1.Research Progress in TCM Non-medicine Therapies for Depression Syndrome
Chinese Journal of Information on Traditional Chinese Medicine 2016;23(10):127-131
Depression in modern medicine belongs to the depression syndrome in TCM. As early as the pre-Qin period, the ancient doctors recognized depression syndrome as a kind of disease associated with the function of visceral organs or emotional stimulation, which showed mood disorders and a variety of physical symptoms. The doctors in the past dynasties had explored different kinds of non-medicine therapies except for general medicine therapies, such as acupuncture and moxibustion, tuina, music and emotional therapy etc., which had obtained definite therapeutic effects. This article reviewed the non-medicine therapies for depression syndrome in ancient literatures and modern clinical researches, in order to provide some references for the treatment of depression.

[Summary] Extracellular calcium is essential for the regulation of a variety of biological processes. Calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) plays a central role in maintaining Ca2+ homeostasis, while G-protein α-11 (Gα11 ) subunit and adaptor-related protein complex 2 sigma (AP2σ) are also involved in CaSR signaling transduction. Loss- or gain-of-function mutations of these encoding genes cause different types of familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia (FHH) and autosomal dominant hypocalcaemia (ADH). Calcimimetic and calcilytic drugs are useful in treating these FHH and ADH disorders. The current paper is a Chinese translation of a review entitled as “Disorder of the calcium-sensing receptor and partner proteins: insights into the molecular basis of calcium homeostasis” published in 《 Journal of Molecular Endocrinology》(2016,57:R127-R142) with the permission from the author and the journal.

Background and purpose:Lung cancer is the leading cause of morbidity and cancer-related mortality worldwide. A variety of driver genes were detected in lung cancer. Studies have shown that different gene mutations of lung cancer were found between different races. Most of Uyghurs live in Xinjiang, accompanied by a high morbidity of lung cancer. This study aimed to investigate the expression of driver genes in Uyghur patients with lung cancer in Xinjiang, China.Methods:This study collected the tissue specimens of 43 Uyghur patients with lung cancer, with a very different method to detectEGFR gene expression. real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RTFQ-PCR) was used to detectK-ras,ALK,ROS1, mutatedBRAF andPIK3CA gene expression. Analysis of the correlation between lung cancer gene mutations in Uyghur and clinical features of patients with lung cancer were performed.Results:Among 43 cases of specimens,EGFR mutation rate was 11.63%, while theEGFR gene mutation rates in adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma were 26.67% and 4.76%, respectively.EGFR gene mutation was not detected in large cell carcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma and small cell lung cancer.EGFR gene mutation rate in patients with adenocarcinoma (26.67%) was signiifcantly higher than that in other types of lung cancer (3.57%). The difference was statistically signiifcant (P=0.024). There were 6 patients withK-ras12/13 heterozygous mutation, and the mutation detection rate was 16.28% (6/43). There were 2 patients withPIK3CA heterozygous mutation, and the mu-tation detection rate was 4.65% (2/43).EGFR andK-ras mutations occurred simultaneously in 1 case. No relationship was found betweenEGFR mutations and age, gender, smoking status, TNM staging, ECOG score among Uyghur lung cancer patients. This study did not ifnd mutation inALK,ROS1 fusion gene andBRAF gene among the 43 specimens. Conclusion:Compared with Asian populations, Xinjiang Uyghur patients with lung cancer have a lower rate ofEGFR mutations and a higher rate ofK-ras mutations, which is similar to the characteristics of European Caucasians.

Objective To explore the feasibility of the ultrasonic atomization surface anesthesia with lido-caine for awake fiberoptic endotracheal intubation in patientsˊautonomous position -display before general anesthesia and to evaluate its advantages.Methods 68 adult patients who needed prone position for elective surgery under general anesthesia were selected and randomly divided into two groups,the control group and the treatment group,each group in 34 cases.In control group patients were received surface anesthesia of cricothyroid membrane puncture.In treatment group,nebulized 2% lidocaine with ultrasonic nebulizer was used for topical anesthesia.Patients lied in the prone position according to their own comfort with the guide of the medical staff in the waking state after an awake fiberoptic endotracheal intubation.The statistics of mean arterial pressure (MAP)and heart rate (HR)were recorded respectively in the basal state(T0),in the time instantly after intubations(T1 ),in the 3 minute after intubations(T2 ) and in the time instantly after the body turning(T3 ).Choking cough response were recorded during endotracheal intubation.Patients were asked the efficacy of surface anesthesia and the tolerance for awake intubation after operation.Results Patients in both two groups completed the whole process smoothly.MAP and HR had no signifi-cant differences between the two groups in the same time point (all P >0.05).There were no statistical significance between the two groups in choking cough response,the time of surface anesthesia and intubation,neither (all P >0.05).Conclusion The surface anesthesia with lidocaine by continuous ultrasonic atomizing inhalation is a good and simple method deserving generalization with plenty merits and is practicable for patients to display position autonomously. This method have the advantages of small operation,it will and can replace cricothyroid membrane puncture.

Objective:To clone chickens MxA gene, construct its recombinant expression plasmid and induce the expression of fusion protein using a prokaryotic expression system.Methods:The MxA gene fragment was amplified by RT-PCR from CEF cells and subcloned into the pMD18-T vector, filtrated the positive clone and reclaimed the MxA.Subcloned the MxA into the prokaryotic expression plasmid pGEX-6p-1. After recombinant plasmid was induced by IPTG, the expressed proteins were analyzed by SDS-PAGE, the NDV intervence experiment and VSV-CEF restrain experiment.Results:The sequence of MxA gene amplified by RT-PCR was the same as the sequence in gene map of Genebank; SDS-PAGE, the NDV intervence experiment and VSV-CEF restrain experiment showed that a protein was expressed, the molecular weight of this protein was 45 000, which was the same as the fusion protein GST-MxA.Conclusion:The MxA is cloned and its recombinant expression plasmid is constructed successfully.The fusion protein GST-MxA is successfully expressed in the prokaryotic expression system E.coli DH5? induced by IPTG. This research lay a foundation for further studying on ints antiviral effects and exploring new way of antiviral medication.
