Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2012;(12):1212-1214
Effective leadership is crucial for health organizations' performance and numerous western universities thus offer leadership courses or modules to their students.However,such education practice has not started in China.In order to optimize knowledge and skills of health service management practitioners,to content with requirements of health service organizations,to cope with dynamic organization environment,to implement health reform successfully and to realized sustainable development of health organizations,it is necessary to provide leadership course for students of health service management at Chinese universities.
2.Mirror syndrome or preeclampsia?
Chinese Journal of Perinatal Medicine 2008;11(2):82-85
Objective To study the relationship among hydrops fetalis(over 28 gestational weeks),Mirror syndrome and preeclampsia(PE). Methods Clinical data of 13 cases of hydrops fetalis were analyzed and relative publications were reviewed. Results Eight out of the 13 cases were diagnosed as PE,and 5 were Mirror syndrome.Serious maternal complications occurred in all cases with either Mirror syndrome or PE. ConclusionsFetaland placental hydrops was closely related with maternal symptoms.Clinicians should be aware of this condition and detect Mirror syndrome in time so as to prevent its progress to PE.However,the pathogenic mechanism remains to be fully elucidated.More attention should be paid to both mothers and the hydrops fetalis.

5.Research progress in role of nuclear factor E2-related factor2 in regulating development of cirrhotic portal hypertension
Chinese Journal of Hepatobiliary Surgery 2015;21(2):137-140
Cirrhotic portal hypertension is associated with both increased intrahepatic vascular resistance and hyperdynamic circulation.These two pathogical changes of portal hypertension can be contributed to the unusually high or unusually low levels of vasodilator in liver and splanchnic organs.Vascular hyporesponsiveness due to reactive oxygen species is also a key factor which accounts for portal hemodynamic abnormalities.Transcription factor nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2),known by its role in anti-oxygenation,can initiate and enhance transcription of antioxidant response element (ARE) when exposure to oxidative stress occures.Related influence on expression of nitric oxide,carbon monoxide and their coenzymes has also been demonstrated for decades.The potential clinical significance will be unfolded if changes of Nrf2 expression,as well as the way modulating Nrf2,are found in cirrhotic portal hypertension.

Objective To study the effect of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) inhibition by small interference RNA (siRNA) on the apoptosis of DTC cells treated by 131 I.Methods DNA binding assay was performed at 24 h after 131I treatment (2 × 104 MBq/L) on KTC-1 cells.The cell survival assay was conducted at 48 h after 131 I treatment.Western blot was used to detect the changes of NF-κB p65 at 6 h after 131I treatment,and the changes of anti-apoptotic factors and apoptotic key factors at 24 h after 131 I treatment.The anti-apoptotic factors included in this study were X chromosome-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP),cellular inhibitor of apoptosis 1 (cIAP1) and B-cell lymphoma extra large (Bcl-xL),and the apoptotic key factors were caspase 3 and poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP).A total of 4 groups were studied for the detection of p65 and anti-apoptotic factors by Western blot:no oligonucleotide transfection control group (A),no oligonucleotide transfection + 131I group (B),scrambled oligonucleotides transfection + 131I group (C) and p65 siRNA transfection + 131I group (D).Another 6 groups of studies were:oligonucleotide transfection control group (1),scrambled oligonucleotides transfection group (2),p65 siRNA transfection group (3),no oligonueleotide transfection + 131I group (4),scrambled oligonucleotides transfection +131I group (5) and p65 siRNA transfection + 131I group (6).One-way analysis of variance and q test were performed for statistical analysis.Results The results of DNA binding assays for the 6 groups (1,2,3,4,5,6) were (100.00 ± 11.65)%,(96.00 ± 17.98)%,(9.28 ±5.01)%,(322.72 ±50.81)%,(311.36 ±44.81)% and (36.96 ± 15.66)%,respectively (F =137.74,P <0.01).NF-κB functions were strengthened with 131 I treatment (qgrouo 4∶1 =10.90,qroup 5∶2 =11.38,both P < 0.01).However,NF-κB p65 siRNA transfection could inhibit NF-κB functions (qgroup1∶3 =18.25,qgroup4∶6 =13.71,both P <0.01).Cell survival rates of the 6 groups were (100.00 ± 11.65)%,(96.32 ± 9.44)%,(70.88 ±7.41)%,(64.16 ±9.50)%,(62.24 ±9.37)% and (28.64 ±6.74)% (F=52.76,P<0.01).There were significant differences between groups 3 and 6,groups 4 and 6 (q =10.76 and 7.79,both P < 0.01).Western blot results showed that the expression of NF-κB p65 in the 4 groups (A,B,C,D) were (56.60 ±7.37)%,(111.07 ± 13.31)%,(113.16± 15.04)% and (12.46 ±2.74)%,respectively (F=60.17,P < 0.01).The t65 levels increased with 131 I treatment (qgroup B∶A =6.20,qroup c∶ A =5.85,both P <0.01); while decreased significantly using NF-κB p65 siRNA transfection (qgroup B:D =-12.57; qgroupC∶D =11.41,both P < 0.01).Western blot results showed that XIAP,cIAP1 and Bcl-xL in the 4 groups were (17.59±1.96)%,(16.45± 1.85)% and (19.92 ±2.22)%; (98.37± 17.92)%,(109.81 ±19.16)% and (95.59 ±22.20)% ; (98.43 ±18.71)%,(98.86± 15.88)% and (100.99 ±21.70)% ;(7.00 ± 0.95) %,(5.86 ± 0.35) % and (9.52 ± 0.90) %,respectively (F =44.22,56.51 and 29.11,all P < 0.01).131 I treatment induced higher expression of all the 3 genes (qgroup B∶ A =7.76,8.40 and 5.88,all P <0.01),while NF-κB p65 siRNA transfection,on the contrary,reduced the expression of all the 3 genes (qgroupB:D =8.82,9.40 and 6.71,all P <0.01).There were significant differences of p19,p17,p116 and p89 in the 6 groups(F =39.03,48.45,32.56,52.20,all P < 0.01),especially among group 3,4 and 6 (q =3.18-9.98,all P < 0.05).Conclusions 131I could activate NF-κB function and enhance the expressions of anti-apoptotic factors.NF-κB p65 siRNA transfection could effectively suppress this effect and therefore magnify 131I induced apoptosis in DTC cells.
