1.Application of gene chip in lymphomas
Journal of International Oncology 2008;35(11):849-852
Gene chips have been widely applied for the study of lymphoma,involvement discovering tumor-associated genes,assisting classification and investigating cell origin.So far,studies about gene chips detection mainly focus on B-cell lymphomas and T-cell lymphomas.According to those studies,traditional classifications of some kinds of lymphomas have been suspected and cell origin of some kinds of lymphomas have been suggested,which lay the foundation for further study.However,there are still somethings unknown about extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma,more gene chip detection should be performed for further understanding of the tumor.

Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 2010;26(12):1090-1093
Type 1 diabetes, a complex genetic disease, is determined by both genetic and environmental factors. After excluding the five susceptibility loci discovered by genetic linkage studies and candidate-gene association studies, more than 30 new susceptibility loci have been found to be related with type 1 diabetes as a result of genome-wide association study.
3.Octreotide for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma:Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2010;33(16):28-31
Objective To evaluate the effect of octreotide on the survival of patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods Electronic databases searches were conducted.Meta-analysis of all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing octreotide versus placebo or no treatment was performed.Results Five RCTs including 579 patients with HCC wers assessed.Meta-analysis of the five studies showed that octreotide had no significant effect on the 6,12 and 24 months survival rates of the patients(6months:OR=1.69,95%CI 0.89-3.21,P=0.11;12 months:OR=2.41,95%CI 0.83-6.93,P=0.10;24months:OR=0.58,95%CI 0.28-1.17,P=0.13).To perform the sensitivity analysis,the blank study,the trial detecting somatostatin receptor expression,the study with short survival or the two trials with short follow-up intervals were excluded,and the results also showed that the octreotide treatment had no significant effect on the 6 and 12 months survival rates.A sensitivity analysis based on two trials indicated that the 24months survival rate of the octreotide group was even lower than that of the control group(OR=0.51,95% CI0.27-0.98,P=0.04).Conclusions This Meta-analysis demonstrates that octreotide could not improve the survival of patients with advanced HCC.The administration of octreotide should not be recommended for the treatment of advaneed HCC.
4.Protective Role of Hydrogen Sulfide on Neonatal rat Myocardial Cells by Hypoxia-Reoxygenation Injury
Chinese Circulation Journal 2009;24(3):227-230
Objective:To investigate the direct effect of different concentrations of hydrogen sulfide(H_2S)on neonatal rat myocardial cells by hypoxia injury during different time point,and the indirect effect of reoxygenation injury in order to analyze the protective role of H_2S on myocardial cells subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation injury. Methods:Primary cultured myocardial cells from neonatal rats were randomly divided into 9 groups:Normal control group,Hypoxia NaHS 0 μmol/L group,100 μmol/L group,200 μmol/L group,400 μmol/L group and those groups subjected to hypoxia for 24 h,48 h and 72 h. Hypoxia/reoxygenation NaHS 0 μmol/L group,100 μmol/L group,200 μmol/L group,400 μmol/L group and those groups subjected to hypoxia for 24 h,48 h,72 h and then reoxygenation for 2 h. The number of survival cells were counted and the activity of lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)were measured respectively at each time point. Results:At the same time point of 24 h,48 h,72 h hypoxia,the number of survival cells increased and the activity of LDH decreased in hypoxia NaHS treatment groups as compared with Hypoxia NaHS 0 μmol/L group(P<0.01). The protective role of Hypoxia NaHS 200 μand 400 μmol/L groups were better than NaHS 100 μmol/L group at 24 h of time poit(P<0.05~0.01). The number of survival cells by hypoxia/reoxygenation increased and the leakage of LDH from reoxygenation cells decreased in hypoxia/reoxygenation NaHS treatment groups as compared with hypoxia/reoxygenation NaHS 0 μmol/L group(P<0.01).Conclusion:NaHS 100 to 400 μmol/L had the protective effects on myocardial cells by hypoxia/reoxygenation injury. NaHS 200 to 400 μmol/L might offer the best protective effects on myocardial cells by hypoxia injury at 24 h.

The Ad-IL-2 and/or Ad-IL-3 were i. p. injected into experimental leukemic mice after high dose chemotherapy. When Ad - LacZ was i. p. injected into leukemic mice, there were leukemic cells in bone marrow, vessal, liver and spleen. After i. p. injection of Ad-IL-2 and/or Ad-IL-3, the leukemia - bearing mice showed significant inhibition of tumor growth. As i.p. injection of Ad-IL-2, the splenic NK, CTL activity increased; as i. p. injection of Ad - IL - 3, the number and cytotoxicity of peritoneal macrophages were significantly higher than that of the control groups. After i. p. injection of Ad - IL - 2 and Ad - IL - 3 at the same time, the anti - leukemia activity was the best. Though there were less leukemic cells in the bone marrow, there were no leukemic cells in the liver and spleen. Our results suggested that i. p. injection of Ad - IL - 2 and Ad - IL - 3 could significantly enhance the anti - leukemia activity of chemotherapy.

Objective To observe the space-time patterns of damaged outer hair cells(OHCs) in rat cochlea at the early stage after exposure to impulse noise. Methods Wistar rats were exposed to 100 emissions of impulse noise (3 seconds interval between each emission) at 154 dB SPL. Four times (10 min, 30 min, 3h and 6h) after the noise exposure, the animals were sacrificed and the organs of Corti were processed for detection of OHC death modes. The apoptotic and necrotic OHCs were distinguished by propidium iodide (PI), a fluorescent probe specifically labeling the nuclear DNA. The specimens were examined under a fluorescence microscope for assessment of OHC damage. Results Nuclear chromatin began to shrink as the chromatin condensed around the nuclear periphery. The peripheral chromatin ring condensed into discrete mass. Chromatin masses appeared to bleb off from the nuclear surface, forming apoptotic bodies at 10 min after the noise exposure. There were a few swollen nuclei appeared 30 min after the noise exposure. Loss of OHC nuclei could be seen 3 h after the noise exposure. The cochlear lesion expanded to contain a large number of missing OHCs and seriously shrunken nuclei at 6 h after the noise exposure. Conclusions The results of the study indicate that death of OHCs takes place extremely rapid after the impulse noise exposure. The apoptosis of OHCs precedes necrosis. OHC apoptosis is a quick process. Most of dead outer hair cells were eliminated 6 h after the noise exposure.

20% . In both groups CH was induced with infusion of 0.01% sodium nitroprusside (NTP) to maintain MAP at 55-65 mm Hg. MAP, HR, CVP cardiac output were continuously monitored. Arterial blood samples were taken before (T0 ) and after AHH (T1 ) , 30 min after CH was induced (T2 ) and 30 min after tennination of CH (T3 ) for blood gas analysis and determination of plasma levels of electrolytes and ?2-microglobulin.Results The two groups were comparable with respect to the demographic data including age, body weight and height. In group Ⅰ pH was significantly decreased after AHH and CH (T1-3) compared to the baseline (T0 ) and was significantly lower than that in group Ⅱ . There was no significant difference in plasma K+ , Na+ , Ca2+ , Cl- and BE between the two groups. Plasma?2- MG decreased significantly after AHH (at T1 ) compared to the baseline value before AHH (T0) in group Ⅰ and was significantly lower than that ingroup Ⅱ at T1-3 . Conclusion Glomerular filtration rate decreases during controlled hypotension as shown by increased plasma?2-MG. AHH combined with CH can improve glomerular filtration rate while exerts no significant effects on blood gases and electrolytes.
