Bile dut injury (BDI) is one of the severe complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).The classification,diagnosis and treatment of the BDI caused by LC are partly controversial.The most efficient classification of the BDI is Strasberg-Bismuth's classification and the three modes and four classes developed by the Biliary Surgery Group of Surgery Branch of Chinese Medical Association.Although the success rate of intraoperative diagnosis for the BDI is very low,in most cases,the BDI is diagnosed by clinical manifestations and assistant examinations.Accurate classification and early diagnosis could help us to make a specific one for each patient according to certain situation.In this review,we focus on the classification,diagnosis and treatment of the BDI caused by LC.

Objective: To investigate the effect and mechanism of liraglutide on vasodilatation of thoracic aortic ring in experimental rats.
Methods: The thoracic aortic rings were isolated from 32 male SD rats and divided into 2 groups: Without endothelium group and With intact endothelium group, n=16 in each group. The contractile force of vascular ring was detected and the effect of liraglutide (1×10-5 mol/L) on vasodilatation of norepinephrine (NE, 1×10-6 mol/L) pre-contracted ring was observed. The aortic ring in With intact endothelium group was further divided into 2 sub-groups:①the aortic ring was pre-treated by the inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) (L-NAME at 10-4 mol/L),② the aortic ring was pre-treated by non-specific ATP-sensitive-potassium (KATP) channel (Glibenclamide at 10-5 mol/L), n=8 in each group. The impacts of liraglutide on those 2 sub-groups were studied.
Results: Liraglutide had no effect on isolated aortic ring at basic condition. Liraglutide at (10-5 mol/L) had vasodilatation effect in both Without endothelium and With intact endothelium groups, the effect was stronger in With intact endothelium group and the maximum vasodilatation reached 17%, P<0.05. In both pre-treated sub-groups, the effect of liraglutide on vasodilatation in sub-group①reached 4%, P<0.05, and the effect in sub-group②
reached 14%, P>0.05.
Conclusion: Liraglutide had obvious effect of vasodilatation on NE pre-contracted thoracic aortic ring in experimental rats, the mechanism might be related to NOS, while KATP channel could not block the vasodilatation effect of liraglutide.

Herbal prescription science is a bridge between basic and clinical subjects in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). In studying the doctrines in the general textbook Herbal Prescription Science and applying them to clinical practice, it was found that they are imprecise and inapplicable. Based on the analysis of Suanzaoren Decoction, Xiaoqinglong Decoction, Jichuan Decoction, etc., the authors point out that this problem is due to the current pathogenesis-based research approach of the herbal prescription science. It is proposed that correspondence between formula and syndrome is the core of the herbal prescription science. In order to solve such a problem, searching for corresponding relationship between an herb or a formula and the signs and symptoms of a syndrome or disease should be the most important task in research of herbal prescription science, for emphasis on attention to the objective indications and evidence in clinical utilization of herbal formulas is the major feature of the herbal prescription science according to medication experience in the long history of TCM.

There is a regular pattern in the diagnosis and treatment of exogenous high-grade fever, of which the key point is formula syndrome identification. Syndrome differentiation of the six channels is appropriate for not only exogenous cold but also various other conditions. The diagnosis and treatment of high-grade fever can also follow the law of syndrome differentiation of the six channels. The theory of epidemic febrile diseases stems from and elaborates on an understanding of exogenous febrile conditions, so many effective formulas used to treat epidemic febrile diseases also have great value in the treatment of high-grade fever. Deteriorated syndrome, which is central to this condition, is very commonly seen in cases of high-grade fever, the key therapeutic principle of which is established according to syndromes. Allowing analysis that does not rigidly adhere to either established modern diagnosis or traditional Chinese syndromes, prominent achievements could be made in treating high-grade fever by summarizing the regular presenting patterns in terms of the constitution and symptoms.

Ectopic human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) is an autocrine hormone expressed by most malignant tumor cells. Increasing data recently showed that the expression pattern and biological properties of ectopic hCG was significantly different from that of the normal hCG secreted by trophoblastic cells. Evidence from different research groups strongly indicated that there was a direct relationship between the expression of ectopic hCG and the development of malignant tumor. Ectopic hCG may play a key role in regulation of tumor growth,metastasis and immune tolerance versus malignant tumor. The advances in the research of the molecular biologic characteristics and functions of ectopic hCG are reviewed and evaluated. [

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the pharmacokinetic profiles of baicalin(a constituent in Sanhuang decoction) in rats.METHODS:Blood samples were collected as schedule from rats after intragastrically administration of Sanhuang decoction, then the content of baicalin was determined by HPLC and the chief pharmacokinetic parameters were computed.RE SU1TS:The chief pharmacokinetic parameters of baicalin in rats were as follows:t_(max1)=(15?4.23) min;t_(max2)=(6.8?0.54) h;C_(max1) =(4.49?1.56)?g?mL~(-1);C_(max2)=(3.25?1.23)?g?mL~(-1);AUC =(35.52?12.35)?g?h?mL ~(-1);t_(12)=(5.12?0.23)h;CL=(3.86?0.91) 1?h~(-1).CONCLUSION:The method is simple in sample treatment,rapid and accurate,specific and sensitive,and it can be used as a means for the monitoring of the serum concentration of baicalin containing Chinese patent medicines and so as to provide reference for clinical rational drug use.

Objective To investigate treatment effect of prednisone to withdrawal headache in patients with medication overuse headache (MOH). Methods From June 2009 to June 2013, 96 patients with MOH were chosen as study objective for the randomized double-blind and placebo controlled study.All patients were divided into 2 groups: 48 in study group ( treated with prednisone, 100 mg/d ) and 48 in control group (treated with placebo, 100 mg/d).The clinical features of two groups were compared.After treatment, the primary endpoints, secondary endpoints , further results and the use of analgesics were compared.Results Before treatment, the age, sex gender,primary diagnosis, duration and frequency of headache, medicine had no statistical difference between two group.After treatment, the duration of headache and the rate of drug rescue had no statistical difference between two groups.The rate of withdraw symptoms had no statistical difference between two groups.The use of analgesics was less in study group than that in control group, the difference had statistical significance (P<0.05).Conclusion During withdrawal in MOH, prednisone reduces rescue medication without decreasing the severity and duration of withdrawal headache.

Although the symptom of stable bronchiectasis is not significant, the four pathological factors including qi stagnation, sputum obstruction, blood stasis and lung-spleen qi vacuity still exist inside patients' bodies, making them in the state of both healthy and ill. This article discussed the application of the idea of preventive treatment to intervene and treat, which could prevent the emergence of new diseases and the changing of existing diseases. It could prevent vacuity evil and bandit wind, depressed qi transforming into fire, phlegm depressed in the lung and channel obstruction caused by long-term diseases. It can effectively prevent the acute attack of bronchiectasis and improve the patients' lung function and life quality.
