Professor YU Ren-cun believes that the responsibility of cough and asthma of lung cancer patients not only lies in the lungs, but also relates with spleen, kidney, heart and liver. Treatment should focus on the whole body and overall conditioning. Syndrome can be divided into 4 types: qi deficiency with phlegm resistance, yin deficiency with toxic heat, qi stagnation with blood stasis, and lung and kidney deficiency. Clinical treatment should pay attention to the combination of disease and syndrome, which can achieve satisfactory efficacy.

Objective To study the clinical significance of chromosome karyotyping in pregnant women with a history of abnormal pregnancy. Methods The fetal chromosome karyotypes of 1 193 pregnant women with a history of abnormal pregnancy in Peking University First Hospital from January 4, 2005 to December 31, 2013 were analyzed. According to the etiology of their previous abnormal pregnancy, these women were divided into four groups: 273 women had children with inherited metabolic disorders or single-gene genetic diseases (group A), 81 women had children or fetuses with chromosome abnormalities (group B), eight cases had an abnormal chromosomal karyotype in either husband or wife (group C), and 833 women had abnormal pregnancy of unknown causes(group D). Results Forty-eight [4.0%(48/1 193)] and fetuses were found to have abnormal chromosomal karyotypes, including 26 cases of chromosome polymorphism variations and 22 cases of numerical and structural abnormalities (four cases of trisomy 21, four cases of numerical sex chromosome abnormalities, three cases of trisomy 18, three cases of extra small chromosome mosaicism, three cases of reciprocal translocation, one case of Robertsonian translocation, one case of chromosome six inversion between the arms, one case of chromosome three inversion between the arms, one case of mosaicism of trisomy 14 and one case of structural abnormality of chromosome 14). In group A, four cases (1.5%) of chromosomal abnormalities of clinical significance and four cases of chromosome polymorphism variations were detected. Meanwhile, 61 fetuses with inherited metabolic disorders or single-gene genetic diseases and two cases of gene mutation carriers were detected in group A, but among whom, there were no abnormal chromosome karyotype cases. In group B, two cases (2.5%) of chromosomal abnormalities were found. In group C, two cases (2/8) of reciprocal translocation were found, whose karyotypes were the same as the parents. In group D, three cases of trisomy 21, three cases of trisomy 18, two cases of extra small chromosome mosaicism and two cases of numerical sex chromosome abnormalities were found. All the mothers in this group were of advanced age. Four cases of structural abnormalities and 22 cases of chromosome polymorphism variations were also found in this group, chromosomal analysis was subsequently performed in those couples, and found that the abnormal chromosomal karyotypes in the fetuses were the same as those in the parents. Conclusions Appropriate prenatal cell genetic diagnostic methods should be chosen according to the causes of abnormal pregnancy history.

This article was aimed to study the mechanism of interaction between human serum albumin (HSA) and zinc ions, in order to provide the information on the secondary structure modification of HSA and the thermodynamics parameters using circular dichroism (CD) and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). CD and ITC were applied in the study. The concentration of HSA were 0.025 mmol·L-1, 0.05 mmol·L-1, 0.1 mmol·L-1, and 0.2 mmol·L-1, respectively. The concentration of zinc ion was 5 mmol·L-1. The CD analysis revealed that the secondary structure modification of HSA differed depending on the concentration of HAS. And the content ofα-helix was inversely proportional to the concentration of HSA. When the concentration of HSA was 0.2 mmol·L-1, the content ofα-helix was special. A series of thermodynamics parameters including association constants (Kb), stoichiometry (N), entropy (ΔS) and enthalpy (ΔH) were investigated by ITC analysis. And two types of binding sites were observed when ZnSO4(mmol·L-1)?HSA (mmol·L-1)= 5?0.2. The secondary structure modification of HSA interacting with zinc ions depended on the concentration of HSA, a dramatic reduction ofα-helix was detected when the concentration of HSA attained 0.2 mmol·L-1. And the protein hydrophobicity reduction and peptide chains expansion were equally observed at this concentration. The ITC analysis also revealed endothermic and exothermic binding sites in the ZnSO4-HSA interaction when ZnSO4 (mmol·L-1)?HSA (mmol·L-1)= 5?0.2, indicating that the endothermic sites were specific but not preferential for zinc ions interactions. These results provided theoretical supports for the application of Zn2+ to open the endothermic sites of HSA.
