Pulmonary interstitial fibrosis (PIF) is a common complication of connective tissue disease (CTD). The patients with PIF usually manifest with intensive dry cough, progressive dyspnea aggravated by activities, and even weight loss and very fatigued. In this paper, we have applied the traditional methods of "invigorating qi for ascending" and "strengthening earth to generate metal" with modif ied Shenxian decoction for treating CTD combined with PIF to support healthy energy, ascend thoracic qi, and ascend both qi of lung and spleen. We have observed Shenxian decoction could enhance body immune system, benefit the repair of damaged lung tissues, improve microcirculations, and treat both branch and root of body, which has been giving patients prominent effects.

OBJECTIVE:To provide new ideas for the supervision of TCM decoction for patients. METHODS:The mode of outsourced TCM decoction for patients in Nanjing and Hangzhou area were investigated and analyzed,especially their operation mode. The safety problems of quality of the mode were analyzed from the legitimacy and standardization. RESULTS & CONCLU-SIONS:The present problems include the mismatch of professional and technical personnel of TCM decoction pieces and their qua-lification requirements;the lack of communication of pharmacists and prescribers;no restrictions for outsourced decoction of toxic TCM decoction pieces for patients;the insufficient attention for the quality and safety of packaging materials;being difficult to im-plement the main responsibility of medical institutions,etc. It is suggested to establish the filing system of centralized TCM decoc-tion institution for patients;the stationed system of pharmacy technician in medical institutions;the training and evaluation system of dispensing,decocting and other stations;the regular inspection system of health and pharmaceutical administration department;the quality evaluation system of TCM decoction for patients by following up medical staff and patients. So that it can explore a new idea for monitoring ofclearing the powers of regulatory,full participation in medical institutions,standardization and management of pharmaceutical wholesale enterprises,active supervision by patients.

The study aims to screen the ability of the bacteria to metabolize ononin and assess the effect of ononin on the intestinal bacteria. Fresh human fecal sample was obtained from a healthy volunteer, diluted serially in sterile water and sixty-nine different bacterial colonies were picked out ultimately. UPLC-Q-TOF/MS with automated data analysis software (MetaboLynx) was applied to fast analysis of ononin metabolites. Furthermore, an E(max) precision microplate reader was employed to determine the growth situation of Enterococcous sp., Enterobacter sp., Lactobacilli sp., and Bifidobacteria sp. Results indicated that hydrogenation, demethylation, hydroxylation and deglycosylation were the major metabolic pathways of ononin by human intestinal bacteria in vitro. Ononin can inhibit the growth of pathogen such as Enterococcus sp., Enterobacter sp. and can promote the growth of probiotics such as Bifidobacteria sp. and Lactobacilli sp. This study suggested that intestinal bacteria have the metabolic effects of ononin and the biotransformation was completed by different bacteria. And ononin can affect the balance of intestinal flora and the degree of influence varies depending on the bacterial species and the concentration of ononin.

Objective To investigate the expression and the clinical significance of Lewis y antigen and Mucin 1 (MUC1),as well as to evaluate the correlation between them in epithelial ovarian tumor.Methods The expression of Lewis y antigen and MUC1 in 60 cases of epithelial ovarian malignant tumors,30 cases of borderline ovarian tumors,30 cases of benign ovarian tumors and 20 cases of normal ovarian tissues were detected by immunohistochemical staining.The relationship between Lewis y antigen and MUC1,and their relationship with biology characteristic of ovarian carcinoma were analyzed.An immunofluorescence double labeling methods was performed to detect the correlation between Lewis y antigen and MUC1.Results In malignant epithelial ovarian tumors,the positive rates of Lewis y antigen was 88.33％,which was significantly higher than the positive rates in borderline(60.00％,x2 =9.6405,P ＜0.01) and benign ovarian tumors(33.33％,x2 =28.8095,P ＜0.01) and normal ovarian samples (0,x2 =52.3457,P ＜ 0.01).The positive rates of Lewis y antigen had nothing to do with the clinical pathological parameters of ovarian tumor,but the expression intensity of Lewis yantigen was increased with the development of the malignant degree(P ＜ 0.05).The positive rates of MUC1 in malignant epithelial ovarian tumors was also significantly higher than that in borderline,benign ovarian tumors and normal ovarian samples (86.67％ vs 53.33％,30.00％,25.00％,x2 =12.0321,29.4064,27.8464 ; P ＜0.01).And the expression intensity of MUC1 also increased with the development of clinical stage(P ＜0.01),but had nothing to do with the lymph node metastasis and histological grade(P ＞ 0.05).In ovarian cancer,both Lewis y antigen and MUC1 were highly expressed,and their expression levels were positively correlated (r =0.707,P ＜0.01),and Lewis y antigen colocalized with MUC1.Conclusion Both Lewis y antigen and MUC1 are associated with the occurrence and development of ovarian cancer.Lewis y antigen and MUC1 might be a sigh of biological behavior in ovarian cancers,and this study provides theoretical evidence of ovarian cancer biological treatment.

The relation between left atrial (LA) size and myocardial pathological changes, and clinical implications were studied in 25 patients with- rheumatic mitral stenosis. The results showed that LA size was significantly correlated with pathological severity of myocardium (P 100 ml/m2 and accompanied by moderate or severe pathological changes easily suffered from Af (P200ml/m2 and severe pathological changes. The results suggest that occurence of Af may be predicated based on the LA volume and Af cardioversion should be selectively performed to obtain better results.

Objective To explore the possible mechanism of Jianyi Recipe for improving the function of islet cells from the aspects of synthesis,secretion and inactivation of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1).Methods The diabetic rat model was established by feeding with high-lipid food combined with injection of streptozotocin (STZ).The rats were randomly divided into model group,Jianyi Recipe group,and normal group.The treatment for the rats lasted for 4 weeks.The blood glucose level was detected by the rapid blood glucose meter.The plasma levels of GLP-1 and insulin were detected by Luminex liquid phase protein chip technology.Pancreatic duodenal homeobox-1 (PDX-1) mRNA expression level was detected by quantitative real-time fluorescence polymerase chain reaction (PCR).The level of GLP-1 in ileum L cells was detected by immunohistochemistry,and dipeptidyl peptidase Ⅳ (DPP-Ⅳ)level was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results Jianyi Recipe could decrease the levels of fasting blood glucose and postprandial glucose (P ＜ 0.05),promote the secretion of insulin (P ＜ 0.05),and increase PDX-1 mRNA expression level in the pancreas of the diabetic rats.Compared with the model group,plasma GLP-1 level,and ileal GLP-1 positive expression area and integrated optical density were increased (P ＜ 0.05) in Jianyi Recipe group,while the differences of serum DPP-Ⅳ levels were insignificant between the two groups (P＞ 0.05).Conclusion Jianyi Recipe maybe regulate the synthesis and secretion of GLP-1 to promote PDX-1 gene expression and insulin secretion,so as to reduce blood glucose in diabetic rats.

Objective To explore the value of DWI (diffusion weighted imaging,DWI) in diagnosis of bladder cancer in clinical T stage by comparing DWI and CT.Methods Seventy-five patients with bladder cancer underwent MRI plain scan,enhanced diffusion-weighted imaging and CT scan,to make a diagnosis preoperative clinical T stage according to their image.Then we compared the diffusion-weighted imaging and CT results with pathological staging results to assess the value of DWI in bladder tumor staging.Results For clinical T staging bladder cancer,the diagnostic accuracy rate was 83.5％ and 72％ for DWI and CT,resectively,statistical analysis showed a significant difference (P ＜0.05).Conclusion Magnetic resonance diffusion weighted imaging can accurately diagose the clinical T stage of bladder cancer,and has a higher value than CT.

The pathogenesis of HBsAg (+)/HBsAb (+) double positive hepatitis B virus infection was investigated by simulating HBsAg/HBsAb coexistence in vitro and establishing HBsAg/HBsAb double positive model in vivo. Eukaryotic expression plasmids PCI-SY, PCI-adw, PCI-adr, PCI-ayw, which expressed S gene product of different serotypes, were constructed and transfected into HepG2 cells. Recombinant proteins were purified from the transfected cells. At the same time, HBsAg mouse antiserum was obtained by immunizing mice with PCI-SY plasmid. HBsAg/HBsAb coexistence was simulated using these antigens and antiserum. Furthermore, the expression plasmids expressing different serotypes of S gene product including PCI-adw, PCI-adr, and PCI-ayw were injected into mice via tail vein. HBsAg and HBsAb in mice sera were tested at the first and 7th day respectively after antigen plasmids injection. Both in vitro simulation and in vivo animal models demonstrated that HBsAg antigen and HBsAb of the same serotypes could not coexist, but HBsAg antigen and HBsAb of different serotype could coexist. HBsAg/HBsAb double positive hepatitis B virus infection could be due to infection of viruses of different serotypes.
