The principal role of neutrophils in tissue repair has long been thought to be confined to killing bacteria and clearing necrotic tissue. However, recent studies have shown that neutrophils are also one of the sources of pro inflammatory cytokines and growth factors, such as IL 1, TNF ?, bFGF, VEGF,TGF ? 1 that probably serve as the earliest signals to activate local fibroblasts, epidermal cells and vascular endothelial cells and initiate tissue repair. It was also reported that neutrophils improved the proliferation removal of injured epithelial cells in airway and corneal epithelial cells. It is very important for the successful tissue repair that the function of neutrophils is normal.

Chinese Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation 2013;35(8):643-645
Objective To evaluate the osteogenic potential of selected exercises and determine which one has the greatest value for the elderly.Methods Twenty healthy old subjects were recruited in the study.Each subject performed the following four exercises in random order:stepping onto a 4-in riser (STEP),sit-to-stand (STS),jumping (JUMP) and marching (MARCH).The subjects performed successively each of the 4 exercises for 1 minute,with an interval of 3 minutes between each.The Vicon action capture system was used to record the peak ground reaction of the subjects during their exercises.The osteogenic index (OI) was calculated by the formula:OI=peak GRF/ (body weight×9.8) × In (number of loading cycles±1).Results JUMP and MARCH had superior OI value (7.52 ±2.06,6.51 ±1.59) than STEP (5.22 ±0.63) among the4 exercises (P<0.05).STS was found to have the lowest OI (2.23 ± 0.42) in the elderly.There was no significant correlation between the height and OI in JUMP and MARCH (P >0.05).Conclusion STEP and MARCH had the higher OI value and could be deemed as the better ways to induce positive effects on bone health in the elderly population.
5.Differences between clinical and imaging standardized resident training method in ultrasound department
Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2015;14(6):619-622
The standardized resident training is an important and necessary way to cultivate high-quality medical talents.The goals between clinical and imaging residents in standardized training of ultrasound department are different.For clinical residents,the purpose is to understand the ultrasound images of various common diseases,combine clinical manifestation with ultrasound images,and improve the level of clinical diagnosis and treatment.For imaging residents,the goal is much higher and stricter;they need to master solid ultrasonic knowledge,independent operational and diagnostic ability,in order to provide reliable and accurate ultrasonic diagnosis.We individually design the teaching plan and methods in ultrasound department,in order to improve teaching efficiency and quality.

Chinese Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2016;39(12):873-875
Over the past decade , with the rapid increase of the incidence of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) in our country, the diagnosis and treatment of IMN has been paid more and more attention.IMN is an autoimmune disease.Two important podocyte autoantigens , PLA2R and THSD7A, have been indentified sine 2009.Subsequently , serum anti-PLA2R antibody test and anti-THSD7A antibody test have also been used in clinical .Preliminary applications show that these two tests can not only help IMN diagnosis and differential diagnosis , but also help IMN prognosis.
9.The correlation between serum concentration of vitamin A and NRDS in preterm infants
Journal of Clinical Pediatrics 2015;(8):734-737
ObjectivesTo observe correlation between serum vitamin A status and prevalence or severity of NRDS. MethodsRecruited into this study were 166 preterm infants admitted to our neonatal department. The serum concentration of vitamin A was measured, and the prevalence of NRDS at different levels of vitamin A was compared. According to the clinical manifestation and X-rays, there were 30 infants diagnosed as NRDS. Another 30 patients from the rest 133 infants without NRDS were randomly selected as control group according to the gestational ages, then the difference between NRDS group and control group were observed according to gestational ages. The 30 preterm infants with NRDS were divided further into mild group (in-cluding stagesⅠandⅡ,n=18) and severe group (including stageⅢ andⅣ,n=12) according to ifndings chest X-ray, then the difference between these two groups were observed.ResultsIn the 166 preterm infants recruited, 65/166 had serum vitamin A lower than 0.35 μmol/L, in which 14/65 (21.54%) were NRDS patients. Another 93/166 patients had serum vitamin A ranged from 0.35 μmol/L to 0.7 μmol/L, in which 15/93 (16.13%) were NRDS patient. The rest 8/166 had serum vitamin A higher than 0.7 μmol/L, in which 1/8 (12.50%) were NRDS patient. However, the differences between each two groups were not signiifcant. When gestational ages ranged from 34 to 37 weeks, the serum concentrations of vitamin A of NRDS group were lower than that in controls (P<0.05). No signiifcant difference between the serum concentrations of vitamin A and the severity of NRDS were ob-served (P>0.05).ConclusionsThe prevalence of NRDS for those preterm infants lacking of vitamin A was tended to increase. And the late preterm infants (34 w≤ GA <37 w) with vitamin A deifciency are prone to NRDS.
