Traditional Chinese Medicine Informatics is a new branch created by integration of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Information Science.To research the connotation and principle of TCM Informatics will enrich the theory and promote the development of disciplines.This article thoroughly discussed the theoretical foundation and discipline characters of TCM Informatics.Then it discussed the principle and tasks from TCM information formation,acquisition,identification,transformation,feedback control,activation and dissemination of experiential knowledge.

Objective:To compare the shear bond strength of dentin to composite resin in different post-treatment time period after tooth bleaching with the TREE dental whitening gel and observe the dentin/composite interface of each group. Methods:Eighteen intact premolars were randomly divided into 3 groups(n=6):A:The specimens were immersed into artificial saliva for 3 weeks then adhesion without bleaching; B:Adhesion immediately after bleaching for 3 weeks,during bleaching the specimens were immersed into artificial saliva; C:Before adhesion the specimens immersed in artificial saliva for further 2 weeks after bleaching for 3 weeks. Five specimens from each group were randomly submitted to shear bond strength test. The specimen remained in each group were sectioned to be observed by the scanning electron microscope.Results:(1)The shear bond strength of the group B (10.74?3.03) MPa was significantly lower than that of the group A (18.61?3.56) MPa or the group C (17.21?3.15) MPa (P0.05); (2)The resin tags present in the dentin/composite interface was scarce for the group B,and that were shorter than the group A; The resin tags of the group A and group C were similar in number,but that of the group C was shorter than that of the group A. Conclusion:The use of TREE whitening gel immediately before bonding significantly reduces bond strength,but immersion of bleached teeth in artificial saliva for 2 weeks before bonding results in a return to control bond strength.

Objective To investigate the level of professional commitment of nursing baccalaureate students,and explore the relationship between the professional commitment and communication ability.Methods Questionnaires were used to investigate 430 nursing baccalaureate students who were studying in the school.Results The professional commitment of nursing students was in the middle level.Correlation analysis revealed that the communication ability was correlated with the professional commitment.Conclusions We should take measures to improve the competency of professional commitment of nursing undergraduate students,strengthen their communication ability,promote the construction of nursing staff.

Objective To investigate the new method of ureter bladder anastomosis in renal transplantation.Methods The ureter was pulled into bladder for 1.2 cm through tunnel at the lateral- top of bladder wall,and the ureter fixed on the bladder wall by 2-3 acus with catgut suture.Results Forty of 42 patients had no complications,and recovered very well,except for 1 cases of necrosis caused by acute rejection and 1 case on urine leakage caused by catheter obstruction from blood clot.Conclu- sion This method is simple,easy to operate,safe and reliable with less complications.

Objective By studying the prescriptions and medicines for treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA) prescribed by modem doctors, we tried to provide new ideas for developing the new medicines for treating rheumatoid arthritis. Methods 340 prescriptions on treating rheumatoid arthritis were collected from core medical periodicals and books published in the recent 20 years. Make a statistical analysis to the medicines in these prescriptions according to TCM etiological and pharmaceutical theories and modern researching foundlings. Results Among all 254 Chinese medicines used for treating RA, 32 medicines belong to worm and vine medicines, being used for 806 times. Conclusion The worm and vine medicines are frequently used in treating RA with good therapeutic effects combined with other kinds of medicines.

Objective:To explore the methods and the role of clinical pharmacists in the medical advice audit. Methods: The questionnaire was designed to analyze the results of the medical advice investigated by the clinical pharmacists from November 2011 to October 2012. Results:Totally 3 232 patients were in the use of antimicrobial drugs in a investigation of 14 675 patients in 178 724 medical advices, accounting for 22. 0% of the total number of the investigation;the use of antimicrobial agents in patients with medical advices of antimicrobial were 5 387, accounting for 3. 0% of the total number of the investigation;597 errors were detected and inter-vened, accounting for 0. 33% of the total number of the investigation;the main errors were dose errors, usage errors and repeated med-ication errors. Indication error and interaction error were more in the critically ill patients monitored by the clinical pharmacists than that in the general ward patients. Conclusion:Clinical pharmacists and ward pharmacists to participate medical advice review, partic-ularly to concern about the patients with medical advices of antimicrobial drugs, and to intervene reasonably in the dose errors, usage errors and repeated medication errors can improve the overall quality of the hospital pharmacist team, make sustainable development of rational use of drugs and reduce the risk of medication.

The quality control in novelty assessment of medical literature was analyzed in terms of its strict process, improvement of its staff literacy, and perfection of information resources, with certain suggestions put for-ward its quality control .

Objective To develop the specific module of quality of life instrument for patients with esophageal cancer. Methods with the structured group ( nominal group and focus group) methods and the qualitative and quantitative theory and methodology in developing rating scales, items were preliminary screened, evaluated and modified. And the data measuring from 28 cases of esophageal cancer patients and 25 doctors/nurses were analyzed by 4 statistical procedures: method of coefficient of variation, correlation analysis, patients'importance rating procedure and doctors' importance rating procedure. Results By above statistical procedures and advises of doctors, thus 19 - items specific module was formed finally. Conclusions The specific module developed on the strict procedures has good content representativeness and validity.

Objective: To explore the clinical significance of combination preoperative carbohydrate loading and postoperative enteral nutrition in patients with gastric cancer during perioperative period. Methods: 70 patients were randomly divided into group A(preoperative fasting + postoperative EN,n = 23),group B(preoperative carbohydrate loading + postoperative TPN,n = 23) and group C(preoperative carbohydrate loading + postoperative EN,n = 20).After operation,insulin sensitivity,nutritional status,immune function and clinical outcome were compared among three groups. Results: Compared with the other two groups in insulin sensitivity,nutritional status,immune function and clinical outcome,the group C was better and different(P
