As the actual clinical reflecting of transform Chinese medicine special curative effect, Chinese medicine preparation not only satisfies the need of hospital clinic, scientific research and teaching, but also plays an important role in deepening medical and health system reform, improving people's health level and contributing to the economic growth. However, some problems about administration and approval (tending to western medicine), contraction of the scale, lack of synchronization for clinic and scientific research, and the imbalance of regional development make Chinese medicine preparation move forwards slowly in contradiction. It has not only reduced the effectiveness of the Chinese medicine preparation in hospital clinic, but also brought bad effect on modernized development of Chinese medicine preparation. Research shows that main influencing factors of status quo of Chinese medicine preparation in medical institution include imperfect laws and regulations, high cost than income, and shortage of talents in preparation research. The analysis indicated that the necessary measures to break the contradiction, improve clinical effect of Chinese medicine, and promote the modernization development of Chinese drugs preparation were as follows: government and related departments should strengthen the supporting force in policy by adjusting the examination and approval policy, speeding up dispensing use, reforming pricing system, including into medicare reimbursement, integrating advantage resources and so on; medical institution should actively carry out research and development of traditional Chinese Medicine through drawing the traditional and modern essence, reserving professional talents, and developing characteristic preparation; companies cooperate with hospitals for complementary advantages, which can rapidly transform Chinese medicine preparation into clinical practice.

Qi in TCM is the most essential substance that makes up the body and maintains life activities. All vital substances in the body are transformed by constant motion and changes of qi. Qi in TCM mainly means full of functions. What is the basic material attribute of qi? We don't have a systematic study on it. Therefore, we combined the achievement of modern medicine, and explored further from the origin, functions, pathogeneses, and therapies of mitochondria and qi. Surprisingly, we found out that the origin of mitochondria was similar to that of qi. They are tiny substance constituting the human body. Secondly, the function of mitochondria is similar to that of qi. When the disorder of qi and mitochondria occurs, similar vital signs occur or the same reactions occur. These results suggested that the basic material attribute of qi might be mitochondria.

This review focus on the progress of the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome by using positive airway pressure and upper airway multilevel surgeries. OSAHS is a disease caused by multiple etiologies. We should consider upper airway anatomical abnormalities and the severity of OSAHS before reasonable treatment plans were formulated. "PAP-surgery-PAP" is the classic procedure for treating moderate OSAHS and severe OSAHS. Preoperative use of PAP could reduce the hypoxic condition of patients and decrease surgical risk. Surgery can effectively reduce the optimal PAP pressure value, and increase the tolerance of patient. Postoperative use of PAP can improve surgical efficacy, shorten patient recovery time. However, the influence of different surgical methods on optimal PAP pressure value is lacking in large samples. More related studies need to be per formed in the future.

Objective Recent researches show that bone sialoprotein is closely related with metastasis of breast cancer to bone. In order to investigate the effect of bone sialoprotein in the course of metastasis of breast cancer to bone, the following study was undertaken. Methods The growth curve, clone formation and adherence of breast cancer cells experiments were carried out to study the effect of hBSP over-expression on biological behaviors of breast cancer cells. Results It was found that breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231BO(pI) and MDA-MB-231BO(pID) stably transfected with hBSP cDNA were not inhibited through proliferation assay of breast cancer cells. The activity and tumorigenicity of breast cancer cells with hBSP over-expression were enhanced. Comprising with MDA-MB-231BO non-transfected the colony formation percentage of breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231BO(pI) and MDA-MB-231BO(pID) increased from 8.90%?0.53% to 15.6%?0.94% and 12.8%?0.77%. The OD_ 620 value of adherence of breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231BO(pI) and MDA-MB-231BO(pID)increased from 0.29?0.017 to 0.52?0.031 and 0.43?0.026 respectively in cells attachment assay, which suggested that over-expression of hBSP enhances breast cancer cell MDA-MB-231BO adherence and attachment property. Conclusion The study results suggested that hBSP over-expression had autocrine effect on breast cancer cells and could enhance the ability of breast cancer cells metastasizing to bone.

In this study, we examined the effects of aspirin on the growth rates, subcellar distribution of beta-catenin protein, the expression of beta-catenin/TCF signaling pathway target gene cyclinD1 mRNA, and cell cycle of Jurkat cell line (Human T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia). Our results showed that the treatment with aspirin inhibited the growth of Jurkat cell line. Jurkat cells treated with 3 mmol/L of aspirin could significantly decrease nuclear localization of beta-catenin, and at 5 mmol/L of aspirin, the nuclear localization of beta-catenin was undetectable. QRT-PCR showed that the target gene cyclinD1 mRNA expression was gradually decreased with the dosage of aspirin. Aspirin induced G0/G1 cell cycle arrest in Jurkat cells. We are led to conclude that aspirin acts through beta-catenin-independent mechanisms. The effects of aspirin include down-regulation of beta-catenin nuclear localization and G0/G1 cell cycle arrest, which might serve as a means of growth inhibition in aspirin-treated human Jurkat cell line.

Objective The K-ras gene plays a major role in the development , progression, and drug selection for the target treatment of colorectal cancer .The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of detecting K-ras mutation in colorectal cancer by high-resolution melting ( HRM) analysis and to investigate the relationship between K-ras mutation and the clinicopathological parame-ters of colorectal cancer. Methods We collected the tissue samples of colorectal cancer from 179 patients, detected the mutations in codons 12 and 13 of the K-ras gene, and analyzed the relationship between K-ras mutation and the clinicopathological parameters of the patients. Results In the 179 cases of colorectal cancer, K-ras mutation was found in 77 (43.02%), significantly higher in those aged ≥60 years than in those aged <60 years (55.17% vs 33.70%, P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed a significant influence of age on K-ras mutation (OR=1.506, 95%CI:1.028-2.011, P<0.05). Conclusion HRM analysis is a rapid, sensitive, and inexpensive diagnostic tool for the detection of K-ras mutation, and K-ras mutation is associated with the age of colorectal cancer patients .
