中医病名英译规范策略

通过分析中西医疾病命名特点、中医英译原则,对中医病名英译的策略进行了较为深入的讨论。根据中西医病名含义的多种对应关系,采用首选意译、次选直译、控制音译和多种译法结合的翻译策略。详细论述了如何灵活应用三种翻译方法对各种中医病名进行翻译。

肾上腺少见疾病诊治19例报告

目的探讨临床上少见肾上腺疾病的诊断和治疗的关键问题。方法对19例病人的诊疗过程进行回顾性分析。结果12例术前确诊,7例术后确诊,其中17例施行手术,16例成功行根治性切除,1例因肿瘤广泛生长粘连无法切除只行活检,2例穿刺活检明确诊断。肿块大小从微小结节状到20cm×25cm×30cm,重约20～5000g。恶性肿瘤者术后行放疗或化疗,随访1年以上生活质量好。结论全面的术前准备最重要,治疗上首选手术探查,争取根治性切除肿瘤。     

松材线虫萎蔫病病死木的空间分布型

应用频次分析方法研究了松材线虫萎蔫病病死木和林分中原有松树的空间分布型。松材线虫萎蔫病病死木在马尾松林内的分布为聚集分布,主要为波松－二项分布,林分内原有松树的分布为随机分布,说明松材线虫萎蔫病病死木的聚集分布不是由林分内原有松树的分布所引起。     

浅谈沥青路面常见病害成因及防治对策

浅谈竹荪褐发网菌病害的防治

近年来,武夷山竹荪大面积暴发粘菌-褐发网菌Stemonitis fusca Roth(李玉教授鉴定,以下称褐发网菌),造成严重损失。褐发网菌已成为竹荪栽培的一种严重新病害,但由于褐发网菌是近三四年刚发生的一种新病害,许多菇农对它认识尚不全面,叫法不一,用药也不一。菇农有叫黑孢菌、灰毛菌、黄毛菌,也有叫黑炭菌等。

Anti-amyloidogenic therapies: strategies for prevention and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease

Deposition of amyloid β-protein (Aβ) in the brain is an early and invariant neuropathological feature of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The current search for anti-AD drugs is mainly focused on modification of the process of accumulation of Aβ in the brain. Here, we review four anti-amyloidogenic strategies: (i) reduction of Aβ production, which has mainly been approached with secretase inhibition, (ii) promotion of the Aβ degrading catabolic pathway, including an Aβ degrading enzyme, neprilysin, (iii) immunotherapy for Aβ and (iv) inhibition of Aβ aggregation. We have reported that AD patients have a favorable molecular environment for Aβ aggregation and that various compounds, such as polyphenols, interfere with Aβ aggregation and destabilize preformed Aβ fibrils.

Sialic acid-specific lectins: occurrence, specificity and function

Sialic acids consist of a family of acidic ninecarbon sugars that are typically located at the terminal positions of a variety of glycoconjugates. Naturally occurring sialic acids show an immense diversity of structure, and this reflects their involvement in a variety of biologically important processes. One such process involves the direct participation of sialic acids in recognition events through specific interactions with lectins, a family of proteins that recognise and bind sugars. This review will present a detailed overview of our current knowledge regarding the occurrence, specificity and function of sialic acid-specific lectins, particularly those that occur in viruses, bacteria and non-vertebrate eukaryotes.

Glycogen synthase kinase 3β and Alzheimer’s disease: pathophysiological and therapeutic significance

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder associated with cognitive and behavioral dysfunction and is the leading cause of dementia in the elderly. Several studies have implicated molecular and cellular signaling cascades involving the serine-threonine kinase, glycogen synthase kinase β(GSK-3β) in the pathogenesis of AD. GSK-3β may play an important role in the formation of neurofibrillary tangles and senile plaques, the two classical pathological hallmarks of AD. In this review, we discuss the interaction between GSK-3β and several key molecules involved in AD, including the presenilins, amyloid precursor protein, tau, and β-amyloid. We identify the signal transduction pathways involved in the pathogenesis of AD, including Wnt, Notch, and the PI3 kinase/Akt pathway. These may be potential therapeutic targets in AD.
