2.Effect of Pi transportation, dampness resolving and phlegm expelling herbs on the obesity degree, fat hormones, and leptin resistance in diet-induced obesity rats.
Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine 2014;34(8):997-1002
OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of Pi transportation, dampness resolving and phlegm expelling herbs (PTDRPEH) on the obesity degree, fat hormones, and leptin resistance in diet-induced obesity (DIO) rats.
METHODSAmong the 120 Wister rats, 10 were recruited as the blank control group (fed with basal forage), and the remaining 110 were administered with high-fat high-nutrition forage for 17 weeks. According to weight, we obtained 40 DIO rats and 10 diet-induced obesity resistance (DIO-R) rats. DIO rats were further divided into four groups, i.e., the DIO model group (normal saline, at the daily dose of 2 mL), the sibutramine group (at the daily dose of 1.6 mg/kg), the dampness resolving and phlegm expelling group (DRPE, at the daily dose of 3.2 g/kg), and the Pi transportation group (PT, at the daily dose of 3.2 g/kg). All were given by gastrogavage. Normal saline (2 mL) was given by gastrogavage to rats in the blank control group and the DIO-R group. The basal forage was administered to rats in the blank control group, while high fat forage was continually given to rats in the remaining five groups. Their body weights and body lengths were measured after 16 weeks of gastrogavage. All intra-abdominal fat was taken out to measure the degree of obesity and fat contents. Insulin resistance index (IRI), blood glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol, leptin, neuropeptide Y (NPY), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), and adiponectin were detected after blood withdrawing. Leptin, TNF-alpha, adiponectin, suppressors of cytokine signaling-3 (SOCS-3), and other relevant adipose hormones and inflammatory cytokines were examined in the fat homogenate.
RESULTSCompared with the blank control group, DIO model rats' body weight, body mass index (BMI), fat factor, IRI, serum leptin, TNF-alpha, and SOCS-3 significantly increased (P < 0.05, P < 0.01); serum NPY, serum leptin, and adiponectin decreased (P < 0.05). Leptin increased and NPY decreased in DIO-R model rats. Compared with the DIO group, DIO-R model rats' body weight, BMI, fat factor, IRI, serum NPY, TNF-alpha, and SOCS-3 all decreased (P < 0.05, P < 0.01); leptin and adiponectin in serum and the fat homogenate all increased (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). After intervention with Sibutramine, rats' body weight, BMI, fat factor, and TNF-alpha in the fat homogenate obviously decreased (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Serum TNF-alpha decreased, leptin and adiponectin increased in rats of the DRPE group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). BMI, fat factor, IRI, leptin, and SOCS-3 showed a decreasing tendency, but with no statistical difference (P > 0.05). The body weight, BMI, fat factor, IRI, TNF-alpha, and SOCS-3 all decreased in the PT group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01); leptin and adiponectin in the serum and the fat homogenate increased (P < 0.05, P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONSSibutramine could reduce body weight and TNF-alpha in the adipose tissue. Herbs of PT could inhibit fat diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance (IR), with superior effect to herbs of DRPE. Its mechanism might be closely related to promoting leptin and adiponectin secreted by fat, reducing leptin resistance, and elevating serum levels of leptin and adiponectin.

Clinical Medicine of China 2011;27(3):279-281
Objective To assess the pulmonary function before liver transplantation in patients with end-stage liver disease. Methods One hundred and fifty-four patients with end-stage liver disease, who were waiting for liver transplantation in our hospital, were enrolled into the study. The pulmonary ventilation function,small airway function and diffusion capacity were measured and analyzed respectively. Results Among 154 subjects,140 (90. 9%, 140/154) patients had abnormal pulmonary function, shown as pulmonary diffusing capacity reduction;followed by restrictive ventilatory function reduction (42. 8% ,66/154) and small airway function reduction (37. 7%, 58/154 ), the least common manifestation was obstructive ventilatory function reduction (28.6 % ,44/154 ). Conclusion Abnormal pulmonary function in patients with end-stage liver disease is common, and the pulmonary function tests before liver transplantation has certain referential value for pulmonary function damage evaluation and postoperatively respiratory tract management.
7.Clinical analysis of 48 cases with atypical endometrial hyperplasia
Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2011;30(6):495-497
Objective To evaluate the role of the fractional dilatation and curettage (D&C) in the diagnosis of atypical hyperplasia of endometrium. Methods The retrospective analysis was performed in 48 patients diagnosed as atypical hyperplasia of endometrium and treated in our hospital from Aug.2009 to Dec.2010. We compared the pathology results of D&C with hysterectomy specimens, and investigated the reasons for the difference. Results The six patients (12.5%) with mild atypical hyperplasia of endometrium still presented with significant pathological changes after D&C (χ2 = 5.90, P<0.05), 11 cases (22.9%) in 14 patients(29.2%) with moderate atypical hyperplasia (χ2=0.49, P>0.01), 18 cases (100%) in patents with serious atypical hyperplasia, among which even 8 patients (44.4%) were verified as endometrial cancer. Conclusions There exists pathological discrepancy between the fractional D&C and hysterectomy specimens. Patients with severer atypical hyperplasia may have a higher risk of developing endometrial cancer.

International Eye Science 2015;(2):289-291
To study the antioxidative stress effect of probucol for nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy. METHODS: Sixty - eight clinic patients with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy were selected from January, 2012 to August, 2013. According to the random number table, the patients were divided into control group and observation group, the control group was received conventional medicine for hypoglycemic therapy, and the observation group was given probucol (0. 375g, twice daily) on the basis of control group. All patients were followed up for average 11. 58 ± 0. 17mo. At the same time 16 healthy volunteers matched with baseline were collected as normal control group. Changes in fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, the staging progress rate and the remission rate of diabetic retinopathy, and indicators related to oxidative stress, such as, total antioxide capacity ( TAOC ) , superoxide dismutase ( SOD ) , and methane dicarboxy aldehyde ( MDA ) , of two groups of patients before and after therapy were observed.RESULTS: Fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, and glycosylated hemoglobin of patients in two groups before and after therapy showed no significant changes, and the differences had no statistical significance. The staging remission rate and the progress rate of diabetic retinopathy of the control group after therapy were 3% and 19% respectively. The staging remission rate and the progress rate of diabetic retinopathy of the observation group after probucol therapy were 18% and 5% respectively. ln comparison with the control group, the difference had statistical significance (P<0. 05). TAOC, SOD, MDA of the control group before and after therapy had no obvious change, but TAOC, SOD of the observation group after therapy had significantly increased, and MDA had significantly decreased ( P < 0. 05 ), with statistical significance in comparison with the changes of the patients in the control group after therapy (P<0. 05).CONCLUSlON:Probucol can improve the antioxidative stress status of the patients with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy, and enhance the therapeutic effect of the patients with diabetic retinopathy.
9.S-1 as first-fine treatment for advanced gastric cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2014;41(3):211-213
Patients with advanced gastric cancer lose the surgical indications.Chemotherapy can improve the overall survival and quality of life,which is the main treatment option.But there is no standard chemotherapy regimen for the patients with advanced gastric cancer.Since its initial approval,S-1 is widely used in gastric cancer.Several studies were performed to explore combinations of S-1 with other cytotoxic drugs such as platinum,docetaxel,paclitaxel,and irinotecan.All these combinations were found to be promising,with response rates of around 40%-50% and relatively favorable safety profiles.
10.Chronic sublethal hypoxia: challenge to premature brain in structual and neurological development
International Journal of Pediatrics 2010;37(1):84-87
With the advance of modern neonatal management, the increase of survival of infants born with ELBW has resulted in collateral increase in incidence of infants with serious chronic lung disease, typically brnchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Long-term sensory, motor and cognitive impairments are common outcomes in survivals with moderate and severe BPD and may persist during school years and adolescence. Increasing evidence suggest that BPD exerts a significant effect on brain growth and development and may be associated with chronic sublethal hypoxia which compond the risk of extended brain injury and NS complications such as cerebral palsy. Animal studies have demonstrated progressive gliosis and cerebral ventriculomegaly, injured subcortical white matter and corpus callosum, dysynchrony synaptic development and disrupted neurotransmitssion in the hypoxia newborn brain. In this literature we built upon the review of neurogical and congnitive outcome in preterm infants with BPD and structural, functional and neurochemical alterations in ainimals following clinical and experimental hypoxia respectively, which may underlie the primary or potential mle for chronic sublethal hypoxia on premature brain development.
