The paper discusses whether to maintain nonhealthy foetus,the bearing control of patients with hereditary diseases,the aim to apply the technique to distinguish foetus' sex and personal morals and social ethical problems for health staff to do that,points out that the technique can be applied only to check hereditary diseases as to be benefit to bearing good child and arising people's quality ,and the techique should be controlled properly as not to serve for feudal ethic.
4.Expression of retinoid receptors in ovarian cancer
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2003;0(06):-
Ovarian cancer is highly lethal despite multiple therapies, and new therapies are therefore needed.Retinoids are potential anticancer drugs that can promote apoptosis,inhibit growth and induce differentiation in cancer cells,and all these functions are regulated by the expression of retinoid receptors.Herein the recent researches on the expression of retinoid receptors in ovarian cancer are reviewed.
5.Advances in the study of enzymes and transporters-mediated pharmacokinetic mechanism for herb-drug interaction.
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica 2015;50(4):406-12
With the wide application of Chinese herbal medicine, herb-drug interaction (HDI) has become increasingly prominent. Metabolic enzymes and transporters are the main targets of HDI, because the changes in expression and function of enzymes and transporters can influence the disposition of drugs. Metabolic enzymes are responsible for the metabolic clearance of drugs, including cytochrome P450 (CYP), UDP-glucuronyl transferase (UGT) and sulfotransferases (SULT); transporters widely expressed in the intestine, kidney, liver and brain are involved in the oral absorption, distribution and excretion of drugs. Pueraria, ginkgo, ginseng, St. John's wort and other Chinese herbal medicine often induce a HDI because those herbal medicines combined with chemical medicine are widely used in clinic. The components of herb medicines mentioned above are prone to interact with enzymes and transporters, which often induce a HDI. This paper reviews the advances in the study of enzymes and transporters-mediated pharmacokinetic mechanism of HDI.
6.Tumor segmentation of brain MRI with adaptive bandwidth mean shift.
Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2014;31(5):1001-1010
In order to get the adaptive bandwidth of mean shift to make the tumor segmentation of brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to be more accurate, we in this paper present an advanced mean shift method. Firstly, we made use of the space characteristics of brain image to eliminate the impact on segmentation of skull; and then, based on the characteristics of spatial agglomeration of different tissues of brain (includes tumor), we applied edge points to get the optimal initial mean value and the respectively adaptive bandwidth, in order to improve the accuracy of tumor segmentation. The results of experiment showed that, contrast to the fixed bandwidth mean shift method, the method in this paper could segment the tumor more accurately.

7.Research on strategy of intellectual property protection of traditional Chinese medicine from the perspective of enterprise
International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2014;(7):577-580
Traditional Chinese medicine is the few field of owing independent intellectual property in China, the implement of intellectual property strategy is important for the long-term development of traditional Chinese medicine enterprises. At present, traditional Chinese medicine enterprises still remain many problems in intellectual property protection, such as weak awareness of intellectual property protection, lack of intellectual property protection professional personnel, inadequate investment in R & D and low innovation level. These problems caused huge losses in practice to traditional Chinese medicine enterprises. After analyzing the status of intellectual property protection of traditional Chinese medicine enterprises, we put up with some concrete measures of intellectual property protection of traditional Chinese medicine considering the reality of these enterprises.
8.In vitro liquid preservation of allogeneic cartilage graft
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2013;(44):7785-7790
BACKGROUND:Because of deficiency of nerves and blood vessels of articular cartilage, its nutrition is mainly derived from the synovial fluid or synovial vascular osmosis. Limited in their ability to repair itself, so how to repair articular cartilage damage better become medical problems to be solved. OBJECTIVE:To review to the literatures on the repair of cartilage damage method and al ogeneic cartilage in vitro preservation method in recent years, and to find the optimal preservation conditions and the culture medium composition that suitable for in vitro preservation of al ogeneic cartilage tissues, thus enhancing the effect of al ogenic cartilage in vitro preservation. METHODS:A computer-based online search was performed in the PubMed database and the CNKI database to search papers on the in vitro liquid preservation of al ogeneic cartilage graft published from January 1990 to February 2013. The key words were“osteochondral al ograft, tissue culture, chondrocyte survival rate, in vitro”in English and“articular cartilage;al ogeneic transplantation;liquid preservation”in Chinese. The articles published earlier and repetitive researches were excluded. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At present, there are two methods for the preservation of al ogenic osteochondral grafts. After cryopreservation, the survival rate of chondrocytes is decreased significantly which can affect the transplantation effect, therefore there is less clinical application. Liquid preservation method can enhance the survival rate of cells, maintain the organization activity, but the preservation time is short that cannot be widely used. Scholars have further improved the environment of liquid preservation and composition of liquid culture medium, extended the in vitro preservation time of cartilage tissue, and improved the effectiveness of cartilage tissue preservation.
