The modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is urgent need of the modern theory of TCM, is a consensus. But, How to establish and what kind of modern TCM theory, is far from a consensus. Based on the summarization of the common law in the construction of scientific theory, we are trying to give a answer that are expected to form a consensus. Firstly, we have illustrated the trend that the development of TCM theory should learn from the life and medical sciences theory function and value; Secondly, we have proven that TCM and TCM theory belongs to the traditional medicine and theory and pointed out the limitation of the traditional medicine, TCM and its theory. And then we have revealed the inevitable trend of traditional medicine, TCM and its theory development at home and abroad, logically obtained the inevitable choice of constructing the modern TCM basic theory; Lastly, we have analyzed the different discipline new theory construction process and method at home and abroad and discovered the common five steps rule, put forward three principles and five steps of constructing modern TCM basic theory, demonstrated its important role during the theoretical revolution promoting Chinese Medicine theory from phenomenon description to mechanism clarification and the scientific value of Chinese Medicine theory in the domestic and foreign development trend.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of intensive dose atorvastatin on preventive contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in elder with coronary heart disease (CHD) after elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods110 subjects older than 60 who received elective PCI,were randomly divided into intensive dose atorvastatin group (the study group,n =50) and conventional treatment group (the control group,n =50).On the ba sis of the hydration therapy,the study group received atorvastatin and the control group received atorvastatin.Scr、β2- MG and liver function were checked for evidence of tubular or glomemlar damage before and after elective PCI were compared between the two groups.Ccr was calculated according to Cockcroft-Gault formula;The incidence of the major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and cytotoxicity and hepatotoxicity of rosuvastation were respectively recorded in 30 days follow-up period.ResultsCcr in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group at day 1 [( 73.12 ± 16.89 ) ml/min vs ( 63.89 ± 18.42 ) ml/min,P =0.036],day 2 [( 65.32 ± 13.46 ) ml/min vs (55.63 ± 15.47 )mL/min,P =0.021] ;Blood β2-M in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group at day 1 [( 2.44 ± 0.42 ) ml/min vs ( 2.69 ± 0.63 ) mL/min,P =0.009],day 3 ( 2.52 ± 0.46 ) mL/min vs (2.81 ±0.63) ml/min,P =0.011],day 3[(2.37 ±0.43) ml/min vs (2.54 ±0.65 ) ml/min,P =0.021].The incidence of CIN was lower in the study group than that in the control group(6％ vs 24％,P =0.012).During 30days clinical follow-up,the incidence of the MACE in the control group was more than the study group ( x2 =5.316,P =0.021).There was no significant difference between the two groups for the cytotoxicity and hepatotoxicity.ConclusionHigh dose atorvastatin may be more efficient in prevention CIN in elder before elective PCI and this higher dose may be safe to the elder.

Objective To investigate therapeutic effect of endoscope?guided bougie dilatation on children with benign esophageal stricture. Methods Data of 71 patients with benign esophageal stricture were retrospective analyzed.Patients were divided into group A (reflux stricture),B (congenital esophageal atresia stricture) and C ( caustic injuries stricture) ,based on different causes. The expansion effectiveness and factors of the three groups were analyzed. Results A total of 885 expansions were performed on 71 patients with the total efficacy rate 94?37%( 67/71) . No statistic differences were shown in expansion effectiveness among the 3 groups; group C ( 14?9 times/case, P < 0?05 ) showed more expansion frequencies than group A (9?1 times/case,P<0?05)and group B(10?7 times/case, P<0?05),more complications than group A(1?22%VS 0,P<0?05) and group B(1?22% VS 0?31%,P<0?05). Conclusion Endoscope?guided bougie dilatation is safe and effective for childrens′ benign esophageal stricture. Caustic injuries, refractory benign esophageal stricture,need more expansions and may be accompanied with more complications.

Objective To study multimodal analgesia in patients who underwent transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods 60 patients who underwent TACE for HCC from Aug.2016 to Nov.2016 were randomized into two groups:the multimodal analgesia group and the control group.The pain scores of these two groups of patient during the procedure and at different posttreatment time points,and the rates of adverse effect and pharmacoeconomic differences were recorded.Results When compared to the control group,the pain scores at 0 h,2 h,4 h,6 h,12 h after treatment in the multimodal analgesia group were significantly lower (P ＜ 0.05),and the satisfactory scores for the patients were significantly improved (96.6％ vs.66.7％).The multimodal group of patients also had significandy lower adverse effect rates of nausea and vomiting,and it was more cost-effective.Conclusions Patients who required multimodal analgesia had better pain relieve,patient satisfaction and less adverse reactions after TACE than patients in the control group.Multimodal analgesia was a safe,effective and economic way to control TACE pain and it was worth recommended in clinical practice.

Objective: To explore the value of magnetic resonance fat quantification technology (MR mDixon-quant) in evaluating thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) activity. Methods: Case control study was performed.Fifty patients (100 eyes) with TAO which met Mourits criterion were enrolled from September 2016 to March 2018 in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region People's Hospital.The TAO patients were grouped by clinical activity score (CAS). Twenty nine patients (58 eyes) with CAS≥3 served as TAO active group, twenty one patients (42 eyes) with CAS<3 served as TAO non-active group.Twenty three healthy subjects (46 eyes) were collected as normal control group at the same time.All subjects underwent orbital MR mDixon-quant and MR imaging.Orbital fat content (FF values) and exophthalmus was calculated on MR work-station.FF values and degree of exophthalmus were analyzed by analysis of variance.The correlation of FF values and CAS in TAO patients was conducted by Spearman rank correlation analysis.The cut-off values of FF in predicting TAO activity was determined by receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve.The Kappa consistency test was chosen to assess the consistency of CAS and FF values.Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were used to analyze the intra-observer and inter-observer repeatability of the FF values and the degree of exophthalmus.This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region People's Hospital (No.20160718). All the candidates signed informed consent. Results: The FF values were (85.190±4.346)%, (88.715±5.686)% and (82.345±5.445)% in TAO active group, TAO inactive group and normal control group, respectively, with a significant difference among the 3 groups (F=17.072, P<0.001). The FF values of TAO active group and TAO inactive group were significantly higher than that of control group, and the FF value of TAO active group was significantly lower than that of TAO inactive group (all at P<0.01). The degrees of exophthalmos were (20.221±1.714), (20.855±2.103) and (15.363±1.667)mm in TAO active group, TAO inactive group and normal control group, respectively, with a significant difference among the three groups (F=126.298, P<0.01). The degrees of exophthalmos in TAO active group and TAO inactive group were significantly higher than that in normal control group (both at P<0.01), there was no statistical difference in degrees of exophthalmos between TAO active group and TAO inactive group (P<0.05). Spearman rank correlation revealed that FF value was negative correlated with CAS (r_s=-0.443, P<0.01). The cut-off value of FF value was 87.180%, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy were 74.14%(43/58), 66.67%(28/42), 75.44%(43/57), 65.12%(28/43) and 71.00%(71/100), respectively.There were consistencies of FF values with the CAS (Kappa=0.431, P<0.001). The intra-observe and inter-observer reproducibility were fairly good for FF value (ICC=0.953, 0.920) and degree of exophthalmus (ICC=0.935, 0.917). Conclusions MR mDixon-quant can quantitative measure orbital fat with good measurement repeatability.Fat quantification technology by MR is valuable in evaluating TAO activity.

The mammalian central nervous system (CNS) is considered an immune privileged system as it is separated from the periphery by the blood brain barrier (BBB). Yet, immune functions have been postulated to heavily influence the functional state of the CNS, especially after injury or during neurodegeneration. There is controversy regarding whether adaptive immune responses are beneficial or detrimental to CNS injury repair. In this study, we utilized immunocompromised SCID mice and subjected them to spinal cord injury (SCI). We analyzed motor function, electrophysiology, histochemistry, and performed unbiased RNA-sequencing. SCID mice displayed improved CNS functional recovery compared to WT mice after SCI. Weighted gene-coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) of spinal cord transcriptomes revealed that SCID mice had reduced expression of immune function-related genes and heightened expression of neural transmission-related genes after SCI, which was confirmed by immunohistochemical analysis and was consistent with better functional recovery. Transcriptomic analyses also indicated heightened expression of neurotransmission-related genes before injury in SCID mice, suggesting that a steady state of immune-deficiency potentially led to CNS hyper-connectivity. Consequently, SCID mice without injury demonstrated worse performance in Morris water maze test. Taken together, not only reduced inflammation after injury but also dampened steady-state immune function without injury heightened the neurotransmission program, resulting in better or worse behavioral outcomes respectively. This study revealed the intricate relationship between immune and nervous systems, raising the possibility for therapeutic manipulation of neural function via immune modulation.
