1.Peripheral benzodiazepine receptors and cerebral ischemia
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2009;17(4):305-308
1he increased peripheral benzodiazepine receptors are more significant than normal ones after cerebral ischemia. Its main reactions are the multiple pathological changes,including microglial activation, participating in neuroinflammation response, and regulation of mitochondrial function. Using radionuclide-laheled specific ligands of the peripheral benzodiaz-epine receptor (such as PK11195) for in vivo imaging contribute to the location and quantitative detection for brain injury and the study of the pathophysiological changes after cerebral ischemi-a. In addition, this receptor is promising to become a new target of neuroprotective treatment.This article reviews the recent progress in research on peripheral benzodiazepine receptors and cerebral ischemia.
2.Research progress of radiation pneumonitis
Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(11):849-852
Radiation pneumonitis (RP) is one of the most common toxicities in patients with lung cancer treated by radiotherapy,which limits the delivered dose and may thus hampers tumor control,then lowers the patients,life quality.Based on the progress of molecular biology,RP may be regarded as a continuous progression of events induced by various cytokines involving numerous cells.Researches on gene polymorphisms indicate different mechanisms in the pathogenesis of RP among different races.Besides,more studies focus on the predictive value of dosimetric parameters such as V20、mean lung dose(MLD) and biological markers such as transforming growth factor-β ( TGF-β1 ).Decreasing use of drugs which may exacerbate RP and increasing use of modern treatments may be beneficial in the prevention.Meanwhile as the respect of drug prevention,more and more emphases are being placed on the target molecule of radiation-induced injury.

8.Re-differentiating therapy of radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer
China Oncology 2016;(1):35-42
Clinical management of radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (RR-DTC) is extremely diffcult. Re-differentiation compounds, such as retinoids, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonists, DNA methyltransferase inhibitors and histone deacetylase inhibitors, have been used in trials to increase iodine uptake in RR-DTC. However, data on these drugs failed to meet the initial high expectations. In recent years, targeted agents have been increasingly used in pre-clinical and clinical studies to induce re-differentiation and mediate131I therapy, and the outcomes are encouraging.
