1.How to perform the follow-up analysis of visual field test
Ophthalmology in China 1993;0(01):-
In the course of follow-up analyses of visual field test,it should take more than two visual field tests that had similar results as baseline test,and some factors should be taken into account,such as accordant testing conditions,reliable indeces,test errors and fluctuation effects,and so on.The indeces of Mean Deviation(MD)and Pattern Standard Deviation(PSD)could reflect the whole change trend of follow-up visual field test,while sensitivity value of every point and their pattern deviations could help to analyse tiny changes of visual field tests.Those statistic softwares provided by automatic perimetry should be used adequately.Through the follow-up analyses of visual field test,glaucoma doctors could adjust therapy schemes in time in order to obtain objective intraocular pressure and stabilize visual field and glaucoma.
2.Experimental studies of angiocytotoxic therapy against growth and metastasis of pancreatic carcinoma
Chinese Journal of Digestion 2001;0(10):-
Objective The anti tumor and anti metastasis effects of angiocytotoxic therapy (TNP 470/Gemcitabine) were investigated using a model of human pancreatic carcinoma by surgical orthotopic implantation (SOI). Methods The SOI model was developed by suturing small pieces of SW1990 tumors into the tail of pancreas in nude mice. Twenty four male mice were randomly divided into control group, G100 group receiving 100 mg/kg Gemcitabine intraperitoneally injection on days 0,3,6 and 9 after transplantation, and T30 group receiving 30 mg/kg TNP 470 subcutaneous injection on alternate days for 8 weeks. Another thirty two male mice were randomly divided into control group, T15 group, G50 group and combination group (TNP 470 30 mg/kg+ Gemcitabine 50 mg/kg). Animals were sacrificed ten weeks after transplantation. Results G100 group had a significant inhibitory effect on tumor growth of pancreatic carcinoma compared to T30 group, while the metastasis of tumor was significantly inhibited by T30 group compared to G100 group. Neither G100 group nor T30 group showed a significant improvement on survival rate. T15 group and G50 group alone had no significant inhibitory effect on the tumor growth and its metastasis. Mean while a significant anti tumor, anti metastatic effect and a significant improvement on the survival rate were observed in combination group. The inhibitory effect of G50 group was enhanced by 2 times with T30, and 2/8 of the tumors bearing animals were cured by the combination therapy. The level of microvessel density in T30 group was significantly lower than that in T15 group and control group ( P

Tumor 2008;28(12):1023-1028
Objective: To research the proteins differentially expressed during evolution of experimental colorectal carcinoma (normal mucosa→adenoma→carcinoma→liver metastasis) so as to find the early diagnostic biomarker of colorectal cancer as well as to understand its pathogenesis mechanism. Methods: Ninety male rats were injected with 1, 2-dimethylhydrazine intraperitoneally and sacrificed at different weeks to establish the experimental colorectal tumor models (from normal mucosa to liver metastasis). These samples at different stages were collected and divided into four groups (normal mucosa group, adenoma group, carcinoma group, and liver metastasis group). The proteins of these 4 groups were extracted to conduct 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The differential protein spots were examined by mass spectrometry and analyzed by bioinformatics. Results: Ten differentially expressed proteins were identified by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry including α-enolase, cardiac α-actin (CA), transgelin protein, myosin regulatory light chain smooth muscle isoform (MRLC), glyceraldehydes-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), haptoglobin, disulfideisomerase (DI), creatine kinase mitochondrial (CKm), heat shock protein-8 (HSP-8) and Keratin complex-2 (KC-2). Conclusions: There exist differentially expressed proteins at various stages during the evolution of colorectal carcinoma. These proteins may be the candidate biomarkers for the early diagnosis of colorectal carcinoma. Proteomic technology is an effective way for preliminary identification of the tumor biomarkers.
