1.Recent progress on study of the selection of intraocular lens in the bilateral sequential cataract surgery
Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2014;32(6):560-562
Bilateral sequential cataract surgery is very common in clinical,but the ophthalmologists often ignore how to choose the timing of operation and whether the first eye can be used to improve the intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation for the second one.Despite the refinements in IOL selection with the use of third-generation IOL formulas,5% of eyes still result in a postoperative refractive surprise of ± 1.00 D or more.This paper introduced the methods of using refraction error of the first eye to improve the IOL power calculation for the second eye,and the refractive error of the second eye can be improved by modifying the IOL power to correct up to 50% of the error from the first eye in details.Because of the variation of the postoperative refractive surprise within a month,the interval of three to four weeks between two eyes cataract surgery is highly recommended.These conclusions may provide the advantageous guidance for us in the selection of IOL in bilateral cataract surgery.
2. Pharmacokinetics of fondaparinux sodium in Chinese patients after major thoracic surgery
Chinese Pharmaceutical Journal 2012;47(24):2022-2025
OBJECTIVE: To characterize the pharmacokinetics of a single dose of 2.5 mg fondaparinux sodium in Chinese patients after thoracic surgery. METHODS: Thirteen patients were enrolled in the study and were given a single dose of 2.5 mg fondaparinux sodium via a subcutaneous injection. Plasma concentrations of fondaparinux sodium were measured throughout a 24 h period. The pharmacokinetic analysis was performed using WinNonlin software. RESULTS: The following pharmacokinetic parameters were derived; t1/2(7.92 ± 3.13) (4.21-15.89) h, tmax(2.52 ± 0.93) (1.38-4) h, p-1 (0.73 ± 0.18) (0.45-1.02) mg · L-1, AUClast(6. 56 ± 2.19) (3.07-9. 75)mg · h · L-1, Vz/F(3.54 ± 1.00) (2.24-5.73) L, CL/F(0.34 ± 0.14) (0.16-0.63) L · h-1, and MRTlast (6.98 ± 2.1) h. The pearson correlation coefficient, r was 0.7283(P = 0.005) between the serum creatinine(Scr) and mean residence time(MRTlast) of fondaparinux. CONCLUSION: The disposition of fondaparinux is highly variable in patients. A statistical significant correlation between Scr and MRTlast of fondaparinux was observed. Fondaparinux sodium administered by intravenous injection is well tolerated in patients.

Objective To study the significance of serum IL-17 level in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS ) before and after rosuvastatin treatment .Methods Forty-eight ACS patients served as group A and 30 stable angina pectoris patients served as group B in this study .T heir blood-lipid level and serum hs-CRP and myocardial enzyme levels were measured and the number of coronary artery branches with lesions was calculated .Their association with serum IL-17 level was analyzed .Patients in group A were treated with rosuvastatin .The serum IL-17 levels were compared in two groups before and 4 weeks after rosuvastatin treatment .Results The serum IL-17 level was significantly higher in group A than in group B before rosuvastatin treatment (34.41 ± 6 .37 ng/L vs 15 .18 ± 3 .11 ng/L ,P<0 .05) and significantly lower in group A 4 weeks after rosuvastatin treatment than before rosuvastatin treatment (16 .71 ± 4 .72 ng/L vs 34 .41 ± 6.37 ng/L ,P<0 .05) .No significant difference was found in serum IL-17 level between the two groups after rosuvastatin treatment (P>0 .05) .Multivariate regression analysis showed that the serum hs-CRP and troponin level and the number of coronary artery branches with lesions were positively related with the serum IL-17 level (P=0 .012 ,0 .008 ,0 .000) .Conclusion Serum IL-17 level in ACS patients can partly reflect the severity of ACS .Early treatment of ACS with rosuvas-tatin can reduce the inflammatory reactions and serum IL-17 level ,and is of great significance in stabilizing the coronary plaques and reducing the incidence of ACS .
4.China’s participation of global environment and health governance:Opportunities, challenges and policy recommendation
Chinese Journal of Health Policy 2015;(7):21-25
China faces opportunities and challenges as well when it participates in global environment and health governance. Major opportunities are as follows:(1) The convergence between global environment and health governance’s future trend and China’s environment and health strategies is a strongest incentive to push China to par-ticipate in global environment and health governance;(2) China can benefit from this participation in term of more access to international resources; ( 3 ) Global environmental and health issues are the areas that can best illustrate China’s international image as a responsible member; ( 4 ) Since global environmental and health governance is still young, early participation will give China a louder voice in its decision-making. The challenges that China faces are as follows:(1) Huge pressure from domestic environment and health challenges forces China to be primarily inward-looking and makes it very hard for the country to keep a high profile in global environment and health governance. China also faces the increasing international pressure. ( 2 ) The lack of global environment and health governance strategy prevents China from effectively participating in global environment and health governance. (3)“The Grand Health Outlook”hasn’t been fully established yet in China, leaving much room for improvement. (4) Intellectual sup-port is inadequate. (5) Some countries have too high expectations of China in terms of its contribution to global envi-ronmental and health governance. In order to effectively participate in this field, China should undertake coordinated planning on both the international and domestic scenes, and take some specific policies both at national and interna-tional level.

9.Abnormal Autophagy in Pathogenesis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Chinese Journal of Gastroenterology 2015;(11):683-686
Inflammatory bowel disease( IBD)is a chronic and nonspecific intestinal inflammatory disease caused by multiple factors such as environment,genetic susceptibility and immune disturbance. Autophagy plays an important role in cellular homeostasis and immune. Autophagy abnormalities may be involved in the pathogenesis of IBD. Genome-wide association studies(GWAS)have provided compelling evidence that autophagy related genes,including ATG16L1,IRGM and NOD2,are significantly associated with IBD. This article reviewed the abnormal autophagy in pathogenesis of IBD.
