1.The spread and influence of YunQi theory of TCM in Japan
International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2009;31(2):111-112
With the frequent culture communication between china and Japan, YanQi theory of TCM spread to Japan and exerted an influence on Japanese medicine. From the volume of"YunQi" in "The literature investigation of TCM", we can tell YunQi theory occupied a major position in the Japanese medical literatures which spread from china. The primary books of YunQi edited by Japanese scholars reveal Japanese doctors are apt to use this theory to promote their clinical practice. The accordant cognition of Chinese and Japanese scholars is that Japanese doctors accept the value of YunQi theory and beware of it's deficiency in clinic.

Objective To investigate the changes in small-diameter sensory neuron (SNS)/ peripheral nerve type 3(PN3) Na+ channel transcript and in tetrodotoxin-resistant (TTX-R) Na+ current in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons in a chronic constriction injury (CCI) model of neuropathic pain. Methods Eighteen rats were divided into 6 groups of 3 animals each. Chronic constriction injury model was established after Dib-Hajj et al. Pain threshold was significantly lowered after CCI as compared with that in control group. The animals were deeply anesthetized and rapidly decapitated 14 days after surgery. The L4-5 DRG of the operated side was removed and crushed and total RNA was extracted with trizol reagent. The DRG of the contralateral side was used as control. The change in SNS/PN3 Na + channel expression was determined by semi-reverse transcriptase-PCR. The DRG neurons were isolated enzymatically and the change in voltage-gated TTX-R Na+ current was recorded using whole-cell patch clamp technique. Results Sensory neuron specific TTX-R Na+ channel transcript SNS/PN3 was down-regulated by 60% 14 days after CCI as compared with that in control group. TTX-R Na+ current density was significantly reduced but its activation and steady state inactivation were unchanged. Conclusions Na+ channel SNS/PN3 is involved in the hyperextability of the primary sensory neurons after CCI.

BACKGROUND:One-lung ventilation is wildly applied in cardiothoracic surgery including general surgery and lung transplantation surgery.There have been much more researches of one-lung ventilation in recent years.OBJECTIVE:To analyze and conclude the research progress of one-lung ventilation with a view to improve the effectiveness of one-lung ventilation and reduce complications during and after one-lung ventilation.RETRIEVAL STRATEGY:A computer-based search of Medline was undertaken to identify the articles about one-lung ventilation published from January 1980 to October 2007 with the keywords "one-lung ventilation,hypoxemia,lung transplantation",and the language was limited to English.Chinese articles about one-lung ventilation punished from January 2000 to October 2007 were searched in China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),with the keywords "one-lung ventilation,hypoxemia,lung transplantation" and the language was limited to Chinese.The materials were selected firstly and full texts were searched.Inclusion criteria:①the basic and clinical study on one-lung ventilation;②the clinical study on anesthesia of lung transplantation.Exclusion criteria:①repetitive study;②reviews.Over 300 articles on one-lung ventilation were collected,in which 28 were accordant with inclusion criteria.LITERATURE EVALUATION:Of the 28 articles,15 were about the study of the management during one-lung ventilation,and 13 were the hypoxemia study of one-lung ventilation.DATA SYNTHESIS:After the selected literatures were analyzed and arranged,the management of one-lung ventilation including the selection of ventilation mode,the settings of tidal volume and respiratory frequency,fraction of inspired oxygen,fluid management was analyzed.Hypoxemia is the biggest challenge during one-lung ventilation.We may improve arterial oxygenation and reduce the occurrence of hypoxemia by various ways.However,the management of one-lung ventilation is still controversial and needs further study.CONCLUSION:With the study on the management of one-lung ventilation and the handling of common matters deepens continuously,the application of one-lung ventilation will be more widespread and more safe.
5.Paying attention to the research on dry age-related macular degeneration
Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2012;30(7):577-580
Dry age-related macular degeneration(AMD)is a prevalent form of irreversible blindness worldwide in the elderly population with an increasing incidence in China.It is found that some dry AMD will develop to wet AMD and therefore damage visual function.Pathogenesis of AMD is below understand now,but it is thought to be related to the light-induced ocular damage,oxidative stress response,extracellular disposition and immunology.Up to now,effective and safe prevention and treatment methods of AMD are still studying,especially wet AMD,but the concern on dry AMD is not enough.Some basic and clinical pharmaceutics researches on AMD include antioxidants,anti-extracellular disposition drugs and anti-inflammatory agents.With the rise of aging population,we should pay special attention to the research on pathogenesis,diagnosis and treatment of dry AMD.
