1.Study of informing cancer patients of the disease with the optimized security strategy based on AQ score
Journal of International Oncology 2012;39(9):709-712
ObjectiveTo study the optimized security strategy for informing cancer patients with the disease,and let patients be fully informed and even more actively cooperate with doctors while they are under treatment.MethodsGrouped with adversity quotient (AQ) score,these cancer patients were in comparison with those who had been informed by other ways without support strategy,and different groups of patients were estimated in different strategies in accordance with self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS).Results With certain strategies,high and low AQ score groups' SAS and SDS scores stably restored in 1 day to 1 week,and the differences had statistical significance(P < 0.01 ).The patients were well-informed without any difficulty and actively cooperated with treatment.No related factors led to self-mutilation,suicide and other serious incidents.While the SAS and SDS scores of the control group who were not informed by the strategy were not satisfactorily recovered,and the patients could not actively cooperate with the doctors.Especially being notified after 1 d to 1 week,the SAS and SDS scores had no significant improvement,and the differences had no statistical significance compared with themselves ( P > 0.05 ).It is difficult to avoid the occurrence of serious incidents.Conclusion Based on AQ score,it is safe and effective to inform cancer patients of their disease condition by individual strategies.It not only respects patients rights,but also gains the active cooperation of the patients,and is helpful for treatment with minimizing adverse effects.
4.Diagnostic value of serum HE4 and YKL-40 for the ovarian cancer
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2015;(6):819-820,821
Objective To study the significance of serum human epididymis protein 4 ( HE4 ) and human cartilage glycoprotein-39(YKL-40) in the diagnosis of ovarian cancer .Methods 100 patients with ovarian cancer , 90 patients with benign tumor of ovary and 50 healthy people were enrolled .Serum HE4 and YKL-40 were detected . Results The positive rates of serum HE 4 in ovarian cancer group , ovarian benign tumor group and healthy group were 86.0%,5.5%,2.0%.The positive rate of serum HE4 in ovarian carcinoma was significantly higher than that in benign ovarian tumor group and the healthy group (χ2 =31.06,30.82,all P<0.01).The positive rates of serum YKL-40 in ovarian cancer group ,ovarian benign tumor group and healthy group were 82.0%,3.3%,2.0%.The positive rate of serum YKL-40 in ovarian carcinoma was significantly higher than that in benign ovarian tumor group and the healthy group(χ2 =30.92,32.06,all P<0.01).Serum HE4 in the diagnosis of ovarian cancer ,the sensitivity was 86.0%,specificity of 95.7%,accuracy of 91.7%.Serum YKL-40 in the diagnosis of ovarian cancer ,the sensitivity was 82.0%,specificity of 97.1%,accuracy of 90.8%.For the joint detection,the sensitivity for diagnosis of ovarian cancer was 92.0%,and the specificity was 93.6%,accuracy was 95.0%,higher than those of the single detection . Conclusion Combined with serum HE 4 and YKL-40 detection can significantly improve the diagnostic accuracy of ovarian cancer patients .
5.Oxidative stress response in diabetic nephropathy rats following injection of embryonic stem cells via the tail vein
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;(14):2199-2204
BACKGROUND:Occurrence and development of diabetic complications is closely related to the severity of oxidative stress imbalance in the body. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of embryonic stem cel s on oxidative stress response of rats with diabetic nephropathy. METHODS:Primarily cultured rat embryonic stem cel s were observed for cel morphology and surface antigen detection. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into experimental group (two injections of embryonic stem cel s via the tail vein), model group (injection of the same volume of PBS), and normal control group (with no modeling, intraperitoneal injection of sodium citrate-citrate buffer). In the former two groups, the rats were intraperitoneal y injected sodium citrate-citrate buffer diluted streptozotocin to establish diabetic nephropathy models before treatment. At 5 weeks after the last injection, blood glucose level, renal function indicators (urine protein/urine creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine) were tested in each group;contents of malondialdehyde and protein carbonyl were detected in the kidney;the expression level of superoxide dismutase was detected by western blot assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The embryonic stem cel s were oval or round, with clear boundary and good refraction, and highly expressed Oct-4 and SSEA-1. Compared with the control group, renal biochemical indicators, malondialdehyde and protein carbonyl contents were significantly increased, while the expression level of superoxide dismutase was decreased dramatical y in the model group and experimental group (P<0.05);compared with the model group, the renal biochemical indicators, malondialdehyde and protein carbonyl contents were dropped significantly in the experimental group, but the expression of superoxide dismutase was significantly rebounded (P<0.05). Taken together, embryonic stem cel s can reverse the occurrence and development of diabetic nephropathy by inhibiting oxidative stress in progress.
6.Early intervention of plastic surgery needed for combined treatments of earthquake survivors
Chinese Journal of Medical Aesthetics and Cosmetology 2009;15(2):96-99
Objective To investigate the types and features of skin soft tissue injury caused by earthquake disaster and to explore the necessity of early intervention of plastic surgery.Methods 149 wounded patients of"5.12"Sichuan earthquake were retrospectively analyzed and summarized.Results Incidence of skin soft tissue injury was 53%.53 of the wounded were diagnosed as"multiple skin soft tissue injury"and 14 were"skin soft tissue necrosis".Feature of skin soft tissue injury was summarized.Through analysis of typical case,a type of serious skin soft tissue necrosis was reported first time,which occurred in the long-time buried survivors after earthquake.Conclusion The early intervention of plastic surgery will help diagnose and treat the wounded,and shorten the recovery time.
7.Professor Chen's Acupuncture Experience for Treating the Deficiency Syndrome of Cervical Vertigo
Journal of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University 2014;(4):473-474
[Objective] To summarize the clinical experience of the professor Chen in the treatment of cervical vertigo. [Method] Through analysis of professor Chen, a professor of cervical vertigo evidence-based medicine and the main points of the typical cases, professor Chen uses characteristic therapy clinical experience for the treatment of cervical vertigo deficiency syndrome.

9.Progress of assessment methods and application in children asthma
International Journal of Pediatrics 2012;39(1):74-78
Establishing the assessment methods of childhood asthma is highlighted in asthmatic prevention and treatment.Due to the factors such as age,genotypic environment,pathogenesis and treatment,the assessment methods existed have some defects and cant objectively reflect the situation of asthma disease and airway inflammation.The assessment methods including symptom scores,pulmonary function test,airway responsiveness detection and fractional concentration of exhaled nitric oxide are described in this review.The principles,advantages,disadvantages,application ways and so on are discussed in detail,to improve the rationality of the application in these methods in order to make them play a greater role in asthmatic diagnosis,disease detection,medication guild and prognosis estimation,and explore a more effective and simple assessment way in children asthma.
10.Leukemia inhibitory factor and central nervous system diseases
International Journal of Pediatrics 2012;39(5):507-509
Leukemia inhibitory factor(LIF) is a multifunctional cytokine.In recent years,investigations have made some advancement in the effect of LIF on central nervous system.LIF shows a high expression in various central nervous system diseases and related animal models,which shows a neuroprotective effect most time in central nervous system injuries.LIF is defined as a neurotrophic factor.It might provide a new strategy for the therapy of central nervous system diseases to undertake further studies on leukemia inhibitory factor and central nervous system diseases.
