1.Problems in the research of medical humanities and social science in higher medical college and its countermeasures
Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2012;11(5):466-468
Due accomplishments in the research of medical humanities and social science in higher medical college was failed to achieve due to the problems of improper intellectual structure of the researchers,prejudices toward this discipline,non-mainstream,non-profession and poor research environment.This article brings forward three proposals which may improve the research of medical humanities and social science,namly the establishment of independent discipline,the system of training and practice for researchers and the construction of problem-centered interdisciplinary research platform.
2.Disscussion on sjogrens' syndrome of Yang deficiency and the method of warming kidney Yang
International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2013;35(8):707-709
On sjogrens' syndrome (SS) clinical treatment,most of the clinician focused on nourishing Yim to moisten dryness.In fact,Yang qi was the metabolic power of the human body fluid,exerting an important role in the incidence and prognosis of SS.For SS of Yang deficiency syndrome,water,Qi and fire can not be guided back to the kidney was the key cause,therefore,warming kidney Yang should be the therapeutic principle.Modified Yimhuo decoction can be used in its treatment.

Cancer Research and Clinic 2015;27(1):66-69
With the development of mass spectrometry technology and its wide range of applications in the biological field,Veristrat classifier has been applied in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) individualized therapy as well as in other tumors.Oncologists select individualized treatment plan based on peripheral blood veristrat test results.Many trials have verified its guiding role in NSCLC and other tumors' s first line and multi-line individualized therapy.Veristrat classifier provides a new idea and method for individualized treatment of NSCLC and other tumors.
4.The value of MRI in differentiating hepatic epithelioid angiomyolipoma from hepatocellular carcinoma
Journal of Practical Radiology 2017;33(5):711-714,719
Objective To compare the value of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI(DCE-MRI) and diffusion weight-imaging(DWI) in differentiating hepatic epithelioid angiomyolipoma (HEAML) from hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods The MR data of 15 HEAML and 50 HCC proved surgically and pathologically were analyzed retrospectively.The DCE-MRI and DWI were performed preoperatively.The size, location, margin, T1-weighted images(T1WI),T2-weighted images(T2WI) and DWI signal intensity(SI),enhancement pattern, central vessel, early draining vein, pseudocapsule were recorded.The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value was also calculated.The differences of these MR features between two groups were compared statistically.Results There was one lesion in each patient.For all 15 HEAML lesions, early draining vein, central vessel and pseudocapsule were displayed in 8,11 and 6 lesions, respectively.The wash in and slow out enhancement pattern was shown in 10 lesions and wash in and wash out pattern shown in others (5/15).The mean ADC value was (1.15±0.31)×10-3 mm2/s.For all 50 HCC lesions, early draining vein, central vessel and pseudocapsule were displayed in 6,5 and 45 lesions, respectively.29 lesions were shown as wash in and wash out enhancement pattern and the others (21/50) as wash in and slow out pattern.The mean ADC value was (1.23±0.29)×10-3 mm2/s.There were significant differences in these MR features including draining vein, central vessel and pseudocapsule (P<0.05), but no differences in size, location, margin, SI(T1WI, T2WI and DWI), dynamic enhancement pattern, ADC value(P>0.05) between HEAML and HCC.Conclusion DCE-MRI is more helpful in differentiating HEAML from HCC than DWI.

Objectives: To test whether early prophylactic antidepressant treatment by paroxetine has any beneficial influence on the rate of post-stroke depression (PSD) and rehabilitation of stroke patients. Methods: A randomized, placebo controlled study involved 64 consecutive patients admitted to hospital for an acute stroke; they were treated with placebo, paroxetine (20mg/d) respectively. Before and at the end of the observation, we assessed the rate of PSD and activities of daily living (ADL), degree of neurological deficit (modified Edinburgh-Scandinavia scale, MESS) of all the subjects.Results:At the end of 12-week treatment, the treatment group had lower rate of PSD (10.7%) than control (41.4%); and they had lower score in ADL (27.6?4.8/32.8?4.1) and lower score in MESS (11.1?4.3/13.6?3.2).Conclusion:Prophylactic antidepressant treatment by paroxetine can decrease the rate of PSD and improve the neurological function of post-stroke patients.

8.Research of serotonin transporter in the mechanism of abdominal pain in irritable bowel syndrome
Chinese Journal of Digestion 2010;30(6):398-401
Objective To investigate the role of serotonin transporter (SERT) in pathogenesis of abdominal pain in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Methods Neonatal SD rats were divided into control group and IBS abdominal pain model group which was established by colorectal distension.The colon, nucleus raphes dorsalis (NRD) and prefrontal cortex (FC) tissues were harvested when all rats grew into adults. Expressions of SERT and 5-HT were determined by real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry. Results The expression of SERT mRNA in colon, NRD and FC tissues in model and control group were 13.95±2.05 vs 8.65±1.33, 52.69±22.59 vs 13.82±5.71 and0.48±0.17 vs 0.17±0.14, respectively, with significant differences (all P values <0.05). The protein expression of SERT in colon and NRD,but not FC tissues,decreased in model group compared with control group (13.19±3.82 vs 21.35±4.49,2.47±0.44 vs 4.55±0.92, respectively, P<0.05).Meanwhile, in comparison with control group, the expression of 5-HT in colon was significantly increased in model group (5.56±0.48 vs 2.68±0.22), but decreased in NRD and FC tissues (3.75±0.43 vs 7.46±0.72, 5.07 ± 0.80 vs 7.97 ±1.10, respectively, P<0.05). Conclusions Low expression of SERT in brain and colon may attribute to the pathogenesis of abdominal pain in IBS.

Objective To investigate the clinical autopsy results of patients died of cardiovascular disease or other disease complicated with cardiac damage. Methods Complete autopsy was performed on 86 cases with uncertain cause of death. Through integrating clinical diagnosis and treatment with gross autopsy findings and microscopic observations, 86 autopsies were determined the major cause of death. Results In 86 autopsies, 69 cases were heart disease. Differences between pathological diagnosis and clinical diagnosis were compared. Twenty-seven cases were cardiac deaths, with diagnosis accrodance rate of 81. 5%. Fortytwo cases died of non-cardiac disease but complicated with heart disease or involving the heart which accelerated the death in patients, with accordance rate of 78.6%. Conclusion Scientific and correct performance of autopsy was important to determine the causes of death, to promote development of related disciplines and to improve the diagnosis and treatment of the diseases.

AIM To study whether KB-R7943 has selective inhibitory effect on the inward and outward Na+-Ca2+ exchange current (INa-Ca) in guinea pig ventricular myocytes. METHODS Through setting up the model of intracellular Na+-overload during myocardial ischemia and reperfusion, the current-voltage relationship of INa-Ca was recorded using whole-cell patch clamp technique under bi-directional ionic conditions. RESULTS Currents were elicited by a declining ramp pulse depolarized immediately from holding potential of -40 mV to +60 mV, then repolarized to -100 mV at a speed of 80 mV*s-1 and returned to the holding potential under bi-directional ionic conditions, while the [Na+] was 25 mmol*L-1 in the pipette solution. The currents increased time-dependently and voltage-dependently which reached from (2.51±0.15) pA*pF-1 to (5.94±0.13) pA*pF-1 at +50 mV and from (-1.92±0.13) pA*pF-1 to (-3.17±0.16) pA*pF-1 at -80 mV (n=12) after 3 min and there is no significant run-down of the current. KB-R7943 10-6 mol*L-1 was found to decrease the current to (4.62±0.05) pA*pF-1 by 29.4% at +50 mV and to (-2.30±0.18) pA*pF-1 by 22.1% at -80 mV (n=5) after 5 min. While 10-5 mol*L-1 KB-R7943 was shown to decrease the current to (3.13±0.03) pA*pF-1 by 61.7% at +50 mV and to (-1.62±0.03) pA*pF-1 by 56.9% at -80 mV (n=7). CONCLUSION KB-R7943 can block INa-Ca in guinea pig ventricular myocytes. But, it did not show selective inhibition effect on inward and outward currents.
