1.The role of neurokinin B and its receptor in hypothalamic-pituitary-gonad axis
International Journal of Pediatrics 2013;(3):220-222
Kisspoptin signaling plays an essential role in the onset of puberty and reproductive development.Recently studies implicate that steroid-responsive NKB,kisspeptin,NK3 R,and estrogen receptor α (ERα) coexpress in arcuate nucleus of hypothalamus of variety of mammalian species and regulate the secretion of gonadotrophic hormone.The function of neurons in the hypothalamus is to regulate the estrogen negative feedback on gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion.Loss of function of neurokinin B (NKB) or its receptor,the neurokinin-3 receptor produces idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.These studies demonstrate NKB and neurokinin-3 receptor as the essential elements of the human reproductive axis.

3.Anti-tumor research targeting IAPs
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2016;32(5):612-615
Apoptosis inhibitors ( inhibitor of apoptosis proteins, IAPs) are a class of highly conserved apoptotic endogenous anti-cytokine family, primarily by inhibiting caspase activity and par-ticipation in regulation of nuclear factor NF-κB inhibition of ap-optosis. caspases cascade of protease activation is a central part of the apoptotic process, Bcl-2 family proteins and IAPs family proteins are the main controlling factors. In recent years, we found that abnormal expression of some IAPs members is closely associated with the tumor, a potential target for cancer therapy. Therefore, this paper reviews the major protein associated with IAPs family and anti-tumor research targeting IAPs.

Methods Fifty-seven patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer aged 70 years and over were enrolled.Their survival time were analyzed with SPSS 13.0 by taking account of gender, age, smoking history,alcohol history, pancreatic disease history, diabetes mellitus history, Eastern Collaborative Oncology Group (ECOG) scoring, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, CEA and CA199 levels. Results Gender,ECOG scoring, chemotherapy and radiotherapy had relationship with overall survival. The median survival time was 8.9 months and one-year survival rate was 28.1%. The median survival was (10.7±5.4) months in male group and (5.5±2.3) months in female group (P=0.000). The median survival was(10.1±5.8) months in patients with ECOG 0~1 group and(7.3±3.8)months in patients with ECOG 2 group (P=0.040). The median survival was(7.76±5.27) months in nochemotherapy group and(11.5±5.0)months in chemotherapy group (P=0.038). The median survival was(8.87±5.36)months in no radiotherapy group and (13.7±3.8) months in radiotherapy group (P=0.048). Conclusions The patients who have better ECOG performance status and receive chemotherapy or radiotherapy show better survival.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of Baizhu Shengjiang Decoction combined with Prucalopride Succinate Tablets for chronic functional constipation. Methods Sixty patients with chronic functional constipation were randomly divided into treatment group and control group, 30 cases in each group. The treatment group was treated with Baizhu Shengjiang Decoction combined with Prucalopride Succinate Tablets orally, and the control group was treated with oral administration of Prucalopride Succinate Tablets alone. The therapeutic effects on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptoms and constipation, and the follow-up therapeutic effect of the two groups were evaluated after treatment. During the three months after the completion of treatment course, the recurrence of constipation was monitored. Results (1) The cure rate of the treatment group was 90.0% and that of the control group was 60.0%, indicating that the therapeutic effect on TCM symptoms in the treatment group was stronger than that of the control group(P < 0.05).(2) In respect of the relief of constipation, the markedly effective rate was 93.3% in the treatment group and was 50.0% in the control group, and the overall effective rate was 100.0% in the treatment group and was 73.3% in the control group, the difference being significant between the two groups(P<0.05 or P<0.01).(3) During the treatment, the percentage of patients with weekly completely spontaneous defecation frequency ≥3 was 86.7% in the treatment group, and was 53.3% in the control group, the difference being significant (P < 0.05). (4) The results of 3-month follow-up after the completion of treatment course showed that one case from the treatment group had the recurrence of constipation, and the recurred cases from the control group were 6, the difference being significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Oral use of Baizhu Shengjiang Decoction combined with Prucalopride Succinate Tablets exerts certain therapeutic effect for chronic functional constipation, which is effective both on relieving constipation symptoms and on reducing recurrence rate.
