1.Kawasaki disease and allergic diseases
International Journal of Pediatrics 2012;39(3):234-236
Kawasaki disease (KD) is one of the most common causes of acquired heart disase in children,the development of which is closely related to the allergic diseases.Recent studies have manifested that the incidence of allergic diseases in children with KD is far higher than that in those children without KD.Meanwhile,the morbidity of KD in allergic children is significantly higher than that in those who do not have family medical history of allergic diseases.By far,the mechanisms causing interaction between KD and allergic diseases still remain unclear.Possible mechanisms include IgE-meditated immune response,release of large quantity of cytokines and inflammatory meditators as well as atopic family history.
2.Progress in the role of steroids in Kawasaki disease therapy
International Journal of Pediatrics 2013;40(4):367-370
Kawasaki disease(KD) is the most common reason for acquired heart disease in children,which is closely related to autoimmune response and the release of cytokines in vascular endothelial cells.Steroids are strongly effective in countering inflammation as well as immune response.In the time of being,it has become a hot spot that steroids play an important role in the initial treatment for acute KD and for incomplete and refractory KD.
4.Impacts of health education on awareness of hyperglycemia, self-efficacy and blood glucose level in patients with coronary heart disease
Chinese Journal of Health Management 2012;06(2):96-99
Objective To investigate the impacts of health education on awareness of hyperglycemia,self-efficacy and serum level of blood glucose in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).Methods Two hundred CHD patients were enrolled in this study and assigned to the normal blood glucose (NGT) group ( n =60),impaired glucose regulation (IGR) group ( n =50),and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) group (n =90).Health education programme was carried out before and after discharge from the hospital.Fasting plasma glucose (FPG),2 h postprandial blood glucose (2 hPG) and glycosylated hemoglobin ( HbA1c ) of each group were assessed at baseline and 3 or 6 months after the intervention.Chisquare or t test was used for data analysis.Results After the intervention,the awareness of hyperglycemia was significantly improved in each of three groups (NGT group:x2 values were 17.207,23.582,37.046,39.046,38.686,46.218,28.643,39.895,37.046 and 33.333,respectively,all P < 0.05 ; IGR group:x2values were 31.723,23.529,23.389,27.542,21.091,27.307,20.219,38.235,24.669 and 26.475,respectively,all P <0.05; T2DM group:x2 values were 21.161,20.680,14.612,23.104,22.383,29.436,19.444,32.526,24.671 and 31.696,respectively,all P < 0.05 ).Self-efficacy scores of symptom selfmanagement and common disease management were increased after the health education intervention (t values were 12.75 and 7.21,respectively,both P < 0.05 ).At 3 or 6 months,the NGT group showed on significant change in FPG,2 h PG and HbAlc (F values were 2.35,1.97 and 2.01,respectively,all P >0.05) ; however,FPG,2 h PG and HbAlc of the IGR and T2DM group were significantly decreased ( IGRgroup:F values were 8.07,8.89,and 10.23,respectively,all P < 0.05 ; T2DM group:F values were 12.35,11.56 and 8.99,respectively,all P < 0.05 ).Conclusion Health education could improve the awareness of hyperglycemia,self-efficacy and glucose metabolism in patients with CHD.

Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(10):771-774
Magnetic resonance imaging diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) as a non-radiation and noninvasive examination method,has great help in diagnosis and staging of lung cancer,and the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) determination has demonstrated clinical application value in the therapeutic assessment.As an essential complement of CT,MRI-CT imaging infusion improves the accuracy of the target volume sketching in the radiotherapy of lung cancer.
6.Optimal fields and dose of postoperative radiation in esophageal carcinoma
Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(1):48-51
Among esophageal cancer patients who had undergone radical surgery, the overall 5-year survival rate ranges from 20% to 30%. Postoperative radiotherapy is important adjunctive and remedial treatment. However, currently, there is no clear consensus on the indication of postoperative radiotherapy, the optimal radiation fields and dose. We review and summarize the relevant studies for clinical references.
7.Glial microenvironment and repair in central nervous system injury
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2010;18(2):151-156
Central nervous system (CNS) injury, including brain injury and spinal cord injury, has higher disability and mortality. Therefore, CNS injury repair has been a research emphasis and focus in the field of neuroscience. The limited neurons intrinsic regenerative capacity in adult mammalians is one of the reasons of regeneration difficulties after CNS injury. However, the more important reason is the formation of inhibitive glial microenvironment at the local lesion sites. This article reviews the roles of all types of cells, such as astrocyte, microglia, taxi oligodendroglia in gtial microenvironment in CNS injury repair.
8.Clinical analysis for patients with severe chronic emphysema treated by lung volume reduction surgery
Chinese Journal of General Practitioners 2009;8(7):461-463
Objective To study effectiveness and safety of lung volume reduction surgery(LVRS) in treatment for severe chronic emphysema(chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).Methods Clinical data of 24 patients of severe chronic emphysema undergone with LVRS during January 2004 to June 2007 were analyzed retrospectively.LVRS was performed for the patients after respiratory tract preparation based on their pulmonary function,results of blood gas analysis,cardiac function,as well as physical activity capacity.and surgical incision Was selected based on"target"location of emphysema with chest computerized tomography and isotope lung perfusion scanning,22 cases with standard unilateral LVRS via outer post-lateral incision and two with bilateral LVRS via mid-sternal incison.A linear device for cutting and stitching was used in surgical operation to excise the lung tissues of severe emphysema with strips of bovine pericardium to prevent air leakage.Results All the patients were followed-up for 19 months in average and complications occurred in seven of them after operation,including four with leakage of the alveoli.two with cardiac arrhythmia and one with pneumonia,and no death was observed.Pulmonary function and symptoms of dyspnea improved obviously in all the patients after operation,and they all could care for themselves,in general,with scales of dyspnea increased to grade Ⅰ in one case,to grade Ⅱ in 10 cases and to grade Ⅲ in three cases.Conclusions LVRS can improve pulmonary function of selected patients with severe emphysema,to certain extent,and its safety will depend on strict selection of the patients and correct peri-operative care.

However, bronchitis obliterans, as the main of complication, can prevent the long term survival after lung transplantation. Tracheal epithelium cell is the main target organ of the tardive reject reaction. This paper briefly explains the immunologic mechanism regarding the development of bronchitis obliterans, and the role of tracheal epithelium cell in the study, with aim of exploring the initial relationship between tracheal epithelium cell and bronchitis obliterans, and to find a method to solve the long-term survival of lung transplantation.
10.Necessity of Pharmaceutical Care Provided by Clinical Pharmacists for the Use of Advertised Drugs
China Pharmacy 2016;27(10):1435-1437
OBJECTIVE:To explore the necessity of pharmaceutical care provided by clinical pharmacists during the use of ad-vertised drugs. METHODS:Through retrospectively analyzing drug advertisements permission number of which had been revoked issued by China Food and Drug Administration during Jan. 2013-Jun. 2015 statistically,the reasons for permission withdrawal were analyzed to put forward the focal point of pharmaceutical care development. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:A total of 46 items of permission number had been revoked,including 45 items of Chinese patent medicine (97.83%),1 item of western medicine (2.17%). The reasons for permission revoking mainly included overstating therapeutic efficacy without authorization,guaranteeing onset time,guaranteeing recovery in certain time,propagandizing drugs in the name of experts,etc. These drug advertisements sent relatively one-sided information so as to easily mislead patients and consumers to use drug irrationally. So,it is necessary to provide pharmaceutical care by clinical pharmacists about this kind of drug. The focal points of pharmaceutical care contain telling patients usage and dosage detailedly,and explaining possible ADR and relevant countermeasures;emphasizing different therapeutic efficacy,onset time and recovery time due to individual difference;strengthening prescription check and medication suitability ap-praisal,and so on.
