Journal of International Oncology 2017;44(7):541-543
Non-coding small RNA mainly includes microRNA, small interfering RNA and RNA interacting with PIWI protein.Studies have shown that non-coding small RNA plays an increasingly important role in the epigenetic regulation.Non-coding small RNA is involved in the regulation of gene expression by gene transcription, post-transcription and mRNA translation.Non-coding small RNA is closely related to many human diseases, especially the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of melanoma.
4.Exploration on Two Different Teaching Methods of Medical Cell Biology
Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2003;0(03):-
Cell biology is a basic medical subject,and one of earliest learned subjects concerning medical science. The teacher's teaching methods will directly influence students' interest and score. In the article we have compared the two teaching methods, the traditional method regarding teachers as dominating part and self-teaching method regarding teachers as subordinate part. The conclusion has showed that the self-teaching method can improve students' score and easily be accepted by students, compared with traditional teaching method. However,it can not be used too frequently.
5.Clinical analysis on 26 cases of imaging understated breast cancer
Journal of Endocrine Surgery 2014;8(5):380-382,389
Objective To analyze the clinical data,radiological and pathological features of breast cancer which were understated by image,and summarize the causes.Methods The clinical features,radiological features and pathological data of 26 cases of breast cancer were retrospectively analyzed.The preoperative ultrasound and mammography BI-RADS grades of these 26 cases were both ≤ 3,and they were confirmed to be breast cancer by pathology.The clinical and pathological data of 1224 cases of breast cancer in the same period were compared.Results For the 26 cases,100% were early breast cancer,100% were HER2 negative breast cancer,and only 1 case had lymph node metastasis.26% were special type of breast cancer.Mammography showed glandular multi type,and ultrasound showed atypical or typical benign features.Conclusions Breast cancer understated by image shows features of young age,early stage,well differentiated,low malignant degree,not easy to be visualized by mammography,and their ultrasound features are usually atypical.In clinical setting,analysis of the ultrasound and mammography images should be combined with other examination,to decrease misdiagnosis rate.
6.Effect of ego depletion and emotion regulation on students' health consumption choice
Journal of Shanghai Jiaotong University(Medical Science) 2017;37(5):676-678
Objective · To test the effect of ego depletion and emotion regulation on students' health consumption choice, according to online social network. Methods · The undergraduate students in a university in East China were taken as the researchobject. Public health psychology experiments were designed, using Stroop priming the extent of ego depletion, and SSEIT measuring the extent of emotional regulation. Results · When participants experienced high level ego depletion, for those who possessed weak emotional regulation capability, they were more inclined to select less healthy food(77% vs 18%, χ2=15.40, P=0.000). For those who possessed strong emotional regulation capability, there was no significant difference on food choice between those who experienced high level ego depletion and those who experienced low level ego depletion (40% vs 27%, χ2=0.91, P=0.340).For participants who experienced high level ego depletion, compared to those who overcame ego depletion and those who experienced low level ego depletion, were moreinclined to select less healthy product (69% vs 23%, χ2=11.10, P=0.001), while there was no significant difference between those who experienced low level ego depletion and those who overcame ego depletion (32% vs 23%, χ2=0.51, P=0.470). Conclusion · When students experienced different level ego depletion, they chose different healthy consumption choice because of the different capability of emotional regulation. For students who possessed weak emotional regulation capability, they should be encouraged to choice healthy consumption, and interesting show should be organized to bring them positive emotion. They should also be encouraged to do long-term physical training to overcome the sensitivity tofatigue. Finally, They should be informed to realize the healthy consumption by active communication and interaction such as like, share and comment in social media.

Acta Medicinae Universitatis Scientiae et Technologiae Huazhong 2001;30(2):165-167
The erythrocyte complement receptor 1 (ECR1) activity and CR1 quantitative genotype distribution were studied and the mechanisms of decreased ECR1 activity in cerebral infarction revealed. By using red blood cell yeast rosette test ECR1 activities were measured and by using PCR-RFLP CR1 Hind Ⅲ genomic polymorphism detected in the patients with cerebral infarction and healthy controls. The results showed that the level of C3bRR was decreased and the level of CICRR increased in the patients with cerebral infarction as compared with healthy controls (both P<0.05). CR1 quantitative genotype distribution in the patients with cerebral infarction was differed significantly from that of healthy controls (P<0.05). It was concluded that the decrease of ECR1 activity in the patients with cerebral infarction was correlated with CR1 Hind Ⅲ genomic polymorphism.
