1.Research progresses on the pathophysiology of hemorrhoidal diseases
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 2010;26(1):193-196
Various hypotheses have been put forward to explain the pathogenesis of hemorrhoidal diseases. However, the etiology and mechanisms of hemorrhoids are far from clear, and as a consequence the present therapeutic objective is just to relieve or abolish the symptoms of hemorrhoids. In this review, the recent research advances on the pathophysiological characteristics that are closely associated with hemorrhoids are analyzed and discussed, which include constipation, high anal resting pressure, anal mucosa damage, aging of the anal cushion supporting tissue, blood and vessel alterations, obstruction of microcirculation and biochemical changes.
2.Role of estrogen receptor alpha in adipocytes differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells
Journal of Practical Stomatology 2009;25(6):794-797
Objective; To elucidate the mechanism of the role of ER-a in fat metabolism by regulating the expression of ER-a in SD rats marrow mesenchymal stem cells during differentiating into adipocytes in vitro. Methods ;SD rats marrow mesenchymal stem cells were separated and cultivated. The ER-a was transfected into the rBMSCs in group one. Tamoxifen Citrate was used to restrain the expression of ER-a in group two, the group without any treatment was used as control. Western blot was used to identify the difference of ER-a expression among different groups and Oil-Red-0 staining was employed to identify the adipocytes in vitro. Results; There was significant difference between the number of lipids and different groups (P <0. 01) ,the number of lipid droplet changed concomitantly with ER-a: Low-expression ER-a group > Control group > High-expression ER-a group. Conclusion; ER-a in SD rats marrow mesenchymal stem cells may restrain the adipocyte differentiation.
3.Revaluation of the stent in the bile duct
International Journal of Surgery 2012;39(5):328-331
It is a consensus to place stent after cutting bile duct in the hepatobiliary surgery in the past.However,as the development of bile physiological research and surgical technique,especially the raise of medical concepts of rapid recovery,the negative effects which are caused by the placement of stent have been taken seriously gradually.Up to now,whether the stent should be placed after the bile duct is cut has no definite answer yet.
4.Effectiveness and Recurrence Prevention of Esomeprazole at Various Doses in Patients with Reflux Esoph-agitis
China Pharmacist 2014;(9):1526-1528
Objective:To explore the effectiveness and recurrence prevention of esomeprazole at different doses in the patients with reflux esophagitis ( RE) . Methods:Totally 240 patients with RE were divided into mild or severe group with 120 cases in each accord-ing to the illness severity. The two groups were respectively divided into four groups according to the random number table, namely the full dose treatment group, half dose treatment group, intermittent treatment group and on-demand treatment group. The groups were fol-lowed up for 6 months, and GERD-HRQI scores, the recurrence rate and incidence of adverse reactions in all the groups were com-pared. Results:After the 6-month follow-up, the differences in the GERD-HRQI scores, recurrence rate and incidence of adverse re-actions among the groups with different doses were statistically significant (P<0. 05). The GERD-HRQI scores and RE recurrence rate in on-demand treatment group were significantly higher than those in the other groups(P<0. 05), and the incidence of adverse re-actions in the total dose treatment group was significantly higher than that in the other groups (P<0. 05). Conclusion: Intermittent treatment with esomeprazole at small dose can effectively prevent RE recurrence, reduce the incidence of adverse reactions and treat-ment costs, which is worthy of promotion.
5.The effects of acupoint sticking therapy in summer for winter disease on inflammation mediator in patients with chronic bronchitis
International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2014;(17):2289-2290
Objective By measuring the concentrations of serum IL-2,IL-4,IL-8 and TNF-αin chronic bronchitis patients before and after the acupoint sticking therapy which was also called winter disease treated in summer to investigate the effect of therapy on serum concentrations of IL-2,IL-4,IL-8 and TNF-α.Methods 30 cases of patients diagnosed with chronic bronchitis in paracmasia and did not recieve other related treatment were randomly divided into acupoint application therapy group (treatment group)and the control group.The treatment group was giventhree Fuacupoint sticking therapy,the control group was given thecomfortacupoint sticking therapy.Serum IL-2,IL-4,IL-8 and TNF-αconcentrations were compared between the 2 groups before and after treatment.Results In the treatment group,the serum IL-2 concentration of patients after treatment was significantly higher than that before treatment(P <0.05),IL-8 and TNF-αconcentrations were significantly lower than those before therapy(P <0.05).Af-ter treatment,serum IL-2,IL-4 levels were significantly higher than those in the control group(P <0.05 )while IL-8 and TNF-αwere significantly lower than those of the control group(P <0.05 ).Conclusion Acupoint sticking therapy in summer for winter diseases effectively increase the concentration of serum IL-2 in patients with chronic bronchitis,reduced IL-8,TNF-α concentra-tions,and enhance their own immunity ability,reduce the degree of inflammation.
6.Current treatment of acute myeloid leukemia by targeting leukemia stem cells
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2013;22(7):395-398
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) originates from rare leukemia stem cells (LSC).Because these chemotherapy-resistant LSC are thought to underlie disease relapse,effective therapeutic strategies specifically targeting these cells may be beneficial.With the increasing knowledge regarding the LSC,several major directions in targeted therapies with regard to LSC are being investigated.These include targeting cell surface molecules,signal pathways,and microenvironment of LSC.Since eliminating LSC-should provide an efficient,potentially curative treatment option for leukemia patients,this article reviews the recent progress of LSC targeting in AML therapy.
7.Advances in clinical diagnosis and treatment of bile duct injury caused by laparoscopic cholecystectomy
International Journal of Surgery 2015;42(5):351-355
Bile dut injury (BDI) is one of the severe complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).The classification,diagnosis and treatment of the BDI caused by LC are partly controversial.The most efficient classification of the BDI is Strasberg-Bismuth's classification and the three modes and four classes developed by the Biliary Surgery Group of Surgery Branch of Chinese Medical Association.Although the success rate of intraoperative diagnosis for the BDI is very low,in most cases,the BDI is diagnosed by clinical manifestations and assistant examinations.Accurate classification and early diagnosis could help us to make a specific one for each patient according to certain situation.In this review,we focus on the classification,diagnosis and treatment of the BDI caused by LC.

10.Mathematical Analysis of Yin-Yang Wu-Xing Model in TCM
Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2008;6(5):269-270
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the functional structure of human body is composed of five functional subsystems which are based on the five-organs concept, and the relationship between them could be expatiated with Wu-Xing (Five-Elements) theory. Wu-Xing system is taken as our research object. The dynamic model has the characteristic of self-organization. There is only one stable point with local stability in the five-dimensional space. There exists an instability domain in the five-dimensional space. The stability domain is unbounded; it contains some special subdomains, including rectilineal subdomains, ray subdomains and line subdomains. In some ray subdomains, there exists comeback summits, the peak value of the comeback summit is comeback threshold. The existence of the comeback threshold means that, if the human body wants to go back to the healthy state from a certain special state which corresponded to the initial conditions located in a domain with comeback summit, it has to get across the comeback threshold. The comeback threshold is the division of the healthy state and the sub-healthy state. Some research work is done to investigate the response of the Wu-Xing dynamic model to the impact stimulation, and results in the decrease of the system's comeback threshold. There are 3 manners to achieve this goal, and they tally with the principle of the Wu-Xing system and the experimental rules in clinic.
