1.Mechanisms of photoreceptor cell death and potential treatment strategies in retinal detachment
Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2016;34(12):1140-1144
Retinal detachment (RD) is one of the most common sight-threatening retinal diseases.Visual acuity is not always restored after successful reattachment of the retina.Photoreceptor cell death has been thought to be the major cause of vision loss after RD through various pathways and their interactions,including caspase-dependent apoptosis,endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis and non-apoptotic death forms,such as necroptosis,autophagy,and so on.Based on the understanding of the mechanism of photoreceptor cell death after RD,current efforts on combinatorial inhibition of multiple death pathways,targeting upstream molecules and enhancement of intrinsic neuroprotection would help us to protect photoreceptors effectively and improve visual acuity of RD patients.This review summarized current opinions on mechanisms of photoreceptor cell death and the potential treatment strategies.
2. Comparative Analysis on the Research Progress of Rare Diseases in Domestic and Abroad
Chinese Pharmaceutical Journal 2017;52(6):506-512
OBJECTIVE: To study and collate the literature on rare diseases in domestic and abroad, and comparative analysis, provide a scientific basis for the domestic rare diseases research. METHODS: Retrieved the Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure from January 2011 to June 2016 published literature about rare diseases. RESULTS: Through the screening of literature, finally determine the 200 articles for analysis. It is divided into seven research directions: rare diseases policy research, rare diseases legal and regulatory research, rare diseases medical social security study, orphan drugs availability research, orphan drugs economic evaluation study, orphan drug development research, rare diseases defined standard research. CONCLUSION: Rare diseases policy research is the focus of research both domestic and abroad. Compared with foreign countries, the domestic research on the availability and economic evaluation of orphan drug is less, especially the economic evaluation research is almost blank. It is suggested that the researchers study the multiple aspects of rare diseases and drugs, and to provide the basis and reference for build rare disease policy in China. In addition to the field of rare diseases research, rare diseases drugs face many difficulties in pharmaceutical research, production and supply. The precondition to solve these problems is the nation formulate specific policies and regulations for rare diseases, and then clear the official definition standards of rare diseases, establish relevant policies to encourage pharmaceutical companies to develop rare diseases drugs.

4.Clinic experience in treating dermatic pruritus by eliminating wind
China Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Pharmacy 2005;0(12):-
Pruritus is the main symptom ofdermatosis.This article analyzes the dermatic pruritus induced by wind pathogen, and introduces the determination oftreatment for dermatic pruritus based on syndrome differentiation with eliminating wind
5.Attention resource allocation deficits in patients with nonfluent aphasia in Chinese character processing
Chinese Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation 2010;32(10):754-758
Objective To determine whether attention allocation deficits contribute to nonfluent aphasia during orthography, phonology, and semantic processing with Chinese characters. Methods Sixteen patients and sixteen controls participated in single and dual tasks. In the single task participants were required to read Chinese characters silently and to make radical, semantic, and final sound judgments (for example, whether the charactersincluded the sound 'ang' ) simultaneously. During the dual task the only difference was that the participants wereasked to read the presented characters aloud and make the same three judgments. Reaction time and error rate were recorded and analysed. Results Reaction times in orthographic judgment were significantly longer for patients than for controls in both task setups. The error rate was also significantly higher. The patients' reaction times in makingphonological judgments in the dual task were significantly longer than in the single task, but there was no significantdifference in error rates between the patients and the controls. In making semantic judgments, neither reaction times nor error rates differed significantly with either the single or dual task protocol. Conclusion Attention allocation deficits play a key role in Chinese character orthographic and phonological processing for nonfluent aphasia sufferers.
6.An experimental study on protective effects of flunarizine in retinal ischemic injury
Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2001;19(1):23-25
ObjectiveTo observe the protective effects of flunarizine(FZN) in retinal ischemic injury.MethodsFor the experimental group and the treated group in ischemic reperfusion different stages, the contents of lipid peroxide metabolim malondialdehyde (MDA) in rabbites’ retinal tissues were detected by using TBA.ResultsThe contents of MDA in the experimental and treated groups at 30 min,60 min and 90 min of reperfusion increased remarkably compared with that of the normal control group(P<0.01).The contents of MDA in the treated group at 30 min,60 min and 90 min of reperfusion were much lower than that of MDA in the experimental group at 30 min,60 min and 90 min of reperfusion respectively(P<0.01).ConclusionIntracellular calcium overload may be involved in pathophysiologic process of retinal ischemic injury.Flunarizine has the protective effects in retinal ischemic injury.
7.In vitro culture and purification of Schwann cells
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2009;13(46):9138-9142
Schwann cells are the seed cells of tissue engineedng in the regeneration of peripheral nerve.so whether we can harvest enough Schwann cells of high purity is very important in the tissue engineering.Culture and purification technology of Schwann cells has been improved day by day.The classical cultural methods include tissue-clump cultural method and enzyme digestion cultural method.On the basis of the classical cultural methods,someone uses new technologies to delete fibroblasts,such as addition of cytosine arabinoside,addition of antimitogenic agents.The latest purified methods include magnetic activated-cells separation,co-culture with three-dimensional scaffolds and laminin-coated wells purified method.The aim of the skills above is to provide enough Schwann cells for the tissue engineering repeir of degenerated peripheral nerves.There are many ways of Schwann cells culture and purification.and we have made a primary progress,but it still needs further studies before the entire achievemenL such as long cycle,low activity in cultured calls,and the instable biological characteristics during passage culture,etc.
8.Research in application of modified venipuncture method in clinic and emergency infusion room
Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2009;25(12):9-10
Objective To discuss the effect of modified venipuncture method on success rate of vcnipuncture, in order to alleviate the suffering of patients with emergency transfusion. Methods 380 cases of transfusion patients were randomly divided into the routine group and the modified group, rou-tine and modified venipuncture methods were applied to each group respectively. The success rate and pain response of each group were compared between the two groups by χ2 test. Results The success rate of venipuncture of the modified group was 93.50%, which was significantly higher than that of the routine group, and the rate of pain of the modified group was lighter than that of the routine group. Conclusions The modified venipuncture method can alleviate pain of patients, improve work efficien-cy and was worthy of clinical nursing application.
9.MMP-9, HIF-1 and SIRT1 in acute lung injury: a review
Chinese Journal of Emergency Medicine 2016;25(3):384-388
Matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP-9) is a group of enzymes that belong to the zine-metalloproteinases family involved in the pathophysiological process of various diseases,such as inflammation,angiogenesis and tumor invasion.Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is a nucleoprotein with transcription activity,which consists of two different subunits,α and β.It plays an important role in the process of the formation of new blood vessels following ischemic necrosis and the process of hypoxia induced cell apoptosis.Silent information regulator2-related enzymes 1 (SIRT1) is a NAD-dependent deacetylase sirtuin,which belongs to a member of the sirtuin family of proteins,also involved in many pathophysiologic processes,such as aging,cell death and tumorigenesis.This study aims to review the role of MMP-9,HIF-1 and SIRT1 in acute lung injury.
