Journal of Chongqing Medical University 1986;0(04):-
Objective:To evaluate the clinical therapeutic effect of L-glutamine granules on intestinal damage of severe burn patients and the safety of the drug.Methods:Twenty-two severe burn patients were randomly divided into control group(C group, n =11) and L-glutamine treatment group ( n =11).GLN treatment group were given L-glutamine in a dose of 30g per day for 7 days and C group were given equal amount of placebo.The plasma L-glutamine concentration,the severity of intestinal mucosa damage, the level of plasma protein and parameters of immunological function were observed and the length of hospital stay was recorded.Results:After 7 days of taking L-glutamine orally,plasma L-glutamine concentration was significantly higher and the severity of intestinal mucosal damage were slighter in GLN treatment group than those in C group.The level of plasma protein and parameters of immunological function were higher in GLN treatment group than those in C group.In addition,the length of hospital stay was shorter in GLN treatment group than those in C group.Conclusion:Administration of L-glutamine can raise the plasma GLN level,abate the severity of intestinal damage obviously, maintain the barrier function of intestinal mucosa, enhance the immunological function, correct the negative nitrogen balance and promote the wound healing with no complications.

Conclusion The adopted approach based on Plackett-Burman design and RSM was fit for the fermentation of this strain.
4.On Complexity of Syndromes from View of High Dimensions and High Ranks
China Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Pharmacy 2005;0(02):-
The complexity of syndromes in traditional Chinese medicine comes from their high dimensions and high ranks.The high-dimensional characteristics of syndromes manifest in various and numerous space elements that constitute the clinical syndrome system.The elements can be grouped into at least nine categories including pathogenesis,pathological mechanism,pathological nature,pathological situation,pathological changes,and symptoms,relationships between evil QI and healthy QI,and body state.Furthermore,each element contains several sub-elements. The high-rank characteristics of syndromes manifest in the complex relationships among the elements.Dependency relationships among the elements of the lung diseases were extensively studied using Bayesian network technology.The result shows that the dependency relationships exhibit typically complex and nonlinear characteristics,linear and nonlinear interactions among the elements lead to a complex syndrome network architecture.
5.Progress in synthetic biology of pinocembrin.
Chinese Journal of Biotechnology 2015;31(4):451-460
Pinocembrin, belonging to flavanons, was isolated from various plants. Pinocembrin has a variety of pharmacological activities, such as neuroprotective effect, antimicrobial activity, and antioxidant efficacy. Pinocembrin was approved as class I drugs to its phase II clinical trial by CFDA in 2009, mainly used for the treatment of ischemic stroke. As a promising compound, the manufacturing technologies of pinocembrin, including chemical synthesis, extraction from plant and synthetic biology, have attracted many attentions. Compared with the first two technologies, synthetic biology has many advantages, such as environment-friendly and low-cost. Construction of biosynthetic pathway in microorganism offers promising results for large scale pinocembrin production by fermentation after taking lots of effective strategies. This article reviews some of recent strategies in microorganisms to improve the yield, with focus on the selection of appropriate the key enzyme sources, the supply of precursors and cofactors by microorganisms, the choice of substance and the level of the key enzyme expression.

6.Investigation In postoperative quality of life of patients with gastric cancer and analysis of its influencing factors
Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2012;28(12):9-11
ObjectiveTo investigate and analyze the factors affecting the quality of life of patients with gastric cancer after surgery. Methods120 cases of gastric cancer patients undergoing resection of gastric cancer from March 2009 to March 2010 in our hospital were chosen as the research object.100 cases of non-cancer patients with similar general information and without factors affecting quality of life at the same period were chosen as the control group.Quality of Life Questionnaire of Stomach 22 (QLQ-STO22) were used to investigated the quality of life of patients in the two groups.The factors affecting the quality of life for patients with gastric cancer were analyzed.Countermeasures to increase the quality of life of cancer patients were explored according to factors affecting the quality of life. ResultsThe study showed that quality of life of gastric cancer patients was significantly lower than the control group.The differences were significant.Multiple linear regression analysis showed that gender,age,personality,education degree,family economic status,cancer disease were the main factors affecting their quality of life. ConclusionsIn clinical care of patients with gastric cancer,the medical staff should take appropriate psychological care and health education based on individual circumstances of patients,try to eliminate the adverse fractors of patients in psychology,cognition and thought in order to enhance the quality of life of patients after surgery.
7.Social Behavior and Peer Status of Aggressive and Victimized Rural Chinese Children
Chinese Journal of Clinical Psychology 2000;0(04):-
Objective:To investigate the behavior profiles and correlates of subgroups of aggression and victimization in a rural children sample.Methods: 744 primary school children (10.96?1.32 years old) were investigated through peer nomination. Results: Classifications resulted in three subtypes, the aggressive-victims (54 boys, 16 girls), non-aggressive victims (20 boys, 18 girls), and 41 non-victimized aggressors (33 boys, 8 girls). MANOVA revealed significant differences among these subtypes and between genders on an array of social behaviors. Post hoc comparisons suggested that aggressive-victims had the lowest peer acceptance, highest peer rejection, and higher social withdrawal. Compared with normal groups, non-aggressive victims also showed more behavioral problems. Conclusion:The aggressive-victims have lowest peer relations and highest aggression and victimization, the non-aggressive victims have highest withdrawal and shyness.
8.Effects of urapidil on discharges of pain-sensitive neurons in thalamic parafascicular nucleus evoked by coronary artery occlusion in rats
Chinese Journal of Anesthesiology 1996;0(09):-
Objective To investigate the changes in discharge rates of pain-sensitive neurons (PSN) in thalamic parafaseicular nucleus ( Pf) following coronary artery occlusion (CAO) and the effects of urapidil, a partial 5-HT agonist. Methods One-hundred male SD rats weighing 260-300 g were operated upon under urethane anesthesia and local infiltration of the skin incision. The animals were tracheotomized and mechanically ventilated. A hole was drilled in the skull until the brain was exposed. A single-barrel glass electrode was inserted, aiming at the PSN, the discharges of which were filtered, amplified and recorded. Chest was opened and heart was exposed. A tie was placed around the anterior descending branch of left coronary artery which can be occluded whenever needed. The study was divided into 3 groups : group I CAO alone; group II CAO + urapidil and group III CAO + urapidil + methysergide ( a potent serotonin antagonist). Urapidil 0.21 mg.kg-1 was given intravenously 15 min after CAO. Methysergide 0.1 mg.kg-1 was given iv 20 min after urapidil. Results Discharges of PSN were recorded in 45 animals out of the 100, and the recordings were complete for investigation in 31 animals. CAO evoked significant increase in the discharge frequency of PSN in 18/31 animals. After intravenous urapidil the increased frequency of nociceptive discharges was inhibited; however intravenous methysergide could partially antagonize the antinociceptive effect of urapidil. Conclusion The results indicate that (1 )the nociceptive response could be induced by CAO in rats; (2) Pf nucleus of thafamus is involved in the myocardial ischemia-induced nociceptive response of central nervous system; (3) serotonin plays a critical role in the modulation of the nociceptive signal of acute myocardial ischemia.
