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.Chemoprevention and therapy of tea polyphenol of colorectal cancer in colorectal cancer rats and cells:a systematic review
Journal of International Oncology 2015;(6):430-435
Objective To evaluate the chemoprevention and therapy of tea polyphenol of colorectal cancer in colon cancer rats and cells.Methods Such database as CBM,CNKI,VIP,Wanfang,PubMed, Medline,EMBase,Cochrane Library were searched for collecting the papers including using tea polyphenol as a therapy and chemoprevention of colorectal cancer in colorectal cancer rats and colorectal cells,from their estab-lishment to June 1 ,201 4,and the references of those related papers were also searched by hand.After studying selection,assessment and data extraction were conducted by two reviewers.RevMan5.2 software was used for Meta-analyze.Results Seventeen studies were included.Three hundred and five rats and 5 colorectal cell lines were used to the research,they were divided into the study group (received the tea treatment)and the control group (not received the tea treatment).The results of meta-analyses showed that:① Aberrant crypt foci (ACF):standardized mean difference SMD =-3.69 (95%CI 为 -5.85 ~-1 .54,Z =3.40,P =0.000 8),which indicated that tea polyphenol could reduce the number of ACF.② The average number of tumors per rat:SMD =-0.83 (95%CI:-1 .1 4 ~-0.51 ,Z =5.1 8,P =0.000 01 ),which indicated that tea polyphenol could reduce the average number of tumors per rat.③ Cell cycle G1 phase:SMD =1 .85(95%CI:0.03 ~3.66,Z =1 .99,P =0.05 ),which indicated that tea polyphenol could increase the cell in G1 phase.④ Cell cycle S phase:SMD =-2.64(95%CI:-4.38 ~-0.90,Z =2.98,P =0.003),which in-dicated that tea polyphenol could decrease colon cancer cell in S phase.Conclusion Tea polyphenol has a positive effect on colon cancer cell and colon cancer rats.
8.Advances on tick-borne encephalitis in children
International Journal of Pediatrics 2015;(4):434-438
Tick-borne encephalitis ( TBE) is a well-known central nervous system ( CNS) infection in children. The disease in children is generally milder,although severe illness may occur and even lead to perma-nent impairment of the quality of life due to neuropsychological sequelae. We review the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of tick-borne encephalitis,and summarise biological and virological aspects that are impor-tant for understanding the life-cycle and transmission of the virus. Tick-borne encephalitis virus is a flavivirus that is transmitted by ixodes persulcatus. Tick-borne encephalitis causes acute meningoencephalitis. The serologi-cal diagnosis is usually straightforward. No specific treatment for the disease exists,and immunisation is the main preventive measure.
