Autophagy， a mechanism of cell self-protection and self-renewal， is associated with the occurrence and development of lung cancer. Favorable autophagy can slow down the progression of lung cancer， while unfavorable autophagy can promote the progression. Therefore， regulating the level of autophagy is of great significance in the treatment of lung cancer. Healthy Qi deficiency and pathogenic Qi stagnation is an extension of the theory of deficiency and Qi stagnation proposed by the Academician WANG Yongyan. It refers to the pathological process that the abnormal body fluid metabolism caused by Qi deficiency of lung， spleen， and kidney results in phlegm and blood stasis. Lung cancer has the root cause of Qi deficiency of lung， spleen， and kidney and the syndrome of phlegm and blood stasis. The autophagy in lung cancer is interconnected with healthy Qi deficiency and pathogenic Qi stagnation. The Qi deficiency of lung， spleen， and kidney is the key factor for the weakening of favorable autophagy in lung cancer， which inhibits the apoptosis of tumor cells and leads to the accumulation of harmful substances. Phlegm and blood stasis is a direct factor enhancing the unfavorable autophagy in lung cancer， which promotes the autophagic death of normal cells， weakens the immunosuppressive effect of immune cells on tumor cells， and leads to the proliferation and migration of tumor cells. The combination of healthy Qi deficiency and pathogenic Qi stagnation results in the development of autophagy in an unfavorable direction and finally leads to the continuous progression of lung cancer. Therefore， the traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） treatment of lung cancer should follow the principle of reinforcing healthy Qi and expelling pathogenic Qi， removing phlegm and resolving stasis， so as to enhance favorable autophagy while inhibiting unfavorable autophagy. Such therapy can inhibit the proliferation and migration of tumor cells and promote the remission of lung cancer. According to the existing literature， Chinese medicine monomers are mainly used to treat lung cancer by regulating autophagy. The Chinese medicine intervention of autophagy in lung cancer mainly aims to promote the activation of autophagy. This may be because the favorable autophagy weakening caused by the Qi deficiency of lung， spleen， and kidney is the fundamental reason for the development of lung cancer.

Bipolar disorder （BD） is a serious chronic emotional disorder with a high suicide rate and a common psychiatric disease. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） treatment based on syndrome differentiation of BD has unique advantages and good safety， which is expected to become a breakthrough in the treatment. Based on Expert Consensus on TCM Syndrome Differentiation Criteria for Bipolar Disorder by Professor Yin Dongqing and Professor Jia Hongxiao， this study collated the treatment protocols of BD with various syndrome types according to Meta-analysis of the existing literature in the database and evaluated the evidence level according to the evidence evaluation standard issued by the US Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality （AHRQ）. （1） Depression attack. ① Liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome： Xiaoyaosan pills or Shugan Jieyu capsules， ② Phlegm dampness and spleen stagnation syndrome： Wendantang modified with Tianwang Buxindan， ③ Heart and spleen deficiency syndrome： Jiuwei Zhenxin Granules or DANG's Ganmai Dazhaotang， ④ Fire heat and internal depression syndrome： Danzhi Xiaoyaosan Granules or Chaihu Longgu Mulitang， ⑤ Liver and kidney deficiency syndrome： JIANG's Buganshen Decoction. （2） Mania episode. ① Heart and liver fire hyperactivity syndrome： Zhengan Ningshen Formula， ② Phlegm heat harassing spirit syndrome： Huatan Xiehuo Dingshen decoction， Lianzhi Tongqiao Anshen decoction， Qingshen Dingkuang decoction or Qingshen Xingnao decoction， ③ Liver and gallbladder dampness-heat syndrome： Longdan Xiegantang. （3） Other syndrome types. ① Liver qi stagnation syndrome： modified Tongqiao Huoxue decoction， Shengyang Yiwei Acupuncture， ② Deficiency of kidney yang syndrome： Jingui Shenqitang， ③ Phlegm accumulation and blood stasis syndrome： modified Tongqiao Huoxue decoction， ④ Qi and Yin deficiency， stagnation of blood stasis syndrome： Xinnaoxin pills， ⑤ Syndrome of blood deficiency generating wind and fire heat harassing spirit： Fangji Dihuangtang.

Bipolar disorder （BD） is considered to be mainly related to qi， phlegm， fire and deficiency. Binding constraint of liver qi is the initial cause， while phlegm and qi interact obstruction as well as phlegm and fire interact binding is the key pathogenesis of the transformation between depression and mania， and deficiency of both qi and yin is the main reason of the protracted course of disease. In clinical practice， BD is divided into binding constraint of liver qi pattern， phlegm and qi interact obstruction pattern， phlegm and fire interact binding pattern， and deficiency of both qi and yin pattern， which can be treated with Jinyu Shugan Powder （金玉疏肝散）， Kaiyu Wendan Decoction （开郁温胆汤）， Qingxin Huatan Decoction （清心化痰汤）， and Baihe Shengmai Beverage （百合生脉饮） in their modifications respectively； moreover， Guanye Jinsitao （Herba Hyperici Perforati） is usually used to rectify qi， relieve phlegm and clear heat. It is also suggested to put focus on the prevention and treatment of qi， phlegm and heat simultaneously， and modify the medicinals flexibly in accordance with the pathogenesis evolution and the abnormal exuberance.

Objective To investigate whether the change of cardiac output (CO) with bed head raising (BHR) combined with passive leg raising (PLR) can be used to assess volume overload in critical patients.Methods A prospective observational diagnostic trial was designed. The patients who underwent fluid resuscitation 6 hours or more, and admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of Meizhou People's Hospital in Guangdong Province from January to December in 2016 were enrolled. Volume overload were identified with the criteria including the increasing of pulmonary rales, the higher levels of N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and new pulmonary exudates in chest radiograph. CO and heart rate (HR) were monitored with impedance cardiography at supine position and BHR by 30°(BHR30), 60° (BHR60), and PLR in all patients. The changes of CO (?CO30,?CO60,?COPLR) and HR (?HR30,?HR60,?HRPLR) were calculated at different positions. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the predictive values of?CO30,?CO60 and combination of?CO60 and?COPLR on volume overload.Results A total of 62 patients were enrolled in this study, with 44 males and 18 females, age of (58.9±15.9) years, a body mass index of (22.7±2.4) kg/m2, and an acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score of 18.7±4.4. The CO of 32 patients with volume overload was significantly increased at BHR30 or BHR60 compared with supine position [?CO30 was (14.5±11.5)%,?CO60 was (26.9±17.5)%, bothP< 0.01], and the?CO60 was increased more than the?CO30 (P < 0.01);while CO was slightly decreased after PLR,?COPLR was (-8.4±11.3)% (P > 0.05). There was no consistent change of CO at BHR30 or BHR60 compared with supine position in 30 patients without volume overload,?CO30 was (-3.4±9.1)% (P < 0.05),?CO60 was (-2.4±14.0)% (P > 0.05), while CO was significantly increased after PLR,?COPLR was (12.4±11.3)% (P < 0.01). There was no significant change of HR after BHR and PLR in patients with volume overload and non volume overload. ROC curve showed that when the cut-off value of ΔCO30≥3.3%, the area under ROC curve (AUC) was 0.903±0.039, the sensitivity was 90.6%, the specificity was 80.0%, and the accuracy was 85.5% for predicting volume overload; when the cut-off value of ΔCO60≥5.6%, the AUC was 0.911±0.036, the sensitivity was 96.9%, the specificity was 73.3%, and the accuracy was 85.5% for predicting volume overload. If volume overload was assessed by the increase of ΔCO60 combining with the decrease of ΔCOPLR, the AUC was 0.928±0.034, the optimal cut-off value for the new combined predictive indicator in predicting volume overload was -0.008, and the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy was 96.9%, 83.3%, 90.3%, respectively, and its evaluation effect is better than the use of ΔCO30 or ΔCO60 alone.Conclusion The change of CO with BHR combined with PLR can be used to accurately evaluate volume overload in patient with critically illness.

BACKGROUND:The ankle is one of the most important joints of human body. Medial maleolar fractures are very common, and there are lots of surgical methods to treat it. A traditional approach is open reduction and internal fixation. As views changed, percutaneous cannulated screw internal fixation become increasingly popular, but various clinical studies are stil needed to analyze the efficacy of these two methods. OBJECTIVE:To compare the recovery of joint function after medial maleolus fracture repaired by open reduction and internal fixation and percutaneous cannulated screw fixation. METHODS:A total of 63 cases of medial maleolus fracture, who were treated in the Department of Orthopedics, People’s Hospital of Xinyi City from March 2009 to March 2013, were enroled. According to repair plan, they were divided into two groups: open reduction and internal fixation group (n=29) and percutaneous cannulated screw fixation group (n=34). Ankle function was assessed in accordance with Kofoed ankle score standard on admission and at 3 months after repair. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The patients were folowed up for 3 to 12 months. Among 29 cases in the open reduction and internal fixation group, the wound was healed at grade A in 27 cases and at grade B in 2 cases; 29 cases were reset, and no poor reduction was found. In the percutaneous cannulated screw fixation group, 34 cases had healing at grade A, with the presence of good reduction. Al patients experienced bone union, and no infection appeared. In accordance with Kofoed score, at 3 months of folow-up, the satisfaction rate was 97% in the open reduction and internal fixation group, and 100% in the percutaneous cannulated screw fixation group. These data suggest that both open reduction and internal fixation and percutaneous cannulated screw fixation for medial maleolus fracture obtained positive effects, but percutaneous cannulated screw fixation showed smal surgical trauma, which could reduce the rate of infection and contributed to early functional recovery of ankle joint.

Objective To observe the levels of serum VEGF in different molecular subtypes of breast cancer and explore its relationship with response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Methods Levels of serum VEGF in 110 cases with breast cancer underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy were detected by ELISA prior to and after 3 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Clinical response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy was evaluated by physical examination and ultrasonography. Results Levels of serum VEGF were significantly increased in breast cancer patients with≥4 lymph node metastasis than those with < 4 lymph node[(307.31 ± 101.42) pg/mL vs. (170.16 ± 73.07) pg/mL,P = 0.017]. Patients with positive HER-2 status had significantly higher levels of serum VEGF than those with HER-2 negative status [(235.15 ± 88.42 ) pg/mL vs. (179.82 ± 69.90) pg/mL, P = 0.024]. No significant difference was observed among age , menopausal status and hormone status. In patients with neoadjuvant chemotherapy of cCR and Cpr,the mean levels of serum VEGF were (205.75 ± 78.12) pg/mL and (226.04 ± 89.04) pg/mL, respectively. After 3 cycles of chemotherapy, levels of serum VEGF decreased to (145.15 ± 67.08) pg/mL and (161.27 ± 93.57) pg/mL. There was significant difference between two groups (P=0.009,0.014). In patients with SD or PD response, no significant difference was observed between levels of serum VEGF before and after chemotherapy (P = 0.577). Conclusions Levels of serum VEGF in breast cancer correlate with lymph nodes metastasis and HER-2 status and may decrease after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. However,whether or not the levels of serum VEGF can be used as a biomarker for response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy needs more further studies.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the application of flaps or musculocutaneous flaps in repairing cervical postradiation ulcer (cpu) at nasopharyngeal carcinoma. METHOD: Deltopectoral flaps and pectoralis major flaps were applied to repair cervical radiation ulceration with different size and depth in 19 cases. RESULT: Twelve cases repaired with deltopectoral flaps and 7 cases repaired with pectoralis major flaps, impaired wound healing happened at distal end of one deltopectoral flap, and the wound was healing hy second intention after debridement and dressing change. All the other deltopectoral flaps and pectoralis major flaps stayed alive. Flaps stayed alive without the recurrence of ulcer after the long-term follow-up for one to ten years. CONCLUSION The effectiveness of cervical radiation ulceration reconstruction by deltopectoral flaps and pectoralis major flaps was proved. The reconstruction could prevent the recurrence of ulcer. Refer to the poor prognosis of chronic radiation ulceration with expectant treatment, precautions do count.
