This paper summarizes the experience of professor LIU Shangyi in differentiating and treating rectal carcinoma from the perspective of "treating ulcers as tumors". It is believed that the manifestations of rectal cancer, such as anal itching, cauliflower-like or ulcerative tumors, and bloody stools, are similar to external skin itching, skin ulceration, swelling, and skin bleeding. Therefore, the treatment principles of sores and ulcers department can be applied to treat tumors. Following the diagnostic and treatment approach of dermatology regarding the clinical typical symptoms, for anal itching, the main treatment is to dispel wind and remove dampness, clear heat to relieve itching, using "skin medicinals" such as Difuzi (Fructus Kochiae) and Baixianpi (Cortex Dictamni), as well as wind medicinals such as Shengma (Rhizoma Cimicifugae) and Fangfeng (Radix Saposhnikoviae). For constipation, the method of clearing heat and resolving toxins, unblocking the bowels and discharging heat can be used, commonly using Baitouweng (Radix Pulsatillae), Donglingcao (Herba Rabdosiae Rubescentis) and Dahuang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei). In terms of mucosal ulcers, it is critical to differentiate between yin and yang; the treatment of yang ulcers should focus on clearing heat and resolving toxins, commonly using modified Xianfang Huoming Beverage (仙方活命饮); for yin ulcers, emphasis should be placed on removing dampness and resolving phlegm, commonly with modified Yiyi Fuzi Baijiang Powder (薏苡附子败酱散). For bloody stool, differentiation is made between deficiency and excess, with the use of Diyu (Radix Sanguisorbae) and Huaihua (Flos Sophorae) for excess syndrome to cool and stop blee-ding, and both herbs dry-fried until charred combined with liver-tonifying medicinals for deficiency syndrome

In order to explore the role of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3)in the infection process of porcine hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus(PHEV),Western blot,qRT-PCR and indirect immunofluorescence experiments were used to detect the phosphoryla-tion level and subcellular localization changes of STAT3 after PHEV infection.The replication of PHEV were examined in cells with STAT3 knockdown or overexpression,respectively.The results showed the phosphorylation level of STAT3 at tyrosine 705 was significantly increased after PHEV infection,and the expression of STAT3 in the nucleus increased.In addition,STAT3 knock-down in cells can significantly inhibit PHEV replication.The above results further reveal the path-ogenic mechanism of PHEV and provide a theoretical basis for the research of anti-PHEV drugs.

The SVA and different serotypes of VSV(VSNJV and VSIV)are susceptible to infect pigs and cause blister injuries to the lips and hoof of pigs.The clinical symptoms of diseases caused by these viruses are very similar,which is easy to cause misdiagnosis.Therefore,a multiplex nano-PCR method was developed for the simultaneous defection of VSV,VSNJV and VSIV.In this stud-y,three pairs of specific primers were designed according to the SVA-P gene,VSNJV-N gene and VSIV-N gene.The optimal annealing temperature and optimal primer concentration were tested,and the reaction system and conditions were optimized.We have developed a novel,rapid and sensitive multiple nano-PCR detection method for simultaneous detection of SVA,VSNJV and VSIV,which was developed by using nano-metal materials.The specific test results showed that the method could specifically amplify the target genes of SVA,VSNJV and VSIV,with no cross-reactivity to PRV,ASFV,PCV2 and PHEV.The sensitivity test results showed that the minimum nucleic acid detection of the method was 10 copies/μL,which sensitivity was great.In addition,the optimal primers showed good reactivity and stability to different batches of enzymes and plasmids.There were 7 among 50 of diseased pig samples were SVA positive by multiple nano-PCR detec-tion method,and 5 out of 50 of diseased pig samples were SVA positive by ordinary single PCR method.Moreover,no VSNJV and VSIV were detected by the two methods.In conclusion,this es-tablished multiple nano-PCR detection method has higher specificity and sensitivity in the detec-tion of SVA,VSNJV and VSIV.And this study could provide technical support for the rapid differ-ential diagnosis,prevention and control of swine viral vesicular diseases in clinical settings.
