Based on the thought of Zhishen (a kind of mind regulation), Professor SHI Xue-min, academician of the China Academy of Engineering, found the Xingnao Kaiqiao (to refresh the mind and to cause resuscitation) acupuncture method, which still plays an important role in the acupuncture treatment of wind stroke nowadays. Meanwhile, great importance is attached to the comprehensive treatment of wind stroke. Danqi Piantan capsule (see text) is developed and "wind stroke unit" is set up. In recent years, Professor SHI shifts the center of research to the treatment of hypertension, the risk factor of wind stroke. Taking Renying (ST 9) as the major acupoint, acupuncture with standard measurement and manipulations is established. And good clinical effect has been obtained as well. Therefore, this article focuses on the introduction of Professor SHI Xue-min's contribution to wind stroke treatment.

Chinese meteria medica (CMM) chain is a long-span chain covering agriculture which mainly depends on the forces of nature as well as high-tech CMM industry, CMM expertise industry and fast developing CMM circulation industry. Imbalance among the development of these industries produces bottlenecks and hinders the operation of the entire production chain. After analyzing the structure of Chinese meteria medica industrial chain from the perspective of national economy industry, three industry classifications and differentiation of factor intensity, we conclude that the complex structure of CMM industry chain is attributable to these three aspects. And the complexity is mainly shown at complex industry, varied product types, different coordination of various industrial sections and different technical growth speed of varied industry. We propose that structural complexity is the natural property of the chain, which is the main reason of industry sector development imbalance and bottleneck. Results of this research could provide theoretical analysis for future research on the coordination of industrial chain and the efficiency of resource allocation.

Objective To investigate costimulatory pathway of breast cancer patients, we examined peripheral CD28 positive T lymphocytes and B7 molecules expression on the primary breast cancer cells in patients with breast cancer. MethodsFlow cytometry was used to analyze CD28 and B7 molecules expressed on T lymphocytes and primary breast cancer cells respectively. Results CD28 positive T lymphocytes in breast cancer patients was lower than that in control group (t=2.879,P

Objective: To rapidly identify the chemical components in a traditional Chinese herb Xiaochaihu decoction by high performance liquid chromatography-time of flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-TOF/MS). Methods: An Agilent ZORBAX SB-C 18 column (100 mmX3.0 mm,3.5 μm) was used for rapid separation and identification of chemical components in Xiaochaihu decoction, with a mobile phase of methanol and 0.1% formic acid aqueous solvent in gradient elution. The flow rate was 0.6 ml/min and the injection volume was 4 μl. The detector was time-of-flight mass spectrometer with an ESI ion source. Scanning mass range was m/z 200-1 500. Results: Thirty-eight chemical compounds were identified from Xiaochaihu decoction in one run. Conclusion: Thirty-eight chemical compounds have been identified in Xiaochaihu decoction by HPLC-TOF/MS in one run, which paves a way for further understanding the metabolism and mechanism of the chemical compounds in Xiaochaihu decoction.

ObjectiveTo determine optimal positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) in mechanical ventilation in children with severe asthmatoid disease based on the quasistatic pressure-volume (P-V) curve.MethodsA serf-control study was done on 23 children with severe asthmatoid disease in the pediatric intensive care unit( PICU ).Quasistatic lung P-V curve of these patients was analyzed and the lower inflection point (LIP) from P-V curve was determined.Three different PEEP (0 cm H2O,LIP,LIP+2 cm H2O,1 mm H2O =0.098 kPa) were given to the patients.The effects of PEEP at different levels on gas exchange,hemodynamic and airway pressure were observed.ResultsThe quasistatic LIP were (2.70 ±2.00)cm H2O.When PEEP was increased to the level of LIP + 2 cm H2O,PaO2 / FiO2 and lung compliance improved significantly (P ＜ 0.01 ) and dynamic lung compliance was the highest,peak inspiratory pressure was (22.30 ± 3.00) cm H2O and mean airway pressure was( 14.11 ± 1.01 ) cm H2O,without obvious adverse effects on mean arterial blood pressure and heart rate.There was no difference in PaCO2,when compared PEEP =0 cmH2O to PEEP =LIP + 2 cmH2O.ConclusionThe application of PEEP is safe.LIP + 2 cm H2O from quasistatic P-V curve could be set as the optimal PEEP under which mechanical ventilation has the best efficacy and do not aggravate CO2 retention and abnormality of hemodynamics in children with severe asthmatoid disease.

Objective To investigate the effect of gravity and lung volume on MR perfusion imaging of human lung using an arterial spin labeling sequence called flow sensitive alternating inversion recovery(FAIR).MethodsMagnetic resonance imaging of lung perfusion was performed in supine position in ten healthy volunteers on a 1.5 T whole body scanner(GE medical system).Five sequentially coronal slices with the gap of 3cm from dorsal to ventral(labeled as P3,P6,P9,P12,P15,respeectivly)were obtained on end respiration and the relative pulmonary blood flow(rPBF)was measured.Another coronal perfusion-weighted image of P3 slice was obtained on end inspiration.Tagging efficiency of pulmonary parenchyma with IR(⊿SI%),the rPBF and area of the P3 slice were analyzed.respectively.Paired Student's t test was used for statistical analysis.Results(1)In the direction of gravity,an increase in rPBF of the gravity-dependent lung was found.rPBF of right lung from dorsal to ventral were 100.57±18.22,79.57±12.36,61.65±11.15,48.92±9.96,41.20±9.88,respectively；and that of left lung were 106.61±26.99,78.89±11.98,64.00±13.64,51.27±8.95,43.04±12.18.No statistical differences between P12 and P15,there were significant statistic differences of any other two coronal planes.But along an isogravitational plane,no statistical difference was observed.Regression coefficients of right and left lung were -4.98 and -5.16,respectively.This means the rPBF of right lung falls by 4.98 for each centimeter above the dorsal and that of left lung falls by 5.16.(2)For(⊿)SI%,rPBF and area,there were significant statistic differences at different respiratory phases(P＜0.05).(⊿)SI%,rPBF,area at expiration phase vs.inspiration phase were 1.12±0.31 vs 0.71±0.18,90.78±17.35 vs 52.85±8.75,(12.59±3.23)×103mm2 vs (17.77±4.24)×103mm2 for right lung;and 1.01±0.24 vs 0.70±0.11,91.08±18.68 vs 54.58±10.70,(12.34±3.08)×103mm2 vs(17.34±4.98)×103mm2 for left lung.Greater (⊿)SI%and increased perfusion were observed on end expiration than on end inspiration.The area was larger on end inspiration than on end expiration.ConclusionsThe FAIR is sensitive to perfusion changes in the gravity-dependent lung.Pulmonary blood flow is less in a state of high lung inflation than in a low state(inspiration vs.expiration).Positioning the patient so that the area of interest is down-gravity and breath-hold on end expiration may improve visibility of perfusion defects.
