Uveitis is a kind of inflammatory disease affected in ocular posterior segment.Uveitis sustains a long duration and causes a significant damage of visual function.It often leads to serious complications,such as cystoid macular edema (CME),cataract,glaucoma,retinal detachment and choroidal neovascularization (CNV).In the pathological process of uveitis,inflammatory factors promote the release of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) through a variety of pathways.It has been verified that VEGF level is elevated in vitreous in the patients with uveiticinduced CME.Intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF drugs,including ranibizumab and bevacizumab,can improve the visual acuity in most patients with noninfectious uveitic-induced CME and CNV.However,intravitreously repeated injections of anti-VEGF drugs may be required in some patients.Intraocular injection of anti-VEGF drugs is an optional and effective way for those with persist macular edema and not being suitable for the use of corticosteroid or immunosuppressive therapy.However,anti-VEGF drugs may affect the efficacy of corticosteroid.Therefore,more clinical and basic researches are still needed.The status and progresses in the use of anti-VEGF drugs for uveitisinduced CME and CNV were reviewed.

It is an important topic in life science research to study the method of intervening sub-health. Previous studies indicated that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has unique advantages in sub-health intervention. In this paper, TCM sub-health intervention was summarized from such aspects as diagnosing according to syndrome differentiation, application of herbal medicine and Chinese patent medicine, herbal cuisine and medicated bath. At the same time, the paper discussed methods of sub-health comprehensive intervention, the relation between individual physical factors and sub-health, and the potential influence of the sub-health intervention on the innovation of Chinese medicine health insurance.

Non-Drug Therapy has good advantages for sub-health state.Commonly used methods of non-drug therapy are health education,life conditioning,physical exercise,psychological adjustment,acupuncture,massage and etc.TCM has obvious advantages in the field of non-drug therapy,showing broad prospects.

Objective:To investigate the stability of Zhiling Liumiao oral liquids. Methods: The active ingredients in Zhiling Li-umiao oral liquids were determined by HPLC, and the identification was studied by TLC. Meanwhile, the other indices including char-acter, relative density, pH and microbial limit were determined as well. Results:The active ingredients in Zhiling Liumiao oral liquids could be influenced by strong light, while the changes were within the range of the quality standards, and the samples were stable in the accelerated test and long-term test. Conclusion:The designs of preparation process and package are rational to keep the stability of the preparation. The shelf time may be set at 12 months.

This paper discussed the ethical principles in the medical sci-tech journal editing work, namely, respect, fairness, equality, honesty, and combining with the particularity of medical journals, further discussed these principles during choosing manuscripts, inviting manuscripts, peer review, rejection, and so forth. This pa-per proposed that medical journal editors should adhere to in the work of ethical principles, and constantly improve their ethics quality.

Objective: To investigate the effect of chloride concentration on the corrosion of Co-Cr alloy and pure Ti in a simulated oral environment. Methods: The electrochemical corrosion tests of pure Ti and Co-Cr alloy were carried out in neutral artiifcial saliva solutions with different NaCl concentrations (0.9%, 2.0%, and 3.0%). hTe morphologies of corroded surface for pure Ti and Co-Cr alloy were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results: hTe changes in the self-corrosion potentials (Ecorr) for pure Ti and Co-Cr alloy in three kinds of artificial saliva solutions was not obvious. However, the self-corrosion current densities (Icorr) of pure Ti were much lower than those of Co-Cr. TheIcorr of Co-Cr alloy increased in a concentration-dependent manner of NaCl, whereas the breakdown potential (Eb) of Co-Cr alloy decreased in a concentration-dependent manner. hTe potential ranged for the breakdown of oxide film (Ev) was shortened in a concentration-dependent manner of NaCl. There was no obviousdifference in theIcorr of pure Ti with different concentrations of NaCl. hTe breakdown potential was not seen according to the polarization curves. Conclusion: In a certain range, the increase of the concentration of Cl- leads to accelerate the corrosion behavior of Co-Cr alloy, but it does not affect pure Ti.

To explore the value of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) technique in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant hepatic neoplasms.Retrospective analysis of touch tissue quantification (VTQ) and general ultrasonic examination of interesting region were performed for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),hepatic hemangioma,focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) and controls.Significant differences existed between HCC and hepatic hemangioma,hepatic FNH and controls (all P ＜0.01).No significant difference existed between primary and metastatic HCC (P ＞ 0.05).There was no significant difference between hepatic hemangioma,FNH and controls (all P ＞ 0.05).With a cut-off VTQ value of 1.95 m/s,the sensitivity and accuracy rate in the differentiation of benign and malignant hepatic neoplasms was 90％ and 83％ respectively.The sensitivity and accuracy rate in general ultrasound examination of hepatic neoplasms was 88％ and 70％ respectively.Significant differences existed in accuracy rate between two methods (P ＜ 0.01).It was confirmed that ARFI could reflect the stiffness of liver neoplasm noninvasively.Compared with general ultrasonography,ARFI is better at differentiating benign and malignant hepatic neoplasms.

This study was aimed to explore the mechanism of Xin-Feng capsule (XFC) on pulmonary function of Sjogren's syndrome (SS) rat model based on the TGF-β1-ERK1 signal pathway. A total of 50 SD rats were ran-domly divided into the normal control (NC) group, model control (MC) group, hydroxychloroquine sulfate (HCQ) group, radix paeoniae alba (total glucosides of paeony capsules, TGP) group, and the XFC treatment group, with 10 rats in each group. Except the NC group, the complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) and the same rat sub-mandibular gland antigen induced method were applied to each rat after metatarsus injection on two feet and CFA after sufficient emulsification of 0.2 mL submandibular gland protein mixed antigen induced SS. The water drink-ing quantity, body weight change, pulmonary function, ERK1, TGF-β1 protein expression and serum cell factor (IL-17, IL-4) changes were detected in each group. The results showed that compared with the NC group, the body quality and serum IL-4 of MC rats were obviously decreased, and the water drinking quantity, submandibu-lar gland / lung index, submandibular gland pathological score, ERK1, TGF-β1 integral and IL-17 were increased (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05), and the pulmonary function parameter was decreased (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05). Compared with the MC group, the body quality, pulmonary function parameters FEF50 and MMF of the XFC group were in-creased, the IL-4 expression was increased, the water drinking quantity, submandibular gland / lung index, sub-mandibular gland pathological score, serum IL-17 expression, ERK1 and TGF-β1 integral were decreased (P <0.01 or P < 0.05). Compared with the HCQ group, the body quality and IL-17 were significantly decreased in the XFC group (P < 0.01), FEF25, FEF75 and MMF were increased (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05). Compared with the TGP group, the lung index and IL-17 were decreased in the XFC group (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05). It was conclud-ed that the lung function of SS rats was declined, which is closely related to the activation of TGF-β1-ERK1 sig-nal pathway. Traditional Chinese medicine of XFC is able to downregulate the TGF-β1 expression and to restrain epithelium-mesenchymal cell transformation, in order to inhibit ERK1 phosphorylation activation and proliferation, decrease immune inflammation, in order to improve SS and lung function.

Surgery is usually the first choice for patients with lung cancer,whereas the risk increases with age.A comprehensive evaluation of the patients should be applied in order to bring about the best outcome.By convention,the preoperative assessment includes neoplasm staging,cardio-respiratory function assessment, nutritional status assessment,and etc. The surgical planning includes limited resection,video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and so on.
