Translation is a process not only concerning on the language transformation, but also concerning on the cultural communications. However, due to the diversity between cultures, translation loss is a stumbling block which has to be coped with, or a necessary process called translation compensation. This paper, employing the method of text analysis, attempts to compare two English versions ofHuangdi-Neijing by Veith and Li-Zhaoguo as study cases to discuss the translation compensation strategies from the perspective of Bassnett’s cultural translation theory, thus achieving the optimal translation effect.

To investigate the effect of thiopental sodium on the release of glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) from synaptosomes in the prefrontal cortex, synaptosomes were made, the spontaneous release and the evoked release by 30 mmol/L KCl or 20 micromol/L veratridine of glutamate and GABA were performed under various concentrations of thiopental sodium (10-300 micromol/L), glutamate and GABA concentrations were determined by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Our results showed that spontaneous release and evoked release of glutamate were significantly inhibited by 30 micromol/L, 100 micromol/L and 300 micromol/L thiopental sodium, IC50 of thiopental sodium was 25.8 +/- 2.3 micromol/L for the spontaneous release, 23.4 +/- 2.4 micromol/L for KCl-evoked release, and 24.3 +/- 1.8 micromol/L for veratridine-evoked release. But GABA spontaneous release and evoked release were unaffected. The study showed that thiopental sodium with clinically related concentrations could inhibit the release of glutamate, but had no effect on the release of GABA from rats prefrontal cortical synaptosomes.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of glycine on the lung injury in acute necrotizing pancreatitis(ANP). Methods Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: sham operation, ANP group,pretreated group and treatment group(with intravenous glycine 1g/kg). Serum TNF ? level,glutathione (GSH) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) in pulmonary homogenate were determined at 6, 12, and 24h hours after ANP induced. Pulmonary pathology and 3 day survival rate were compared between the groups.Results Compared with ANP group,in glycine pretreated group serum TNF ? level significantly reduced at 6,12, and 24h,while in glycine treatment group serum TNF ? level decreased at 24-hour . In glycine pretreated group or treatment group, the pulmonary GSH content were decreased.In both glycine pretreated group and glycine treatment group, pulmonary MPO activity decreased at 12 and 24h,and pulmonary pathologic severity significantly ameliorated and survival rate increased. Conclusions Although glycine can not increase the GSH synthesis,but giving prophylactic or therapeutic glycine may be effective in improving acute lung injury in ANP, probably through the inhibition of the infiltration and activation of leukocytes.

Differentiating bipolar disorder (BD) from unipolar depression (UD) is an important clinical challenge.Review the development of Magnetic Resonance Imaging ( MRI) in distinguishing the BD and UD, identifying objective markers of BD, to optimize clinical decision making.Database including PubMed,Wan Fang,CNKI and so on.The key words were usedunipolar depressionormajor depressive depression,bipolar depression,MRI,modeland so on.A little neuroimaging studies to date have directly compared UD and BD depressions.Most results from these studies suggest more heavy neural circuit abnormalities in BD than UD depression,involved in different brain regions.Predictive models based on neu-roimaging characteristics of BD and UD obtain a higher accuracy and can help differentiate BD from UD.This review serves as a call to highlight the need for more neuroimaging studies to compare individuals with BD depression with individuals with UD depression directly.Using neuroimaging results as objective biological i-dentification markers is a feasible research field.

Transcutaneous immunization (TCI) is a novel immunotherapy approach that induces systemic immune responses via topical application of antigens and adjuvants onto the skin.It is a safe and effective method,and is expected to serve as an attractive alternative to traditional vaccination.TCI induces immune responses in different directions,but the exact mechanism of skin immune tolerance is still unclear.Most studies on TCI are based on animal models.However,there are structural differences between animal skin and human skin,so more researches are needed to achieve the translation of TCI from bench to bedside.Not all vaccines are suitable for cutaneous inoculation,so vaccines for TCI should be evaluated for their safety and efficacy.Various reformed vaccine delivery systems are needed to be further explored in related diseases.

The principle of R0 resection for colorectal cancer(CRC)has been widely accepted based on the preoperative imaging evaluation.The surgeons should scientifically and strictly assess resectability of tumors and furthest reduce tumor residuals.Patients with initial unresectable CRC will give priority to conversion therapy and then undergo R0 resection if converting into resectable tumors.Palliative operation for the patients who cannot receive R0 resection according to the clinical assessment should strictly follow surgical indications and achieve wellplanned and clear surgical purposes.There is no evidence that the palliative operation or cytoreductive surgery benefits to survival of patients,and decreasing complications and improving quality of life through minimum wound are the basic principles.

Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations, histopathological patterns and causes of misdiagnosis of primary malignant tumor in small intestine (PMTSI). Methods The clinical data of 90 cases of PMTSI confirmed by pathology admitted from 1981 to 2002 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Results The main pathological patterns of PMTSI were adenocarcinoma, leiomyosarcoma, lymphoma and malignant neurilemmoma. The common clinical manifestations were abdominal pain, anemia and hemorrhage, jaundice, weight loss and intestinal obstructions. Preoperative diagnosis rate was 22.2%(20/90). It was easily misdiagnosed as other digestive tract diseases and pelvic disorders. Preoperative misdiagnosis rate was 77.8%. Conclusions The main pathological patterns of PMTSI are adenocarcinoma, leiomyosarcoma, lymphoma and malignant neurilemmoma.Its clinical manifestations and diagnostic examination methods are not good enough, which usually leads to misdiagnosis ,so attention must be paid.

This paper reported a sporadic case of a 29-year-old Han female diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) by next generation sequencing (NGS),one of genetic analysis techniques.She was admitted because of recurrent intractable seizure for 26 years,dizziness and headache for 3 months.Physical examination revealed angiofibromas over her face,shagreen patches in her lower back area,and hypomelanotic macules around her limbs and body.Cranial MRI manifested lesions on lateral ventricles,cerebellar vermis and left temporal lobe with abnormal signal changes on both sides of extensive cerebral cortex.A pathogenic and heterozygous missense mutation,c.T1967C,in exon 16 of her TSC1 gene was found via genetic tests,which has not yet been reported before.

Compared with patients with high-middle rectal cancer,local recurrent rate of low rectal cancer in patients is worse.The poor outcome of low rectal cancer is due to the unique anatomical features of the low rectum and the lack of clearly defined anatomical excision planes.Therefore,how to use the appropriate imaging methods,evaluate accurately preoperative cancer staging,plan feasible surgical plane and select the appropriate surgical approach,these will be very important for radical resection of rectal cancer.Therefore,the quality of life and long-term survival of the patients will be improved.

Leptin,a polypeptide hormone coded by Ob-gene,has the functions of depressing appetite,reducing caloric intake and enhancing caloric consumption,etc.Leptin has a close relationship with kidney,for it is metabolized and eliminated via kidney.Meanwhile,leptin can also directly affect kidney functions,influencing the process of chronic renal failure.Furthermore,hyper-leptinemia is associated with anorexia,malnutrition and cardiovascular diseases.Different dialysis patterns may also play different roles in cleaning leptin.For example,common dialysis could not clear leptin,but other dialysis modes such as high permeability dialysis,hemodiafiltration,and mastic absorption hemoperfusion can alleviate hyper-leptinemia through cleaning leptin partly.For kidney transplantation patients,hyper-leptinemia may affect the immune balance which has been maintained for a long time.
