2.Magnetic resonance spectroscopic study of memory impairment after cerebral infarction treated with electroacupuncture.
Chinese Acupuncture & Moxibustion 2015;35(7):657-660
OBJECTIVETo study the impacts of electroacupuncture (EA) on memory impairment after cerebral infarction through the observation of hydrogen proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) of brain tissue metabolites in the patients of cerebral infarction.
METHODSSixty cases of memory impairment after cerebral infarction were randomized into an observation group and a control group, 30 cases in each one. The conventional rehabilitation training and medication were applied to all the patients. In the observation group, beside the basic treatment, EA was applied to bilateral Ezhongxian (MS 1), Dingzhongxian (MS 5), Dingniehouxiexian (MS 7), Hegu (LI 4), Taichong (LR 3), Zusanli (ST 36), Taixi (KI 3), Xuanzhong (GB 39) and Fengchi (GB 20). The treatment was given once a day, 5 times a week, for 8 weeks. The clinical memory scale was used for the score evaluation before and after treatment in all the patients. The magnetic resonance image (MRI) and 1H-MRS scanning were applied to the head. The ratio of N-acetyl aspartate (NAA) and creatine (Cr) and the ratio of choline (Cho) and Cr were determined in the foci of cerebral infarction.
RESULTSEight weeks later, the scores of clinical memory scale were all increased after treatment as compared with those before treatment in the two group (all P<0. 01). The ratio of NAA and Cr was increased as compared with that before treatment (P<0. 05); the ratio of Cho and Cr was reduced as compared with that before treatment (P<0. 05). The changes in the observation group were more obvious than those in the control group (all P<0. 05).
CONCLUSIONOn the basis of the conventional medication and rehabilitation training, EA improves the metabolism of brain tissue and memory function of the patients. The efficacy of this therapy is better than that of medication combined with rehabilitation training.

3.Progress in genetic models associated with Parkinson's disease
International Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2009;32(5):313-316
Parkinson's disease(PD) is a kind of degenerative disease caused by both genetic and environ-mental factors. Concerning these two factors, various animal models for parkinson's disease were made for the study. Transgenic animal models were made by the method of microinjection, electronic perforation, particle bom-bardment, virus vector transfection and so on, which can express exogenous target gene. These models imitated the process of Parkinson's desease induced by virulence gene and provided a powerful tool for investigation on e-tiopathogenesis, gene therapy and medical intervention. In this article, we reviewed the progress of genetic models associated with PD and theirs contribution to PD research.
4.Progress in genetics of vesicoureteral reflux
International Journal of Pediatrics 2016;43(1):9-13
Vesicoureteral reflux,a most common congenital anomaly of the kidney and urinary tract,is associated with the malformation of ureterovesical junction. It does not cause any specific symptoms or signs un-less it is part of a syndrome or complicated by urinary tract infection. The exact cause is not clear,and genes or environmental factors may result in vesicoureteral reflux. The prevalence of siblings and offspring of reflux pa-tients are higher than normal control groups,so the genetic screening is necessary. This article will review the ge-netics of vesicoureteral reflux and possible interactions.
5.Research progress of signaling pathways in osteoporosis
Chinese Journal of Orthopaedics 2017;37(1):59-64
Osteoporosis is a systemic metabolic degenerative skeletal disease, characterized by reduced bone mass and disrupted bone microarchitecture, leading to enhanced bone fragility, decreased bone strength and increased susceptibility to frac?tures. Its occurrence and development is an extremely complex biological process, which is a multi factor, multi gene and multi stage experience. Osteoporosis is the fourth chronic disease in our country, which mainly affects postmenopausal women and the el?derly. Bone mass is jointly maintained by the action of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. If the im?balance between the two occurs, resulting in reduced bone formation and increased bone resorption, bone homeostasis is changed to cause osteoporosis. Traditional treatment for osteoporosis are drugs which just to depress bone resorption (such as bisphospho?nates and estrogen), or just to promote bone formation (such as PTH and statins), or just to supply the source of calcium. This sin?gle point of local treatment is clearly difficult to play a long?term part in complex lesions of osteoporosis. In recent years, research?ers have studied the molecular signaling pathways related to osteoporosis. The current studies reveal that signaling pathways in os?teoporosis include MAPK, PI3K/Akt, Wnt/β?catenin, RANKL/RANK/OPG, Hedgehog and Notch signaling pathways. These signal?ing pathways play an important role in the molecular pathogenesis of osteoporosis. In addition, there are GH/IGF?1, PPAR?γ, PTH signaling pathways and so on. Taking these signaling pathways as targeting points is a new strategy for the development of new anti osteoporosis drugs or the prevention of osteoporosis. But there are cross?talks and/or interactions between these signaling pathways related to osteoporosis and the pathogenesis of osteoporosiswhich make its therapy more difficult. This paper reviews the research progress of signaling pathway in osteoporosis in order to explore the molecular mechanism of its occurrence. Thus these signaling pathways can be taken as new targets to develop safer and more effective anti?osteoporosis drugs.

International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2016;38(9):811-813
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of topicalJinhuang unction combined with oralSangqin mixture forthe patients with moderate to severe acnevulgaris.Methods A total of 72 patients with moderate to severe acne (Pills bury grade 2 or grade 3) were included and divided into a study group and a control group by random number table method, 36 in each group. The patients were treated for 2 months in the study group with topicalJinhuang unction combined with oralSangqin mixture, and in the control group with topical fusidic acid combined with oralSangqin mixture. The number of lesions and the Global Acne GradingSystem (GAGS) score for each patient were obtained and evaluated. The number offollicularPropionibacterium acnes was determined with real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction.Results After treatment, the number of papule (28.69 ± 10.50vs. 36.61 ± 10.10;t=3.262,P=0.002) was significantly less than that in the control group. The pustules was 1(0, 3) and the nodules was 0 (0, 1) in the study group, which were significantly less than those of 3(0, 15) and 0 (0, 4) in the control group (P<0.01). The GAGS scores was 13(6, 24), which was significantly less than those of 20(17, 32) in the control group significantly lower (Z=-6.482,P<0.01). The number reduction rate of follicular Propionibacterium acnes per unit area in the study group were 43.07% (-57.14%, 86.23%), which was significantly higher than that of 12.68% (-34.52%, 51.11%) in the control group (Z=-2.705,P=0.007). Conclusions TopicalJinhuang unction combined with oralSangqin mixture may reduce the damage of the skin, decrease the numbers of papule, pustules and nodules, depressPropionibacterium acnes in patients with moderate to severe acne vulgaris. TopicalJinhuang unction combined with oralSangqin mixture is superior to topical fusidic acid combined with oralSangqin mixture for the treatment of moderate to severe acne vulgaris.

Clinical Medicine of China 2015;(3):251-254
Objective To evaluate the treatment effect of sustained low-efficiency diafiltration( SLEDF) on patients with severe acute pancreatitis( SAP). Methods Forty-two patients with SAP were randomly divided into continuous veno-venous hemofiltration( CVVH)group with 22 patients and SLEDF group with 20 patients. In addition to routine treatment,patients in CVVH and SLEDF were administrated to patients respectively in two groups. Mortality,incidence of complication,clinical symptoms,sign and laboratory examination and recovery time were recorded and measured. The scores of acute physiology and chronic health evaluation( APACHE)II and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome( MODS ) were performed. The level of C-reactive protein( CRP ),tumor necrosis factor-α( TNF-α),interleukin( IL )-6 and IL-8 were measured. Results There were no significant differences in terms of the mortality(90. 91% vs. 90. 00%;χ2 =0. 010,P=0. 920),incidence of complication (18. 18% vs. 20. 00%;χ2 =0. 023,P =0. 881)and recovery time of clinical symptoms,sign and laboratory examination in CVVH group and SLEDF( P﹥0. 05 ). There were also no significant differences between CVVH and SLEDF group in terms of scores of APACHE II((12. 1 ± 6. 1)vs.(11. 9 ± 7. 2);t=0. 097,P=0. 920), MODS((4. 3 ± 1. 7)vs.(4. 4 ± 1. 8);t=0. 185,P=0. 850),CRP((161. 7 ± 22. 9)mg/L vs.(157. 6 ± 21. 8) mg/L;t=0. 594,P=0. 550),TNF-α((5. 8 ± 1. 9)ng/L vs.(5. 7 ± 1. 8)ng/L;t=0. 175,P=0. 860),IL-6 ((4. 1 ±1. 2)pg/L vs.(4. 2 ± 1. 1)pg/L;t =0. 282,P =0. 780)and IL-8((3. 3 ± 1. 4)pg/L vs.(3. 2 ± 1. 0)pg/L;t=0. 268,P=0. 790)at 72 h post-treatment. However,the above test indices were decreased at 72 h post-treatment than those at admission(P﹥0. 05). Conclusion SLEDF and CVVH are proved with same treatment effect based on the levels of inflammatory cytokine,alleviating pathogenetic condition and improving prognosis in patients with severe acute pancreatitis.
8.Receptor tyrosine kinases in osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma
Journal of International Oncology 2015;(7):551-553
Osteosarcoma and ewing sarcoma are the two most common types of primary malignant bone tumors. Receptor tyrosine kinases(RTKs),including varieties of cell growth factors and proto-oncogene pro-ducts,are the high-affinity cell surface receptors which play an important role in the normal physiological func-tion of cells. A large number of studies have demonstrated that the abnormal RTKs signaling pathways may pro-mote the tumorigenesis and development of osteosarcoma and ewing sarcoma by affecting tumor cell survival, proliferation,invasion and metastasis. Targeting treatment of RTKs is a promising therapeutic approach for osteosarcoma and ewing sarcoma.
9.Perinatal outcomes of isolated single umbilical artery in full-term birth
Chinese Journal of Perinatal Medicine 2015;(4):275-278
Objective To investigate the perinatal outcomes of isolated single umbilical artery (ISUA) in full-term birth. Methods We performed a retrospective study of 82 252 pregnant women (aged<35 years;singleton; full-term live birth; no known chromosomal/structural anomalies) who delivered between January 1, 2011 and January 1, 2012 in 39 hospitals in 14 cities in China. There were 273 cases with ISUA as study group and 1 092 cases with a three-vessel cord selected in a 1∶4 ratio as control group. Perinatal outcomes including delivery modes (vaginal delivery or emergency cesarean section for fetal reasons), birth weight and height, placental weight, umbilical cord length, Apgar scores at 1 min, and rate of neonatal asphyxia were analyzed retrospectively. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test, two independent samples t-test or rank sum test. Results The incidence of ISUA was 0.3%(273/82 252). There was no difference between the two groups with regard to maternal age, parity, gravidity, smoking status, gestational age at birth, or rate of complications during pregnancy (gestational diabetes mellitus or pregnancy-induced hypertension) (all P>0.05). The birth weight in ISUA group and control group was (3 259±463) and (3 344±411) g (t=3.689), birth hight was (48.6±2.7) and (49.7±1.9) cm (t=8.368), placental weight was (508±72) and (543±153) g (t=3.114), umbilical cord length was (52.6±8.1) and (53.7±7.5) cm (t=1.983), and Apgar scores at 1 min were 9.0 (8.0-10.0) and 10.0 (9.0-10.0) (Z=11.831), respectively; the values in the ISUA group were lower than those in control group (all P < 0.05). No significant differences were observed in the rate of vaginal delivery and emergeny cesarean section for fetal reasons between the ISUA group and control group [52.8%(144/273) and 49.9%(545/1 092),χ2=0.704;19.4%(25/273) and 15.7% (86/1 092), χ2=1.162; both P>0.05]. Conclusions ISUA does not increase emergency cesarean delivery rates for the fetal reasons, but the fetal growth and development may fall behind those with a three-vessel umbilical cord. Monitoring during pregnancy and delivery should be intensified for fetuses with ISUA.
10.Protection of Edararone on Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis 40 Renal Tubular Epithelial Cells in Rats
Herald of Medicine 2015;(7):875-878
Objective To investigate the protective effect and its mechanism of edaravone against rat renal tubular epithelial cell injury induced by cisplatin. Methods The rat renal tubular epithelial cells (NRK-52E) were divided into the control, model control (50μmol·mL-1 cisplatin), group A (50μmol·mL-1 cisplatin plus 10μmol·mL-1 edaravone), B (50μmol·mL-1 cisplatin plus 20 μmol·mL-1 edaravone), and C (50 μmol·mL-1 cisplatin plus 40 μmol·mL-1 edaravone). The cell proliferation ability, content of malondialdehyde, activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD), level of reactive oxygen species ( ROS) , rate of apoptosis, express of protein and mRNA of Bax, Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 activation of cell were detected. Results The proliferation and SOD activity in NRK-52E cells declined, malondialdehyde and ROS were elevated upon being co-cultured with cisplatin. Moreover, the rate of apoptosis, express of protein and mRNA of Bax and Bcl-2, and Caspase-3 activation of cells were upregulated compared to the control group. However, edaravone stimulated cell proliferation, SOD activity and protein and mRNA of Bcl-2 and lowered content of malondialdehyde, level of ROS, rate of apoptosis, express of Bax protein and mRNA and Caspase-3 activation of cell(P<0. 05). Conclusion Edaravone can alleviate rat renal tubular epithelial cell injury induced by cisplatin, via inhibiting oxidative stress and down-regulating cell apoptosis.
