Vascular remodeling is an important pathological link of maintaining and developing high blood pressure. TCM has the advantage of comprehensive regulation effects with multiple channels, multiple links and multiple targets. Applying TCM treatment in vascular remodeling is a good point cut in the prevention and treatment of hypertention. This article reviewed the research status of TCM treatment of vascular remodeling in hypertention, with a purpose to provide ideas for clinical application and further research.

The "Wu Chang" thought is a core idea in Chinese Confucian morality system,which plays a critical role in establishing and further developing traditional Chinese medical ethical principles,doctors′ professional obligations,behavioral regulations,professional requirements,and physician-patient relationship.Therefore,it is also of positive referencing and revealing significance for fully understanding the modern doctors′ professionalism and responsibilities raised by the "Doctors′ Declaration of Doctors′ Professionalism in the New Century".

Objective To observe the effects of recombinant human erythropoietin(rh-EPO) on immune function of cyclophosphamide-treated mice.Methods Six-week-old mice were randomly divided into 4 groups.Cyclophosphamide plus normal saline group(CTX(+NS));cyclophosphamide plus lower and higher dosage rh-EPO group(CTX+LDrh-EPO and CTX+HD rh-EPO);normal saline control group(NS).The changes of Hb,WBC,red blood cell immune function((C_3b)-R%),T lymphocyte proliferative responsiveness optical density index A(A score),IL-2,TNF-? of 4 groups were observed.Results The CTX + NS group showed lower levels on Hb,WBC,C_(3b)-R%,A score,IL-2 and TNF-? compared with NS normal control group(P0.05).There were positive correlation between C_(3b)-R% and Ascore,C_(3b)-R% and IL-2.Conclusions 1.Cyclophosphamide treated mice have lower Hb,WBC,C_(3b)-R%,A,IL-2 and TNF-? secretion.2.rh-EPO administration have improvements with Hb,RBC immune function,T lymphocyte proliferative responsiveness and IL2 production.

Previous research rcvealed that distortion is detected in transient voltage signal recorded with traditional patch clamp amplifier under current clamp mode, which is essentially resulted by electronic design of the headstage of the patch clamp. A new kind of headstage is designed to modify the defect, the circuit of which not only measures the transient potentials as the classical voltage follower does but also is quite suitable for the standard voltage-clamp mode. Furthermore, the technique of voltage-clamp-controlled current-clamp is applied for modifying the conventional patch-clamp amplifier, the variable low-pass filter is added into the circuit to reduce the response speed of voltage-clamp module, thus the transient potentials changes can be measured while membrane potential is kept at a constant value. Bridge balance circuitry is designed to eliminate the voltage drop while the variable current injected into the electrode. And fast capacitance compensation stage of conventional PCA is modified to nentralize the capacitance and accelerate system response speed for current-clamp mode. The experirnental results on cell model demonstrate that modified PCA meets the rcquirement of monitoring transient potential changes in electrophysiology research.

As the fourth member of the globin family, cytoglobin ( CYGB) is a hypoxia-induced gene, and its expression is upregulated under hypoxia.CYGB is widely distributed in the living body and has a variety of physiological functions, such as anti-oxi-dative stress, anti-fibrosis, and neuroprotection.It also plays a protective role in cardiovascular disease, cancer, and other hypoxia-re-lated diseases.This article presents an overview on the structure and distribution of CYGB, its physiological functions of anti-fibrosis, anti-cancer and muscle regeneration, and the regulation and the mechanism of its expression under hypoxia.

[Objective] To summarize the clinical experience on treating thoracic spinal little joints disorder by manipulation of embracing cervical and extracting chest. [Method] To col ect and analyze the theory and methodology of Pro.Fan's clinical treatment on thoracic spinal little joints disorder. [Result]Professor Fan has rich clinical experience for many years in the study and treatment of spinal diseases. He puts forward theories of“close relationship between symptoms with etiology”and“correct spinal little joints disorder”, that is to say, considering symptoms to detect it's etiology, thinking etiology to find out it's dislocation, the method of treatment is removing pathogeny, etiology is removed, symptoms are removed. Based on the theory, Pro.Fan invents the manipulation of “embracing cervical and extracting chest”to treat thoracic spinal little joints disorder.And this manipulation has significant effect on clinic. [Conclusion] Pro.Fan has great innovation on treatment of thoracic spinal little joints disorder and the manipulation of“embracing cervical and extracting chest”has significant effect on clinic.

[Objective]To evluate the influence of subacromial space caused by the relative position of acromion and humeral head,and to provide theoretical guidance for diagnosis,prevention and treatment of subacromial impingement syndrome.[Method]From October 2006 to March 2007,31 shoulders(13 men and 18 women with average age of 54.3)with subacromial impingement syndrome,from our department,were selected to form the patient group,An age and gender-matched of 40 asymptomatic shoulders(18 men and 22 women with average age of 52.8)formed the control group.The acromion index was measured on the Grashey view.The distance from the glenoid plane to the lateral border of the acromion was divided by the distance from the glenoid plane to the lateral aspect of the humeral head to calculate the acromion index.[Result]The average acromion index(and standard deviation)was(0.72?0.05),in patient group,(0.61?0.04)in the asymptomatic,normal shoulders.The difference between the index in the shoulders with subacromial impingement syndrome and the index in normal shoulder was highly significantly(P
