It is proposed that although allergic rhinitis manifests primarily in the nasal orifices, its root lies in deficiency of the lung and spleen and insecurity of the lung defensive qi, while deficiency of healthy qi with latent pathogen, triggering by external stimuli, and constraint of defensive yang constitute the key pathogenesis. The onset of disease is not caused solely by newly contracted external pathogens. Rather, on the basis of insecurity of the lung-defense qi, external stimuli such as wind-cold and abnormal qi, dust mites, pollen, and sudden climatic changes, activate the latent pathogen, resulting in constraint of defensive yang, disharmony between nutritive and defensive qi, impaired diffusion of lung qi, failure to contain body fluids, and dysfunction of the nasal orifices. The disease progression can be summarized as following steps, deficiency of healthy qi with latent pathogen, activation by external stimuli, constraint of defensive yang, dysfunction of the nasal orifices, incomplete elimination of the pathogen and incomplete recovery of healthy qi. The general therapeutic principle is to consolidate the defensive qi and vent the latent pathogen while regulating the lung and nasal orifices simultaneously. The empirical prescription Xingui Fangzhi Decoction (辛桂防芷汤) is used as the basic formula and modified dynamically according to the attack and remission stages. During the attack stage, treatment focuses on dispelling wind and cold, regulating defensive qi, and venting the latent pathogen; during the remission stage, it emphasizes supplementing qi, consolidating the defensive exterior, and reinforcing the spleen to resolve the latent pathogen.

Taking the theory of zang-qiao (脏窍, viscera and orifices) as the framework, this paper elaborates on the connotation and expression of the holistic concept of zang-qiao. It expounds the concept from two dimensions, which are "integration of viscera and orifices" and "integration of the seven orifices", and explains the diagnostic and therapeutic approach characterized by "inferring the condition of the viscera through the orifices and conducting comprehensive diagnosis" in the context of ear, nose, pharynx and larynx diseases. Moreover, it explores specific therapeutic strategies for orifice-related diseases in otorhinolaryngology, including treatment of the orifices via viscera, simultaneous treatment of viscera and orifices, and external therapies targeting the orifices, which provides a multidimensional thinking model and practical path for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

【Objective】 To analyze the metagenomics and microbiology of voluntary blood donors in China, so as to assess the potential threats of emerging infectious diseases to the safety of blood transfusion. 【Methods】 12 300 plasma samples (10 mL each) collected by central blood stations in Chongqing, Liuzhou, Urumqi, Mianyang, Wuhan, Nanjing, Mudanjiang, and Dehong Prefecture area from 2012 to 2018 were subjected to total DNA extraction after ultracentrifugation (32 000 rpm/min, centrifugal radius 91.9 mm) in minipools of 160 donations. The metagenomic library was constructed, and deep sequencing was conducted by Illumina Hiseq 4 500. By comparing with reference sequences of bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses, metagenomic data were analyzed, classification of microbes were identified, and potentially harmful pathogens were evaluated. 【Results】 A total of 632 GB clean data were obtained by deep sequencing, and the top three pathogens were Pseudomonas(0.561 1%), Burkholderia(0.468 7%) and Serratia(4.242 0%). Pathogens with potential threat which could be transmitted by blood transfusion or blood products were found, such as human parvovirus B19(0.126 6%), Leishmania spp(1.348 5%) and Toxoplasma gondii(0.615 8%). 【Conclusion】 Our study analyzed metagenomics of voluntary blood donors in parts of China and revealed pathogens that may cause potential harm to blood safety, which were helpful for targeted prevention and control of emerging infectious diseases.

Objective We aimed to analyze the relationship among all types of HPV and cervical cancer and predict potential high-risk HPV based bioinformatics methods.Provide theoretical basis for clinical prevention and early diagnosis for cervical cancer.Methods A total of 131 types HPV gene sequences from GenBank were downloaded.HPV phylogenetic tree were constructed use the MEGA software.Results Current global HPV can be divided into five categories according to complete gene molecular evolution analysis,high-risk types HPV are height together.Further to the mucous membrane affinity types HPV gene analysis shows that the evolution of the E6,E7 gene closer to the distribution of the whole genome evolution tree.We predict the HPV 26,34,53,66,67,97 have potential dangers with cervical cancer.Conclusion Building the HPV data based on the analysis of molecular evolution method of HPV affinity relationship with cervical cancer.Provide theoretical foundations for HPV clinical prevention and treatment of cervical cancer.

Objective To estimate the value of diffusion weighted imaging with background body signal suppression(DWIBS)in tumors of intestinal tract and metastasis.Methods 15 cass with tumors of intestinal tract underwent MRI and DWIBS examinations.Four of them underwent CT scan.Results All primary tumors were showed by conventional MR sequences and DWIBS.DWIBS showed that 4 cases had the invasion of placenta percreta,5 cases had transcoelomic metastasis in abdominal cavity and 5 cases had lymphatic metastasis,while the conventional MR sequences showed the invasion of placenta percreta in 10 cases,the invasion of fat interspace in 8 cases,transcoelomic metastasis in abdominal cavity in 3 cases and lymphatic metastasis in 3 cases.Conclusion DWIBS is better than the conventional MR sequences and CT in detecting the primary tumor of intestinal tract,transcoelomic metastasis in abdominal cavity and lymphatic metastasis.However,the conventional MR sequences and CT is better than DWIBS in detecting the invasion of placenta percreta and fat interspace.
