1.Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 and transforming growth factor-β in tumor
Journal of International Oncology 2013;40(9):652-655
Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is one of the most important hypoxia signal transmission factor,and it has been observed in many human tumors.HIF-1 could play a role of promoting tumor by regulating the expression level of transforming growth factor-β in vivo and in vitro,and then affecting the development and prognosis of tumor.
2.Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma and epithelial-mesenchymal transition in cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2013;(6):425-428
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of cancer can enhance the abilities of invasion and metastasis of cancer cells,which is one of the reasons for treatment failure.Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is an important regulatory factor in EMT of cancer cells.Recent researches show that activation of PPARγplays a role in the occurrence and development of EMT by regulating the E-cadherin,Smad complex and body microenvironment.Therefore,in-depth research for the relationship among PPARγ,EMT and cancer is expected to provide a new direction for tumor treatment.
3.Prevention and therapy of small cell lung cancer with brain metastasis
Journal of International Oncology 2014;(8):588-591
Small cell lung cancer with brain metastasis is the most common type in brain metastasis tumors with the poor prognosis. Researches show that prophylactic cranial irradiation is not only effective in the prevention and treatment of limited disease brain metastases of small cell lung cancer,but also effective for extensive disease. Moreover,certain medications such as mannitol,nimustine etc also play an important sup-porting role,but there are many other uncertain parts in terms of prevention and treatment remaining controver-sial and needing further research.
4.Progress in Pharmacological Mechanism for the Role of Fatty Acid in Reversal of Myocardial Toxicity of Local Anesthetics
Tianjin Medical Journal 2014;(7):731-733
At present, there is no specific antidote for local anesthetic toxicity, which seriously hindered therapeutic efficts of clinical treatment. It is increasingly urgent for finding find the effective antidote to local anesthetic. This article at-tempts to interpret the molecular pharmacological mechanism from fat pool, energy metabolism, NO, ion channel and solubili-zation for the role of fatty acids in reversal of myocardial toxicity of local anesthetics. And the different characteristics of the structure and function of nano liposome and fat emulsion were compared.
5.Tilt of IOLs and change of axial length in patients of posterior capsular opacification after Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy
International Eye Science 2017;17(8):1394-1398
AIM: To study the tilt of the intraocular lens (IOL) after Nd:YAG capsulotomy (YAG) and variation of the axial length (AL) in patients with posterior capsular opacification (PCO).METHODS: The study involved 18 eyes of 14 patients with PCO after uncomplicated phacoemulsification surgery and IOL implantation.All patients had taken examinations,including testing best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) by using standard logarithmic visual acuity chart,images of ocular anterior segment and AL by OCT.After the examinations,YAG was operated upon all patients.Each eye received one drop of Diclofenac Sodium Eye Drops immediately after YAG,and patients had taken examinations listed above again.One week later,BCVA and OCT were tested as well.Data (BCVA,tilt of IOLs,and AL) were recorded and analyzed statistically by SPSS.RESULTS: Mean patient age was 73.93±6.94y,including 5 males and 9 females,8 left eyes and 10 right eyes,altogether 14 patients with 18 eyes.In this study,tilt of IOLs was defined as the angle of anterior surface of IOL and pupil plane (briefly called Tilt,unit:°).Before YAG,mean Tilt was 2.896±2.286°,mean AL was 23.56±0.55mm.1h after YAG,mean Tilt was 4.702±2.991°,mean AL was 23.40±0.59mm,and BCVA enhanced 3.72±1.74 lines.1wk after YAG,9 patients with 12 eyes were involved in the study.The mean Tilt of these 12 eyes was 3.175±1.791° 1h after YAG and 3.434±1.835° 1wk after YAG.There were significant differences between Tilt before YAG and Tilt 1h after YAG.There were no significant differences between AL before YAG and AL 1h after YAG.There were no significant differences between Tilt 1h after YAG and Tilt 1wk after YAG.The lines of enhancement of BCVA 1h after YAG was correlated to differences between Tilt before YAG and Tilt 1h after YAG,of which the correlation coefficient was-0.523.CONCLUSION: IOLs of patients with PCO tilted after YAG,while AL rarely changed.After YAG,the less IOLs tilted,the more BCVA enhanced.
6.Current research status and progress of sarcopenia in the elderly
Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2021;40(5):668-671
At present, about 50 million people worldwide suffer from sarcopenia, and the number is expected to reach 500 million by 2050.Sarcopenia in the elderly will be one of the major global health problems in the future.In this article, current research status and progress of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, its correlation with other diseases and treatment of sarcopenia were analyzed.

Objective To investigate the relationship between cerebral thrombosis and iron-deficiency anemia, and their clinical manifestations and therapy. Methods The clinical data of 4 patients with iron deficiency anemia complicated by cerebral thrombosis were analyzed retrospectively. Results Four patients were moderate-to-sexere anemia with thrombocytosis, and their blood pressure was relatively low. Two had chronic infection foci. All patients had cerebral infarction in the internal carotid system, of those, 2 were weatershed infarctions, and 2 were basal ganglia infarctions. Oxygen inhalation, correcting anemia, adjusting blood presssure to an appropriate level, and other conventional treatment were effective. Conclusions The patients with moderate-to-severe anemia, such as accompanied by thrombocytosis and lower blood pressure, are easy to came thrombosis. While in the routine treatment of cerebral thrombosis, attention should be paid to finding the causes of anemia and correcting them.

Musashi1 (Msi1) is an evolutionary conservative RNA-binding protein (RBP),and it is a stem marker in a variety of organizations,including intestinal,neural system.Msi1 maintains the balance between self-renewal and differentiation.Recently,many researchers report that Msi1 is overexpressed in many types of tumors,especially in colorectal neoplasms,participating in the regulation of cell cycle,proliferation,apoptosis and so on.Msi1 becomes a key regulator of many cancers,which is expected to turn into a new target for cancer therapy.
