1.The study of quantitative evaluation of hypoxia of the patients with pulmonary heart disease
Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2011;27(2):62-64
Objective To find a grading method for assisting in evaluating hypoxia degree of patients with pulmonary heart disease non-invasively. Methods To design a quantitative method to score degree of hypoxia of 67 patients with pulmonary heart disease by using acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) as a frame and to make comparative analysis between the grading result and artery blood gas to find the correlation. Results There was a negative correlation between evaluation mark and pH、PaO2、SaO2 and a positive correlation between the evaluation mark and PaCO2, according to statistics. Conclusions Although the grading table of hypoxia evaluation can not substitute blood gas analysis, acting as a non-invasive method to assist in evaluating the hypoxia degree of patients with pulmonary heart disease, it can not only relieve patients' repeated punctuation pain, but also achieve the goal of estimating hypoxia.Consequently the non-invasive method to evaluate hypoxia is of clinical value.

Clinical Medicine of China 2015;31(8):742-746
Objective To discuss the predictable factors for the occurrence of intra-operative aneurysm rupture(IAR).Methods A total of 84 patients with 101 aneurysms treated by neurosurgical clipping from September 2009 to September 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.The statistic analysis was performed for the risk factors of IAR such as aneurysm location,aneurysm sac,dome/neck ratio,direction,pre-operative Hunt-Hess Scale,history of hypertension and operation time.Results Eighteen cases (21.4%) occurred LAR (18 (17.8%) of aneurysms) during the operations,2 patients (2.4%) died.Statistic analysis revealed that preoperative Hunt-Hess scale (P =0.042),history of hypertension (P =0.038),aneurysm sac (P =0.012),dome/neck ratio(P=0.027),direction (P =0.010) and operation time (P =0.002) were the predictable factors for the occurrence of IAR,while the location of aneurysm was not included (P =0.199).Conclusion The IAR may be the result of the synthesis of various factors in the occurrence of intracranial aneurysms clipping.Hypertension history,Hunt-Hess scale,direction,aneurysm sac,operation time and dome/neck ratio 1.78-2.89 are the predictable factors for the occurrence of IAR and the combination of various factors leads to the occurrence of IAR.
7.Non-traditional antiarrhythmic medicines for atrial fibrillation
Journal of China Pharmaceutical University 2010;41(1):86-90
Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia in clinical practice.However,the therapeutic effects of traditional antiarrhythmic medicines are far from satisfactory,because of the high rate of arrhythmia recurrence and the potential proarrhythmia effect.Recently,with the further investigation of the mechanisms that initiate and perpetuate atrial fibrillation,and the support of extensive data from clinical trials and animal experiments,thera-peutics based on anti-inflammation,antioxidation,regulation on renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system(RAAS)and gap junction may be new therapeutic targets for the treatment of arrhythmia.In this paper,the potential molecular mechanisms involved in these processes and several clinical trials about some non-traditional antiarrhythmic medi-cines were reviewed,in order to propose a new idea about the development of antiarrhythmic medicines.

10.Targeted therapies in the treatment of gastric cancer
China Oncology 1998;0(01):-
Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignancies in the digestive system.Most of the patients with gastric cancer have advanced disease at the time of diagnosis.Chemotherapy is still the mainstay of treatment for advanced gastric cancer,but efficacy of chemotherapy was modest.Molecular targeted therapies have emerged as a novel approach to the treatment of both hematological and solid tumors in recent years.The understanding of molecular biological mechanisms underlying the formation,progression and metastasis in advanced gastric cancer has enabled us to use the new approach to treat this disease in clinical practice.These therapeutic strategies include targeting EGFR signal transduction pathway,anti-angiogenesis,targeting NF-?B signal transduction pathway and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors.In this review,a brief introduction of the current status of the molecular targeted therapies in the treatment of gastric cancer was presented.Bevacizumab,anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody targeting the angiogenesis pathway has been approved for the treatment of colorectal cancer by FDA,has been reported to show effectiveness in metastatic gastric cancer when combined with cytotoxic agents.Inhibition of NF-?B signal transduction pathway such as PS-341(proteasome inhibitor,bortezomib) approved for the treatment of refractory or recurrent multiple myeloma by FDA has also been used to combine with chemotherapy for gastric cancer.There are also encouraging reports on the combination of standard chemotherapy with Cetuximab,Matuzumab,Gefitinib,Erlotinib and Trastuzumab which target the EGFR and HER2 signal transduction pathways.Flavopiridol is a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor with low molecullar weight that aims at the regulatory process of the cell cycle but this needs further clinical trial.
