1.A research on the structure and biological functions of PPAR? and its relationship with diseases
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2003;0(09):-
PPAR ? is one of the three isoforms of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) which are essential regulators of lipid storage and metabolism. PPAR ? primarily stimulats lipid metabolism and energy uncoupling in adipocytes and myocytes as well as involvs in the onset and development of many diseases. As the target of medicines, PPAR ? agonists may be powerful drugs for epidermal wound and metabolic syndrome X.

International Eye Science 2017;17(6):1153-1154
AIM: To observe the interocular symmetry of primary angle-closure suspects` (PACS) parameters using IOL Master.METHODS: A cross-sectional observational study.Totally 112 eyes from 56 subjects were enrolled to detect the difference of the bilateral axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD) and white to white distance(WTW), and to evaluate the correlation between the interocular differences of △AL, △ACD and △WTW and age, gender.RESULTS: All the parameters were analyzed by paired-samples t test and there were no significant interocular difference (P>0.05).There was no relation of ΔAL,ΔACD and ΔWTW with age and gender.CONCLUSION: Interocular symmetry of parameters by IOL Master was observed in PACS, and we found that the symmetry would not be altered when the age and gender had changed.
3.The Effect of Different Frequency and Time of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation to Current Perception Threshold
Tianjin Medical Journal 2014;(6):578-580
Objective To analysis the consequence of current perception threshold (CPT) by different frequency and time of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). Methods CPT of foramen area and arm area was measured to evaluate the effect of TENS. Different frequency and time of TENS was given to 30 healthy volunteers. Stimulating to Hegu, CPT of the foramen area and the arm area on the same side was measured. Results CPT of the foramen area increased with stimulation. Low frequency of TENS inhibited the chronic pain significantly(P<0.05),high frequency of TENS inhibited both of the chronic pain and the acute pain(P<0.05). The inhibition of pain is more influenced by the frequency of TENS than the time of it. Conclusion Channel and point of TENS can influence CPT of the specific reaction area. And the choice of appropriate frequency of the treatment is more important than extending the treatment time alone.

Calcineurin inhibitors,such as cyclosporin A and tacroli mus,are widely-used i mmuno-suppressive drugs clinically.However,renal toxicity,hyperglycae mia and other side-effects can occur over long-term use.Isolation of novel calcineurin inhibitors fro m medicinal plants in recent years has pro-vided a new approach to the development of new immunosuppressive drugs with high efficiency and low toxicity.Recnt studies have shown that medicinal plant extracts, such as isogarcinol, quercetin, kae mpferol,phenylethanoid glycosides,ere mophilane sesquiterpenes A and B,pisiferdiol,as well as extracts fro m Smilax china L and Jasminum humile L,have obvious inhibitory effect on calcineurin.

Objective To investigate the function of mesothelin by analyzing the location,the expressions and the adhesive ability of mesothelin and CA125 in human epithelial ovarian cancer.Methods Mesothelin and CA125 protein expressions and locations in human epithelial ovarian cancer tissues and cell lines were determined by indirect immunofluorescence double maker and Western blot.Cell adhesive ability was detected by EDTA-induced cell detachment.Results Mesothelin and CA125 were specifically located in cytomembrane of human epithelial ovarian cancer cells.Expressions of mesothelin in the SKOV-3 and 3AO cells were weaker than those in the OVCAR-3.SKOV-3 and 3AO cells adhered less effectively to plastic substance and matrigel than OVCAR-3(P

Objective To study the DNA damage and repair of normal lung interstitial cells and human lung adenocarcinoma cells exposed to cigarette smoke. Methods Cultured human embryo lung fibroblasts (HLF) and human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells. Mainstream smoke was collected by using dimerhyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and phosphate buffer solution (PBS) as absorbents. MTT assay was used to test the cytotoxicity of the solutions of cigarette smoke, then selected the concentrations of the solutions with no obvious cytotoxicity to treat cells and detected DNA damage and repair by comet assay. Results As treated with original solutions or 1/2 dilution of DMSO cigarette smoke solutions only, the Viability of cells was below 80%, but it was beyond 80% when treated with PBS solutions. The results showed that a significant difference of DNA damage was seen between the treated groups and negative control groups (P0.05),but the DNA damage caused by DMSO solutions was worse than PBS solutions significantly (P

Aim To detect the effect of morphine dependence and withdrawal on the levels of neurosteroids and amino acid neurotransmitters in nucleus accumbens in rat morphine dependent model. Methods Nucleus accumbens was dissected out from morphine dependent and naloxone precipitated withdrawal rats. The contents of neurosteroids including dehydroepiandrosterone, pregnenolone, allopregnanolone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and pregnenolone sulfate were detected with liquid chromatography-negative atmospheric pressure with ionization mass spectrometry(LC-MS). The contents of glycine, glutamate and ?-aminobutyric acid were quantitated by HPLC-ECD with precolumn derivatization. Results Compared with saline group,in nucleus accumbens of morphine withdrawal rats, the level of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (P

Objective To investigate the effect of transitional care of physical and mental health of the thoracic spinal cord injury and paraplegic patients discharged on its recovery. Methods Randomized controlled analysis of patients in Spine and Spinal Cord Injury Surgery between June 2014 to October 2015, a total of 65 patients with thoracic spinal cord injury and paraplegic were studied, according to hospital mantissa odd and even numbers divided into observation group (35 cases) and control group (30 cases). The observation group was instituted to extending posthospital care, not the control group. The self-care ability and psychological state were evaluated by Function Independent Measure (FIM), Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD)within discharge and in 3 months. And the incidence of complications between the two groups were compared. Results At discharge, the difference of FIM, HAMA, HAMD score between the observation group and the control group was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Discharged after 3 months, the score of FIM, HAMA, HAMD in observation group was(72.35 ± 4.35),(4.80 ± 4.50),(12.13 ± 7.25)points, (63.95 ± 5.02),(10.15 ± 4.91), (19.48 ± 8.31)points in control group. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=-4.798, 3.524, 3.110, P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the incidence of pulmonary infection and blood clots between two groups (P > 0.05); The incidence of urinary tract infection, pressure ulcers, constipation were 8.57% (3/35), 5.71% (2/35), 17.14% (6/35) in observation group, 40.00% (12/30), 33.33%(10/30), 63.33%(19/30) in control group, there were significant differences between, two groups (χ2= 4.324, 4.219, 5.337, P < 0.05). Conclusions Transitional care can significantly improve the psychological state of patients with thoracic spinal cord injury and paraplegia discharged, reduce the incidence of complications and improve quality of life.
