1.Relationship between lung function and bone mineral density in nonsmoking healthy women
Chinese Journal of Health Management 2015;(1):65-68
Objective To explore the relationship between lung function and bone mineral density (BMD) in nonsmoking women. Method The healthy women who came to our hospital for physical examination from June 2013 to March 2014 were chosen. Totally 508 cases, average age 49.33±8.66 years , were included through the questionnaire and further examination. The lumbar BMD was measured with dual energy X-ray absorption, the subjects were divided into normal bone mass group, osteopenia group, and osteoporosis group according to the diagnostic criteria of WHO. Through questionnaires, the human body composition analyzer, pulmonary function test apparatus were used to acquire their general information, body mass index (BMI) and pulmonary ventilation function. The data were compared by analysis of variance, Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear stepwise regression analysis were applied to explore the relationship among the pulmonary ventilation function and bone mineral density of lumbar spine and lumbar bone area (BA). Result BMI, forced vital capacity rate of one second (FEV1/FVC) were not significantly different among the three groups (F values were 0.192, 0.296;All P>0.05);the other indicators of pulmonary function including forced vital capacity (FVC),FVC percent predicted (FVC%), forced expiratory volume in first second(FEV1), FEV1 percent predicted(FEV1%),peak expiratory flow rate(PEF)decreased markedly in osteoporosis group compared with normal group and osteopenia group (F=15.313, 5.508, 18.890, 5.440, 6.763;all P<0.05). The lumbar spine BMD and lumbar BA declined significantly in osteoporosis group and osteopenia group comparing with normal group(F=169.053, 205.660, 224.567, 201.086, 276.927, 3.550;all P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that FVC, FVC%, FEV1, FEV1%, PEF were negatively correlated with age (all P<0.01);FVC, FVC%were negatively correlated with BMI (all P<0.05) , FEV1/FVC was positively correlated with BMI P<0.05);FVC was positively correlated with lumbar BMD and lumbar BA (P<0.01). FEV1 were positively correlated with lumbar BMD and lumbar BA(all P<0.01). Multiple regression showed that age, BMI, and lumbar BA were correlated with FVC, FVC%, FEV1, FEV1/FVC(All P<0.01). Conclusion In healthy nonsmoking women, age, BMI, and lumbar BA are the main influencing factors of pulmonary function;except for FEV1/FVC, the other indicators of pulmonary function decreased markedly in osteoporosis group.

Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2014;23(6):378-380
Bruton tyrosine kinase (Btk) is a member of the non-receptor protein tyrosine kinases of Tec family.It plays an important role in growth,proliferation,differentiation and signal transduction of B lymphocyte.After activation of B-cell receptor (BCR) by diverse stimuli,Btk is activated through tyrosine phosphorylation.Activated Btk can stimulate several downstream signaling proteins.Btk and BCR signaling pathways play important roles in initiation and maintenance of B cell malignancies.This review focuses on the recent findings in association of Btk and B cell malignancies.
4.Analysis of risk factors for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in hepatic cirrhosis
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2011;18(16):2182-2183
ObjectiveTo study the risk factors of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis(SBP) in cirrhotic patients with ascites. MethodsThe clinical data of 186 cirrhotic patients with ascities from February 2005 to March 2010 were retrospectively analyzed were divided into two groups,the one with SBP and the other without SBP. The following factors such as sex, Child-Pugh grade were analyzed with binary logistic regression. ResultsAmong those factors ,3 factors were proved to be risk factors for SBP in cirrhotic patients with ascites by analysis of single and multiple variables. Those were Child-Pugh grade score, serum bilirubin level and ascitic fluid albumin. ConclusionSBP in cirrhotic patients with ascites was affected by many factors. The Child-Pugh grade score, serum bilirubin level and ascitic fluid albumin were independently associated with risk factors of SBP, so it was important to pay attention to those factors in preventing the onset of SBP.

OBJECTIVEThis study aims to analyze the long-term stability of the anterior teeth and hard tissue of skeletal class III malocclusion after a three-year orthodontic surgery by systematic review.
METHODSAll studies about skeletal class III malocclusion with orthodontic-surgery were searched by computer-based retrieval and manual retrieval; the deadline is December 2013. The literature, filtered according to the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria, was performed with quality. assessment. The same indicators of the anterior location and hard tissue stability were combined and evaluated with metaanalysis and descriptive analysis by Rev Man5.2.
RESULTSFour before-and-after comparison study articles with 180 cases were included. The grades of the four literature evaluation were A. The meta-analysis results showed that comparing the three-year post-orthodontic-surgery and post-orthodontic-surgery, the total weighted mean difference (WMD) of Ul-SN was 4.29 (P<0.05); the WMD of Ll-MP, OB, OJ, SNA, SNB, ANB, and MP-SN were -1.58, 0, -0.41, -0.58, 0.25, -0.70, and 0.39, respectively (P>0.05). The measurement methods of A and B point position were different, hence the qualitative description were as follows: point A remained at a relatively stable position, and point B had some replacement compared with post-operative (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONTo the skeletal class III malocclusion after three-year orthodontic-surgery, the position of the lower anterior teeth could be kept stable, as well as the overbite and the overjet of the anterior teeth; only the upper inci- sor has a lip-inclined relapse. The maxillary could also be kept stable, and the mandibular had a little relapse.

[Abstract ] Objective The orthodontic-surgery is the most effective way to treat the severe skeletal class Ⅲmalocclusion,but the long-term stability is still disputed .The aim of this systematic review is to analyze the long-term stability of hard tissue of seriously skeletal Class Ⅲ malocclusion patients treated with orthodontic combined surgical treatment . Methods Literature were searched through the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials , Cochrane Library, Medline via pubmed (1950-2014), EMBASE (1980-2014) and other foreign databases , and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database , China National Knowledge Infrastructure Database , VIP Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals , digital journal of Wan fang Data and so on .Unpublished conference papers and gray litera-tures were collected manually .The literatures consist of randomized controlled trials ( RCT) , quasi-randomized controlled trials and clini-cal case-control trial (CCT) were selected.Then meta analysis was performed for annexable literatures and qualitative description was performed for diverged documents . Results Five foreign articles and 1 Chinese article suitable for analysis were ultimately studied . All the studies were CCT and a total of 260 patients were involved in the present systematic review .Meta analysis showed that the SNA , SNB, ANB, MP SN and Y-axis did not change significantly during 3 years after operation (P>0.05) and a good skeletal class I facial types were maintained .The comparison results of MP-SN and Y-axis showed that there was no significant statistical difference and the mandibular plane angle maintained the relative stability .Meta analysis was not performed because of the different measurement methods of A, B, Pg and Ramus inclination , so the qualitative description was used .Point A and Ramus inclination remained relatively stable posi-tion, but point B and Pg had some replace compared with post-operative. Conclusion The orthodontic and surgical treatment for skeletal classⅢmalocclusion could keep the hard tissue relative stabil-ity except a little replace of the mandibular .

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a population of multipotent cells that can proliferate and differentiate into marrow and non-marrow cell types, such as adipocytes, chondrocytes, myocytes, and so on. In recent years, many researchers have studied whether MSCs are capable of differentiation into neurons in vivo and ex vivo. The result that MSCs-derived neurons express NSE and NF, but don't express GFAP suggests MSCs can differentiate into neurons, some researchers have achieved success in promoting functional recovery in Pakinsons and transactional spinal cord injury rat models by use of MSCs-derived neurons. Therefore, MSCs-derived neurons will play an important role in the therapy for a variety of diseases of the nervous system. [
