1.The spread and influence of YunQi theory of TCM in Japan
International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2009;31(2):111-112
With the frequent culture communication between china and Japan, YanQi theory of TCM spread to Japan and exerted an influence on Japanese medicine. From the volume of"YunQi" in "The literature investigation of TCM", we can tell YunQi theory occupied a major position in the Japanese medical literatures which spread from china. The primary books of YunQi edited by Japanese scholars reveal Japanese doctors are apt to use this theory to promote their clinical practice. The accordant cognition of Chinese and Japanese scholars is that Japanese doctors accept the value of YunQi theory and beware of it's deficiency in clinic.

Objective To evaluate a new suture coil in endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Methods Data of 15 patients with early gastrointestinal cancer undergoing ESD were retrospectively ana?lyzed. The edge of the lesion was pulled up by the new coil?assisted suture for the submucosal layer to be full?y revealed, then the submucosa were dissected,and the wound was stitched by suture coil. The success rate and complications were evaluated. Results The lesions were successfully resected in 15 patients. By pull?up, the submucosal blood vessels were completely revealed. No intraoperative uncontrollable bleeding oc?curred. Small perforation occurred in one patient, and was well stitched by the suture coil. The pull?ups were successfully completed in all patients, and the operation time was 5?10 min. The intraoperative slippage of fixed titanium clips occurred in two cases. All the wounds were stitched. Minor bleeding happened in 1 pa?tient, and was controlled by hemostatic clip. Conclusion The new suture coil is easy to use,and can effec?tively prevent and deal with the occurrence of intraoperative and postoperative ESD?related complications.

To systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of compound Danshen injection in treating hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) of newborns. Computer retrievals were made in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, VIP and China info (before May 2014) and relevant literature references, and manual retrievals were made for journals and conference papers, in order to collect randomized or semi-randomized controlled trials concerning compound Danshen injection in the treatment of neonatal HIE. The quality of included references was evaluated according to literatures recommended by Cochrane Handbook. RevMan 5. 3 software was applied in the statistical treatment. Finally, a total of 13 randomized controlled trials were included, covering 1,211 patients (including 639 patients in the compound Danshen injection-treated group and 572 patients in the control group). Meta-analysis results showed that the routine treatment combined with compound Danshen injection can improve the treatment efficiency of neonatal HIE [RR = 1.28; 95% CI (1.21-1.36)], reduce the mortality rate [RR = 0.42; 95% CI (0.23-0.75)] and the incidence of long-term neurological sequelae [RR = 0.48; 95% CI (0.35-0.65)], with statistical differences. No fatal side effect was observed in all of included trials. So far, limited evidences in this study proved that the application of compound Danshen injection in the treatment of neonatal HIE can enhance the clinical efficiency. However, because of the low quality of the included trials, more well-designed and large-scale multi-center randomized controlled trials shall be made in the future.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that polyethylene polymer-synthesized ureteral stents have good biocompatibility in vivo, but the side effects are found to induce the body to produce inflammatory, pyrogenic, and al ergic reactions. Therefore, studies have mainly aimed to explore the biocompatibility, toxic and side effects, inflammation of newly developed ureteral stents synthesized by L-lactic acid, glycolide, and barium sulfate. OBJECTIVE:Based on the biocompatibility comparisons on cel toxicity test, inflammatory reaction, al ergic reaction, pyrogen reaction and mortality after implantation between the usage of polyethylene material and L-lactic acid, glycolide, barium sulphate syntheses, to provide a better reference to introduce a new clinical ureteral stent material. METHODS:There were three groups in the experiment:blank control group, new material group, polyethylene group. Cel s were cultured in normal medium, leach liquid of L-lactic acid, glycolide, barium sulphate syntheses and leach liquid of polyethylene, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The toxic effects were significantly enhanced in the urethral epithelial cel s that grew in the leach liquids of two materials compared with the blank control group (P<0.05), but the two kinds of materials had no significant statistical difference in the toxicity test (P>0.05). Hematoxylin-eosin staining results showed that there were obvious inflammatory infiltrations in muscle tissue and the number of neutrophils and eosinophils were increased when the two kinds of materials were implanted in the rats for 2 and 6 weeks (P<0.05), but the inflammatory infiltration and tissue damage in the new material group was less than that in the polyethylene group (P<0.05). ELISA results showed that the serum concentrations of interleukin-10 and interleukin-23 were significantly increased when the two kinds of materials were implanted in the rats for 6 weeks (P<0.05), but the content of inflammatory cytokines in the new material group was less than that in the polyethylene group (P<0.05). In the new material group, there was only one rat that developed al ergic reaction and there was no pyrogen reaction or death;however, in the polyethylene group, there were three rats with presence of al ergic reaction and one rat with pyrogen reaction but no death. These findings indicate that the new ureteral stent material synthesized with L-lactic acid, glycolide and barium sulphate can reduce inflammation reactions, al ergic reactions and pyrogen reactions to the body, and has better biocompatibility than polyethylene composite material.
