Chinese Acupuncture & Moxibustion 2014;34(11):1135-1140
In order to understand the research status of HUANG Fu-mi's A-B Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, 83 pieces of literature that have been publically published since 1978 were analyzed. A summary was performed according to 7 aspects including version origin, emendation, arrangement and summary, theory discussion, clinical research, value evaluation, the rest questions, etc. It is believed that deep research work has been done on explanations, emendation and translation regarding A-B Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion. However, the exploration work on the theory and application is far from enough. Therefore, beginning from historical and cultural background, we should analyze the humanistic spirit of HUANG Fu-mi combined with A-B Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion to perform a deep exploration, so we could have a thorough and comprehensive research on HUANG Fu-mi's academic thoughts.

Objective The feasibility and effectiveness of bilingual teaching combined with CBL (case-based learning) was evaluated in our study. Methods From 2011 to 2012, 69 students from Shanghai Jiaotong University were randomly divided into Bilingual CBL group (36 students) and Chinese CBL group(33 students). A case of salvage of multiple trauma patients was selected as a text-book case and students' acceptance to textbooks and teachers was assessed. Besides, students' self-evaluation, teachers' evaluation of students, students' achievement in procedures and the final theory test scores were evaluated as the outcome of the assessment. Results Students' acceptance of textbook in Bilingual CBL group is lower than that in the Chinese CBL group(P=0.035). Differences in students' evaluation of teacher (P=0.093), students' self-evaluation (P=0.816), and teachers' evaluation of the student(P=0.812) were not statistically significant. Final written examination scores(P=0.100), operat-ing procedures in tracheal intubations (P=0.489), and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (P=0.764) were not statistically different . Only central venous puncture showed a statistical difference ( P=0 . 011 ) . Conclusions Medical bilingual CBL teaching is feasible, without affecting the original teaching of medical knowledge. Bilingual teaching can improve students' English proficiency and enhance their interest in learning.

Abstract: Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of the bacterial strains isolated from blood cultures in neonatal septicemia children of Neonatology Department, the First People's Hospital of Chuzhou during Jan. 2017-Dec. 2021, in order to guide clinical rational drug use. Methods The distribution and the results of antimicrobial susceptibility tests and characteristics of the pathogenic bacteria isolated from blood culture samples in neonatal septicemia children in the First Hospital of Chuzhou from Jan. 2017 to Dec. 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The results were analyzed with WHONET 5.6 software, according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) 2021 breakpoints. Results A total of 189 strains were isolated from the 4 538 sample of blood cultures, the positive rate was 4.2%, including 59(31.2%) Gram-negative bacterial strains, 130 (68.8%) Gram-positive bacterial strains. The most frequently isolates were coagulase-negative staphylococci(64.0%), Serratia liquefaciens (15.9%), Escherichia coli (3.2%), Acinetobacter lwoffii (2.6%) and Delftia acidovorans (2.6%). The prevalence of methicillin-resistant isolates was 81.8%(99/121) in coagulase-negative Staphylococci and 25.0%(1/4) in Staphylococcus aureus. No staphylococcal strains were found resistant to vancomycin, quinupristin-dalfopristin or linezolid. The sensitivity of the antibacterial drug monitored by Serratia liquefaciens was 100.0%.Conclusions Gram-positive bacterial are the main pathogen of neonatal septicemia, and is highly resistant to the common antibacterial drugs. The clinical should choose antibacterial agents reasonably according to drug sensitivity.

Though parched Chinese herbal medicines contain less effective or index components, their pharmacological actions do not reduce or even become improved to some extent. However, the current studies related to material basis could not explain the changes in property, flavour and efficacy of parched Chinese herbal medicines. Meanwhile, due to the lack of objective and specific evaluation indexes, the quality evaluation could not reflect features of parched Chinese herbal pieces. Therefore, how to break the bottleneck for the studies on parched Chinese herbal pieces, make further innovation and conduct in-depth studies on the material basis of parched Chinese herbal medicines are common problems that medical scholars are facing. According to the findings in the previous studies, the author proposed to explain the material basis of parched Chinese herbal medicines by studying Maillard reaction and establish specific quality evaluation indexes according to the features of parched Chinese herbal pieces, and conducted relevant studies.

Objective To observe the effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 on the expressions of transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1), fibronectin(FN),and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) in rats with diabetic nephropathy(DN), and to elucidate the protective mechanism played by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. Methods DN models were estabolished by injecting streptozotoein ( STZ ) into male SD rats, which were divided into TGF-β1 overexpression group, TGF-β1 overexpression plus vitamin D3 group, TGF-β1 low-expression group, TGF-β1 low-expression plus vitamin D3 group, TGF-β1 normal-expression group, and TGF-β1 normal-expression plus vitamin D3 group. After 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 treatment for 37 days, renal function and blood biochemical parameters were evaluated. The morphology and fibrosis of kidney tissues were observed. The expressions of TGF-β1, FN, and VEGF in kidney cortex were measured by immunohistochemistry, realtime PCR, and Western blotting. Results The levels of cholesterol, triglyceride, creatinine,plasma glucose, HbA1C , and 24 h urinary protein were lower in vitamin D3treated groups than those in corresponding control groups(P<0. 05). The degree of renal fibrosis was raised with the increased level of TGF-β1. Vitamin D3 treatment decreased the fibrosis in diabetic kidney. There were significant differences in the mRNA and protein expressions of TGF-β1 in three control groups(P<0. 05). With the increased levels of TGF-β1, the expressions of FN and VEGF were increased. The expressions of TGF-β1, FN, and VEGF were lowered by vitamin D3compared with the corresponding control groups(P<0. 05). Conclusion 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3 may protect the renal tissure in diabetic rats via inhibiting the expressions of TGF-β1, FN, and VEGF in the kidney.
