3.Role of system A amino acid transporter in fetal intrauterine growth restriction
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2017;24(18):2859-2861
Fetal intrauterine growth restriction is one of the common diseases in the perinatal period,which not only increases the child morbidity and mortality in the perinatal period,affecting the long-term development of the nervous system,and can make the risk of adult obesity,hypertension,type Ⅱ diabetes increased significantly.A number of studies suggest that the down-regulation of A amino acid transporter expression is closely associated with intrauterine growth restriction.The down-regulation of A amino acid transporter expression may be an important cause of intrauterine growth restriction.

6.Relevance of cancer toxin pathogenesis theory with transformation of inflammation to carcinoma.
Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine 2015;35(2):243-246
The "Cancer Toxin" pathogenesis theory is an innovate theoretical system for cancer pathogenesis of Chinese Medicine, which was built on the basis of "Cancer Toxin" concept initially raised by Professor ZHOU Zhong-ying. The mechanism of the transformation from inflammation to carcinoma has become one of hot-points in the field of cancer research at home and abroad in recent years. We focused on discussing the relevance of the "Cancer Toxin" pathogenesis theory with the transformation mechanism from inflammation to cancer, provided evidence for using "Cancer Toxin" pathogenesis theory in intervening transformation from inflammation to cancer, hoping to guide for Chinese medical prevention and treatment of tumor.

Although the treatment of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) has made considerable progress in recent years,its mortality and disability have not been effectively controlled.Ischemic brain injury after SAH is considered to be an important reason for the poor prognosis of patients; however,its mechanism is still not fully understood.Studies have shown that the cerebral microcirculation disturbance after SAH is closely associated with ischemic brain injury.This article reviews the advances in research on cerebral microcirculation disturbance and ischemic brain injury after SAH.
8.Comparison of DWI and CT perfusion in diagnosis of liver fibrosis
Chinese Journal of Medical Imaging Technology 2010;26(2):297-300
Objective To explore the diagnostic value of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and CT perfusion imaging (CTPI) in diagnosis of liver fibrosis. Methods Fifty-seven hepatic fibrosis patients and 23 normal controls received DWI (b=500 s/mm2), ADC value of different fibrosis stages was measured, while 35 patients and all 23 normal controls received CTPI. The parameters of CTPI including blood flow (BF), blood volume (BV), mean transit time (MTT), hepatic arterial fraction (HAF) and permeability surface (PS) were measured. Analysis of variances was performed to compare the difference among the groups in both examinations. ROC curve was used to analyze the sensitivity and specificity of DWI and CTPI. Results The difference of ADC value between control group and S1 group was not significant, but between control group and S2, S3, S4 group and among group S2, group S3, group S4 was significant. In the parameters of CTPI, only the difference of HAF between control group and S3-S4 group was significant. Sensitivity and specificity of DWI and CTPI was 78.90%, 82.60% and 66.67%, 73.91%, respectively. Conclusion DWI is superior to CTPI for early diagnosis and degrading of liver fibrosis.
