1.Factors Associated with Treatment Failure of Helicobacter pylori Eradication
Chinese Journal of Gastroenterology 2015;(7):385-388
Helicobacter pylori(Hp)infection is associated with many kinds of upper gastrointestinal diseases,and is also associated with some extragastric diseases. Hp eradication can cure peptic ulcer or reduce the risk of recurrence, inhibit the development of chronic atrophic gastritis,and decrease the risk of gastric carcinoma. Antibiotic resistance is the main cause of treatment failure of Hp eradication. Other factors,such as host,environment,co-existing diseases,and treatment regimens may also affect the results of Hp eradication.
2.Assessment of the ability of the new software SonoAVC to measure follicular volume
Chinese Journal of Ultrasonography 2009;18(9):780-782
Objective To assess the ability of the new software SonoAVC to measure follicular volume and to compare these volume calculations with those made by conventional methods. Methods Three-dimensional ultrasound imaging was used to acquire volumetric data from the ovaries of 50 women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation as part of in-vitro fertilization treatment. SonoAVC was used to automatically measure the volume of follicles and virtual organ computer-aided analysis(VOCAL) was also applied to measure volume, which was used as the standard of volume measurement. And the three perpendicular diameters (xyz diameters) of follicles were manually measured by conventional two-dimensional(2D) ultrasound, which were used to estimate volume using the sphere formula. And the validity of each technique was compared using limits of agreement. Results One hundred and seventy-six follicles were studied. SonoAVC and VOCAL provided highly accurate and repeatable follicular volume measurements in all cases. Volumes estimated from manually derived follicular diameter measurements were less accurate and repeatable. VOCAL took more time in follicular volume of measurement than SonoAVC and conventional 2D displays. Conclusions SonoAVC provides highly accurate, repeatable,and efficient measurements of follicular volume.

10.IL-24 expression at maternal-fetal interface and its roles in trophoblast invasion.
Journal of Huazhong University of Science and Technology (Medical Sciences) 2008;28(4):456-9
In this study, the expression of IL-24 at maternal-fetal interface and the roles in extravillous trophoblast (the TEV-1 cell line) invasion were examined. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of IL-24 in villi and decidual tissue. The proliferation of TEV-1 cells under the effect of IL-24 was measured by MTT assay. The invasiveness of TEV-1 cells under the effect of recombinant IL-24 (rhIL-24) was examined by transwell system. Immunohistochemical detection showed that IL-24 was expressed in the villi and decidual tissue, and distributed in villous column, trophoblasts, stroma and blood vessels. The proliferation of TEV-1 cells was not inhibited by rhIL-24 of various concentrations. The examination of invasion in vitro showed that rhIL-24 could inhibit the invasion of TEV-1 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. The results suggested IL-24 could inhibit the invasion of TEV-1 cells. Therefore, IL-24 produced by maternal-fetal interface in human first trimester pregnancy may influence the invasion of trophoblasts and is involved in normal pregnancy.
