2.Serum markers of hepatocellular carcinoma
Cancer Research and Clinic 2010;22(5):358-360
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumor with increasing incidence worldwid.Most of patients with HCC are diagnosed at a late stage.Threrfore,the prognosis of HCC patients is generally poor with a 5-year survival rate of 20% if withoutoperration. Screening strategies including α-fetoprotein (AFP) and ultrasound every 6 months in patients with liver cirrhosis,the major risk factor for HCC development, have been recommended to detect HCC at earlier stages amenable to effective treatment strateges.AFP, however,is a marker with poor sensitivity and specificity and the ultrasound is highly dependent on the operator's experience.Apart from AFP, lens culinaris agglutinin-reactive AFP and des-gamma carbexyprothrombin and several other biomarkers(e.g., glypican-3,human hepatocyte growth factor,and insulin-like growth factor) have been proposed as markers for HCC detection.In addition,with recently employed techniques,such as gene-expressing microarrays and proteomics,it is to be expected that new HCC-specific markers will become available in the near future.For all such proposed markers,however,the clinical usefulness has to be carefully evaluated and validated.
3.An fMRI study for perceptual reversal of Necker cube
Journal of Chongqing Medical University 2008;0(S1):-
Objective:We try to examine the hypothesis that perceptual reversal is function of frontoparietal cortex. Methods:We employed block design in functional MRI, extracted event signal of endogenous reversal of Necker cube and compared with that of exogenous reversal. Results:Functional MRI revealed that spatial varieties were significant in bilateral superior and middle frontal lobe. Conclusion:Perceptual reversal may be the function of frontal cortex.

Cancer Research and Clinic 2008;20(8):507-508,512
The latest advances on target therapies of cancer were presented on the 44th Annual Meeting of American Society of Clinical Oncology(ASCO)in 2008.One of the most important results was the outstanding efficacy of Cetuximab in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer fIncao patients with k-ras"wild-type".Besides,detection of k-ras statuswouldmakeitpossibleforthetailoredtargettherapy of mCRC.Itwasestimatedthat k-ras gene status would become a predictive molecular marker for Cetuximab treatment in mCRC.
5.Official WeChat running in Hangzhou municipal public hospitals
Chinese Journal of Medical Library and Information Science 2015;(8):23-26
The opening rate, information update and menu of official WeChat in 11 Hangzhou municipal public hospitals were analyzed in order to understand their running, which showed that of the 11 public hospitals that opened their official WeChat,36. 36% opened their service account and 63. 64% opened their subscription ac-count. The information update frequency of WeChat varied and the online service function needed to be further deepened. Suggestions were put forward for the WeChat running in hospitals, such as normalizing its information push, deepening its online service, diversifying its communication between physicians and patients, and intensifying its popularization.
6.Prognosis of 92 fetuses with single umbilical artery
Chinese Journal of Perinatal Medicine 2011;14(10):608-611
Objective To explore the relation between single umbilical artery with other malformations and pregnancy outcome,and to provide evidence for pregnancy counseling and diagnosis.Methods The outcomes of 92 fetuses with single umbilical artery diagnosed and delivered in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from September 2007 to July 2009 were followed up and retrospectively analyzed with Chi-square test.Results Among 25 292 pregnant women,92 cases were finally diagnosed as single umbilical artery giving the incidence of 0.36%,among which 57.6% (53/92) of newborns survived without malformations,15.2%(14/92) survived with malformations and 27.2% (25/92) died during perinatal period.There were 36 fetuses (39.1%,36/92) with single umbilical artery complicated with other malformations,among which 29 had single malformation (80.6 % ),and seven ( 19.4 % ) had multiple malformations.The incidence of heart defects was the highest among the complicated malformations,and then followed by central nervous system,digestive system,motor system and urinary system.Thirty-three fetuses with single umbilical artery accepted karyotype analysis.Chromosome abnormality was diagnosed in three subjects (9.1%,3/33).Twenty-three fetus (25.0%,23/92) associated with small for gestational age,and among which 18 fetuses (78.3%,18/23) died with a higher mortality than that (4.0%,24/597) of small for gestational age patients without single umbilical artery (x2=181.71,P<0.01).Conclusions Single umbilical artery is likely to be complicated with congenital anomalies.After single umbilical artery was diagnosed by routine ultrasound,fetal ultrasonography,echocardiography and amniocentesis for karyotype analysis is suggested.Fetal growth restriction is an important indicator of fetal adverse outcomes.
7.Related analysis between atrial enlargement and atrial tachyarrhythmia
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2008;15(2):209-210
Objective To investigate relation between atrial enlargement and pathogenesis of atrial tach yarrhythmia.Methods 786 patients were observed with atrial tachyarrhythmia through 24-hour electrocardiographic monitoring,echocardiographic was used to analysis atrial enlargement.Results The patient with left atrial enlargement in atrial tachyarrhythmia was more than those with right atrial enlargement(73.82%vs 21.25%,P<0,01).Conclusions Atrial enlargement,especially left atrial enlargement,was the one of most important pathogeny in atrial tachyarrhythmia.The enhancement of pressure and muscle tension in atrial were the major factors of electronicphysiobgy disorganization,and the left atrial was the leading position in patients with electronicphysiology abnormity.

9.Quantitative detection of the expression level of transforming growth factor-β1 and-β2 in rat retina with real time PCR
International Eye Science 2008;8(6):1076-1078
AIM: To quantitatively detect the expression level of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and transforming growth factor-β2 (TGF-β2) genes in the retina of normal rat in order to determine the expression difference of TGF-β1 and TGF-β2 in retina.METHODS: The total RNA was isolated from which the first strand of cDNA was prepared. The mRNA levels of TGF-β1 and TGF-β2 were detected quantitatively by real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR).RESULTS: The mRNA levels of TGF-β1 and TGF-β2 were 0.0008±0.0003 and 0.0378±0.009, respectively. Expression of TGF-β2 was obviously higher than that of TGF-β1 in rat retina with statistical significance (t=12.37, P<0.001). The ratio of TGF-β2/TG-β1 was 55.00±26.61.CONCLUSION: QRT-PCR could specifically and accurately detect gene expression level in rat retina. In retina the TGF-β2 gene was expressed more abundantly than TGF-β1. It is suggested that TGF-β2 play an important role in retina diseases.
10.Expression of transforming growth factor-β type Ⅰ receptor and transforming growth factor-β type Ⅱ receptor in rat retina
International Eye Science 2008;8(6):1073-1075
AIM: To quantitatively investigate transforming growth factor-β type Ⅰ receptor (TβRⅠ) and transforming growth factor-β type Ⅱ receptor (TβRⅡ) gene expressions in rat retina.METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rats were chosen in this research. Gene expression was detected quantitatively by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis. RESULTS: The expression level of TβRⅠ and TβRⅡ were 0.00034±0.00013 and 0.0001±0.00005, respectively. The expression level of TβRⅠ was obviously higher than that of TβRⅡ in the rat retina with statistical significance (P<0.01). The ratio of TβRⅠ/TβRⅡ was 3.9±1.7.CONCLUSION: Real time quantitative RT-PCR is an effective method to detect differential expression genes in retina. The change of TβRⅠ/TβRⅡ expression may play an important role in the pathogenesis of retinopathy, which could be further investigated in its significance in the development of proliferation retinopathy.
