1.Correlation of pulmonary surfactant protein B, C and neonatal respiratory distress syndrome
International Journal of Pediatrics 2015;42(6):622-625
Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome is one of the common critically ill newborn's disease, the pathogenesis of which is closely related to gene mutation of the pulmonary suffactant protein(SP).Surfactant protein is an important component of the pulmonary surfactant, which plays an important role in the structure, metabolism, and function of pulmonary surfactant.SP-B and SP-C in pulmonary surfactant is extremely important and closely related to each other.Study on relationship between the SP gene allelic variation and neonatal respiratory distress syndrome could contribute to early genetic intervention, promote the clinical diagnosis and treatment, and bring far-reaching significance to reduce the neonatal mortality rate.
2.Research advance of immune nutrients in cancer therapy
Parenteral & Enteral Nutrition 1997;0(03):-
The immune nutrients play an important role in nutritional support,immune regulation and maintenance of intestinal barrier function.In recent years,with the deepening study,the effect of immune nutrients in the comprehensive cancer treatment has constantly being recognized.Many studies have shown that glutamine (Gln),arginine (Arg) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have effect on the tumor itself and the combination cancer chemotherapy.
7.The effects of sacral nerve root electrostimulation on the colon function and its mechanisms in a rat model of spinal cord injury.
Chinese Journal of Applied Physiology 2016;32(1):34-38
OBJECTIVETo study the effects of sacral nerve root electrostimulation (SNS) on the colon function and its mechanisms in rats with spinal cord injury (SCI).
METHODSOne hundred and four Wistar rats were divided into three groups: A, B and C. A group ( n = 24) was divided into three subgroups (n = 8) for studying the bioelectricity: Normal group (NG), SCI group (SCI) and SCI group with SNS(SNS); B group( n = 24) was divided into three subgroups( n = 8) for studying the colon motility: NG, SCI and SNS. C group( n = 56) were divided into three groups for studying the change of morphology and neurotransmitters(SP and VIP): NG (n = 8), SCI (n = 24), and SNS (n = 24) . In SCI and SNS, included of three subgroups: 24, 48, 72 h after spinal cord injury (n = 8).
RESULTSIn SCI group, the activity of bioelectricity in proximal and distal colon was reduced; the colon motility was lessened, and colon mucosa appeared different degree of damage; cell-cell connections between intestinal epithelial cells were destroyed. The expressions of substance P(SP) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in colon were decreased obviously. SNS was found to activate the bioelectricity, promote the colon motility, improve the intestinal mucosal, and increase the expressions of SP and VIP. Conclusion: SNS can activate the peristalsis, rehabilitate the motility of denervated colon, protection of the intestinal mechanical barrier between intestinal epithelial cells and tight junction, rebuild the colon function through activating the bioelectricity and increase the expressions of SP and VIP.

8.Ultrastructural study on route of gut bacterial translocation in a rat after spinal cord injury.
Chinese Journal of Applied Physiology 2015;31(6):561-566
OBJECTIVETo observe the ultrastructural change of the route of gut bacterial translocation in a rat with spinal cord injury (SCI).
METHODSForty Wistar rats were divided into the following groups: control group and 3 SCI groups (10 in each group). The rats in the SCI groups were established SCI model at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h after SCI. Small intestine mucous membrane tissue was identified and assayed by transmission electron microscope, scanning electron microscope and immunofluorescence microscopy.
RESULTSSmall intestine mucous membrane tissue in control group was not damaged significantly, but those in SCI groups were damaged significantly. Proliferation bacteria in gut lumen attached on microvilli. The extracellular bacteria torn the intestinal barrier and perforated into the small intestinal mucosal epithelial cell. The bacteria and a lot of particles of the seriously damaged region penetrated into the lymphatic system and the blood system directly. Some bacteria were internalized into the goblet cell through the apical granule. Some bacteria and particles perforated into the submucosa of the M cell running the long axis of M cells through the tight junctions. In the microcirculation of mucosa, the bacteria that had already broken through the microvilli into blood circulation swim accompanying with erythrocytes.
CONCLUSIONThe routes of bacterial translocation interact and format a vicious circle. At early step, the transcellular pathway of bacterial translocation is major. Following with the destroyed small intestine mucous, the routes of bacterial translocation through the lymphatic system and the blood system become direct pathways. The goblet cell-dendritic cell and M cell pathway also play an important role in the bacterial translocation.

Objective To analyze and sort the character of symptom and pathology of 223 HIV/AIDS patients in Yunnan Provine. Methods Sort the clinical periods into groups subject to 223 HIV/AIDS patients who voluntarily accept the consultations and treatments for the first try in Yunnan province, then observe their tongue-appearance accordingly. Results By separately observing the color, shape and aspect of the tongue and tongue-fur which belongs to patient during AIDS period and asymptomatic period, discovered that the pathological tongue-fur appearance of all clinical periods trends to greasy, thereinto, in period of AIDS, 47.45% were white-greasy, 16.06% were yellow-greasy, 8.02% were yellow and thin. In terms of color of tongue, 46.71% of the total samples were light pink and white, 32.12% were red, and 21.17% were purple and gore. In period of asymptomatic, most of the tongue-appearance was light pink and thin white, which obviously exceeded the AIDS period. It indicates that the higher level of immunity, the more normal appearance of tongue can be expected. Group A (200≤CD4
