Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2014;21(8):1172-1174
Objective To investigate the efficacy of Xuebijing injection on the septic shock and its impact on the patient's PCT and CRP.Methods According to the digital table,60 patients with septic shock were divided into two groups according to random number table methods.30 patients in the control group were only given conventional treatment,while the research group were used of Xuebijing injection in addition.The clinical efficacy was compared after treatment and the PCT and CRP levels were detected before and 7d after treatment.The days of hosoitalization were recorded.Results The total effective rate of the study group was 70%,significantly higher than 40% of the control group's (x2 =5.45,P < 0.05),and the study group's PCT and C RP levels were significantly lower than before (t =33.54,48.02,all P < 0.05),after treatment 7d and the extent significantly greater than the control group (t =6.68,7.67,all P < 0.05).Furthermore,the number of days of study group's hospitalization was significantly lower than that of control group(t =10.21,P < 0.05).Conclusion Septic shock treated by Xuebijing injection has a significant effect as well as a greater impact on the PCT and CRP,which is worthy of clinical use.

Journal of Chongqing Medical University 2003;0(06):-
Objectives To localize the initiation site of the transcript driven by the cDNA corresponding to SARS - CoV 5 ' - UTR when it act as a promoter. Methods The plasmid pGI3 -5' - UTR, in which a reporter gene Luc was driven by the cDNA corresponding to SARS - CoV 5' -UTR, was transfected into HepG2 cells, and then the total RNA was extracted. Subsequently, the extracted total RNA was reverse - transcribed using a specific primer and subjected to two turns of semi - nested PCR. The PCR product was cloned into a T - vector for sequencing. Results A 440bps product was harvested by reverse - transcription and two turns of semi - nested PCR, and the 56th nucleotide of SARS - CoV 5 ' - UTR was found being the initiation site, followed downstream with a highly conserved transcription - regulating sequence (TRS). Conclusion The 56th nucleotide and its downstream TRS of SARS - CoV 5 ' - UTR is key roles in regulating gene transcription.
4.Lower Respiratory Tract Infection among Inpatients with Congenital Heart Disease
Chinese Journal of Nosocomiology 2006;0(05):-
OBJECTIVE To find out the situation of peri-operational lower respiratory tract infection in inpatients with congenital heart disease of left to right shunt and provide evidence for clinical prevention and treatment.METHODS Peri-operational lower respiratory tract nosocomial infection in 2 564 cases of congenital heart disease with left to right shunt during Jan 2003 to Dec 2005 was analyzed retrospectively.RESULTS The incidence rate of lower respiratory tract infection was 11.27% among 2 564 cases.The incidence rate was 15.51% in patients less than 2 years old.The most common pathogen was Pseudomonas aeruginosa(18.60%).The death rate in cases with lower respiratory tract nosocomial infection was higher than these non-infection cases.CONCLUSIONS Pulmonary congestion,less than 2 years old,mechanical ventilation and antibiotics abuse are main causes of lower respiratory tract nosocomial infection in patients with congenital heart disease with left to right shunt.Nosocomial infection can increase death rate.
5.Gene therapy of firearm femur defect by using BMP-4/TGF-β1 in rabbits
Chinese Journal of Trauma 2008;24(4):289-293
Objective To observe effects of BMP-4 gene combined with TGF-β1 in repairing rabbit femur defect resulted from firearm wound. Methods The femur defect was made with firearm steel ball. Plasmid encoded BMP-4 gene identified in vitro and TGF-β1 were injected into the tissue of upper, lower and central parts of the defects at the second week after wound. The mRNA and protein expressions of BMP-4 in vivo were detected by real time-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot. Activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and calcium content were measured for evaluating osteogenetic ability. The process and quality of osteogenesis were determined by pathological and X-ray examinations. Results mRNA and protein of BMP-4 could continually express for six weeks in vivo after injection. Activity of ALP in the experimental group was increased to ( 13.17 ±0.51 ) U/100 ml at the 8th week, which was significantly higher than (8.77 ± 0.44) U/100 ml in the control group, indicating that osteogenetic ability was markedly enhanced, which accorded with determination of calcium content. Pathological observation and X-ray proved prominent improvement of osteogenesis, with a shorter time and better quality, in the experimental group. Conclusion BMP-4/TGF-β1 can promote repair of firearm femur defect.
6.Clinical prospect of research on molecular targeted therapy in soft tissue sarcomas
Journal of International Oncology 2010;37(6):461-464
It has been suggested that some unusual molecules and genes might be involved in the development of soft tissue sarcomas (STS) and that drugs targeting specific molecules and genes would selectively kill tumor cells, which have been demonstrated to be more effective approach with less side effect than traditional chemotherapy. However, most of the effective targets of STS are currently not elucidated, and the effects of trial-target therapy are mostly not satisfactory, thus multiple targeting drugs might guide a future direction for tumor therapy.
7.Effect of scopolamine on depression in mice.
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica 2011;46(4):400-5
Based on the report of previous clinical study which showed cholinergic receptor antagonist scopolamine had antidepressant activity, this study was to investigate the antidepressant activity of scopolamine and explore its effective dose in mice, and to evaluate the effect of scopolamine on the central nervous system and learning/memory ability at its antidepressant effective dose. Tail suspension test, forced swimming test, step-down passive avoidance test and open field test were used to evaluate its effects on mice. Compared with the vehicle control group, single-dose administration of scopolamine (0.1-0.4 mg x kg(-1), ip) significantly decreased the immobility time (P < 0.01 or P < 0.001) in tail suspension test, and significantly decreased the immobility time (P < 0.001) in forced swimming test, but had no effect on the step-down latency and errors in step-down passive avoidance test. Scopolamine (0.1 and 0.2 mg x kg(-1), ip) had no influence on the locomotor activity in open field test, while at dose of 0.4 mg x kg(-1) significantly increase the locomotor activity. These results showed that scopolamine produced reliable antidepressant effect at doses of 0.1 and 0.2 mg x kg(-1), without impairment on learning and memory, as well as excitory or inhibitory effect on central nervous system in mice.

Journal of International Oncology 2014;41(5):335-337
The etiology of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is still not very clear.Epigenetics is proved to play an important role in the occurrence and development of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).Detection of epigenetics can serve as molecular index of NPC,and it is advantageous to the prognosis and disease of NPC.Different intervention measures in the epigenetics can be used as a new treatment of NPC,as well as the development of new NPC radiotherapy sensitization agent and new drugs.Study of epigenetics changes in nasopharyngeal carcinoma provides a new idea for the diagnosis and treatment in NPC and so on.
