The constitutional medical thoughts in Inner Canon of Huangdi is the foundation for TCM constitution theory, it discusses the influence of constitution on disease in detail. Constitution factors determine the disease onset or not; Constitution factors determine the tendency and character of disease. Constitution factors effect the changes of pathogenesis, the character of syndrome, the therapeutic principle and methods; Constitution factors effect the turnover and prognosis. Constitution therapies are profit to correct the partial body, preventing the development of disease and heal the disease.

Objective: To investigate the significance of laminin(LN) and laminin receptor(LN-R) in the proceeding and prognosis of hydatidiform mole.Methods: Immunohistochemical SP staining was used to detect the expression of LN and LN-R in 41 hydatidiform mole cases(13 cases were learned to have turned malignant by following up).20 cases of normal early gestational chorion were detected as control.Results: The strong positive rates of LN and LN-R in normal chorion,hydatidiform mole un-malignant group and malignant group were respectively 90.0%(18/20),71.4%(20/28),38.5%(5/13),and 70.0%(14/20),71.4%(20/28),84.6%(11/13).The strong expression of LN had a significant difference between malignant group and the other 2 groups(P

BACKGROUND:Because it can reduce the risk of postoperative bone cement leakage, percutaneous kyphoplasty is increasingly used for treatment of severe osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral compression fractures. Studies have found that injection of mixed bone cement with high viscosity can significantly reduce the leakage of bone cement. OBJECTIVE:To compare the therapeutic efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty with high viscosity bone cement and percutaneous kyphoplasty with standard viscosity bone cement in the treatment of severe osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral compression fractures. METHODS:Eighty patients with severe osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral compression fractures were enroled and randomized into vertebroplasty group and kyphoplasty group, 40 patients in each group. Visual analog scale score and Oswestry disability index score were compared between groups before and after treatment. Incidence rate of bone cement leakage and other complications were also compared between two groups after treatment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:No significant difference was found between the visual analog scale scores of two groups after treatment (P> 0.05). Patients in the two groups al presented with good recovery of spinal function after treatment, and there was no difference in the Oswestry disability index scores between groups at 3 months after treatment (P> 0.05). The incidence rate of bone cement leakage was 45% in the vertebroplasty group and 30% in the kyphoplasty group, with a significant difference (P < 0.05). But the patients in both groups showed no obvious clinical symptoms and underwent no treatment. After treatment, al patients had no pulmonary embolism, bone cement toxicity, spinal cord and nerve root injury. These findings show that there is no significant difference between percutaneous vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty with high-viscosity bone cement in the folowing aspects: pain improvement, recovery of the spinal function, incidence rate of bone cement leakage and clinical efficacy.

Objective To explore the etiology of abdominia incision hernia and treatments of giant incisional hernia of abdominal wall. Methods 14 cases with AGIH treated in our hospital from Oct 2003 to May 2008 were analyzed retrospectively. Results The etiology of abdominia incision hernia were very important,and abdominal longitudinal incision was performed, 10 cases ＞ 67y among 14 cases with incision hernia were 71.42%. Infection of incision and essential conditions( diabetes, chronic cough ,hypoalbum inemia)were also easily induced of incisional hernia. All of them chose the marlex patch. The cases were all cured and no serious postoperative complications. None of cases recurred during a follow up of 3 to 56 months. Conclusion The etiology of AGIH related with longitudinal incision,old ( ＞ 60y)and essential conditions. AGIH were repained with polypropylene mesh. Essential conditions should be treated before operation and abdominal wall should be trained comfortablely. Repairing abdominal incision hernial with artifical patch was a safe and simple operation with minimal postoperation pain.

Objective To investigate the application value of intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) in living donor liver transplantation(LDLT). Methods In LDLT, IOUS techniques (gray scale ultrasound and color Doppler flow imaging) were adopted in 26 donors and recipients for parenchymal and vascular examinations. The abnormal sonograms were observed, and the anatomic findings of hepatic veins were recorded. All the reanastomosed blood vessels were examined by gray scale ultrasound and color Doppler flow imaging before the operations were completed. Results A hepatic parenchymatous tumor was revealed by IOUS in one donor. Besides, middle hepatic veins in 13 donors and secondary hepatic veins with diameter﹥0.5 cm in 5 donors were confirmed by IOUS. Furthermore, one operation procedure was changed and one hepatic artery stenosis was established according to IOUS findings. Conclusion IOUS is a very useful means in evaluation of parenchymal and vascular conditions of donors and recipients in LDLT, which helps to select the best cross section and provides evidence for the change of surgical procedures.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and treatment programs in children with Takayasu arteritis (TA) in order to improve awareness of the disease. Methods A retrospective study of hospi-talized children with TA in our hospital from Jan. 1999 to Dec. 2012 was performed. Results Between the 15 patients with TA, the ratio of male to female was 1∶2. The onset was from 14 months to 15 years old, with average age at (10 ±4) years old. It is according to (the European League against Rheumatism/the Pediatric Rheumatology European Society (EULAR/PRES) criteria for the diagnosis of TA. The most common clinical manifestations are hypertension, which occurred in 13 cases(87%), weak pulse or pulseless in 11 cases (73%), and heart failure in 10 cases (67%). About two-thirds of patients were diagnosed when the onset of heart failure occurred. The most common clinical type was type Ⅱ, which occrred in 9 cases (60%). Antihypertensive drugs, oral steroid and congestive heart failure controlling were the main treatment. Three patients with positive purifiedproteinderivative (PPD) test received anti-TB treatment. Three patients had vascular bypass surgery, one patient had percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. Conclusion TA may be life-threatening and progressive. Many patients are with advanced disease at the time of treatment, so the prognosis is generally poor. Early recognition is necessary to initiate appropriate therapy. The disease should be considered in patients with unexplained arterial hypertension or unexplained inflammatory syndromes without local signs.

Placental tissues have many cell types with stem/progenitor cell potential and immunomodulatory properties. Moreover, placental tissue is readily available and easily procured without invasive procedures, and its use does not elicit ethical debate. Thus, placental tissue has been a key focus in studies of searching a new source of human stem/progenitor cells. Most of the research published in this area focuses on mesenchymal stromal cells isolated from various parts of the placenta or epithelial cells isolated from amniotic membrane. Considering the complexity of the placenta, an urgent need exists to define the region of origin and methods of isolation of cells derived from this tissue.

Gastric cancer is a malignant tumor with high incidence and mortality in China.Invasion and metastasis of carcinotissue is one of the main reasons for the death of patients with gastric cancer.The mechanism of gastric cancer invasion and metastasis is very complicated,containing several immunomolecules and genes.Up-or down-regulated expression of these molecules in gastric cancer invasion and metastasis means that these immunomolecules and genes play some important roles in generation and progression of gastric cancer.In this review,we introduced the structure and function of these immunomolecules and genes,and their action during the course of gastric cancer invasion and metastasis.

Objective: To observe the effects of different concentrations of glucose on the expression of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), osteoprotegerin (OPG), and the ligand of osteoprotegerin (OPGL) in osteosarcoma MG63 cells, so as to assess the role of glucose in pathogenesis of diabetic osteoporosis. Methods: MG63 cells were incubated with glucose at the concentrations of 5.5,16.7,33.3 mmol/L for 24 h. The expression of TRAIL, OPG and OPGL mRNA were examined by RT-PCR. Expression and distribution of TRAIL in MG63 cells were investigated by immunohistochemical method. Results: The mRNA expression of TRAIL and OPGL in MG63 cells increased in the order of control group, 5.5,16.7,33.3 mmol/L glucose groups(P<0.05), and the expression of OPG mRNA decreased in the same order(P<0.05). TRAIL mRNA level in 33.3 mmol/L glucose group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(1.004±0.070) vs (0.740±0.023), P<0.05] and the expression of TRAIL was stronger than that in the control group. Conclusion: High concentration of glucose can lead to increased expression of TRAIL and OPGL in osteoblasts and decreased expression of OPG, which may be one of the key pathogenetic factors of diabetic osteoporosis.
