Chitosan, deacetylated derivative of chitin, is a kind of natural polysaccharide polymer. It has advantages of rich source, good biocompatibility and biodegradation. Chitosan can be processed into porous scaffolds used for cell transplantation and tissue regeneration in bone tissue engineering, control-released carrier of growth factors and delivery vector of exogenous genes. Meanwhile, it can also be processed into injectable scaffolds used in bone tissue engineering in the form of microspheres or hydrogel. Chitosan and its derivatives will have broad application prospects in the research field of bone tissue engineering. However, chitosan composite scaffold has poor mechanical function, difficult accuracy control of In vivo degradation, and low efficiency for genetic carrier, chitosan research stays in in vitro tests and in vivo animal experiments. With the development of materials science and life science, chitosan will be widely used for clinical application of bone tissue defect.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between polymorphisms of serine hydroxymethyltransferase1 gene and the adverse reactions of high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Methods:A total of 51 patients with ALL were treated with HD-MTX, and clinical manifestations after HD-MTX treatment were evaluated retrospectively. cD-NA was obtained from mRNA. The polymorphisms of SHMT1 gene containing rs1979277, rs3783, rs1979276, and rs12952556 sites were tested by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and direct sequencing. Effects of SHMT1 gene polymorphisms on HD-MTX ad-verse reactions were evaluated. Results:Severe adverse reactions in ALL patients treated with HD-MTX appeared to be mainly neutro-penia and hepatoadverse reactions. The frequency distributions of rs3783 (C>G), rs1979276 (C>T), rs12952556 (A>G), and rs1979277 (C>T) were the same. The polymorphisms of rs1979277 showed no correlation with neutropenia (P>0.05) but rs1979277 CT and TT genotypes were correlated with hepatoadverse reactions (CT: OR=0.129, 95% CI: 0.020 to 0.817, P=0.03; TT: OR=0.103, 95% CI:0.017 to 0.620, P=0.013). Conclusion: No correlation was found between the combination of rs1979277, rs3783, rs1979276, rs12952556, and neutropenia, but one or more of these loci may reduce the risk of hepatoadverse reactions.

Objective To explore the application of adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASIR)scanning technique in low dose pediatric cervical CT, especially in reducing the radiation dose for thyroid. Methods We retrospectivly analyzed 140 pediatric cervical CT. 70 cases of group A scaned with ASIR technology and preseting noise index 12 HU in Discovery CT 750 HD (GE Healthcare), and 70 cases of group B scaned with filtered back projection (FBP) technology and preseting noise index 14 HU in VCT 64 (64 Lightspeed VCT, GE Healthcare). The other scan parameters were same in 2 groups. The distribution characteristics of gender and age were completely consistent between groups. The minimum current, the maximum current, the current of thyroid on CT images and CT dose volume index (CTDIvol), scanning length and dose length product (DLP) on dose reports were all recorded for each child. The noise values of CT images were measured. 4 scores standard was used to evaluate the subjective image quality. The data were analyzed with SPSS 13, Kappa method for the test of consistency and t test for the differences of the measured data. Excel was used for mapping. Results The minimum current, the maximum current, the average current, the current for thyroid of the two groups were respectively (26.8 ± 4.2), (43.2 ± 15.4)mA;(35.8±9.6),(41.8±13.6)mA;(34.6±8.6), (41.0±13.2)mA;(36.8±12.3), (44.7±21.0)mA. The CTDIvol, DLP and the scanning length of the two groups were respectively(1.3 ± 0.3), (1.8 ± 0.6)mGy;(29.0 ± 8.3), (40.3 ± 15.6) mGy·cm and(157.5±20.2), (157.6±21.8)cm. The average current, the thyroid current, CTDI and DLP in group A were 15.8%, 17.9%, 27.3%and 28.4%lower than those in group B (t=-5.50—-0.02, P<0.01). The subjective image quality scores of the two doctors were respectively 3.4 ± 0.9, 3.3 ± 1.0, they were highly consistent (Kappa=0.834, P<0.01). The objective image noise of cancellous bone and neck muscles were respectively (32.5 ± 5.3),(32.9 ± 5.1)HU and (9.2 ± 2.3), (9.1 ± 2.0)HU, there were not statistically difference between the two groups (t=-0.47—0.24, P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with FBP, low dose pediatric cervical CT with 30%ASIR could provide dose reduction for thyroid and the whole neck while maintaining diagnostically acceptable images .
10.Analysis on the discourse right of TCM in the international spread of Chinese medicine culture
International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2020;42(9):839-841
With the impact of Western medicine, the discourse power of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has gradually fallen into a decline. In recent years, China has lunched many Strategic Planning Papers related to the development of TCM, which have provided strong legal protection and government support for its development, and gradually strengthened the discourse power of TCM. However, at present, to strengthen the discourse power of TCM in the international spread of Chinese medicine culture is facing difficulties like difficult to understand TCM language, incomplete legal status, unsystematic transmission, lack of cross-cultural talents. In the process of spreading TCM, cultural confidence is the inner force, and intellectual property right could display China’s power, builing national brands is the strategy, the modernization of communication is the important part, and the internationalization of talents could provide intelligence support. We should seize the golden opportunity brought to the Chinese medicine industry in the background of the national macro-policy, up-grading the discourse power of TCM culture in the global medical system.
