1.Progress in effect of connective tissue growth factor in vascular smooth muscle cell's proliferation,migration and deposition of extracellular matrix
International Journal of Pediatrics 2010;37(2):152-154
Congenital heart disease often lost the opportunity of radical sureryfor secondary pulmonary hypertension.pulmonary hypertension is pathologicallycharacterizzed by pulmonary vascular remodeling,including the vascular smooth musclecell' s proliferation,migration and extracelluar matrix deposition,Recently,someresearchers have found that connective tissue growth factor can bind with somesurface receptors of vascular smooth muscle cells,causing some biological behaviorchanges such as proliferation,migration and extracellular matrix abnormaldeposition,and activating crresponding gene expression through this signaltransduction pathway.Pulmonary vascular remodeling may be one of the molecularpathogenesis in pulmonary hypertension.
2.Clinical study on early enteral nutrition and parenteral mutrition after total gastrectomy in elder of gastric cancer patients
Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2006;0(14):-
Objective To study feasibility and effects of early enteral nutrition(EEN) after total gastrectomy in elderly patients of gastric cancer. Methods Sixty-six cases of gastric cancer underwent total gastrectomy were divided into two groups randomly. One group was treated with EEN, another with parenteral nutrition(PN). Results The difference of nutritional status and incidence of posteroprative complications between EEN and PN group had no statistical significance, but the EEN group had earlier recovery of intestinal function and shorter hospital stay when compared with PN group. Conclusions EEN is an effective way of postoperative nutritional support in elderly patients of gastric cancer, which is safe, reliable, simple and clinically valuable.

Chinese Journal of Anesthesiology 2012;(10):1189-1191
Objective To compare the effects of sevoflurane versus propofol on a tourniquet-induced lower extremity ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in patients undergoing orthopedic operation.Methods Fifty-four ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 18-64 yr,weighing 44-85 kg,scheduled for elective orthopedic operation,were randomly assigned into 3 groups (n =18 each)∶ control group (group C),propofol group (group P) and sevoflurane group (group S).After lumbar plexus-sciatic nerve block,the laryngeal mask airway insertion was facilitated with propofol 2-4 mg/kg and anesthesia was maintained with infusion of propofol at 2-4 mg· kg-1 · h-1 during operation in group P.In group S,8 % sevoflurane was inhaled,the laryngeal mask airway was inserted and anesthesia was maintained with inhalation of 2% sevoflurane during operation.A tourniquet was applied and inflated (300 mm Hg)during 15-20 min after administration of propofol or sevoflurane in groups P and S,and a tourniquet was also applied at the same time point in group C.The tourniquet was released at the end of operation.Postoperative analgesia was performed with oral meloxicam or intramuscular pethidine and VAS score was maintained < 3.Blood samples were taken after admission to the operating room (T1) and 30 min after tourniquet release (T2) to determine the plasma concentrations of MDA and TNF-α.The changing rate of MDA and TNF-α concentrations was calculated.The tourniquet-related adverse events and amount of analgesics consumed within 24 h after operation were recorded.Results No tourniquet-related adverse events occurred in all the patients.Compared with group C,the plasma concentrations of MDA and TNF-α and changing rate were significantly decreased at T2 in groups P and S (P < 0.05).There were no significant differences in the plasma concentrations of MDA and TNF-α and changing rate between group S and group P (P > 0.05).Compared with the baseline value at T1,no significant change was found in the plasma concentrations of MDA and TNF-α at T2 in groups P and S (P > 0.05),and the plasma concentrations of MDA and TNF-α were significantly increased at T2 in group C (P < 0.05).There was no significant difference in the amount of analgesics consumed within 24 h after operation between the three groups (P > 0.05).Conclusion Both sevoflurane and propofol can reduce a tourniquet-induced lower extremity I/R injury in patients undergoing orthopedic operation and the efficacy is comparable.

Objective To study the effects of lentiviral vector of microRNA targeting IGF1R gene on growth of liver cancer cells.Methods The complementary DNA containing both sense and antisense Oligo DNA of the targeting sequence was designed,synthesized and cloned into the pPRIME vector,named pPRIME-IGFIR-miR30-shRNA.The viruses were propagated on 293T cells.Viruses were purified by CsCI gradient according to standard techniques,and functional PFU titers were determined by plaque assay on 293 cells.The effect of pPRIME-IGFIR-miR30-shRNA on IGFIR expression of Hep3B、SMMC7721 cells was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot.The antitumor potential of PRIME-IGFIR-miR30-shRNA to Hep3B、SMMC7721 cells was evaluated by CCK-8 assay and Tunel.Results PRIME-IGFIR-miR30-shRNA was constructed successfully.Functional PFU titers of pPRIME-IGFIR-miR30-shRNA were 4.58?109PFU/ml.PRIME-IGFIR-miR30-shRNA inhibited IGFIR expression and the proliferation of Hep3B、SMMC7721 cells.Conclusions PRIME-IGFIR-miR30-shRNA expressing IGFIR-siRNA can inhibit IGFIR expression and may be used for further investigation of gene therapy of liver cancer.

Objective To explore the protective effect of Zhenbao pill on acute spinal cord injury of rat and its possible mechanisms.Methods 64 Wistar rats were randomly divided into a injury group and a drug group, with 32 rats in each group, A T10 acute incomplete spinal cord injury model was produced by using modified Allen technique in the two groups,Zhenbao pill mixed suspension of 0.6 g/kg was given by gavage method daily in the drug group 30 min after moding, the same amount of saline was given in the injury group. Behavior detection were conducted in the first day, third day, and the seventh day after modeling to each 8 rats of the two groups. Spinal cord specimens was got centered about the damage points after rats were executed. histopathological changes were observed under HE staining, the MDA content were determined by thiobarbituric acid spectrophotometer and the apoptotic cells were marked by TUNEL method.Results After 1, 3, 7 d, compared with the injury group, the MDA level in the rat spinal cord tissue in the drug group (15.12 ± 1.27 nmol/mgvs.19.71 ± 1.29 nmol/mg, 20.42 ± 1.33 nmol/mgvs.24.65 ±1.36 nmol/mg, 10.46±1.49 nmol/mg vs.15.46 ± 1.44 nmol/mg) decreased(P<0.05); the apoptosis rate of drug groups (19.61% ± 1.49%vs.26.61% ±1.52%, 21.49% ± 1.37% vs.32.37% ± 1.24%, 13.04% ± 1.30%vs.18.35% ± 1.27%)decreased (P<0.05); the BBB score of drug groups (6.52 ± 1.27vs. 2.63 ± 1.27), (12.68 ± 1.32 vs.6.17 ± 1.34), (15.47 ± 1.27 vs.11.57 ± 1.29) was higher than the injury group (P<0.05). Conclusion Zhenbao pill can significantly improve the histopathological examination,reduce the MDA content in the injured spinal cord specimen of the rat and the rate of neuronal apoptosis, which may promote recovery of neurologic function in the rat suffered from ASCI.
