1.Application of stereotactic body radiation therapy in early stage non-small-cell lung cancer
Cancer Research and Clinic 2016;28(5):350-353
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has been increasingly used in the treatment of early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Different from conventional radiotherapy,SBRT is characterized by the delivery of high-dose radiation in 1 to 5 fractions with a high degree of precision and steep dose gradients that minimize the dose to normal tissues,and image guidance technology,image fusion technology and respiratory gating system make the therapy more accurate.SBRT delivers higher biological equralent dose (BED) than conventional radiotherapy.The latest small sample data have suggested outcomes for SBRT patients that superior to the success rate of surgery,and the evidence for SBRT over conventional radiotherapy has resulted in a major change in the standard of care for inoperable NSCLC patients.
2.Advances in pathogenic mechanisms of enterovirus 71
International Journal of Pediatrics 2013;(1):68-70
Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is one of the major pathogens that cause hand foot and mouth disease.Epidemics and pandemics have been periodically reported worldwide.EV71 also can cause serous complications and lead death in children.The mechanisms of EV71 cause serious complications has remained unclear,may relate to many factors,including cell tropism,cell death and host immune responses.This article reviews the recent advances in the identification of factors determining EV71 cell tropism,the associated mechanisms of viral infection-induced cell death and the interplay between EV71 and immunity.

4.Acupoints selection based on "disease-symptom-location" combination and acupuncture treatment of pattern/syndrome differentiation.
Chinese Acupuncture & Moxibustion 2016;36(5):456-458
The pattern/symptom differentiation system in acupuncture treatment is lack of the unique characteristics and advantages in theory and clinical practice and it just rigidly adopts the methods of pattern/symptom differentiation of the other disciplines in TCM. In fact, it is necessary to have the unique and more practical theoretic system to guide acupuncture treatment. According to the characteristics of acupuncture in diagnosis and treatment, the acupoints selection based on "disease-symptom-location" combination becomes the law of acupuncture treatment. The acupoints selection based on "disease-symptom-location" combination is the expression to concretize the diagnosis and treatment of disease under the guidance of pattern/syndrome differentiation. Both of them are originated from the general principles of TCM and for the particular disciplines of TCM. The acupoints selection based on "disease-symptom-location" combination benefits the promotion and application of acupuncture.

5.Dose of expression and study of the theory for adverse reactions of cefamandole nafate for injection- Gold Zone Method
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2011;18(5):577-579
Objective Inaccurate dosing is an important cause of medical malpractice, how to adjust the medication dose to overcome the excessive deviation will be discussed in this paper. Methods Gold zone method was proposed on the basis of the probability theory and mathematical statistics for handling inaccurate dosing problems. Investigation and study in large sample size was carried out on adverse reactions of Cefamandole Nafate for Injection by adopting the method. Results The conclusions from the super large sample size test indicate that there is highly significant difference of total adverse reaction rates between taking values within and outside golden zone of dosage, and the adverse reaction rate of taking values within golden zone is significantly lower than that of outside golden zone. It is noteworthy that when dosage was lower than golden zone,the adverse reaction rate was significantly increased,which is more than 4 times of that within golden zone. Conclusion It is effective measures and simply and easy to apply that taking values within golden zone of dosage reduce adverse drug reactions,probability within golden zone less than 1/4 range of experience that contains the actual demand of the body up to 70%.
6.Cyclooxygenase-2 and the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma
International Journal of Surgery 2009;36(1):48-51
Cyclooxygenase (COX) is a crucial enzyme in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins.There are two COX isoforrns:COX-1 and COX-2.Recently it is demonstrated that there is a close relationship of COX-2 with the occurrence,development and metabasis of tumor; COX-2 inhibitor is hoping to be a new target in tumor therapy.The article overviews many progresses of COX-2 about its expression,modulation and mecha-nism of carcinogenesis in cholangiocarcinoma in order to explore the prospect of the COX-2 inhibitors in cholangioearcinoma treatment.
7.Analysis of Correlative Factors on the Ovulation-Failure Induced with Clomiphene for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Journal of Chinese Physician 2001;3(5):344-346
Objective To explore the correlative factors of ovulation-failure induced with clomiphene(CC) in polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS).Methods The relationship between ovulation rate(OR),ovulation cycle rate(OCR) among 178 cases,569 taking medicine cycles and clinical features,endocrine markers were retrospectively analysed.Results OR was 73.0%,OCR was 45.3%,OCR of both the dysfunctional uterine bleeding(DUB) and anovulatory menstruation groups were markedly higher than those of secondary amenorrhea group(P<0.005,0.05),OCR of the DUB group was significantly higher than that in oligomenstruation group too(P<0.05).OR of the nonpilosity and nonobesity groups were markedly higher than that of pilosity and obesity groups respectively(P<0.01,0.005).OCR of the unmarried group was significantly higher than infertility and fertilized groups(P<0.025,0.005).OCR of LH/FSH≥3 and serum testosterone(T) level-normal groups were respectively higher than LH/FSH<3 and serum T level-elevated group(P<0.05~0.025).There was markedly correlation among LH/FSH radio,T level,BMI and OR,OCR,PRL levels and OR(P<0.05~0.01).Conclusions The findings suggest that effect of the ovulation induced with CC in PCOS relate to types of menstruation,pilosity,status of marry-fertility,levels of LH/FSH,T,PRL.
8.Assessment of Left Ventricular Regional Diastolic Function in Different Degrees of Coronary Stenosis by Three-dimensional Speckle Tracking Imaging
Chinese Journal of Medical Imaging 2016;24(1):19-23
Purpose To evaluate the left ventricular regional diastolic function in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients without regional wall motion abnormality by real-time three-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (RT3D-STI) to investigate the value of RT3D-STI in the diagnosis of early CHD. Materials and Methods 140 CHD patients with 420 coronary artery main branches were enrolled and divided into 4 groups according to the results of coronary angiography (CAG): normal group (101 coronary artery branches without stenosis), mild stenosis group (112 coronary artery branches with stenosis<50%), moderate stenosis group (95 coronary artery branches with stenosis 50%-75%) and sever stenosis group (112 coronary artery branches with stenosis>75%). Three dimensional full volume images were collected through the chest, and the corresponding strain imaging diastolic index (SI-DI) of each direction was calculated, their value for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease was analyzed. Results The longitudinal, area and radial SI-DI of mild coronary artery stenosis group were lower than those of normal group (P<0.05);the longitudinal, area, radial and circumferential SI-DI of moderate coronary artery stenosis group were lower than normal group (P<0.05) and the area, longitudinal and circumferential SI-DI were lower than those of the mild stenosis group (P<0.05);the longitudinal, area, radial and circumferential SI-DI were all lower than those of normal and mild stenosis group (P<0.05), and the area, longitudinal and radial SI-DI were all lower than the moderate stenosis group (P<0.05). ROC curve showed that the sensitivity of longitudinal SI-DI (84.0%) was highest, while the specificity of area SI-DI (78.9%) was the highest. Conclusion RT3D-STI has important significance for early detection and diagnosis of CHD, regional diastolic function decrease of the coronary artery supply area occurs earlier than systolic function reduction, and diastolic function is more sensitive for myocardial ischemia, as a result, SI-DI is able to reflect the stenosis degree of coronary artery in a certain extent.
9.The clinical application of nonintubated video assisted thoracic surgery
Chinese Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery 2016;32(8):509-512
Video assisted thoracic surgery(VATS) was rapidly developed in recent years.It's been widely accepted because it was minimally invasive and the patients were fast recovery with a survival rate similar to routine thoracotomy patients.However,more and more attention was paid to the side effect of general anesthesia with double cavity intubation during the surgery.Nonintubated thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer was progressively developed.This surgery method decreases the side effect compared to general anesthesia with double cavity intubation.However,more surgical difficulty,additional surgical risk and prolonged surgery time were all inevitable become disadvantages of this new method.The less side effect of general anesthesia for patients and the more challenge for thoracic surgeon was brought simultaneous by this new method.More clinic trial should be implemented in validating the advantages and disadvantages.
10.Advances of the anti-tumor research of metformin.
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica 2015;50(10):1210-6
Metformin is the most commonly prescibed drug for type 2 diabetes mellitus as it is inexpensive, safe, and efficient in ameliorating hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia. Numerous epidemiological studies indicate that diabetic population is not only at increased risk of cardiovascular complications, but also at substantially higher risk of many forms of malignancies. Meanwhile, epidemiological and clinical observation studies have shown that metformin use reduces risk of cancer in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and improves prognosis and survival rate of the cancer patients. Furthermore, metformin has been used for cancer therapy in clinical trials. Thus, metformin is emerging as a new cancer therapy or adjuvant anticancer drugs. This review summarizes recent progress in studies of metformin use and its molecular mechanism.
