Objective Based on the Traditional Chinese Medicine Inheritance Support System (TCMISS) (V2.0), to analyze the point-selection rules in acupuncture-moxibustion prescriptions for gastroptosis indexed by China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang and Vip databases, and to obtain novel prescriptions, for providing clinical references. Method Acupuncture-moxibustion prescriptions for gastroptosis indexed by CNKI, Wanfang and Vip databases were collected and filtered, and then input into the TCMISS. The prescriptions were analyzed by using data mining method. Result The frequency and core combination of the commonly-used acupoints were determined out of the 76 eligible prescriptions for gastroptosis, and 3 novel prescriptions were obtained. Conclusion The TCMISS is an important tool in mining and analyzing the point-selection rules in acupuncture-moxibustion treatment, and the new acupoint prescriptions generated by this system provide references to the treatment of gastroptosis.

Objective To explore and summarize the heart-shape anastomosis for hirschsprung′s disease .Methods Before the operation,the colon was cleaned thoroughly ,31 cases of this group (8 month-6 years old)underwent colonic pull-through and the dilated segment of colon was pulled out and resected.Normal colon and lower segment of rectum′s stomosis were stomosed as heart-shape (higher anterior and lower posterior).After replacing the colon and stomosis ,close the abdomen layer by layer.Results All 31 cases anus sphincter muscle were retained at most degree,so that retained their function of normal defecation .All 31 cases were healed and discharged, without one case with early complications as stomosis fistila,et al.No stomosis stenosis or other late period complication were found in 24 cases with long period follow-up.Conclusions Heart-shape stomosis is a good method for hirschsprung′s disease,especially fitful to the common type and short-segment type and long-segment type with diseased part in sigmoid colon .This method is easy,convenient,no special equipment was needed,easy to be publicized.

Objective To investigate the TNF-? expression in hepatic tissue of Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty(OLETF) rats(an insulin resistance model) with abnormalities of glucose-lipid metabolism and effect of metformin on TNF-? expression.Methods OLETF rats were randomly assigned to two groups(OLETF and OLETF/M).The OLETF/M group was treated with metformin [100 mg/(kg?d)],the OLETF group and age-matched LETO(nondiabetic Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka rats) group were fed with placebo.Twenty-two weeks after treatment,we analyzed hepatic triglyceride level and measured expression of TNF-? by western-blot(protein) and quantitative RT-PCR(mRNA).Results Twenty-two weeks after treatment,the level of fasting glucose,insulin,triglyceride,free fatty acids(FFA) and hepatic triglyceride increased significantly in OLETF group as compared with LETO group.Western-blot method showed upregulated expression of TNF-? protein in OLETF group(1.57-fold vs LETO group,P

Background and purpose:RASSF10 acts as a kind of tumor suppressor in various tumor tissues, but researches in cardiac adenocarcinoma has not been reported. This study aimed to detect the methylation status and expression ofRas-association domain family 10 (RASSF10) in gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA), and explore its role in occurrence and development of GCA.Methods:Methylation speciifc polymerase chain reaction (MSP), reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry method were respectively used to detect methylation status, mRNA expression and protein expression ofRASSF10 in 81 GCA tissues and corresponding normal tissues.Results:The promoter methylation frequency ofRASSF10 in GCA tissues (64.20%, 52/81) was signiifcantly higher than that in corresponding normal tissues (20.99%, 17/81,P<0.05), and was closely correlated with TNM stages, differential degree and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). RASSF10 mRNA expression in GCA tissues (0.57±0.05) was significantly lower than that in corresponding normal tissues (0.78±0.02,P<0.05), and was closely correlated with TNM stages and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). Protein expression of RASSF10 in GCA tissues (31.10%, 26/81) was signiifcantly lower than that in corresponding normal tissues (71.60%, 58/81,P<0.05), and was closely correlated with TNM stages, differential degree and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). The promoter methylation frequency ofRASSF10 in GCA tissues was inversely related to its protein expression.Conclusion:Inactivation of RASSF10 caused by aberrantmethylation in the promoter region may be closely correlated with the GCA tumorgenesis.

A moderately halophilic bacterium strain DF-B6 capable of degrading Tween 20 was isolated from solar saltern brine by plate method.Based on the phenotype,physiological and biochemical character-istics,and the phylogenetic analysis of 16S rDNA sequence,strain DF-B6 was identified as Idiomarina.The substrate specificity test showed that the lipolytic enzyme from strain DF-B6 was an esterase,and not a li-pase.The maximum esterase activity was observed in 8% NaCl concentration at 50?C,pH 8.0.The effect of various divalent cations was studied on the activity of esterase from Idiomarina sp.DF-B6 at the concentra-tion of 10 mmol/L,Mg2+,Ca2+ and Mn2+enhanced the esterase activity,while Zn2+,Fe3+ and Cu2+ inhibited its activity.

BJECTIVE: To explore the effect of different convergent conditions on accuracy of simulation results from a three dimensional finite element model of the pelvic ring.METHODS: A first-order linear load of 600 was applied on the S_1 vertebral endplate in an established three-dimensional finite element model. The step length was set to 0.1 s. The boundary condition was set as constraint of 6 degrees of freedom in the proximal femur. Static and dynamic explicit convergences with 6 different weight scale factors were calculated retrospectively,and all the simulated results were compared with the experimental results in order to verify the accuracy. RESULTS: The static convergence predicted most accurate with the linear regression coefficient 0.88. With the increase of weight scale factor, the time cost decreased. However, the accuracy of the predicted results decreased. There was statistically difference between the simulation results and experimental results when the weight scale factor achieved 3 000 (P<0.05) and the coefficient of linear regression was lower than 0.8.CONCLUSION: It suggested that as for the complex finite element model, especially when the model contains complex contact conditions, dynamic explicit convergence can be an alternative solution to static convergence if the latter failed. Also proper weight scale factor should be used to decrease the time cost under the condition that the error was in the limited.
