Several important issues about internal strength massage and Shaolin Internal Qigong were discussed in this article, which verified the following aspects:Shaolin Internal Qigong was written into the massage textbook formally in 1960; Special material Shaolin Internal Qigong was first proposed in 1963; Internal strength massage schools were first proposed in 1979's National Massage Symposium. The author holds that Shaolin Internal Qigong is not the Kungfu from Shaolin Temple, and it has nothing to do with Dharma; Shaolin Internal Qigong of Massage exercises belongs to external Gong, the internal Qigong content of Xingqi Neishi need to be excavated; The method of stick-beating with mulberry stick of Internal Strength Massage is closely related to the patting method of Yi Jin Jing school in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and Zhen Ting method ofThe Golden Mirror of Medicine.

Aim To study the effects of 2 ,3 ,4 ’ ,5-tet-rahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-D glucoside ( TSG ) on myo-cardial fibrosis ( MF) induced by isoproterenol ( ISO) in mice and its possible mechanism. Methods MF in mice was induced by subcutaneous injection of isoprot-erenol for 14 days. TSG (30,60,120 mg·kg-1 ) and captopril ( 40 mg · kg-1 ) were then administered by gavage to mice. The experiment was stopped 12 h after the last administration of the drugs. Hematoxylin-eosin ( HE) and Masson staining were used to estimate the extent of MF. Level of hydroxyproline in myocardial tissues was measured. Protein expressions of collagenⅠ, collagen Ⅲ and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) in myocardial tissues were measured. Lev-els of superoxide dismutase ( SOD ) and glutathione peroxidase ( GSH-Px ) were determined. Results Compared with control mice, the level of hydroxypro-line in myocardial tissues was significantly increased in isoproterenol treated mice. Histological sections of iso-proterenol-treated hearts showed extensive myocardial fibrosis. And protein expressions of collagenⅠand col-lagen Ⅲwere markedly increased in isoproterenol trea-ted mice. However, therapy with TSG decreased the level of hydroxyproline in myocardial tissues, ameliora-ted the degree of myocardial fibrosis, and reduced the collagen expressions induced by isoproterenol adminis-tration. Moreover, treatment with TSG decreased TGF-β1 protein expression and elevated the myocardial SOD and GSH-Px activity. Conclusion TSG can inhibit MF formation induced by ISO in mice which might be due to regulating TGF-β1 protein expression and its an-tioxidant effect.

OBJECTIVE: lo discuss the inmtluence of different thyroidectomy on perioperative blood calcium concentration. METHOD: Total number of patients was 240. These patients of thyroid tumors were recruited. Clinical and follow-up datum were retrospective analyzed. RESULT: Patients were divided into four groups by different operative methods. Group one was patients taken one-side thyroidectomy, group two taken one-side lymph node dissection plus, group three taken two-sides thyroidectomy,and group four taken one or two sides lymph node dissection plus. Group two was easier to become hypocalcemia and their calcium concentration decreased more remarkably, compared with group one. Patients taken two-sides thyroidectomy had the familiar outcome. CONCLUSION Patients taken lymph node dissection were easier to become hypocalcemia, compared with patients only taken thyroidectomy.

The object of this study is to preparate the berberine hydrochloride (BBH) resin compound with taste masking effect. We took the BBH as the model drug and Amberlite IRP69 as the drug carriers, uncovered the curve of solubility of BBH in different cosolvent with a certain range of temperature, and then used it to calculate the parameters during the preparation of the complex such as adding quantity of BBH and the reaction temperature. Afterwards, the characteristic and in vitro release experiments were studied to verify the formation and predict the in vivo release behavior of the complex. The results showed that in the condition of using 60% ethanol as a cosolvent and stirring at 50 ℃ for 1 h, the drug loading and drug availability of the complex are at about 35% and 64%, respectively, and has a better taste-masking effect. In this study, a method was provided for preparing a taste-masking preparation of BBH.

9.9Log10 bacteriophage R 17 Conclusion Alkylation of the phenothiazine ring increased the potential of inactivating virus and decreased the damage to red blood cells? M007 might be an alternative phenothiazine dye that can be used to inactivate viruses in red blood cells?

OBJECTIVETo compare the protein profiles between decapeptide-treated and untreated planktonic cells of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) by differential proteomic analysis to determine and identify the key proteins.

METHODSIn our previous study, we investigated decapeptide (KKVVFKVKFK-NH2), which was a novel adenosine monophosphate. Compared with other oral pathogens tested, decapeptide had a preferential antibacterial activity against S. mutans. It also inhibited S. mutans biofilm formation and reduced the one-day developed biofilm. In the present study, we first synthesized decapeptide, and then compared the protein profiles between decapeptide-treated and untreated planktonic cells of S. mutans by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. We also verified different expressions of key protein enolase in the protein level.

RESULTSThe results showed that decapeptide altered the protein expression of planktonic S. mutans. These proteins were functionally involved in carbohydrate degradation by glycolysis, protein folding, conjunction, transport, translation, adenosine triphosphate binding, protein binding, sequence-specific DNA binding, transcription factor activity, and two-component response regulator activity. Western blot results showed that enolase protein expression decreased obviously in decapeptide-treated cells of S. mutans.

CONCLUSIONThe protein expression of S. mutans significantly changed after synthetic antimicrobial decapeptide treatment, suggesting that decapeptide may present a preferential effect on oral caries by changing the expression of certain key proteins, such as enolase protein.
