By following the acupuncture scholar ZHU Lian's academic thought in modern times, and comparing with other contemporary acupuncture scholars, it is found that since the Republic of China, there has been an obvious practice tendency of scientization among academic thoughts of acupuncture, especially in ZHU Lian. This tendency of scientization continues until the early stage of New China. Accompanied with the process of acupuncture high education, academic thoughts represented by acupuncture-moxibustion textbook are different from scientization that is represented by ZHU Lian, and the basic path of acupuncture-moxibustion education and academic theory changed from here.

Cyclodextrin(CD) is gradually applied in the nonviral gene vector system,due to its biocompatibility and flexibility of tailing via structural modification,polymerization or supramolecular combination.The ideas and research progress of the CD,its low molecular derivatives,CD polymers and CD supramolecular combination in the field of norviral gene vectros were reviewed,and their "structure-safety-transfection efficiency" relationships were discussed.

Objective To investigate the effects of methylprednisolone(MP) on the expression of matrix metalloproteinase(MMP)-9 and airway inflammation in murine models of asthma. Methods Thirty female BALB/c mice were randomly divided into asthma group,MP group and control group(n=10).Murine models of acute asthma were established by ovalbumin(OVA) via peritoneal injection and intranasal instillation.The pathological changes of lung tissues were observed with HE staining,and cell quantitation was conducted in bronchalveolar lavage fluid(BALF).The expression of MMP-9 protein was determined by immunohistochemistry and gelatin zymogram,and the expression of MMP-9 mRNA was detected by RT-PCR. Results Compared with control group,there were more significant airway spasm and more infiltration of inflammatory cells in histologic examination,and there was higher eosinophil cell quantitation in BALF in asthma group(P

AIM: To detect the serum proteomic patterns in patients of breast cancer by the method of SELDI-TOF-MS and CM10 ProteinChip, and to screen the biomarker candidates, build and validate the diagnostic models, and evaluate its clinical value in surveillance and follow-up after operation. METHODS: The SELDI-TOF-MS technology and CM10 ProteinChip were used to detect the proteomic patterns of serum from 63 breast cancer patients and 40 healthy women. The biomarker candidates were screened and the diagnostic models were constructed by ZJU-PDAS software. Meanwhile, the model was blind-validated in another 23 patients and 20 healthy women. At the same time, 16 serum samples were detected to evaluate its value in surveillance and follow-up after operation. RESULTS: The best model was composed by two protein peaks (BC1/3.9 kD and BC2/5.6 kD) with its sensitivity and specificity of 87.30% (55/63) and 95.00% (38/40), respectively. The sensitivity and specificity in the blind-validation of new cases were 95.65% (22/23) and 85.00% (17/20), respectively. The diagnostic efficacies were the same to the patients of different stages (P>0.05). The expression of BC1 increased while BC2 decreased after operation. The expression of BC2 in the patients with recurrence or metastasis was higher than that in the tumor-free survivors (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: This method shows its potential in detection, surveillance and follow-up after operation. The method is also useful for screening the novel and better biomarkers in breast cancer.

OBJECTIVE:To study the mechanism of improvement effects of exenatide on mitochondrial function of H9c2 cells under hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) condition. METHODS:H9c2 cells were cultured in vitro and were divided into blank control group,drug control group(exenatide 200 nmol/L),model group(H/R),pretreatment group(exenatide 200 nmol/L+H/R),gluca-gon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) inhibitor [Exendin-(9-39) 100 nmol/L+exenatide 200 nmol/L+H/R], cAMP inhibitor (Rp-cAMPS 1 μmol/L+exenatide 200 nmol/L+H/R)group and PKA inhibitor(H-895 μmol/L+exenatide 200 nmol/L+H/R)group. Except for first 2 groups,H/R model was established in other groups,and they were given exenatide 30 min before modeling and relevant inhibitor 10 min before giving exenatide. Morphology of mitochondria was observed by TEM,and mitochondrial calcium (Ca2+m)and the mitochondrial membrane potential(ΔΨm)were determined by flow cytometry. Cellular ATP content was measured by microplate reader. RESULTS:Compared with blank control group, mitochondrial cristae swelling was enhanced in model group,while density decreased,showing vacuolization;Ca2+m level increased while ΔΨm and ATP decreased (P<0.05). Com-pared with model group,mitochondrial cristae swelling relieved in pretreatment group,while density increased,showing vacuoliza-tion relieved;Ca2+m level decreased,while ΔΨm and ATP increased(P<0.05). Compared with pretreatment group,the levels of Ca2+m increased in 3 kinds of inhibitors group,while ΔΨm and ATP decreased(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Exenatide attenuates H9c2 cell mitochondria Ca2+m accumulation,increases ΔΨm and ATP production. Which indicate its mechanism may be associated with activating GLP-1R/cAMP/PKA pathway.

Objective To study the changes of interleukin-4(IL-4),IL-6,IL-8 in children with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura(ITP).Methods The serum of IL-4,IL-6,IL-8 in 35 ITP patients and 20 normal control children were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results The serum IL-4,IL-6,IL-8 in ITP patients were elevated. There were significant difference between ITP group and control group(P
