According to two kinds of acupoint combination methods for Huahe and Huhe in five-door and ten-change theory proposed by the deceased Taiwanese famous acupuncturist Mr. ZHOU Zuo-yu, the origin of the change theory proposed by the deceased Taiwanese famous acupuncturist Mr. ZHOU Zuo-yu, the origin of the acupoint combination method of five-door and ten-change is introduced. This method combines traditional philosophy of Yi with medicine, which is featured with casual timing, casual pattern, capacity to be combined with TCM syndrome differentiation, specific application scope and pertinence. Some clinical cases are additionally presented to verify this method. Huhe method is mostly used for Bi-syndrome while Huahe method has better effects on internal medicine diseases. They open the new thinking methods for clinical acupoint selection.

Objective The diolistic assay has been modified to make it simpler and more efficient in labeling neurons and glia. Methods CNS neurons and glial cells were labeled with DiI diolistic assay in fixed tissue and living brain slices of C57/B6J mice. Results The method allowed the visualization of the fine structure of neurons and glia including synaptic structures such as dendritic spines. Conclusion With the method, the labeling efficacy of cell's fine structure is improved, making it preferable for the analysis of dendritic spine. In addition, the ability to label the living neuron and glia will extend its application vastly.

Objective To improve the radiologic diagnosis of mammary diseases and analysis the X-ray findings of high-frequency mammography.Methods The distributing type of mammography from 1000 cases(in 321 cases,benign or malignant tumors proved by pathology )and the rates of checkout benign and malignant tumors were analyzed.Results The mammagraphic appearances could be divided into 6 types:the thorough,honeycomb,mass,mixture,fiber and shrink type.There were 131 cases of benign tumors and 40 cases of malignant ones,and they were common observed in women from 36～45 ages,the most type was the thorough.The rate of checkout of benign tumors was 76.3% and the rate of checkout of malignant ones was 92.5%.Conclusion The X-ray films of high-frequency mammography have higher clarity,better radio,higher rate of checkout and important value in radiologic diagnostic of mammary diseases.

Objective To explore the X-ray characteristic findings of the intraductal papilloma to improve the radiologic diagnostic rate.Methods The mammographic data of 70 cases with intraductal papilloma of breast by pathology were analysed.Results Among 66 patients with nipple discharge 29 cases showed circular filling defect,7 cases showed stringy filling defect,17 cases had irregular filling defect,13 cases had mammary duct blocked ;4 cases with no nipple discharge all showed nodes.Conclusion To recognize the specific X-ray findings of intraductal papilloma of breast is valuable for diagnosis.

Objective To study X-ray differential diagnosis of the occupied lesions of the mammary ducts. Methods X-ray features, clinical manifestations and pathological result in 103 patients with pathologically-proved mammary ductal lesions were retrospectively analyzed.Results The mammary ductal occupied lesions in the study included intraductal papilloma (n=70), intraductal papillary carcinoma (n=15), intraductal papillomatosis (n=11), intraductal chronic mastitis (n=7).Conclusion The section, morphological features, size, number and the ductal variety of the lesions and discharge quality are of great value for the differential diagnosis of occupied lesions.

Objective To investigate the effect of globular adiponectin on the high expression of monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) induced by high glucose in rat renal tubular epithelial cells (NRK52E),and its relationship with adiponectin receptors and p38MAPK.Methods NRK52E cells were cultured in vitro and divided into six groups:normal glucose group (NG,5.6 mmol/L glucose),high glucose group(HG,25 mmol/L glucose),gAd groupl (HG+gAd 2 mg/L),gAd group2 (HG+gAd 5 mg/L),gAd group3 (HG+gAd 10 mg/L),p38MAPK antagonist group:(SB,HG+SB203580 10 μmol/L).The protein expression of phosphorylated p38MAPK (p-p38MAPK),total p38MAPK (t-p38MAPK),MCP-1 and AdipoR1/AdipoR2 were examined by western blotting.The mRNA expression of MCP-1 and AdipoR1/AdipoR2 were detected by RT-PCR and real-time PCR respectively.Results Compared with NG group,the mRNA and protein expression of MCP-1 increased significantly in HG group (all P＜ 0.05).The phosphorylation of p38MAPK increased (P＜ 0.05) with no change in t-p38MAPK protein.The addition of gAd or SB203580 inhibited the unregulation of MCP-1 and p-p38MAPK induced by HG.Two kinds of adipoR,adipoR1 and adipoR2,were all detectable in NG group,and mRNA and protein expression of adipoR1 was higher than that of adipoR2 (P＜ 0.01).Compared with NG group,the expression of adipoR decreased in HG group,but the difference had no statistical significance(P ＞ 0.05).Compared to HG group,the mRNA and protein expression of adipoR1 increased in gAd groups (all P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion The gAd can dose-dependently attenuate the overexpression of MCP-1 induced by high glucose,and this protective effect may be mediated by adipoR1 and p38MAPK.

Objective To investigate the relationship between accompanying infection and the change of immunologic function in type 2 diabetes mellitus ( T2DM) patients.Methods One hundred and fifteen T2DM patients with infection and 95 T2DM patients with no infection were selected,and 102 subjects with no history of dia-betes were selected as no diabetetes with infection group.The venous blood of all groups were sampled after an over-night fast of 12h.Glycosylated hemoglobin a1c(HbA1c) level was tested by glycosylated hemoglobin automatic analy-zer.The levels of T cell subsets including CD3 ,CD4 ,CD8 ,NK cell and B cell ratio were tested by flow cytometry,Ig and complement level was tested by immune nephelometry.Results The level of body mass indices(BMI) in T2DM patients with infection group[(27.39 ±9.18) kg/m2 ] and with no infection group[(26.15 ±7.39) kg/m2 ] were higher than no diabetes with infection group (24.21 ±5.37)kg/m2 (t =2.548,4.702,all P <0.05).The levels of IgG,IgA,IgM,C3 ,C4 in T2DM with infection group were (11.83 ±3.92)mg/mL,(3.02 ±0.96)mg/mL,(3.38 ± 0.82)mg/mL,(1.70 ±0.38)mg/mL,(0.52 ±0.18)mg/mL,which in T2DM with non infection group were (12.46 ± 2.47)mg/mL,(2.63 ±1.37)mg/mL,(2.91 ±1.79)mg/mL,(1.58 ±0.43)mg/mL,(0.46 ±0.31)mg/mL,which in no diabetetes with infection group were (13.26 ±3.74)mg/mL,(2.06 ±1.86)mg/mL,(2.49 ±1.01)mg/mL, (1.19 ±0.82)mg/mL,(0.30 ±0.05)mg/mL.In T2DM with non infection group and T2DM with infection group, humoral immunity index including the level of IgG was lower and IgA,IgM,C3 ,C4 levels were higher than no dia-betetes with infection group,the differences were statistically significant(t =7.052,23.059,12.617,18.326,8.730, all P <0.05).The levels of CD4 ,CD8 ,NK,CD4 /CD8 ,CD3 were (37.68 ±8.39)%,(31.58 ±6.98)%,(10.76 ± 6.49)%,(1.19 ±0.75),(62.83 ±5.28)% in T2DM with infection group,which in T2DM with non infection group were (39.23 ±10.28)%,(27.61 ±5.65)%,(14.89 ±7.12)%,(1.39 ±1.01),(64.19 ±6.46)%,which in no diabetes with infection group were (42.91 ±5.67)%,(25.17 ±7.25)%,(16.39 ±6.24)%,(1.86 ±0.82), (73.65 ±9.10)%.Cellular immunity index containing CD4 ,CD8 ,NK,CD4 /CD8 ,CD3 levels decreased more signifi-cantly than no diabetic group,T2DMI group compared with T2DM group,the levels of IgG,CD4 ,CD8 ,NK,B cell ratio, CD4 /CD8 ,CD3 decreased obviously,while the levels of IgA,IgM,C3 declined greatly,there were significant differences (t =11.038,8.237,18.549,25.871,2.436,all P <0.05).Conclusion Patients with T2DM have humoral and cellular immunity abnormalities,T2DM patients with infection is closely related with the imbalance of immunologic function.
