1.COX-2 and its inhibitors in lung cancer drug resistance
Journal of International Oncology 2015;(3):203-205
COX-2 is the inducible form of cyclooxygenase,which is overexpressed in non-small cell lung cancer,especially in the adenocarcinoma,and is involved in the production of lung cancer drug resistance, reducing the sensitivities of tumor cells to chemotherapy drugs. COX-2 inhibitors have the effects of antitumor and prevention of tumor formation. Therefore,in order to reverse the drug resistance of tumor cells,improve the sur-vival rate and the prognosis of patients with tumor,the application of COX-2 inhibitors as adjuvant chemotherapy and combined with chemotherapy drugs has become a new direction in the treatment of lung cancer.

4. Polyethylenimine-mediated BMP-7 gene transfection promotes fracture healing in elderly rats
Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2010;29(5):514-518
Objective: To observe polyethylenimine-mediated BMP-7 gene transfection in promoting fracture healing in elderly rats. Methods: Male SD rats (20-month-old) were randomly divided into 3 groups: group A received BMP-7 gene therapy mediated by polyehtylenimine, group B was treated with normal saline and group C was treated with BMP-7 plasmid without polyethylenimine. Right femoral shaft fracture model was established in all rats. Animals in group A received transdermal injection of pcDNA3. 1-BMP-7/PET; those in group B and C received the same volume of normal saline and pcDNA3. 1-BMP-7, respectively. X-ray photography, histological observation (H-E staining), immunohistochemical staining of collagen type I, biomechanical and bone mineral density test were employed to assess the healing of fracture 2, 4, and 8 weeks after treatment. Results: The results of X ray and H-E staining showed no fracture healing in the 3 groups during the 8th week after fracture; however, the growth of coloboma in group A was better than that of the other 2 groups, with partial bone union between the fracture ends. Staining of collagen type I showed deeper, wider staining in group A compared with the other 2 group. Anti-bending intensity and bone mineral density tests showed that the parameters in group A were better than those of the other 2 groups (P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusion: Polyethylenimine-mediated hBMP-7 gene transfer can effectively promote fracture healing in elderly rats.
5.Novel therapeutic targets for post-traumatic stress disorder:endocannabinoid system
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 2017;33(2):375-379
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a kind of mental disorder that usually occurs after life-threatening and strong mental traumas .Clinical studies showed that the PTSD patients are 3 times more likely to have can-nabis as compared with the healthy people .The use of cannabinoids has a close relationship with the occurrence and clini-cal manifestations of PTSD .Experimental studies revealed that endocannabinoid ( eCB) signal alterations in animal models of PTSD influenced fear memory of the animals , suggesting a close correlation between the eCB system and the pathogenesis of PTSD.Given that the eCB system was reported to regulate affective states and participate in memory consolidation , re-trieval and extinction , targeting the eCB system may improve the emotional and cognitive features of PTSD , thereby holding out great promise for the development of novel approaches for clinical treatment of PTSD .
6.Clinical value of serum soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis and auto-immune hepatitis
Journal of Clinical Hepatology 2014;31(5):417-420
Objective To investigate the clinical value of serum soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1 )in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC)and autoimmune hepatitis (AIH).Methods Sixty-one PBC patients and 59 AIH patients,who were hos-pitalized or visited the outpatient department from June 2012 to September 2013,as well as 50 healthy controls,were included in the study. The PBC patients included 29 incipient cases,21 cases in remission,and 11 recurrent cases;the AIH patients included 26 incipient cases, 20 cases in remission,and 13 recurrent cases.Serum sICAM-1 level was measured by double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immu-nosorbent assay,and serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT)and total bilirubin (TBil)were determined by biochemical enzyme as-say.Comparison between groups was made by analysis of variance;Pearson correlation analysis was performed.Results Among PBC pa-tients,the incipient group and recurrent group had significantly higher serum sICAM-1 levels than the remission group and control group (P=0.000 for all);there was no significant difference in serum sICAM-1 level between the incipient group and recurrent group (P=0.484);the remission group had a significantly higher serum sICAM-1 level than the control group (P=0.000).Among AIH patients, the incipient group and recurrent group had significantly higher serum sICAM-1 levels than the remission group and control group (P=0.000 for all);there was no significant difference in serum sICAM-1 level between the incipient group and recurrent group (P=0.802);no significant difference in serum sICAM-1 level was seen between the remission group and control group (P=0.281).For patients with PBC and AIH,serum sICAM-1 level was positively correlated with serum levels of ALT (r=0.664,P=0.000;r=0.784,P=0.000) and TBil (r=0.715,P=0.000;r=0.580,P=0.000).Conclusion Serum sICAM-1 may be involved in the immunologic injury in PBC and AIH.In patients with PBC and AIH,the elevation of serum sICAM-1 level is closely correlated with the severity of liver damage. Clinical monitoring of serum sICAM-1 level may play an important role in severity assessment,prognostic evaluation,and therapy guidance among patients with autoimmune liver diseases.

Anatomical hepatic segmentectomy is the treatment of choice for hepatolithiasis. However, in consideration of the volume of residual liver and the liver function, anatomical polysegmentectomy of the bilateral lobes for hepatolithiasis is restricted. Protection of the portal pedicles to the segments preserved and avoidance of ischemia/reperfusion injury to the residual liver parenchyma are critical steps during the operation.A female patient with hepatolithiasis and had a surgical history of choledocholithiasis removal and T-tube drainage received ana tomic polysegmentectomy with segments Ⅰ and Ⅳ preservation at the General Hospital of Kunming Medical College. During the operation, Portal pedicles to the segments Ⅰ , Ⅱ, right lobe,and segments Ⅱ and Ⅲ were isolated prior to liver parenchyma transection. Portal pedicles to segments Ⅰ and Ⅳ were protected under direct visualization. Hepatoduodenal ligament occlusion was not applied during liver parenchyma transaction. Segments Ⅱ- Ⅲ and Ⅴ-Ⅷ were anatomically resected, and segments Ⅰ ,Ⅳ were preserved with satisfactory vascularization. The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged 14 days after the operation.

Objective To evaluate the interactive relationship between inflammation detected by single photon emission computed tomography combined with computed tomography (SPECT/CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) detection of synovitis,bone marrow edema (BME) in the early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients.Methods Twenty patients with early RA were included into this study.All patients were diagnosed based on the 2010 ACR/EULAR classification criterion.Patients' unilateral hands (MCP 2-5 and PIP 2-5 joints) were inspected by SPECT/CT (label:99Tcm-MDP) and MRI (3.0 T).SPECT/CT and MRI images were analyzed by two reviewers blinded to other clinical information.Increased bone metabolism of the regional area of interest (ROI) was analyzed and the uptake ratio was calculated.MRI quantitative evaluation was completed by RAMRIS score system.Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 17.0 software.Student's t-test,analysis of variance (ANOVA),x2 test and post-hoc analysis (Scheffe) were used for comparison of datas,correlation analysis was carried out with Spearman rank correlation test.Results Twent ypatients with a total of 160 joints were examined.MRI examination revealed synovitis (39,24.4%),or BME (24,15.0%) in 63(39.4%) joints.99Tcm-MDP uptake increased in 79(49.4%) joints,and the uptake ratio was higher than normal joints (1.59±0.26 vs 1.15±0.09,t=6.408,P<0.01).The uptake ratio between the graded synovitis level and RAMRIS synovitis score had a moderate correlation (r=0.535,P=0.001).The uptake ratio of BME level and BME score was well correlated (r=0.765,P=0.001).Conclusion In early RA patients,MRI is sensitive for synovitis and BME.SPECT/CT can detect early abnormal bone metabolism associated with inflammation,which is more sensitive than MRI.SPECT/CT can be used to detect changes of RA at the molecular level.Compared with synovitis,BME is more closely related to bone metabolism changes,which may suggest that BME may play a major role in the bone destruction in RA.However,further studies are needed to verify this hypothesis.
