Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are important components in Chinese medicine industry. However, the lack of big brand is becoming an urgent problem which is critical to the survival of SMEs. This article discusses the concept and traits of Chinese medicine of big brand, from clinical, scientific and market value three aspects. Guided by market value, highlighting clinical value, aiming at the scientific value improvement of big brand cultivation, we put forward the key points in cultivation, aiming at obtaining branded Chinese medicine with widely recognized efficacy, good quality control system and mechanism well explained and meanwhile which can bring innovation improvement to theory of Chinese medicine. According to the characters of SMEs, we hold a view that to build multidisciplinary research union could be considered as basic path, and then, from top-level design, skill upgrading and application three stages to probe the implementation strategy.

Objective To study the application of native pelvis and ureter in kidney transplantation. Methods Between 1977 and 2001, 1 364 kidney transplantations were performed in our institution. 18 cases of ureteral complication after kidney transplantation were treated with native pelvis and ureter. The mean age of the patients was 42 years. In 10 patients with urine leakage, 3 cases underwent pyeloureterostomy using native ureter, 2 cases ureteroureterostomy using native ureter and 5 cases pyelopyelostomy using native pelvis. Five cases due to short ureter underwent ureteroureterostomy using native ureter. Three cases of ureteral stenosis were subjected to ureteroureterostomy using native ureter.Results Two grafts were rejected. Sixteen patients developed a normal function of kidney postoperatively (follow up: 3 months to 8 years). Conclusion Application of native pelvis and ureter might be a therapy of choice when secondary reconstruction by re-ureteroneocystostomy is not possible.

Acrylonitrile is most commonly used aliphatic nitrile compounds characterized by the structural formula R-C=N and used mossy to make acrylic fibers, plastics, synthetic rubber, and wall coverings. In recent, because of its extensive usage and the rapid expansion of the chemical industry, many poisonings have been reported and many studies on its health effects have been performed. Acute toxicity resembles cyanide poisoning and results mainly in effects on the nervous system. High exposure also can cause temporary damage to red blood cells and the liver and can cause lead to death. Because long-term occupational exposure to the acrylonitrile has been with cancer in humans, the U.S EPA classifies acrylonitrile as probable carcinogen. For this reason, The federal government has developed regulations and advisories to protect individuals firm the potential health effects of acylonitrile in the environment, but there are few studies, case reports and regulations of the government in our country. We experienced acute poisoning caused by acrylonitrile inhalation that occurred in an industrial accident. So, we report this case with literature reveiw.

AIM: To investigate the molecular mechanism by which the SARS-CoV S protein induces chemokine IP-10 in airway epithelial cells.METHODS: cDNA microarrays were used to screen the gene expression profiles of human bronchial epithelial cells(16HBEs) stimulated by SARS-CoV S protein.In addition,RT-PCR,EMSA,and Western blotting were performed to analyze the phosphorylation of JAK/STAT signal pathway.The changes of IRF-1 and IP10 gene expression and the influence by the corresponding inhibitors were analyzed.RESULTS: IRF-1,a key transcription factor of the JAK/STAT signal pathway,was activated in human bronchial epithelial cells after stimulation by the S protein of SARS-CoV.The IP-10 gene expression was detected 2 h following the phosphorylation of STAT1 after 15 min,which was blocked by STAT1or JAK2 inhibitors.Electrophoretic mobility shift assay(EMSA) demonstrated that the nuclear proteins bound to ISRE and GAS but not NF-?B DNA motif.CONCLUSION: The SARS-CoV S protein induces IP-10 gene expression in human bronchial epithelial cells through activation of the JAK/STAT signal pathway,suggesting that the JAK/STAT signal pathway activated by virus plays key roles in virus infection related acute lung injury.

AIM:To observe the expression of Smad7 and Smad ubiquition regulatory factor-Smurf2 in rat glomerular mesangial cells (GMC) stimulated by the high concentration of glucose,and to investigate the effect of the ubiquition on Smad signaling by adding MG132 as a proteasome differential inhibitor. METHODS:Cultured rat GMC were divided into normal group (the concentration of glucose:5.6 mmol/L),high glucose group (20 mmol/L,30 mmol/L,respectively),therapy group (30 mmol/L glucose with MG132). The expressions of Smurf2 and Smad7 in each group were measured by indirect immunofluorescence and laser scanning confocal microscope. RESULTS:(1) The expression of Smurf2 in GMC in normal group was weak (25.93?3.35) whereas the expression of Smad7 was strong (64.09?7.43). (2) The expression of Smurf2 in high glucose group was stronger than that in normal group (P

Objective To provide a clinical anatomic basis for the bi-pedicled gastrocnemius myocuta- neous flap which is to be used to repair defects of the Achilles tendon and posterior skin of the ankle.Methods In anatomic study,out of 30 cadaver specimens,bi-pedicled V-Y gastrocnemius myoeutaneous flaps were harvested to measure the downward sliding lengths of the flap when the knee was at flexion of different degrees.In clinic,12 patients with the Achilles tendon and posterior ankle skin defects were repaired with the bi-pedicled gastrocnemius myocutaneous flaps.The areas of composite defects ranged from 10 cm?6 cm to 6 cm?4 cm.They were followed up for four months to 12 years.Results The maximal sliding length of the flap reached (9.2?0.9)cm when the knee was at flexion of 90?.All the clinical flaps survived and ambulation of the patients recovered.The dorsiflexion and plantarflexion of the ankles reached 11.0??1.4?and 35.0??4.6?respectively.Conclusion This flap is suitable for one-stage repair of composite Achilles tendon defects.

The fermentation conditions of lipase production by Geotrichum candidum Y162 were optimized. Initially, the most suitable carbon olive oil, nitrogen source soybean flour and NH4Cl, salt BaCl2 and MgCl2 were selected according to single factorial experiments respectively. Based on the result, screening methodology Plackett-Burman design was used to evaluate the effects of twelve factors related to lipase production and three statistically significant factors olive oil, BaCl2 and NH4Cl were selected. The path of steepest ascent was used to approach the optimal region of lipase production subsequently. Then, the optimal combined concentration for maximum enzyme activity were further optimized by response surface methodology and determined as follows: olive oil 2.35%, BaCl2 0.36%,and NH4Cl 4.69%.The optimization of culture conditions of G.candidum Y162 led to a 2.25-fold increase in lipase production relative to initial result 14.16 U/ml, which indicate that single factor in combination with response surface methodology is an effective method for optimization of lipase production conditions by G.candidum Y162.
