Point Zigong is an empirical point for acupuncture treatment of gynecological diseases. Now it is widely applied to clinical treatment and has a marked therapeutic effect. The therapeutic effect of point Zigong stimulation on gynecological diseases is closely related to the anatomical position, morphostructure specificity and action effect of the acupoint. In the present study on this acupoint, the single acupoint is seldom applied and the mechanism is not completely clear. It is needed to conduct a thoroughstudy in the future.

This study is to report the preparation of complexes of Ad5 and anionic liposomes (AL-Ad5), the amplification of adenoviruses with enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) reporter gene performed by HEK 293 cells, the adenoviral vectors purified by cesium chloride gradient centrifugation, and the titer of adenovirus determined by cytopathic effect (CPE) method, hexon capsid immunoassay and quantitative-PCR (Q-PCR), separately. The prescription and experiment conditions were optimized by central composite design (CCD). The complexes of Ad5 and AL-Ad5 were formulated by the calcium-induced phase change method. The morpholopy, particle size and zeta potential were detected by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. Additionally, the bicolourable fluoresce-labeled complexes (F(labeled)-AL-Ad5) were prepared and their intracellular location in MDCK cells was detected by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The results indicate that the complexes of AL-Ad5 exhibited a uniform distribution with a particle size of 211 +/- 10 nm and a zeta potential of -41.2 +/- 2.2 mV. The result of CLSM demonstrates that the intracellular location of red fluoresce-labeled adenovirus was consistent with that of green fluoresce-labeled liposomes suggesting that the naked adenovirus was well encapsulated by the anionic liposomes in complexes of AL-Ad5.
4.English translation of culture-specific lexicon commonly seen in Huangdi Neijing.
Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine 2008;28(10):941-944
HuangDi NeiJing, the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, a foundational classic of Chinese medical theory, is ranked as the first among the four most important classics of traditional Chinese medicine. Translation of culture-specific Lexicon is a pivot, also a nodus in translating Huangdi Neijing, so, chewing over it is of important meaning for English translation of the Chinese classic or even for that of whole Chinese medicine. In expectation of somewhat contribution to the development of the Chinese medical English discipline, the classification and translation strategy for culture-specific lexicon were discussed by the authors in this paper through an empirical study on comparing the different terms translated in two versions of Huangdi Neijing translation.

To evaluate the immunities of biodegradable microsphere as a release delivery system for DNA vaccine against Infectious Bursal Disease Virus, in our study, silk fibroin/chitosan microsphere adjuvant was prepared with a precipitation/coacervation method. Both glutaraldehyde and Na2SO4 solution were used in cross-linking. No immune chicken were intramuscularly inoculated at 14 day-old and boosted 2 weeks later. The results show that glutaraldehyde destroyed the DNA activity of the vaccine whereas Na2SO4 solution did not. Factors of the chitosan concentration 0.5% (pH 5.0), silk fibroin concentration 0.6%, plasmid DNA (500 microg/mL) dissolved in 2% Na2SO4 solution were optimized to produce microsphere, with a loading capacity of 89.14%. The average particle size of SF-CS/pCI-VP2/4/3 microsphere is 1.98 microm, and it can protect the loading DNA vaccine from DNase I digestion. Data from anti IBDV ELISA antibodies in the serum show that immunization activity of the microsphere groups were generally higher than plasmid vaccine group (P < 0.05), and the SF/CS compound microspheres group was better than that of sole CS microsphere group. The developed SF/CS microspheres are a very promising vaccine delivery system.
