Epigenetic modification, which involve DNA methylation, RNA-associated silencing and histone modification, is implicated in cell proliferation, differentiation, survival, apoptosis and malignant transformation. Some leukemogenesis has been shown to be aberrance of epigenetic modification. This paper discussed the potential causes of some of leukemias correlating with the methylation of cell cycle regulation genes, small interference RNA and modification abnormality of histone after translation. The study on epigenetic modification abnormality of leukemia cells provides a new strategy for treatment of leukemia.

Objective]To investigate academic thoughts of Prof. Yan Dexin in spleen and stomach syndrome treatment.[Methods]The paper summarized the academic origin, academic thoughts as well as practical treatment cases of Prof. Yan Dexin ’s spleen and stomach syndrome treatment theory. [Results]The main points of Prof. Yan’s academic thought on spleen and stomach therapy has succeeded and developed the therapy of Menghe physician, which includes an emphasis on spleen Qi rise and stomach Yin drop, Qi of spleen and stomach regulation, special attention on the function of the stomach-yang and spleen-yin, an advocation ofspleen leading four organs, and therapy design from spleen with an ingenious use of atractylodes rhizome, Atractylodes and Zhizhu pill. [Conclusion] Professor Yan Dexin developed his unique theoretical system in spleen-stomach diseases therapy on basis of the experiences of spleen and stomach disease treatment from ancient physicians, which is instructive for later physicians.

Posterior circulation iscbemia refers to the transient iscbemic attack and the cerebral infarction in vertebrobasilar artery system,its prognosis is not as good as anterior circulation ischemia,and its treatment is similar to that of anterior circulation ischemia.However,because of the mortality of basilar artery occlusion is higher,usually more aggressive treatment should be considered,such as thromholytic therapy(especially intra-arterial thromholysis)and endovas- cular therapy,and the therapeutic time window is much longer.This article reviews the treatment of anterior circulation ischemia.

Equity of the essential medicine system involves social justice,being important in health services availability equity.The essential medicine system,in practice in China,has to a certain extent improved the equity of health service availability,yet found with poor equity in the process due to differences in insurance,regional diversity,pricing of essential medicine,and poor implementation of the system at primary medical institutions.Such equity needs to be further improved in the future in such aspects,consistence of different insurance reimbursement percentages,further support to underdeveloped areas,encouragement of market competition,and better compliance of primary medical institutions in implementing the system.

Xiao Zhi Ling Injection is a Chinese herbal aqueous solution of praeparatum which is mainly made of gallnut and alum, it can make a " strengthening body resistance " treatment in polytype tumors, mainly through promoting apoptosis of tumor cells, destructing tumor cells, inhibiting tumor growth, enhan-cing immunity of organism and so on, the clinical effect is certain, with the development of theory and tech-nology in tumor molecular biology, it has become the core of future research that how to further explore Xiao-Zhi-Ling injection to promote tumor cell apoptosis by impacting on related genes, and its lucubrate inevitably provide new hope in gene therapy of cancer.

AIM: To investigate the difference of cognitive impairment and depression between age-related macular degeneration ( AMD ) group and the control group patients. ·METHODS: A prospective case-control study was performed from November 2014 to August 2016 in the hospital for AMD patients and sex-matched control group. The Mini-Mental State Examination ( MMSE) and the Geriatric Depression Scale ( GDS ) score of each patient were collected for statistical analyzing. ·RESULTS: There were total 84 cases ( 168 eyes ) included in the study. The difference of visual acuity between the two group was statistically significant ( F=8. 953, P=0. 004) by baseline data analyzing. There were no significant differences in MMSE scores between the two groups according to educational status ( P>0. 05 ) , while the prevalence of cognitive impairment in each group was statistically significant (x2 =4. 14, P=0. 042). The difference of GDS scores, prevalence of total and mild depression between two groups were both statistically significant (F=5. 852, P=0. 018; x2=6. 372, P=0. 012; x2 = 5. 674, P = 0. 017 ). However, there was no statistically significant difference in the prevalence of moderate to severe depression (x2=0. 672, P=0. 412). ·CONCLUSION: AMD patients have a higher prevalence of depression. Although MMSE score differences were not statistically significant in subgroup analysis by educational levels, AMD patients are more likely to have cognitive impairment overall.
