1.Mechanisms of photoreceptor cell death and potential treatment strategies in retinal detachment
Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2016;34(12):1140-1144
Retinal detachment (RD) is one of the most common sight-threatening retinal diseases.Visual acuity is not always restored after successful reattachment of the retina.Photoreceptor cell death has been thought to be the major cause of vision loss after RD through various pathways and their interactions,including caspase-dependent apoptosis,endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis and non-apoptotic death forms,such as necroptosis,autophagy,and so on.Based on the understanding of the mechanism of photoreceptor cell death after RD,current efforts on combinatorial inhibition of multiple death pathways,targeting upstream molecules and enhancement of intrinsic neuroprotection would help us to protect photoreceptors effectively and improve visual acuity of RD patients.This review summarized current opinions on mechanisms of photoreceptor cell death and the potential treatment strategies.
2. Comparative Analysis on the Research Progress of Rare Diseases in Domestic and Abroad
Chinese Pharmaceutical Journal 2017;52(6):506-512
OBJECTIVE: To study and collate the literature on rare diseases in domestic and abroad, and comparative analysis, provide a scientific basis for the domestic rare diseases research. METHODS: Retrieved the Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure from January 2011 to June 2016 published literature about rare diseases. RESULTS: Through the screening of literature, finally determine the 200 articles for analysis. It is divided into seven research directions: rare diseases policy research, rare diseases legal and regulatory research, rare diseases medical social security study, orphan drugs availability research, orphan drugs economic evaluation study, orphan drug development research, rare diseases defined standard research. CONCLUSION: Rare diseases policy research is the focus of research both domestic and abroad. Compared with foreign countries, the domestic research on the availability and economic evaluation of orphan drug is less, especially the economic evaluation research is almost blank. It is suggested that the researchers study the multiple aspects of rare diseases and drugs, and to provide the basis and reference for build rare disease policy in China. In addition to the field of rare diseases research, rare diseases drugs face many difficulties in pharmaceutical research, production and supply. The precondition to solve these problems is the nation formulate specific policies and regulations for rare diseases, and then clear the official definition standards of rare diseases, establish relevant policies to encourage pharmaceutical companies to develop rare diseases drugs.

Objective] To explore the relationship between the pathogenesis theory of Qi and blood and stroke. [Method] The system research of ancient literature on the pathogenesis of stroke, analysis of stroke from the relationship between Qi and blood and stroke, focus on exploring the basic role of Qi and blood in the onset of stroke. [Results] Before the Tang and Song Dynasties doctors hadargument in the imaginary evilstroke pathogenesis;Jin era, that the internal gas is stroke, or qi deficiency Erzhi phlegm blockage;Ming and Qing Dynasties, many from the deficiency of Qi and Blood Stasis Theory, gas, blood throughout the stroke always. Supplementing qi and activating blood circulation method can improve the clinical symptoms of patients with stroke, stroke with Qi and blood as the pathogenesis treatment, clinical therapeutic effect. [Conclusion] Stroke syndrome differentiation from the blood, more can promote blood regulating. The stroke engine has extremely important theoretical and clinical significance from the blood, can provide a theoretical basis for the treatment of stroke in different stages, and guide the clinic, it is worth further study.
5.An experimental study on protective effects of flunarizine in retinal ischemic injury

Objective To explore the effects of Acer truncatum oil on oxidative stress and inflammatory reaction in rats after exhaustive exercise to provide a scientific basis for the prevention of sports injury by Acer truncatum oil.Methods Thirty healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into control group (A,normal diet + saline every day),exhaustive group (B,normal diet + saline daily) and exhaustive with Acer truncatum oil group (C,0.21 mL/kg daily Acer truncatum oil gavage),6 weeks later,the rats performed once exhaustive swimming exercise,then the creatine kinase (CK),lactate dehydrogenase (LDH),cytokine interleukin (IL-1β,IL-10) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in the serum;malondialdehyde (MDA) homogenate reduction glutathione (GSH),superoxide dismutase (SOD),catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in muscle were measured.Results After exhaustive exercise,when compared with the group A,the serum levels of CK,LDH,IL-1,TNF-α and IL-10 were significantly higher than in the group B(P<0.05,P<0.01,P<0.05,P<0.01,P<0.05),IL-10/ TNF-α ratio had no statistically significant difference(P>0.05),the level of MDA in gastrocnemius muscle increased significantly (P<0.05),GSH level and GSH-PX activity decreased significantly (P<0.05,P<0.01),SOD and CAT activity were not statistically significant (P>0.05).when compared with the group B,serum CK,LDH level and IL-1 β,TNF-α were significantly decreased (P<0.05,P<0.01,P<0.01,P<0.05),IL-10 had no statistical significance (P>0.05),a significant increase in IL-10/TNF-α(P<0.05),the level of MDA of gastrocnemius muscle decreased significantly (P<0.05),the level of GSH and SOD,CAT and GSH-PX were significantly increased (P<0,01,P<0.01,P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion Acer truncatum oil can significantly reduce oxidative stress and inflammatory reaction caused by the exhaustive exercise,which has a protective effect on skeletal muscle.
9.Attention resource allocation deficits in patients with nonfluent aphasia in Chinese character processing
Chinese Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation 2010;32(10):754-758
Objective To determine whether attention allocation deficits contribute to nonfluent aphasia during orthography, phonology, and semantic processing with Chinese characters. Methods Sixteen patients and sixteen controls participated in single and dual tasks. In the single task participants were required to read Chinese characters silently and to make radical, semantic, and final sound judgments (for example, whether the charactersincluded the sound 'ang' ) simultaneously. During the dual task the only difference was that the participants wereasked to read the presented characters aloud and make the same three judgments. Reaction time and error rate were recorded and analysed. Results Reaction times in orthographic judgment were significantly longer for patients than for controls in both task setups. The error rate was also significantly higher. The patients' reaction times in makingphonological judgments in the dual task were significantly longer than in the single task, but there was no significantdifference in error rates between the patients and the controls. In making semantic judgments, neither reaction times nor error rates differed significantly with either the single or dual task protocol. Conclusion Attention allocation deficits play a key role in Chinese character orthographic and phonological processing for nonfluent aphasia sufferers.
