Objective To confirm subject headings which are prepared to be added, deleted and modified in the class of traditional Chinese medicine and related disciplines (TG class) for the new edition of Chinese Traditional Medicine and Materia Medica Subject Headings (CTMMeSH). Methods Compiling principle, word frequency statistics and database retrieval results were considered. Other references, such as MeSH, were also used to help choose subject headings of TG class. Results In TG class, 35 subject headings were planned to be added, such as “medicine, traditional Korean”and“TCM constitution”;35 subject headings were planned to be deleted, such as“medicine, eastern tradition”and“meridians”;19 subject headings were planned to be modified, such as “four-constitution medicine” and “Minority Medicine”. The subject headings of “Minority Medicine”were unified to harmonize the problems of“TCM pharmacy”with other classes of subject terms. Conclusion Subject headings of TG class are chosen based on word frequency statistics. The word form are unified refer to regulation, teaching materials and documents, and should coordinate with subject headings of other classes.

To expound the content of TCM psychology inspection. Through consulting ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign literature, summing up the mental and emotional disorders cases and clinical experience, we can obtain the inspection content of TCM psychology. Inspection includes facial inspection and position inspection. Facial inspection contains rich content, mainly including spirit, eyes, face expression and color. Inspection is one of the diagnostic methods of TCM psychology. It must be used in the process of mental disease diagnosis. Inspection can grasp the real state of the patients.

Objective The effectiveness on the enrichment of nuclear red blood cells(NRBC) in umbilical cord blood by polyvinylidene difluoride membrane was investigated with intervention on membrane ionic channels.Methods NRBC was isolated by the isolation solution with a density of 1.067 g/ml.The rates of the cell enrichment using verapamil and furosemide intervention by discontinuous density centrifugation were examined by flow cytometry.The NRBC that past through PVDF membrane with pore size of 5 ?m were checked and quantified by nested-PCR.Results The optimal centrifugation density was 1.067 g/ml.The mean purity of NRBC after centrifugation was 2.54%,yet the purity after intervention increased to 9.36%(3.7-fold increment).The NRBC passing through PVDF membrane was from 0.83% to 6.15%,with enrichment of 7.4 times.When NRBC was 120 cells/ml,the density of the nested PCR products increased by nearly 4 times after intervention(4.48 vs 17.78).Conclusions Verapamil and furosemide could affect the morphology of cells and promote the rate of NRBC enrichment.

BACKGROUND: Adipocytes are derived from preadipocytes, which are induced by mesenchymal stem cell differentiation. This study explored the mechanism of mesenchymal stem cell differentiation into adipocytes and provided a new thinking for preventing and treating obesity.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the isolation and culture of BMSCs from rabbits in vitro, and the method of differentiating into adipocytes.DESIGN: An observational controlled in vitro experiment.SETTING: Department of Histology and Embryology, Binzhou Medical College, and Yunnan Pharmacological Laboratories of Natural Products.MATERIALS: Totally 12 healthy Japanese rabbits aged 6-8 weeks of 200 to 300g of either sex were provided by Experimental Animal Center of Kunming Medical College. Dexamethasone, 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine and insulin (Sigma, USA) and indomethacin (ALEXIS, USA) were used in this study.METHODS: Experiments were performed at the Yunnan Pharmacological Laboratories of Natural Products between July 2004 and January 2005. BMSCs were harvested from the femurs, tibias and humerus bones of the rabbits, and then purified and proliferated. After primary culture, the subcultured cells were cultured in media including 1μmol/L dexamethasone, 0.5mmol/L 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, 10mg/L insulin and 0.2mmol/L indomethacin. The disposal was accorded with the animal ethical standards.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Growth curve of the third passage of cells was evaluated by modified MTT method. Salmon pink lipid drop appeared after Oil Red O staining under a light microscope.RESULTS: After 72 hours of adipocyte induction, lipid droplet appeared in BMSCs. With the prolongation of induction time, lipid vacuoles were found and cells changed from fusiform to round or polygon. At week 3, approximately 80% BMSCs were induced into adipocytes as detected by Oil Red O.CONCLUSION: Rabbit BMSCs isolated and cultured in vitro can be induced into adipocytes in the media containing 1μmol/L dexamethasone, 0.5mmol/L 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, 10mg/L insulin and 0.2mmol/L indomethacin.

Objective To explore the etiology and epidemiological characteristics of fever and rash syndrome a mong children under the age of five years in Northwest China from 2009 to 2015.Methods Descriptive epidemiological analysis was conducted based on the monitoring data in sentinel hospitals,which was from the information management system of national infectious disease monitoring from 2009 to 2015 in Gansu,Qinghai,Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang.Results The results showed that the major pathogens of fever and rash syndrome among children under the age of five years were enterovirus,measles virus,varicella-zoster virus (VZV) and rubella virus.The major pathogens among children in the age group of 0-years and in the age group of 1-5 years were measles virus and enteroviruses,respectively.Among the positive cases of enterovirus,the positive detectable rates of human enterovirus 71 (EV71) and coxsackie A16 (CA16) were 47.18％ and 45.59％,respectively.The incidences of enterovirus and measles virus infection were mainly concentrated on May to July and March to May,respectively.Conclusions The major pathogens of fever and rash syndrome among children under the age of five years in Northwest china were enterovirus and measles virus with seasonal epidemic characteristics.Therefore,the prevention and control of measles and hand-foot-mouth disease should be strengthened.

Binzhou Medical University began to launch an experimental class of the clinical medical science in 2012 aimed at the undergraduates only.In this class,the ‘centered on the subject’ teaching mode was transformed into the ‘ organ-systems based curriculum’ or ‘ OSBC’ for short.Under the OSBC,the morphology combined the following three subjects:anatomy,hyphology and pathematology into an organic unity.This new subject pays more attention to the relationship among the morphology' s characters,the functional situation and the change of the pathogenesis.A variety of forms such as combining theories with experiments,the case-oriented teaching,translocation type teaching and bilingual teaching are used.To evaluate the students' performance more comprehensively,and to judge the teaching quality more objectively,the formative and summative assessments are used together.The morphology under this new mode is still on its exploration stage.Though with the shortage of corresponding teaching materials and the qualified teachers,it bears fruit and is feasible.

Objective To compare safety and feasibility using radial versus femoral access during cardiac catheterization of patients who had previously undergone coronary artery bypass graft ( CABG) surgery. Methods We retrospectively evaluated 116 consecutive patients who underwent graft intervention via the transradial (TRA group, n = 46) or transfemoral approach (TFA group, n = 70), and observed the baseline clinical characteristics, angiography characteristics and complications between the 2 groups. Results The baseline clinical characteristics between the 2 groups were similar ( all P > 0. 05) . No significant difference was observed in angiography characteristics and procedural parameters including operation time, radiation exposure and puncture time between the 2 groups (all P > 0. 05). There was no significant difference in major adverse cardiac events during hospitalization. PCI to graft vessels were all successful and procedural success rates were similar between the 2 groups (P = 0. 669). Vascular access site complications were significantly lower ( P = 0. 03) in the TRA group. No access site complication was recorded in the TRA group. 7 cases (10. 0% ) with complications were recorded in the TFA group including 1 case of major bleeding (1. 4% ), 3 cases of minor bleeding (4. 3% ), 2 cases of local hematorna (2. 9% ) and 1 case of A-V fistula formation. Conclusions In contrast to the transfemoral route, the rate of major vascular complications was negligible using the transradial approach.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of using artificial tears and eye exercise for intervention of dry eye disease in aircrew members. METHODS: A accidental sampling method was used and 86 patients diagnosed with dry eye disease were selected as study subjects. Artificial tears or artificial tears plus eye exercise were used in patients. Symptoms of dry eye disease were investigated. RESULTS: of break up time( BUT) and schirmer I test( SIT) were recorded.RESULTS: The main symptoms of these 86 aviators diagnosed with dry eye disease were visual fatigue( 82. 6%),dry feeling( 60. 5%),and itchy eyes( 29. 1%). Among them,28 patients( 32. 6%) were treated with artificial tears only( artificial tears group) and 58 patients( 67. 4%) were treated with artificial tears plus eye exercise( combined treatment group). The duration of treatment of less than 4 weeks,4-weeks,and 6-9 weeks were 25,36 and 25 cases,respectively.After treatment,the symptoms improved in 71 patients( 82. 6%). All patients of these two groups showed improved SIT and BUT compared with the same group before treatment( P < 0. 01). There was no significant difference in the change of SIT and BUT between the artificial tears group and the combined treatment group after treatment( P > 0. 05). There was statistical significance in the change of SIT in the main effect of treatment time( P < 0. 01),but no significant difference in the main effect of treatment measures and the interaction effect( P > 0. 05). There was no statistical significance in the change of BUT in the main effect of treatment measures,treatment time and the interaction effect( P > 0. 05).CONCLUSION: The intervention using artificial tears or artificial tears combined with eye exercise improved the subjective symptoms of dry eye disease in aircrew members. The SIT and BUT also improved after intervention.

Objective Previous studies on the association between lipid profiles and chronic kidney disease(CKD)have yielded inconsistent results and no defined thresholds for blood lipids. Methods A prospective cohort study including 32,351 subjects who completed baseline and follow-up surveys over 5 years was conducted.Restricted cubic splines and Cox models were used to examine the association between the lipid profiles and CKD.A regression discontinuity design was used to determine the cutoff value of lipid profiles that was significantly associated with increased the risk of CKD. Results Over a median follow-up time of 2.2(0.5,4.2)years,648(2.00%)subjects developed CKD.The lipid profiles that were significantly and linearly related to CKD included total cholesterol(TC),triglycerides(TG),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),TC/HDL-C,and TG/HDL-C,whereas low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)and LDL-C/HDL-C were nonlinearly correlated with CKD.TC,TG,TC/HDL-C,and TG/HDL-C showed an upward jump at the cutoff value,increasing the risk of CKD by 0.90%,1.50%,2.30%,and 1.60%,respectively,whereas HDL-C showed a downward jump at the cutoff value,reducing this risk by 1.0%.Female and participants with dyslipidemia had a higher risk of CKD,while the cutoff values for the different characteristics of the population were different. Conclusion There was a significant association between lipid profiles and CKD in a prospective cohort from Northwest China,while TG,TC/HDL-C,and TG/HDL-C showed a stronger risk association.The specific cutoff values of lipid profiles may provide a clinical reference for screening or diagnosing CKD risk.
