Objective To study the effect of gastrin, motilin of chronic atrophic gastritis model in rats by acupuncturing at back-shu points. Methods 60 SD rats were randomly divided into blank control group, model control group, omeprazole group, back-shu points group, with 15 rats in each group, and to establish the model of chronic atrophic gastritis by irregular diet that given rats odd and even days. The blank control group, model control group were fed with normal saline, 2ml/time, 1 time/day. The omeprazole group was given oral gavage(Omeprazole 0.44 mg/kg, Clarithromycin 6.92 mg/kg, Metronidazole 7.6 mg/kg), 1 time/day. Back-shu points group received acupuncture at “Geshu”“Ganshu”“Pishu”“Weishu”“Shenshu”, retaining 15 min, 1 time/day. After 30 days, the content of ELSIA was used to detect the serum gastrin, motilin. Results ①GAS of model control group(54.25±5.70)pg/ml was significantly decreased compared with blank control group(66.63± 5.99)pg/ml, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Compared with the model control group, GAS content of omeprazole group(62.70±8.55)pg/ml and back-shu Points group(66.27±3.79)pg/ml were higher, showed significant differences(P<0.05). ②MOT of model control group(223.60±17.83)pg/ml was significantly increased compared with the blank control group(188.45 ± 8.90)pg/ml, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). MOT of omeprazole group(200.16 ± 4.38)pg/ml and back-shu Points group(190.11±10.04)pg/ml were lower than those in the model control group, there was statistically significant difference(P<0.05). Conclusion Acupuncturing at back-shu acupoints can increase the content of GAS, reduce content of MOT, regulate gastrointestinal hormone in rats of chronic atrophic gastritis model.

Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 2011;42(8):1467-1472
Objective: To study the constituents from the sea cucumber Holothuria nobilis. Methods: The compounds of the sea cucumber were separated by multi-chromatography and their structures were elucidated by physico-chemical and spectral analyses. Results: Two new triterpene glycosides were isolated and their structures have been deduced by extensive spectral analysis (IR, 2D-NMR, and ESI-MS) and chemical structures as 3-O-{3″″-O-methyl-β-D- glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-D- quinovopyranosyl-(1→2)-4′-O-sulfate-β-D-xylopyranosyl} -holosta-22, 25-epoxy-9-ene-3β, 12α, 17α, 25β-tetraol- sodium salt (nobiliside I, 1) and 3-O-{β-D-quinovopyranosyl-(1→2) 4′-O-sulfate-β-D-xylopyranosyl}-holoshillaside 18 (16)-lactone-22, 25-epoxy-9-ene-3β, 12α, 17α-triol sodium (nobiliside II, 2). Conclusion: Two aglycons are both new compounds named nobiliside I and nobiliside II.

5.HOXA5 gene and tumor
Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(9):652-656
As a member of homeobox gene family,HOXA5 is expressed in many organs and can regulate gene expression,cell differentiation and morphogenesis.Its structure and (or) function abnormalities are closely related to the development of leukemia,breast cancer,brain hemangioma,hepatocellular carcinoma and so on.Researching the relationships between HOXA5 and tumors contributes to cancer diagnosis,treatment and prevention.
6.Advances in studies on the application of platelet-rich plasma in the field of orthopedicsand the underlying mechanisms
International Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2008;31(5):297-301
Platelet-rich plasma(PRP) is a highly-concentrated plasma enriched in platelets and various growth factors. These growth factors will be released abundantly by platelets when PRP is activated by thrombin, which plays a key role in accelerating wound healing, bone repair, and meanwhile, in controlling of inflammatory process. Biocompatibility and versatility of PRP have been confirmed in clinical studies as well as its excellent effects on tissue reparation. These have lead to the extensive use of PRP in many medical fields as a therapeutic alternative. Mechanism of PRP in bone and tissue repair the application of PRP in the field of orthopedics is reviewed in this article. In addition, attempt is made to discuss about some problems still existing in the clinical application of PRP.
8.Pathogenesis and new therapeutic targets of liver fibrosis
Journal of Clinical Hepatology 2017;33(3):409-412
In recent years,the basic research on liver fibrosis has been progressed rapidly.This article briefly reviews the cellular and molecular mechanisms of liver fibrosis,including the origin of myofibroblasts,immune regulation,autophagy,and epigenetic regulation,and introduces several new therapeutic targets.More and more evidences show that successful removal of causes is the most important antifibrotic therapy.At present,although the antifibrotic drugs acting on different targets have been emerging,most of them are still in the early stage of research and development,and well-designed clinical trials are needed to confirm their clinical efficacy.

Journal of Xi'an Jiaotong University(Medical Sciences) 2017;38(1):131-135
ABSTRACT:Objective To observe the influence of Osthole on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and its acting mechanism.Methods We randomly divided 50 SD rats into sham (Sham)group,ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI)group and Osthole (25,50,and 100 mg/kg)(Osthole)groups (n=10).The neurological symptoms, extent of cerebral infarction and cerebral water content were evaluated by physical approach.The activities of ROS and ATP were examined by the kit;the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP ) was measured by flow cytometry.The expressions of Bax,Bcl-2,Caspase3,clevage-Caspase3,Caspase9,clevage-Caspase9,cytoplasmic AIF and cytochrome C were measured by Western blotting.Results Compared with those in sham group,the extent of cerebral infarction and cerebral water content,changes of neurological symptoms,activities of ROS,and expressions of clevage-Caspase3 ,clevage-Caspase9 ,Bax,cytoplasmic AIF and cytochrome C in IRI group were significantly increased (P<0.05).However,the activities of ATP,expressions of Caspase3,Caspase9,Bcl-2 and MMP,and ATP activity were decreased (P<0.05).Compared with those in IRI group,the extent of cerebral infarction and cerebral water content,changes of neurological symptoms,activities of ROS,and expressions of clevage-Caspase3 ,clevage-Caspase9 ,Bax,cytoplasmic AIF and cytochrome C in Osthole group were significantly decreased (P<0.05).But the activities of ATP,expressions of Caspase3,Caspase9,Bcl-2 and MMP,and ATP activities were increased (P < 0.05 ). Conclusion Osthole pretreatment can attenuate cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury,which is associated with suppressing mitochondria-mediated apoptosis.
