China Pharmacy 2016;27(30):4194-4196,4197
OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for strengthening the cultural construction and promoting the cultural develop-ment of TCM in Chongqing. METHODS:Questionnaire was adopted to investigate the status quo and cognition of some citizens, staffs in medical and health institutions for the cultural construction of TCM in public TCM medical and health institutions above Grade Two in Chongqing,and the data was statistically analyzed. RESULTS:Totally 45 questionnaires were sent out for TCM med-ical and health institutions,45 were effectively received with effective recovery of 100%;3 500 were sent out for the citizens,2 250 were effectively received with effective recovery of 64.29%;1 100 were sent out for the staffs in TCM medical and health institu-tions,702 were effectively received with effective recovery of 63.82%. In terms of cultural construction in surveyed institutions,or-ganization,principles and unit markings carried out a relatively high proportion in the core cultural soft power construction,the de-velopment of behavioral norms system carried out a relatively low proportion;and the proportion was higher in the hardware envi-ronment construction. In terms of the cognition of surveyed citizens for the TCM culture,62.98% believed in TCM;the first rea-son for choosing TCM was its less side effects(24.76%);89.42% thought it was necessary to keep in good health. In terms of the cognition of surveyed staffs for the cultural construction of TCM,81.91%thought the TCM culture was taken seriously in their hos-pital;60.54% showed great satisfaction with the cultural construction of TCM;only 23.08% was very familiar with the concept of TCM core values;the surveyed staff thought the main problems in the cultural construction of TCM were lack of facilities (69.09%)and talent personals(44.59%). CONCLUSIONS:The organization,principles,unit markings and facilities in Chongq-ing TCM medical and health institutions are taken seriously,while the behavioral norms system needs to be strengthened;the citi-zens’cognition for TCM culture should to be improved,as well as the staffs’TCM cultural awareness in TCM medical and health institutions.
3.Advances of immunotherapy in lymphoma
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2015;24(10):577-579
Over the past years, the incidence of lymphoma has been increasing, which has become one of the most common cancers around the world.The survival of lymphoma patients has been significantly improved due to advances of therapeutic methods such as new chemotherapy regimens, monoclonal antibodies and small molecular targeted drugs.However, the number of patients with relapsed/refractory lymphoma still account for a large proportion.It is of great significance to find new ways to treat these patients.Cellular immunotherapy could kill tumor cells by causing specific and effective antitumor immune response.Remarkable advances have been made in immunotherapy, such as adoptive immunotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors and immunomodulation therapy, for relapsed/refractory lymphoma patients, which will gradually open a new era in the treatment of lymphoma.
4.Differentiation of neural stem cells induced by glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;(50):8167-8171
BACKGROUND:The use of neural stem cels provides a new approach for nervous system functional reconstruction and nerve regeneration. How to solve the induced differentiation of neural stem cels is stil a research hotspot.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the differentiation of rat neural stem cels into neurons and dopaminergic neurons under induction of glial cel-line derived neurotrophic factor gene.
METHODS:PcDNA3-GDNF-GFP plasmids were constructed and transferredvia lipidosome into rat embryonic neural stem cels. Differentiation of neural stem cels after transfection was identified under a fluorescence microscope. Immunofluorescent staining was used to detect expression of β-tubulin III and tyrosine hydroxylase.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 3 days after transfection, green fluorescence was observed in the transfected cels that were globular. At 7 days after transfection, the proportion of neural stem cels differentiating into neurons and dopaminergic neurons were significantly increased. These results indicate that the glial cel-line derived neurotrophic factor gene can induce the differentiation of neural stem cels into neurons and dopaminergic neurons.
5.Application of cognitive theory of emotion in the study of tinnitus.
Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2014;29(8):691-695
Tinnitus is a common clinical disorder, which may generate trom a lot of causes, including otological disease and other systemic diseases associated with tinnitus or some factors such as insomnia and emotional cognition. Some studies have found that mood is associated with the occurrence and development of tinnitus and that psychological factors play a role in the occurrence and development of tinnitus in the tinnitus patients with mood disorders. At the same time, the psychological distress and emotional problems caused by tinnitus have drawn more and more attention of clinicians. Based on this, the cognitive theory of emotion can be helpful for evaluating tinnitus, and patients with severe tinnitus can be relieved by biofeedback information in tinnitus management. This article will analyze literature in these disciplines.

Objective To study the effect of emodin on biochemical indicators of drug‐induced intrahepatic cholestasis model and the interstitial cells of cajal (ICC) in bile duct and to explore the role of ICC and emodin in intrahepatic cholestasis .Methods Fif‐teen rats were randomly divided into drug‐induced intrahepatic cholestasis group ,emodin intervention group and control group(n=5) .Rat cholestatic hepatitis model and emodin intervention model were established .RT‐PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to detect liver function ,c‐kit mRNA and protein expression levels in drug‐induced intrahepatic cholestasis group ,emodin interven‐tion group and control group .Results The degree of liver dysfunction and bilirubin level in drug‐induced intrahepatic cholestasis group were significantly higher than those in control group(P<0 .05);the above indicators in emodin intervention group were sig‐nificantly higher than those in control group but lower than those in drug‐induced intrahepatic cholestasis group(P<0 .05) .The c‐kit mRNA expression located at 548 bp was observed in control group ,emodin intervention group and drug‐induced intrahepatic cholestasis group .Relative expression level of c‐kit mRNA in drug‐induced intrahepatic cholestasis group was significantly lower than that in emodin intervention group and control group (P<0 .05) .Meanwhile ,there was no significant difference in relative ex‐pression level of c‐kit mRNA between emodin intervention group and control group (P>0 .05) .Immunohistochemistry results indi‐cated that expression of c‐kit in drug‐induced intrahepatic cholestasis group was significantly lower than those in control group and emodin intervention group(P<0 .05) .Conclusion There may be close relationship between the forming process of drug‐induced in‐trahepatic cholestasis and decrease of ICC in bile duct .The therapeutic effect of emodin on intrahepatic cholestasis may be related with the number of ICC in bile duct or the positive effect on ICC.
