4.Research prowess on tumour gene therapy within telomerase
Cancer Research and Clinic 2008;20(10):713-715
Telomerase, as a factor of tumour's happening and development, is a kind of cell element not existing or with low activity in normal cells. Moreover, the activity of telomerase is a common channel for cell's immortalization and deterioration, and is also the main factor in cloning tumour and developing malignant turnour. Therefore, the tumour gene therapy focusing on telomerase has become the new target of present study of tumor.This therapy has greater prospects on clinical application than the past tumour gene therapy simply directing at one cancer gene.

Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2017;21(7):1131-1136
BACKGROUND: Spine has a variety of morphological structures and complicated adjacent location, so the surgery to treat spinal abnormality is a difficult. Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology can transform 3D digital model into physical model, which has been widely used in the field of medicine, even popularized gradually in spine surgery. OBJECTIVE: To summarize the application and status of 3D printing technology in spine surgery, and to make aprospect. METHODS: The first author retrieved CNKI, Baidu Xueshu, Google Scholar, WanFang and PubMed databases for the articles published from 2010 to 2016 using the keywords of 3D printing technology, spine surgery, navigation template,spine physical model, pedicle screw, individualized implants, clinical teaching in Chinese and English, respectively.Finally 29 eligible literatures were enrolled for further analysis in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: 3D printing technology has been extensively applied in spine surgery, and shows rapid development in preoperative diagnosis, intraoperative navigation, communication, teaching, graft production, implant customization, bone tissue engineering and other aspects. With the development of society, and medical imaging, 3D printing technology will be more promising in the field of medicine, especially in spine surgery
6.Risk Factors and Resistance Study of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia
Chinese Journal of Nosocomiology 1994;0(04):-
OBJECTIVE To analyze the risk factors and antimicrobial resistance pattern of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolated from 6 hospitals in Beijing,and study the difference in resistance rate of isolates from different hospitals. METHODS In this study,145 cases with S.maltophilia infection were analyzed and their susceptibility was tested.The synergetic screening test was applied to detect metallo-?-lactamases. RESULTS Most of 145 strains were isolated from sputum(86.2%),mainly from ICU(48.3%),and department of respiratory medicine(22.1%).The drug sensitivity tests in vitro showed these strains were resistant to commonly used antibiotics,and drugs whose sensitive rate was over 50% included doxycycline,gatifloxacin,cefoperazone-sulbactam,levofloxacin,compound sulfamethoxazole,ceftazidime-clavulanate and ticarcillin-clavulanate.The antimicrobial resistance of strains isolated from different wards showed some difference.Of all the infected patients,56.7% had underlying diseases;92.2%were treated previously with broad-spectum antibiotics;76.8% underwent invasive examination or treatment. CONCLUSIONS S.maltophilia is resistant to many kinds of antibiotics.The infection caused by S.maltophilia often occurs in patients with severe underlying disease and low immunity.Antibiotics should by chosen by drug sensitivity tests.

Chinese Traditional Patent Medicine 1992;0(04):-
AIM: To extract Zanthoxylum oil from the seeds of Zanthoxylum bungeanum Maxin, and find out a better extraction method and its optimized operating conditions. METHODS: Zanthoxylum oil was extracted by distillation method, solvent extraction and supercritical fluid extraction, respectively. The products gained in each experiment was analyzed by GC after it had been methyl esterified. RESULTS: The yield of Zanthoxylum oil extracted by distillation, solvent extraction and supercritical fluid extraction was 0.88 %, 13.73 % and 13.52 %, respectively, and its content of unsaturated fatty acid 4.50 %, 65.97 %, 74.97 %, respectively. CONCLUSION: Supercritical fluid extraction was the better of the three mehtods, whose optimized operating conditions consisted of 30 MPa pressure, 50 ?C operating temperature and 5 h extraction time.
9.Human telomerase reverse transcriptase gene-transfected effects on biological characteristics of Schwann cells
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;(14):2250-2254
BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that genetical y modified Schwann cel s can survive for a longer time in vivo, and promote nerve regeneration and functional recovery. OBJECTIVE:To transfect human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene into rat Schwann cel s cultured in vitro via PLXSN vector, and to detect the telomerase activity and biological characteristics of Schwann cel s. METHODS:Schwann cel s from Wistar rats were cultured in vitro and transfected by PLXSN vector with (hTERT group) or without hTERT (empty vector group). Normal Schwann cel s were selected as control group. RT-PCR and western blot methods were used to detect the hTERT protein and mRNA levels in Schwann cel s, and flow cytometry was used to measure the cel cycle distribution. Cel growth was observed by cel growth curve and MTT colorimetric method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 48 hours after transfection, the mRNA and protein expressions of hTERT were remarkably seen in Schwann cel s. Compared with the control and empty vector groups, the cel s grew faster, the number of cel s at G 0/G 1 Schwann cel s cultured in vitro. phase was reduced, but the number of S phase cel s was increased in the hTERT group (P<0.05). These findings indicate that PLXSN vector-mediated hTERT transfection of Schwann cel s can significantly improve the activity of telomerase in Schwann cel s as wel as promote the proliferation of Schwann cells cultured in vitro.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of the green tortoise exploring point technique for treating piriformis syndrome. Methods: Ninety patients were randomly allocated to a green tortoise exploring point treatment group of 30 cases, an acupuncture control group of 30 cases and a hydro-acupuncture control group of 30 cases for clinical observation. Results: The symptoms improved after treatment in all the three groups. The total efficacy rate was 100.0% in the treatment group, 76.7% in the acupuncture group and 83.3% in the hydro-acupuncture group. There were statistically significant differences between the three groups (P<0.01, P<0.05). Conclusion: The technique of green tortoise exploring point is better than conventional acupuncture and hydro-acupuncture in treating piriformis injury syndrome
