1.Current research on molecular genetics of congenital cataract
Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2013;31(9):891-896
Congenital cataract accounts for 10% of childhood blindness worldwide and is the second leading cause of childhood blindness in China.30%-50% of congenital cataract patients are caused by heritability,and majority of them is autosomal dominant traits.In addition,autosomal recessive and X-linked fashion also are found to lead to congenital cataract.Up to now,more than 20 disease-causing genes and 100 mutation locus have been mapped to different chromosomal locations in the human genome using genetic linkage methods.The cataract-associated genes were classified as four categories,including crystallin gene,membrane protein gene,transcription factor regulatory gene and others,and they induce different phenotypes of cataract by different molecular mechanisms.To understand the disease-causing genes and their mechanism is helpful for the genetic diagnosis and treatment of congenital cataract.The current researching progress in molecular genetics of cataract is summarized in this review.
2.Research on transformation of resveratrol and soybean isoflavone by microbic metabolic enzyme
Medical Journal of Chinese People's Liberation Army 2001;0(11):-
Objective To establish a better and easier method for producing resveratrol and soybean isoflavone from polydatin and genistin by microbic metabolic enzyme. Methods The fungal strain Aspergillus niger S was fermented with solid medium. The enzyme isolated from Aspergillus niger S was purified by precipitation with ammonium sulfate and column chromatography with Q sepharose fast flow and superdex G200. The purified enzyme could be used to transform both resveratrol and soybean isoflavone. An analytical method for all the transformed products was established by the improved RP-HPLC. The HPLC separation was performed using a C18 250mm?4.6mm column and a gradient elution program. The eluent was acetonitrile/0.1% acetic acid in a flow rate of 1ml/min. The wavelength for ultraviolet detection was 280nm. Results The molecular weight of the enzyme isolated from Aspergillus niger S was about 165 kD, which was quite different from other reported glucosidases. The optimal temperature for this enzyme was 50℃, and the enzymatic activity decreased when the temperature dropped below 40℃ or elevated over 60℃. The optimal pH values were 5-10, and the enzyme would lose its activity if the pH was below 4. It was revealed by improved RP-HPLC that the products were polydatin and genistin at 27min and 39min, respectively, before enzyme treatment, while the transformed products at 45min and 64min after the enzyme treatment were resveratrol and genistein, respectively. Conclusions This purified enzyme isolated from Aspergillus niger S can transform both resveratrol and soybean isoflavone from low active form to high active form. It is a convenient and accurate method for the determination of resveratrol and soybean isoflavone. This method may be very useful in industry as well as clinical experimentation.

4.Progress of Toll-like receptors and the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy
International Journal of Pediatrics 2014;41(6):577-580
Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN),characterized pathologically by deposition of IgA complexes in the glomerular mesangium,is the most common form of primary glomerulo-nephritis in children and adolescents and is considered to be one of the important cause of end-stage renal failure.Abnormal immune factors become the research hotspot in recent years,but the specific pathogenesis has not yet been fully elucidated.Toll-like receptors are a family of receptors,which have been evolutionarily conserved to recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns.Toll-like receptors do not only play an important role in activation of innate immune,but also regulate acquired immune,which is a bridge connecting the natural immune and acquired immune.Studies have shown that Toll-like receptors plays an important role in the process of occurrence and development of IgAN.This paper reviews its biological characteristics and the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy.

Journal of Integrative Medicine 2010;8(12):1190-4
In order to elucidate the mechanisms of Chinese herbal medicine, much work has been done based on chemical constituent-target in the molecular system. It cannot comply with the holistic efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine. Thus, the authors of this paper proposed to study the functional target adopted from Western medicine. The data of Chinese herbal function were collected from 2005 edition of The People's Republic of China Pharmacopoeia. A total of 135 functional targets were found, and a network about functional target and mode of action was built. The authors also explored the applications of functional target and the network combined with Sijunzi Decoction and Mahuang Decoction. The results, reflecting the feature of Chinese herbal medicine, will not only be helpful to elucidate the holistic mechanisms of Chinese herbal medicine, but also beneficial to studying the theory of Chinese formulas and developing new formulas.
