2.MMP-9 expression in breast cancer metastasis and its clinical significance
International Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2010;33(6):381-384
Matrix metallopmteinase 9(MMP-9) is one kind of matrix metalloproteinases and plays a role in the process of breast cancer metastasis. It can not only degrade the basement membrane and the extracellular matrix around tumor tissue but also promote angiogenesis, even create conditions for the growth of tumors, local invasion and distant metastasis. Current study shows that the over-expression of MMP-9 can significantly speed up the breast lymph node metastasis and the relevant research will provide guidance for clinical treatment and prognosis of breast cancer.

6.Correctly understanding the complexity of diagnosis and treatment of children's open ocular trauma to improve its diagnosis and treatment effect
Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases 2021;37(5):333-337
Open ocular trauma in children is one of the main causes of non-congenital monocular blindness in children. Children’s psychological and daily activities are different from those of adults; the eye tissue structure is not maturely enough, and the characteristics of high response to injury and incompatibility with various diagnostic and treatment methods determine the factors that cause injuries and injuries in children with open ocular trauma. The environment, diagnosis and treatment, and prognosis of children are more complicated than adults. For the emergency of first and second stage on diagnosis and treatment of children with open ocular trauma, it should follow the principles of adult open ocular trauma management, combined with the children's characteristics, clarifying the anatomical location of the ocular trauma before surgery, and closing the wound during the first-stage operation. At the same time, the disturbance of intraocular tissue should be minimized, the timing of the second stage operation and the individualization of the operation design, and the medication and care after the operation should also be combined with the characteristics of children. Prevention of ocular trauma in children is the focus of attention. In the new information era, clinical research and public information platforms should be fully utilized to advance the epidemiological study of children's ocular trauma and guide the construction of the prevention and treatment system for children's ocular trauma more scientifically.

Lipopolysaccharide(LPS) can induce cell inflammation through interacting with TLR4. Recent studies have revealed that MD-2 participate in the process of LPS induced signal transduction pathway by forming a complex with TLR4. After binding to the MD-2 of the TLR4/MD-2 complex, LPS can induce TLR4- oligomerization and activate the downstream signal pathway. After being synthesized, most MD-2 can bind to TLR4 at the endoplasmic reticulum /Golgi apparatus and expresse as TLR4/MD-2 complex at the cellular surface. Therefore MD-2 not only can regulate the distribution of TLR4 in the cytoplasm, but also help TLR4 to recognize LPS. Another part of MD-2 can be released into plasma as soluble MD-2(sMD-2). With the help of CD14, sMD-2 would interact with LPS in the plasma to constitute LPS-sMD-2 complex, helping cell who express only TLR4, to recognize LPS, however excessive expressed sMD-2 would repress the LPS signal transduction pathway. In conclusion, MD-2 plays a crucially modulating role in the process of TLR4 mediated endotoxin recognition and signal transduction.
