Pure compound was obtained, and the content of crystal was about 98%.AIM The content of 2-(3-benzoylphenyl)propionitrile was improved. METHODS Phase-transfer catalytic methylation and suitable method of aftertreatment were used. RESULTS The yield and content was both improved. CONCLUSION Phase-transfer catalytic methylation was the best method, and suitable method of aftertreatment was essential.
2.Therapeutic Observation of Moxibustion plus Cupping for Trigeminal Neuralgia Due to Wind-cold
Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture and Moxibustion 2016;35(7):812-814
To observe the clinical efficacy of moxibustion plus cupping in treating trigeminal neuralgia due to wind-cold.Method Seventy patients with trigeminal neuralgia due to wind-cold were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 35 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by moxibustion plus cupping, while the control group was by ordinary acupuncture. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and other pain indexes were observed before treatment and after 2 treatment courses, and the clinical efficacies were compared.Result The total effective rate was 85.7% in the treatment group versus 57.1% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The VAS scores were significantly changed after treatment in both groups (P<0.01). After treatment, the VAS score of the treatment group was significantly different from that of the control group (P<0.01). After intervention, the scores of pain range, pain intensity, pain duration, attack frequency, quality of life, affection, and global pain score in the treatment group were significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Moxibustion plus cupping is an effective approach in treating trigeminal neuralgia due to wind-cold.

4.Correlation between adiponectin and breast cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2012;39(10):759-762
Adiponectin is a kind of adipocyte-specific protein which is only inversely related with obesity by now. It is involved in enhancing insulin sensitivity,anti-atherogenic and antiinflammatory activities.Recent studies have reported that adiponectin is closely correlated with the genesis and development of a variety of obesity related malignant tumors,especially postmenopausal breast cancer.Obesity is an independent risk factor for the development of breast cancer.Recently researches about the correlation between adiponectin and breast cancer relations and the action mechanisms,signaling pathways have made a progress.
5.The receptor for advanced glycation end products and lung development and lung injury
International Journal of Pediatrics 2013;40(5):454-457
The receptor for advanced glycation end product (RAGE) is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell surface molecules.As a pattern recognition receptor,it can bind with a variety of ligands.The adult lung is unique in which it expresses high amounts of RAGE under normal conditions while other tissues express low amounts normally and up-regulate RAGE during pathologic processes.The lung exhibits high basal level expression of RAGE localised mainly in alveolar type I cells,suggesting a potentially important role for the receptor in epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation and maintaining lung homeostasis.Indeed,disruption of RAGE levels has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a variety of pulmonary disorders such as acute and chronic lung injury.Furthermore,its soluble form sRAGE,as a decoy receptor,has been shown as an important marker of alveolar epithelial type I cell injury.Studies have suggested that RAGE plays an important role in the biology of the lung and may become a therapeutic target for lung injury.
6.Effect of Alcohol on Apoptosis and Expression of Bcl-2 and Bax Genes of Myocardial Cells of Mice
Journal of Environment and Health 1989;0(06):-
Objective To study the effect of alcohol on apoptosis and apoptosis-associated genes-Bcl-2 and Bax of cardiac muscle cell.Methods We established an animal experimental model by giving different concentration of alcohol to the healthy mice.Myocardial apoptosis and the expression of apoptosis-associated gene Bcl-2 and Bax were quantitatively analysed by the nuclear fast red-crystal violet staining and immunohistochemical method.Results Some nuclears of the experimental groups were stained purple and agglutinated.Counting under the high power microscope,it was found that the amount of abnormal nuclears significantly increased in alcohol-treated groups compared with the control group (P
7.Quality of life and its influencing factors in elderly patients with advanced cancer
Chinese Journal of General Practitioners 2017;16(2):118-121
Objective To assess the quality of life and its influencing factors in ellerly patients with advanced cancer.Methods The quality of life was evaluated with EORTC QLQ-C30 scale Chinese version in 103 elderly patients with advanced cancer in a hospital outpatient clinic of Beijing from July 2013 to July 2014.The overall health,physical function,role function,cognitive function,emotional function,social function and individual symptoms score were assessed.The general information and clinical data of patients were analyzed.Results The general score of quality of life in elderly advanced cancer patients was (35.77 ± 21.98).In the domain of function the role functional score was the lowest (36.60 ± 27.97);in the domain of symptoms the tired score was the highest(50.82 ± 30.16),the score of appetite loss was the highest in individual symptoms (39.78 ± 24.32).Educational level,marital status,living condition,medical insurance and the number of comorbidities were correlated with overall health in elderly patients with advanced cancer (P < 0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the educational level (t =2.447,P < 0.05),marital status (t =2.118,P < 0.05),medical insurance (t =3.770,P < 0.05) and overall health status were positively correlated with the quality of life scores;and number of eomorbidities (t =-7.157,P < 0.05) was negatively associated with the overall quality of life.Conclusion The quality of life was generally poor in elderly patients with advanced cancer;and educational level,marital status,medical insurance,comorbidities are important influencing factors.

Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 1987;0(01):-
AIM To explore whether or not the function of insulin like growth factor (IGF I) in promoting osteopontin gene expression and protein synthesis of rat vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC). METHODS Cultured cells were incubated with different concentration of IGF I for different hours, then RT PCR and Western blotting analysis were used to observed the effects of IGF I on osteopontin expression of rat vascular smooth muscle cells RESULTS IGF I (20 ?g?L -1 ) could obviously induce the gene expression and protein synthesis of osteopontin, RT PCR results showed that the ratio of mRNA of osteopontin and ? actin in cells incubated with IGF I (20 ?g?L -1 ) for 3, 24 and 48 h increased by 39 70%,40 44% and 54 05% respectively, as compared with that of the control ( P
