1.Relationship between mitochondrial DNA alteration and gastric cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2016;43(8):628-630
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is more susceptible to oxidative damage and has a higher mutation rate compared with nuclear DNA due to the absence of protective histone proteins and imperfect repair system.Somatic alterations in mtDNA have been proposed to contribute to initiation and progression of human cancer in previous researches.However,the role of these mtDNA alterations in gastric cancer progression remains unclear.Point mutations and mtDNA content alterations are the two most common mtDNA alterations that result in mitochondrial dysfunction in gastric cancers.Identifing somatic mtDNA alterations in gastric cancers as well as their association with the clinicopathological parameters of gastric cancer,and exploring the causative factors of the somatic mtDNA alterations in cancer progression have been a new direction of gastric cancer research in recent years.
2.Stereotactic body radiotherapy for early stage non-small cell lung cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2015;(10):773-775
As one of the treatment options for early stage NSCLC,stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT)is mainly applied to the inoperable patients.Compared with small doses of traditional fractionated radi-ation treatment,SBRT are taken a single high dose of radiation.A large body of experience has been accumula-ted over the years and the mathematical model to describe survival in high dose range typically used in SBRT and the best dose of segmentation model were focused on,but there has not yet reached a consensus.Studies show that SBRT has certain advantages in local control ratio and adverse reaction compared with traditional radiotherapy,which can be used in operable patients in the future.

Chinese Critical Care Medicine 2016;28(7):666-668
The cases of cardiac arrest are increasing because of the increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the necessary measure to rescue these patients. But the success rate of recovery is still low. Acid-base disturbance is one of the important factors affecting the recovery effect. Overseas and domestic studies in recent years focused on the acid-base changes and mechanism in CPR have founded that it exits extraordinary hypercapnia and CO2 spike, which have important guidance to the clinical work. The research for the arterial blood gas analysis during CPR, changes in the exact time, and treatment of hypercapnia and acid-basic change in different etiology and different populations were very few, therefore the a lot of clinical data is needed to accumulate for further study.

BACKGROUND: Nowadays, aerobic exercise has been a theme of mod ern body-building. Therefore, there are practical significance of under standing and mastering the effect of aerobic exercise on the constitution of body builder in instructing body-building practice. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of aerobic exercise on body composi tion, cardiore spiratory function and body figure of female college students. DESIGN: Non-randomized concurrent control experiment. SETTING: China Female College. PARTICIPANTS: The experiment was conducted from May 2003 to Oc tober 2004. 100 female college students were randomly selected from Chi na Female College and other three colleges and taken as the aerobic exer cise group. Another 100 female college students of the same age without systematic aerobic exercise were taken as the control group. METHODS: ①The course for aerobic exercise group were mainly aero bics, ballroom dancing and hexagram boxing, including 5-15 minutes of warming up, 30-45 minutes of aerobic exercise [the target heart rate in (75% maximal heart rate) exercise lasted for at least 15 minutes] and 15-20 minutes of cooling down, which were conducted for 60 minutes each time and twice a week. The exercise should be performed at 2.5 hours before supper for 1.5 years.②Subjects in the control group were not inter fered but kept in same diet and resting time as the aerobic exercise group. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Body figure indexes: body height, body mass, chest circumference, waistline, hip circumferences.②Skinfold thickness, fat mass index and lean body mass. ③ Lung capacity, maximal breathing capacity in each minute, stroke volume, cardiac output, ejection fraction, heart rate, ejection time, mean normalized systolic ejection rate (MNSER) and left velocity of circumferential fiber shortening (LVCf). RESULTS: A total of 200 subjects, who had accomplished all tests were involved in the analysis of results. ①The waistline was smaller after exer cise in the aerobic exercise group than that in the control group, while the chest circumference and hip circumferences were bigger than those in the control group (P < 0.05), and the waist-to-hip ratio was smaller than that in the control group (6.50±10.48, 70.39±11.24, P < 0.05). There was no sig nificant difference in body mass index between the two groups (P < 0.05). ②The skinfold thickness in rump, scapular region, thoracic region, abdom inal region as well as femoral region and region of shank were smaller after exercise in the aerobic exercise group than those in the control group (P<0.05-0.005), and the body fat percentage was significantly smaller than that in the control group [(20.5±3.45)%, (26.5±4.58)%,P < 0.005]. However, the lean body mass in the aerobic exercise group was greater than that in the control group [(41.8±9.86), (36.9±8.69) kg,P < 0.01].③ After exercise, the lung capacity, maximal breathing capacity in each min utes, stroke volume, MNSER and LVCf in the aerobic exercise group were remarkably greater than those in the control group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: ①Aerobic exercise can effectively ameliorate the body figure of female college students and coordinate three measurements with each other.②Aerobic exercise can greatly reduce the in vivo fat contents of female students and increase their lean body mass. ③Aerobic exercise can remarkably enhance the lung capacity, pulmonary ventilation volume as well as cardiac functions of blood-pumping and contraction etc. In female college students.

Objective To compare the cognitive function of children with behavior problems and normal children. Methods 87 children with behavior problems were choosed as study group,according to Rutter' s Children Behaviour Qestionnaire. And 87 normal children were choosed randomly as normal control. Chinese Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (C-WISC) ,Clinical Memory Scale (CMS) ,Number Cancellation Test (NCT) and the Forth Exceptional Test (FET) were adopted to assess the cognitive function of children in two groups. Results Compared with normal control, arithmetic scale ( ( 10.40 ± 3.02 ) vs ( 12. 13 ± 3.26 ) ), verbal IQ ( ( 121.55 ±12.54) vs ( 129.40 ± 13.98) ), object assembly scale ( ( 9.98 ± 2.79 ) vs ( 11.70 ± 2.78 ) ), performance IQ((97.40±10.84) vs ( 103.93 ±14.22)),full IQ ((112.28±11.14) vs (119.03 ± 12.57)),verbal comprehension IQ ( ( 110.48 ± 11.23 ) vs ( 115.80 ± 12.31 ) ), memory/concentration IQ ( ( 101.25 ± 11.66 ) vs ( 109.40 ± 15.45 ) ),the net scale ( (67.05 ± 33.85 ) vs ( 88.72 ± 22.51 ) ) and error rate( ( 32.27 ± 35.77 ) %vs ( 15.41 ± 10.35 ) % ) were lower in children with behavior problems ( all P < 0.05 ). In study group, the total scale of Rutter' s Children Behaviour Qestionnaire was negatively correlated with memory/concentration IQ, and with net scale(r = - 0. 335, - 0. 367, P < 0.05 );but it was positively correlated with error rate (r = 0. 333, P < 0.05 ). Conclusion Cognitive defects may exist in children with behavior problems.
