Tianjin Medical Journal 2016;44(3):349-352
Objective To investigate the expression levels and clinical significance of programmed cell death 1 ligand (PD-L1) and programmed cell death factor-1 (PD-1) in peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). Methods Immunohistochem?istry was used to detect expression levels of PD-L1 and PD-1 in PTCL (test group, n=51) and benign proliferative lesions of lymph node tissues (control group, n=20). The correlations of PD-L1 and PD-1 expressions with clinical pathological param?eters and prognosis were analyzed between two groups. Results The expression level of PD-L1 was significantly higher in PTCL group than that in control group (74.51%vs 35.00%,χ2=9.662, P<0.05). The positive expression of PD-1 was signifi?cantly higher in PTCL group than that in control group (66.67%vs 25.00%,χ2=10.074, P<0.05). There were significant dif?ferences in PD-L1 and PD-1 expressions between different peripheral lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels of PTCL group (P<0.05). After two cycles of CHOP or ECHOP treatments, the response rate (RR) was higher in PD-L1 negative group than that in positive group (84.6%vs 47.4%,χ2=5.478, P<0.05), and RR was higher in PD-1 negative group than that in positive group(82.4%vs 44.1%,χ2=6.755, P<0.05). The median overall survival (OS) time was higher in PD-L1 negative group than that in positive group (29.8 months vs 17.6 months,χ2=4.413, P<0.05) and the median OS time was higher in PD-1 negative group than that in positive group (29.8 months vs 17.6 months,χ2=8.293, P<0.05). Conclusion There are high expression levels of PD-L1 and PD-1 in peripheral T-cell lymphoma, which is closely related with the elevated LDH in peripheral blood, poor response rate and shorter OS. Therefore, the expression levels of PD-L1 and PD-1 can be used as factors of worse effect of chemotherapy and poor prognosis.
3.Analysis of studies on pattern recognition of tongue image in traditional Chinese medicine by computer technology
Journal of Integrative Medicine 2004;2(5):326-9
The article analyzed the contemporary study of pattern recognition of tongue images in traditional Chinese medicine by computer technology from its key sectors. It regards that the methods of orthogonal design and evaluation of image quality should be introduced to get a high-quality and practicable condition. In the field of tongue image segmentation, multiple methods used together are expected to improve the effect of segmentation. A scientific and canonical standard of tongue diagnosis based on comprehensive experts' experience with Delphi evaluation method and multi-center experts diagnosis on internet are also very essential. The study of pattern recognition on tongue image is still concentrated on the color. Further study should be extended to achieve quantification. And a comprehensive diagnosis on pattern recognition of tongue image is the aim that should be focused on later.

Objective To explore the protective effect of salidroside on early reperfusion in patients with acute cerebral infarction treated with urokinase intravenous thrombolysis.Methods 98 patients with acute cerebral infarction who were consistent with intravenous thrombolysis after screening were enrolled in the study.They were equally divided into the control group and the treatment group by sealed envelop method in one to one ratio.The control group received urokinase intravenous thrombolytic therapy on the basis of dehydration,anticoagulation,brain rehabilitation,regulating blood pressure,blood glucose and other conventional treatment.Based on the treatment in the control group,the treatment group was treated with Hongjingtian injection for 10 days.The serum malondialdehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD),plasma endothelin-1(ET-1) and high sensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP),neurological deficit score(NIHSS),Barthel index and clinical effect in the two groups were observed.Results There were no significant differences in levels of MDA,SOD,ET-1,hs-CRP,NIHSS and Barthel index between the two groups before treatment (t=0.30,0.26,0.41,004,0.57,0.33,all P>0.05).After treatment,there were statistically significant differences between the control group and the treatment group in levels of MDA,SOD,ET-1,hs-CRP,NIHSS score and Barthel index[(7.54±1.14)nmol/mL vs.(6.04±1.21)nmol/mL,(92.42±15.28)U/mL vs.(108.54±19.24)U/mL,(64.5±7.4)pg/mL vs.(41.4±8.1)pg/mL,(3.84±1.04)μmol/L vs.(2.54±0.84)μmol/L,(16.5±5.4)points vs.(11.2±3.1)points,(62.1±12.4) vs.(71.4±10.4)](t=6.31,4.59,14.74,6.81,5.96,4.02,all P<0.01).The total effective rate of the treatment group was 91.84%,which of the control group was 63.39%,the difference was statistically significant(χ2=8.83,P<0.05).Conclusion Salidroside can relieve lipid peroxidation in patients with acute cerebral infarction,promote decomposition of oxyradical,reduce inflammatory reactions,improve neurological function and quality of life.The curative effect is significant.It has protective effect on early reperfusion in patients with acute cerebral infarction treated with urokinase intravenous thrombolysis.

With the further development of clinical modernization of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), new request to tongue diagnosis for objectivity and quantification is raised. Many researchers have devoted themselves to this field and have achieved some accomplishments since 1950's. Especially in recent years, the revolution of information technique derived from computer industry brings the research new chances. The research history of the past five decades can be divided into three stages: (1) looking for micro-markers by newly-developed medical technique; (2) quantifying traditional markers by new technique; (3) further development based on information technique and corporation of multiple subjects. This article reviewed the three stages and described its prospect.
10.Effectiveness of manipulative reduction combined with minimally invasive surgery in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture: a meta-analysis.
China Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology 2015;28(11):1042-1047
OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical efficacy of manipulative reduction combined with percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) or percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) using meta-analysis method, in order to provide a reference for clinical treatment.
METHODSA systematic computer-based search (from January 1987 to April 2014) from CNKI, Wanfang database, Web of Science and PubMed were performed for the collection of controlled clinical researches on manipulative reduction combined with PVP or PKP in treating OVCF. The quality of selected researches was evaluated. Meta-analysis was adopted to evaluate visual analog scale, Cobb angle, anterior height ratio of the injured vertebra.
RESULTSA total of 7 researches of 410 patients were included in the present analysis, there were 5 RCTs and 2 non-RCTs and all come from China. Manipulative reduction combined with PVP could got better improvement in Cobb angle (WMD=-7.35; 95%CI: -12.15, -2.54) and anterior height ratio of the injured vertebra (P<0.01) than simple PVP, but no significant difference was found in improvement of visual analog scale (WMD=-0.01; 95%CI: -0.45, 0.42). There were no significant differences in the improvement of visual analog scale, Cobb angle, anterior height ratio of the injured vertebra between manipulative reduction combined with PKP and simple PKP (P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONCompared with simple PVP, manipulative reduction combined with PVP may result in more clinical efficacy on the improvement of Cobb angle and anterior ratio of the injured vertebra. And compared with simple PKP, manipulative reduction combined with PKP has no obvious advantages on the improvement of visual analog scale, Cobb angle, anterior height ratio of the injured vertebra. However, the number and quality of the literatures, may resulted in the effect of mistrust, so more large sample and high-quality RCTs are needed in future.
