Animal medicines mainly contain protein which was organic molecule with quaternary structure and had the property of thermal denaturation. When suffering from heat for a consistent time, the native conformation of protein would be destroyed. After denaturation the biological activity of protein will lose and some physicochemical and biochemical properties will be changed. Leech was a classical animal medicine in the views of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) which had the functions of breaking stagnant and eliminating blood stasis. In the usage history, it was processed for a long time. No matter stir-frying leech with talc powder embodied in Chinese Pharmacopoeia or stir-baking with wine as a distinctive method in Beijing district, the process procedure was basically performed under high temperature. The purposes and intentions of process are mostly limited to technology conditions at specific historical period. In this article, based on existing processing procedure and its character of Leech, the changes of active components and pharmacological activities before and after processing under high temperature were summarized. The results demonstrate that the protein of leech would be denaturated; some active peptide such as hirudin were partly or totally destroyed; some toxic mineral elements, such as Pb, Hg, Cd, were decreased; at the same time, heating can promote some chemical components transforming into hypoxanthine which had the function of antihypertensive, antiasthmatic and antalgic. Consequently, after processed under high temperature, the purpose of decreasing toxicity and alleviating the strong property was achieved. Pharmacological changes of leech processed under high temperature were mainly manifested in the anticoagulant and antithrombotic activity, etc. Based on current processing research status about animal medicine leech, future research methods and directions on scientific connotation of leech processed under high temperature were put forward in this article.

ObjectiveTo investigate the factors related with curative effect and prognosis of postoperative radiotherapy for nasal and paranasal sinuses carcinoma.MethodsThe data of 95 patients with nasal and paranasal sinuses carcinoma and received postoperative radiotherapy were reviewed retrospectively. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the survival, Logrank test used to compare the differences between different groups. Multivariate analysis was performed by Cox proportional hazard model.ResultsThe overall 1, 3, 5, 10-year survival rates of 95 patients were 84.2%, 50.5%, 44.2% and 20% respectively. Univariate analysis showed that sex, age, operative modality and tumor dose were not related with survival. Histological and clinical stages were related with survival. Multivariate analysis indicated that histological and clinical stages were independent prognostic factors. The follow-up results showed that visual disturbance, xerostomia, dysaudia were the major side effects.ConclusionPostoperative radiotherapy can improve therapeutic effect in the treatment of nasal and paranasal sinuses carcinoma, and histological and clinical stages are the independent prognostic factors effecting prognosis.

OBJECTIVETo construct a replication-defective recombinant adenovirus expressing the fusion gene of neuraminidase (NA) gene in influenza virus A/FM/1/47 and C3d and to evaluate the induced immune efficacy.
METHODSNA-C3d was cloned into shutter vector pAdTrack-CMV, which was cotransformated with adenovirus DNA into E. coli BJ5183. The recombinant adenovirus genomic DNA was generated through homological recombination. The recombinant adenovirus was produced by transfecting 293 cell line with the genomic DNA and the induced immune efficacy in mice were analyzed.
RESULTSThe integration of NA-C3d in the adenovirus genomic DNA and its expression were confirmed by PCR and Western-Blot assays respectively. After intranasal immunization, the serum IgG was induced at a titer of 1: 1000 and 1:100 000 in BALB/c mice at primary and secondary immunization respectively. The vaccinated mice were completely survived when challenged with wide influenza virus.
CONCLUSIONrecombinant adenovirus expressing NA-C3d was successfully constructed and it could induce desired immune efficacy.

Objective Dieulafoy's lesion is a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The purpose of this study was to recognize the clinical characteristics of gastric Dieulafoy and to identify possible predictive factors of rebleeding. Methods Retrospective study of patients with gastrointestinal bleeding secondary to Dieulafoy's lesion from January 2009 to June 2016. We analyzed the clinical data and endoscopic findings and the correlated with rebleeding risk factors with Dieulafoy's lesion. Results 111 patients were included in the study, 97 (87.4%) patients were male; the most common location of the bleeding lesions were Proximal stomach of 53 cases (47.7%); According to the Forrest type, 46.8% of the cases were arterial (spurting), 52.3% of the cases were arterial (oozing), there were 101 (91.0%) patients treated by endoscopic combined drug therapy. The success rate of Endoscopic hemostatic treatment was 84.2%, endoscopic hemostatic treatment success rate was as follows: single endoscopic, 85.0%; two endoscopic, 84.8%; three endoscopic, 75.0%. The hemostatic treatment success rate of 101 patients with endoscopic combined drug was as follows: Proximal stomach, 83.7%; mid-stomach, 82.1%; and distal stomach, 88.9%. Age (P = 0.002) and blood transfusion (P = 0.004) were risk factors for rebleeding in the study. Blood transfusion was associated with a higher recurrence rate for bleeding (P = 0.018, OR=37.77, 95% CI = 1.86~766.47) for 101 patients with endoscopic in combination with drug. Conclusion Endoscopic therapy is effective for treating Dieulafoy's lesion. The blood transfusion was associated with a high rate of bleeding recurrence. There were no significant differences between the rebleeding and non-rebleeding groups with respect to bleeding location or hemostatic methods.
