1.Role of myosin regulatory light chain phosphorylation in the pathogenesis of chronic heart failure
Journal of Shanghai Jiaotong University(Medical Science) 2017;37(8):1165-1168
In the embryonic period, myosin regulatory light chain (MYL2) plays a pivotal role in the development and function of the heart. A large number of studies have previously confirmed that the mutation of MYL2 gene, also known as MLC2, confers intimate associations with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. MYL2 gene mutation impacts the structure and function of myosin, thereby leading to the occurrence and progression of hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathy as well as the following chronic heart failure. Importantly, MYL2 phosphorylation renders crucial effects in the processes of cardiac contraction, ventricular torsion and cardiac function.

OBJECTIVETo study clinical results of reduction and fixation under arthroscopy for the treatment of osteochondrotical lesion in the knee.
METHODSFrom December 2012 to December 2013, 4 patients with the knee joint osteochondritis lesion and free bone fragments were treated with arthroscopy to detect the stripped cartilage, and then the cartilages were reduced with small incision and fixed by cartilage nail. There were 3 males and 1 female, with age of 15, 15, 20 and 27 years old. The durations of the disease were 1 d, 5 d, 1 month and 1 year. All the patients had swelling and effusion in the knee joint, and the floating patellar test was positive. CT examination showed bone defects and loose bodies. The Lysholm, VAS, and Tegner scale were used to evaluate the knee joint functions before and after operation.
RESULTSAll the patients underwent successful surgery. Postoperative CT showed good location of the cartilage without loss of reduced bone and cartilage. All the patients were followed up, and the duration ranged from 10 to 13 months, with a mean of 12 months. In one patient, arthroscopy examination was conducted for a second time to examine the connection of the fracture part to the surrounding cartilage, and it showed that the internal fixator was not absorbed. The Lysholm, VAS and Tegner scale of all patients were better than those before operation.
CONCLUSIONTreatment of osteochondritis lesion with the fixation of absorbable cartilage nails may reconstruct the integrity of articular surface and recover the stability of joints, and it is an effective treatment method.

4.Analysis of risk factors for allograft survival by COX model after renal transplantation
Chinese Journal of Urology 2001;0(06):-
Objective To analyze the factors influencing the long-term allograft survival in cadaver- ic renal transplantation.Methods Parameter data were obtained from 249 patients who received immuno- suppressive agents after renal transplantation.Health resources were evaluated for 1-5 years;and 14 relevant factors,including age,sex,therapeutic regimen choice and complications,etc were analyzed.Life table method and COX regression model were used to analyze the risk factors influencing the outcomes and to calculate the survival rates.Results Following renal transplantation,the survival rates of recipients who lived for 1,2 and 3 years were 72.6%,56.0% and 40.8%,respectively;and the rates of those who lived for 4 and 5 years both were 22.5%.The median survival time was 34.9 month.With the therapy prolonged,the survival benefit in MMF group was superior to that in AZA group,with the median survival time being 38.9 months 30.6 months,respectively.COX regression model showed that the main predictive factors were treatment regi- men(P=0.000),follow-up period(P=0.000),patient's compliance(P=0.000),acute rejection episode (P=0.020),sex(P=0.001)and hospitalization period(P=0.040).Conclusions Life table and COX regression model are useful methods for evaluating long-term outcome and influencing factors in renal trans- plant patients.

It has proved to be difficult for administrators of scientific research to improve process management,especially to manage cooperative research projects accomplished by various institutions.In this paper,we took the process management of Scientific Research in Public Interest (SRI-PI) based on a Grade 3A hospital and other 19 institutions as an example,to analyze the application of PDCA cycle in projects management.It is concluded that the comprehensive quality management of research projects should follow the scientific procedure of PDCA cycle.

Objective To develop a new visual feedback postural adjusting ability assessing system, and to study its application value. Methods Pressure sensor was used to determine the changes of the body weight center by tracing the pressure variation of the soles and heels, then eight target points in different directions were added into the software interface to enable the subject move his body weight center to the target point intentionally, finally the system was evaluated by loading on back.Results Program design was performed for the testing system. It's proved that posture adjusting ability might decrease with 20% load on back or the body leaning backwards. Conclusion The newly developed visual feedback postural adjusting ability testing system can be used to research standing balance function.

Objective To explore the application of event related potentials (ERPs) in the comprehensive intervention for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children. Methods P 300 of ERPs and Conners' measuring scale were tested in 31 children with ADHD before and 6 months after comprehensive intervention. At the same time, P 300 was tested in 36 healthy children as control. Results In the children with ADHD, the P 300 latency was longer and amplitude was lower than those in the healthy children before comprehensive intervention (P

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of open decompression drainage on acute pulpitis.Methods Totally 180 acute pulpitis patients hospitalized during January 2012 to September 2014 in our department were selected and randomly divided into control group and observation group (n=80 each).The control group was treated with pulp inactivating agent and the observation group was given open decompression drainage.The clinical effects,analgesia efficiencies at 7d after treatment,treatment course and the complications were compared between the 2 groups.Results There was significant difference in the effective rate between control and observation groups after treatment [61.3% (49/80 cases) vs.86.3% (69/80 cases),P<0.05].The analgesia efficiencies at 7d after treatment was 46.3% (37/80 cases) in control group and 73.8% (59/80 cases)in observation group (P<0.05).There was no significant difference in treatment course between two groups [(7.7±1.4) times vvs.(6.1± 1.2) times,P>0.05]].6 patients developed periapical periodontitis in control group,and only 4 cases in the observation group (P>0.05).Conclusions Early open decompression drainage has good clinical effects and analgesia efficiencies in treatment of acute pulpitis,which is worthy of clinical application.
