1.Ocular biometric characteristics of acute and chronic primary angle-closure glaucoma in Chinese patients
Journal of Central South University(Medical Sciences) 2014;(4):333-337
Objective: To compare the ocular parameters of acute angle closure glaucoma (AACG) and chronic angle closure glaucoma (CACG). Methods: Totally 106 patients with primary angle closure glaucoma were recruited: 58 patients with AACG and 48 with CACG. All patients were divided into 3 groups: AACG attack eyes group, AACG uninvolved fellow eyes group and CACG group and underwent the same ophthalmic examinations, comprising optometry, keratometry, and A-scan ultrasonography. The lens/axial length factor (LAF) and relative lens position (RLP) were calculated. Results: The AACG attack eyes had a significant shallow anterior chamber depth, thick lens, short axial length and larger LAF. hTere tended to be a reduction in the percentage of LAF>0.20 in AACG attack eyes, CACG eyes and AACG uninvolved fellow eyes, though there were no statistically signiifcant difference in all groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: The eyes with AACG attack have a more crowded anterior chamber structure compared with uninvolved fellow eyes and eyes with CACG.
2.Effects of Qishen Yiqi Dropping Pill Combined with Telmisartan on Early Diabetic Nephropathy and Changes of Oxidative Stress Indicators
Chinese Journal of Information on Traditional Chinese Medicine 2014;(11):33-36
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Qishen Yiqi Dropping Pills combined with telmisartan on early diabetic nephropathy with Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome and changes of oxidative stress indicators. Methods Sixty patients with early diabetic nephropathy of qi-yin deficiency and blood stasis syndrome were randomly divided into treatment group (30 cases) and control group (30 cases). Both groups were given diabetes education, diabetes diet control and insulin injection. Patients in the control group took telmisartan orally, and patients in the treatment group were given Qishen Yiqi Dropping Pills additionally. The treatment course was 12 weeks. The indicators were observed before and after treatment including blood pressure (BP), fasting blood glucose (FBG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER), urinary 8-iso-PGF2α excretion rate, serum superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and malonaldehyde (MDA), and the clinical efficacy was evaluated. Results The total effective rate of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group, with statistical significance (Z=2.822, P=0.005). After treatment, the indicators including BP, FBG, HbA1c, serum MDA, UAER and urinary 8-iso-PGF2α excretion rate all decreased significantly in both groups (P<0.05). Serum SOD and GSH-Px increased significantly at the same time (P<0.05). BP, FBG and HbA1c were not statistically different between the two groups (P>0.05). However, serum MDA, UAER, and urinary 8-iso-PGF2αexcretion rate were significantly lower (P<0.05), and serum SOD and GSH-Px were significantly higher in treatment group than control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Qishen Yiqi Dropping Pill combined with telmisartan is effective in reducing proteinuria in patients with early diabetic nephropathy of qi-yin deficiency and blood stasis syndrome. Its protective mechanism for kidney is possibly related to inhibiting oxidative stress injury at the early stage of diabetic nephropathy.

5.Purification of monoclonal antibody in mouse ascites by membrane affinity chromatography
Journal of Cellular and Molecular Immunology 2001;17(1):84-86
Aim To purify monoclonal antibody in mouse ascites by a modified membrane affinity chromatography(MAC). Methods Human serum albumin HSA was adsorbed on the zeta-bind membrane (ZBM), a positively charged nylon membrane filter. Then the mouse aecites containing mAbs were filtrated through the ZBM to cause the mAbs bind to HSA adsorbed on ZBM. Finally,the purified mAbs were dissociated from the ZBM with guanidine hydrochloride solution. Results A sheet of ZBM(diameter 50mm) absorbed with HSA filtrated by 10 mL ascites could reach its maximum mAb binding capacity after two rounds of re-fitration. The dissociation of mAb from ZBM need only one round of filtration of dissociating solution. The purified mAb displayed a single band after PAGE. Sensitivity of detedcting HSA with purified mAbs was 20-fold higher than that with unpurified ascites in dot innunogold filtration assay(DIGFA). Conclusion The modified MAC with ZBM is a much easier, time-saving and effective method for affinity purification of antibodies in ascites.

Objective To investigate the clinic features of extra-intestinal manifestations ( EM ) of ulcerative colitis (UC) in Chinese patients in Liao ning Province. Methods Two hundred and five UC cases in the First Hospital of China Medical University from Jan. 2002 to Feb. 2007 were reviewed retrospectively. Chi-square test was used to test the difference between groups. Results Skeletal and mouth manifestation were the most frequent extra-intestinal manifestations (6. 83% ). The incidence of parenteral performance in patients less than 40 years old was significantly higher than that in patients more than 40 years old (P <0. 01). There was no significant difference between male and female ( P > 0. 05). Our data showed that the extensive colitis had the highest incidence of extra-intestinal manifestations than of the other two types, LUC and DUC. Most extra-intestinal manifestations presented in UC active period ( P < 0. 05 ). The incidence of extra-intestinal manifestations in severe cases was significantly higher than that in mild cases(P <0. 05). There was a trend of increasing frequency from mild to moderate to severe type cases ( P < 0. 05 ). The occurrence of extra-intestinal manifestations was significantly higher in the group with disease course more than five years than that with less than five years group ( P < 0. 05). Conclusions Extra-intestinal manifestations had a high incidence in UC. The most frequently involved organs were joints, mouth, hepatobiliary, skin and eyes system. The patient could have multiple extra-intestinal manifestations and there was a tendency that EM was more likely occurred among patients in the higher age, active phase, longer course, severity degree of the disease.

Purpose:To explore the clinical significance of VEGF in the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of common malignant tumors. Methods:The levels of serum VEGF were measured by sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 544 patients with malignant tumors and 87 healthy subjects. At the same time,another 6 tumor markers including CEA and CA50 were measured by immunoradiometric assay (IRMA) in 544 malignant tumor patients. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of VEGF detection were calculated respectively. The relationship between the pre-treatment levels of serum VEGF and their clinical effect, and between the positive expression number of five kinds tumor markers jointly and the therapeutic effect were analyzed respectively. Results:1. The serum VEGF levels in patients with all kinds of malignant tumors were higher than those of the controls, the mean serum VEGF were relatively higher in patients with gastric cancer, liver cancer and lung cancer. 2. According to the cutoff of medicine reference of VEGF (200.6ng/L), its sensitivity and specificity were 54.2% and 95.4% respectively. There was a significant difference between the sensitivity of serum VEGF in patients with tumor burden (74.9%) and that in patients without tumor burden (20.4%)(P
