1.Re-cognition of exercise-induced central and peripheral fatigue
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;(42):6849-6854
BACKGROUND:Animal exhaustion models are used mostly in exercise-induced fatigue research, in which complete exhaustion is confused with sports fatigue. OBJECTIVE:By understanding of exercise-induced fatigue, understanding the mechanism of its occurrence, to grasp the reasonable and effective control measures, which to eliminate fatigue is very important for improving public health, improving sports performance and preventing sports injuries. METHODS:A computer-based search of Medline, Embase, CBMdisc and CNKI was used for articles related to exercise-induced fatigue published from 1966 to 2014. The keywords were “exercise-induced fatigue, peripheral fatigue; central fatigue, exercise-induced fatigue” in English and Chinese, respectively. Finaly, 49 articles were included in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The criteria and condition control of exercise-induced fatigue should be recognized. The mechanisms of peripheral fatigue and central fatigue are stil unclear. The peripheral fatigue may locate in the neuromuscular junction, T system, sarcoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and myocardial cel membrane with the corresponding material changes. During the exercise-induced central fatigue, there are corresponding changes in the neurotransmitters produced by the central nervous system, transfers quality and neural hormone.
2.Stability and reproducibility study in serum proteomics with matrix assisted Iaser desorption ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry
Chinese Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2009;32(2):148-152
Objective To study the stability and reproducibility in serum proteome by matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS).Methods Bruker Daltonics MALDI-TOF-MS was adopted under the linear mode, with mass ranging from 800 to 10 000 m/z.MB-WCX pre-extraction kit and Clinprotools software was used to analyze data.Results The reproducibility study was carried out under the standardized conditions.Data analysis showed that the m/z ratio was in the acceptable range, and the coefficients of variation(CV) was 12.7% ,13.1% and 18.8% ,respectively in the parallel experiment by taking 2 cancer and 1 healthy control serum samples and could identify the diseased samples.Then 30 healthy control samples were used to validate this result, all of which showed very good mass profile. The average CV was 25.5%, which could meet the requirements of clinical laboratory.Conclusion With the help of optimized experimental conditions and MALDI-TOF-MS, stable and reproducible mass spectrum can be required which is helpful for the early diagnosis of diseases.
4.Malnutrition and stroke
Chinese Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2009;17(5):297-301
Malnutrition is significantly correlated with the high mortality and other poor outcomes of stroke;in turn,stroke can increase the incidence of malnutrition.Old age and swallowing dysfunction are independent risk factors of post-stroke malnutrition.The sequential nutritional support with enteral nutrition and parenteral nutrition can reduce or avoid the complications of both malnutrition and stroke,and therefore should be considered for stroke patients,especially those who are critically ill.
5.A clinical observation of heart rate turbulence of diabetes
Chinese Journal of Diabetes 2009;17(12):933-934
Objective To discuss the significance and alteration of heart rate turbulence (HRT) of diabetics with ventricular premature beats of coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods 107 patients were chosen and divided into DM group(n=30), CHD group (n=32)and normal group(n=45).The turbulence onset(TO)and turbulence slope(TS) were calculated and analyzed. Results For the diabetics with ventricular premature beats, TO value was higher and TS value was lower than the normal group(all P<0.05).The value of TO and TS of the diabetics with ventricular premature beats were similar to those of CHD(P>0.05). Conclusions HRT can be used to estimate the integrality and stability of cardiac autonomic nerve function for the diabetics and it is an important factor for diagnosis.
6.Real-world study: a potential new approach to effectiveness evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine interventions.
Journal of Integrative Medicine 2010;8(4):301-6
Some conclusions drawn from explanatory randomized controlled trial (ERCT) lack practical value in application under real-world clinical settings, and there are also some limitations on the generalization of pragmatic randomized controlled trial (PRCT) results. In some countries, real-world studies (RWSs) have been conducted to explore the effectiveness and safety of clinical interventions or postmarketing drugs, which is a new tendency in clinical researches. By reviewing some RWSs carried out in Western countries, we sum up the basic characteristics of the research design, and discuss the differences and connections between PRCT and RWS. The design ideas of RWS are different from PRCT. Researchers in RWS tend to perform long-term evaluation based on large quantities of subjects and quite large sample and focus on outcome measures which are clinically meaningful. Strict control on data collection, management and analysis are very important to RWS and PRCT. Owing to the complexity of clinical interventions and evaluation, PRCT is not completely suitable for clinical researches in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It is an inevitable tendency to apply RWS in clinical trials of TCM. We can explore the efficacy of TCM interventions through PRCT, and better understand the effectiveness through RWS. RWS will become a powerful approach to TCM clinical trials and postmarketing evaluation of Chinese medicines.
7.Risk factors related to malnutrition after acute ischemic stroke
Chinese Journal of General Practitioners 2010;09(11):788-790
Risk factors related to malnutrition were prospectively studied in 82 cases with acute ischemic stroke in our hospital during December 1,2007 and December 31,2008. The incidences of malnutrition on the first and ( 14 ± 1 )th day were 18% (15/82) and 30% (25/82). Study showed that age ( P = 0. 007 ), dysphagia ( P = 0. 043 ), malnutrition on admission ( P = 0. 003 ) were risk factors related to malnutrition on the ( 14 ± 1)th day after admission; there was no interaction between dysphagia and the other two factors, dysphagia was an independent risk factor related to malnutrition after acute ischemic stroke.

0.05)。But the DNA,RNA content and lactase activities and maltase activity in the small intestine mucosa in I-fed piglets were significantly greater than those of P-fed piglets. Conclusions:These results show that insulin influences the enzymatic activity and the proliferation of intestinal epithelial cells of IUGR newborn piglets.
9.Generation of antiidiotypic antibody to monoclonal antibody MGd1 directed against gastric carcinoma by phage antibody library technique
Journal of Third Military Medical University 2003;0(19):-
Objective To pave the way for developing recombinant antiidiotypic antibody(antiId)vaccine of gastric carcinoma by generating phagedisplayed antiId to monoclonal antibody MGd1 directed against the cancer. Methods Balb/c mice were immunized i.p. with MGd1 conjugated with KLH, and mRNA was isolated from the spleens of the immunized mice. VH and VL DNAs of the antibody were amplified separately by RTPCR and assembled into ScFv DNAs with a linker DNA by PCR. The ScFv DNAs were ligated into the phagemid vector pCANTAB5E and the ligated sample was transformed into competent E.coli TG1. The transformed cells were infected with M13KO7 helper phage to yield phage antibody ScFv library. After four rounds of panning to the library with MGd1, the MGd1positive clones were selected by ELISA from the enriched phages. The types of the antiId ScFv displayed on the selected phage clones were preliminary identified by competition ELISA. Results The VH,VL and ScFv DNAs were about 340 bp, 320 bp and 750 bp respectively. After four rounds of panning to the antibody library, 17 MGd1positive phage clones displayed antiId ScFv were selected from 40 enriched phage clones, among which 3 displayed ? or ? type antiId ScFv. Conclusion The successful generation of antiId ScFv to monoclonal antibody MGd1 by recombinant phage antibody library technology might lay a foundation for screening of novel candidate molecules for developing recombinant antiId vaccine of gastric carcinoma.
