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.

8.Autoantibodies:the early diagnostic biomarkers for tumors
Journal of Xi'an Jiaotong University(Medical Sciences) 1982;0(04):-
Tumor markers refer to the specific substances that exist in tumor cells themselves or are secreted by tumor cells. They can reflect the existence and growth of the tumor. The serum tumor biomarkers have been widely applied in tumor detection,but the detection of these markers is based on the tumor antigens,and thus has many inadequacies in tumor screening and diagnosis. In this paper,we reviewed autoantibodies as tumor biomarkers against self-antigens in vivo. This method is to examine the tumor autoantibodies by using the tumor antigens,and its specificity and sensitivity are superior to the traditional examination methods. Using autoantibodies to detect tumors would provide a new method for tumor screening and diagnosis.
