HuangDi NeiJing, the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, a foundational classic of Chinese medical theory, is ranked as the first among the four most important classics of traditional Chinese medicine. Translation of culture-specific Lexicon is a pivot, also a nodus in translating Huangdi Neijing, so, chewing over it is of important meaning for English translation of the Chinese classic or even for that of whole Chinese medicine. In expectation of somewhat contribution to the development of the Chinese medical English discipline, the classification and translation strategy for culture-specific lexicon were discussed by the authors in this paper through an empirical study on comparing the different terms translated in two versions of Huangdi Neijing translation.

Procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids( PPH) is one of the important techniques developed for the treatment of hemorrhoids with severe degree in the last decade. Its principle is based on the "anal cushion" theory.Compared with traditional hemorrhoidectomy , PPH has advantages of shorter operation time , minor degree of postoperative pain , shorter hospital stay and quicker recovery.However, the occurrence of relapse and re-prolapse of hemorrhoids is high. Besides, the short-term efficacy of PPH for the constipation outlet obstruction caused by anterior rectocele is also favorable.

Objective:To evaluate the value of Cook MOB-15 system in guiding wire insertion during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Methods: The clinical data of 51 patients who received Cook MOB-15 system-guided wire insertion during ERCP between Jan. 2005 to Dec. 2007 were retrospectively analyzed. Forty patients who received conventional ERCP catheter for malignant jaundice between Jan. 2002 and Dec. 2004 were taken as control. The successful insertion rates were compared between the 2 groups. Results: The successful insertion rate was 90.2% (46/51) in the Cook MOB-15 system group and 72.5% (29/40) in the conventional group; there was significant difference between the 2 groups (P

OBJECTIVETo clarity the original plants and the main application varieties of White Flos Gentianae.

METHODHerbal textual research, wild specimen collection, investigation and collection of the samples from Tibetan hospital, Tibetan pharmaceutical factory and medical material market were carried out simultaneously to identify the original plants of White Flos Gentianae.

RESULTThe results of varieties textual research and specimen identification showed that Gentiana szechenyii, G. purdomii and G. algida were in accord with the record of Tibetan herbal textual The three species above were the original plants of White Flos Gentianae. The identification of 20 batches samples showed that G. szechenyii was the main application variety. The other varieties were only used in Tibetan hospitals. All the samples above were flowering branches.

CONCLUSIONIt was necessary to strengthen the research on variety systematization of White Flos Gentianae make a further discussion on the taxonomy position of G. purdomii, G. algida and the white flos population. Its was also nessary to establish and improve the quality standard of different variety based on the principle of "one species, one name". The quality specification of White Flos Gentianae should be established and improved to standard clinical utilization and produce feeding. More study of resources investigation and cultivation of G. szechenyii should be carried on to meet the demand of produce and clinic.

In order to investigate the mechanism, the correlation between the odor change in Crataegi Fructus stir-fried process and 5-HMF were studied. Required samples were retrieved from Crataegi Fructus stir-fried process. Statistical quality control (SQC) was used to analyze the response values acquired by the electronic nose. At the same time, the content of 5-HMF was detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between the above two. Experimental results showed that SQC model established by response values of all samples could show the change law of odor in Crataegi Fructus stir-fried process and changes of 5-HMF content was dropped after the first increase. Correlation analysis showed that the odor change in Crataegi Fructus stir-fried process and 5-HMF were significantly correlated (P < 0.05). Sugar degradation reaction and the Maillard reaction may be one of the mechanisms of the odor change in Crataegi Fructus stir-fried process.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effect of titanoreine on early postoperative symptoms after procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH).

METHODSFrom November 2002 to July 2003, 80 patients who received PPH were randomly divided in to titanoreine group (n=42) and control group without titanoreine (n=38). Symptom relief was recorded 24 hours, 6 days and 12 days after PPH, urine retention 24h after PPH, first stool time, wound healing time, mean hospital stay were also recorded.

RESULTSThe score of symptom was lower in titanoreine group (4.4) than that in the control group (6.1) 24 hours after PPH (P< 0.05), but no significant difference in symptom grade was found between the two groups 6 days and 12 days after PPH (P> 0.05). Decrements of symptom grade were lower in titanoreine group than those of control group at any point after PPH (P< 0.05). There was no significant difference in urine retention rate and mean hospital stay between two groups(P> 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSTitanoreine can effectively relieve the early postoperative symptoms after PPH.

Objective To investigate the effects of different CO2 pneumoperitoneum on cell cycle and cell cycle protein of a gastric cancer cell line. Methods Human gastric cancer cell line MNK-45 were exposed to 0,10,12 and 15 mm Hg CO2 pneumoperitoneum in vitro for 4 hrs. Cell cycle was measured by flowcytometry, the expression of CDK4 ,Cyclin D1、Rb and pRb was studied by Western-blot, and the binding ability of CDK4 and Cyclin D1 was evaluated by immunoprecipitation. Results The cell proliferation index in 15 mm Hg CO2 pneumoperitoneum group dropped significantly (27.4% ± 3. 7%) vs. (36. 4% ±3. 3%) ,P <0. 05, while that in other groups did not change significantly. The protein of CDK4、Cyclin D1and binding ability of Cyclin D1 and CDK4 dropped dramatically in the 15 mm Hg CO2 pneumoperitoneum group (0.71%±0.12%),(0.93% ±0.21%),(0.54%±0.11%),(0.18% ±0.02%) vs. (1.05% ±0.16%),(1.40% ±0.24%),(0.75% ±0.14%),(0.31% ±0.02%), all P<0.05. There were no changes of Rb in protein levels, while the phosphorylated Rb dropped obviously. Conclusion There was no obvious effects of clinical CO2 pneumoperitoneum on gastric cancer cells growth and proliferation.

Objective　To investigate the significance of TGF-β1, TGFRl and TGFR2 in the pathogenesis and prognosis in patients with myelofibrosis. Methods　The expression of TGF-β1 and its receptors (TGFR1 and TGFR2 ) in bone marrow tissues and the level of TGF-β1 in the blood of 23 patients with myelofibrosis were detected by SABC immunocytochemistry and ELISA repectively. Results　Expression of TGF-β1 and TGFR 1 was significantly higher in primary and secondary myelofibrosis patients than that of the control. No significant difference of TGFR2 expression was found between the groups of myelofibrosis and the control (P>0.05). The level of TGF-β1 in the blood of the patients with myelofibrosis was significantly higher than that of the control (P<0.01) and more obvious in secondary cases while TGF-β1 decreased nearly to the normal level when patients were in clinical remission. Conclusion　TGF-β1 and it's receptors may be involved in the pathogenesis of myelofibrosis and might be of importance for the prognosis of the patients with myelofibrosis.
