Objective]The article summarizes the essentials of clinical dialectical experience by professor Zhang Qin on threatened abortion. [Methods]From following professor Zhang Qin clinical studies, studying professor Zhang Qin’s medical cases and selecting medical records on uterine hemorrhage with placenta low set, recurrent miscarriage with prothrombotic state, serious uterine hemorrhage with repeated vaginal bleeding, we can summarize the thoughts and experience on treating threatened abortion.[Results]Professor Zhang Qin considers that threatened abortion occurs mainly because of the deficiency of kidney ,maybe because of the deficiency of qi failing to lift or the deficiency of yin or the blood heat accompanied with blood stasis which leading to hemorrhage. We can respectively treat them by nourishing and lifting qi, nourishing yin or by clearing away heat to stanch the flow.[Conclusion] Professor Zhang Qin’s experience on treating threatened abortion has positive effect and is worth of further study.

Objective To develop the method of 16S rRNA gene clone library for tick bacterial flora analysis, and to analyze the detection effective of pathogens in tick and capacity of bacterial flora diversity. Methods Primers were designed according to the specific gene of Borrelia burgdorferi, Bartonella henselae, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Ehrlichia chaffeensis and templates were choosen by positive PCR result to amplify the DNA extracted from the ticks. One set of primers targeting 16S rRNA gene conserved region were chosen to amplify certain fragments, DNA extraction, PCR reaction, cloning and sequencing. Nucleotide sequences were compared with GenBank database. Calculated Coverage values of clone library and Shannon-Wiener diversity index. Results Sixteen defined genus-or species-bacteria were detected in 103 valid sequences. Eight species were edge type (Clone No. > 5). Three kinds of pathogens were identified (Borrelia burgdorferi, Bartonella henselae and Rickettsia sp). Three kinds of pathogens were not edge type(Clone No. < 5). Coverage value was 96.11%, and Shannon-Wiener index was 2.40. Analysis results of cloning sequence showed that tick-parasitic bacteria mainly were α and γ deformation mycetes which accounted for 56.25% (9/16). Conclusions The 16S rRNA gene sequences technology could make relative quantitative of bacterial flora, and detect many kinds of pathogens in tick. It's a good method for detection of pathogens and bacterial flora analysis.

Objective To analyze the trend of incidence and mortality on thyroid cancer in China.Methods Data from 32 cancer registry sites in China was collected and Jionpoint model was used to obtain the crude,age-specified incidence and mortality,both Chinese national and world age-standardized rates of incidence and mortality and their trends.Results The crude incidence of thyroid cancer was 4.44/105,and the Chinese national and world age-standardized rates were 2.89/105 and 3.31/105 respectively.The crude mortality of thyroid cancer was 0.44/105,with the Chinese national and world age-standardized rates as 0.21/105 and 0.29/105 during 2003-2007 in the country.Thyroid cancer accounted for 1.67％ and 0.26％ of the Chinese national and world age-standardized proportions,for total cancers.Both incidence and mortality of thyroid cancer were higher in females than in males,3.38 and 1.75 times higher in urban areas than those in rural areas.The incidence of thyroid cancer showed annually increase of 14.51％ while the mortality had an increase of 1.42％.Conclusion The incidence and mortality of thyroid cancer increased rapidly in China,calling for more control efforts on this disease.

OBJECTIVETo provide a modern method for extraction and separation total flavonoids in Epimedium koreanum.

METHODUsing high pressure technology extracts total flavonoids in E. koreanum, and comparing with counter-current extraction with reflux. The total flavonoids contents is determined by UV-VIS.

RESULTThe extraction efficiency is 9.67% and taking 5 min by high pressure method, using reflux, is 6.14% and 4 h respectively.

CONCLUSIONThe method of high pressure is high efficiency and saving time, which have extensive application in the extraction of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

The borneol was included with β-CD and prepared Fufang Danshen intestinal adhesion pellets. GC method for determination of borneol in Fufang Danshen intestinal adhesion pellets was established to study its in vitro dissolution and make a comparison with the Fufang Danshen tablet, in this way, the rationality of dosage form was evaluated. The first method of dissolution determination was used for determining the in vitro dissolution of borneol in Fufang Danshen intestinal adhesion pellets in artificial intestinal juice, and Fufang Danshen tablet in artificial gastric juice and intestinal juice, respectively. Result shows: the concentration of borneol in Fufang Danshen intestinal adhesion pellets and Fufang Danshen tablet was 0.79% and 0.80%, respectively. Its in vitro dissolution was nearly 70% within 12 h in Fufang Danshen intestinal adhesion pellets, and in Fufang Danshen tablet, the dissolution was about 60% within 20 min and more than 90% within 40 min, and in artificial gastric juice, was less than 20% within 40 min but more than 80% till 150 min. Research suggests that in comparison with Fufang Danshen tablet, in vitro dissolution of borneol in the Fufang Danshen intestinal adhesion pellets showed an obvious sustained release behavior. The borneol in Fufang Danshen intestinal adhesion pellets was included with β-CD and prepared enteric preparations. To some extent, the stimulation on stomach and intestinal mucosa can be reduced and safety can be improved.

OBJECTIVETo compare the difference of vasomotor functions in aortas segments from Wistar rats between 1-hour and 6-hours after exposure of water-soluble components of fine particulate matter (PM2.5).

METHODSAll 30 Wistar rats were assigned to five groups (n=6 for each group) at random: the blank control group, control group for 1-hour and 6-hours, exposure group for 1-hour and 6-hours. The rats were sacrificed 1-hour or 6-hours later and aorta ring segments were mounted on wire myographs.

RESULTS(1) There was no significant difference in vasomotor functions among three control groups (P>0.05). (2) 1-hour or 6-hours after exposure there was a decrease of contraction elicited by 60 mmol/L KCl in contrast to the control group (P<0.05), whereas no significant change between the exposure group for 1-hour and 6-hours (P>0.05). (3) On the level of 10(-5) or 10(-7) mol/L, 1-hour after exposure there was a decrease in endothelium-dependent acetylcholine (ACh) elicited relaxation precontracted by 10(-6) mol/L NE compared with the control group (P<0.01 or P<0.05), on the level from 10(-5) to 10(-7) mol/L there was a decrease compared with the exposure group for 6-hours (P<0.05), whereas no difference between the exposure group for 6-hours and the control group (P>0.05). On the level from 10(-5) to 10(-9) mol/L, 1-hour after exposure there was a decrease in endothelium-independent sodium nitroprusside (SNP) elicited relaxation precontracted by 10(-6) mol/L NE as compared with the control group (P<0.01 or P<0.05) and a decrease on the level of 10(-6) or 10(-9) mol/L compared with the exposure group for 6-hours (P<0.05), 6-hours after exposure a decrease was caused as compared with the control group on the level from 10(-5) to 10(-7) mol/L (P<0.01 or P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONSInhibition of contraction and impairment of relaxation in aortas should be caused 1-hour after exposure to water-soluble components of PM2.5 in the air, which is weaken 6-hours after exposure.
