1.Apoptin induces apoptosis in tumor cells
Journal of International Oncology 2008;35(5):330-333
Apoptin,a chicken anemia virus-derived protein.selectively induces apoptosis in trans-formed or tumor cells but not in normal cells.The tumor specificity of apoptin is thought to be related to its cel-lular localization.The apoptin-induced apoptosis is p53-independent and can not be blocked by overexpressionof Bcl-2.But activation of Caspase-3 is essential for apoptin-induced apoptosis.These features make apoptin a potential candidate as a novel therapeutic and diagnostic tool in cancer treatment.
2.Adjuvant chemotherapy and neo-adjuvant treatment of gastric cancer
Cancer Research and Clinic 2008;20(10):649-653
Gastric cancer is common in the world. Only 40 % of the patients can be treated by radical operation. Even for those patients who undergo radical resection, the rate of recurrence or distant metastasis is high. To increase the chance of curative surgery and improve survival for gastric cancer, combined-modality treatments have been investigated. There are different therapeutic modes, chemotherapeutic regimens and treatment results between Eastern countries and Western countries. The current status and advance on the adjuvant and neo-adjuvant treatment of gastric cancer were reported.
3.Preparation of Monospecific Polyclonal Antibodies Against Glechoma hederacea Agglutinin
Progress in Biochemistry and Biophysics 2006;33(11):1113-1119
Glechoma hederocea agglutinin (Gleheda) is a novel glycosylated lectin isolated from the leaves of G. hederacea. Like other glycosylated proteins, the detection of Gleheda by immunological methods is often hampered by the cross-reactivity of the polyclonal antibodies with unrelated glycoproteins. Hence a protocol to purify monospecific polyclonal antibodies from a crude antiserum raised against Gleheda was developed. After selective ammonium sulfate precipitation and successive affinity chromatography on columns of Sepharose 4B with immobilized Gleheda and Robinia pseudoacacia agglutinin (RPA), respectively, ion-exchange chromatography on a column of Q Fast Flow was used for further purification. The specificity of the antibody fractions from each step was tested by double immunodiffusion assay and analyzed by Western blot. Results revealed that affinity chromatography of the immunoglobulin fraction on the immobilized Gleheda antigen yielded an antibody preparation that still cross-reacted with many proteins in leaf extracts. Depletion of nonspecific cross-reacting antibodies directed against the glycan part of the glycoprotein by affinity chromatography on immobilized RPA removed most but not all nonspecifically reacting antibodies. Only upon further purification by ion exchange chromatography an IgG fraction of monospecific antibodies that reacted exclusively with Gleheda could be obtained and accordingly was suitable for immunodetection studies. This antibody purification procedure promises simplicity and efficiency. In addition, this method does not require expensive facilities.
4.Roles of the liver regeneration phosphatase-3 and its inhibitors in tumor
Journal of International Oncology 2012;39(6):415-417
Phosphatase of regenerating liver-3 (PRL-3) is a novel small molecule protein-tyrosine-phosphatase,which plays an important role in the oncogenesis and deveopment of tumors.Studies show that PRL-3 regulates neoplasm progress through participating in multiple signal pathways.Its high expression can significantly promote neoplasm metastasis in cancer tissue.However,there is no expression of PRL-3 in most normal tissue.PRL-3 is expected to be a potential tumor maker of diagnosis and a new target for the therapy of cancer.

Appropriate fluid therapy is essential to reduce perioperative complications, shorten hospitalization days and improve prognosis of postoperative patients. In this article, we reviewed the relevant issues about fluid therapy strategy for postoperative patients such as the variation of body fluid in patients after operation, the assessment of fluid status, the establishment of the goal of fluid therapy and the selection of strategy or fluid for fluid therapy in patients after operation.
6.Laws of syndrome element combination in stable angina pectoris: a study based on cluster analysis and corresponding-correlation analysis
Journal of Integrative Medicine 2008;6(7):690-4
OBJECTIVE: To study the classification of common symptoms and the laws of syndrome element combination in 251 cases of stable angina pectoris (SAP) by using cluster analysis and corresponding-correlation analysis. METHODS: A total of 251 SAP cases were selected and their information from four diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine was recorded. The classification of common symptom and the laws of syndrome element combination were investigated by cluster analysis and corresponding-correlation analysis. RESULTS: Twenty-five symptoms found in 251 SAP cases were divided into four types by cluster analysis: deficiency of heart qi, deficiency of spleen qi, deficiency of qi and yin, and phlegm accumulation and blood stasis. The deficiency of heart qi had the closest relation to phlegm accumulation and blood stasis. By corresponding-correlation analysis, the deficiency of qi had the closest relation to blood stasis, next was turbid phlegm and heat stagnation, and then deficiency of qi and deficiency of yin. CONCLUSION: Blood stasis due to deficient qi is the key factor in pathogenesis of SAP. Deficiency of qi plus blood stasis, deficiency of qi plus deficiency of yin, blood stasis plus turbid phlegm, deficiency of heart qi plus blood stasis plus turbid phlegm are common syndrome element combinations of SAP. It is proved that cluster analysis and corresponding-correlation analysis are the proper methods for studying laws of syndrome element combination.

Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2013;20(17):2572-2573
Objective To observe the effect of Tongsaimai Tablets on the leptomeningeal collateral circulation established after acute cerebral infarction by TCD.Methods 50 patients with acute cerebral infarction were randomly divided into control group (received conventional treatment) and treatment group (received Tongsainai Tablets three times a day,1.75g each time,on the basis of conventional treatment).The leptomeningeal collateral circulation of the two groups were observed after 6 months.Results The factors which may affect the leptomeningeal collateral circulation,such as age,the prevalence of hypertension and hyperlipidemia,original compensatory status of cerebral artery between the two groups had no statistically significant differences.The open rate of leptomeningeal collateral circulation in the treatment group was 64.00%,which was significantly higher than that of the control group(32.00%)(P =0.024).Conclusion Tongsaimai Tablets can promote the formation of leptomeningeal collateral circulation in patients with acute cerebral infarction.
9.Exercise in the treatment of osteoporosis
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2013;(37):6657-6663
BACKGROUND:Osteoporosis is a condition resulting in an increased risk of skeletal fractures due to a reduction in bone mass and degradation in bone microstructure. Treatment of osteoporosis usual y involves the application of pharmacological agents as the first choice. Pharmacotherapy alone is not sufficient for the comprehensive management of osteoporosis, as pharmacotherapy has no effect on increasing muscle strength, improving balance ability, and preventing fal s. Exercise, considered as an important non-pharmacologic therapy, plays a considerable role in the prevention of osteoporosis. The importance of therapeutic exercises in the treatment of osteoporosis has been recognized gradual y.
OBJECTIVE:To discuss the effect of exercise in the treatment of osteoporosis combined with some of the latest research literatures.
METHODS:Clinical reports and mechanism researches about effects of different types of exercise on bone strength especial y the treatment of osteoporosis were retrieved from CNKI database and Medline database with the key words of“osteoporosis, bone mineral density, bone strength, treatment, exercise, stress, tai chi, muscle, bone architecture”in both Chinese and English from January 2001 to February 2013. The repetitive researches and atypical reports were eliminated.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSLON:Therapeutic exercises including aerobic exercise, resistance, impact movement, and vibration, which can safely increase bone strength and muscle strength, improve equilibrium function, and prevent fal s and fractures. For spinal deformity patients, appropriate orthotics can improve the security and promote exercise therapy. As with drug therapy, therapeutic exercises are also individualized. Exercise program should be selected under the insurance of good compliance and security. Exercises that involve high strain rates seem to be more effective than others. However, al these benefits are comparatively smal , and should be maintained by continuous exercises.
