Chinese Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation 2003;0(04):-
Objective To observe the effects of hyperbaric oxygen on metabolic syndrome risk factors in the elderly. Methods Sixty-one patients were randomly divided into a hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) group which inhaled pure oxygen at 0.2 MPa,a normal pressure oxygen (NPO) group which inhaled oxygen at 0.1 MPa, and a normal pressure air (NPA) group which inhaled air in 0.1 MPa. Metabolic syndrome risk factors were then assessed before and after treatment. Results Before treatment, the incidence of metabolic syndrome risk factors did not differ between the various groups. After treatment, blood sugar, blood pressure,blood fluidity and insulin resis-tance had declined significantly in the hyperbaric oxygen group, and the difference as compared to the NPO and NPA groups was significant. Conclusion The results indicate that HBO can help control metabolic syndrome risk factors in the elderly, controlling blood sugar, adjusting blood pressure, reducing blood viscosity, and improving dyslipidemia.

Journal of Chongqing Medical University 2007;0(09):-
Objective:To compare the clinical effect of lateral and posterior approaches during the total hip replacement(THA) with Minimal-Incision Surgery(MIS).Methods:Twenty-three cases were performed with lateral approach,All were performed by the same surgeon.23 cases who had undergone a MIS THA with lateral approach were compared with 36 cases who had undergone MIS THA with the posterior approaches.The average follow-up period was 12 weeks.The patients were compared with respect to the length of the incision,surgical time,intra-operative blood loss,Harris hip score,component malpositioning,complications.Results:There were no differences between the two approaches with regard to the length of the skin incision,operating time,Harris hip score,component malpositioning and major complications.Statistically significant differences were found in two groups in terms of blood sedimentation and C-reaction protein.Conclusion:Both approaches can be effectively performed without increased risk of complications.Significant benefits of posterior approaches include less soft tissue damage.

6.THE INHIBITING EFFECT OF ATROPINE ON GROWTH HORMONE RELEASE IN NORMAL SUBJECTS AND ACROMEGALIC PATIENTS
Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 1986;0(03):-
Atropine, as an anticholinergic agent, can inhibit the synthesis of acetylcholine in the arcuate nucleus in hypothala-mus and then reduce the secretion of GH. The present study showed that GH secretion was increased during exercise and the elevated GH level could be inhibited by atropine in normal subjects, while in patients with active acromegaly the high basal GH levels could be inhibited neither by 100g of glucose loading nor by 0.6 mg atropine. The blood sugar concentrations remained unchanged during atropine test. It was suggested that atropine test could be used as a GH release inhibitory test in acromegalic patients with overt diabetes mellitus.

8. Systematic establishment of allosteric drug design methodology and their applications in drug discovery
Journal of Shanghai Jiaotong University(Medical Science) 2019;39(2):109-112
Allostery, or allosteric regulation, is the phenomenon in which protein functional activity is altered by the binding of an effector at an allosteric site that is topographically distinct from the orthosteric, active site. As one of the most direct and efficient ways to regulate protein function, allostery has played a fundamental role in innumerable biological processes of all living organisms, including enzyme catalysis, signal transduction, cell metabolism, and gene transcription. It is thus considered as "the second secret of life". The abnormality of allosteric communication networks between allosteric and orthosteric sites is associated with the pathogenesis of human diseases. Allosteric modulators, by attaching to structurally diverse allosteric sites, offer the potential for differential selectivity and improved safety compared with orthosteric drugs that bind to conserved orthosteric sites. Harnessing allostery has thus been regarded as a novel strategy for drug discovery. Despite much progress having been made in the repertoire of allostery since the turn of the millennium, the identification of allosteric drugs for therapeutic targets and the elucidation of allosteric mechanisms still present substantial challenges. These challenges are derived from the difficulties in the identification of allosteric sites and mutations, the assessment of allosteric protein-modulator interactions, the screening of allosteric modulators, and the elucidation of allosteric mechanisms in biological systems. To address these issues, we have developed a panel of allosteric services for specific allosteric applications over the past decade, including (i) the creation of the Allosteric Database, with the aim of providing comprehensive allosteric information such as allosteric proteins, modulators, sites, pathways, etc., (ii) the construction of the ASBench benchmark of high-quality allosteric sites for the development of computational methods for predicting allosteric sites, (iii) the development of Allosite and AllositePro for the prediction of the location of allosteric sites in proteins, (iv) the development of the Alloscore scoring function for the evaluation of allosteric protein-modulator interactions, (v) the development of Allosterome for evolutionary analysis of query allosteric sites/modulators within the human proteome, (vi) the development of AlloDriver for the prediction of allosteric mutagenesis, and (vii) the development of AlloFinder for the virtual screening of allosteric modulators and the investigation of allosteric mechanisms. Importantly, we have validated computationally predicted allosteric sites, mutations, and modulators in the real cases of sirtuin 6, casein kinase 2α, phosphodiesterase 10A, and signal transduction and activation of transcription 3. Furthermore, our developed allosteric methods have been widely exploited by other users around the world for allosteric research. Therefore, these allosteric services are expected to expedite the discovery of allosteric drugs and the investigation of allosteric mechanisms.
