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.

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 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.

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.

AIM:To study the action of nucleoside diphosphate kinase A(NDPK-A)on the growth of S_ 180,H_ 22,Lewis and H460.METHODS:S_ 180 or H_ 22 cell(5?106)were inoculate subcutaneously into the right armpit of 85 Kunming mice,which were randomized into 8 groups.Lewis lung carcinoma cells(2?105)were inoculate subcutaneously into the right armpit of 85 C57BL/6 mice,which were randomized as Kunming mice.From the 2nd day,the treated groups were given different dose of rhNDPK-A once a day for 8 days(for S_ 180 or H_ 22 by iv)or for 10 days(for Lewis by ip),and the control group was given physiological saline only.H460 tissue pieces about 1.5 mm?1.5 mm?1.5 mm each were inoculated subcutaneously into the armpit of 38 Balb/c/neu mice.After the volume of xenograft become 100 mm?100 mm?100 mm,the nude mice were randomized into 5 groups and given different dose of rhNDPK-A once a day for 17 days.2 days after above treatments,the mice were killed and dissected.The knubs were peeled off and weighted.RESULTS:The growth of S_ 180,H_ 22 and H460 were inhibited by rhNDPK and the growth of H_ 22 was inhibited by rhNDPK at dose of 20 mg/kg combined with cisplatin(0.5 mg/kg).But the growth of Lewis lung cancer was not inhibited.CONCLUSION:rhNDPK-A inhibited the growth of S_ 180,H_ 22 and H460.rhNDPK-A(20 mg/kg)potentiated the antitumor action of cisplatin on H_ 22.

AIM: To construct retroviral expression vector pLXmIL-12SN containing mouse IL-12 (mIL-12) gene and detect the gene expression in B16F10 cells. METHODS: Vector pGCp35-IRES-p40SN was digested to obtain p35-IRES-p40 (mIL-12 gene fragment) and retroviral vector pLXSN was digested by restriction enzyme, and then they were linked by ligase. The recombinant vector that mIL-12 gene fragment had correctly been inserted into pLXSN was identified by sequencing. The recombination vector with mIL-12 gene was transfected into B16F10 cell and was detected by RT-PCR. RESULTS: Expression vector pLXmIL-12SN was successfully constructed. mIL-12 gene was confirmed to express in B16F10 cells at the level of mRNA. CONCLUSION: Acquired vector pLXmIL-12SN and confirmed mIL-12 gene expression lays a foundation for mIL-12 gene therapy to eye diseases.
