Malignant tumors and the relative medical treatment of western medicine greatly affect the quality of life. This paper described the history and current situation of using acuponcture treating malignant tumor, and pointed out predominance of traditional Chinese medicine in treating tumor is treament based on syndrome differentiation and treatment according to the time of a day, which provides new ideas for acupuncture treatment of malignant tumors.

Objective To elucidate the molecular basis on the differences of infectivity in infected cells between Sindbis virus(SINV:YN87448 virus)and Sindbis like virus(SINLV:XJ-160 virus).Methods Compare the E(glycoprotein)gene sequence and secondary structure of YN87448 virus and XJ-160 virus by bioinformatics analysis.Analyze the contribution of E gene to the biological differences between SINV and SINLV by constructing recombinant virus.Results By bioinformatics analysis,YN87448 virus and XJ-160 virus have the same genomic structure,which has 11 717 nt and 11 626 nt respectively.There are 82 amino acid differences between E gene of these two viruses,and showed scattered distribution.The main peak is basically the same for the hydrophobic of the E gene protein,but in some region existing small differences.The recombinant virus which exchanged the E gene of XJ-160 virus with YN87448 virus totally showed the biological character of YN87448 virus,either in the showing time of CPE,plaque forming time and plaque diameter,or in expression of functional proteins.Conclusion E gene plays a major role in the differences of infectivity in infected cells between SINV and SINLV,this result provide the molecular biological evidences for elucidating the biological differences between SINV and SINLV.
