[Objective] To observe the therapeutic effect of Qingfei Jianpi Decoction (QJD) for the treatment of acne vulgaris (AV) . [Methods] One hundred and five cases of AV were randomized into two groups: group A (n =64) was treated with QJD, a prescription medicine mainly composed of Herba Houttuyniae, Cortex Lycii, Cortex Moutan, Radix Scutellariae, Radix Fici Simplicissimae, Radix Flemingiae Philippinensis, Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae, Poria, etc. , and group B (n=41) with tetracycline for 4 weeks. After treatment, the therapeutic effect, changes of facial lesion and signs, and side effects were observed. A 3-month follow-up was made for the cured patients to investigate the recurrence rate. [Results] Facial lesion and seborrheic degree were relieved in group A, the difference being significant as compared with those before treatment (P0.05 ) . The therapeutic effect was better in group A than that in group B (P

Objective To detect the expression of SSX and to correlate it with clinical indicators of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods The expression of SSX1-5 mRNA and SSX1 protein were respectively detected by RT-PCR and Western blot and immunohistochemistry staining.The relation between the expression of SSX mRNA and SSX1 protein with clinical indicators were analysed.Results SSX1,SSX2,and SSX3 mRNA were expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines BEL-7404,Hep G2,and SMMC-7721.In 26 HCC samples,SSX1-SSX5 mRNA was detectable in 53.8%,42.3%,50.0%,46.2% and 26.9%.The expression of SSX1 mRNA was not related to serum AFP levels (P >0.05).Specific expression was both found in the normal group and the high value group.The expression rate of SSX1 mRNA was 85.7% in the older group,which was higher than in the younger group (16.7%,P < 0.05).The expression rate of SSX1 protein was 50% in HCC tissues,which was not seen in the caner-adjacent or cirrhosis tissues.In 49 HCC paraffin tissue section samples,the expression rate of SSX1 protein was higher than that in caner-adjacent tissues (46.9% vs 18.4%,P < 0.05).The expression rate of SSX1 protein was 68.3% in the large hepatocellular carcinoma group,which was higher than in the small hepatocellular carcinoma group (29.6%),(P < 0.05).Conclusions SSX1 mRNA is expressed with a high percentage and specificity in HCC and their products are new potential promising targets for antigen-specific immunotherapy of HCC.The detection of SSX1 expression has the potential value for auxiliary diagnosis of HCC.

“Omics” is a integral thought, which can provide a non-bias method, identify the biochemical pathways of the diseases, and ultimately determine the target for future research. It includes genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabonomics. We elaborate the cooperative development of omics in recent years and it’s role in the genetic variation in Parkinson's disease in this article.

Objective To analyze the clinical curative effect of arthroscopic acromioplasty treatment for subacromial impingement syndrome(SAIS). Methods A total of 52 patients who had SAIS were studied in our hospital by using the Neer score evaluation, the results of the pre-operative and post-operative scores were statistically analyzed. Results All the 52 cases were followed up, the follow-up ranged from 3 to 24 months with an average of 9 months. According to the Neer scoring system, 34 cases less than 70 points in the pre-operation were poor, 14 cases with 71-79 points were fair, 4 cases with 80-89 points were good. And 23 cases with 71-79 points in the post-operation were fair, 24 cases with 80-89 points were good,5 cases with more than 90 points were excellent. The Neer score was(55.25±19.00)before operation, and(81.13±6.28)after operation. There was a significantly statistical difference (t=-9.33, P<0.05). Conclusion The pain and activity of the patients were improved by the arthro scopic acromioplasty. And it has many advantages,such as faster post-operative recovery,low risk of complications and so on.

Objectiveto investigate the differential expression of intestinal flora and serum metabolites and potential biomarkers in patients with pre-diabetic sputum syndrome. MethodA total of 34 patients with pre-diabetic sputum syndrome were included as the phlegm syndrome group,and 37 healthy people were selected as the normal group. Serum and fecal samples of the two groups were collected,and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) non-targeted metabolomics and 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing technology were used to detect serum metabolites and different intestinal flora of the two groups and explore the relationship among pre-diabetic sputum syndrome,serum metabolites,and intestinal flora. ResultIn the distribution of disease syndrome elements in the phlegm syndrome group,the first five disease syndrome elements in terms of frequency and proportion were dampness (73.53%),Qi stagnation (58.82%),Yin deficiency (50.00%),blood stasis (41.18%),and heat (35.29%). According to the frequency and proportion of disease location syndrome elements,the first three main disease location syndrome elements were spleen (100.00%),liver (41.18%),and kidney (23.53%). The results of 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing showed that there were 44 different intestinal flora between the two groups. In order genus,there were significant differences in Bifidobacterium,Veillonococcus,and Roseococcus between the two groups (P<0.05). The diversity,abundance,and evenness of intestinal flora in the phlegm syndrome group were lower than those in the normal group,with the difference not statistically significant. There was no significant difference in the community structure between two groups. The results of serum metabolomics showed that there were 13 differential metabolites in the two groups,which were mainly concentrated in amino acid metabolism,bile secretion,bile acid biosynthesis,and lipid metabolism (P<0.05). The correlation among differential metabolites,intestinal flora,and syndrome elements was analyzed,and the results showed that ① lysine was positively correlated with spleen,Yin deficiency,and blood stasis,while taurocholic acid was positively correlated with liver,kidney,blood stasis,and dampness,and there was a positive correlation between taurocholic acid and yin deficiency and heat. The taurochenodeoxycholic acid was positively correlated with liver and dampness,and there was a negative correlation between arachidonic acid and dampness,as well as a positive correlation between glucose and spleen and blood stasis. ② Clostridium was positively correlated with spleen,kidney,Yin deficiency,and Qi stagnation. Rosepiella was negatively correlated with spleen,and Sutterella was negatively correlated with dampness. Bacteroides was negatively correlated with the spleen and kidney,and Bifidobacterium was negatively correlated with the spleen and dampness. ③ Bifidobacterium was positively correlated with glycine,threonine,lysine,and deoxycholic acid significantly,negatively correlated with cholic acid significantly,and positively correlated with taurochenodeoxycholic acid and pyruvic acid. Clostridium was positively correlated with glycine significantly and positively correlated with threonine and lysine. Lachnospira was negatively correlated with glycine,threonine,and pyruvic acid. Lysine was also negatively correlated with Faecalibacterium and Eubacterium ventriosum and positively correlated with Megamonas. There was a positive correlation between taurocholic acid and glycine bile acid and Campylobacter,between taurochenodeoxycholic acid and Veillonococcus,and between glucose and Rosepiella and Eubacterium ventriosum. There was a negative correlation between pyruvic acid and Escheria-Shigella and between taurochenodeoxycholic acid and Prevotella. Conclusionthere are differences in intestinal flora and serum metabolites between patients with pre-diabetic sputum syndrome and healthy people. The intestinal flora and metabolites have been disturbed in the stage of pre-diabetes,Bifidobacterium,Clostridium,Lachnospira,glycine,threonine,and lysine may be the breakthrough to explore the development of pre-diabetic sputum syndrome.
