Comparison between the two group patients, found that after treatment and after treatment in March DAS-28 patients with score more similar between the two groups has no statistical significance( P>0.05 or higher). In six months after the treatment, the treatment way of DAS-28 score<2.6 points in 29 cases, 19 cases in the control group patients DAS-28 score<2.6 points, the long-term clinical curative effect comparison of two groups of patients, the difference was statistically significant(χ2=4.53,P=0.033<0.05), long curative effect in clinical treatment group was better than the control group. The treatment group adverse reactions occurred in 2 cases, control group for 9 cases, two groups of comparisons difference statistically significant(χ2=5.49,P=0.019<0.05), treatment group security was better than the control group. [Conclusion] Acupoint catgut embedding therapy can improve clinical symptoms in patients with RA, and the forward curative effect and adverse reactions were superior to drug therapy, providing more choices for clinical treatment of RA.

Objective A pronunciation aid device had been made by using dental prosthodontic method for the treatment of pronunciation disorder, which is caused by movement dysfunction because of defect of soft palate tissues in cleft lip and palate patients.Methods According to the defect condition in the mouth, two types of pronunciation aid devices had been produced regularly by using maxillary impression, plaster casting and thermoplastic resin materials and so on. Results In the first group of cases, after 3 patients were wearing soft palate movement pronunciation aid device, and then they were given pronunciation training, it is found that their language clearances degrees had been promoted obviously. In the second group of cases, 2 patients were wearing naso-pharynx cavity closing pronunciation aid device, it is found that their nasal sound and nasal leakage were disappeared. And in the same time we gave patients pronunciation training, and after one year, their language clearances degrees were found to be more obviously increased than before.Conclusions Naso-pharynx cavity closing pronunciation aid device and soft palate movement pronunciation aid device are an effective non-surgical treatment methods for the treatment of naso-pharynx cavity closing dysfunction and soft palate movement dysfunction.

AIM: To optimize the method of extracion and isolation for anthraquinone component from rhubarb for increasing the extraction rate and purity. METHODS: Rhubarb was extracted 4 times in the refluxing method with ethanol. The borate buffer solution was used as extracted fluid. Rhein, rheum emodin and chrysophanol could be obtained by Deltar 4 000 high-pressure making system, and the pure product obtained by recrystallizing with acetone. The YWG C 18 column was (4.6?250) mm, the flow rate 1.0 ml. min -1, and UV detection wavelength 254 nm. Methanol, water and acid perchloride were taken as mobile phase with the ratio of 910.01. RESULTS: Deltar 4000 high-pressure making system could be used to isolate the anthraquinone component from rhubarb, the purity of rhein, rheum emodin and chrysophanol was more than 80%, and the ertraction rate of rheum emodin reached 0.6%. CONCLUSION: The extraction of the anthraquinone component is simple and cheap with ethanol from rhubarb, and the extraction rate is high. Deltar 4000 high pressure making system can be used to isolate the anthraquinone component from rhubarb with a high the extraction rate and purity.

The rapid advances over the past decades in molecular biology led to new ideas and methods to investigate the mechanism of depression, which enlarged the views of fields from neurological transmitters and related receptors to post-receptor signal transduction levels. It not only help to elucidate the pathogenesis of depression, but also offer beneficial evidence for development of new antidepressants. This paper reviews the development of molecular biological study in depression.

Mitochondria ATP synthase is a key enzyme in cellular energy interconversion. It is generally believed that ATP synthase is strictly confined to mitochondria. However, it has been demonstrated that ATP synthase also occurs on the extracellular surface of vascular endothelial cells, tumor cells and adipocytes, instead of normal cells. Based on this characteristic, many functional researches have been conducted on the angiogenesis, tumor inhibition and lipid metabolism, and the mechanism on which this enzyme works has been preliminarily elucidated. The research advances in cell-surface ATP synthase are reviewed in this paper.

Objective:To study the clinical value of peripheral blood Runx3 gene CpG island's methylation in the evaluation of colon cancer's disease condition and prognosis.Methods:Methy1ation specific PCR was used to detect the Runx3 gene CpG island's methylation by Peripheral blood in colon cancer patient (observation group) and healthy people (control group).The Runx3 gene CpG island's methylation rates in different clinicopathological factors were compared.The 3 year survival rate and total survival time between patient with Runx3 gene CpG island's methylation and unmethylation were Compared.Result:The Runx3 gene CpG island's methylation rate in observation group was significantly higher than in control group (P＜0.05).The Runx3 gene CpG island's methylation rates in degree of differentiation,maximum tumor diameter,lymph node metastasis,distant metastasis,TNM staging and surgical resection were significant different (P＜0.05).The 3 year survival rate and total survival time in patient with Runx3 gene CpG island's methylation were significantly higher than in patient with Runx3 gene CpG island's unmethylation.Conclusion:Runx3 gene CpG island is hypermethylated in colon cancer's peripheral blood,which has value in the evaluation of colon cancer's disease condition and prognosis.

Young faculty are an essential part of a university's strength and is important for its sustainable development.And their scientific research capability is associated with the long-term development of the university.At present,there are 4 major problems with the development of young faculty's research capabilities,which include their relatively single academic knowledge structure,insufficient experience in writing proposals,insufficient opportunities for academic exchange,and inequity in resource allocation.Establishing a training mechanism may help solve some of the problems and promot their development.The research management department of a university must abandon erroneous traditional management concepts,provide research training seminars,develop a new mechanism to stimulate academic exchange,design a system for short-term laboratory rotations,and promote the participation of your faculty in major research projects.These may bring about marked improvement in the improvement of young faculty's research capabilities.
