1.International Standard Terminology on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and CulturalInheritance of TCM: An Analysis on Meridians and Collaterals
International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2009;31(5):412-413
Based on the context of WHO International Standard Terminology on Traditional Medicine in the Western Pacific Region in October, 2007, this paper discusses the international standard of TCM terminology translation on Meridians and Collaterals and proposes some strategies on the cultural inheritance of TCM in its terminology translation.
2.On compensation strategies ofHuangdi-Neijing from the perspective of Bassnett’s cultural translation theory
International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2014;(10):923-926
Translation is a process not only concerning on the language transformation, but also concerning on the cultural communications. However, due to the diversity between cultures, translation loss is a stumbling block which has to be coped with, or a necessary process called translation compensation. This paper, employing the method of text analysis, attempts to compare two English versions ofHuangdi-Neijing by Veith and Li-Zhaoguo as study cases to discuss the translation compensation strategies from the perspective of Bassnett’s cultural translation theory, thus achieving the optimal translation effect.
3.Validity and reliability of the Adolescent Self-rating Life Events Checklist in middle school students
Chinese Mental Health Journal 2015;(5):355-360
Objective:To re-explore and confirm the construct of the Adolescent Self-rating Life Events Checklist (ASLEC),and evaluation the reliability of it among middle school students. Methods:Totally 10 566 ad-olescents,grade 7th to grade 12th,from 10 cities were recruited to complete ASLEC by using stratified randomized cluster-sampling method. The Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D ),Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children (MASC)were selected as the criterion measurements which to examine the association between depression and anxiety with life events. Test-retest reliability were examined by 141 participants random se-lected after 4 weeks. Results:ASLEC including being punished,loss,relationship pressure,learning pressure and a-daption problem after explored factor analysis. The fit indices of confirmatory factor analysis were RMSEA=0. 10, CFI=0. 90,TLI=0. 88,WRMR=4. 96. The correlation coefficients of total scale with ASLEC and total score with CES-D and MASC were 0. 45 and 0. 43. The Cronbach'sαcoefficient of the total scale was 0. 92,the test-retest re-liability was 0. 73,the split-half reliability was 0. 85. The total score decreased apparently compared with the norm of Liu's study (in 1997). Compared to girls,there were significant higher score on punishment and adaption sub-scale,and significant lower score on relationship and learning pressure subscale among boys except the loss factor. Conclusion:A more reasonable new construct consists of 5 factors has been confirmed. The ASLEC has good validity and reliability. The score on total scale and subscales in this study can serve as norm references.
5.Efficacy of limbal stem cell transplantation combined with mitomycin C in pterygium patients with T2 DM
International Eye Science 2015;(1):167-169
Abstract?AlM:To investigate effect and safety of the limbal stem cell transplantation combined with low concentrations of mitomycin C for pterygium patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).? METHODS: Eighty patients of 96 pterygium eyes admitted to hospital were divided into groups of high concentration, low concentration group and the control group, and 3 groups were given pterygium excision combined with limbal stem cell transplantation. The high concentration group, the low concentration groups were given prior to stem cell transplantation 0. 2, 0. 1mg/mL mitomycin C coverage. The cure rate and recurrence rate in three groups of patients, as well as visual acuity before and after treatment were compared.?RESULTS: Three groups patients' visual acuity were significantly improved after treatment (P<0. 05), there was no significant difference before treatment in visual acuity (P>0. 05);epithelial healing time of high concentration group was significantly higher than low concentration group and the control group (P<0. 05), there was no significant difference between low concentration and control groups of epithelial healing time (P>0. 05); cure rates of low concentration group was higher than high dose group, the recurrence rate in low concentration group was lower than the high dose group.? CONCLUSlON: Pterygium excision combined with limbal stem cell transplantation has significant efficacy for pterygium, and mitomycin C can effectively reduce the relapse rate, but for the patients with T2DM concentration of mitomycin C should be reduced.
6.Effect of suramin on trabeculectomy in rabbit
International Eye Science 2015;(4):601-604
AIM:To investigate the effect of suramin concentration changes on trabeculectomy in rabbit, and to provide treatment strategies for glaucoma on the basis of experiment.
METHODS:Thirty-two albino rabbits were randomly divided into four groups, including standard control group, experimental group Ⅰ, experimental group II, and experimental group Ⅲ. Each eye was performed standard trabeculectomy. During surgery, standard control group was given a piece of cotton with 0. 3mg/mL mitomycin C ( MMC ) for 2min, and the other three groups were given a piece of cotton with 0. 3, 0. 4, and 0.5mg/mL suramin respectively for 2min. The filtering blebs and intraocular pressure ( IOP ) were observed at the 3, 7, 15, and 30d after surgery. Some conjunctiral specimen were observed with hitochemicall ( HE staining) and immunohistochemicall methods.
RESULTS:At postoperative 7, 15, and 30d, the changes of the IOP, functional filtering blebs, and the number of positive cell nuclear in experimental group II and experimental group Ⅲ were significantly different compared with those in standard control group and experimental group Ⅰ (all P<0. 05), and the differences between experimental group Ⅰ and standard control group were not significant (P>0. 05). The changes of the IOP and the number of positive cell nuclear in experimental group Ⅲ were significantly different compared with those in experimental group II (P<0. 05), whereas the differences in functional filtering blebs between experimental group Ⅲ and experimental groupII were not significant (P>0. 05). The status of filtering channel in experimental groupII and experimental group
Ⅲ were better than those in experimental group Ⅰ and standard control group.
CONCLUSION: The concentration of suramin has a significantly influence on its effect. When the concentration is 0. 3mg/mL, the antiproliferative effect of suramin is no more than that of MMC. The effect of 0. 4, 0.5mg/mL suramin is better than MMC. 0. 5mg/mL suramin has a better effect on controlling IOP and suppressing the growth of fibroblasts than 0. 4mg/mL suramin.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for approximately 2% of all malignancies. The incidence of RCC has increased by 2% per year for the past 65 years. Over the past two decades, with the widespread use of imaging methods, the frequency of incidental detection of RCC has increased. Surgery is an important therapeutic method for renal cell carcinoma. Originally, nephron-sparing surgery was indicated only for those treated with radical nephrectomy which would render the patients functionally anephric and requiring dialysis. These settings include RCC in a solitary kidney, RCC in one kidney with contralateral inadequate renal fuction, and bilateral synchronous RCC. However, nephron-sparing surgery has been used increasingly in patients with T_(1a) and T_(1b) renal tumors (i.e. up to 7 cm in the greatest dimension) and a normal contralateral kidney, with equivalent outcomes to radical nephrectomy. Compared with radical nephrectomy, nephron-sparing surgery can increase patient survival and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. However, nephron-sparing surgery has not been widely used yet because most surgeons are confused of its safety, indication, resection range and complications.
