1.Protective effects of α-lipoic acid on oxidative stress in peripheral organs
Chinese Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2010;18(3):187-190
Alpha-lipoic acid is a potent antioxidant.Its protective effects on oxidative stress induced by diabetes and othe factors are mainly achieved via its antioxidant property.Such effects have been observed in cardiovascular system,kidney,and liver.This article reviews the recent advances in the anti-oxidation mechanisms and protective effects of alpha-lipoic acid in peripheral organs.
2.Non-anti-hyperlipemic effects of Monascus-fermented rice and its mechanism: Recent advances
Chinese Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2011;19(1):59-62
Monascus-fermented rice is a natural food and traditional Chinese medicine. Besides its wellknown effectiveness in lowering blood lipids, Monascus-fermented rice is also beneficial for decreasing blood pressure, preventing osteoporosis, and lowering blood sugar. This article reviews recent advances in its non-anti-hyperlipemic effects and their potential mechanisms.
3.Effect of different dose ofsustained-release theophyline on prealbumin, C-reactive protein and white blood cell count in patients with pediatric asthma
Chinese Journal of Biochemical Pharmaceutics 2015;35(10):105-107
Objective To analyse effect of different dose of sustained-release theophyline on prealbumin, C-reactive protein and white blood cell count in patients with pediatric asthma.Methods 58 children with acute asthma attack in our hospital were collected.All children were randomly divided into high dose group and low dose group,29 cases in each group.On the basis of conventional treatment, high dose group were treated with high dose theophylline sustained release tablets 5 mg/kg, one times per eight hours,orally,and low dose group was treated with low dose theophylline sustained release tablets,2 mg/kg, one times per eight hours,orally.Two groups were treatment for two weeks.After the treatment, the serum levels of pre albumin, C-reactive protein and veinal blood level of white blood cell count were detected in all children.Results Compared with high dose group post-treatment, the serum level PA was higher in low dose group (P<0.05);the serum level of CRP was lower in low dose group (P<0.05);the veinal blood level of WBC, percentage of neutrophils and percentage of eosinophils was lower in low dose group (P<0.05) .Conclusion Compared with high dose of sustained-release theophyline,the low dose of sustained-release theophyline can significantly reduce the serum CRP level and veinal blood level of WBC, percentage of neutrophils and percentage of eosinophils, improve serum PA level in patients with pediatric asthma, reduce inflammation in patients.

5.Nutritional Risk Screening and Nutrition Assessment on 109 Case of Diabetes.
Journal of Medical Research 2006;0(02):-
Objective To give nutritional evaluation in diabetic patients.Methods The human body measurements,biochemical tests,NSR2002 of 109 patients with diabetes mellitus were used for nutritional assessment and risk screening,and were analyzed for its clinical application.Results Diabetes prevalence rate of malnutrition assessed by NRS2002 was 17.4%.Low birth weight assessed by BMI was 4.6%.BMI of patients with diabetes and normal nutrition was higher than normal value,and there was a significant difference(P

We compared the results of heating the joint and of applying the Hot-spike and electric stimulus to the YUSEN and SANINKO points to disperse the fluid at the Knee.
The tests with the points resulted in little change in the fluid level at the Knee.
This time we measured the circumference of the Knee. A therapist established the standard measuring method, and tried to make the error decrease.
While they were observing the circumference of the Knee, they would not allow anyother medical treatments or any movement by the patient.

Objective To discuss the effect of the application of anti-reflux venous indwelling needle after gastrointestinal polyps endoscopic resection.Methods 400 cases of patients after gastrointestinal polyps endoscopic resection were selected in our department.200 cases of patients using ordinary venous indwelling needle were set as the control group.In addition,200 cases of patients chose anti-reflux indwelling needles which were produced by a certain medical instrument Co.,Ltd were set as the experimental group.The incidence rate of phlebitis,tube blocking,blood return and indwelling time in the process of using anti-reflux indwelling needle were observed in two groups.Results During the indwelling time of two kinds of indwelling needles,the incidence rates of phlebitis,tube blocking and blood return of anti-reflux indwelling needle in the experimental group were significantly lower than those of the control group.The average indwelling time of the experimental group was 1.2 days,longer than that of the control group.Conclusions Anti-reflux indwelling needle can effectively protect the blood vessels,ensure the patients to use drugs in time,improve the work efficiency of nurses,reduce the damage to patients and effectively reduce the burden of patients.

Objective To investigate the clinical application of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography(MRCP) in diagnosis of obstructive jaundice.Methods Thirty-three patients with obstructive jaundice were examined by MRCP and the accurate rate of MRCP was evaluated according to the result of operation and pathology examination.Results The positive rate of the orientation diagnosis of MRCP in obstruction was 100%(33/33).The accurate rates of qualitative diagnosis for benign disease and malignant obstructive jaundice were 87.5%(21/24) and 90%(9/10) respectively.The general qualitative diagnose accordance rate was 87.9%(29/33).Conclusion MRCP is simple,hurtless and safe for the diagnosis of obstructive jaundice and it deserves generalization in the clinical application.

As a novel testing method in clinic,the technology of genetic testing and its application appear prosperous in many areas,such as genetic diagnosis,therapy,prevention and biological pharmacy,etc.With the application of the genetic testing,some related ethical,legal and social problems also emerged.A preliminary study is conducted on the potential ethical problems that appear in genetic testing,such as individual mental burden,family relationship,public pressures,etc.Relevant ethical principles are also put forward,especially the admission criteria of genetic testing to provide a reference for the application and management of genetic testing in our country.
