1.Research Progress of a Novel Pro-apoptosis Gene PNAS-4 in Gene Therapy and Its Molecular Mechanism Hypotheses.
Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2015;32(6):1380-1384
PNAS-4 is a novel pro-apoptosis gene identified latetly. In recent years, there has been a large number of research reports on the basic studies about PNAS-4 in cancer gene therapy and gene therapy of PNAS-4 alone or combined with chemotherapy or radiotherapy manifested a good application prospect, but its molecular mechanisms to promote apoptosis is not clear yet. In this paper, recent research about PNAS-4 in cancer gene therapy is briefly reviewed, and recent hypotheses on its molecular mechanisms to promote apoptosis are especially elucidated. Based on its newly identified characteristics of structural domain, we made a point that PNAS-4 might regulate functions of some target protein related to apoptosis by deSumoylation as a new deSumoylating isopeptidase, and consequently promote apoptosis.

Journal of Chinese Physician 2014;16(9):1210-1212,1215
Objective To explore the drainage effect of drainage tube with different materials on the basis of a constant nega tive pressure drainage,and its impact on flap survival.Methods The most common clinical used Polyvinyl chloride resin (PVC)pipe,latex tubes,silicone tube drainage tubes,and flaps were compared at different phases of the drainage,to determine the best clinical flap with drainage material.After three groups of flaps were designed,including a constant negative pressure drainage device,without a constant negative pressure drainage system,and drainage alone (no negative pressure) drainage flap,the flap survival was observed at different phase space.Three different drainage drainage ways of the flap and the flap survival area of effect were statistically analyzed.Results The silicone tube drainage was more fully and effectively.Constant negative pressure drainage volume of liquid was up to the flap with drainage to the fullest,the highest rate of skin flap healing,and better healing.Conclusions The constant negative pressure in the drainage of the flap makes drainage more fully,and promotes rapid healing of wounds,while the silicone tube is suitable for flap drainage.
5.The Empirical Research of the Impact of Health Insurance on Consumption for Urban and Rural Households
Chinese Health Economics 2013;(10):5-7
Objective: To explore the effect of health insurance on consumption for rural and urban households. Methods: Using empirical study with the method of quasi-social experiment. Results: Households with health insurance have more consumption than those without health insurance. The higher the coverage of family health insurance improves, the more effects medical insurance would encourage family consumption. Meanwhile, the marginal effect of health insurance on rural households ’ consumption is much bigger than that of urban households. Conclusion: Through enhancing households’ risk tolerance, health insurance reduces households’ precautionary saving motivation and impels to increase the current consumption.
6.The roles of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 in carotid artery atherosclerosis and ischemic stroke
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2010;18(4):282-285
The lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), a subtype of the phospholipase A2 superfamily, is produced primarily by macrophages and lymphocytes. Lp-PLA2specifically hydrolyzes oxidized phospholipids on oxidized low-density lipoprotein particles,resulting in production of lysophosphatidylcholine and oxidized fatty acids. Lp-PLA2 is expressed in atherosclerotic plaques and in macrophages within a fibrous cap of unstable plaque.Studies haw shown that the plasma Lp-PLA2 activity increases significantly in patients with ischemic stroke, and Lp-PLA2 may become an independent risk factor for predicting ischemic cerebrovascular events. The selective Lp-PLA2 inhibitor can reduce the inflammatory response,enhance the stability of plaques, and inhibit the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, and may become a new class of drugs for preventing the formation of atherosclerotic plaques.
7.Clinical observation of sodium hyaluronate application in adherent strabotomy
Recent Advances in Ophthalmology 2001;21(3):174-176
Objective To observe the effects and explore the mechanism of orthopia by using viscoelastic substance (sodium hyaluronate)in adherent strabismus(AS).Methods A total of 29 cases(33 eyes)of AS which were caused by various factors were performed strabotomy,in which sodium hyaluronate was poured into cap tenon space and /or around ocular muscles in which preserved after operation.Ocular movement was requested in 12~24 hours post-operation lest ocular muscles adhered to other tissues again.The main index we observed were the effectiveness of strabotomy and ocular movement.Results All 33 eyes achieved good results:17 eyes(51.5%) were cured,26 eyes(78.8%) obtained distinct improvement(DI). The operative results have reference to the cause of adherent strabismus,period of muscular adherence and visual function post-operation.No complications were found.Conclusion Our observation support that sodium hyaluronate can prevent ocular muscles from re-adhering to other tissues around after strabotomy.Most of the patients can obtain better effects by this viscoelastic therapy.
