TCM service trades grew rapidly and enjoyed optimistic future during the 12th five-year period, which was in good development trend. However, it is still in its primary stage of development and facing various challenges. This article argued that the development of TCM service trades will meet great opportunities, such as governmental policy encouragement, cooperation with other industries, the increasing acceptance of international market and the acceleration of internationalization of TCM. Meanwhile, there are also some difficulties - small industry scale and weak brand management, absence of legislation, lack of qualified professionals and various service trade barriers.
3.The gaps between the guideline and clinical practice of the management of acute diarrhea in adults in Shanxi Province
Chinese Journal of Infectious Diseases 2014;32(2):107-110
Objective To evaluate the management of acute diarrhea in adult and to assess physician's adherence to guidelines recommended by Manatsathit working group.Methods A multicenter cross-sectional survey was carried out in 10 hospitals in Shaanxi Province with assignment of 40 patients each hospital.The difference of enumeration data between groups was analyzed using chi square test.Quantitative data were compared using t test.Results Data were collected from 400 patients.60.5% (242/400) were female and mean age was (38.4 ± 17.5) years.In Manatsathit guideline,stool examination and stool culture for bacteria are recommended in patients with watery diarrhea with dehydration and in patients with bloody diarrhea.In this survey,of the 64 patients with dehydration,only 38 (59.4%) and 13 (23.3%) patients had done stool routine test and vibriocholera culture,respectively.Compared to Manatsathit guideline,the differences were obvious (x2 32.627 and 84.779,respectively; both P<0.01).Of the 30 patients with bloody diarrhea,25 (83.3%) cases had stool examination done,which was roughly in line with Manatsathit guideline (x2 =3.491,P=0.062).However,stool culture for bacteria was performed only in 3 (10%) patients,which was significantly different with the guideline (x2 =49.091,P< 0.001).Overall,30 (7.5 %) cases were diagnosed with acute bacillary dysentery clinically,and the remaining 370 (92.5%) were diagnosed with acute infectious diarrhea.Of the 370 patients with watery diarrhea,only 189 (51.1%) patients were prescribed with rehydration therapy,which was different with the recommendation of Manatsathit guideline (x2 =239.600,P<0.01).Of the 216 patients who received rehydration therapy,144 (66.7%) cases should be prescribed with oral rehydration salts (ORS) and 72 cases should be prescribed with intravenous fluid replacement according to Manatsathit guideline.However,only 31 (14.4%) were prescribed ORS and up to185 (85.6%) patients received intravenous fluid replacement instead (bothx2 =122.700; both P<0.01).On the basis of the guidelines,only 76 (19.0%) patients were eligible to use antibiotics.However,up to 258 (64.5%) patients were treated with antibiotics,which was absolutely against the recommendation of Manatsathit guideline (x2 =170.300,P<0.01).Conclusions There are deep gaps between the clinical practice of treatment for acute diarrhea in adults in various levels of hospitals in Shaanxi Province and the recommendation of Manatsathit guideline.It is imperative to make domestic guidelines for adult acute diarrhea and to widely train physicians with algorithm for the management of adult acute diarrhea.

Chinese Journal of Microbiology and Immunology 2014;(9):713-717
Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and disease control of epi-demic cerebrospinal meningitis (meningitis) in Xi′an in order to optimize the measurement for disease con-trol and prevention .Methods The reported cases , pathogen surveillance data and immunization coverage for meningitis were analyzed to evaluate the epidemic status , the number of healthy carriers and the disease control efficacy.Results The incidence of meningitis was 22.51/100 000 from 1951 to 1984 in Xi′an. Since the implementation of Expanded Immunity Program in 1984 , the incidence dropped significantly from the average incidence of 4.87/100 000 in 1980′s to 0.59/100 000 in 1990′s.The average incidence of men-ingitis was 0.095/100 000 from 2001 to 2011 and then showed a dramatic downtrend with no cases reported during 2012 to 2013 .Conclusion The analysis suggested that an expanded coverage of vaccine immuniza -tion and an enhanced disease surveillance system for meningitis should be used as the comprehensive meas -urements for the prevention and control of disease .
5.The incidence,natural history, biology, and treatment of transformed lymphomas
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2010;19(4):193-195
1 or 2 grade FL followed by a diffuse large cell lymphoma(DLCL) ot a Burkitt/Burkitt-like lymphoma is TL.TL maintains a phenotype suggestive of germinal center derivation.The most common immunophenotype is the same as that of FL, CD+10/bcl-6+. Obtaining a biopsy of TL is enhanced if the biopsy is directed to the site with the greatest SUV. The risk of transformation of about 30% at 10 years after the initial diagnosis of FL.The median duration of survival after transformation generally ranging from 1 to 2 years.HDCT-ASCT, allogeneic tranplantation,radioimmunotherapy and bendamustine are the possible therapy for TL.

China Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Pharmacy 2005;0(07):-
Objective: To observe the Prevention Action of Changtong Oral Liquid (CTOL) on the postoperative intestinal adhesions in rabbits. Method: Thirty-six male New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into six equal groups (n=6): Normal control (group 1); model control (group 2); Simo Decoction (group 3); and CTOL minimal, medium and maximal dosages (group 4,5,6). Except group 1, the other rabbits were created as intestinal adhesive models. Group 1 and group 2 were orally fed with distilled water (20ml/kg), and group 3 to 6 with Simo Decoction 10ml/kg and CTOL in doses of 2.15g/kg, 4.30g/kg and 8.60g/kg respectively. On day 3 after surgery, the blood samples were collected to determine the fibrinolytic activity, and on day 9 the adhesion was graded. Result: CTOL could evidently reduce the severity of postoperative adhesions and increase plasma tPA activity and inhibit plasma PAI-1 activity. Conclusion: CTOL could prevent postoperative intestinal adhesion formation.

Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture and Moxibustion 2015;(11):1062-1063
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of warm needling moxibustion in treating peptic ulcer.Methods Sixty patients with peptic ulcer were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 30 cases each. The treatment group received warm needling moxibustion and the control group took omeprazole and ranitidine. The clinical therapeutic effects were compared between the two groups after two months of treatment.Results The cure rate and the total efficacy rate were 53.3% and 93.3%, respectively, in the treatment group and 33.3% and 76.7%, respectively, in the control group; there were statistically significant differences between the two groups (P<0.05). The efficacy rates for symptoms (gastralgia, stomach fullness, belching and acid regurgitation, and nausea and vomiting) were 93.3%, 89.3%, 88.5% and 91.7%.Conclusion Warm needling moxibustion is an effective way to treat peptic ulcer.

Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2001;0(09):-
Objective:To investigate the effects of human factor Ⅸ (FⅨ) intron 1 inserted in forward orientation into retroviral vector on the expression of FⅨ in muscle cells. Methods: Two FⅨ mini-genes, FⅨm1 and FⅨm2, were inserted in forward orientation into retroviral vector backbone, LⅨSN, constructing 2 vectors named LⅨm1SN and LⅨm2SN, containing shortened intron of 1.4 and 0.3 kb, respectively. Retrovirus was made by transfecting PA317 packaging cells. Transient and stable expression of FⅨ was tested in SCID mouse muscle cells (SCID-MB). Results: The vector titers and expression levels of LⅨm1SN and LⅨm2SN in SCID-MB were 1 to 2 folds higher than that of LⅨSN. Some SCID-MB colonies transfected with LⅨm2SN contained intact FⅨm2 inton elements, suggesting that splicing of virus mRNA may not be complete in packaging cells. Conclusion: FⅨ intron 1 inserted in forward orientation in retroviral vectors can increase retroviral titer and the expression level of FⅨ in muscle cells.
9.Effect of Changtong oral liquid on serum TNF-? and IL-4 levels of rats with postoperative intestinal adhesion
Medical Journal of Chinese People's Liberation Army 1982;0(03):-
Objective To observe the effect of Changtong Oral Liquid (CTOL) on serum TNF-? and IL-4 levels in rats with postoperative intestinal adhesion. Methods Sprague-Dawley (SD) male rats were randomly divided into six groups: normal control, no treatment control, Simo Oral Liquid (SOL) group, and CTOL group (minimal, medium and maximal dosages). Except for normal control group, intestinal adhesions were produced in all the other rats with the method of Ellis. The blood samples of rats with CTOL medium dosage and no treatment group were collected on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th day, and that of the rest was drawn on day 7 after surgery for the determination of TNF-? and IL-4 levels. Results The serum TNF-? levels were higher in no treatment rats compared with the normal controls (P0.05). Conclusions TNF-? was closely related to adhesion formation, and it may be regarded as a marker of adhesion formation.
10.Evidence-based approach for the best level of transducer when continuous invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring
Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2017;33(5):372-375
Objective To find the best level of transducer when continuous invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring using evidence-based approach. Methods Searched in three databases (Cochrane, PubMed,sinoMED), meanwhile the website of related academic societies,supplemented with Citation Index. Results There were 11 articles after selected. The majority of evidences (9 articles) suggested leveling with the heart, one suggested leveling with the catheter tip,and the other one regarded the matter as nothing important. Conclusions Transducer should be leveled to align the heart rather than the tip of arterial catheter when continuous invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring, but it doesn't matter which surface landmark of the heart. It was suggested that changing the level of transducer when changing the patient position or head of bed.
