1.Chemical proteomics and discovery of drug targets.
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica 2011;46(8):877-82
Medical community and pharmaceutical companies are currently facing a dire need for discovery and identification of new druggable targets. However, the discovery of small-molecule target is an important and arduous task for the biological and medical scientists. To overcome the bottlenecks for target validation, many new approaches are being developed, such as chemical proteomics. As a part of proteomics approaches, chemical proteomics employs small-molecule compounds that can specifically interact with the target protein to interfere with and detect proteomics. Therefore, new target identification, drug discovery and research on multi-target-directed drugs will all be benefited from the further advances in chemical proteomics approaches. Chemical proteomics has the potential to greatly enhance the efficiency of the drug discovery process.
2.Diagnostic value of electrophysiological examinations in infantile spinal muscular atrophy
Journal of Clinical Neurology 2017;30(3):221-223
Objective To explore electrophysiological features of infantile spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), and to evaluate diagnostic value of electrophysiological examinations in patients with SMA.Methods Tweenty-seven SMA children from Jan 2011 to Nov 2015 diagnosed in Wuxi People''s Hospital were enralled.All patients had neurogenic changes by EMG and finally confirmed by genetic test as SMA.Basic clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.Nerve conduction velocity was tested in each patient;While EMG was performed in no less than six muscles in each patient.Results All these patients were characterized by progressive flaccid paralysis in limbs.In all cases, amplitude of CMAP in median nerve was significantly decreased, apparent decreased in ulnar nerve and peroneal nerve;while mild decrease of MCV was appeared in ulnar nerve.Nothing abnormal were detected in sensory nerve conduction.EMG demonstrated neurogenic damage.Conclusion Typical clinical symptoms of infantile SMA are progressive symmetrical loss of muscle control and atrophy in limbs, and specificity electrophysiological representation provides very important basis for the diagnosis.

Objective To explore the feasibility and advantage of the small figure-L unilateral transternal incision for the treatment of anteri or mediastinal tumor. Methods Twenty-four patients with anteri or mediastinal tumor were enrolled in the study. Under general anesthesia, after a 6 to 10 cm midline skin incision was made, a unilateral figure-L partial ste rnotomy on the side occupied by the tumor was made in the second or third interc ostals space, taking into account the tumor size and location. Tumors were resec ted with excellent exposure. Results All tumors were completely resected during the operation. In 8 cases, tumors encroached on the adjacent lu ng tissue, and lung tissue was partially resected. In 6 cases, tumors invaded th e pericardium, and the pericardium was partially removed. Mean operating time wa s 106 minutes (80~125 minutes). The mean time of hospital stay was 5 days after the operation, and there was no complication. All patients were alive with a mea n follow-up period of 14 months (3~24 months). Conclusion The figure-L unilateral mini-sternotomy is considered as an effective and useful mi nimally invasive approach for anterior mediastinal tumors.

Aflibercept is a soluble fusion protein which combines ligand-binding elements taken from the extracellular components of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor-1 and receptor-2 fused to the Fc portion of IgG,and it is a novel antiVEGF drug,which can reduce vascular permeability and inhibit neoangiogenesis by binding VEGF tightly.A large number of phase Ⅲ clinical trials have demonstrated the satisfactory outcomes of aflibercept in the management of neovascular age-related macular degeneration,macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion or macular edema and other retinal vascular diseases.Moreover,intravitreal injection of afiibercept can improve the visual acuity and attenuate the fundus lesion,which provides a new drug option for physicians.The review will summarize the chemical properties of aflibercept and its application,safety and efficacy of aflibercept for the treatment of retinal vascular diseases.

Objective To compare the effects of different opportunity internal fixation in treatment of trau-matic flail chest.Methods Clinical data of 53 cases of patients with traumatic flail chest were selected,in which 28 patients were given internal fixation treatment in 72h after injury (early surgery group),25 patients were given sur-gery after 72h(late surgery group),recovery situation(postoperative ventilation time,chest improve time,ICU stay time,extubation time,hospitalization time)of the two groups were observed,respiratory function changes and compli-cations were compared before and after treatment.Results Postoperative ventilation time,chest X -ray improvement time,ICU stay time,extubation time and hospitalization time of the early operation group were (27.4 ±4.8)h, (88.6 ±7.5)h,(3.8 ±0.7)d,(3.2 ±0.8)d,(13.2 ±5.0)d,which were significantly shorter in the late operation group of (40.7 ±5.2)h,(195.3 ±8.0)h,(5.6 ±1.4)d,(5.2 ±1.3)d,(19.8 ±6.4)d,with significant difference (t =7.389,11.204,3.837,3.916,5.261,all P <0.05 ).After treatment,PaO2 ,PaCO2 ,PaO2 /FiO2 ,RR and HR were all significantly improved (early surgery group t =12.497,6.205,4.136,7.381,14.327,all P <0.05;late sur-gery group t =11.976,5.813,4.649,6.892,14.627,all P <0.05),but the indexes between the two groups were not significantly different(t =0.126,0.013,0.002,0.010,0.215,all P >0.05 ).There was no dead case in the two groups,and the incidence of atelectasis,ARDS and thoracic deformity had no significantly different between two groups (P >0.05 ).Conclusion In treatment of traumatic flail chest,early surgical treatment can rapidly improve the respiratory and circulatory function,it can shorten the postoperative recovery time,and does not increase complica-tions.So,when conditions permit,patients should be given early surgical fixation.

AIM:To investigate the effects of peroxiredoxin 4 ( Prdx4) protein expression levels on the migra-tion and invasion of human cervical cancer HeLa cells.METHODS:The plasmid pcDNA3.0-HA-Prdx4 was transfected into HeLa cells.The HeLa cells were infected with LV-Prdx4 RNAi vector to establish stable Prdx4 shRNA HeLa cells. The change in the expression of Prdx4 protein was validated by Western blotting.The wound-healing assay, and Transwell migration and invasion assays were performed to detect the migration and invasion of HeLa cells, respectively.RESULTS:The expression of Prdx4 protein was up-regulated in the HeLa cells after transfection with pcDNA3.0-HA-Prdx4 plasmid ( P<0.05), whereas it was down-regulated in the Prdx4 shRNA HeLa cells (P<0.05).The abilities of migration and inva-sion were significantly increased in Prdx4-overexpressing HeLa cells compared with non-transfected and mock plasmid trans-fected control groups ( P<0.01) .When Prdx4 was knocked down by shRNA, the migration and invasion of the HeLa cells were remarkably repressed compared with blank control group and negative control group ( P<0.01 ) .CONCLUSION:The up-regulation of Prdx4 expression facilitates the migration and invasion of HeLa cells, and the down-regulation of Prdx4 expression inhibits the migration and invasion of HeLa cells, indicating that Prdx4 may be a potential molecular target for cervical cancer therapy.
