Clinical Medicine of China 2014;30(10):1038-1040
Objective To investigate the clinical significance of related inflammatory biomarkers on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) associated mortality,in order to provide the basis for clinical screening of high risk patients.Methods One thousand five hundred cases of outpatients and inpatients from Feb.2012 to Mar.2013 were selected as our subjects.All patients were conducted 15-27 months followup.According to patient outcome,they were divided into survival(1346 cases) and death groups (154 cases).The clinical data,pulmonary function,level of respiratory difficulty and inflammatory biomarker levels were recorded.Results The average age of the death group was (65.3 ± 12.2) years old,significantly higher than that of the survival group ((60.2 ± 11.5) years old,and the difference was significant (t =5.180,P < 0.01).Body mass index(BMI) in death group was (19.8 ±5.4) kg/m2,significantly lower than that of the survival group(23.2 ± 5.6) kg/m2 and the difference was significant (t =7.373,P < 0.01).There was no statistical difference between the two groups in terms of gender (P > 0.05).The levels of 1 s forced expiratory volume (FEV1),FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC),the British Medical Research Council dyspnea scale (MMRC) rating in death group were (1.1 ± 0.4) L,(40.8 ± 8.2) % and (2.8 ± 1.3),significantly lower than those of the survival group((1.5 ±0.5) L,(46.3 ± 11.2) %,(2.1 ± 1.2))..FEV1 and FEV1/FVC of death group were significantly lower than those of the survival group,while the MMRC significantly higher,and the differences were significant (t =9.582,5.914,6.797,P < 0.01).The levels of C-reactive protein(CRP),interleukin-6(IL-6),IL-8,tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),neutrophil levels in death group were (4.8 ± 1.2)mg/L,(154.4 ± 28.6) ng/L,(398.8 ± 86.3) ng/L,(942.6 ± 212.8) ng/L,(6.0 ± 2.8) × 109/L,significantly higher than those of the survival group ((3.4 ± 1.1) mg/L,(112.8 ±23.6) ng/L,(332.7 ± 76.3) ng/L,(1 482.8 ± 223.6) ng/L,(5.1 ± 1.5) × 109/L),and the differences were statistically significant (t =14.818,20.242,10.041,29.684,6.299,P<0.01).Conclusion Inflammatory biomarkers including CRP,IL-6,IL-8,TNF-α and neutrophils are the risk factors of death in patients with COPD.Then clinical attention should be paid to the patients with inflammatory biomarkers for monitoring physical level,in order to guide the clinical screening for high-risk cases,timely take corresponding measures and improve the prognosis.
2.Isolated ultrafiltration for treatment of cardiac insufficiency in patients with acute myocardial infarction
Chinese Journal of Emergency Medicine 2016;25(5):650-653
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of isolated ultrafiltration (IUF) for patients with cardiac insufficiency after acut emyocardial infarction (AMI).Methods The acut emyocardial infarction patients admitted from August 2010 to August 2014 were recruited for study.After primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI),102 patients presented cardiac insufficiency taking the form of hypotension and acute left heart failure.All heart failure patients dealt with routine medications at first,and were then randomly (random number) divided into two groups,group A was routine medication group and group B was isolated ultrafiltration after routine medication group.Data recorded at different intervals in the same group were analyzed by ANOVA.Data recorded from two groups at the same intervals were analyzed by t test.Data of mortality in the two groups were analyzed by x2 test.P value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results Of them,51 patients were treated with routine medication resulting in gradual improvement of cardiac function,but the improvement was slower compared with the isolated ultrafiltration group.Other 51 patients were treated with isolated ultrafiltration,and isolated ultrafiltration was discontinued in 2 patients owing to progressive thrombocytopenia and in another one patient owing to systolic blood pressure below 90 mmHg,with clinical manifestations of organ hypoperfusion,poor peripheral circulation,cool clammy skin and oliguria.In the rest of 48 patients in the isolated ultrafiltration group,vital signs were stable,and heart failure symptoms and serum electrolytes improved significantly (P <0.05).After one week of using isolated ultrafiltration,left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) also improved (P < 0.05).The differences in mortality within one month,the mean ICU stay,the mean hospitalized stay,and the rate of recurrent heart failure were significant between the two groups (P < 0.05)Conclusions The isolated ultrafiltration is a relatively safe and effective strategy for patients with cardiac insufficiency and hypotension after acut emyocardial infarction.
3.Force system of teeth produced by utility arch and rocking-chair arch for the orthodontic treatment of deep overbite analyzed by finite element method
Journal of Practical Stomatology 2014;(6):796-799
Objective:To study the force system of teeth produced by utility arch and rocking-chair arch for the treatment of deep o-verbite.Methods:Finite element model of mandible,mandible teeth,edgewise brackets and arch was established,utility arch and rocking chair arch were applied respectively,the force direction and magnitude of molars and incisors was analyzed by ANSYS.Re-sults:When utility arch was used,incisors bear intrusive force and molars bear extrusive force.With the utility arch wire was giving intrusive force to canine,the intrusive force to incisors reduced,the extrusive force to the first molars increased.When adding the bracketed teeth,the intrusive force to incisors increased,but the extrusive force to the canines and the force direction of the molars changed.Conclusion:While the utility arch exerts intrusive pressing force to the canines,the intrusive force to the lateral incisors de-crease,therefore,pressing of canines shall be independently completed after completing pressing of incisors.Different application methods of rocking-chair arches will produce different force to teeth.With addition of teeth applied with rocking-chair arch,the force to lateral incisors and molars changes the most.

World Science and Technology-Modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2013;(8):1811-1814
This study was conducted under the background of the internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) terminology. Current TCM symptom terminology related to sweat was taken as basis in the extended study. The ICD classification of multiple axis and hierarchical level was used as guidance thought. This paper proposed the principle of detailed classification of TCM sweat symptoms and finally made classification rules for TCM sweatsymptoms. This study has promoted the development of TCM terminology standardization.

8.Inhibition of human lung carcinoma-associated antigen gene (ALT04-AG) expression on human lung carcinoma cell line growth and gene expression profile
Basic & Clinical Medicine 2006;0(10):-
Objective To study the effect of inhibition of human lung carcinoma-associated antigen gene(ALT04-AG) expression on the growth characteristic and associated gene expression of human lung carcinoma cells(L78).Methods L78 cells were transfected with recombinant plasmid vector expressing(ALT04-AG) antisense RNA mediated by liposome reagent,and treated with DFMO respectively. The growth characteristics were studied by MTT,FCM analysis.The associated gene expression was detected by immunocytochemical staining,Northern blot and gene chip analysis.Results The recombinant plasmid expressing ALT04-AG antisense RNA pALT04-AG as constructed.It was shown that the down-regulation of ALT04-AG gene expression was observed not only in pALT04-AG as transfected L78 cells,but also in DFMO-treated L78 cells,which resulted in growth inhibition of these cells.Gene chip analysis indicated that inhibition of(ALT04AG) gene expression by ALT04-AG antisense RNA regulated some proliferation associated gene expression,while inhibition of polyamine biosynthesis by DFMO regulated proliferation associated genes and also some apoptosis associated genes.Conclusion It is suggested that human lung carcinoma associated antigen gene ALT04-AG plays an essential role in maintaining malignant phenotype of cancer cells.
