Professor Jin Shi-yuan has been worked in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) over 70 years. He made prominent contributions in identification, processing, dispensing of TCM and reasonable use proprietary Chinese medicine. In over 70 years, he has mastered herbal medicine and traditional Chinese Medicine. It is also professor JIN's academic characteristic. Professor JIN's practical experiences were summarized according to the current situation about clinical medication, change of species of Juhong and Chenpi has been different from species of medical history. The quality is lower than before. Medicinal parts of Danggui, Gancao, Huangqin and Wuyao has been changed. So the actions of these herbal medicines have been changed also. Fresh herbal Qianchangpu has disappeared but it should be used clinically. Medical history, change of species, change of medicinal part, and change of preparing process in professor JIN's academic idea were be summarized periodically. The result is hoped to be referred by administration, manufacture, medical treatment of TCM.

OBJECTIVETo dynamically assess drug targeting of Yougui Pill (YP) and Zuogui Pill (ZP) using infrared thermography.

METHODSIn this self-control experiment, five healthy volunteers were recruited. By using infrared thermography 10 to 11 thermal images of different body locations were taken from each participant after they took warm water, YP, ZP, and their dissembled prescriptions at 30, 70, 100, 130, and 160 min, respectively. The heat values in the lower quadrant abdomen, uterus, Du channel, and Shenque (CV8) were statistically analyzed after scanning for 125 times.

RESULTSAdministration of YP and its disassembled prescriptions enhanced the heat value of the locations of the Du channel and Shenque (CV8), but did no enhance the heat value of the lower quadrant abdomen at 30 min. Administration of ZP and its disassembled prescriptions reduced the heat value in the locations of the lower quadrant abdomen, uterus, Du channel, and Shenque (CV8) at each time point.

CONCLUSIONThe drug targeting of ZP and YP focused on the locations of the Du channel and Shenque (CV8), not on the locations of the lower quadrant abdomen or uterus.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small (approximately 22 nt) RNAs that exhibit a diversity in sequence,structure,abudance,and expression profile. Bioinformatic approaches and direct cloning methods have identified 3518 miRNAs from various species. MiRNAs play a pivotal role in the regulation of genes involved in diverse processes such as development,differentiation,and cellular growth control. Recently,many viral-encoded miRNAs have been discovered, most from the herpesviruses viral family. Virus-encoded miRNAs seem to evolve rapidly and regulate both the viral life cycle and the interaction between viruses and their hosts. The detailed study on the virus-encoded microRNAs and the role they play in the progress of viral infection,replication and expression will be beneficial to understand viral molecular biology,and also provide new strategies for the prevention and treatment of virus.

Objective To explore the effect of execution sheet for health education in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients. Methods About 50 CHF patients hospitalized from October 2015 to December 2015 were assigned as the control group and another 50 CHF patients hospitalized from January to March 2016 were set up as the experiment groups. The control group was instructed by the regular health education and the experiment group was instructed by the execution sheet for health education. Results The executive ability in the experiment group were stronger than that of control group (P<0.01). The level of self management among the patients in the experiment group was higher than those of the that control group. Conclusions The health education execution sheet increase the patients' self-management and strengthen nursing ability for discharged patients. It is worthy of popularization in clinical practice.

Objective To assess the safety and effectiveness of nasegastric enteral nutrition (NGEN) in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Methods A meta-analysis of all the relevant clinical trials was performed.Clinical trials were identified from the following electronic databases:Medline,EMBASE,the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register,and Chinese Bio-medicine Database.The search was undertaken in October 2008.The literature quality was evaluated with Cochrane Handbook 5.0.The statistical analysis was performed by RevMan 4.2 software.Results Four trials involving 157 patients were included.The combined results showed that no significant differences in the safety and tolerance between nasogastric and conventional routes in patients with SAP.Conclusions Currently available data show early NGEN appears to be effective,safe,and tolerable in patients with SAP.However,more large-scale high-quality trials are required to further elucidate this topic.

Currently, as an important raw material of Chinese traditional patent medicines, Paridis Rhizome is in great demand, which led to its price increases. In order to protect the wild resources and satisfy market demand of Paridis rhizome, the researches in various directions were conducted, involved its chemical composition, pharmacological action, clinical application, resource investigation, artificial cultivation, etc. Herein, the chemical studies of genus Paridis Rhizome, aerial parts of Paridis Rhizome gummy and starchy Paridis Rhizome, and the studies of endophyte in Paridis Rhizome were reviewed and analyzed in order to explore the substitutes of Paridis Rhizome, and provide the reference for the enlargement of medicinal resources of Paridis Rhizome. It manifests that the steroidal saponins, the important chemical compositions in Paridis Rhizome were tested in genus Paridis Rhizome, aerial parts of Paridis Rhizome, gummy Paridis Rhizome and the endophyte in Paridis Rhizome. However, the further experimental studies and clinical verification works should be carried out to confirm the final substitute.

SUMOylation is a post - translational modification consisting of covalent conjugation of ubiquitin - like proteins called small ubiquitin related modifier ( SUMO ) . SUMO modification has been shown to significantly alter protein activity, which can modulate protein stability, affect protein-protein interactions, and modify protein localization and trafficking. This process adds another layer of control in eukaryote gene expression, and it regulates both transcriptional activation and repression. This article reviews the current situation and future development of SUMOylation in ophthalmology.

Objective To compare efficacy and side effects of intravenous versus oral indomethacin treatment for symptomatic patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in preterm infants.Methods Fourty-nine preterm infants were reviewed retrospectively who were diagnosed as having symptomatic PDA confirmed by echocardiography.According to the using type and approach that were divided into 2 groups (intravenous group,n=21;oral group,n=28) and their doses and intervals were same.The rates of ductal closure and side effects were compared in 2 groups.Results There were no significantly different between 2 groups in single ductal closure and complicating other diseases. Soon closure of intravenous group was higher significantly than oral group [61.9 %(13/21) vs 28.6 %(8/28),P
