1.Early postnatal overnutrition results in insulin resistance in adulthood
Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 2014;30(5):368-372
Overnutrition during the early postnatal life,a critical time window for growth and development,may induce metabolic syndrome later in life,including overweight/obesity and insulin resistance.The important target organs of insulin,such as liver,adipose tissue,skeletal muscle,and central nervous systems show insulin resistance.The involved mechanisms include abnormality of insulin signal pathway,increment of free fatty acid and some adipocytokines,oxidative stress,maladjustment of orexigenic and anorexigenic neuron,modifications of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal glucocorticoid axis as well as epigenetic,etc.Hence,overnutrition should be avoided during the early postnatal life,so as to decrease the risk of developing long-term insulin resistance.

3.Isolation and Purification of Kupffer Cells from Rat Liver
Chinese Journal of Bases and Clinics in General Surgery 2003;0(03):-
Objective To explore a simple, effective and stable method for the isolation and purification of Kupffer cells from rat liver, enabling further study on the structure and function of these cells in vitro. Methods After laparotomy, a catheter was inserted into the portal vein and secured with artery clamp. Then, the rat liver was perfused and digested with solution Ⅰ and solution Ⅱ containing 0.05% collagenase Ⅳ respectively. The cell suspension was centrifuged with isopycnic sedimentation in a two-step Percoll gradient to harvest Kupffer cells. The isolated Kupffer cells were purified by selective adherence after 30 min of cultivation, and identified by evaluation of phagocytosis of India ink and peroxidase staining with DAB through light and electron microscopy. Results It was verified that the viability of isolated Kupfffer cells was more than 90% through Trypan blue staining. Those Kupffer cells could attach to plastic quickly and phagocytose ink, and had the appearance of "fried eggs" in positive peroxidase staining with a purity of 95%. Under the light microscopy, the appearance of newly isolated Kupffer cells was round with uniform shape and size. After two days of culture, Kupffer cells appeared to distend with irregular or stellate shape. The typical features were observed in the transmission electron micrographs. There were numerous pseudopods and occasional cup-like indentations in the cell membrane of Kupffer cells. The cytoplasm contained numerous types of lysosomes and other phagocytotic vesicles. Conclusion The method for isolating and culturing Kupffer cells in this study is effective and stable, and the biological characters are preserved in the cultured cells.

5.Analysis of serum uric acid level in pregnant women with pregnancy induced hypertension
Chinese Journal of Biochemical Pharmaceutics 2017;37(5):433-434
Objective To investigate the relationship between serum uric acid level and the severity of pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) in pregnant women with hypertension.MethodsFrom January 2016 to July 2016 in our hospital for treatment of 100 cases of patients with pregnancy induced hypertension, as PIH group, divided into severe hypertension group (33 cases), moderate PIH group (33 cases) and mild PIH group (34 cases), then select 100 cases of normal pregnant women normal pregnancy group.The serum uric acid levels were measured and the results were analyzed.ResultsThe average serum uric acid levels in PIH group (359.75+89.23) mol/L was significantly higher than the control group (188.24+54.54) mol/L in PIH group, the average level of serum uric acid in severe, moderate and mild degree is decreasing, respectively (449.32+81.11), (352.89+76.41), (288.76+59.58) mol/L, a statistically significant difference between the groups (P<0.05).ConclusionThe detection of serum uric acid level in pregnant women can effectively determine the degree of pregnancy induced hypertension in pregnant.

Although the key role of External Quality Assessment schemes ( EQAS ) in the standardization/harmonization process has been clear from the start, it has never been totally implemented, mainly due to the lack of commutable materials, the difficulty target values and acceptable range.EQAS may also improve standardization/harmonization by proposing rules for the post-examination phase.Improvements in standardization and harmonization will really be able to work under the joint efforts of stakeholders.

Myelodysplastic syndromes ( MDS ) represent a heterogeneous group of clonal hematopoietic disorders with diverse clinical course .Because of the heterogeneity and the lack of molecular markers to monitor disease progression, clinical management of MDS patients is challenging .Recently, with the development of molecular analysis techniques , an increasing number of MDS related molecular biomarkers have been reported.In this review, we will discuss the clinical applications of the newly reported molecular makers in terms of diagnosis , prognosis and treatment.These markers may improve the diagnosis and prognostic assessment systems of MDS , which may potentially be used to guide decision making in the individual therapy.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of acupuncture plus auricular point electroacupuncture and its effect on the quality of life (QOL).Method Ninety-eight patients with post-stroke depression were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 49 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by acupuncture plus auricular point electroacupuncture, while the control group was by oral administration of Fluoxetine hydrochloride. The Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Side-effect Rating Scale (SERS), and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire-Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF) were observed before and after intervention, and the clinical efficacies were also compared.Result The total effective rate was 89.1% in the treatment group versus 87.0% in the control group, and the between-group difference was statistically insignificant (P>0.05). Respectively after 2-week, 4-week, and 8-week treatment, the HAMD scores were significantly different from that before intervention in the treatment group (P<0.05). Respectively after 2-week, 4-week, and 8-week treatment, the HAMD scores were significantly different from that before intervention in the control group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in comparing the HAMD scores between the two groups after 2-week, 4-week, and 8-week treatment (P>0.05). The SERS scores in the treatment group were significantly different from that in the control group after 4-week and 8-week treatment (P<0.05). In the treatment group, the SERS score after 8-week treatment was significantly different from that after 4-week treatment (P<0.05). After treatment, the scores of general health domain 1 and 4, physical health domain, psychological health domain, and environment domain from WHOQOL-BREF were significantly changed in both groups (P<0.05). After intervention, the physical health domain score of the treatment group was significantly different from that of the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture plus auricular point electroacupuncture is an effective approach in treating post-stroke depression, and it can improve the quality of life of the patients.
