Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2001;10(3):182-183
Objective To explore the effect of the psychological intervention on the treatment of dental anxiety (DA).Methods Measured with Corah's dental anxiety scale , 316DA patients were selected from department of dentistry and were divided into two groups: the intervention group and the control group . The psychological intervention as well as regular dental therapeutics were applied to the patients in the intervention group , whereas only regular dental therapeutics were used to those in the control group.Results The patients had a lower clinical dental anxiety in the intervention group , significantly different from that of the control group ( P< 0.01). After the treatment , more patients in the intervention group had a slower pulse than those in the control group and fewer had a faster pulse .The results also showed that the psychological intervention had a better curative effect on male patients than female ( P<0.05). Conclusion The psychological intervention was efficient to patients with dental anxiety.
2.Advances in the study of regulation of stem cell differentiation by surface properties of biomaterials.
Chinese Journal of Burns 2014;30(4):349-352
The differentiation of stem cells into target cells in a particular region is an important prerequisite for the organ construction and tissue engineering. The processes are multi-directionally regulated by the surface properties of biomaterials, and among them the influences of mechanical rigidity and surface morphology of biomaterials on morphological characteristics, focal adhesion assemblies, and cytoskeletal structure of cells are considered to be the most important factors in regulating the differentiation of stem cells into specific cell lineages. This review summarizes the progresses on this topic in the past few years, which may provide a reference to the design of the biomaterials in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering.

Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2014;(5):349-353
Multiple chromosomal aberrations, nucleotide substitutions, and epigenetic modifications may occur in human cancer cells, which drive malignant transformation. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project aims to promote large-scale multi-dimensional analysis of these molecular characteristics in human cancer and rapidly provide data to researchers. In this study, we introduce four flow paths of the production of TCGA data, the collections of various cancer types, the data category and level, and the standardized pipeline of data analysis, as well as several existing data analytical tools. We used ovarian cancer as an example to introduce the application of the TCGA data in the analyses of mutation, copy number, analysis, and expression. We summarized the important findings of glioblasto-ma by TCGA teams.

7.Research progress of fractional exhaled nitric oxide in infants with wheezing
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2015;30(22):1751-1753
In recent years, the morbidity rate of pediatric asthma showed a rising trend.The typical symptom of recurrent wheezing(> 3 times/year) in infants is the starting point for the diagnosis of asthma in children and may be the early clinical manifestation of asthma.Chronic airway inflammation, which inducing airway hyperresponsiveness is the main pathophysiology of recurrent episodes of wheezing.Monitoring of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is a simple, fast, effective, and noninvasive marker of airway inflammation in asthma.The concentration of nitric oxide can effectively reflect the airway inflammation and is positively correlated with the severity of airway inflammation.Monitoring airway inflammation is helpful to diagnose and treat the asthmatic children, and for predicting asthma exacerbation, guiding and monitoring the asthma.Thus, this review will discuss FeNO measurements among wheezing infants and asthmatic that have been identified in large-scale studies recently.
8.Regulation of telomerase activity and gene therapy for cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(1):17-20
The hTERT gene promoter is a tumor-specific promoter, regulated by a number of factors.Modulation of the chromatin structure via DNA methylation or histone acetylation plays an important role in regulating the hTERT promoter. Recent study also found that glycogen synthase kinase -3 cytokines, macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor 1, bone inducing factor -7, transcription factors c-myc inhibitor, transforming growth factor β, cyclopentenone prostaglandin regulate the activity of hTERT through various pathways. Telomelysin, the telomerase-specific replication competent oncolytic adenovirus, has been used in clinical settings.Various gene therapies based on hTERT are current under-way.
9.On the evaluation and improvement of the amount-based restriction of negotiation in private when resolving medical disputes
Chinese Journal of Health Policy 2015;(9):45-52
The amount-based restriction of negotiation in private when resolving medical disputes is quite com-mon in much local legislation.This kind of provision is legitimate in general, because the rights and interests it pro-tects overweigh those it limits, and the measures it takes are proper.However, there are several flaws.Firstly, as a provision which impairs the rights of citizen, the level of legislation and legal effect need to be upgraded.Secondly, the set of the amount of limitation is arbitrary.Thirdly, differential treatment of public and non-public medical insti-tution in the provision cannot be justified;it actually shows confliction between different government functions.Last-ly, blindly limitation of negotiation in private has neglect something important, that is the self-government functions behind autonomous disputes settlement mechanism.Based on these flaws, several improvement suggestions are pro-vided.
