Objective To investigate the distribution of traditional Chinese medical syndrome patterns of dengue fever, thus to standardize its clinical diagnosis and treatment and to enhance its therapeutic effect. Methods A prospective clinical trial was carried out in 210 dengue fever patients who were admitted from July to October of 2014. The clinical data of four physical examinations were collected and analyzed for the analysis of the distribution of syndrome patterns. Results ( 1) The traditional Chinese medical syndromes of 210 dengue fever patients were characterized by fever and aversion to cold, heaviness of limbs, poor appetite, headache and heaviness of head, abdominal fullness and discomfort, yellowish urine, yellowish and greasy fur, sluggish pulse. ( 2) The syndrome patterns of dengue fever were classified into blockage of damp-heat, disease involving both defensive phase and qi phase, heat attacking qi phase, heat attacking blood phase, toxicity invading pericardium, and sudden loss of yang-qi. The incidence of six patterns was in decreasing sequencing. ( 2) The results of laboratory examination showed that the decrease of white blood cell ( WBC) , neutrophil percentage and platelet count was obvious, and the haematocrit ( PLT) became disordered. The results of recheck showed taht the increase of calcitonin and C-reactive protein were not obvious, and the damage of vital organs was less. Conclusion Dengue fever can be classified into the damp-heat pestilence in traditional Chinese medical field. The syndrome patterns of dengue fever are dominated by blockage of damp-heat, and disease involving both defensive phase and qi phase, and correspondingly, the therapeutic methods should be focused on clearing heat, resolving dampness, and strengthening spleen.

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is characterized by emotional regulation, interpersonal relationship, self-image and impulse control instability. It is a mental disorder with high morbidity, high mortality and difficult treatment. Psychotherapy is the main treatment for this disease. However, current mainstream psychotherapy, such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), has certain limitations, so it is necessary to find a more convenient and effective treatment method. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), as the representative therapy of the third generation of cognitive therapy, aims to make individuals accept inevitable pain, find their own value and commit to action, and finally improve their psychological flexibility to live a meaningful life. ACT has been used in the treatment of a variety of mental disorders, and the effect is significant. By expounding the pathogenesis of BPD and the theoretical model of ACT, this paper analyzed the rationality and feasibility of ACT intervention in BPD from the pathological model and treatment model of ACT. Finally, the research results of ACT treating BPD in recent years were summarized. The results show that ACT provides a promising method for the treatment of BPD patients, however, more studies are needed to prove its use in this group and its specific mechanism.

Obje:ctive To establish an optimized method to isolate, culture and identify human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) in vitro and induce their osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation. Methods The hUCMSCs were isolated from human umbilical cord by digestion with collagenase. After serial subcultivation in vitro, the stem cells were passaged. Morphologic appearance of hUCMSCs was observed under an optical microscope and atomic force microscope. The proliferation rate was measured by MTT assay. Cell cycle and surface antigens were measured by flow cytometry. The osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation was tested and evaluated by specific staining methods. Results The isolation of hUCMSCs by digestion with collagenase was efficient. After seeded for 24 hours, the adherent cells showed spindle shape and fibroblast cell-like shape and the size of hUCMSCs was homogeneous. The similar growth curves of passage 3 and 7 exhibited a great potential for proliferation. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that CD29, CD44 and CD105 were highly expressed on the surface of passages 3 cells, but the expression was negative for CD34, CD45 and HLA-DR. After culture in inducing medium, the cells were successfully induced into osteogenic and adipogenic lineages. These cells were highly positive for alkaline phosphate staining and also showed mineralization presented with von kossa staining after 4 weeks' culture induction of osteogenic differentiation. Furthermore, liquid vacuoles were detected by oil red O staining after 3 weeks' culture induction of adipogenic differentiation. Conclusion An in vitro method for isolation and purification of hUCMSCs from human umbilical cord has been established. The cultured cells were composed of only undifferentiated cells and their biological properties were stable. The hUCMSCs are expected to be a new type of stem cells of tissue engineering.
