Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2001;10(3):182-183
Objective To explore the effect of the psychological intervention on the treatment of dental anxiety (DA).Methods Measured with Corah's dental anxiety scale , 316DA patients were selected from department of dentistry and were divided into two groups: the intervention group and the control group . The psychological intervention as well as regular dental therapeutics were applied to the patients in the intervention group , whereas only regular dental therapeutics were used to those in the control group.Results The patients had a lower clinical dental anxiety in the intervention group , significantly different from that of the control group ( P< 0.01). After the treatment , more patients in the intervention group had a slower pulse than those in the control group and fewer had a faster pulse .The results also showed that the psychological intervention had a better curative effect on male patients than female ( P<0.05). Conclusion The psychological intervention was efficient to patients with dental anxiety.
2.Data and analysis of the cancer genome atlas
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2014;(5):349-353
Multiple chromosomal aberrations, nucleotide substitutions, and epigenetic modifications may occur in human cancer cells, which drive malignant transformation. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project aims to promote large-scale multi-dimensional analysis of these molecular characteristics in human cancer and rapidly provide data to researchers. In this study, we introduce four flow paths of the production of TCGA data, the collections of various cancer types, the data category and level, and the standardized pipeline of data analysis, as well as several existing data analytical tools. We used ovarian cancer as an example to introduce the application of the TCGA data in the analyses of mutation, copy number, analysis, and expression. We summarized the important findings of glioblasto-ma by TCGA teams.
3.Regulation of telomerase activity and gene therapy for cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(1):17-20
The hTERT gene promoter is a tumor-specific promoter, regulated by a number of factors.Modulation of the chromatin structure via DNA methylation or histone acetylation plays an important role in regulating the hTERT promoter. Recent study also found that glycogen synthase kinase -3 cytokines, macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor 1, bone inducing factor -7, transcription factors c-myc inhibitor, transforming growth factor β, cyclopentenone prostaglandin regulate the activity of hTERT through various pathways. Telomelysin, the telomerase-specific replication competent oncolytic adenovirus, has been used in clinical settings.Various gene therapies based on hTERT are current under-way.

Journal of Interventional Radiology 1994;0(04):-
Type I diabetes mellitus (T_1DM) is a chronic metabolic disease liable to teenagers all over the world. Its mechanism is due to the attack of auto-immune system on the body's own islet cells leading to hyperglycemia with great damages to the body. The implantation of islet cells is an effective way of curing T_1DM. The authors reviewed in detail the research advancement of islet cell source from stem cells of the bone marrow interstitial substance.

Modern Hospital 2015;(10):41-42
Objective Periodontal clinical effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy were analyzed and discussed the foundation .Methods Our hospital from 56 patients with periodontal disease in August 2013 admitted -August 2014 period, were randomly divided into experimental and control groups , and the control group underwent drug treat-ment on a regular basis , the experimental group on the basis of the control group , the line hyperbaric oxygen therapy , compared to its clinical effects .Results The symptoms were improved , but the effect more pronounced in the exper-imental group, which was significantly better than the control group of patients , compared to significantly different sta-tistically significant ( p<0.05 ) .Conclusion Hyperbaric oxygen combined basis have better clinical treatment of periodontal disease , which should be widely applied , pending further improved and refined to improve the outcome .
6.Effects of high glucose and insulin on the mRNA expressions of TGF-β1 , and TIMP-1 of hepatic stellate cells in rat
Journal of Chinese Physician 2016;18(8):1194-1197
Objective To explore the mechanism of diabetic hepatic fibrosis by observing effects of high glucose and insulin on expressions of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP-1) mRNAs of hepatic stellate cell (HSC) in rat.Methods Hepatic stellate cell lines in vitro were administrated by different dose of glucose without insulin and glucose with insulin for 72 h,and mannitol was chosen as hyperosmosis control group.Real time fluorescent quantitation polymerase chain reaction (RT-FQ-PCR) was used to determine expressions of TGF-β1 and TIMP-1 mRNAs of HSC in each group.Results Expressions of TGF-β1 and TIMP-1 mRNAs of HSC in each group could be detected and showed no significant difference among groups (P > 0.05).However,in general,expression of TGF-β1 mRNA in glucose with insulin group decreased and TIMP-1 mRNA increased.Conclusions The mRNA expressions of TGF-β1 and TIMP-1 in HSC could not be induced by high glucose alone,high dose of insulin may increase expressions of HSC TIMP-1 and reduce TGF-β1 expression.The main mechanisms of diabetic hepatic fibrosis may not be TGF-β1 pathway but be closely related to TIMP-1 pathway.
7.Prevalence and risk factors of diabetic retinopathy in type 2 diabetic inpatients
International Eye Science 2015;(2):337-339
AlM: To investigate the risk factors of diabetic retinopathy ( DR) in type 2 diabetes patients.METHODS:A total of 380 cases of type 2 diabetes were selected from January 2014 to June 2014, divided into DR group (126 cases) and non-diabetic retinopathy ( NDR) as control group (254 cases), all patients were underwent medical history, physical examinations, laboratory and assistance examinations. The prevalence and single factor and multiple factors of DR were analysed by the logistic regression model.RESULTS: The univariate logistic regression analysis showed that DR was associated with diabetes duration, systolic blood pressure, triglyceride, total cholesterol, low - density lipoprotein, urine protein, intraocular pressure, carotid intima - media thickness, peripheral neuropathy disease was the related risk factors for DR. ln multiple logistic regression analysis, only duration was the related risk factors for DR.CONCLUSlON:The occurrence of DR is the outcome of combined action of multiple factors, duration is an independent risk factor for occurrence of DR.
9.The role of calcitonin gene-related peptide in hypertension
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2003;0(08):-
The sensory merves innervate blood vessels all over the body and participate in the regulation of cardiovascular function both in the normal state and in the pathophysiology of hypertension through the actions of potent vasodilator neuropeptides Calcitonin gene related peptide, the predominant neurotransmitter in the capsaicin sensitive sensory nerves, plays an important role in the initiation and progression of hypertension via the alterations in its synthesis and release.
10.Short-term outcome of surgery combined with embolization of major aortopulmonary collateral vessel for tetralogy of Fallot
Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2009;32(20):33-35
Objective To demonstrate clinical value of surgical repair combined with collateral embolization for tetralogy of Fallot with major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs).Methods The clinical catheterization and surgical data of 8 such patients from October 2004 to May 2008 were analyzed retrospectively.All 8 patients underwent completely surgical repair combined with MAPCAs occlusion.Of 25 collateral arteries,20 were occluded before surgical procedure and 5 small ones were left.Corrective repairs were accomplished under moderate hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass.Ventricular septal defect was closed with Dacron patch,and all patients underwent non-valved autologous right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction.Results No complications were observed,only 1 patient got hypoxemia.Blood returned to left atrium from lung was decreased.During 6 months follow-up,7 cases were in NYHA class Ⅰ,another was in NYHA class Ⅱ.Conclusions In selective patients with dual pulmonary blood supply by both MAPCAs and native pulmonary arteries,this combined therapy of collateral embolization and surgical repair simplifies copmpleling surgical procedure,improves surgical results and achieves higher rate of one-stage repair.
