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.

3.Expression,cloning and activity assay of active domain of human granzyme A
Chinese Journal of Immunology 2015;(1):77-81
Objective:To clone and express active domain of human granzyme A ( aGzmA ) and detect its biological activity.Methods:Human aGzmA gene was amplified by PCR from the full-length human granzyme A and inserted into prokaryotic ex-pression vector pET24a(+).The constructed recombinant plasmid pET24a-aGzmA was transformed to E.coli BL21(DE3) and induced with IPTG.The expressed product was identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blot.The recombinant protein was purified by the Ni2+affinity column chromatography and the enzyme activity was assayed with BLT substrate.Results: A DNA fragment of 700 bp was amplified by PCR.The recombinant plasmid pET24a-aGzmA identified by enzyme-digesting analysis and sequencing showed that aGzmA gene was inserted into vector plasmid correctly.SDS-PAGE analysis showed that there was a specific protein with a relative molecular mass of about 26 kD.Western blot analysis indicated that the protein could react with mouse anti-His monoclonal antibody specifically.The recombinant protein with high purity could be acquired from the inclusion bodies by the Ni2+ affinity column chromatography and the purified protein had good enzyme activity.Conclusion: The recombinant human granzyme A with good biological activity was prepared successfully.
4.ifferentiation inducing effect of Bifidobacterial surface molecules on human colonic cancer cells
Chinese Journal of Microbiology and Immunology 2001;21(2):186-190
Objective To investigate the direct antitumor effect of several surface molecules of Bifidobacterium bifidum 1101 such as whole peptidoglycan (WPG), lipoteichoic acid (LTA), and polysaccharides (PS) on human colonic adenocarcinoma cell line LoVo. Methods MTT assay and flow cytometry (FCM) were used to evaluate the effect of Bifidobacterial surface molecules on the growth of LoVo cells. Morphological study, fluorescent polarimetry and differentiation-specific enzyme analysis were used to determine whether LTA treatment could induce the differentiation of the cells. Results LTA but not WPG or PS significantly inhibited the proliferation of LoVo cells in a dose and time dependent manner. Cell cycle analysis by FCM revealed that LTA induced changes in cycle distribution resulting in G0/G1 phase commitment. Morphological alterations observed by light and electron microscopy indicated maturity of cytoplasm and nucleus following treatment by 50μg/ml of LTA. Membrane fluidity was also altered, and intestinal alkaline phosphatase specific for the differentiation of LoVo cells roused dramatically during culture in LTA. It was further found that LTA elevated [Ca2+]i which resulted from Ca2+ influx instead of the release of stored calcium. Conclusion These observations indicated that LTA was able to inhibit the growth of LoVo cells and induce the differentiation of the cells. Calcium influx may play an important role in this process.

Journal of Chinese Physician 2001;0(02):-
Objective To explore the ability of intestinal bacteria making use of creatinine in the patients with uremia and healthy subjects. Methods Creatinine, which was energy source only,and tetrazolium violet as indicator were added into intestinal bacteria of the patients with uremia and healthy subjects(n=10). It was positive that solution showed violet. Intestinal bacteria were added in Nutrient Broth medium with creatinine. The concentration of creatinine was measured before and after incubation. Results The solution of intestinal bacteria of the patients with uremia showed violet. The solution of intestinal bacteria of healthy subjects showed bright violet.The concentration of creatinine decreased after incubation in both groups. Conclusions The intestinal bacteria of uremic patients and healthy subjects had the ability to make use of creatinine. The former was stronger than the latter.

Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2010;26(2):19-21
Objective To explore the present state of clinical decision-making ability of nursing students in Sichuan Province. Methods The instrument for measuring the clinical decision-making ability of nursing students was adopted te investigate baccalaureate nursing students from four colleges and uni-versifies in Sichuan Province who had completed 10-12-month clinical practice. Results The overall mean score of clinical decision-making ability of baccalaureate nursing students in Sichuan Province was (72.86± 4.53). Among the dimensions, the scoring rate of Goal-setting Ability Dimension was the highest and that of evaluation-feedback ability dimension the lowest. In terms of the qualification rate of clinical decision-making ability, 99.52% of the students were qualified (4.82% good and 94.7% passed) and 0.48% was unqualified. Conclusions Baccalaureate nursing students in Sichuan Province have not showed a high level in clinical nursing decision-making ability and most of them are just qualified. No students have reached the level of excellence.
7.In vitro and in vivo models of osteosarcoma for research of enhanced green fluorescent protein expression
China Oncology 2010;20(1):27-30
Background and purpose: Mouse osteosarcoma model was widely used in osteogenic malignant tumor research, and it was helpful for studying the invasion and metastasis of the tumor cells when it was well marked in vivo. The purpose of this study was to establish mouse sarcoma cell lines (S180) that were infected with enhanced green fluorescent protein(EGFP). Methods: EGFP-S180 expressing strong EGFP fluorescence was acquired by electroblot, and supplemented with G418 (800 mg/mL), c-Myc was detected by laser scanning confocal microscopy. Meanwhile, the cancer-bearing model was established subcutaneously within the abdominal cavity. Results: EGFP-S 180 cells were cloned. There was no significantly difference between c-Myc expressions in S180 cells and those in EGFP-S180 cells (P>0.05), and between the cancer-bearing time subcutaneously and the time within abdominal cavity (P>0.05). Conclusion: According to in vitro and in vivo assay, it showed that EGFP-expressing S180 cells could be used for studying further the tumor biological behavior with fluorescence technology.

10.New molecular targets and novel agents for human hepatoma
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 1987;0(01):-
Current anti-hepatoma agents in clinical aplication have not been proved to be satisfactory. The major obstacles are low efficacy, toxicity, and drug resistance. Identifying new drug targets and discovering new agents accordin gly with high efficacies and low toxicities have become the key part of the solu tion. Recent studies have shown that hyper-methylation of tumor suppressor gene s, interaction between hepatocyte growth factor and its receptor, vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptor, as well as cyclooxygenase-2 might be potential targets for hepatomachemotherapy. Indeed, agents acting on these targets have shown to be effective. In addition, other agents such as As 2O 3 have also shown th eir activities against hepatoma.
