Four key attributes,position,rate,shape and force,are programs of pulse tracing put forward by ZHOU Xue-hai,a medical practitioner in late Qing dynasty.The essences of four key attributes are'images'of di erent levels.There are complex relationships between pulse tracing and position,rate,shape and force attributes,which include not only subordinate relationship and static-dynamic relationship between four attributes but double relationship between four attributes and pulse tracing.

? AlM: To investigate the therapeutic effects of Pranoprofen on tear dynamic abnormity induced by conjunctivochalasis ( CCh) .
?METHODS: Seventy cases ( 70 eyes ) whose the main symptoms was epiphora induced by CCh were divided into II, Ⅲ and Ⅳ in 3 groups according to Zhang’s grading standards, meanwhile, all the patients were treated with the eye drops of Pranoprofen for 2wk. After that, the curative effect of each group was analyzed before and after treatments according to the symptoms, dye disappearance test, bitter taste test and tear break-up time.
?RESULTS: After 2wk treatment of Pranoprofen, the symptom of patients at grade I and II improved obviously grade Ⅲ improved more, grade Ⅳ did little. The positive rate of dye disappearance was the highest in grade II, the second in grade Ⅲ, and the third in gradeⅣ. There was significant difference among the 3 groups (P<0. 05). The time of bitter taste test was shortened (P<0. 05) and the tear break-up time was prolonged (P<0. 05) in grade II after treatment, however, the time of those in gradeⅢandⅣhad not changed than before ( P>0. 05).
?CONCLUSlON: Pranoprofen has good effects on tear dynamic abnormity induced by grade II of cch.

Objective To assess the application of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in evaluation of the renal cortical and medullary perfusion changes before and after acute renal failure (ARF) in rabbits. Methods Rabbit ARF models were established with intramuscular 50% glycerin (12-15 ml/kg) injection into rabbits' thighs. One day before and after ARF models establishment, CEUS was performed on each rabbit. The renal perfusion time-intensity curve (TIC) was analyzed, including parameters like AT (arrival time), TTP (time to peak intensity), A (amplitude of peak intensity), AUC (area under the curve), β (slope rate of TIC) of renal cortex and medulla. Results The value of A and β before model establishment was (17.36±13.73) dB and (5.38±2.08) dB/s, respectively, both was significantly higher than those after glycerin injection ([6.59±4.25] dB and [1.58±1.41] dB/s, respectively) (P<0.05). The value of TTP and AUC before model establishment was (2.46±1.76) s and (329.31±171.70) dBs, both was significantly lower than those after injection ([5.93±4.80] s and [722.28±354.14] dBs, respectively) (P<0.05). No significant difference was found in AT of renal cortex and AT, A, TTP, AUC, β of renal medulla, nor in SCr or BUN. Conclusion CEUS can display the changes of perfusion image of the renal cortex of the ARF earlier than SCr and BUN.

Objective To investigate the hepatoprotective effects of total flavonoids in Scorzonera austriaca Wild (TFSA) in vivo and in vitro. Methods In vivo, ICR mice were randomly divided into negative, model, positive, TFSA’s low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups,and acute chemical liver injury models were constructed with CCl4 and acute autoimmune liver injury models with Bacillus Calmette-Guerin vaccine ( BCG ) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS).The activity of serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was detected and liver tissue was used as biopsy.In vitro, liver cells of Wistar rat were extracted and isolated by orthotopic collagenase digestion method, and liver cell damage was induced with CCl4.Then the liver cells were cultured with TFSA solution and the contents of AST, ALT, LDH, nitric oxide (NO), superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the supernatant and malondialdehyde (MDA) in rat hepatocyte were detected.Results The results of CCl4-and BCG+LPS-induced acute chemical liver injury models in mice showed that there were less microstructures damage of liver tissue in TFSA groups compared with model group in liver pathological sections (HE), AST, ALT and LDH levels in model group were significantly higher than those in negative group (P<0.01), the above indexes in positive drug group were significantly lower than those in negative group (P<0.01,P<0.05), and the above indexes in TFSA’s low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups were significantly lower than those in model group(P<0.01,P<0.05).The results of CCl4-induced rat hepatocyte injury in vitro showed that AST, ALT, LDH, MDA and NO levels were significantly higher and SOD level was lower in model group than those in negative group (P<0.01), AST, ALT, LDH, MDA and NO levels were significantly lower and SOD level was higher in positive drug group than those in model group (P<0.01, P<0.05), and AST, ALT, LDH, MDA and NO levels were significantly lower and SOD level was higher in TFSA ’ s low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups were significantly lower than those in model group ( P <0.01, P <0.05 ) .Conclusion TFSA have hepatoprotective effects on CCl4-induced chemical liver injury and BCG+LPS-induced immune liver injury in mice, and rat hepatocyte damage.This study provides experimental data for the development and utilization of Scorzonera austriaca Wild resources and new hepatoprotective medicines.

Objective To investigate the current status of coal-burning endemic fluorosis and the fluoride content in foods and drinking water in Hongya County,Sichuan Province.Methods Dental fluorosis and urinary fluoride were suveyed in children of 8～12 years old in two schools which repectively located in Gaomiao and Wawushan Town.The adults above 20 years old underwent clinical examination.At the same time,fifty adults above 20 years old in Garden Village were chosen to take forearm and calf X-ray films to find out the evidence of skeletal fluorosis.The content of fluoride in food such as bacon,corn,dry capsicum in Sanxing Village in Gaomiao Town and Futian Village in Wawushan Town as well as drinking water in five families in Sanxing Village were determined.Results The dental fluorosis rate of children was 40.76%(161/395),the dental fluorosis index was 0.86 in Gaomiao Town.The dental fluorosis rate of children was 14.36%(82/571),the dental fluorosis index was 0.31 in Wawushan Town.The medium value of the urine fluoride was 0.81 mg/L.ranged 0.16～3.89 mg/L.The positive rate oi the clinical examination of skeletal fluorosis was 5.27%(27/512),the X-rays detective rate was 4.00%(2/50).The medium value in bacon,corn,dry capsicum were 6.00,0.64,1.49 mg/kg.The averaged content of the fluoride in drinking water(0.14±0.06)mg/L of local household was within the eligible limitation.Conclusions It is currently a mild endemic disease in Hongya Country,its incidence is reduced apparently,pathogenetic environmental fluoride content is reduced.The main source of fluoride is from the preserved ham contaminated with fluoride,which is epidemiologically significant in endemic area of Hongya County.Defluoriding countermeasures should be taken in the endemic areas.
