2.Biological markers of esophageal carcinoma invasion and metastasis
Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(10):774-776
The invasion and metastasis of esophageal carcinoma is associated with several tumor marker on oncogenesi and tumor development,including matrix metalloproteinase,cell adhesion molecules CD44,pituitary-tumour transforming genes.Studies have shown that these tumor markera are over-expression in esophageal carcinoma,which affect the progress and prognosis of esophageal carcinoma,and their specificity and value for clinical application need to be futher studied.

Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2012;35(18):28-30
Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of ultrashort wave combined with dephlogisticate cholagogue table in treating patients with chronic cholecystitis.Methods One hundred and forty-four patients with chronic cholecystitis treated from January 2009 to October 2011 were randomly divided into 2gtoupe by mechanical sampling method.Treatment group (76 cases) was treated with ultrashort wave and dephlogisticate cholagogue table.Control group (68 cases) was treated with dephlogisticate cholagogue table.The therapeutic effect and the incidence of ache and fever and B-type ultrasonography between two groups were compared.Results The total effective rates were 89.5% (68/76) in treatment group and 67.6%(46/68) in control group.There was significant difference (P <0.01).The incidence of ache and fever,positive rate of B-type ultrasonography in tneatment group [10.5%(8/76),5.3%(4/76),10.5%(8/76)] were significantly lower than those in control group [32.4% (22/68),14.7% (10/68),33.8%(23/68)] (P < 0.05).Conclusion Ultrashort wave combined with dephlogisticate cholagogue tabble is an effective method for treating chronic cholecystitis.
4.Determination of Trace Cadmium (Ⅱ) in Water by Spectrophotometry in Cadmium (Ⅱ)-Potassium Iodide-Malachite Green-Gelatine
Journal of Environment and Health 2007;0(09):-
Objective To establish a high sensitive spectrophotometry for determination of trace cadmium in the water. Methods A complicated ion-association complex of Cd(Ⅱ)-potassium iodide-malachite green was formed in the phosphate acid, and the addition of gelatine could enhance the sensitivity of the reaction.The maximum absorption of the ion-association complex was at 680 nm,the effect of experimental conditions such as the reagents concentration,the temperature and the influence of foreign matters were considered.Results In the optimum condition(6.0 ml of 40% potassium iodide-aseorbic acid solution,0.5 ml of 5.0 mol/L phosphate acid solution,0.5 ml of 0.5% gelatine solution,1.5 ml of 1.0?10~(-3)mol/L malachite green solution in a 25ml volumetric flask,diluted with water and mixed well and determined immediately),the linear regression equation was △A=0.011+ 0.957 c,r=0.998 5.Beer's law was obeyed in the range of 0.02 ?g/ml to 0.80 ?g/ml for Cd(Ⅱ)and the limit detection was 0.02 ?g/ ml.The composing ratio of the complex was MG:Cd:I=2:1:4,and its apparent molar absorptivity coefficient was 1.08?10~5 L/(mol? cm).The recovery rates of Cd(Ⅱ)were 97.0%-101.5%,RSDs were 1.36%-3.58%.Conclusion This method is sensitive,simple, rapid and is applicable to the determination of the trace Cd(Ⅱ)in water.
5.Effects of vitamin E on the expression of hyaluronic acid synthetase-2 gene in human dermal fibroblasts in vitro
Chinese Journal of Medical Aesthetics and Cosmetology 2009;15(4):217-219
Objective To explore the mechanism of vitamin E on delaying skin aging by observ-ing the expression of hyaluronic acid synthetase-2 (HAS-2) in human dermal fibroblasts in vitro. Methods Human skin fibroblasts were cultured in vitro, and these fibroblast cells were then divided into 3 groups: different concentration of vitamin E (0, 0.1 × 10-10, 1 ×109mol/L) was added in the medium in the different group. 24 hours later, the fibroblasts were collected, RNAs extracted, and then amplified by RT-PCR. The PCR product was determined by agarose gel electrophoresis, to analyze the level of HAS-2 mRNA expression. Results RT-PCR showed the lever of HAS-2 mRNA was higher in the low-dose group than the control group, with significant difference (P<0.05) ; the lever of HAS-2 mRNA was higher in the high-dose group than control group, with significant difference (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the lever of HAS-2 mRNA between the low-dose group and the high-dose group. Conclusions Vitamin E can enhance the expression of hyaluronic acid synthetase-2 mRNA, may increase the synthesis of HAS in skin fibroblasts and increase water content in the skin, so that it might reverse or delay the skin aging.
6.Laser-induced chorioretinal venous anastomosis for retinal vein occlusion
Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases 2001;17(1):8-11
Purpose To evaluate the therapeutic effect of laser-induced chorioretinal venous anastomosis for retinal vein occlusion (RVO). Methods The investigation included 28 consecutive patients (28 eyes) with RVO.The non-ischemic group 18 cases (18 eyes) were treated with the krypton red laser to induce chorioretinal venous anastomosis, the ischemic group underwent the same therapy and the grid or scatter-type photocoagulation at the same time. All of the eyes were followed up for more than 5 months, and with an average period of 6.6 months. Results Seven cases (7 eyes, 38.9%) of the non-ischemic group created successful chorioretinal venous anastomosis, with mean improvement of 4.43±0.78 standard deviation (±s) lines of best-corrected visual acuity compared to 0.19±0.67 (±s) lines for 11 eyes with unsuccessful anastomosis (P<0.001). None of the seven eyes developed to ischemic state. Four of the 11 eyes with unsuccessful anastomosis converted to ischemic type (36.4%). Two cases of the ischemic group created successful anastomosis with improvement in visual acuity. The other cases had no change in visual acuity. Conclusion Laser-induced chorioretinal venous anastomosis is a new therapeutic method for RVO, especially for nonischemic type and successful anastomosis can decrease the conversion rate of the vein occlusion to an ischemic state.
7.MicroRNA-126 and tumor
Journal of International Oncology 2010;37(12):885-888
MicroRNAs can post-transcriptionally regulate the expression of their target mRNAs. MicroRNA-126 plays an important role in tumorigeness by targeting EGFL7, HOXA9, IRS-1 and p85-β. Intriguingly, it is downregulated in a wide range of tumors and is testified that it functions as a tumor suppressor in lung cancer, leukemia, breast cancer and ovarian cancer.

10.Association between serum uric acid levels and prognosis in acute ischemic stroke:a prospective case study
Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2015;34(11):1210-1212
Objective To investigate the association between serum uric acid (SUA)levels and outcome in acute ischemic stroke.Methods A total of 388 acute ischemic stroke patients were included in the prospective case study.Data on demographic characteristics, risk factors for life style, history of disease, the admission SUA and outcome at discharge were collected for all participants.Results Mean serum uric acid levels were (284.5±83.6) μmol/L in the normal uric acid? group, and(455.3±78.1)μmol/L in the high uric acid group(P<0.01).There were significant differences in National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at two weeks between the high UA group and the normal UA group [(11.0±6.0) vs.(11.0±5.3),P=0.048], and also in early neurological improvement (P=0.048).A significant difference was found in serum uric acid level between patients with good versus poor neurological function outcome (P =0.045).Conclusions There is the association between admission serum uric acid levels and outcome in acute ischemic stroke.Elevated serum uric acid level predicts a lower chance of a poor outcome in acute ischemic stroke.
