1.Fecal Microbiota Transplantation and Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Chinese Journal of Gastroenterology 2016;21(8):491-493
Inflammatory bowel disease( IBD),comprising Crohn’s disease( CD)and ulcerative colitis( UC),is a chronic intestinal inflammatory disease and its etiology has not yet been clarified. Studies showed that intestinal microbiota disorder is closely associated with the development and progression of IBD. Currently,fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT)is considered as a special organ transplantation and used in treatment of IBD,Clostridium difficile infection, irritable bowel syndrome,metabolic syndrome,etc. This article reviewed the relationship between FMT and IBD.
2.A qualitative study on the perception of health status in people with prehypertension
Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2017;33(7):500-503
Objective To understand the perception of health status in people with prehypertension. Methods Using the phenomenological method, 15 people with prehypertension were interviewed; the interview results were analyzed deeply. Results Five themes were extracted about health status:obscured perception about prehypertension and hypertension;absence of noticeable symptoms;necessity to change life-style, but lack of effective health self-management; many factors hindering effective health self-management; desire for professional help. Conclusions Perception of health status in people with prehypertension indicated deficiencies in health self-management. What they need were accessible professional support and intervention program that pay attention to people′s health belief and behavioral motivation.
3.Research advances in pharmacogenomics of warfarin
Chinese Journal of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics 2004;0(12):-
Warfarin is widely used as one of the coumarins anticoagulation drugs in the clinical.Every physician has been disturbed by its narrow therapic index and bleeding complications.It is a difficult thing for the doctor to use it rationally.However,recently,with the rapid development of molecule biology,some research find that gene polymorphism of pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics cause the individual variability in drug response.In this review,we focus on the latest development in pharmacogenomics of warfarin at home and abroad in order to give some suggestions for the individual use of warfarin.
4.The vasodilative and antioxidative effects of Carvedilol——a new generation of β-receptor blockers
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2001;14(3):265-267
Carvedilol is a novel β-receptor blocker with vasodilative and potent antioxidative effects. It may inhibit the activation of transduction factors induced by oxygen radicals, block the gene expression in cardiac remodeling, and decrease cardiomyocyte apoptosis. It is reported that carvedilol may reduce the in vivo oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) and auto-antibody titre of antioxidant and increase the antioxidative capacity of LDL. Carvedilol and its metabolite BM-910228 may inhibit the inotropic response induced by oxygen radicals. Carvedilol may provide cardiac protection in acute myocardial ischemia and improve cardiac function, reduce the mortality rate of heart failure.

Objective To evaluate medium-term results in critical limb ischemia (CLI) patients undergoing endovascularly revascularization based on concepts of angiosomes.Methods Clinical data were reviewed on 612 CLI patients who had isolated below-the-knee (BTK)lesions and were treated by endovascular technology from June 2006 to May 2012.Following the angiosome model of perfusion,286 patients (357 limbs)were treated by directly revascularizing the feeding artery.326 patients (455 limbs)were treated by revascularizing non-feeding artery to improve perfusion to ulcer indirectly.Primary endpoints included ulce-healing rate as of 3 months,amputation-free survival( AFS),freedom from major amputation (FFMA) and recurrence rate of CLI.Results During follow-up(mean,24 ± 18 months),ulce-healing rate during 3 months of direct treatment group was obviously higher than that of indirect group (82.4% vs.66.4%,X2 =26.16,P <0.05).The fourth year AFS was 48% ±5% vs.37% ±6%,t =3.44,P <0.05,and the fourth year FFMA was 73% ±4% vs.58% ±3%,t =4.61,P <0.05.In recurrence rate of CLI,there wasn't significant difference between direct group and indirect group(42% ±5% vs.45% ±6%,t =- 0.64,P > 0.05 ).Conclusions Following the angiosome model of perfusion,direct revascularizing the feeding artery of CLI patients can obviously improve ulcer-healing rate during 3 months,medium-term AFS and FFMA.

Objective:To investigate influence of living locations on the personality characteristics of the only child and none-only children in an air force academy.Methods:1921 cadets were tested by the Chinese version of the MBTI-G.Results:Scores of the only child cadets from cities on the Sensing-Intuition and Thinking-Feeling dimensions were higher than those of none-only children group from cities and those of the only child group from countries.The scores of them on the SN scale were 93.0?18.5,90.4?17.6 and 90.1?17.7(t=2.25,P=0.025;t=1.99,P= 0.048).The scores of them on the TF scale were 94.6?22.6,89.1?21.1 and 88.4?21.0(t=4.02,P

Objective: To study chemical constituents of Cudrania tricuspidata . Method: The 80% ethanolic extract of Cudrania tricuspidata was analyzed by column chromatography of silica gel and Sephadex LH 20. Result: Six compounds were extracted from the ethanolic extract part. Conclusion: They were elucidated as syringaresinol, schizandrin, gomisin A, gomisin H, ? sitosterol and ? sitosterol 3 O ? D glucopyranoside respectively. Among them, syringaresinol, schizandrin, gomisin A, gomisin H were obtained from this species for the first time.

Objective To evaluate the efficiency of inhaling penehyelidine hydyoehloride(PHC)in reducing pulmonary arterial pressure and improving lung funetion in patients with acute exaeerbation of ehronie obstruetive pulmonary disease(AECOPD).Methods Sixty patients with AECOPD were randomly divided into the control group(30 patients) and the treatment group(30 patients).The patients in treatment group inhaled PHC,and patients in control group inhaled diprophylline.The pulmonary arterial pressure was measured before and after inhalation.The peak expiratory flow(PEF) and forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1)was measured at different time points before and after inhalation. Arterial blood gas and,symptoms were also observed.Results The pulmonary arterial pressure in treatment group was reduced by 20% and reduced by 5% in the control group.FEV1 and PEF were improved after inhalation,the average increase of FEV1 was 350 ml(P<0.01),and PEF was improved by 37 L/min(P<0.05).Arterial blood gas analysis was improved,and PaO_2 increased by 18 mmHg(P<0.01).The respiratory rate and the symptoms of cough and sputum were also improved.Conclusion PHC improved the lung function of patients with AECOPD by reducing the pulmonary arterial pressure.

Kinesin-2 family proteins, including KIF3A, KIF3B, KIF3C and KIF17, are members of the kinesin superfamily motor proteins , which transport various proteins and vesicles in the cell and play diverse biological functions . Recently, studies on members of kinesin-2 family proteins suggest that they play fundamental roles during ciliary transport , whose defects can lead to abnormal cilia development , the major cause of human ciliopathies .In this review , we will sum-marize the functions of this motor protein family during ciliogenesis and focus mainly on their roles in the development of model organisms .
