1.Progress on chromosome 22q11 deletion syndrome
International Journal of Pediatrics 2010;37(3):237-240
Chromosome 22qll deletion syndrome(22q11DS) is a common chromosomal microdeletion syndrome. Its clinical manifestation is complex, comprising congenital heart disease, dysmorphic facial, immunodeficiency, endocrine dysfunction and so on. The syndrome has a population prevalence of approximately 1/2500-1/4000. There have been many recent advances in understanding of the clinical manifestation, behavior and psychiatric problems and the mechanisms leading to the specific phenotypic features in chromosome 22q11 deletion syndrome. Asymmetric recombination of homologous low copy repetitives in the deletion region causes the deletion of 22q11. TBX1 is the dominant gene contributing to the phenotype.
2.Progress and prospect of immune checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma
Chinese Journal of Hepatic Surgery(Electronic Edition) 2024;13(1):5-10
The immune microenvironment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is mainly composed of tumor-associated macrophages, myeloid-derived suppressor cells and other cellular components, as well as extracellular components, such as cytokines, growth factors and extracellular matrix, etc. In China, most liver cancer patients are complicated with chronic hepatitis B and cirrhosis. Immune microenvironment promotes the incidence and progression of HCC, immune escape and treatment resistance, and exerts immunosuppressive effect. In recent years, significant progress has been made in immunotherapy for systemic treatment of HCC, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). However, in the KEYNOTE-240 and CheckMate 459 trials, anti-PD-1 therapy with nivolumab or pembrolizumab as a single drug failed to reach the expected overall survival endpoint. At present, it is urgent to deepen the understanding of immune microenvironment of HCC and explore novel therapies to improve clinical efficacy of ICIs. Currently, the combination of ICIs with other therapies (such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies or local therapy) has been proven to improve the efficiency of single ICIs. In this article, research progress in immune microenvironment, immunotherapy and immune combined with targeted therapy for HCC was reviewed.
3.Effects of gel gatifloxacin versus levofloxacin in treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis
Journal of Shanghai Jiaotong University(Medical Science) 2006;0(08):-
Objective To assess the clinical effectiveness and safety of gatifloxacin gel to bacterial conjunctivitis. Methods Double-blind and random selection were designed for the study,with levofloxacin gel as the control medicine.Thirty-six eyes of the experimental group and 36 of the control group were eligible for evaluation.Each eye received the gel one drop a time and three times per day.The gels were applied to the conjunctiva sac for 7 d. Results The clinic effectiveness of experimental group and control group were 88.89% and 91.67%,which indicated no significant difference.Microbial eradication rates were 90.48% and 93.75%,no significant difference either.Safety composite scores were similar between groups. Conclusion Gatifloxacin ophthalmic gel is safe and effective for treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis,and contains certain clinical value.

8.Perioperative nursing of 20 newborn with branchial cysts
Chinese Journal of Nursing 2009;44(8):711-712
This paper introduces the perioperative nursing of 20 cases of branchial cysts in newborn with cyst extraction. The nursing care focused on body position,respiratory care,diet management and wound care,which alleviated the patients' dyspnea,prevented respiratory aspiration and promoted wound healing. All the 20 newborn recovered well without recurrence in the four years after the operation.
9.The role of plasma placental isoferritin in pathogenesis of preeclampsia and its predictive value for preeclampsia
Chinese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology 2001;36(4):209-211
Objective To investigate the effect of placental isoferritin in pathogenesis of preeclampsia and its predictive value. Methods A prospective double-blinded study was performed. There were 120 initial normal pregnant women at earlier third trimester (from 24 to 34 weeks) in this study. Their plasma placental isoferritin and nitric oxide (NO) metabolites (nitrite/nitrate) (NO2-/NO3-) were examined by enzyme linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA) and Griess assay respectively. The outcomes of pregnancies were followed up. Results In 120 initial normal pregnant women, 19 pregnant women occurred preeclampsia (preeclampsia group), and 101 cases were normal (normal group) at follow up. The levels of plasma placental isoferritin (PLF) were significantly decreased in preeclampsia group (285.31±53.73 mg/L) than that of normal group (699.05±203.03) mg/L, P<0.01. The levels of plasma NO were significantly increased in preeclampsia group (54.57±32.71 μmol/L) than that of normal group (38.89±30.00) μmol/L, P<0.05. The significant negative correlation between the plasma placental isoferritin and NO levels was observed(r=0.329,P<0.01). At the cut point of 400 mg/L PLF level, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and Kappa index of PLF level predicting on the outcomes of pregnancy with preeclampsia were 100%, 85.15%, 55.88%, 100%, 0.645. Conclusions The decrease of plasma placental isoferritin levels is associated with preeclampsia, and the endothelial cell damage may be one of its mechanism. The PLF may be an earlier predictor of preeclampsia at 24~34 gestational weeks.

China Pharmacy 2007;0(33):-
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the chemical components of the essential oil from Cnidium monnieri from Anhui versus Henan by GC-MS.METHODS:The essential oil was extracted from Cnidium monnieri by steam distillation;the chemical components of the essential oil were detected by GC-MS;the relative contents of the chemical components were computed using area normalization method.Peaks were separated by capillary GC-MS and their corresponding compounds were identified.RESULTS:36 chief components from Cnidium monnieri from Anhui and 45 from that from Henan were identified.28 components were noted in both.There was great difference between the two Cnidium monnieri.CONCLUSION:This study serves as a scientific basis for the further exploitation and utilization of Cnidium monnieri.
