2.Roles of SUMOylation and de-SUMOylation in carcinogenesis
Journal of International Oncology 2012;39(6):406-408
SUMO (small ubiquitin-related modifier) is involved in the post-translational modifications of proteins,and this process is referred to as SUMOylation.SUMOylation plays an important role in the regulation of cellular activities such as strengthening the stability of the protein,nucleocytoplasmic transport,DNA repair,DNA replication,mitotic and meiotic chromosome behavior,et al.SUMOylation is a dynamic process and can be reversed by SUMO-specific proteases (SENP).Once the balance between SUMOylation and de-SUMOylation is broken,there will be an aberrant expression of SUMO or SENPs in cells to happen,which may lead to the tumor occturtrence.
3.Selection and assessment of digestive tract reconstruction patterns for gastric cancer
Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2013;(1):25-29
With the improvement of survival outcome by modern surgical treatment,more and more attention has been paid to the postoperative quality of life.As known,the most related factor of postoperative quality of life is the pattern of digestive tract reconstruction.Current evidences indicate that Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy + jejunal pouch has some advantages in total gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy might be most suitable reconstruction in distal gastrectomy.Pylorns-preserving gastrectomy and proximal gastrectomy are only considered in early gastric cancer,i.e.predictive cTlcN0.Pylorus-preserving gastrectomy does not exactly superior to distal gastrectomy.Total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy is superior to proximal gastrectomy with esophagogastrostomy.For unresectable lower tumor with gastric outlet obstruction,gastric cancer Devine exclusion + gastrojejunostomy might be better than simple gastrojejunostomy,while stent placement is safer and suitable for predictively short-term survival,poor performance status or senility patients.However,the current available evidences of reconstruction in gastric cancer surgery is still poor in quality and more high-quality large-scale multi-center randomized controlled trials are required to resolve the controversies.

Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2011;34(11):11-13
Objective To evaluate the effect and safety of transobturator inside-out tension-free urethral suspension (TVT-O) as the surgical treatment on post-operational recurrence of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Methods Eleven women with SUI recurrence who underwent TVT-O were selected in the research. Their incontinence recurred from 1 months to 8 years after the previous surgical treatment.Results The operative time was (28 ±9) min, the bleeding volume was (15 ±5) ml. Postoperative complications: urinary retention in 1 case, vaginal erosion in 1 case. Follow-up was enforced for 6-36months, median time was 16 months. Grouts-Blaivas analogue scale:among the 11 patients, 9 patients were cured, 2 patients were improved. ICI-Q-SF score: preoperative 13-21 ( 15.36 ± 2.34) scores compared to postoperative 0-9 (1.46 ±3.27) scores (t =5.850,P <0.01 ). I-QOL score: preoperative 23.33-36.67(29.85 ± 4.74) scores compared to postoperative 66.67-100.00 (95.15 ± 10.12) scores (t = 17.753,P <0.01 ). PISQ-12 score of 10 patients: preoperative 16-25 (20.10 ± 3.07) scores compared to postoperative 11-20( 14.00 ± 2.83 ) scores (t = 11.600, P < 0.01 ). Conclusion If conservative treatments fail, TVT-O is highly effective and safe for the postoperative recurrent SUI.
5.Effects of oxidized HDL on the levels of MCP-1, ICAM-1 and free calcium in cultured human umbilical venous endothelial cells
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 2001;17(6):559-562
AIM: To study the effects of oxidized high-density lipoprotein (oxHDL) on the expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) and intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) level in cultured human umbilical venous endothelial cells(HUVECs). METHODS: The MCP-1 protein content in the medium of conditioned HUVEC was measured by ELISA, and the ICAM-1 on HUVECs was detected by indirect immunofluorescence, and [Ca2+]i was determined by Fluo-3/AM, the injury of cells was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).RESULTS: oxHDL could induce the expression of MCP-1 and ICAM-1 in HUVECs. In oxHDL group (HUVECs were incubated with 100 mg protein/L oxHDL for 24 h), the levels of MCP-1, ICAM-1 and [Ca2+]i increased by 160%, 60% and 70% respectively compared with the control group (P<0.01). When HUVECs were incubated with 300 mg protein/L oxHDL for 24 h, cells were injured obviously. CONCLUSION: By inducing the expression of ICAM-1 and MCP-1 in endothelial cells, oxHDL may promote monocyte-endothelium adhesion and monocyte migration to intima, it may promote atherosclerosis as oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL).

8.Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell transplantation for liver cirrhosis: a repeated measurement analysis
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;19(19):3027-3031
BACKGROUND:The research for mesenchymal stem cels in the treatment of liver cirrhosis has made great progress. However,t-test analysis is often misused in clinical practice. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the efficacy and safety of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cel therapy for liver cirrhosis by repeated measurement method. METHODS: A total of 27 patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis underwent conventional medical treatments, including liver protection treatment and symptomatic treatment. At 1 week after hospitalization, patients were given intravenous transplantation of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels (passages 2-4), cel viability≥ 90%, stem cel counting≥ 2×107 cels, four times with an interval of 5-7 days. Analysis of variance based on repeated measurement data was performed to analyze the liver function changes at different time after umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cel transplantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The results of univariate repeated measurement showed that at 2 and 3 months after treatment, the serum albumin level was increased and the total bilirubin level in serum was decreased significantly (P < 0.05); at 3 months after treatment, the content of aspartate aminotransferase decreased, and the content of cholinesterase increased significantly (P < 0.05). No patient appeared to have liver and other organ tumors during the observation period. These findings indicate that umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cel transplantation is effective and safe in the treatment of liver cirrhosis, which can significantly improve patient's liver functions.
