1.DNA methylation in pancreatic carcinogenesis
Cancer Research and Clinic 2013;(2):133-135
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most malignant gastrointestinal tumors,characterized by a poor prognosis,absence of specific clinical symptoms and signs,prone to metastases and lack of response to conventional therapy.1 year survival rate of this disease increased to about 20 % by gemcitabine,but the morbidity and mortality rates are still higher and higher in the whole worldwide.DNA methylation is one of the mechanisms of epigenetics which is the study of heritable changes in gene expression that are not coded in the DNA sequence itself.It seems that DNA methylation indeed plays an important role in the development and progression of pancreatic cancer.
2.Progress of indicators in the diagnosis of neonatal sepsis
International Journal of Pediatrics 2013;(2):148-151
Newborns,especially premature newborns,because of immature of immune function,have high incidence of sepsis.Today sepsis is still an important cause of neonatal death and poor prognosis.Unfortunately,clinical signs of sepsis are non-specific,so early diagnosis and treatment of the newborn infant with suspected sepsis are essential to prevent severe complications.Blood culture is the gold standard for diagnosis of sepsis,but the positive rote is low.Indicators in diagnosis of sepsis included acute phase reaction proteins,cytokines,cell surface antigen and bacterial DNA testing.This article compares and analyzes the indicators in diagnosis of neonatal sepsis.
3.A randomized, controlled, multi-centre clinical study on the efficacy of flupenthixol melitracen in the treatment of patients with functional dyspepsia accompanied by depression
Chinese Journal of Digestion 2013;33(7):446-450
Objective To explore the efficacy of flupenthixol melitracen in the treatment of functional dyspepsia (FD) and its effects on receptivity expansion and visceral sensitivity.Methods A randomized,controlled,multi-centre study was carried out.The FD patients with depression were divided into anti-depression group and control group.The patients of both groups received omeprazole and mosapride treatment for eight weeks.The patients of anti-depression group added flupenthixol melitracen and psychotherapy.Before the treatment,by the end of the second,fourth,sixth and eighth week of the treatment,the scores of upper gastrointestinal symptoms and adverse effects of the patients of the two groups were recorded,the psychological status was evaluated by Hamilton depression scale and the gastric receptivity expansion and visceral sensitivity were assessed by water loading test (WLT).The data were analyzed by t test and chi-square test.Results Among two hundred and fifty enrolled FD patients with depression,245 patients (129 in anti-depression group,116 in control group) were enrolled in intention-to treat analysis.Before the treatment and by the end of the eighth week of the treatment,the scores of upper gastrointestinal symptoms of anti depression group were 12.23±4.45 and 2.31±2.13 (t=22.837,P=0.008),the control group were 12.29± 4.62 and 8.58±3.76 (t=6.708,P=0.184).By the end of the eighth week of treatment,the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t =16.261,P<0.05).By the end of the fourth and eighth week of treatment,the total effective rates of the improvement of upper gastrointestinal symptoms of anti-depression group were 76.0% (98/129) and 83.7% (108/129),control group were 14.7 % (17/116) and 25.9 % (30/116),the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (x2 =92.191 and 83.117,both P<0.05).By the end of the eighth week of treatment,the total effective rate of the improvement of depression of anti depression group was 71.3% (92/129),which was higher than that of control group (23.3%,27/116),the difference between two groups was statistically significant (x2 54.434,P<0.01).Before the treatment,the maximum WLT volume of anti depression group was (850±130) mL,by the end of the eighth week of treatment was (1400±210) mL (t=25.292,P<0.01).Before the treatment and by the end of the eighth week of treatment,the maximum WLT volumes of control group were (800± 120) mL and (960±140) mL (t=9.345,P<0.01).All the adverse effects of anti depression therapy were mild.Conclusion The treatment of flupenthixol melitracen can improve the efficacy in patients with FD,relieve the depression status,improve gastric receptivity expansion and visceral sensitivity with a good safety and tolerability.
4.Roles of connexin in breast cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2014;41(4):273-276
The previous studies identify connexin as a tumor suppressor gene,which inhibits the occurrence and development of breast cancer.However,some researches of resent years demonstrate that the expression level of connexin in a large part of metastatic breast cancer is elevated and connexin may promote breast cancer metastasis.Therefore,connexin may play different roles by different mechanisms in the occurrence,development,invasion and metastasis of breast cancer.Rational use of connexin in breast cancer treatment can be beneficial to breast cancer patients.

Chinese Journal of Infection Control 2014;(4):218-221
Objective To realize the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of measles,and explore effective measures to control measles epidemic.Methods Clinical data of 554 hospitalized measles children between January 2009 and December 2013 were analyzed retrospectively.Results All children had fever,cough,and skin rash,507 (91.52% )had typical clinical manifestations of measles,47(8.48% )had mild manifestations;the major population were children aged≤6 months(n= 176,31.77% )and 7-8 months (n= 346,62.45% );132 (23.83% )children had contact history of confirmed measles,19(3.43% )measles children’s mothers also developed measles (all were cases of 2013),227 (40.97% )children had history of repeated infusion or hospitalization in large medical institutes dur-ing the measles incubation period (all were cases of 2013,there were measles children who had infusion or hospitali-zation in the same hospital during the same period). The peak incidence of measles usually occurs in January-May. Conclusion Intensive immunization of measles for young women of reproductive age and vaccination with“pre-mea-sles vaccine”for early infancy,and strengthening the medical management of fever outpatients are important meas-ures to prevent measles epidemic.
6.The causes and countermeasures of non-response to anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy
Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases 2016;32(4):444-448
The therapeutic response of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) differs among individuals.According to the changes of central retinal thickness,intraretinal fluid,subretinal fluid,best corrected visual acuity and other morphological or functional manifestations after treatment,the performance of the treated eyes can be classified as optimal response,poor response and non-response.A variety of factors could account for poor or non-response to anti-VEGF,such as genomic polymorphism and specific genomic risk alleles,lesion characteristics,vitreous and macular structural abnormalities,resistance to anti-VEGF drug,and the role of pericytes and others.The common counter measures include increasing the dosage,shortening the injection interval and replacing with another alternative drug,inhibition of pericytes,relieving vitreomacular anatomical abnormalities.It is still worthy of further exploration that how to assess individual reasons for non-response,so that we can give proper treatment to reduce the excessive use of anti-VEGF drugs and improve the clinical management of ocular neovascularization diseases.
7.Research advances in molecular prediction of recurrence and metastasis of primary liver cancer after liver transplan-tation
Journal of Clinical Hepatology 2014;30(12):1361-1365
Liver transplantation is an essential treatment of primary liver cancer,but the postoperative high risk of recurrence and metastasis has seriously affected the effect of liver transplantation.With the development of molecular biology,researchers have found numerous molec-ular markers potentially related to the recurrence and metastasis of liver cancer after liver transplantation.These markers,including genes, proteins,tumor markers,and serum viruses,are summarized,and their predictive values for tumor recurrence and metastasis after liver transplantation are analyzed.A growing number of molecular markers have been found,but which is not enough for clinical guidance.There-fore,more studies are needed to identify appropriate molecular markers of tumor recurrence and metastasis after liver transplantation.
