Objective To explore the epidemiologic rule of main diseases demonstrated by uneven pulse. Methods With the method of literature analysis, we summarized and analyzed the literatures of the uneven pulse published in recent 20 between the uneven pulse and the palpitation, thoracic stuffiness, hypodynamia, dizziness, and abdominal distension. Conclusion Uneven pulse demonstrates many diseases besides blood stasis syndrome, thus we should determine the disease combined with other clinical symptoms for consideration, but uneven pulse alone.

Objectives To evaluate the efficacy and safety of single-incision versus conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods We searched electronic databases (PubMed,EMBASE,Cochrane Library,Chinese Biomedicine databases) from January 2000 to April 2012.Personal contact with experts in the field of laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed to identify further potentially relevant clinical trials.Randomized controlled trials conducted on single-incision versus conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy were analysed to compare conversion rates,blood loss,operation time,postoperative complications,wound satisfaction score,postoperative pain score and postoperative duration of hospitalization.Data were extracted by two reviewers independently.Statistical analysis was performed by using the RevMan 5.1 software.Results Twelve studies involving 915 patients met the inclusion criteria.When compared with conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC),the singleincision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) group showed no significant difference in conversion rate (OR=0.70,95％CI: 0.13～3.77,P=0.68),postoperative complications (OR=1.13,95％CI:0.72～1.78,P＝0.59) and postoperative pain scores (WMD＝-0.18,95％CI:-0.78～-0.43,P=0.57) . There was a significant increase in operative blood loss (WMD ＝ 1.43,95 ％ CI: 0.09 ～2.78,P＜0.05),increase in operative time (WMD=16.79,95％CI: 9.05～24.52,P＜0.01),but an increase in wound satisfaction score (WMD=1.28,95％CI..1.09～1.47,P＜0.01).The postoperative duration of hospitalization was significantly shorter (WMD =-0.30,95％ CI:-0.58 ～-0.02,P＜0.05).Conclusions Current evidence suggests that there is no significant difference in conversion rate or postoperative complications between SILC and LC.Although SILC requires a longer operative time and there is more blood loss when compared with LC,the SILC is superior in wound satisfaction score and in duration of hospitalization.

Objective To cultivate and identify the transgenic affalfa containing Echinococcus granulosus Eg95 gene. Methods The alfalfa plants were transformed by co-cultivating alfalfa cotyledons via recombinant Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404 harboring pBI-Eg95. The transgenic alfalfa explants were selected by kanamyein after calli formation, shoots and roots regeneration in the selective medium, the seedlings of transgenic plants were obtained which were finally transplanted into pots containing nutrient soil. After 2-3 months growth, the complete transgenic alfalfa plants containing Echinococcus granulosus Eg95 gene were obtained. To identify the transgenic alfalfa plants, the total DNA, RNA and leaf protein were extracted from fresh leaf tissue of the transgenic alfalfa plants and confirmed by PCR, RT-PCR, SDS-PAGE and Western blot assay. Results A specific band around 471 bp was amplified by PCR with total DNA, and the same band was obtained by RT-PCR with total RNA, which confirmed that the Eg95 gene was stably integrated into the transformed alfalfa genome. SDS-PAGE analysis showed that the relative molecular mass(Mr) of the expressed protein was about 16.5×103, consistent with the Eg95 protein, and the level of Eg95 expression was up to 0.06% of total soluble leaf protein by Bio-Rad Quantity one assay. Western blot verified the expressed protein was reactive with the sera of mice infected with Echinococcus granulosus. Conclusion The transgenic alfalfa plants containing Echinococcus granulosus Eg95 gene are successfully cultivated.

Several kinds of column chromatography method were used to investigate the chemical constituents of the leaves of Lophatherum gracile. The structures of the isolated compounds were identified based on their physicochemical properties and spectral data. A new flavone C-glycoside was isolated and its structure was identified as 3'-methoxyl-luteolin 6-C-beta-D-galactopyranosiduronic acid (1 --> 2) -alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (1).

Study the serum level of HGF, Cys C and TGF-beta1 in type 2 diabetic nephropathy (DN), the infect of Pingshen decoction on those index. Selected 69 cases of 2 type DN and randomly divided into therapy group (36 cases) and control group (33 cases). The therapy group were treated with Pingshen decoction 1 dose/d, bid po. The control group were treated with NephritisShu tablet, 6 tablet, tid po. 8 weeks was a course. Before and after treatment, we examine the serum level of HGF, Cys C and TGF-beta1 by ELISA and immunonephelometry, and compare with 30 cases of healthy control group. The study demonstrates that before treatment, the serum level of HGF in both groups were significantly lower than healthy control group (P < 0.01), but Cys C, TGF-beta1 were significantly higher (P < 0.01). After treatment, the serum level of HGF of both groups were increased. The serum level of HGF of therapy group were significantly higher than of control group (P < 0.01), but the serum level of Cys C and TGF-beta1 were significantly lower than control group (P < 0.01). The serum level of HGF was correlated negatively with Cys C,TGF-beta1. In control group, the UAER, urine beta2-MG and quantity of 24-hour urine protein were significantly decreased after treatment (P < 0.01). The index of urine of therapy group were significantly lower than control group (P < 0.01). Results indicate that test of serum level of HGF and Cys C,TGF-beta1 of diabetic nephropathy have important clinical significance. Pingshen decoction can effectively intervene in the serum level of HGF and Cys C, TGF-beta1 and index of urine.
