Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of lung-clearing and spleen-strengthening tuina on exogenous cough in children. Methods: A total of 77 children with exogenous cough that met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group according to the random number table, with 39 cases in the treatment group and 38 cases in the control group. The routine lung-clearing manipulation was used in the two groups, while the spleen- strengthening manipulation was added in the treatment group. Both groups were treated once a day, 5 times as a course of treatment. After one course of treatment, the symptom score and clinical efficacy were observed. Results: There were one dropout in the treatment group and 2 dropouts in the control group. Therefore, a total of 74 cases were finally included in the analysis, with 38 cases in the treatment group and 36 cases in the control group. After treatment, there was a statistically significant difference in cough score between the two groups (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the score of poor appetite between the two groups (P<0.05). After treatment, the total effective rate was 89.5％ in the treatment group versus 75.0％ in the control group, showing a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusion: The therapeutic efficacy of lung-clearing spleen-strengthening manipulation is better than that of lung-clearing tuina manipulation alone for children with exogenous cough; regulating spleen and stomach can improve the curative efficacy of exogenous cough in children.

Objective To investigate the short term effect of insulin on proinsulin gene expression of HIT-T15 insu-linnoma cells(pancreatic isletβ-cell). Methods The HIT-T15 cells were randomly divided into four groups.Blank Con-trol Group (LG):complete medium contain 1.4 mmol/L glucose. Control group (LGC):co-cultured nifedipine with medium in order to restain endogenous insulin release. Experimental group (LINS or HINS) add 0.5 U/L insulin or 5 U/L insulin on top of LGC. After being stimulated for 0, 30, 60, 90, 120 mins, proinsulin (PI) mRNA level were assessed by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Insulin receptor substrate1 (IRS1) tyrosine phosphorylation was detected by immunocytochemistry. Results (1) Expression of PI was up regulated by both LINS and HINS, and peak at 60 mins. (2) After stimulation for 30 mins, the level of IRS1 tyrosine phosphorylation in the experimental group was significantly higher than control group, and the peak time be-tween LINS and HINS was different. (3) Between group of LG and LGC, the expression of PI mRNA and IRS1 tyrosine phos-phorylation show no difference. Conclusion Short term exogenous insulin stimulation can promote expression of proinsulin genes,which is concentration dependent. The expression and regulation of PI were related with IRS1 signal transduction.

Objective To investigate DSA- estimated hepatic arterial hemodynamics of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) determined shortly after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) plus sorafenib treatment. Methods The clinical data of thirty HCC patients treated with TACE were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into study group (n = 13) and control group (n = 17). Patients in the study group received additional oral administration of 400mg sorafenib twice a day one week before or two weeks after TACE procedure, while patients in the control group received TACE only. The initial DSA images as well as the images obtained at three months after TACE were analyzed. With the help of Photoshop software, the grey gradient of the tumor staining was measured on the series dynamic DSA images, based on which the time- density curve of the tumor was drawn. The peak density value (PV), the time to reach the peak (TP) and the slope of the upslope (SU) were determined, and the results were compared between the two groups. Results Photoshop software was used to measure the grey density values of the tumor staining on DSA images. In the study group, the post- treatment PV was smaller than the pre- treatment one, which were (38.0 ± 14.6) and (46.7 ± 18.4) respectively, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P = 0.040). The post- treatment PV of the study group was also smaller than that of the post -treatment PV of the control group (54.4 ± 19.8), and the difference between the two was also statistically significant (P = 0.011). No significant differences in TP values and SU values existed between the two groups as well as between the pre - treatment and post - treatment ones in each group. Conclusion After TACE.

Objective To investigate the acute toxicity, subacute toxicity, nasal membrane local toxicity of the Magnolia biondii Pamp volatile oil nanometer bangosome. Methods Kunming mice and SD rats were selected as experimental material. Kunming mice were used in the acute and subacute toxicity tests by intragastric administration of Magnolia biondii Pamp volatile oil nanometer bangosome with different dosage and different time, and SD rats were used in the nasal membrane local toxicity test by nose dropping, while the control group was treated with intragastric administration of or nose dropping with normal saline for the same dosage. The treatment course lasted fifteen days. At the end of the tests, the general condition, routine blood test, function index of live and kidney, organ humid weight index, histological changes of liver and kidney and ultra microstructure change of rat nasal membrane were obtained and compared with the control group. Results In the acute toxicity test, the daily maximum tolerant dosage by intragastric administration was equal to 222.7 times of the clinical routine, with no marked toxic reaction. In the subacute toxicity test, the general condition, blood test, organ humid weight index and histological changes of live and kidney in different dosage groups were similar to the control group. While in the function index of live and kidney, uric acid was stepped down in the middle and large dose groups, and total bilirubin was decreased in the large dose group. The nasal membrane local toxicity test revealed that there was little change in the ultra microstructure of rat nasal membrane.Conclusion The Magnolia biondii Pamp volatile oil nanometer bangosome may have little toxicity by intragastric administration and nose dropping.

Objective: To understand prevention and control of infectious disease among primary schools in Xi’an. Methods: A total of 93 primary schools were selected through multi-stage stratified sampling method from 14 counties in Xi’an, then these schools are surveyed to meaure the classroom ventilation. Results: About 28.0% (26/93) of these schools met the national standard for health staffs, with 7.4%(4/54) in urban primary schools and 56.4% in rural primary schools (22/39), the difference between urban and rural areas is statistically significant(P<0.01). Urban primary schools were better than rural primary schools in morning inspection, registration and tracking for illness, verification of vaccination certificates, surveillance and reporting of epidemic outbreaks, verification of school recovery(P<0.05). The average per capita area among the 92 primary schools was (1.22±0.34) m2, with (1.08±0.26) m2 in urban primary schools and (1.42±0.33) m2 in rural primary schools, the difference between urban and rural areas was statistically significant (P<0.01). The average per capita ventilation area of 92 primary schools was (0.15±0.07) m2 with (0.13±0.04) m2 in urban primary schools and (0.19±0.08) m2 in rural primary schools, the difference between urban and rural areas was statistically significant (P<0.01). Conclusion School-based infectious diseases prevention and control needs to be improved in Xi’an, especially in health personnel.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of Jiangtang Yishen Recipe (JTYSR) on high insulin induced cell proliferation of human glomerular mesangial cells (HMCs) and the expression of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) and phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI-3K).

METHODSHMCs were divided into 4 groups, i.e., the negative control group, the high insulin model group, the JTYSR group, and the LY294002 group. The concentration of insulin, JTYSR, and LY294002 was respectively confirmed by pre-experiment. Different culture solution was respectively added for different groups. RPMI1640 culture solution was added for HMCs in the negative control group, while HMCs in the rest 3 groups were cultured by 100 nmol/L insulin for 24 h. Meanwhile, HMCs from the JTYSR group and the LY294002 group were exposed to 125 mg/L JTYSR and 80 micromol/L LY294002 respectively for further 48 h. The proliferation of HMCs was detected by MTT and flow cytometry. The protein expression of IRS-1 and PI-3K in HMC was detected by immunohistochemical assay and Western blot. Results The proliferation of HMCs induced by high insulin could be significantly lowered, and the protein expression of IRS-1 and PI-3K could be down-regulated in the JTYSR group and the LY294002 group (P <0.01). Compared with the LY294002 group, the protein expression of IRS-1 and PI-3K could be slightly down-regulated in the JTYSR group (P <0.05).

CONCLUSIONJTYSR could lower high insulin induced proliferation of HMCs, and its mechanism might be related to insulin signaling pathway.
