Yang being solid is an important summary of the normal functional state of yang qi in The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic.Based on the theory of yang being solid and able to hold on,it is proposed that yang being solid is essential to maintain the state of tightness,thoroughness and quietness for maintaining the health of the human body.Yang losing its solidity is the core patho-genesis of the onset and progression of malignant tumors,which manifests as yang deficiency,yang depression and yang restlessness.If yang is not solid due to its deficiency,yang will lose its warmth and defense and the evil qi will be retained;if yang is not solid due to its depression,yang will lose its warmth and circulation and phlegm and stasis will gather;if yang is not solid due to its restlessness,yang will lose its tranquility,burn yin and consume essence.Aiming at the core pathogenesis of yang losing its solidity,the treatment methods of warming yang and replenishing qi to treat the disease before it occurs,unblocking yang and removing turbidity to disperse the staleness,and clearing and resolving restless yang to fight cancer and detoxify are used in clinical practice.Restoring the solidity of yang is taken as the goal of treating malignant tumors,which provides ideas for the clinical practice of treating malignant tumors with traditional Chinese medicine.

Oral and maxillofacial space infection(OMSI)as a mostly mixed infection,often requires the combination of anti-aerobe and an-ti-anaerobe antibiotics.The use of third-generation quinolones,such as levofloxacin,is limited in OMSI due to the tendon rupture and other serious adverse drug reactions(ADR).In the treatment of a case with OMSI and anaphilactic shock induced by levofloxacin,the association evaluation method of ADR and literature review method participated by clinical pharmacists were used.Suggestions on rational drug use and ADR treatment were gained,the patient was timely rescued from anaphylactic and cured of OMSI.

Objective:To investigate the changes of the plasma matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 levels and their clinical significances during the course of concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients.Methods:From January 2018 to June 2019, 46 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma were treated in the department of oncology, Changsha Central Hospital Affiliated to Nanhua University. All patients were confirmed by pathology. They were divided into early NPC group ( n=32) and invasive NPC group ( n=16) according to the degree of invasion. The early NPC group was treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy alone, and the invasive NPC group was treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Blood samples were collected at four stages of the treatment, and the concentrations of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results:The longer the treatment time, the lower the concentration of MMP-9 ( P=0.007) in early NPC group; There was no significant difference in MMP-9 level before treatment, after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, after concurrent chemoradiotherapy, at the end of treatment and the first follow-up ( P>0.05) in invasive NPC group. There was no significant difference in the content of MMP-2 between the two groups before and after treatment ( P>0.05). There was no correlation between serum MMP-2 and MMP-9 levels and tumor stage, lymph node metastasis, tumor invasion and response rate ( P>0.05) in invasive NPC patients, while the level of MMP-9 was positively correlated with white blood count (WBC) and neutrophil count ( r=0.85, P=0.004, r=0.82, P=0.003); The ratio of MMP-9/MMP-2 was positively correlated with WBC and neutrophil count ( r=0.86, P=0.003, r=0.83, P=0.001). Conclusions:Synchronous radiotherapy and chemotherapy can reduce the serum MMP-9 level in early stage NPC patients, but it has no effect on the serum MMP-9 level in patients with invasive NPC, which suggests that synchronous radiotherapy and chemotherapy can not prevent the proliferation and distant metastasis of cancer cells in patients with invasive NPC.

Forty-two patients with type 2 diabetes (DM group),23 type 2 diabetic patients with unstable angina pectoris (DM + UAP group),and 36 healthy subjects (control group) were enrolled in this study.Serum samples were collected for determining serum concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),Angiopoietin (Ang)-1,Ang-2,angiogenin,angiostatin,basic fibroblast growth factor,and platelet-derived growth factor-BB using protein array technology.The results showed that there were no significant differences in serum concentrations of all 7 angiogenic factors between control group and DM group.Whereas,serum concentrations of V EGF and Ang-2 were significantly increased in DM + UAP group compared with control group [(3 532.10 ± 1 813.72vs 2 444.50 ± 1 152.21) pg/ml,(286.90-± 217.01 vs 171.92 ± 106.63) pg/ml,both P＜0.01].Pearson's correlation analysis revealed that serum concentrations of all 7 angiogenic factors were not related to HbA1C,fasting and 2 h postprandial plasma glucose,triglycerides,high density lipoprotein cholesterol,as well as low density lipoprotein cholesterol.

Objective To detect the changes in serum concentrations of angiogenic factors in patients with unstable angina pectoris.Methods A total of 57 patients with unstable angina pectoris were eligible for study and divided into diabetes group (n =23) and non-diabetes group (n =34).Exclusion criteria included complicated diseases,symptomatic peripheral vascular diseases,renal or liver diseases,cerebral embolism and evidence of ongoing infection.Another 36 age-matched healthy subjects from medical examination center were enrolled as control group.Serum samples were collected,and serum concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),angiopoietin-1,angiopoietin-2,angiogenin,angiostatin,basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) were measured by using cytokine array technology.The data were analyzed by independent-samples t test with the SPSS 13.0statistic software package.Results Compared with the control group,the serum concentrations of VEGF and angiopoietin-2 were significantly increased in patients with unstable angina pectoris (both P ＜ 0.01).Whereas,no significant differences in serum concentrations of angiogenin,angiopoietin-1,angiostatin,bFGF,and PDGF-BB were detected between control group and patient groups.There were no significant differences in serum concentrations of above all 7 biomarkers between diabetes group and non-diabetes group.Conclusions Serum concentrations of VEGF and angiopoietin-2 were increased in patients with unstable angina pectoris,and diabetes didn' t affect the increases in serum concentrations of VEGF and angiopoietin2 caused by unstable angina pectoris.

In order to meet the requirements of medical teaching contents and curriculum system reform, we adopt the experience ofHarvard University School of Medicine to integrate Biochemistry and Cell Biology into a new one—— "Chemistry and Biology of theCell". We have carried out the integration of the two courses three times. In this new course, repeated contents have been reduced, thelinkage of the two courses has been increased, and the burden of students was lightened,which makes students contact the clinic earlierand enables to improve the students' ability to solve problems.
