1.Strategies of strengthening the cultivation of medical graduate students' ability of clinical scien-tific research
Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2015;(2):131-133
Graduate education is the maln approach to cultivate advanced medical talents. However, the current clinical research ability tralning for postgraduate students is poor. This article discusses about four possible reasons: the misunderstanding of the medical research, system defects of the endowment of scientific research fund, drawbacks of evaluation criteria, and deficiency of grad-uate student curriculum. In order to improve the clinical research ability of medical graduates, this article also discusses the possible solutions: clarifying the understanding, strengthening policy support, im-proving the evaluation methods, and perfecting the tralning course of the clinical medical research.
2.Phosphoglycerate mutase 5 and necroptosis
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 2016;32(2):377-380
Necroptosis, or programmed cell death, is a type of cell death with a controllable death signaling pathway and the morphological features similar to necrosis.It is mainly mediated by death receptors or pathogen pattern re-cognition receptors.Among them, tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1)-mediated necroptosis is the most well-studied one.Receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) and receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) are the 2 key kina-ses involved in the formation of complex I & II and necrosome in the process of necroptosis.Phosphoglycerate mutase 5 ( PGAM5) , a member of phosphoglycerate mutase gene family, lacks PGAM activity and possesses the phosphatase activi-ty.PGAM5 is anchored in the mitochondrial membrane and is also called mitochondrial phosphoglycerate mutase 5.It has been shown that PGAM5 involves in the formation of necrosome during necroptosis and it is able to accelerate the fission of mitochondria by dephosphorylation of dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1), thus promoting cell necroptosis.

Objective To investigate the effects of different selective attention on the amplitudes of distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) .Methods DPOAE measurements were performed in 30 young adults (60 ears) in no task (baseline) ,visual selective attention and auditory selective attention ,respectively .The suppression of DPOAE amplitudes were observed in different selective attentions .The visual selective attention was to counter the number of letter Q presented on computer screen .The auditory selective attention was to counter the number of 2 .0 kHz toneburst in the insert earphone .Results Visual and auditory selective attention both decreased the DPOAE amplitudes in mid - low frequencies (0 .75 ~ 2 .0 kHz) .The suppression effects of visual selective attention were significant stronger than that of auditory attention in 0 .75 ~ 1 .0 kHz .The suppression amplitudes were 8 .54 ± 4 .76 and 5 .27 ± 2 .32 dB at 0 .75 kHz ,respectively .They were 7 .66 ± 5 .22 and 3 .22 ± 2 .15 dB at 1 .0 kHz ,re‐spectively .There were significant differences between the two selective attentions suppression (P< 0 .05) .Conclu‐sion Visual and auditory selective attention can both decrease the DPOAE amplitudes .The suppression effects of visual selective attention were significant stronger than that of auditory attention .
4.Regulatory necrosis:a novel way to recognize and prevent injury-relevant diseases
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2017;33(2):153-157
Necrosis is also tightly controlled by signaling path-ways,thus it is called as regulated necrosis,which includes ne-croptosis,ferroptosis,parthanatos and CypD-mediated necrosis. It has been shown that regulated necrosis is closely related to the occurrence,development and prognosis of injury-relevant disea-ses such as myocardial infarction,stroke,neurodegenerative dis-eases.It will be significant for prevention and therapy of injury-relevant diseases to clarify the signal transductions and regulatory mechanisms for the regulated necrosis.
5.Steroid Receptor Coactivator Family and Breast Cancer
Chinese Journal of Bases and Clinics in General Surgery 2003;0(03):-
Objective To investigate the effect of steroid receptor coactivator family in initiation, development, treatment and prognosis of breast cancer. Methods The literatures in recent years which have related to the effect of steroid receptor coactivators in breast cancer are reviewed. Results Steroid receptor coactivators are essential for several kinds of steroid hormones binding to steroid receptors, so they are important accessory factors that induce the initiation, development and recurrence of breast cancer, and predictive factors that estimate the prognosis of breast cancer. Conclusion Inhibition of the expression and signaling pathway of steroid receptor coactivators may be effective for breast cancer prevention and treatment.
7.Progress of studies on molecular immunology of human platelets.
Journal of Experimental Hematology 2004;12(5):553-557
In autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura (AITP) specific autoantibodies bind platelet GP via their Fab fragments. Both splenic CD5+ B and CD5- B cells produce platelet glycoprotein-specific antibodies. There is limited number of antigenic determinants, and the GP-specific autoantibodies are derived from a restricted number of B-cell clones in chronic AITP. Blocking co-stimulatory signals could induce platelet-specific T cell anergy. MMF could be used as a second line agent for the treatment of steroid-resistant AITP. Detection of plasma thrombopoietin levels play an important role in the differentiation of thrombocytopenic states caused by platelet destruction or due to bone marrow hypoplasia. Endogenous TPO level is also important on the differential diagnosis of ET and RT. Quinine- or heparin-dependent antibodies could induce thrombocytopenia. PCR-SSP is useful for the genotyping of the platelet-specific alloantigen HPA. Biotinylated platelets have an impaired response to agonists as evidenced by in vitro platelet aggregation tests.

8.Progress of mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase in cardioprotection
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2009;25(12):1548-1551
Mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase(ALDH2),one of the isoforms of aldehyde dehydrogenase,has multiple enzymatic functions including the activity of dehydrogenase and esterase.The metabolisms of ethanol,amino acids,biogenic amine,vitamin or steroid in the body produce various substances of aldehyde.With the help of co-factor NAD(P)+,ALDH2 can convert aldehydes into corresponding carboxylic acid,which plays a key role in reducing toxic effects of aldehydes on the body.It does not need co-factor when ALDH2 works as esterase.It can convert carboxylic ester or other acids into corresponding carboxylic acids or alcohols.Recently,it has been shown that the decrease of ALDH2 activity exacerbates multiple factors(such as ethanol,ischemia)-induced myocardial injury and accelerates the development of nitroglycerin tolerance.Therefore,the development of specific agonists of ALDH2 may provide a novel approach to the therapy and prevention of heart diseases.
