Since the modern times, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been more widely spread in the western world. However, it becomes more difficult to be accepted or even be demonized. The perspective of oreintalism can help to accurately analyze the origin of TCM acceptance in the western countries. This acceptance follows the cognitive model of orientalism. The change of orentalism discourse system directly affects the TCM communication to the West in the modern times. To conclude this period of history will provide some useful inspiration to the further TCM communication to the West.

nm-23 gene is the first antimetastatic gene which was found to have close relationship with metastasis and prognosis of many malignant carcinoma.This review briefly summarizes the development of nm-23 gene and hepatocellular carcinoma in recent years.

Objective To explore the preoperative diagnosis and treatment of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis(XGP). Methods The clinical data of 16 patients with XGP from 1978 to 2003 were retrospectively reviewed, and its clinic symtoms, diagnosis and therapy were discussed in combination with literature review. Results 16 cases of patients with XGP confirmed by histopathological examination recovered well after operation, and did not relapse till now. Conclusion According to medical history, symptom, physical sign, the foam cells in urine and CT examination, XGP could be diagnosed. Sometimes, fine needle aspiration biopsy should be done in order to confirm the diagnosis of XGP. The operation was a major method for treating this disease.

0.05), while there were obvious different effects at different time points in each group and between group A and B (P0.05). There was difference in the number of fibroblats and eosinophils between groups (P

Objective To treat urinary calculi with pneumatic lithotripsy under non-endoscopy.Methodes We applied the pneumatic lithotripsy machine,which made in China,to treat huge or staghom nephrolith and calculi of anterior urethra under non-endoscopy,taken out stone fragmentations after lithotripsy.There was 1 case of huge nephrolith,7cases of staghom nephrolith,3 cases of anterior urethral calculi.Results Every case of nephrolith was successfully performed by using lithotrisy and extracted stones only one case.1 case in total nephrolith cases was found residual stones and sick-side renal functions were improved than before in all casws followed up for 3 moths to 2 years.the cases of anterior urethral calculi urinated fluently and had no urethral stenoses followed up 1～2 years.Conclusion This kind of operation used pneumatic lithotripsy to treat urinary calculi under non-endoscopy is safe,slight injury and curative effect is reliable.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the incidence of the bifurcation of the facial nerve in mastoid segment and to give the anatomic information for mastoid surgery. METHODS From March 2005 to April 2006, there were 112 patients undergoing the decompress operations which the range included the mastoid segment. The bifurcation of the mastoid segment was recorded and compared with the preoperational High-resolution Computed tomography (HRCT) scans. RESULTS There were 5 cases with the nerve bifurcation. The incidence was 4.5 %. Four of those 5 cases were diagnosed preoperatively by HRCT scans (the accurate rate was 80 %). CONCLUSION Bifurcation of the mastoid segment was not rare. Otologic surgeon should pay attention to this anatomic variation to avoid injuring the branch of the facial nerve. HRCT scans were useful to find this abnormality.

Objective To investigate the approaches and effect of Ilizarov external fixators combined with limited operation in treatment of posttraumatic clubfoot in children.Methods The study involved 40 cases (43 feet) of posttraumatic clubfoot treated with Ilizarov external fixators combined with limited operation including soft-tissue releases (26 cases,28 feet) or osteotomies (14 cases,15 feet)from January 2006 to June 2012.Scoring system of intemational clubfoot study group (ICFSG) including aspects of functional assessment (36 points),morphology (12 points) and radiological assessment (12points) were employed before and after surgery.Results All the cases were available to the follow-up of 0.5-6 years.ICFSG score was excellent in 28 feet,good in 10,fair in four and poor in one foot,with excellent-good rate of 88％.This suggested the good correction of posttraumatic clubfoot,satisfactory weight-bearing exercise and a low relapse rate.Conclusions Conservative open operation brings large trauma and poor results in treatment of posttraumatic clubfeet in children,while Ilizarov invasive distraction technique is probable to offset those weak points.Therefore,Ilizarov external fixators combined with limited operation is an effective treatment.

Objective: To study the role of estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) in the formation of cholesterol calculus and investigate the effects of Shengqing CapsuObjective: To observe the effects of Huzhang Gout Granule (HZGG), a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine, on cyclooxygenase (COX) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) activities, the two important oxidases in the course of inflammation, so as to investigate the possible anti-inflammatory mechanism of HZGG. Methods: After stimulating the blood sample of healthy volunteer with calcium ionophore A23187, concentration of thromboxane B(2) (TXB(2)) in the healthy volunteer's blood was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to observe the effects of HZGG at low- and high-dose on the activity of COX-1, with aspirin as control drug. The concentration of prostaglandin I(2) (PGI(2)) in the healthy volunteer's blood sample, in which aspirin was added to destroy activity of COX-1 beforehand and which was stimulated with lipopolysaccharide, was detected by ELISA method to observe the effects of HZGG on the activity of COX-2, with celecoxib as control drug. In the animal experiment, 40 rats were implanted with sponges soaking in 0.5% arachidonic acid solution in the back to induce inflammatory effusion. Content of leukotriene B4 (LTB4) in the polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) from the inflammatory effusions was detected with reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) to observe the impacts of different doses of HZGG on the activity of 5-LOX, with dexamethasone as control drug. Results: The concentration of TXB(2) in the low-dose HZGG group was higher than those in the high-dose HZGG group and the aspirin group (P<0.05). The concentrations of PGI2 in the low- and high-dose HZGG groups were higher than that in the celecoxib group (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the low-dose HZGG group and the high-dose HZGG group (P>0.05). The content of LTB4 in the blank control group was higher than those in the low-dose HZGG group, the high-dose HZGG group or the dexamethasone group (P<0.05) Conclusion:HZGG can reduce the releasing of inflammatory mediators, such as TXB2, PGI2 and LTB4, by inhibiting the activities of COX and 5-LOX.
