1.Methods of acquiring tumor antigens
Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(10):750-753
How to acquire new tumor antigens is a hotspot in cancer research currently.According to the nature of antigen epitope binding its ligand,we can identify and get unknown antigen epitope even its amino acid sequence through some analytical techniques and experiments,from T lymphocytes and monoclonal antibody levels.So the molecular mechanisms of tumor immunity will be more distinct.
2.Histone deacetylase 6: structure, functions and development of selective inhibitors.
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica 2015;50(1):7-14
Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is an unique subtype of histone deacetylases with two tandem deacetylase domains and substrate specificity for non-histone proteins. It is involved in many important physiological and pathological processes and has become a promising therapeutic target in recent decades. Different kinds of potent HDAC6-selective inhibitors have been reported around the world. This paper reviews the progress in the study of structure and functions of HDAC6 as well as the development of HDAC6-selective inhibitors.
3.One case of pleomorphic adenoma originates from inferior nasal turbinate.
Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2014;28(20):1622-1622
Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign tumor of the salivary glands. Originating from the nasal cavity is very rare. This paper reports one case of pleomorphic adenoma of the inferior nasal turbinate to analyze the clinic characteristic of this disease. Although these tumors are rarely seen in everyday practice, one should consider this possibility as an uncommon aetiology when confronted with an intranasal mass.

4.Determination of contents of berberine type alkaloids in Huanglian Shangqing Pills(Tablets)
Chinese Traditional Patent Medicine 1992;0(12):-
AIM: To separate and determine berberine type alkaloids in Huanglian Shangqing Pills(tablets)(Rhizoma Coptidis,Fructus Gardeniae,Fructus Forsythiae,Cortex Phellodendri Chinensis,etc.). METHODS: RP-HPLC was used,and the mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-solution of potassium phosphate(3.4 g?L~(-1),adjust pH to 3.0 with H_3PO_4)(40∶60),with 1.7 g?L~(-1) SDS.The detecting wavelength was at 345 nm. RESULTS: The contents of five kinds of berberine type alkaloids,berberine,palmatine,coptisine,epiberberine and jatrorrhizine in Huanglian Shangqing Pills(tablets) produced by 10 pharmaceutical factories were determined. CONCLUSION: The method is simple,accurate with a good recovery and repeatability.The method can be used to control the quality of Huanglian Shangqing Pills(Tablets).

Objective To explore the impact of juxtapapilary duodenal diverticulum on the formation of choledocholithiasis and biliary manometry after surgery.Methods The clinical data of 97 patients with common bile duct stones who successfully underwent ERCP and biliary manometry treatment from May 2011 to March 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.Ninty-seven common bile duct stone patients were divided to two groups,that is,52 cases of juxta-papilary duodenal diverticulum (experimental group) and 45 cases without juxta-papilary duodenal diverticulum (control group).The biliary manometric results before and after EST of both groups were compared.Results The basal pressure of sphincter Oddi of the experimental group before EST [(84.8 ± 26.1) mmHg] was higher than that of the control group before EST [(75.5 ± 14.6) mmHg] (P < 0.05,1 mmHg =0.133 kPa);and that after EST was also higher than that of the control group after the operation[(19.8 ± 14.2)mmHg VS (15.9 ± 9.8)mmHg,P < 0.05].The biliary pressure of common bile duct stone patients with JPD was higher than those without JPD before and after EST but with no significant difference(P > 0.05).The biliary manometry was performed in 81 patients after one month and it was found that the basal pressure of sphincter Oddi of experimental group was still higher than that of the control group [(34.8 ± 17.1) mmHg VS (29.6 ± 15.3)mmHg,P < 0.05].The biliary pressure of common bile of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group [(19.9 ± 11.2) mmHg VS (17.1 ± 13.1)mmHg,P <0.05].Conclusion The existence of juxtapapilary duodenal diverticulum increases the pressure of common bile duct and Oddi sphincter and leads to CBD stones.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effects of stellate ganglion block (SGB) with oxycodone and acetaminophen tablets on the treatment of migraine. Methods 100 patients with migraine were divided into two groups randomly. They received SGB with oxycodone and acetaminophen tablets (experimental group) or only SGB (control group) respectively. The parameters included pain intensity before and 1 d,3 d,1 w,1 m and 3 m after the treatment, and pain relief rate of each patient. The adverse effects were also evaluated. Results The pain intensity described as numeric rating score (NRS) decreased in the two groups at each time point. In the experimental group, the value of NRS was significantly less than that in the control group at 3d,1m and 3m after the treatment. The effec-tive rate ha the experimental group and the control group were 88% and 68%. Conclusion SGB with oxycodone and acetaminophen tablets is more effective for migraine and deserves widely used in patients.

Objective Investigate the effect of applying clinical pathway on the patients undergoing leiomyoma of uterus. Methods As an experimental group of patients, 50 cases of uterine leiomyoma are treated with clinical pathway. By contrast, another 100 cases are treated with the traditional medical care as control group. Results Waiting time for surgery and hospital stay of the experimental group are less than the control group; and the average hospitalization cost of experimental group is lower than the control group (P< 0.01). Conclusions Application of clinical pathway management will regulate the activities of medical treatment, ensure the quality of health care, improve the feeling of patients, increase efficiency of hospital services, reduce the financial burden of patients, increase the hospital social benefits.

China Oncology 1998;0(04):-
Purpose:To compare the survival rates of hyperf ractionated radiotherapy plus concurrent chemotherapy with hyperfractionated rad iotherapy alone in the treatment of stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) a nd analyze the prognostic factors. Methods:Between December 1992 and December 1995, 144 NPC patien ts were randomized into hyperfractionated radiotherapy plus concurrent chemother apy (R +C) and hyperfractionated radiotherapy alone (R alone).Radiotherapy were similar in the two groups: 1.2 Gy/f, twice a day. Chemotherapy was given to R + C patients before and during the course of radiotherapy. Results:The 5-year overall survival rates of the R + C and R alone groups were 63.3% and 50.7%,repectively . The factors influencing the resu lts were N stage,chemotherapy and the peripheral blood hemoglobin concentration . Conclusions:Hyperfractionated radiotherapy plus concurrent chem otherapy can improve the survival rate, especially for the patients with N2-N3 stage.The negative prognostic factors for Ⅲ/Ⅳ NPC are N2-N3 stage, radiothera py alone and the reduction of hemoglobin during treatment.

Objective: Selecting items from item pool for the development of WHOQOL-OLD by six statistical methods. Testing the function of Cronbach ? and test-retest reliability method for item selection.Methods:Collecting data by the means of multistage sampling, two new methods based on Cronbach ? and test-retest reliability were employed to select items in view of internal consistency and stability in addition to the commonly used methods such as methods of dispersion and correlation coefficient. Results: Items selected by different methods were remained to constitute the old module of WHOQOL; items with high internal consistency or high stability were selected by methods based on Cronbach ? and test-retest reliability. Conclusion: The four commonly used methods select items from aspects of representation, independence and discrimination, while methods based on Cronbach ? and test-retest reliability select the items in view of internal consistency and stability. The two new methods are recommended together with the conventional methods in item selection.
