Basic & Clinical Medicine 2006;0(01):-
Objective To investigate the different ability to produce H_(2)O_(2+) of the vaginal lactobacilli and their potential antagonism toward E.coli in ivtro.Then to select the potential lactobacilli strain to treat the female urogenital infection.Method To detect production of H_(2)O_(2) by measuring the blue matter in water solution with absorbtion spectrophotometry.The lactobacillus and E.coli were cultured together in solid culture medium,followed by the measurement of inhibition zone around the lactobacilli after 24 hour.Results We selected 4 strains of lactobacilli from vagina.L.acidophilus1 and L.paracasei3 are the stronger to produce H_(2)O_(2).The largest diameter of the ring of inhibition is shown around the lactobacilli acidophilus 1.Conclusion The lactobacilli acidophilus 1 and lactobacilli crispatus are the most potential strains as antagonist to E.coli and their antagonism depend not only on lacid or H_(2)O_(2).
2.Research progress on PLK1 in castrate-resistant prostate cancer
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2015;(14):720-723
Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) is a highly conserved serine/threonine protein kinase that has attracted research attention be-cause it plays a critical role in mitosis regulation. PLK1 is overexpressed in 80%of human tumors, which indicates a poor prognosis in most tumors. PLK1 is one of the most promising targets for antitumor therapy because it is upregulated in castrate-resistant prostate can-cer (CRPC). This review focused on the basic structure and function of PLK1, the relationship between PLK1 and CRPC occurrence and progression, and CRPC treatment by inhibiting PLK1. This study provides a theoretical basis for the targeted molecular therapy of CRPC.

To investigate the psychological difference in abdominal aortic aneurysm patients before and after operation and its influence on life quality, 24 patients who can understand and complete the questionnaire were enrolled in the study, the inquiry was performed after admission and discharge with the standard SCL 90 table. The results showed that the general conditions, depression, anxiety, compulsive symptoms and fear of the patients had marked differences before and after operation. It is concluded that operation of abdominal aortic aneurysm can not only prevent the rupture of aneurysm but also relieve the patients′ psychological pressuer and improve their life quality.
4.Microscopic repair of iridodialysis by contusions
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2011;18(16):2199-2200
ObjectiveTo investigate the causes, operation time, and microscopic repairing procedures of contusive iridodialysis. Methods23cases(23 eyes) who had partial iridodialysis due to contusions of the eyeballs underwent the microscopic repair during 7 to 18 days after injury. Viscoelastic agent and other auxiliary devices were used in the operation. ResultsAll eyes were fully corrected with approximate round-shaped pupils and their visual function improved. 1 eye with raised intraocular pressure was performed with trabeculectomy. ConclusionTimely repair of partial iridodialysis performed under microscope was safe and effective.
5.Damage to the central noradrenergic system and changes of P3-like cognitive potential in rats
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2005;9(13):196-198
BACKGROUND: It is well known that central noradrenergic system takes part in learning and memory, but there are a few researches focused on the effects of impairing the central noradrenergic system on rat' s P3-like cognitive potential.OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of impairing the central noradrenergic system on rat's P3-like cognitive potential.DESIGN: Randomized controlled study based on the experimental animals.SETTING: Department of physiology in a medical college of a university.MATERIALS: Totally 30 male SD rats, clean degree, weighing from 500 to 600 g, were selected from the Experimental Animal Center of Sun Yat-sen Medical University(certificate: 26-99A018), drank freely and fed timely under the normal condition. After Y-maze test of all the rats, 24 rats with normal learning and memory function, which met the criteria specified in the description of Y-maze test, were randomly divided into three groups(8 rats in each group): control group, 6-oxidopamine (6-OHDA) injection group and saline control group.INTERVENTIONS: The models of central norndrenergic system impairment were made by injecting 6-hydroxysopamine(6-OHDA) into the bilateral dorsal noradrenergic bundle in dentate granule(DG). Then Y-type maze test and elicitation of P3-likewere carried out respectively before and after the models were built.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Main outcome: P3-like latency, total reaction time(TRT) and error number(EN). Secondary outcome: Results of P3-like test recorded in the 12 days after the models were built.RESULTS: As compared with the controls, the model rats' P3-like latency and total reaction time(TRT) prolonged and error number(EN) increased statistically ( P < 0.05 ).CONCLUSION: Central NE takes part in the activities of learning and memory and plays a certain role in the production and integration of P3 -like.
8.Study of the correlation of cerebral CT and P300 in 30 patients with Alzheimer's disease
Journal of Third Military Medical University 2003;0(17):-
Objective To observe the changes of cerebral CT and auditory event related potentials (ERP, P300) for finding the effective method for the comprehensive evaluation of the patients with Alzheimer's disease. Methods Cerebral CT, P300, and Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) were employed to assess 30 patients with Alzheimer's disease. Results Latency and amplitude of wave of P300 in patients were prolonged and decreased, respectively. Cerebral CT found an obvious atrophy in the frontal and temporal lobes of cerebra. These changes were obviously correlated with the severity of dementia. Conclusion Using cerebral CT, P300, and MMSE can offer morphometric, functional and psychological information which is helpful for precise assessment of patients with Alzheimer's disease.
9.Effect of paeonol on expression and function of drug transporters BCRP and SLCO1 B1 in HepG2 cell
Chinese Journal of Biochemical Pharmaceutics 2015;(3):6-9
Objective To investigate influences of paeonol on mRNA expression and function of drug transporters BCRP and SLCO1B1 in HepG2 cell.Methods Cell counting Kit-8 assay was used to detect the viability of HepG2 cells;Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (qPCR) was performed to measure the expressions of BCRP and SLCO1B1 mRNAs; flow cytometry was applied to determine the transport functions of BCRP and SLCO1B1. Results Paeonol (2-8μg/mL) did not decrease HepG2 cell survival rate, but 16 μg/mL paeonol significantly reduced cell survival rate (P<0.05). Paeonol(2-8μg/mL)significantly induced the mRNA expression and function of drug transporters BCRP and SLCO1B1(P <0.05).Compared with control group, transcription level of paeonol group’s BCRP and SLCO1B1 drug transporters obviously up-regulated, the of translocation efficiency of substrate specificity increased significantly (P <0.05).Conclusion Paeonol can induce drug hepatocellular transporters BCRP and SLCO1B1 gene expression, thereby promote the substrate transport the transmembrane.It is indicated that the drug combination of paeonol and BCRP and SLCO1B1 transporters, there may be a risk of drug interactions.
