Comparative medicine is a new crossing frontier branch subject based on laboratory animal science,and the content,aim and request of its research have been remarkably different from that of laboratory animal science.Acting as the methods,means and support conditions of advancment and development of medicine research,comparative medicine is an important platform ensuring the sustainable development of medicine,and is imperative for the medico to be educated with systemic comparative medicine.

AIM:To study whether or not Huangshao Yinxue Granula(HYG) has the therapeutic effect on experimental psoriasis. METHODS: The mice were treated with HYG 3.125,6.25,12.5,and 25 g/kg(i.g.) for 1 or 2 weeks.We studied the effects of HYG on mitosis in mice vagina epithelium,the formation of granular layer in scale epidermis of mice tails,the changes in CD3, CD4 and CD8 factors of the serum in psoriasis-like mice and guinea-pigs. RESULTS: HYG could inhibit the mitosis in mice vagina epithelium,promote the formation of granular layer in scale epidermis of mice tails.It could also diminish the value of serum CD4/CD8 of mice to regulate abnormal immune reaction.HYG had evident therapeutic effect on the ear skin damaged with 5% propanolol in psoriasis-like guinea-pigs. CONCLUSION: HYG has therapeutic effect on psoriasis-like animal models.

Orally disintegrating tablets (ODT), a kind of new solid tablet that rapidly disintegrates to work in the mouth, has became the hot form of new drug research in recent years with many advantages, such as the convenient taking, a widely applicable people, fast acting, high bioavailability, good compliance, and so on. ODT has been widely used in chemical medicines, while the application of it in traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) is still in the stage of development The development of TCMs ODT provides a new direction for the research of Chinese medicine new dosage, accelerates the pace of connecting to the world and modernization of Chinese medicine. This dosage has a broad market prospect, and its quality control and assessment standards, taste, the disintegration time in vitro and evaluation method are the key factors that affect the industrialization, standardization of Chinese medicine ODT. Therefore, this paper reviewed the characteristics, preparation, taste masking technology and quality evaluation with new technology of ODT. Meantime, numerous application examples of ODT used in traditional Chinese medicine were described. We expect to provide the reference and utilization for the development of traditional Chinese medicine orally disinteeratine tablets.

Objective Investigate and intervene the psychological health state of clinical trainees in the hospital of Yuxi City, in order to explore the method to improve the psychological health and clinical quality of teaching. Methods From 2009 to 2013, clinical trainees were investigated by SCL-90. Intervention for interns included holding psychological health lectures and making psychological counseling for the serious interns. At the same time, the teachers were trained to carry out two-way intervention between the teachers and clinic interns and to improve clinical interns' psychological health. Results Before the intervention,among 216 interns,34 (15.74%) showed positive. Except fear factor, other factors were significantly different than national norms ( <0.05). After the intervention, among 149 interns, 20 ( 13.42%) showed positive. Obsessive-compulsive symptom, depression,anxiety,hostility, spirit factors and the mean scores were all lower than before ( <0.05),similar to the national norm.Conclusion Clinical trainees have prominent psychological problems. Teaching hospitals should pay more attention to psychological health of them. Intervention is necessary and effective in improving psychological health and quality of teaching.

Chinese medicine prescriptions are the wisdom outcomes of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) clinical treatment determinations which based on differentiation of symptoms and signs. Chinese medicine prescriptions are also the basis of secondary exploitation of TCM. The study on prescription helps to understand the material basis of its efficacy, pharmacological mechanism, which is an important guarantee for the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine. Currently, there is not yet dissertation n the method and technology system of basic research on the prescription of Chinese medicine. This paper focuses on how to build an effective system of prescription research technology. Based on "component structure" theory, a technology system contained four-step method that "prescription analysis, the material basis screening, the material basis of analysis and optimization and verify" was proposed. The technology system analyzes the material basis of the three levels such as Chinese medicine pieces, constituents and the compounds which could respect the overall efficacy of Chinese medicine. Ideas of prescription optimization, remodeling are introduced into the system. The technology system is the combination of the existing research and associates with new techniques and methods, which used for explore the research thought suitable for material basis research and prescription remodeling. The system provides a reference for the secondary development of traditional Chinese medicine, and industrial upgrading.
