The objective of this study was to investigate the diagnostic significance of EBV antibody combined detection for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in a high incidence region of southern China. Two hundred and eleven untreated NPC patients, 203 non-NPC ENT patients, and 210 healthy controls were recruited for the study. The titers of VCA/IgA and EA/IgA were assessed by immunoenzyme assay, and the levels of Rta/IgG and EBNA1/IgA were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The levels of VCA/IgA, EA/IgA, Rta/IgG and EBNA1/IgA demonstrated no association with gender or age (p>0.05). The receiver operating characteristic curve and the area under the curve were used to evaluate the diagnostic value. The sensitivity of VCA/IgA (98.1%) and the specificity of EA/IgA (98.5%) were the highest. When a logistic regression model was used to combine the results from multiple antibodies to increase the accuracy, the combination of VCA/IgA+Rta/IgG, whose area under the curve was 0.99, had the highest diagnostic efficiency, and its sensitivity, specificity and Youden index were 94.8%, 98.0% and 0.93 respectively. The data suggest that the combination of VCA/IgA+Rta/IgG may be most suitable for NPC serodiagnosis.

Throughout this paper, I adjusted the study of 'Qian Yi'(錢乙)'s Medical Thought, and the following is the summary. 1. 'Qian Yi' wrote 'Xiao Er Yao Zheng Zhi Jue'("小兒藥證直訣", edited by 誾季忠), and there were 'Shang Han Lun Zhi Wei'("傷寒論指微"), 'Ying Ru Lun', however those are loss of the record. 2. Qian Yi's 'Zhi Jue'("直訣") was influenced by 'Lu Xin Jing', yet if we compare the quality of 'Sheng Li, Byeng Li, Bang Jae'(生理, 病理, 方劑), 'Lu Xin Jing' cannot be the foundation of 'Zhi Jue'. He took over 'Nei Jing, Shang Han Lun, Jin Gui Yao Lue, Shen Long Ben Cao Jing, Tai Ping Sheng Hui Fang'("內經", "傷寒論", "金?要略", "神膿本草經", "太平聖惠方") and put them together to the direct clinical experiences of pediatrics. 3. There is no reference regarding the difficulties of pediatric diagnosis and diseases in 'Huang Di Nei Jing'("黃帝內經") Before 'Bei Song'(北宋), regardless of the lack of data related to pediatric diseases, 'Qian Yi' established the pediatric system in 'Xiao Er Yao Zheng Zhi Jue' for the first time. 4. In his diagnosis of the pediatric diseases, he 'Si Zhen He Can'(四診合參), also considered in the eye exam seriously. In addition, he closely combined 'Wu Zang Bian Zheng'(五臟辨證), and diagnosis the pediatric diseases. 5. 'Wu Zang Bian Zheng', what Qian established method was based on 'Zheng Ti Guan'(整體觀) in 'Huang Di Nei Jing'. It was based on clinical experiences and established the perspectives of 'Tian Ren Xiang Ying'(天人相應). First of all, he pinpointed 'Zhu Zheng'(主證) clearly. Secondly, he pinpointed the relationships to symptoms and then, he distinguished a generic character of 'Xu, Shi, Han, Re'(虛, 實, 寒, 熱). Finally, he made an induction from genealogical pediatric physiology. 6. 'Qian Yi' took a serious view of 'Ban Zhen'(斑疹), the inadequate field in those days. At that time, he criticized on the habituation of the misuse of medication. He treated separately which 'Ji Jing'(急驚) as 'Liang Xie'(凉瀉) and 'Man Jing'(慢驚) as 'Wen Bu'(溫補). He proposed 'Cong Gan Zhu Feng, Xin Zhu Jing'(從肝主風, 心主驚) theory and formulated 'Jing Feng'(驚風) theory as well. 7. As an opponent of a tendency to misusage of medicine, 'Qian Yi' made out a prescription with pliant medicine. He emphasized on the treatment to 'Gong Bu Shang Zheng, Bu Bu Zhi Xie, Xiao Bu Jian Shi'(攻不傷正, 補不滯邪, 消補兼施) because he had so lucid demonstration to 'Xu Shi Han Re'(虛實寒熱) of the five viscera in the field of 'Bang Yak'(方藥). 8. There were no pediatrics schools at that time, however, the pediatrics was being made up gradually by 'Jin Yuan Si Da Jia'(金元四大家) who was influenced by 'Qian Yi'. He raised an objection to medical treatment using pliant medicine. 'Qian Yi' applied 'Qu Xia'(驅下) treatment using 'Han Liang'(寒凉) medicine. 'Han Liang Pai'(寒凉派) is greatly influenced by Qian. 'Chen Wen Zhong'(陳文中) had a great impact on 'Han Liang Pai' who used a 'Zao Shu Wen Bu'(燥熟溫補) medicine for treatment. Since 'Song Jin'(宋金), he had a tremendous influence on pediatrics treating patients in both 'Han Wen'(寒溫) ways. 9. 'Qian Yi' had an influence on his medical thoughts on future generations, especially to 'Wan Quan'(萬全) of 'Ming Dai', 'Wu Tang'(吳塘) of 'Qing Dai'(淸代) and 'Yun Shu Jie'(?樹珏) of 'Min Guo'(民國). 'Wan Quan' is an advocate of 'You Yu, Bu Zu Zhi Shuo'(有餘, 不足之說)of 'Xiao Er Wu Zang'(小兒五臟) that he revealed Qian's 'Wu Zang Bian Zheng'(五臟辨證). 'Wu Tang' disclosed Qian's 'Xiao Er Ti Zhi Shuo'(小兒體質說) and 'Xiao Er Ke'(小兒科)'s 'Yong Yao Lun'(用藥論), therefore, he uncovered pediatric physiological characteristics through the advocate of Qian's 'Zang Fu Rou Ruo, Ji Gu Nen Qie, Yi Xu Yi Shi, Yi Han Yi Re' (臟腑柔弱, 肌骨嫩怯, 易虛易實, 易寒易熱). 'Yun Shu Jie' developed intrinsic relationships among time, symptom and 'Tian Ren Xiang Ying Guan'(天人相應觀), What 'Qian Yi' stated about them. And also, he developed Qian's 'Di Huang Wan'(地黃丸), 'Xie Qing Wan'(瀉靑丸), 'Yi Huang San'(益黃散) clinical usages as well. 10. Regarding Qian's 'Wu Zang Xu Shi'(五臟虛實), it has an influence on 'Zhang Yuan Su'(張元素)'s 'Zang Fu Bing Ji Bian Zheng'(臟腑病機辨證). 'Di Huang Wan', 'Xie Qing Wan', 'Xie Xin Tang'(瀉心湯), 'Yi Huang San', 'Xie Huang San'(瀉黃散) are the standard prescription of 'Wu Zang Bu Xie'(五臟補瀉). It is under the influence of Qian's treatment. Besides, 'Qian Yi' took a serious view of 'Xiao Er'(小兒)'s 'Pi Wei'(脾胃). 'Qian Yi' had an impact on 'Li Dong Yuan'(李東垣) one of the member of 'Bu Tu Pai'(補土派). 'Di Huang Wan', which placed great importance on 'Bu Yi Shen Yin'(補益腎陰), had a great impact on 'Da Bu Yin Wan'(大補陰丸) and 'Jin Yuan Si Da Jia' as well. 11. In a theory of Qian's 'Wu Zang Bian Zheng', though it had been stated clearly in 'Wu Zang Bian Zheng', but he neglected in 'Liu Fu Bian Zheng'(六腑辨證). In prescription field, The problem with the medicine is that it is either toxic or mineral, therefore, we are not able to use those medicine in a clinical testing at the present time.

With more and more built long-term structural health monitoring (SHM) systems, it has been considered to apply monitored data to learn the reliability of bridges. In this paper, based on a long-term SHM system, especially in which the sensors were embedded from the beginning of the construction of the bridge, a method to calculate the localized reliability around an embedded sensor is recommended and implemented. In the reliability analysis, the probability distribution of loading can be the statistics of stress transferred from the monitored strain which covered the effects of both the live and dead loads directly, and it means that the mean value and deviation of loads are fully derived from the monitored data. The probability distribution of resistance may be the statistics of strength of the material of the bridge accordingly. With five years' monitored strains, the localized reliabilities around the monitoring sensors of a bridge were computed by the method. Further, the monitored stresses are classified into two time segments in one year period to count the loading probability distribution according to the local climate conditions, which helps us to learn the reliability in different time segments and their evolvement trends. The results show that reliabilities and their evolvement trends in different parts of the bridge are different though they are all reliable yet. The method recommended in this paper is feasible to learn the localized reliabilities revealed from monitored data of a long-term SHM system of bridges, which would help bridge engineers and managers to decide a bridge inspection or maintenance strategy.

사상의학(四象醫學)은 과거의학(過去醫學)에 비해 간명한 변증체계로 모든 병증을 포괄하고 있다. 그것은 음양변증(陰陽辨證)과 태소변증(太少辨證)으로 이루어지는 사상변증(四象辨證)이 음양변화를 정확히 사분(四分)하여 줌으로써, 과거의학의 팔망변증(八網辨證)이나 장부변증(臟腑辨證)이 지닌 변증의 혼잡성을 극복해주기 때문이다. 이러한 사상변증의 장점은 과거의학에서 제대로 파악하지 못했던 태음인 태양인의 호산(呼散)-흡취강약(吸聚强弱)의 병증 파악에서 보다 선명하게 드러난다. 이에 본 논고에서는 첫째, 동의수세보원(東醫壽世保元)의 전편에 걸쳐 서술된 승강취산론(升降聚散論)을 살펴보고, 둘째 태음인(太陰人) 간수열(肝受熱) 이열병론(裏熱病論)의 양독증(陽毒症)과 조열병(燥熱病)에 인용된 과거 병론에서 병증의 음양 인식이 어떻게 변화해 왔는가를 조사하며, 셋째, 태음인(太陰人) 이열병(裏熱病)의 처방들이 어떻게 발전해왔는가를 조사함으로써, 태양인(太陽人) 이열병론(裏熱病論)에 나타난 동무의 음양관을 파악해 보았으며, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 동의수세보원(東醫壽世保元)에서 비신(脾腎)은 승양(升陽)-강음(降陰), 간폐(肝肺)는 호산(呼散)-흡취(吸聚)의 짝운동을 하는 것으로 본다. 따라서 소음인, 소양인의 병증은 음양승강(陰陽升降)의 병리로 분석되며, 태음인, 태양인의 병증은 음양취산(陰陽聚散)의 병리(病理)로 분석된다. 이러한 승강취산론(升降聚散論)은 과거의학의 승강부침론(升降浮沈論)과 개념은 같으나, 논리가 일관되지 못했던 과거의학과 달리 병리해석과 치법에 이르기까지 일관되게 체계화되어 있다. 예를 들어 태음인(太陰人) 이열병(裏熟病)은 욕화(欲火)로 인해 폐의 호산지기(呼散之氣)를 고갈시켜서 태음인의 장부특성인 '흡취지기(吸聚之氣) 태과(太過)-호산지기(呼散之氣) 부족(不足)'을 심화시킴으로써 오므로, 그 욕심을 놓고 폐(肺)의 호산지기(呼散之氣)를 회복시키는 약재를 쓰면 낫는다고 치법을 제시하였다. 내경(內經), 상한론(傷寒論) 시대에는 태음인(太陰人) 이열병(裏熱病)을 열증(熱證)으로만 인식하였다. 송원명(宋元明)의 의가(醫家)들은 태음인(太陰人) 이열병(裏熱病)의 병리(病理) 기전(機轉)을 '양기독성(陽氣獨盛) 음기폭절(陰氣暴絶)'로 해석하였으며, 치법(治法)을 '용산고지약(用酸苦之藥) 영음기복(令陰氣復) 이대한해(而大汗解)'로 제시하였다. 여기서의 음양의 뜻은 표리나 한열이아니라 기(氣)를 쓰는 것을 양, 기(氣)를 저축하는 것을 음으로 보는 포괄적인 음양의 개념이다. 따라서 흡취지기(吸聚之氣) 과다(過多)로 인한 태음인(太陰人) 간열증(肝熱證)과 하강지기(下降之氣)가 막혀서 오는 소양인(少陽人) 위열증(胃熱證)이 정확히 분별되지 못했다. 태음인(太陰人) 조열병(燥熱病)은 내경(內經)에서부터 인식되었으며, 열결(熱結)로 인해 조증(燥證)이 발생한다는 병리로 파악하였으나, 역시 소양인(少陽人) 위열병(胃熱證)의 소갈병(消渴病)과 정확히 구별하지 못하였다. 소양인(少陽人) 위열증(胃熱證)은 음기하강(陰氣下降)이 막혀 중상초(中上焦)에 병증이 나타나고, 태음인(太陰人) 간열증(肝熱證)은 호산지기(呼散之氣)가 고갈되어 중하초(中下焦)에 병증이 나타난다. 동무는 이러한 병증 분석을 통해 양독증(陽毒症)과 조열병(燥熱病)을 태음인 병증으로 인식했다고 판단된다. 의학사(醫學史) 초기에는 태음인 리열병증에 소양인(少陽人) 위열증(胃熱證) 약재와 태음인(太陰人) 간열증(肝熱證) 약재가 혼합된 청열방(淸熱方)들을 많이 썼다. 태음인(太陰人) 이열병방(裏熱病方)은 상한론에서 소음인 처방이나 소양인 처방에 갈근(葛根), 마황(麻黃), 승마(升麻) 등 태음인의 약재가 가미된 모습으로 출발하여, 주굉(朱肱)의 조중탕(調中湯)과 A 신(信)의 갈근해기탕(葛根解肌湯)으로 골격을 갖추었으며, 이를 모방(母方)으로 하여 태음인(太陰人) 갈근해기탕(葛根解肌湯)이 성립되었다. 그 외에 오행론(五行論)과 동의수세보원(束醫壽世保元)에서의 승강부침(升降浮沈)의 장부배속이 한 계절씩의 위상차이를 보이는 것은, 장부의 기능이 작용하여 현상으로 나타나는데 1/4주기의 시간차가 나는데 따른 것이라는 가설을 세워보았다.

Objective: HBV infection may cause damage to the immune system and induce lymphomas as a result. Some scholars have indicated that HBsAg(+) reflecting HBV infection may have a relationship with lymphoma development. This study was designed to find out the specific stage of HBV infection which may be related to lymphoma. Methods: HBV serum markers, including HBsAg, HBsAb, HBeAg, HBeAb, HBcAb were tested among 100 lymphoma patients and 100 other patients who were diagnosed with non-lymphoma diseases in the First Hospital of Jilin University from 2010.1.1 to 2012.12.31. Three subgroups were established depending on different combinations of HBV serum markers. Subgroup 1 was HBsAg(+) representing the early stage of HBV infection. Subgroup 2 was HbsAb(+) representing convalescence and Subgroup 3 was "HbsAg and HbsAb negative combined with other positive markers" representing the intermediate stage of HBV infection. Chi square tests were used to compare the rates of three subgroups in lymphoma and control groups. Results: The rates of Subgroup were 13% and 5% respectively, an association between HBsAg and lymphoma being found (P<0.05). There was no difference between rate of Subgroup 2 of lymphoma group (15%) and that of control group (16%). In lymphoma group and control group, the rate of Subgroup 3 was different (12% vs 4%). This evidence was not specific to T cell lymphoma, B cell lymphoma or Hodgkin's lymphoma. Conclusions: Among serum markers of HBV, the combination of serum markers representing the early stage and intermediate stage of HBV infection have a relationship with lymphoma. Convalescence from HBV infection appears to have no relationship with lymphoma.

The mitogen-activated protein kinase HOG1 (high-osmolarity glycerol response pathway) plays a crucial role in the response of yeast to hyperosmotic shock. Trichosporonoides oedocephalis produces large amounts of polyols (e.g., erythritol and glycerol) in a culture medium. However, the effects of HOG1 gene knockout and environmental stress on the production of these polyols have not yet been studied. In this study, a To-HOG1 null mutation was constructed in T. oedocephalis using the loxP-Kan-loxP/Cre system as replacement of the targeted genes, and the resultant mutants showed much smaller colonies than the wild-type controls. Interestingly, compared with the wild-type strains, the results of shake-flask culture showed that To-HOG1 null mutation increased erythritol production by 1.44-fold while decreasing glycerol production by 71.23%. In addition, this study investigated the effects of citric acid stress on the T. oedocephalis HOG1 null mutants and the wild-type strain. When the supplementation of citric acid in the fermentation medium was controlled at 0.3% (w/v), the concentration of erythritol produced from the wild-type and To-HOG1 knockout mutant strains improved by 18.21% and 21.65%, respectively.

Areca palm yellow leaf (AYL) disease caused by the 16SrI group phytoplasma is a serious threat to the development of the Areca palm industry in China. The 16S rRNA gene sequence was utilized to establish a rapid and efficient detection system efficient for the 16SrI-B subgroup AYL phytoplasma in China by loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). The results showed that two sets of LAMP detection primers, 16SrDNA-2 and 16SrDNA-3, were efficient for 16SrI-B subgroup AYL phytoplasma in China, with positive results appearing under reaction conditions of 64℃ for 40 min. The lowest detection limit for the two LAMP detection assays was the same at 200 ag/μl, namely approximately 53 copies/μl of the target fragments. Phytoplasma was detected in all AYL disease samples from Baoting, Tunchang, and Wanning counties in Hainan province using the two sets of LAMP primers 16SrDNA-2 and 16SrDNA-3, whereas no phytoplasma was detected in the negative control. The LAMP method established in this study with comparatively high sensitivity and stability, provides reliable results that could be visually detected, making it suitable for application and research in rapid diagnosis of AYL disease, detection of seedlings with the pathogen and breeding of disease-resistant Areca palm varieties.
