1.Tendinopathy enthesiopathy in athletes
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2007;11(23):4658-4660
BACKGROUND: Enthesiopathy, one of the three tough problems in sports medicine is a frequent disease in athletes;treatments to enthesiopathy determine the performance record and sports span of athletes in a big extent.DATA SOURCES: The relevant articles from 1990 to 2006 were searched for in NCBI Entrez PubMed by input the key words "enthesiopathy" and "tendinopathy" in English into a computer. Similarly, the relevant articles in Chinese from 1994 to 2006 were searched for in CNKI and Wangfang Data.STUDY SELECTION: Articles about preclinical and clinical research of enthesiopathy in athlete, the excluded articles were those about repetitive studies.DATA EXTRACTION: A total of 20 relevant literatures were collected, including 16 included articles and 4 excluded articles due to repetitive study.DATA SYNTHESIS: ① The main structure of ten-insertion which is very multiplicity contains 4 different tissues, the main function of it is to transmit and absorb shocks. ② So far it is not very clear about the etiopathogenisis and pathological change of enthesiopathy; It is considered that enthesiopathy actually is the result of decompensation in the ten-insertion and degeneration of collagen fiber and cartilaginous is the main pathological change; ③ Nonoperative therapy can abate the clinical symptom, but the curative effect is not affirmative.CONCLUSION: So far it is very clear about the anatomic structure of ten-insertion, but it is not very clear about the etiopathogenisis and pathological change of enthesiopathy and the relationship between enthesiopathy and apoptosis.Scientific and reliable therapies are scarce, strict design and random research of the existing therapies to enthesiopathy are very necessary; for importance, research and exploratory in other therapies including gene therapy and cell factor therapy is a very hopeful direction of the treatment in enthesiopathy.

Nucleic acid aptamer is an oligonucleotide generated by the systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX)process from oligonucleotide library.Nucleic acid aptamer can bind to various targets with high specificity and can recognize or inhibit the biological activity of targeting molecular. Glioma-specific aptamers are developed by either targeting the glioma cells or known biomarkers,which can be coupled with nanoparticles,drugs or molecular probes,and can be applied in the imaging,targeted therapy and drug delivery of glioma.
5. Mammography mass detection system based on deep learning in diagnosis of breast masses
Chinese Journal of Medical Imaging Technology 2019;35(12):1794-1798
Objective: To observe the value of a mammogram mass detection system based on deep learning (DL) in diagnosis of breast masses. Methods: Data of 298 females who underwent mammography examination were retrospectively analyzed. The reference standards of mass detection were established by three senior radiologists. The lesion detection rate and detection stability of two radiologists with working time less than 5 years were compared and analyzed without (physician 1 and physician 2) or with artificial intelligence (AI) (physician 1+AI and physician 2+AI).Results: The lesion detection rate of physician 1+AI and physician 2+AI were all higher than that of physician 1 and physician 2 (both P<0.05). The detection rate of physician+AI was not affected by American college of radiology (ACR) breast density, breast imaging reporting and data system (BI-RADS), mass shape and mass density, etc (all P>0.05). Conclusion: The mammogram mass detection system based on DL can effectively improve mass detection rate of junior radiologists, and enhance the robustness of detection rate of different type masses.
