Stomach-qi refers to, in a broad sense, the vital qi of human body, i.e. postnatal vigorous qi and, in a narrow sense, the physiological function of spleen and stomach. Digestive function of spleen and stomach and nutrition get from diet play a key role in keeping and maintaining life and health. Human rely on the qi of food and water they take in, and qi of spleen and stomach transports and transforms the food and water, so we say, “Stomach-qi is the root of human body”. Pathologically, the stomach qi strong or declin is one of the key factors results in diseases. One will be healthy or seldom affected by disease if his or her stomach qi is not damaged; even affected by severe disease, with undamaged stomach-qi and good appetite, one will have a favorable turn. On the contrary, once the stomach-qi is hurt, one will be easily affected by evils or state of the illness will aggravate. So, “If one wants to observe the state of an illness, he or she must observe stomach-qi first; if one wants to treat a patient, he or she must consider the stomach-qi. There would be no worries, if stomach-qi is fine.” Principles for protecting stomach-qi is to treat and regulate the diseases of spleen and stomach in time and to take care of spleen and stomach when one is treating disease of other viscera.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of anisodamine combined with oxytocin on labor process of lying-in women with prolonged active phase in the first labor process and related indicators of newborns. METHODS:216 lying-in women with pro-longed active phase in the first labor process were randomly divided into control group(108 cases)and observation group(108 cas-es). All lying-in women were artificially ruptured,based on it,control group was given 2.5 u Oxytocin for injection,adding into 500 ml 5% Glucose injection by intravenous infusion,the drip rate was appropriately adjusted based on contractions;observation group was additionally given 10 mg raceanisodamine hydrochloride,adding into 10 ml 5% Glucose injection by intravenous infu-sion by 5 min slow intravenous injection. The fetal heart was warded to closely observe the labor process during medication. The cervical maturity,labor process time,delivery mode and postpartum situation of lying-in women,Apgar score,body mass and inci-dence of adverse reactions of newborn in 2 groups were observed. RESULTS:The lying-in women cases with no less than 9 cervi-cal maturity,natural delivery rate and 5 min newborn Apgar score in observation group were significantly higher than control group, lying-in women cases with 7-9 scores and less than 7 scores,cesarean section rate,perineal/ straight cut rate and 24 h postpartum hemorrhage were significantly lower than control group,the second,the third and total labor process were significantly shorter than control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);there were no significant differences in the time of incubation period and active period,forceps delivery rate,body mass of newborn and incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Anisodamine combined with oxytocin can accelerate the cervical dilation of lying-in women with pro-longed active phase,shorten labor process,reduce cesarean section rate and improve prognosis,it did not affect the body mass of newborns,with good safety.

Objective To evaluate the prophylactic efficacy and safety of posaconazole against invasive fungal disease(IFD)in hematologic patients with neutropenia.Methods Medical records of 18 hematologic patients with neutropenia received posaconazole for preventing IFD in a Beijing hospital between 2014 and 2015,the efficacy and safety was evaluated.Results There was no clinical diagnosis or confirmed diagnosis of IFD among 18 patients during posaconazole prophylaxis period,none of patients stopped posaconazole due to severe adverse reaction.Two patients with acute myeloid leukemia(AML) died of pulmonary infection,1 of whom isolated Stenotrophomonas maltophilia from sputum culture on the 12th day of posaconazole prophylaxis,the other isolated Escherichia coli from sputum culture on the 14th day of posaconazole prophylaxis.Other patients all adherence to posaconazole prophylaxis until granulocyte count recovered,patients were followed up until 100 days medication,no death occurred.The lowest peripheral neutrophil count was(0.00-0.27) x 109/L during posaconazole prophylaxis period,with the median of 0.02 x 109/L;the duration of posaconazole prophylaxis was 8-27days,with the median of 16 days;among patients without IFD breakthrough or received systemic use of other antifungal agents,there were 2 (11.1％) all-cause death within 100 days;there were no adverse reaction,such as liver function abnormalities≥grade 2 and kidney function abnormalities≥grade 2,as well as QTc prolongation.Conclusion Posaconazole is effective for preventing IFD in hematologic patients with neutropenia,adverse reaction is rare.

AIM: To investigate the effect of soybean isoflavones (SI) on ventricular remodeling induced by myocardial infarction (MI). METHODS: MI was induced by permanent ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) in male Sprague-Dawley (SD)rats. Rats were randomly divided into six groups: shamThree hours after the operation, the drugs or solvent were administrated ig qd for 35 d. Twenty-four hours after the last administration, heart rate (HR), left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP), peak systolic left ventricular pressure (Peak), maximal rate of left ventricular pressure rising (+dp/dtmax), maximal rate of left ventricular pressure declining (-dp/dtmax) and myocardial maximal shortening velocity (Vmax) were measured. After above hemodynamic parameters were measured, hearts were extracted. The ratio of total ventricle weight to body weight(TVW/BW) was calculated. Myocardial collagen was shown with the collagen-specific picrosirius red stain,myocardial interstitial collagen volume fraction(ICVF), perivascular collagen volume fraction(PCVF), infarct size,septal thickness (ST) and left ventricular diameter (LVD) were measured by image analysis system. RESULTS:(31 ± 5) %, respectively, all of which were significantly smaller than that in MI group (( 38.9 ± 2.9) %, P ＜ 0.01 ).In MI group, TVW/BW, LVD, ICVF and PCVF were remarkably increased compared with those in sham group (P ＜ 0.01 ). The increased TVW/BW, LVD, ICVF and PCVF were significantly reduced by treatment with eaprats in MI group was significantly decreased than that in sham group (P ＜ 0.01 ). The reduced ST could be in-dp/dtmax and Vmax were decreased (P ＜ 0.01 ), while LVEDP was increased (P ＜ 0.01 ), significantly. The reSION: SI can improve cardiac function and ventricular remodeling induced by myocardial infarction in the rat.

AIM: To study the effect of genistein on c-myc mRNA expression induced by oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) in human vascular endothelial cells (ECV304). METHODS: LDL were isolated from healthy human plasma by gradient ultracentrifugation and oxidized by CuSO4. ECV304 cells were exposed to ox-LDL 200 mg*L-1 in the presence or absence of genistein 100 μmol*L-1 for 1, 2, and 4 h in vitro. Northern blot was employed to measure c-myc mRNA levels of ECV304. RESULTS: In response to ox-LDL 200 mg*L-1, c-myc mRNA expression in ECV304 increased by 3 fold for 1h and 3.3 fold for 2 h and decreased below the control level at 4 h. Expressions of c-myc stimulated by ox-LDL in the presence of genistein 100 μmol*L-1 for 1 h and 2 h were separately 80 percent and 60 percent of that in the absence of genistein 100 μmol*L-1. CONCLUSION: Genistein can effectively inhibit c-myc mRNA expression in ECV304 induced by ox-LDL.

OBJECTIVE: Adopting methods of cell culture to explore the effects and mechanisms of Jianpi Bushen Huoxue Prescription (JPBSHXP), a traditional Chinese compound herbal medicine for strengthening spleen, reinforcing kidney and activating blood circulation, in inhibiting hematopoietic cells apoptosis in a mouse model of aplastic anemia (AA). METHODS: Blood serum of AA mice was made from an AA mouse model. Blood serums containing different traditional Chinese compound herbal medicine were made from rats after intragastric administration of JPBSHXP and its related decoctions, respectively. Bone marrow cells of normal mice were incubated by these blood serums for 24 hours, respectively. The apoptosis of the bone marrow cells were assayed by flow cytometry and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). RESULTS: It was indicated that the bone marrow cells of normal mice incubated with blood serum of AA mice displayed typical apoptosis. The apoptosis rates of bone marrow cells of the AA mice incubated by blood serum containing different traditional Chinese herbal medicine were decreased. The effect of Bushen (reinforcing kidey) Recipe was better than Jianpi (strengthening spleen) Recipe and Huoxue (activating blood circulation) Recipe, while the effect of JPBSHXP was the best. TEM results showed that the effect of Bushen Recipe was better than that of the Jianpi Recipe and the Huoxue Recipe, while the effect of JPBSHXP was the best. CONCLUSION: JPBSHXP and its related decoctions can significantly decrease the apoptosis rate of bone marrow mononuclear cells of the AA mice. It is inferred that JPBSHXP can promote bone marrow hematogenesis.

A total of 906 subjects with no history of diabetes who had undergone coronary angiography were included in this study and categorized into four groups according to the level of fasting plasma glucose (FPG):≤5.5 mmoL/L,5.6-6.0 mmol/L,6.1-6.9 mmoL/L,and ≥ 7.0 mmol/L.Significant coronary artery disease (CAD) was defined as ≥ 50％ reduction of lumen diameter at least in one major coronary artery.The severity of coronary atherosclerosis was defined by the Gensini score.The clinical data,laboratory indexes,and coronary angiography results were compared among various groups.The risk factors for the prevalence and severity of angiographic CAD were analyzed.The results showed that the prevalence of angiographic CAD,the number of diseased vessels,and the Gensini score were increasing with increasing FPG levels among four groups (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).The FPG level was significantly correlated with angiographic CAD (P =0.004) and the Gensini score (P =0.010),suggesting that FPG was an independent risk factor for the prevalence and severity of angiographic CAD.
