Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1989;0(06):-
We only prolongated the course of shock from 2h to 5h, without predi- sposing the dogs. At 5h after hemorrhagic shock, the experimental results were asfollows: The ultrastructural damages were not only detected in the lung but also in theheart, liver, intestine and kidney etc. Major pathological lesions were: swelling of paren-chymal cells in various organs, vacular degeneration, and de-connection of cells. The laterwas shown as disintegration of hepatocyte-conjunction and disappearance of microvilli. Theorganelles of various cells ruptured to different degrees, for example, mitochondria swelledand its crista dissolved, endoplasmic reticulum dilated and de-granulated. In addition, thefibril of cardiac muscle thinned and dissolved, the capillary endothelial tight-conjunctionsof lung and intestine ruptured etc. The quantity of entero-endotoxin in plasma increasedin accordance with prolongation of shock, and its quantity was most abundant in portalvein, the next was artery and the last was hepatic vein. All experimental results showedthat the entero-endotoxin was related to the changes of ultrastructure of various organs.
2.Research progress of cancer metabolism
Journal of International Oncology 2015;(4):277-280
Compared to normal counterparts,cancer cells exhibit metabolic changes owing to both genetic and epigenetic alterations. Some abnormal alterations happen in tumor cells including glycolysis,mito-chondrial biogenesis,glutaminolysis and lipid synthesis. These metabolic changes have great significance to development of tumor and clinical targeted therapies.

China Oncology 2006;0(11):-
Her-2 receptor has already been identified as one of the most important biological markers of some malignant tumors,and also plays an important role in the biological behavior of those tumor cells.The over-expression of Her-2 receptor is associated with radioresistance of various tumor cells,and thus an antibody to Her-2/neu receptor can probably function as a radiosensitizer.In this review,we summarized some advances in the molecular mechanism and clinical aspects of the relationship between Her-2 and cellular radiosensitivity.

Journal of Southern Medical University 2008;28(6):1076-1077
OBJECTIVETo investigate the changes of cardiac T troponin (cTnT) and high-sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP) in children with viral myocarditis (VMC).
METHODSForty children with VMC were examined for cTnT, hs-CRP, and creatine kinase MB (CK-MB) levels.
RESULTSChildren with VMC had significantly higher cTnT, hs-CRP and CK-MB levels than the control group on admission (P<0.01), but obviously decreased after two weeks of treatment. The positivity rate of cTnT and hs-CRP were significantly higher in children with VMC than the control group on admission, and decreased significantly after treatment (P<0.01). The positivity rate of cTnT and hs-CRP were significantly higher than that of CK-MB (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONSerum cTnT and hs-CRP are sensitive indices for diagnosis of VMC, and their detection have important value in estimation of the patients' condition.

Objective To investigate the urinary albumin excretion of the diabetes patients and application value in the monitoring of early impairment in kidney. Methods The random urine samples from diabetes patients and controls within three days were collectod. The changes of urinary albumin excretion within day and between days were analyzed. 24-hour urine albumin was used as a standard to evaluate early kidney damage. The correlations between results of random urine albumin at the different time points and different periods were comparod. The sensitivity and specificity of random urine albumin at the different time points and different periods was evaluated and compared to deduce the best diagnostic porformance of the random urine albumin. Results There are greater variations of the levels of urinary albumin of patients with diabetes and control. After the correction with urine creatinine and urine volume the variations can be reduced (CV:49%±23% and 64%±30%). Urinary albumin excretion rate change rhythmically within the 24 h in healthy and diabetes patients. We found the best correlation between overnight ratio of urinary concentrations of albumin and creatinine (ACR) and 24-hour urinary albumin (R2 = 0.976). It was superior to urina sanguinis (R~2 = 0.900), postprandial urine (R~2 = 0.584) and random urine (R~2 =0.791). When 24 h urinary albumin was taken as the standard, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed there was significant difference between male and female(male 12.8 μg/mg urine creatinine vs female 27.0 μg/mg urine creatinine),and the the cut-off value of ACR was 27.7μg/mg urine creatinine. When the smallest available negative likelihood ratio (0.011) and the greatest positive likelihood ratio (481.000) were obtained,the concentration of 13.0 μg/mg creatinine and 87.4 μg/mg creatinine were set as the cut-off value of ACR. Conclusions The correction with urinary creatinine can reduce the variation between-days compared with urine volume, but still can not completely eliminate the variability. The ACR of overnight urine has the best correlation with the 24 h urinary albumin and can replace 24 h urinary albumin. Random urine as the most convenient collecting urine samples can also replace 24-hour urinary albumin, but the gender discrepancy need to be considered. When the concentration of 13.0 μg/mg and 87.4 μg/mg was set as a random ACR exclusion value and the confirmative value, it can basically rule out and confirm the existence of microalbuminuria.

AIM and METHOD: In terms of difference value between bleeding blood volume that caused hemorrhagic shouk (HS) and residual blood volume at 2 h after HS, showed that HS at 5.3 kPa level was compen- satory and at 4.0 kPa level was decompensatory. Comparing some blood changes between HS two levels and their changes while pretreated with captopril (Capt. ) to reduce the release of angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang-Ⅱ), so as to inveshgate the significance of Ang - Ⅱ during HS. RESULTS: The residual blood volume in 4.0 kPa HS + Capt. group are again from near "zero" value in simple 4.0 kPa HS group. In both two HS level groups found blood dilution and was not influenced by pretreating with Capt.; contents of K+ and aldosterone increased, but Na+ had no changes, in Capt. + HS group, the former two contents reduced and Na+ had no changes comparing with each HS group. In two HS groups, the bind lactate, lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) increased and had more increment in 4.0 kPa HS group. All these changes could be prevented by pretreating with Capt. The blood glucose in 5.3 kPa HS group increased markedly and Capt. had no influence on it, but decreased extremely in 4.0 kPa HS group and Capt. could make it re - increased. CONCLUSIONS: Artery blood pressure (ABP) at 5 .3 kPa level was compensatory HS and ABP at 4 .0 kPa level was decompensatory HS, some changes on decompensatory HS were more serious and severe than compensatory HS, Capt. has protective effects on some changes during HS and could prolong the survival time of decompensatory HS, all that indicated the increment of Aug - Ⅱ is an important pathogenetic factor during HS.

Objective Castleman′s disease ( CD) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder, which has a very high misdiagnosis rate according to its lack of clinical and imaging specificity.The study was to improve the recognition, diagnosis and management of this disease by analyzing the clinicopathological characteristics and concluding diagnosis and treatment as well as literature review. Methods Retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of 31 CD patients (13 males and 18 females) who were hospitalized in the Affiliated Drum Tower Hosipital to Medical college of Nanjing University from January 2006 to Feburary 2014.Their mean age was (47.4 ±13.3) years.There were 24 cases with unicentric Castleman′s disease (UCD) and 7 cases with multicentric Castleman′s disease ( MCD) .UCD tended to be present in the form of an enlarged and painless mass which generally remained asymptomatic by accidental touch or regular physical examination.MCD was usually associated with constitutional symptoms.All the 24 patients with UCD underwent complete surgical resection.7 patients with MCD received different treatment methods, such as surgical resection, ste-riod and rituximab in combination with chemotherapy ( CHOP) . Results Postoperative pathology confirmed 23 cases were hyaline vascular type while 8 were plasma cell type.25 cases had been followed up (46.3 ±32.3) months after operation, among which 1 UCD case died of pancreatic head carcinoma 13 months after operation, 1 case with MCD plus pemphigus died 2 months after surgical resection of retroperitoneal lymphadenectasis, another MCD case died in 1 month without any treatment.The remaining 22 cases were alive. Conclusion CD is lack of clinical specificity and its diagnosis should be made by pathology.Each subtype differ greatly in prognosis, therefore different treatments should be taken after definitive subtype diagnosis.
