1.Preoperative evaluation and treatment strategies for advanced colorectal cancer
Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2013;(6):409-412
Advanced colorectal cancer mainly classified as locally advanced,locally recurrent and distally metastatic colorectal cancer.Distal metastasis of colorectal cancer includes peritoneal metastasis,liver,lung and other organ metastasis.Surgical resection remains the only possible cure for patients with advanced colorectal cancer.Preoperative systemic evaluation based on radiographic images,especially the evaluation on the resectability of hepatic metastatic lesions from colorectal cancer is very important.Neo-adjuvant and adjuvant therapy increased the resection rate of primary and metastatic lesions of advanced colorectal cancer.In recent 10 years,with the development of oncolegical surgery,treatment modality of multi-disciplinary team has been proposed and implemented,which increased the survival time and improved the life quality of patients with colorectal cancer.
2.MRI tracing of stem cells:theory and application progress
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;(28):4588-4592
BACKGROUND:Continuous monitoring is required in the survival, distribution, migration, proliferation and differentiation of transplanted stem cel s in vivo thereby to assess its efficacy and safety.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the characteristics of literature addressing stem cel markers and MRI tracer in the past 10 years.
METHODS:The first author retrieved CNKI and Web of Science by computer for articles about MRI tracing of stem cel s published from January 2005 to December 2014, using the keywords of“stem cel s, magnetic resonance imaging, tracing technique”that appeared in the title and abstract. Then, the retrieved articles were further analyzed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Currently, tracing technique has been widely used in stem cel therapy, organ transplantation, bacterial infection, gene expression and new drug development. Stem cel tracing technologies include isotope tracing, antigenic labeling, fluorescence protein labeling, fluorescent dye labeling, nuclear magnetic resonance contrast enhancer labeling, Lac-Z gene labeling, Y chromosome labeling. Recently, with the development of molecular imaging, MRI tracing techniques have been increasingly used to assess the efficacy and safety of stem cel transplantation.

Objective To investigate the change in heat shock protein 70(HSP7O) in the brain tissue of fetal and newborn rats after prenatal hypoxic adaptation and the possible mechanism of the protective effect. Methods Twenty-two 22d pregnant Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups: GroupⅠ(hypoxic adaptation group) and group Ⅱ(control group). The animals in group Ⅰ were placed in a tightly closed hypoxic adaptation chamber, of which the oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations were monitored. The pregnant rats were taken out and exposed to fresh air for 5 mm when the 02 % in the chamber was reduced to 15 %, then the pregnant rats were placed back in the chamber and the above process was repeated once. The animals were then left for their natural labor. In control group the pregnant rats underwent the same process but the chamber was not tightly closed(O2 %= 21 %). Prenatal rats were delivered by cesarean section at lb. 3h, 8h, 24h, 48h, 72h, 120h and 168h after hypoxic adaptation and decapitated and brain was removed. Seven newborn rats from each group were decapitated and brain was removed for determination of HSP70 expression with immunohistochimical technique. Results No HSP7O expression was observed in the brain tissue of normal prenatal and newborn rats. HSP70 was observed in the different regions of hippocampus and cortex from 8h to 168h after hypoxic adaptation. Strongest HSP70 expression was observed in hippocampus CAl . Conclusions HSP70 plays a role in the formation of prenatal hypoxic adaptation.

Chinese Pharmaceutical Journal 2012;47(20):1614-1617
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of utilizing three fungi YNAS04, YNAS06 and YNAS08 to induce the formation of agilawood from Aquilaria sinensis in field and laboratory, respectively. METHODS: Agarwood was obtained by inoculating the fungus in the stem of A. sinensis under natural conditions, and the main ingredients of the volatile oil from induced agilawood were analyzed by GC-MS. The authenticity of the used fungi was detected by the method of morphology and ribosomal internal transcribed spacer. RESULTS: The weights of the induced materials from YNAS04, YNAS06 and YNAS08 were (1.786±0.473), (2964±0.492) and (3.615±0.591) g after six months, which were heavier than blank control (1.325±0.407) g and negative control (1.462±0.417) g, respectively. The fungus inoculated in the stem of A. sinensis and became the dominant fungi in the tissue under natural conditions. Sesquterpenoids and chromone analogues were detected from three fungi inducing materials of six months old. CONCLUSION: Utilizing fungi to induce the formation of agilawood from Aquilaria sinensis has the advantages of spending less time and producing high-quality secondary metabolites. This method has important application foreground in large-scale agilawood production.
