2. The angiogenesis patterns of human glioma transplanted in nude mice
Tumor 2007;27(6):437-440
Objective: To investigate the expression of molecular marker ABCG2 of stem cells and tumor angiogenesis-related gene products including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), CD34 and very late antigen alfa-2 (VLA-2α) in human glioma-bearing nude mice and observe the patterns of angiogenesis in transplanted tumors by CD34-PAS double staining. Methods: The human glioma cells were subcutaneously transplanted in 30 nude mice. Six normal brain tissues were as controls. The hematoxylin and eosin staining and immunohistochemical examination were performed to determine the positive rate and the hot-spot of gene product expression. The patterns of angiogenesis were observed under light microscope. Results: The positive rates of ABCG2, VEGF, and VLA-2α expression were all 100% in transplanted tumors. The average percentage of positive cells was (3. 93 ± 1. 438)%, (34. 84 ± 6.212)% (30.33 ± 4.428)%, respectively. The value of micro-vascular density (MVD) labeled by CD34 averaged at 29. 78 ± 5.88. All the three microcirculation patterns, endothelium-dependent vessels, mosaic vessels and vasculogenic mimicry, were present in xenografted human glioma tissue samples. Conclusions: The ABCG2-overexpressed cells tended to be located close to blood vessels. VEGF and VLA-2α play an important role in angiogenesis of transplanted tumors in nude mice. There exist three different microcirculation patterns in high malignant transplanted tumors.

Objective To investigate the treatment effect of recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor (rb-bFGF) in patients with gingivitis and its influence on gingival sulcus bleeding index. Methods Sixty-eight patients with gingivitis treated in our hospital were randomly divided into control group (34 cases) and observation group (34 cases). The control group were given basic periodontal therapy, while the observation group were treated with rb-bFGF. The clinical effects, gingival sulcus bleeding index (SBI) before and after treatment, and the recurrence were compared between the two groups. Results After treatment, the total effective rate (97.06%) of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (70.59%), the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The SBI of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group at 1 and 2 weeks after treatment (P<0.05). The recurrence rate of the observation group (5.88%) was significantly lower than that of the control group (23.53%) (P<0.05). The incidence of complications such as pain, periodontal abscess, bromopnea and loosening was significantly lower in the observation group (8.82%) than in the control group (32.35%). The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion After rb-bFGF treatment, the symptoms of toothache and gingival swelling disappear, normal function of teeth is restored, gingival sulcus bleeding improves significantly, with fewer adverse reactions and obvious clinical effect.
6.The cardioprotective effect of diazoxide preconditioning in immature rabbits
Chinese Journal of Anesthesiology 1995;0(12):-
Objective To investigate whether diazoxide preconditioning can exert protective effect on myocardium against ischemia-reperfusion injury in immature rabbits and the possible mechanism. Methods Twenty-one healthy 3-4 week old white rabbits of either sex were randomly divided into 3 groups : group Ⅰ control ( n = 8) ; group Ⅱ diazoxide preconditioning ( n = 8) and group Ⅲ diazoxide + 5-HD preconditioning ( n = 5) . The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal pentobarbital 50 mg?kg-1 and heparized (150 IU?kg-1). The hearts were excised and connected to Langendorff apparatus and passively perfused with normothermic (37℃), oxygenated (95% O2 , 5% CO2) Krebs-Henseleit buffer (KHB) at a constant perfusion pressure of 70cmH2O. A latex balloon was inserted via left atrium into left ventricle and filled with water. The left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) was maintained at 10 mm Hg. In group I cardiac arrest was induced with St Thomas Ⅱ solution after the heart was perfused with KHB for 30 min. In group 11 after being perfused with KHB for 15 min, the hearts were perfused with diazoxide 100?mol?L-1 for 5 min followed by 10 min wash-out with KHB , then cardiac arrest was induced as in group Ⅰ . In group Ⅲ after being perfused with KHB for 15 min, the hearts were perfused with diazoxide 100?mol?L-1 and 5-HD 100?mol?L-1 for 5 min, followed by 10 min wash-out with KHB, then the cardiac arrest was induced as in group Ⅰ and Ⅱ . All hearts were subjected to 30 min ischemia followed by 45 min reperfusion after cardiac arrest. Coronary flow (CF), HR, left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) and dp / dt max were measured after the hearts were perfused with KHB for 15 min (baseline) and at 5, 10, 15, 30, 45 min after reperfusion was resumed. Coronary effluent was collected at 5 min after reperfusion was resumed for determination of myocardial enzymes, CK, LDH and AST. At the end of experiment myocardial specimen was obtained for determination of ATP content and ultrastructure examination. Results There was no significant difference in the baseline hemodynamic parameters among the three groups. The rates of recovery of LVDP and ? dp / dt max after reperfusion were significantly higher in group Ⅱ than those in group I and Ⅲ ( P 0.05 ) , Conclusion Diazoxide can protect myocardium from ischemia-reperfusion injury by opening the mitochondrial KATP channel in immature rabbits.
7.Documentation archiving in clinical data management.
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica 2015;50(11):1410-1414
ICH GCP requires that all information of clinical trial should be recorded, processed, and stored in a way that allows the accurate reporting, interpretation and verification. A trial master file (TMF) contains all paper or electronic records/documentations related to a clinical trial. As a tool of the retrospective analysis, the TMF profile should be able to reproduce the full procedure of the trial completely. As a part of TMF profiles, both the accuracy and completeness of clinical data management documentation are important in data integrity. It is helpful to learn the workflow of clinical data management in different stage of a clinical trial, to understand which documents are essential, and why the documentation of clinical data management is important for data integrity. This paper elaborates how to perform the good documentation practice of clinical data management, and suggests that both the precise and efficient document management and regular quality control may ensure the high quality of clinical data documentation management on the basis of an intensive awareness of the overall process of clinical data management.

Based on special biological characteristics and prognosis, the incidence of gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GEJA) has rapidly increased over recent years, and its diagnosis and treatment remain controversial. Compared with simple surgery, neo-adjuvant and adjuvant therapies can improve the survival of patients with locally advanced GEJA. Under neo-adjuvant therapy, neo-adjuvant chemoradiation is superior to neo-adjuvant chemotherapy alone for improving the resectability, maintaining loco-regional control, and improving the quality of life of the patient. The combination of this therapy with targeted drugs may further increase the ef-ficacy of GEJA. Most data on GEJA-treated patients were obtained from randomized clinical studies on esophageal cancer or gastric cancer. Thus, prospective randomized controlled studies with a large sample size should be performed to optimize the strategy of neo-adjuvant and adjuvant therapies, and further improve the treatment outcome. In this article, studies on the comprehensive treatment of GEJA were reviewed.

The adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (EGJA) is located in a unique anatomical position and at the junction of the squamous epithelium and the columnar epithelium. The biological characteristics of this disease are different from those of esophageal or gastric cancer. The diagnostic classification of EGJA has been subject to controversies, and no gold standard therapeu-tic regimens have been established, especially in the choice of treatment of locally advanced EGJA. Results from large-scale clinical tri-als and imaging technology development showed that the treatment of EGJA has been individualized. Furthermore, this problem high-lights the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration. This article focuses on current progress in studies on EGJA.
