1.Discussion on Key Field of Study on Modern TCM Syndromes
Chinese Journal of Information on Traditional Chinese Medicine 2015;(7):14-16
Although the new methods and new ideas have been introduced into researches on modern syndromes, research levels of syndromes have continued to be broadened and deepened gradually. However, understanding of essential theories and general research methods have not yet achieved a broad consensus in TCM field. The phenomenon is caused by the systematic complex features of syndromes, which are difficult to be explained for a short while, and require progressive understanding and development. It is also related to the reason that current main stream researches on syndromes lack general overview and analysis. All of the above lead to the failure of efficient penetration of all syndrome researches and restrict synergetic development among these researches. This article summarized and analyzed the overview of key field of study on syndromes, and expounded their disadvantages and development suggestions, with purposes to improve future syndrome research field, enrich syndrome research methods, and promote necessary penetration of syndrome researches.

Chinese Journal of cardiovascular Rehabilitation Medicine 2013;22(5):439-443
Objective: To explore relationship among serum levels of homocysteine (Hcy), interleukin (IL)-10, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and infarct volume in patients with acute cerebral infarction(CI). Methods: A total of 125 acute CI patients were regard as acute CI group, and another 37 healthy subjects were enrolled as healthy control group. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method was used to measure serum levels of Hcy, IL-10 and MMP-9 of subjects; according to infarct volume, acute CI patients were divided into small infarction group (≤5cm3, n=47), medium infarction group (5~15 cm3, n=41) and large infarction group (≥15cm3, n=37); changes of levels of Hcy, IL-10 and MMP-9 were compared among all groups. Results: Compared with healthy control group, there were significant increase in levels of MMP-9 and Hcy, and significant decrease in IL-10 level in acute CI group. Compared with small and medium infarction groups, there was significant increase in serum Hcy level [(16.11±3.5) μmol/L, (16.79±3.4) μmol/L vs. (18.5±4.2) μmol/L, P<0.01, P<0.05] in large infarction group; Compared with small infarction group, there was significant increase in serum MMP-9 level [(161±27) ng/ml vs. (238±26) ng/ml, (256±35) ng/ml, P<0.05, P<0.01];Compared with small infarction and medium infarction groups, there were significant decrease in IL-10 level [(0.60±0.17) ng/ml vs. (0.59±0.15) ng/ml, (0.31±0.12) ng/ml, P<0.01 both] in large infarction groups. Conclusion: Serum levels of homocysteine, interleukin-10 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 are related to onset of acute cerebral infarction, and may reflect risk degree of cerebral infarction.
5.Risk factors and clinical analysis on acute hepatic dysfunction induced by sepsis
Chinese Journal of Emergency Medicine 2012;21(1):61-64
Objective To study the incidence,risk factors and clinical features of patients with acute hepatic dysfunction induced by sepsis. Methods One hundred and sixty patients with sepsis were assigned to two groups according to liver function: sepsis group and acute hepatic dysfunction group. Logistic regression analysis was used to study the risk factors.The comparison of plasma endothelin-1 ( ET-1 ) and sepsis-related organ failure assessment (SOFA) score between two groups was carried out.Results Of 160sepsis patients,25 (15.6%) patients were subjected to acute hepatic dysfunction induced by sepsis.Logistic regression analysis showed that long-term indulgence in wine drunk (OR =4.102,95% CI 1.288 -13.063 ),history of cardiac insufficiency ( OR =4.109,95% CI 1.352 - 12.493) and hypotension ( OR =5.833,95% CI:1.712 - 19.868 ) were the significant risk factors.Though oxygenation index ( PaO2/FiO2),platelet (PLA) and Glasgow coma scale (GCS) were not different between two groups,the total bilirubin (Tbil),direct bilirubin (Dbil),creatitine (Cre),range of blood glucose variation (Rglu),lactic acid (Lac),plasma ET-1and SOFA score in acute hepatic dysfunction group were higher than those in sepsis group. Mortality rate in acute hepatic dysfunction group was higher than that in sepsis group.Conclusions Long-term drunk,history of cardiac insufficiency and hypotension are the risk factors in acute hepatic dysfunction induced by sepsis.Elevated arterial Lac and plasma ET-1 levels,and higher SOFA score in acute hepatic dysfunction group suggest poor prognosis.
6.The value of procalcitonin in interpretation of infection with systemic use of glucocorticosteroid
Chinese Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2013;36(11):1052-1054
It is difficult to interpret the infection after glucocorticosteroid treatment because glucocorticosteroid will lead to increased peripheral blood neutrophils.Procalcitonin (PCT) is a major biomarker,which can be used as the basis for early diagnosis of severe bacterial infections.The level of PCT is not inhibited by glucocorticosteroid.PCT can be used to interpret infection as systemic use of glucocorticosteroid

10.Attach importance to injury of choledocho-pancreatico-duo-denal junction
Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2009;8(6):404-405
Injury of choledocho-pancreatico-duodenal junction refers to the penetrating injury of the bile duct, pancrea-tic duct or duodenal wall in the region of ampulla of Vater. It is often caused by improper operation of surgical instruments, and may lead to leakage of bile, pancreatic or duodenal contents into retroperitoneal space and chemical corrosion in a wide range of retroperitoneal soft tissue, which result in severe secondary infection or even death. Leakage of contrast media, hypertrophy of tissue and anatomical changes were the evidences for injury of choledocho-pancreatico-duodenal junction. Injury of choledocho-pancreatico-duodenal junction can be. divided into 4 types, and treatment selected according to different types of injury is neces-sary for the prognosis of patients.
