Chinese Journal of Digestion 2015;35(1):26-29
Objective To explore the correlation between Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection and colorectal cancer.Methods From January 2008 to January 2014,263 patients pathologically diagnosed as colorectal cancer were selected as colorectal cancer group,and at the same period 263 patients with normal colon mucosa under colonoscopy were set as control group.The rates of H.pylori infection,the rates of H.pylori infection in patients with different pathological types of colorectal cancer,the rates of H.pylori infection accompanied with atrophic gastritis and the rates of H.pylori infection accompanied with intestinal metaplasia of two groups were retrospectively analyzed.The difference of H.pylori infection between proximal colorectal cancer and distal colorectal cancer was compared.Chi-square test was performed for comparison and odds ratio (OR) value and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated.Results Among 263 patients with colorectal cancer,the H.pylori infection rate of colorectal cancer group was 63.50% (167/263),which was higher than that of control group (39.54%,104/263),and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =27.66,OR=2.66,95% CI 1.85 to 3.83,P<0.01).There was no statistical difference in rates of H.pylori infection among different pathological types of colorectal cancer (x2=0.15,P=0.93).The rate of H.pylori infection accompanied with atrophic gastritis in patients with colorectal cancer was 46.39% (122/263) which was higher than that of control group (23.57%,62/263),and the difference was statistically significant (x2=28.53,OR=2.94,95%CI 1.98 to 4.36,P<0.01).The rates of H.pylori infection accompanied with intestinal metaplasia in patients with colorectal cancer was 17.87% (47/263) which was higher than that of control group (4.18%,11/263),and the difference was statistically significant (x2=23.56,OR=5.50,95%CI 2.76 to 10.95,P<0.01).There was no significant difference in the rate of H.pylori infection between the proximal colorectal cancer and the distal colorectal cancer (x2 =1.48,P =0.22).Conclusion H.pylori infection,together with atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia caused by it are correlated with colorectal cancer.
3.Tumor microenvironment: A novel target for antitumor activity of polysaccharides
Journal of China Pharmaceutical University 2010;41(1):1-10
Tumor microenvironment plays a crucial role in neoplastic evolution process as it may provide functional interactions between neoplastic and non-neoplastic cells involved in tumor invasion,metastasis and angiogenesis,which implies that it can be regarded as a novel target for the antitumor therapy of polysaccharides.This review focuses on the protumor variations existing in tumor microenvironment,such as growth factors,immunosuppressive factors,proteases,glycoproteins,etc.,which may offer possible mechanisms of polysaccharides on the regulation of their corresponding functions.
4.Electromyographic features of agonists and antagonist muscles of the knee joints during maximal and submaximal isokinetic fatigue
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;(33):5344-5350
BACKGROUND:The power output of the human joints depends on the activation of agonists and antagonist muscles around the joints, and the antagonist muscle is involved in physical activity in a co-activated manner, thereby helping to maintain joint stability. But there are less reports on the central nervous system strategies of antagonist co-activation under different muscle contraction modes. OBJECTIVE:To observe the characteristics and differences of surface electromyography (sEMG) of agonists and antagonist muscles of the knee joints during maximal and submaximal isokinetic exercises until fatigue. METHODS:Sixteen students were enroled, who developed the right knee joint fatigue induced by the Biodex isokinetic equipment, and simultaneously sEMG activities of vastus medialis, vastus lateralis and biceps femoris were recorded by the myoelectrical equipment. The RMS (%) and mean frequency were selected to analyze sEMG characteristics. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the maximal isokinetic fatigue, the peak torque was decreased by 40.3% (P < 0.05) and the sEMG activity of agonists gradualy increased and then declined, but the sEMG activity of antagonists kept constant. In the submaximal isokinetic fatigue, the peak torque was decreased by 40.0% (P < 0.05), the sEMG activity of agonists gradualy increased (P < 0.05), and however the sEMG activity of the antagonists initialy increased and then decreased. The RMS and mean frequency of vastus medialis and lateralis as antagonists at selected reciprocal contractions showed no significant changes (P > 0.05). These results suggest that in the different intensities of isokinetic fatigue, the central nervous system employs different neural strategies on agonists and antagonists.

8.Clinical Experiences of Professor Zhang Qi in Treatment of Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection
World Science and Technology-Modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2014;(8):1802-1804
Recurrent urinary tract infection (RUTI) is a common disease in China. Modern medicine usually treats it with antibiotics. However, the drug resistance and adverse reaction of antibiotics lower the therapeutic effects and the compliance of patients. Based on the overall concept of Chinese medicine and the relationship of pathogenic factors and vital qi, Professor Zhang Qi proposed the general principles of RUTI treatment according to its different phases and patterns. The principles are listed as follows, eliminating method was used in the treatment of excess pattern;invigorating method was used in the treatment of deficiency pattern; and promoting of body resistance and eliminating pathogenic factors method was used in the treatment of the deficiency-excess complex pattern. These principles have instructional significance for clinical application.
