1.The present status of Chinese clinical practice guidelines
Chinese Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2010;18(6):327-329
Clinical practice guidelines are systematically developed clinical multi-discipline advisory statements which assist providers, recipients and other stakeholders to make informed decisions about appropriate health interventions. Chinese government and some clinical academic communities began to develop the domestic guidelines after 2000. Nevertheless, there were still some shortcomings presented in the domestic guidelines if assessed by the advanced appraisal instrument of the developed countries. There were four aspects as follow. The first, misunderstood the guidelines are the rule or text book. The second, ignored presentation of the procedure about development of guidelines. The third, there were a lack of high level evidences. The fourth, not declared editorial independence. However, it is necessary to develop the domestic guideline of China. With rising conflicts between the increasing needs for health care and shortage of our environment resource, development of the guidelines become one of the key steps in the process of clinical practice.
2.Progresses in Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase-activated Protein Kinases
Progress in Biochemistry and Biophysics 2006;0(07):-
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways are involved in multiple important cellular responses. To activate their downstream protein kinases by phosphorylation is a crucial manner for MAPK family members to fulfill their physiological functions. Downstream of MAPKs, there exist three structurally related MAPK-activated protein kinases (MAPKAPKs or MKs), i.e., MK2, MK3 and MK5. Once upon activated by MAPKs, MKs signal to different cellular targets, to regulate gene expression at the levels of transcription and translation, control cytoskeleton remodelling and cell cycle, and mediate cell migration and embryonic development. Recently, based on the gene knockout studies, the function divisions among different MK subfamily members are gradually clear, leading to tremendous advancements of our knowledge on MKs.

4.Guideline for developing clinical guidelines
Chinese Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2013;(3):140-142
Clinical practice guidelines have been widely applied worldwide.Compared with the developed countries,however,the development of guidelines still has many limitations in China,which is mainly due to the lack of a guideline for guiding this process.Such a guideline,defined as “a structured and coordinated programme designed with the specific aim of producing several clinical practice guidelines should be able to specify the development,dissemination,implementation,evaluation,and update of each clinical practice guideline.Furthermore,the lack of high-quality randomized controlled trials and cohort studies also restricts the development of high-level guidelines.After the development of such a guideline for developing guidelines,we can expect the faster development of Chinese clinical practice guidelines that are more carefully designed,more reliable,and more practical.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the susceptible factors and resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii in ICU,in order to create a novel thought of effective prevention and control of A. baumannii cross-infection. METHODS Specimens were collected from ICU patients with infections from Sep 2006 to Sep 2008. The infection characteristic was analyzed and the drug sensitivity was tested to know the risk factors of infection retrospectively. RESULTS The factors of low immunity,severe wound,invasive operation and using ventilator led to the serious cross-infection of A. baumannii in ICU .In vitro drug susceptibility test,the sensitive rates only to cefoperazone/sulbactam and amikacin were higher. They were 65.09% and 72.64%,respectively. CONCLUSIONS It has great significance in the prevention and control of A. baumannii cross-infection in ICU to strengthen the environment disinfection,were education of nosocomial infection knowledge among medical staff,executeing the hand-washing system strictly,useing the antibiotics rationally,keeping the susceptible crowd and adopting de-escalation strategy of prevention and control.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of gelatin sponge particles(GSP)or polyvinyl alcohol particles (PVA) for hemoptysis secondary to bronchiectasis or pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods The clinical data on 271 patients with bronchiectasis- or tuberculosis-induced hemoptysis were retrospectively analyzed. The efficacy and rates of recurrence and complications were analyzed. Results A total 271 patients were included in this study, 176 of whom suffered from bronchiectasis and the rest 95 had tuberculosis. One-week cure rate was signifi-cantly higher in bronchiectasis group than in tuberculosis group(73.3%vs. 46.3%,P<0.05),and one-year recur-rence rate was significantly lower in bronchiectasis group(17.6%vs. 26.3%,P<0.05). One-year recurrence rate was slightly higher in patients receiving GSP than in those undergoing PVA(bronchiectasis group:22.2%vs. 10.3%, P<0.05;tuberculosis group:28.8%vs. 22.2%,P>0.05). No severe complications occurred. Conclusions In-terventional artery embolization therapy for hemoptysis secondary to bronchiectasis is better than tuberculosis-induced hemoptysis,and PVA is more effective than GSP. Recurrence of massive hemoptysis mostly occurrs within one month ,and most of the patients are complicated with blood supply and have a history of hemoptysis.

BACKGROUND:In treatment of lumbar diseases, lumbar fusion therapy fails in 20%of cases and may lead to a series of complications such as pain, intervertebral space col apse, and delayed kyphosis deformity.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of nucleus pulposus on interbody fusion after removing the anterior column disc of rabbit lumbar vertebra.
METHODS:A total of 36 healthy Japanese white rabbits were randomly and equal y divided into three groups, with 12 rabbits in each group. (1) Group of anterior longitudinal ligament+bone grafting:The L3 intercalated disc were wel exposed and anterior longitudinal ligament was stripped, obtaining a space to L3 intercalated disc, then the iliac bone was implanted. (2) Group of excising anterior 1/3 disc+bone grafting:After the anterior 1/3 disc tissue was excised, the iliac bone was implanted and sutured as Group of anterior longitudinal ligament+bone grafting. (3) Group of excising anterior 1/3 disc+fixation:After the anterior 1/3 disc tissue was excised, the iliac bone was implanted and the anterior column fixation was performed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Biomechanical testing showed that, at 12 weeks, the verticality tensile force in the group of anterior longitudinal ligament+bone grafting was obviously higher than other two groups, and have better fusion rate and could bear stronger force. Lateral position lumbar radiography showed that, the bone graft was absorbed and no new bone grew into the intervertebral space in the group of excising anterior 1/3 disc+bone grafting at 12 weeks;the formation of osseous bridge was found in the group of excising anterior 1/3 disc+fixation;complete bony fusion was found in the group of anterior longitudinal ligament+bone grafting. Histological examinations showed that, at 12 weeks, no bone tissue formed in the group of excising anterior 1/3 disc+bone grafting;a smal amount of bone trabecula and osteocytes were observed in the group of excising anterior 1/3 disc+fixation;a great quantity of newborn bone trabecula and osteocytes, remodeling lamel ar bone and canalis haversi structure were observed in the group of anterior longitudinal ligament+bone grafting. The stability of anterior column has notable effect on interbody fusion, after the anterior column disc is destroyed, the free nucleus pulposus may affect spinal fusion, so restoring the stability of the anterior column may promote interbody fusion, but stil cannot get solid spinal fusion.
