Chinese Journal of Medical Aesthetics and Cosmetology 2002;0(01):-
Objective To investigate the biochemical differences between the cartilage of the residual ear of microtia patient and normal person. Methods Seven cartilage specimens from 7 about 10-years-old microtia patient's residual ears and 7 normal ears from cadaver of the same age were measured by electrophoretic mobility shift assay and spectrophotometer for collagen glycoaminoglycan (GAG), chondroitin sulfate (Chs), hyaluronan (HA) and keratin sulfate (KS) .Results Biochemical analysis showed that no significant difference were found in the collagen contents of the two groups. The microtia cartilage had more GAG (49.00?25.60) ?g/mg than that of the normal (28.25?4.80) ?g/mg. The composition of GAG were different between two groups: microtia group (HA 38.96+4.97 %, Chs 29.02 %?4.12 %, KS 32.16 %?7.41) % and normal group (HA 32.94 %?3.24 %, Chs 33.10 %?2.61%, KS 33.96 %?1.66 %). There were differences in HA and Chs relative contents, but not in KS between the two groups. Conclusions There is no difference in the collagen content between normal and microtia ear cartilage. But the latter has more GAG than the former. As for the constitution of GAG, microtia cartilage has a higher percentage of HA, lower percentage of Chs, and no significant difference in KS.
2.Comparison and analysis on water extraction process of the preferred SuXingErChen Syrup by orthogonal test and multivariate nonlinear regression analysis
Chinese Journal of Biochemical Pharmaceutics 2015;35(10):147-150
Objective To select optimum water extraction process of SuXingErChen Syrup by orthogonal test and multivariate nonlinear regression analysis.Methods Naringin was extracted by water, Used the naringin content and extraction rate of extractum as indexes.Based on the orthogonal test and multivariate nonlinear regression analysis to make sure the best way for extracting naringin from SuXingErChen Syrup.Results The optimal conditions of water extraction process was that the herbs were added seven times the amount of water without infiltration,extracted two times with 80 min each time,which was selected by multivariate nonlinear regression analysis.Conclusion The process of water extraction for the preferred Su XingErChen Syrup is exact, high effective and suitable for production needs.
3.Application and Thinking of Computer Technology in the Field of Traditional Chinese Medicine
Chinese Journal of Information on Traditional Chinese Medicine 2016;23(5):16-19
Computer technology is one of the greatest achievements of the 20th Century. Its appearance not only brings a breakthrough development in various fields, but also brings promotion to the development of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). TCM is a traditional medicine, and the modernization of TCM is urgent. Whether in the medical management or scientific research, the application of computer technology has penetrated into all levels. The following article described the contribution made by computer technology, pointed out possible problems and provided relevant thinking based on the application of TCM related systems and data mining technology.

Through the analysis on different development paths of western and Chinese medical ethics, this article proposed to construct the Chinese medical ethical review system. Although the medical ethical review system was originated in western countries, due to different origins of medical ethical thoughts, different cultures and beliefs among races, as well as different medical and science development models, the application of western medical eth-ical review system should not be mechanically used in China. The application should follow the idea of har-monization with differences. This article discussed on current status and significance of the construction of an ethical review platform which is suitable to the national conditions of China. It was also emphasized on the im-portance of ethics training among researchers.
8.Influence of some factors on the prognosis of the postoperative stage ⅢA-N2 non-small cell lung cancer
China Oncology 2001;0(03):-
Purpose:To identify clinical predictors of stage ⅢA-N2 in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Methods:From March 1995 to February 1998, 118 patients with pathological stage ⅢA-N2 non-small cell lung cancer who underwent a resection by Shanghai Chest Hospital were analysed. Prognostic factors were estimated from the date of operation using the Kaplan-Meier and log-rank analysis. The Cox regression model evaluated the influence of factors on the survival. Results:The overall of 3-year and 5-year survivals of the 118 patients were 40.5% and 18.4%. Margin, the number of N2 lymph nodes and stations, the cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy were associated with survival. In a multivariate analysis, the number of N2 lymph nodes and the cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy significantly influenced survival. Conclusions:The number of N2 lymph nodes and the cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy were important prognostic factors of stage ⅢA-N2 non-small cell lung cancer.

Objective To investigate the possibility of using poly-hydroxybutyate-hydroxyhexate p(3HB-co-3HH)), a modified extracellular matrix, the third generation of PHA family, as a scaffold for seeding of chondrocytes from the residual ear of microtia patients to generate tissue engineered cartilage in athymus mice. Methods The residual ear cartilage from eight 7-years-old microtia patients was enzymatically dissolved by collagenase, and chondrocytes were harvested and seeded into foams of PHB-PHH. After incubation for 1 week in vitro, chondrocyte-polymer constructs were implanted subcutaneously into 8 athymus mice. A control groups was established by subcutaneous implantation of PHB-PHH foams alone. One athymus mice were killed at 4 weeks postoperatively, and 6 were sacrificed at 8 weeks. The specimens were dissected and examined macroscopically and histologically. Results Specimens harvested from chondrocyte-polymer constructs subjected to gross morphologic and histology analysis demonstrated new cartilage formation, and those from control groups showed no cartilage formation. The one of 4 weeks still had some remains of the scaffold with nodules of neocartilage. After 8 weeks, all the 6 mice had neocartilage formed almost the same as natural. The PHB-PHH scaffold were totally absorbed. Conclusion These findings demonstrate that the foam of PHB-PHH is not only a good "matrix" for cartilage tissue engineering, but also optimal scaffold for the seeding of chondrocytes from the residual ear to generate new cartilage that would be useful in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Chondrocytes from the residual ear of microtia patients are good candidates for generation of tissue engineered cartilage.

Many researches have focused on the wnt-frizzled cascade in the recent years, while much work has been done in neoplastic diseases and embryology, the role of the wnt-frizzled signal transduction pathway in cardiovascular diseases has only recently begun to be explored. It plays a very important role in many physiological and pathophysiological processes, such as its transduction pathway, the healing after myocardial infarction, the proliferation, differentiation and orientation of cardiomyocytes, angiogenesis/neovascularization, cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure, the deposition of the extracellular matrix and so on. This article is aimed at its relation with myocardial infarction and the role of this pathway in cardiovascular diseases.[
