"Treatment based on diseases identification and formulas corresponding to diseases" is one of important therapy modes of Chinese medicine. Although it originates from Huangdi Neijing, it is seldom systematically discussed. Modern Chinese medicine (CM) now faces diseases mostly with comparatively confirmed Western medical diagnoses. Most of them have specific pathophysiological changes. How to interpret these specific pathophysiological changes, play CM's advantages, and improve clinical efficacies has become an inevitable problem for modern CM in clinic. Authors expounded historic development and clinical application of "formulas corresponding to diseases", and its difference from "formulas corresponding to syndromes", put forward that we should combine "formulas corresponding to diseases" and "formulas corresponding to syndromes" in CM clinics. We should focus on the disease and summarize treatment rules, thereby improving targeted CM formulas.

This study is to investigate the inhibitory effect and mechanism of prosapogenin A (PSA) on MCF7. MTT assay was performed to determine the inhibitory effect of PSA on MCF7 cells. PI/Hoechst 33342 double staining was used to detect cell apoptosis. RT-PCR was used to test the mRNA levels of STAT3, GLUT1, HK and PFKL. Western blotting was performed to determine the expression of STAT3 and pSTAT3 protein in MCF7 cells. The results showed that PSA could dose-dependently inhibit cell growth of MCF7 followed by IC50 of 9.65 micrmol x L(-1) and promote cell apoptosis of MCF7. Reduced mRNA levels of STAT3, HK and PFKL were observed in MCF7 cells treated with 5 micromol x L(-1) of PSA. PSA also decreased the level of pSTAT3 protein. STAT3 siRNA caused decrease of mRNA of GLUT1, HK and PFKL which indicated STAT3 could regulate the expressions of GLUT1, HK and PFKL. The results suggested that PSA could inhibit cell growth and promote cell apoptosis of MCF7 via inhibition of STAT3 and glycometabolism-related gene.

·AIM: To investigate the effect of vitamin A on the conjunctival goblet cells of rat after corneal transplantation.·METHODS: Rat graft rejection models of corneal transplantation were established. SD rats were receptor and Wistar rats were donors. After corneal allografts were performed, 48 SD rats were randomly divided into three groups, 16 rats in each group. Group A was blank control group; group B was treated by oculotect gel (containing vitamin A); group C was treated by 1g/L dexamethasone eyedrops. Besides, group D was normal unoperated eyes.Slit-lamp microscope was employed to record and compare rejection index (RI) of corneal transplantation. Through HE,PAS staining of conjunctival histological sections and image analysis system, the number and morphology of conjunctival goblet cells were observed and analyzed between operation group and normal group.·RESULTS: The HE, PAS staining detection showed that the number of conjunctival goblet cells in oculotect gel group,1g/L dexamethasone eyedrops group and control group is lower than that in normal group after surgery (P＜0.01). The number of conjunctival goblet cells in oculotect gel group and 1g/L dexamethasone eyedrops group is higher than that in control group (P＜0.05). The number of conjunctival goblet cells in 1g/L dexamethasone eyedrops group is higher than that in oculotect gel group (P＜0.05).·CONCLUSION: The results indicate that vitamin A may inhibit the decrease of conjunctival goblet cells after corneal allograft rejection in rats.

OBJECTIVE To investigate spectrum and drug resistance of No-Pseudomonas aeruginosa,to provide the basis for proper use of antibiotics and prevent patients from hospital acquired infection.METHODS API staph analysis system and the K-B agar diffusion test according to NCCLS were used to identify 357 strains of No-Pseudomonas aeruginosa and to performe drug sensitivity test.RESULTS From 2004 to 2008,357 strains of No-Pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated.There are 233 Stenotrophomonas maltophilia strains(65.27%,233/357),55 Burkholderia cepacia strains(15.41%,55/357).Sputum was the main sourse of No-P.aeruginosa(88.52%,316/357).The isolation rate of No-P.aeruginosa was the highest in intensive care units(38.10%,136/357),the next was department of respiratorymedicine(23.53%,84/357).The results of drug susceptibility test showed that the resistance rate of No-P.aeruginosa to most drugs were higher,only the resistance rates of S.maltophilia to minocycline,gatifloxacin and levofloxacin were lower,(3.26%,20.55% and 20.83% respectively),The resistance rates of B.cepacia to meropenem,piperacillin/tazobactam and Imipenem were lower,being 29.17%,33.33% and 39.62% respectively.CONCLUSIONS The most common strains is S.maltophilia and Burkholderia cepacia,the most common site of infection is lower respiratory tract,Most strains of S.maltophilia are isolated from ICU and department of respiratory diseases.The result of drug sensitive test showed that there were high rates of multiple drug resistance in No-P.aeruginosa and treatment of No-P.aeruginosa infection should be based on the results of the drug susceptibility test.

BACKGROUND:Core decompression and autogenous bone grafts are widely used in treatment of early avascular necrosis of femoral head. According to the report, the success rate of this therapy has obvious difference;the reasons may be related to inaccurate puncture location and secondary damnification of repeated puncture. OBJECTIVE:To reconstruct three-dimensional model of femoral head necrosis by Mimics software for reappearance of lesions in the necrotic area to realize measurement of necrotic area of the femoral head and estimation of its volume. METHODS:We restructured images by using multi-slice spiral CT Syngommvvp VE23A workstation, Inspace software and NeuroDSA software. Hip CT data in DICOM format were imported into Mimics 13.0 software systems. Necrotic area of the femoral head was reconstructed with Mimics SimuIation software to truly reproduce the integrated form, scope and stereochemical structure of the necrotic area so as to achieve the measurement of the necrotic area of the femoral head and the volume estimation. We designed the best core decompression channel, simulated core decompression surgery, so that the patients could refer to the best simulated decompression path in the operation of core decompression. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Among 36 patients (48 hips) with avascular necrosis of femoral head, there were phase I in 8 hips, accounting for 17%, phase II in 28 hips, accounting for 58%, and phase III in 12 hips, accounting for 25%. (2) The volume of necrotic area was (1 475.48±647.342) mm3 in the phase I, (4 571.77±2 344.55) mm3 in the phase II, and (4 836.46±2 969.33) mm3 in the phase III. (3) We simulated the core decompression based on the radius of the sphere of the necrotic area as parameter in the Mimics Simulation software module, and then completely cleared the necrotic area. (4) Surgery can more clearly understand information and stereochemical structure of the necrotic area with Mimics software to simulate the core decompression. It is the theoretical basis of operation.
