Objective]To expound the essence and method of detoxification in the view of keeping internal balance ,based on Huangdi’s Internal Classic. [Method] From the present social understanding of toxin biased ,and on the basis of collecting and analyzing the materials concerning the record of concept and treatment of eliminating toxin in early medical classic ,eliminating toxin and keeping balance can be taken as a sort of health care idea. [Result] The toxin in body refers to the imbalance of Yin and Yang Qi and blood of human body ,it also may be the cause and new pathological products. This recognition corrects the understanding of contemporary society point ofDetoxification ,and guides people to follow the body's own adjustment mechanism,the function of organs and individual constitution to determine etiologic factors based on differentiation treatment. It will avoid and prevent producing the toxin in accordance withIn order to maintain body balance and adjust yin and yang of body through careful diagnosis said by Huangdi ’s Internal Classic. [Conclusion] That one specific treatment depending on one specific toxin reflects the principles of syndrome differentiation treatment and searching for the primary cause of disease in treatment by exploring Huangdi ’s Internal Classic. And it can make people understand more accurately and profoundly about detoxification and live healthier.

Objective To report the clinical results of the treatment for recurrent immunologic disorders of cornea and conjunctiva by conjunctival resection with amniotic membrane transplantation(AMT). Design A retrospective clinical case series. Participants Five patients 5 eyes with recurrent immunologic disorders of cornea and conjunctiva were enrolled into this study, including 2 eyes of phlytenular keratoconjunctivitis with corneal lesion, 1 eye of nodular episcleritis, 2 eyes of corneoscleral interstitial keratitis. Methods Patients were treated with partial conjunctiva resection and AMT. After operation, steroids and cyclosporin eye-drops were given for 2-3 weeks, and patients were followed up for 6-12 months. Main Outcome Measures Complications and recurrent situations were observed. Results The corneal disease kept quiescent, and the blood vessel subsidized. There were no recurrences during the follow up period in 4 cases. Recurrent signs were noted in one patient at 12 months after surgery. But no recurrence of corneal lesion was noted although the conjunctivitis was severe. Conclusion Local conjunctiva resection combined with AMT is a useful method for recurrent cases of immunologic disorders of cornea and conjunctiva. (Ophthalmol CHN, 2006,15:177-179)

In recent years, a large number of studies have found that central lymph node metastasis of the papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) is significantly related with some risk factors.These high risk factors include age below 45 years old, BRAF gene mutation, vascular epithelial growth factor-C high expression, tumor diameter≥5 mm, multifocal and bilateral tumor, thyroid capsule invasion and so on.These high risk factors involve in disease process, and interact with each other.The studies of the high risk factors can help us to predict the risk of central lymph node metastasis in the patients with PTMC, thus to effectively guide the patients' treatment.

A reusable chronocoulometric adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-aptamer sensor was developed in this work.A short chain of DNA marked as cDNA containing complementary sequence was immobilized on gold electrode based on Au-S self-assembly.The ATP aptamer was hybridized with cDNA.The surface-confined DNA could bind with [Ru(NH3)63+ (RuHex) in the electrolyte via electrostatic interaction.Upon target ATP binding, the aptamer confined onto electrode surface was disassociated from the cDNA oligonucleotides into the solution.Such surface density change of DNA lead to the decrease of chronocoulometric signal for the RuHex which confined on the electrode surface.The chronocoulometric signals showed a linear relationship with logrithm of ATP concentration in the range of 1 nmol/L to 100 μmol/L, and the detection limit of this aptamer sensor could reach 0.5 nmol/L (S/N=3).This aptamer sensor could be regenerated 5 times by simple steps.With this aptamer sensor, the basal level of ATP in the brain cortex micorodialysate was determined to be 19.2±3.7 nmol/L (n=3).

Objective To discuss the relationship between leptin level and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in adolescent patients with polycystic ovary syndrome, and to explore the classification diagnosis method of adolescent PCOS and indicator for clinical monitoring of obese patients. Methods All enrolled adolescent individuals were assigned into four groups: 30 normal adolescent individuals in the control group, 30 simple adolescent obese individuals in the simple obesity group,27 obese adolescent PCOS patients in the obese PCOS group and 14 nonobese adolescent PCOS patients in the nonobese PCOS group. The fasting serum samples were prepared for leptin level measurement and analysis, Results The serum leptin level of in the control group, the simple obesity group, the obese PCOS group and the nonobese PCOS group were ( 19.44 ± 6. 63 ) μg/L vs.(23.09 ±7. 39) μg/L, (42. 99 ±9. 83) μg/L and (31, 92 ±7, 02) μg/L,respectively. Leptin in the obese PCOS group was significantly higher than that in the control group and the simple obese group (t = 2. 903 and 2. 714 respectively,Ps ＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusion Monitoring the serum level of leptin can not only aid the classification of adolescent PCOS patients and guide the treatment, but also can serve as a indicator for therapeutic monitoring of obese adolescent PCOS.

Background and purpose:Gene therapy is a novel approach for the treatment of the patients with breast cancer. One of the effective ways is to direct transgenic expression to specific tissues or tumors with the use of tissue-specific-promoters (TSP). hTERT (human telomerase reverse transcriptase) is highly expressed in many types of cancers including breast cancer. Thus, we hypothesized that the hTERT promoter targeting with gene therapy vectors could be exploited for breast cancer. In this study, we amplified hTERT gene promoter and cloned it into the reporter vector pEGFP and pGL3-Basic. Afterwards, the specific transcription of hTERT promoter in MCF7 cells was evaluated. Methods:hTERT gene minimal promoter was PCR amplified and cloned into the reporter plasmid pEGFP-1 and pGL3-Basic.The constructs pEGFP/TERT and pGL3/TERT were transfected into MCF7 breast cancer cells and HBL100 human epithelial cells, respectively.The expression of EGFP and luciferase were investigated, respectively..Results:pEGFP/TERT and pGL3 /TERT bearing hTERT gene promoter were constructed. The specific expression of EGFP was detected in MCF7 cells while little expression of EGFP was seen in HBL100 cells.In accordance with EGFP, luciferase driven by hTERT also showed specific and high activity in MCF7 cell (RLU/U: 33784), which is 15 times higher than in HBL100 (RLU/U: 2400).Conclusions:The high transcriptional activity of hTERT gene promoter in MCF7 cell indicates its potential utility as a novel candidate for transcriptional targeting of breast cancer.

Background Retinal flatmount of oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) animal models is a useful tool in the study of ischemic retinopathy.The retinas of OIR of rat or mouse pups were small and thick and difficult in operating of conventional preparation and quantitative analysis of retinal flatmounts.Objective This study was to explore an easy and stable operating method of retinal flatmount combined with immunofluorescence staining in rodent.Methods Forty ＜6-hour-old SD rat pups were randomly assigned to OIR model group and normal control group.The pups were raised with nursing mothers in hyperoxia environment (80％) and normal oxygen environment (21％) alternately at a 24-hour interval for 14 days in the OIR model group,and the pups were raised in the room air for 14 days in the normal control group.The eyeballs of the rats were extracted to isolate the retinas intactly.The retinas were stained with glutamine synthetase (GS)-isolectin B4 firstly and then expanded into flatmounted and cut into 4 petals radially.Adobe Photoshop CS3 imaging analysis system was used to match the pictures into entire retinal vascular images and analyzed under the fluorescence microscope.The pixel values of retinal avascular areas and the entire retina were quantified by this system.The percentage of avascular areas to the entire retina was calculated to analyze the severity of non-perfusion areas.The use and care of the animals complied with the Regulations for the Administration of Affair Concerning Experimental Animals by State Science and Technology Commission.Results An intact and smooth retinal flatmount could be obtained by firstly staining method.Ora serrata structure was seen surrounding the whole retina.Strong green fluorescence was exhibited in retinal vessel net with clearly visible vascular branches;while the background fluorescence was weaker.Fully developed blood vessels were displayed in the retinas of the normal control group.Non-capillary areas around the central optic disk and large peripheral avascular areas could be seen in the retinal flatmounts of OIR models.Conclusions The preparation of retinal flatmount is easy and feasible by first immunofluorescence staining for retinal vessels followed by radially cutting of retina.This method of retinal flatmount can ensure the integrity of retinal vascular system and it is available for the observation and evaluation of retinal vascular structure in OIR models.
