4.Research and thinking on road traffic injury.
Acta Academiae Medicinae Sinicae 2007;29(4):455-458
The risk factors of traffic crash include drinking/drunk drive, accident proneness, fatigue driving, speeding, and poor vehicle quality. This article introduces the protection, emergency treatment, and basic scientific research of road traffic injury (RTI). As a public health issue, RTI is preventable, and personal factor is a key problem. It is important to establish an accurate and comprehensive RTI database, which may provide necessary information for the epidemiological research and crash prevention. The author also gives some suggestions on road traffic safety development in our country.

7.Detection of urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor and its clinical significance in cervical cancer
Cancer Research and Clinic 2008;20(12):829-831
Objective To study the content of urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor(uPAR)in the peripheral blood to investigate its value for the invasion metastasis and prognosis in cervical cancer.Methods The plasma level of suPAR in 30 normal women.94 patients with cervieal cancer was measured by using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Results The mean level of suPAR was(0.5023±0.1724)ng/ml in plasma of 30 normal women,while that in plasma of 94 cervical cancer patients was (1.0433±0.2736)ng/ml.The plasma suPAR level of cervical cancer patients was increased in comparision with that of normal women (P<0.01).The suPAR level in the cervieal cancer patients did not show a significant correlation with histological classification,histological grade,style of growth and tumor size(P>0.05),but was related to clinical stage.lymphnode metastasis and depth of invasion (P<0.05).Conclusion Plasma suPAR would be a more reliable and convenient indicator in monitoring uPA system,and could be widely used as a new tumor marker in clinic.
8.Effects of morphine and tramadol pre-emptive employment on expressions of substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide mRNA in dorsal root ganglia following acute myocardial ischemia in rats
Chinese Journal of Emergency Medicine 2011;20(1):35-38
Objective To investigate the effects of morphine and tramadol pre-emptive use on the expressions of substance P mRNA (SPmRNA) and calcitonin gene-related peptide mRNA (CGRPmRNA) in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) following acute myocardial ischemia in the rats. Method Twenty-four adult male SD rats weighing 270 to 300 g were randomly (random number) divided into four groups (n = 6, in each): group Ⅰ(sham operation), group Ⅱ (myocardial ischemia), group Ⅲ (morphine pre-emptive use) and group Ⅳ (tramadol pre-emptive use). The left anterior descending branch of coronary artery was occluded (CAO) for 3 hours in rats of group Ⅱ and Ⅳ.In group Ⅲ morphine 1.25 mg·kg-1 was injected through caudal vein 15 minutes before CAO.In group Ⅳ,tramadol 12.5 mg·kg-1 was daministered via caudal vein 15 minutes before CAO.In 3 hours after myocardial ischemia, the tissue of DRG (T1-5) were taken for detecting the expressions of SPmRNA and CGRPmRNA by using RT-PCR. One-way ANOVA was used for statistical analysis. Results In the tissue of DRG, the expressions of SPmRNA(0.93±0.02) ,α-CGRP mRNA(0.98±0.02) and β-CGRP mRNA(0.83 ± 0.02)were up-regulated in group Ⅱ compared with those in group Ⅰ (0.84±0.04),(0.86±0.01),(0.45±0.03) (P <0.05),and decreased markedly in group Ⅲ (0.88 ± 0.03) ,(0.90 ± 0.02), (0.67 ± 0.02) (P < 0.05) and group Ⅳ (0.88±0.04) ,(0.90 ± 0.01),(0.66±0.01) (P < 0.05), but showed no difference between group Ⅲ and Ⅳ (P > 0.05). Conclusions Morphine and tramadol pre-emptive use can significantly inhibit the expressions of SPmRNA and CGRPmRNA in rat's dorsal root ganglia after CAO.
9.Effects of substance P pretreatment on norepinephrine-induced β1-adrenoreceptor expression in cultured rat cardiomyocytes
Chinese Journal of Anesthesiology 2008;28(7):651-653
Objective To investigate the effects of substance P (SP) pretreatment on the expression of β1-adrenoreceptor(β1-R) induced by norepinephrine (NE) in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyecytes.Methods The cardiomyocytes obtained from 1-3 day old SD rats were cultured for 72 h.The experiment was performed in 2 parts.In part 1 the cells were seeded in 15 well plate and randomly divided into 5 groups (n=3 wells each):control group (C1)and 4 NE groups were exposed to NE 10-9, 10-8,10-7,10-6 mol/L respectively (NE1,2,3,4).In part Ⅱ the.cells were seeded in 12 well plate and randomly divided into 4 groups (n=3 wells each): group I control (C2): group II NE 10-7 tool/L; group Ⅲ (SN)was pretreated with SP 10-6 mol/L 30 minbefore NE 10-7 mol/L and group IV (NSN)was treated with NK-1 receptor antagonist (NK-1 tachykinin receptor antagonist,S3144) 30 min before SP pretreatment.After exposure to NE for 3 h the expression of β1-R in the rat cardiomyecytes was detected using flow cytometry.Results In part Ⅰ the expression of β1-R was significantly higher in group NE1-3 than in control group (C1),with the highest expression in group NF3.In part Ⅱ the expression of β1-R was significantly higher in group Ⅱ (NE) than in control group (C2) while lower in group Ⅲ (SN) than in control group Ⅱ.(NE).There was no significant difference in the expression of β1-R between group Ⅰ (C2) and group Ⅲ and Ⅳ (NSN).Conclusion Substance P pretreatment can inhibit the up-regulation of β1-R expression in cultured rat cardiomyocytes induced by norepinephrine through activating NK-1 receptor.
10.Treatment and control status of elderly prostatic hyperplasia with metabolism syndrome
Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2013;(2):175-177
Objective To investigate the clinical features,treatment,medication and abnormal metabolism control status in elderly benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with metabolic syndrome (MS).Methods The 397 patients with BPH aged >60 years (294 with MS) were retrospectively analyzed.The clinical features,treatment and control status were analyzed.Results Body mass index,waist circumference (BMI),2 hPBG,systolic pressure,diastolic pressure,TG and uric acid,urinary albumin/creatinine ratio,urinary albumin were higher and HDL-C was lower in BPH with MS than without MS (P<0.05).Prostate volume,PSA level,IPSS score,quality of life score were higher in BPH patients with MS than without MS (P<0.05).Treatment modality analysis showed that lower urinary tract symptoms was mild,watchful waiting accounted for 22.3%,urinary retention or obstruction related operation treatment for 8.7%,moderate to severe symptoms related oral drugs treatments for 67%,the oral drug treatment was still the main mode of BPH.In the patients with abnormal levels of glucose metabolism,the target arrival rate (TAR) on FBG,2 hPBG and HbAlc were 49.6%,34.9% and 37.5%,TAR on all the three was 19.1%.In the hypertensive population,TAR on systolic and diastolic pressure were 44.1% and 82.5%,TAR on both two was 41.7%.TG,TC,LDL-C and HDL-C were 31.3%,35.4%,48.2% and 64.9%,on all the four was 29.9%.Conclusions The ratio of elderly BPH with MS is high,but the target arrival rate on control of urinary tract symptoms and abnormal metabolism component is not optimistic in spite of a positive drug administration.
