Journal of Chongqing Medical University 1986;0(04):-
Objective:To study the expressions of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in fresh and two preserved amniotic membranes (AM),and to explore their biological vitality.Methods:The amniotic membranes from the healthy puerperia with abdominal delivery were randomly divided into three groups:fresh group,DMEM/glycerol preserved group at -80℃ and glycerol preserved group at 4℃ (for 1 and 3 months).Immunohistochemical method was used to investigate the changes in the expressions of HGF and bFGF among the three groups.Results:HGF and bFGF were distributed in the epithelium of AMs mostly.The expressions of HGF in both preserved AMs for 1 and 3 months decreased significantly compared with fresh AM (P
3.Effects of murine vascular endothelial growth factor (mVEGF) and anti- vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) antibady on human umbilicus vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) proliferation
Chinese Journal of Rheumatology 2001;5(3):160-161
Objective To study on effects of mVEGF and anti-VEGF antibody during cultured HUVEC proliferation in vitro.Methods Endothelial cell proliferation was assayed using human umbilical vein endothelial cells stimulated with mVEGF and with CIA joint extracts and was used 3 H-TaR incorporation.Results The anti-VEGF neutralizing antibody can inhibit the proliferation of HUVEC stimulated with mVEGF and with CIA joint extracts,whose suppression percents were 72.2% and 69.9%,respectively.Conclusion mVEGF specifically promotes the growth of vascular endothelial cells.During early stage of CIA development,expression of VEGF in the joint increases and VEGF is expressed biologically active and can be inhibited by anti-VEGF neutralizing antibody.

7.Pharmacogenetics of individualized treatment of asthma
International Journal of Pediatrics 2016;43(9):673-676,714
Asthma, a complex polygenetic disease, has individual differences in patient′s response to asthma drugs,which is mainly related to gene polymorphism. These genes include beta 2-adrenaline receptor genes(ADRB2),the glucocorticoid receptor genes(NR3C1) and leukotriene synthase genes(LTC4S and ALOX5),etc. Pharmacogenomics can realize individualized treatment of asthma,reduce the admission rate and the mortality rate,and reduce the cost of treatment. Pharmacogenomics of children asthma is reviewed in this arti-cle,hoping to provide help for the individualized treatment of asthma.
8.Risk factors of ischemic cerebral stroke after transient ischemic attack
Journal of Clinical Neurology 2017;30(4):271-274
Objective To investigate the risk factors of ischemic cerebral stroke after transient ischemic attacks (TIAs).Methods The clinical data of 184 TIA patients were collected.The risk factors of ischemic cerebral stroke after TIA were analyzed.Results Compared with no ischemic cerebral infarction group, the rate of elderly (≥60 years old), hypertension, diabetes, smoking and drinking history in ischemic cerebral infarction group (P<0.05-0.01).There was no statistical significance in gender and hyperlipidemia between the two groups (all P>0.05).Compared with no ischemic cerebral infarction group, the rate of attack time≥30 min, attack frequency≥3, course of disease≥24 h were significantly increased (P<0.05-0.01).There was no statistical significance in TIA types between the two groups (all P>0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed there were a positive correlations between elderly, hypertension, diabetes, smoking and drinking history and ischemic cerebral stroke after TIA (OR=29.799, 95%CI: 2.189-405.569, P=0.011;OR=0.649, 95%CI: 0.038-6.850, P=0.005;OR=8.569, 95%CI: 1.314-55.862, P=0.025;OR=0.158, 95%CI: 0.025-0.980, P=0.048).Conclusion Elderly, hypertension, diabetes, smoking and drinking history are independent risk factors for ischemic cerebral stroke after TIA.
9.Effect of Liujunzi soup on allergic cough in remission stage and total inflammation of children
Chinese Journal of Biochemical Pharmaceutics 2017;37(9):91-93
Objective To evaluate the effect of Liujunzi soup on the total course of disease and inflammatory mediators in patients with remission of allergic cough. Methods Eighty six patients with allergic cough were enrolled in our hospital from April 2011 to April 2012. The patients were randomly divided into observation group (n = 43) and control group (n = 43). The control group was given basic western medicine treatment, the observation group in the control group on the basis of another treatment of six gentleman soup. The levels of inflammatory cytokines, pulmonary function and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups in clinical efficacy, hospitalization time, total course of disease, IL-2, TNF-α and IL-6. Results The total effective rate was 90.70% in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (72.09%)( P<0.05). The duration of hospitalization (13.35 ± 3.24) d and the total course of disease (17.68 ± 4.53) d were significantly shorter than those in the control group (16.23 ±3.10) d, (20.35 ± 4.67) d (P<0.05). The levels of inflammatory factors and pulmonary function in the observation group were statistically significant compared with the control group (P<0.05). No adverse reactions occurred in both groups. Conclusion Liujunzi Decoction combined with western medicine can improve the level of inflammatory cytokines and lung function, shorten the length of hospital stay, the total course of disease and high safety, and have good clinical value.
10.Clinical Observation of Acupuncture-moxibustion for Endometriosis
Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture and Moxibustion 2017;36(6):711-714
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture-moxibustion in treating endometriosis (EM). Method Fifty EM patients were randomized into two groups, 25 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by acupuncture-moxibustion, while the control group was intervened by oral administration of Mifepristone tablets. Abdominal pain, pelvic lump, and relevant indicators were observed before and after the treatment, and the therapeutic efficacies were compared.Result After 6-month treatment, symptoms including abdominal pain obviously subsided in the treatment group and the total effective rate was 92.0%, versus 52.0% in the control group, and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). The pelvic lump size was significantly changed after the treatment in both groups (P<0.05), suggesting that the lump size became smaller in both groups after the treatment;there was a significant difference in comparing the pelvic lump size between the two groups after the treatment (P<0.05), indicating that the lump size was reduced more significantly in the acupuncture-moxibustion group. The level of serum CA125 changed significantly after the treatment in both groups (P<0.05), suggesting that serum CA125 dropped in both groups after the treatment; there was a significant difference in comparing the level of serum CA125 between the two groups after the treatment (P<0.05), indicating that serum CA125 dropped more significantly in the acupuncture-moxibustion group. A year later, there was a significant difference in comparing the relapse rate between the two groups (P<0.05), revealing that the relapse rate was significantly lower in the acupuncture-moxibustion group than in the medication group.Conclusion Acupuncture-moxibustion can produce a marked therapeutic efficacy in treating EM.
