Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2003;0(08):-
Objective: To study the protective mechanism of Donepezil on apoptosis of PC12 cells induced by amyloid beta protein. Methods: PC12 cells were cultured as previously,then amyloid beta protein and Donepezil were used to treat PC12 cells.Morphology observation,TUNEL and immunocytochemistry were employed to investigate the damage of PC12 cells induced by A?,protection of Donepezil on apoptosis of PC12 cells and the expression of Bcl2 and Caspase-3 in A?-treated group and Donepezil-treated group. Results: A? induced apoptosis of PC12 cells in a dose-dependent way;Compared to the group treated with A? only and the group post-treated with donepezil, the apoptosis index of PC12 cells(17.29?0.83)% and expression of Caspase-3(26.46?2.87)% were significantly downregulated in the group pretreated with donepezil(P0.05). Conclusion: This study demonstrated that Donepezil can protect PC12 cells against apoptosis induced with amyloid protein,which was closely related to the time of interference.The mechanism of protection was involved with the expression of Bcl-2 and Caspase-3.
3.Research progress of SlRT1 with eye diseases
International Eye Science 2015;(5):803-806
?Silent information regulator protein 1 ( SlRT1 ) is a kind of histone deacetylases class lll on which cell metabolism coenzyme NAD+ is dependent. By the transcriptional regulation, it participates in the regulation of gene transcription, energy metabolism and cell aging process, which can prolong the lifespan of organisms and delay the development of various age-related diseases and has attracted much attention in the field of anti - aging research. ln recent years, studies have shown that SlRT1 occupies an important position in the pathogenesis of many ophthalmic diseases, especially in ocular surface diseases, glaucoma, cataracts, uveitis, and ocular fundus diseases, etc. There is a possibility that the promotion of SlRT1 activity would be the new drug target of ophthalmic therapy. The paper will review studies on SlRT1 and ophthalmic diseases.
4.Surface marker changes during induced differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into neuronal-like cells
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2010;14(14):2643-2646
BACKGROUND:Adult central nervous system lacks the ability to regenerate,so it is of great significance to find a new source of neural stem cells.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the differences between basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF)and epidermal growth factor(EGF)in inducing bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)to differentiate into neurons in vitro.METHODS:MSCs were isolated from normal human bone marrow using density gradient centrifugation and cell attachment method.MSCs were plated in 96-well culture plates at a density of 0.25×108/L and cultured with 200 μL DMEM/F12 for 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,and 7 days,with 20 μL MTT(5 mg/mL)in 5 wells at each time point.The supernatant was removed and 100 μL dimethyl sulphoxide was added to each well for 4 additional hours of incubation.In addition,some cells were exposed to bFGF and EGF.Growth curve was determined with MTT method.Telomerase activity were examined by TRAP(PCR)-ELISA.Additionally,the functional differences of the two cytokines were checked by RT-PCR.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:RT-PCR revealed that nestin,glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP)and neurofilament subunit M (NF-M)mRNA were expressed in un-induced MSCs of passage 4.Nestin expression reduced at 7 days.The expression of micro-tubule-associated protein-2(MAP2)mRNA was not detected until the induction,and increased thereafter.The expression of MAP2 mRNA was greater in bFGF+EGF and bFGF alone groups compared with EGF alone group,and the expression of GFAP in EGF alone group was greater than other groups.Results showed that MSCs can be cultivated,proliferated and differentiated into neural stem cells in vitro.The differentiated neural stem cells have the activity of proliferation,but not have the ability of infinite proliferation as tumor cells.

6.Advances in Research on Diagnosis and Treatment of Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome
Chinese Journal of Bases and Clinics in General Surgery 2003;0(02):-
Objective To facilitate a better understanding of the progress in the research, diagnosis and treatment of Peutz Jeghers syndrome (PJS).Methods Almost all the papers related to PJS from various magazines published in English and Chinese in recent years were reviewed. Current progresses in PJS research and related diagnosis and treatment were discussed in this review.Results PJS is a rare inherited disease with autosomal dominant trait, which is characterized by the presence of hamartomatous gastrointestinal polyps and mucocutaneous pigmentation of the lips, buccal mucosa, and digits. This syndrome is commonly complicated with intestinal obstruction, bleeding, or intussusception,and patients with this disease are at high risk for the development of both GI and extraintestinal malignancies. STK11 on chromosome 19p13.3 are responsible for most cases of PJS. The polyps of PJS tend to have a high incidence of malignant change, and the recurrence of malignancy after treatment is also high. Conclusion The STK11 has been identified as one of the main genes responsible for PJS and has close correlation with formation and development of tumors. Patients with PJS are at high risk for the development of both GI and extraintestinal malignancies.

10.Positron emission tomography in the management of Hodgkin lymphoma
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2012;21(1):16-18
Accurate imaging of lymphoma is essential for optimal management. Positron emission tomography(PET-CT),by providing both anatomic and functional information,is fundamentally altering staging,monitoring of response,response assessment,and choice of treatment modality for lymphomas, including Hodgkin lymphoma. This imaging technique, when used carefully in conjunction with standard testing,increases the sensitivity of lesion detection, provides an opportunity to monitor the quality of response during treatment, permits separation of fibronecrotic scartissue from viable tumor, and adds prognostic information.PET-CT has become integral to modern lymphoma management, but as a relatively new diagnostic technique,it is still being studied and neither its full potential nor its major limitations are fully understood. Discussed herein are recent observations from clinical trials and single-center experiences with PET-CT to explore its advantages and limitations from a clinician’ s point of view.
