Professor Jin Shi-yuan has been worked in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) over 70 years. He made prominent contributions in identification, processing, dispensing of TCM and reasonable use proprietary Chinese medicine. In over 70 years, he has mastered herbal medicine and traditional Chinese Medicine. It is also professor JIN's academic characteristic. Professor JIN's practical experiences were summarized according to the current situation about clinical medication, change of species of Juhong and Chenpi has been different from species of medical history. The quality is lower than before. Medicinal parts of Danggui, Gancao, Huangqin and Wuyao has been changed. So the actions of these herbal medicines have been changed also. Fresh herbal Qianchangpu has disappeared but it should be used clinically. Medical history, change of species, change of medicinal part, and change of preparing process in professor JIN's academic idea were be summarized periodically. The result is hoped to be referred by administration, manufacture, medical treatment of TCM.

Objective To investigate the effects of RNA interference(RNAi)targeting human epithelial growth receptor-2(HER-2)gene on the invasive and chemotactic ability of SKOV3 cells. Methods Glyeeraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase(GAPDH)was used as the positive control. Lipofectamine 2000 mediated transient transfection was conducted to transmit the siRNA into SKOV3 cells. Three pairs of specifically targeted(HER-2 siRNA Ⅰ,HER-2 siRNA Ⅱ,HER-2 siRNA Ⅲ)sequence were selected in the coding region of HER-2 mRNA.Transfection of HER-2 siRNA was conducted with lipofeetamine 2000 in ovarian carcinoma cell line SKOV3.The HER-2 gene expression was assessed by real- time PCR and western blot assays.Changes of invasive and chemotaetie capacity of SKOV3 cells were measured by polycarbonates coated with or without matrigal.Results Western blot results showed that the expression of GAPDH protein was decreased in specifically transfected cells and with the increase of siRNA dose,the expression of GAPDH protein was decreased.GAPDH protein gray value in control group, different doses(0.5,1.0,1.5,2.0 ?g)GAPDH siRNA interference groups were 0.6855?0.0259,0.5698 ?0.0275,0.4542?0.0296,0.3341?0.0178 and 0.1816+0.0180,respectively.There was a significant difference in each group(F=198.126,P

Objective To investigate the clinical and image features of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) presented as isolated intracranial hypertension.Methods The medical records of patients with diagnosis of CVST presented as isolated intracranial hypertension were reviewed.Clinical features and imaging data were retrospectively analyzed.Results Twenty cases of CVST were included,all these patients were clinically presented as isolated intracranial hypertension.The male to female ratio was 13:7,and the average age was (38.3 ± 11.7) years old.None of the patients was obesity.The visual acuity was lower than 0.1 in 42.5％ (17/40)of the eyes.Possible risk factors relevant to CVST were found in 11 cases (55％),including head trauma for 4 cases,autoimmune disease for 2 cases,and other causes of single case including spontaneous abortion,phlebitis,otitis media postoperative,trigeminal nerve microvascular decompression surgery and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.Image analysis showed that lateral sinus thrombosis was involved in 85％ (17/20) of the patients,while superior sagittal sinus was involved in 35％ (7/20),and 65％ (13/20) of the patients were isolated lateral sinus thrombosis.Conclusions Young male predominance is found in CVST patients which presented as isolated intracranial hypertension but severe visual function loss.Risk factors such as head trauma are commonly found in these patients.Most of the patients are isolated lateral sinus thrombosis,with lateral sinus narrowing as the most common abnormal findings in magnetic resonance venogram.

Objective To determine the role of human serum albumin therapy in the post-operative management of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) associated with cirrhosis.Methods Between January 2011 and December 2012,we treated 171 consecutive cirrhotic patients with HCC.88 patients were treated with 5％ human serum albumin for 48 hours followed by 20％ human serum albumin in the post-operative period (the observer group) ; 81 patients were only treated with 20％ human serum albumin during the same time duration (the control group).The prognosis,complications,average amount of human serum albumin and plasma used as well as the in-hospital stay were observed.Results There were no deaths or major complications in either of these 2 groups.After treatment,the observer group was lower than the control group in the amount of intravenous fluid infused,the volume of peritoneal drainage,the amount of human serum albumin and plasma used as well as the mean post-operative hospitalization days (P ＜ 0.05).At the same time,the daily urine output,the central venous pressure and the mean arterial pressure within 48 hours after surgery were higher in the observer group than the control group.Furthermore the observer group had a smoother post-operative recovery in liver function,and the difference was significant between the two groups (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Not only did treatment with 5 ％ and 20％ human serum albumin gave the advantages of a more stable blood circulation,better organ perfusion and improved liver function recovery but it also reduced the amount of consumption of human serum albumin and plasma and shortened the hospital stay.

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are myeloid neoplasms characterized by dysplasia in one or more linages of cells and increased risk of development of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Along with the deeply understanding of myelodysplastic syndrome, the diagnosis standards of this disease experienced a leap in essence: from a single standard of morphological test in FAB to multiple detecting means in WHO standard of 2008, flow cytometry has been proposed as an adjunctive diagnostic test in the 2007 Vienna standards and the 2008 WHO standards. Recently, A heterogeneous spectrum of immunophenotypic abnormalities have been reported in MDS, and some of which are of great significance to the diagnosis, classification, prognosis assessment, and treatment of the disease. In the year of 2003, a flow cytometric scoring system (FCSS) was built to evaluate the prognosis of MDS patients, which was able to qualify the phenotypic aberrancies in the myelomonocytic, erythroid, and megakaryocytic lineage. It filled the gap of the international prognostic scoring system (IPSS) and the WHO classification-based prognostic scoring system (WPSS), and was of great value to the clinical diagnosis and treatment of MDS. In this article, the value of MDS immunophenotyping in diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of MDS is reviewed in term of MDS immunophenotypic abnormalities and flow cytometric scoring system.

Objective To explore the effects of beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP17) peptide on the changes in the expressions of phosphoinositide 3-kinase(PI3K), protein kinase B(PKB) and phosphorylation of cAMP response element binding protein (p-CREB) in the neurons of hippocampal gyms in rats after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Method Twenty-one Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups, namely the sham-operated control group, the resuscitation group and resuscitation with APP17 peptide-treated group. The rat model of asphyxial cardiac arrest was made by clamping the endotracheal tube and the standard external cardiopulmonary resuscitation ( CPR) was performed until the restoration of spontaneous circulation ( ROSC) observed.ROSC was defined by the appearance of normal QRS waves of electrocardiogram and mean artery pressure ( MAP)≥60 mmHg for more than 10 minutes. Rats of resuscitation group and control group received intravenous 0.9%NaCl, and the rats of the APP17 peptide group were treated with APP17 peptide(10μg·300 g~(-1), i. v.) after ROSC. Rats were sacrificed by decapitation after reperfusion 2 hours and then the cerebral hippocampal gyrus was immediately separated to detect PI3K, PKB and p-CREB by immunohistochemistry ( IHC) and Western-blot analysis. Statistical comparisons were made by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) . Results IHC showed that there was no significant difference in PDK positive cells between resuscitation group and control group (2.75 ±1.80 vs. 2.53 ± 1.53, P > 0.05) . The PDK obviously more increased in the APP17 peptide group than in resuscitation group(5.85 ± 2.83 vs. 2.75 ± 1.80, P < 0.01) .The counts of PKB and p-CREB positive cells were obviously lower in resuscitation group than those in control group (2.45 ± 1.36 vs. 5.22 ± 2.50, P < 0.05);(2.41 ± 1.11 vs. 8.31 ±3.02, P < 0.01 ). The PKB and p-CREB positive cells were significantly higher in the APP17 peptide group than in resuscitation group (9.66±4.32 vs. 2.45 ±1.36, P < 0.01);(14.18 ± 3.96 vs.2.41 ± 1.11, P <0.01). The PKB and p-CREB protein levels in resuscitation group were lower than those in the control group. Conclusions The expressions of PKB and p-CREB in neurons of hippocampus gyrus 2 hours ROSC, and APP17 peptide could restorer the expression of PDK, PKB and p- CREB and thereby protect the neurons of hippocampus gyrus from the injury of CPR.
