Hidden-pathogen theory is always a leading theory of febrile disease etiology from the proposal until the Ming Dynasty and it plays a critical guiding role on development and maturity of febrile disease theory. However, along with the change of times and drift of disease spectrum, this theory is facing unprecedented challenges. The gradually in-creased clinical experiences and facts have been difficult to be explained and induced using the already existed hidden-pathogen theory. Since hidden-pathogen theory has its own theoretical status and value, which cannot be lightly given up, the question of how to develop this theory in order to better reveal the pathogenesis in the guidance of diagnosis and treatment has become the focus of attention. This paper tried to proposeemotional hidden-pathogenas an example to provide a possible paradigm to develop hidden-pathogen theory and systematically expound main ideas and reasoning processes of emotional hidden-pathogen doctrine and to explore its theoretical significance and application value.

Journal of Interventional Radiology 2006;0(10):-
Objective To evaluate the biocompatibility,immunology and physiologic features of encapsulated Newborn Porcine Islets(NPI) in the liver of the recipient dogs with type I diabetes.Methods Type I diabetic dogs were perfused with 400 000-600 000 encapsulated NPI(group A,n = 15)or unencapsulated NPI(group B,n = 15)through the hepatic artery without immunosuppressive treatment.Liver function and CD4/CD8 in the recipients were measured before and after the transplantation.The livers from all NPI recipient dogs were analyzed by histopathology 6 months after transplantation(Tx).Results Insulin dose administrated to group A was reduced gradually within one week after Tx,from 22 u before Tx to 5 u after Tx,exogenous insulin required for group B was decreased from 24 u to 10 u.However,2 to 3 weeks after Tx,the insulin dose given to group B returned to the original level before Tx.In contrast,the amount of insulin administrated to group A was continually reduced to 8 u.Moreover,CD4+ cells in the blood of group B recipients were higher than that before Tx,whereas no significant alteration of CD4+ cells and CD8+ cells in the blood of group A after Tx.All NPI recipient dogs demonstrated a normal function and structure of the liver after Tx.Conclusion Microcapsulated NPI has a good biocompatibility in recipients livers providing prolong-ation of xenograft survival,and correcting the hyperglycemia of diabetic canines.(J Intervent Radiol,2006,15: 607-610)

Objective To evaluate the value of preoperative spiral CT (SCT) scanning in the diagnosis and staging of middle-late stage rectal carcinoma. Methods The results of SCT scanning of 34 patients with middle-late stage rectal carcinomas were compared with the pathological examination results and the findings of surgical operation. Results SCT could display the manifestations of middle-late stage rectal carcinoma, such as rectal wall thickening, local tumor mass, tumor invasion of rectal circumference, narrow rectal cava, lymph node enlarging (diameter≥10mm) and tumor distant metastasis. According to Duke's staging, the overall accuracy of SCT staging was 70.6%, and for the stages B1, B2, C, and D the sensitivity was 83.3%, 50%, 66.7%, 78.5%, and the specificity was 62.5%, 44.4%, 57.1%, 100%, respectively. According to TNM staging, the overall accuracy of SCT was 73.5%, and for the stages T2, T3, T4 the sensitivity was 85.7%, 61.5%, 78.6%, and the specificity was 54.5%, 66.7%, 100%, respectively. Conclusion Preoperative SCT could display the invasive range of middle-late stage rectal carcinoma and the tumor lymph nodes metastasis, especially distant metastasis, and had a definite diagnostic value.

As a common disease in clinical, the treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) focused on local intervertebral disc, such as surgery and other interventional therapy treatment, but postoperative complications and recurrence rate has been a difficult problem in the field of profession. With the development of spine biomechanics and anatomy, researches on lumbar herniation also increased. Researchers discovered that the incidence and prognosis of LDH were inseparable with local muscle and soft tissue. As the deep paraspinal muscles, multifidus muscle plays an important role to make lumbar stability. Its abnormal function could reduce the stable of lumbar spine, and the chronic lumbar disease could also lead to multifidus muscle atrophy.

BACKGROUND: It is of great importance in improving the clinical effect of human islet allograft to study and design models of such large animals as pigs or primates preclinically.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of different doses of streptozotocin (STZ) on inducing diabetes type Ⅰ models of nonhuman primates.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A contrast observational animal experiment was performed in the Cell Transplantation and Gene Therapy Center, the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from October 2007 to December 2008. MATERIALS: A total of 21 adult male rhesus monkeys were divided into a 125 mg/kg STZ group (n =5), a 75 mg/kg STZ group (n=5) and a 50 mg/kg STZ group (n=11).METHODS: STZ weighed with regard to body mass of animals was prepared into 25 g/L STZ solution with buffer that was prepared in advance. After being filtered and degermed, the new-prepared STZ of 125 mg/kg, 75 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg were administered by intravenous injection into the experimental monkeys respectively, which took 1-5 minutes.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Liver and renal function, glucose metabolism and histomorphological changes of animals during 1-16 weeks following administration.RESULTS: In 125 mg/kg STZ group, two rhesus monkeys died, in 8 hours following STZ administration, of serious hypoglycemia caused by severely damaged pancreas β cells; All rhesus monkeys in this group had got significantly increased liver transaminase, serum creatinine and urea nitrogen at week 1 following STZ administration, which reached a peak during 2-4 weeks; One rhesus monkey in this group showed severe shortage of endogenous trypsin and hyperglycemia irreversible by exogenous insulin following STZ administration, and finally died at day 13 following STZ administration due to the glucose metabolic disorder, ketoacidosis, liver and renal failure; The other two survivors in this group kept high level of liver transaminase,urea nitrogen and serum creatinine throughout the observation period. In 75 mg/kg STZ group, rhesus monkeys presented significantly increased liver transaminase, serum creatinine and urea nitrogen at week 1-2 following STZ administration; After 4 weeks following administration, their liver and renal function presented with abnormality of different degrees; One rhesus monkey in this group had got injured renal function, decreased power of resistance, eyelid edema, general dropsy and irreversible infected rump after injection of STZ, and finally died at the end of week 5 following administration; Another rhesus in this group presented with irreversible continuous hyperglycemia, inappetence and significantly decreased weight, and finally died ofsystemic failure at week 9 following administration. In the 50 mg/kg STZ group, renal function of monkeys were slightly affected, with a transient mild rise which return to the normal level by the end of week 4 following administration; Only 3 animals in this group appeared eyelid edema during 1-4 weeks following administration which disappeared afterwards.CONCLUSION: STZ of 50 mg/kg is possibly the optimal dose for inducing diabetes models in most rhesus monkeys.
