2.Roles of neuroimaging in endovascular recanalization in patients with ischemic stroke
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2013;21(11):860-866
Ischemic cerebrovascular disease accounts for about 70% of all types of stroke,and large vessel occlusive stroke is a major subtype of ischemic stroke.Currently,endovascular revascularization has been widely used in the treatment of large vessel occlusive stroke.The development of multi-modal neuroimaging has provided technical support to this.This article reviews the roles of neuroimaging in endovascular recanalization in patients with ischemic stroke.
3.Effects of NTI-tss splint in the treatment of myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome
Journal of Practical Stomatology 2014;(2):273-275
20 patients with myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome(MPDS)were were treated by NTI-tss splint only during night for 2 months.After treatment,VAS decreased(P <0.01)and active maximum mouth opening degree increased(P <0.01).NTI-tss splint is ef-fective in the treatment of MPDS.Its side effect needs to be further observed.
4.Cancer stem cells and tumor vascular heterogeneity
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2014;(2):134-137
Neovascularization is the fundamental process during tumorigenesis and tumor malignant progression. According the traditional neovascularization theory, tumor vasculatures are mainly developed through angiogenesis by sprouting from preexisting ves-sels and vasculogenesis via recruitment of endothelial progenitor cells from the bone marrow, and the endothelial-dependant vessels are the only way that provides tumor with blood. However, more and more studies indicate that tumor microcirculation network is heteroge-neous and cancer stem cells (CSCs) play an important role during tumor neovascularization. This review highlights the contribution of CSCs to tumor microcirculation modes and the potential anti-angiogenesis targets. Furthermore, this review presents insights for perti-nent studies in the future.
5.Systematic perspective in the decision making of liver cancer management
Chinese Journal of Hepatobiliary Surgery 2011;17(12):959-962
Currently,as various liver cancer-related treatments in China become developed,doctors also become super-subspecialized.This results in the doctors having more specialized skills and knowledge but a narrower vision.There is a tendency for these super-subspecialists to think and to make decisions based on a narrow perspective.As a consequence,interdisciplinary collaboration is becoming difficult.This hinders further improvement of treatment of liver cancer which has reached a plateau for many years.The present paper proposes a systematic perspective in decisionmaking for treatment of liver cancer.There are seven aspects which include the basic nature of medical care,the history of development of treatment,liver anatomical and functional characteristics,multicentric tumour occurrence,pathology,tumor immunology and biology.We aim to broaden the doctors’ vision and optimize their clinical thinking process.
6.Progress in diagnosis and treatment for ductal carcinoma in situ
International Journal of Surgery 2011;38(12):835-838
Increases in diagnostic frequency of breast ductal carcinoma in situ(DCIS) have followed the introduction of mammographic screening in past years.It is very important to distinguish the clinical syndrome of DCIS.The management of surgery for DCIS includes mastectomy,lumpectomy plus radiotherapy and lumpectomy alone; axillary lymph node dissection(ALND) in DCIS has not been recommended and sentinel lymph node biopsy(SLNB) is still controversial; adjuvant radiotherapy for ipsilateral whole breast and endocrine treatment can reduce local recurrence,prevent second primary breast tumor,preclude regional and distant metastasis.But whatever we take towards the DCIS above,there is little disturbance to DCIS' s inherent prognosis.Doctors must pay enough attention to this point.
7.Reflection on the establishment of medical and health curriculum standard for higher voca-tional education
Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2013;(7):654-656
One of the biggest differences between ordinary undergraduate education and higher vocational education is more emphasis on the cultivation of students' vocational skills so as to adapt to so-cial demand and employment. In order to overcome the deficiencies in current teaching outline of voca-tional education and to change from subject knowledge teaching to applied skill cultivating , medical and health curriculum standard including 'curriculum philosophy, curriculum goal, curriculum content, curriculum implementation' four elements was formulated based on concepts of 'education as base , practice orientation and lifelong learning' and cultivation mode combining industry standard with cur-riculum teaching goal and combing work with study. All measures taken above were aimed at promoting coordinated development of students' knowledge, ability and emotion and satisfying the social demand for talent.
8.The cost-benefit analysis of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography before laparoscopic cholecystectomy in cholecystolithiasis patients unsuspected choledocholithiasis
Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2013;36(35):17-19
Objective To study the cost-benefit analysis of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) before laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in cholecystolithiasis patients unsuspected choledocholithiasis.Methods The clinical data of 960 cholecystolithiasis patients unsuspected choledocholithiasis were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into MRCP group (665 cases) and non-MRCP group (295 cases) according to the application of MRCP or not before LC.The total hospitalization expense,missing diagnosis rate of postoperative choledocholithiasis,secondary admission rate,hospitalization time and intraoperative bile duct injury between the 2 groups were compared.Results There were no statistical differences in total hospitalization expense and hospitalization time between the 2 groups (P > 0.05).The missing diagnosis rate of postoperative choledocholithiasis and secondary admission rate in MRCP group were significantly lower than those in non-MRCP group [0.15% (1/665) and 0 vs.3.73% (11/295) and 3.73% (11/295)],there were statistical differences (P < 0.05).There was no intraoperative biliary tract injury in the 2 groups.Conclusions In terms of cost-benefit analysis,routine MRCP before LC for cholecystolithiasis patients unsuspected choledocholithiasis is benefiting.Routine MRCP before LC could effectively reduce the missing diagnosis of the postoperative choledocholithiasis and the secondary admission rate without increasing the total hospitalization expense of patients.
9.Hemorrhagic transformation in acute ischemic stroke
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2013;21(10):781-786
The frequency and influence on prognosis of hemorrhagic transformation (HT) after acute ischemic stroke are still uncertain with mixed results in previous studies.Slight hemorrhage transformation may will not worsen stroke patients' short-and long-term prognosis,but some MRI studies suggest that HT may impede patients to get a dramatical improvement of neurological function.We aimed to determine the overall frequency of and risk factors for HT.More importantly,we discussed the mechanism,subtypes of HT and the influence of HT subtypes on prognosis.
10.Network pharmacology: new opportunity for the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine.
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica 2012;47(6):696-703
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with the characteristics of holistic view and treatment based on syndrome differentiation, has rich clinical experience thousands of years and demonstrates promising effects to cure complex disease. However, due to the features of multi-component, multi-target and synergistic effect existed in TCM, the effective substances and mechanisms of action are not clear, the qualities of TCM are out of control, and scientific and correct assess system is waiting to be established. The network pharmacology is a novel subject based on the construction of multi-layer networks of disease-phenotype-gene-drug to predict the drug targets in a holistic view, and promote efficiency of drug discovery. Methodologically, network pharmacology integrated the notions of comprehensive research and systematic assessment which agree with the characteristics of holistic view and treatment based on syndrome differentiation in Chinese medicine. Our paper reviewed the challenge and chance within the modernization of TCM, the concept and technology of network pharmacology, and its preliminary application in investigation of TCM. The theoretical system of network pharmacology is emphasized, and the potential prospect of its application in modernization in TCM is focused.
