1.Advances in clinical treatment of MALT lymphoma
Chinese Journal of Radiation Oncology 2017;26(8):956-960
Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma often occurs in the stomach as well as the head and neck.This disease has characteristics of multi-site dissemination and indolent development,and about 80% of MALT lymphoma patients are in early stage.Helicobacter pylori (Hp) eradication is the main method for treating early-stage Hp-positive gastric MALT lymphoma.For patients with other types of early-stage MALT lymphoma and those with gastric MALT lymphoma who failed Hp eradication therapy,radiotherapy has a good clinical effect.In recent years,radiotherapy target volume has changed from the involved field to the involved site,and the dose has been decreased.This article provides a review of the above aspects.

Ophthalmology in China 2006;0(06):-
Objective To observe the curative effect of surgical treatment for eyelid basal cell carcinoma. Design Retrospective case series. Participants 33 cases with eyelid basal cell carcinoma. Methods 33 cases with eyelid basal cell carcinoma treated with surgery, standard excision in 17 case and Mohs micro excision in 16 cases were analyzed, postoperative appearance and function of re- eonstruetiiv eyelid, reeurence rate and survival rate were observed by follow-up survey. Main Outcome Measures Postoperative ap- pearance, function of reconstruetiiv eyelid, recurence rate and survival rate. Results After 6 month ~ 5 years follow-up survey with an average of 2.5 years, 28 of 29 cases obtained normal eyelid appearance, 1 case with lower eyelid gentle ectropium. 11 cases showed hy- perpigmentation in skin-grafting area in early stage, and became normal in half a year. Eyelid function of 29 cases were normal. Tumour relapse was seen in one case 2 years after standard resection,the cure rate was 94.12%. No tumor relapse was seen in group of mohs micro resection, the cure rate was 100%. Within five years postoperation, there was no death case caused by basal cell carcinoma re- lapse, except one dying from myocardial infarction and another dying of eerebrovaseular disease. Conclusions Operational excision is an effective approach for eyelid basal cell carcinoma. The effect of mohs micro resection is better than the one of standard resection. With dissociate skin grafting, fluctuate tarsal transmigration and dissociate skin grafting, eyelid appearance and function recover well.
3.Analysis on corneal spherical aberration in patients with cataract in Kaifeng area
International Eye Science 2016;16(11):2133-2135
AIM:To find out the mean corneal spherical aberration and its changes with age in Kaifeng population.
METHODS: A total of 466 eyes of 427 Kaifeng subjects with cataract, whose age ranged from 52 to 75 years old, were divided into three groups according to the age. All the subjects were included in measuring K-readings of cornea, the corneal anterior and posterior surfaces of the spherical aberration and the total corneal spherical aberration using Pentacam(Oculus, Germany) at the 6-mm optical zone.
RESULTS:The mean corneal spherical aberration( CSA) of the whole groups was 0. 339±0. 153μm. Patients from 50 to 60 years old had CSA of 0. 322±0. 137μm, 0. 326±0.157μm was the CSA of the patients from 60 to 70 years old, while those from 70 to 80 years old have a CSA of 0.401 ± 0. 182μm. The corneal K - readings had no correlation with the total corneal spherical aberration ( r=0. 034, P>0. 05), anterior surfaces CSA, posterior surfaces and total CSA were positively correlated with age ( r =0.253, 0. 327, 0. 233, all P<0. 01).
CONCLUSION:CSA is varied among the population and CSA of elderly in Kaifeng area are slightly higher than white people, and positively correlated with age.
4. Design and application of fiberoptic bronchoscopy training box
Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2010;29(6):691-693
Objective: To design and prepare a fiberoptic bronchoscopy training box and to study its primary application. Methods: According to the length of optical fiber, the height, the length and the width of the box were set at 400 mm, 200 mm and 200 mm. The box contained 6 layers from the top to the bottom: the top-layer, layer-A, layer-B, layer-C, layer D and the bottom layer, with the area of each layer being 200 mm × 200 mm and the distance between each 2 layers was about 80 mm. According to the diameter of optical fiber, the diameter of the holes was set at 6 mm. Except for the bottom-layer, the other 5 layers had different numbers of holes: the top-layer and layer-A only had a central hole(central hole in every layer was defined as hole-0), layer B had 5 holes(hole-0 to 4), layer C had 9 holes(hole-0 to 8), layer D had 17 holes(hole-0 to 16). The training started from the top-layer. The orders were given according to the layers and the numbers of the holes and the orders were executed, then the box was open to examine the outcome of the execution. Results: We successfully designed a fiberoptic bronchoscopy training box. If the training instruction order was A0-B2-C4-D7, the trainees should manipulate the optical fiber via the central hole in top-layer and layer-A, hole-2 in layer B, hole 4 in layer-C, and hole-7 in layer-D. The results of manipulation can be examined after opening the door. Conclusion: The fiberoptic bronchoscopy training box is a easy-to-operate and practical tool for training of fiberoptic bronchoscopy manipulation.

Objective: To study influence of acute hypoxia on the current of voltage-gated potassium channel (IK) in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC) of rats. Methods: A total of 20 male SD rats were randomly and equally divided into normoxic control group and acute hypoxia group. The rats in acute hypoxia group were kept in hypoxic chamber for 8 h before experiment. Whole cell patch-clamp technique was used to record IK in PASMC. Results: Acute hypoxia significantly decreased the IK density in PASMC of rats. During -60mV to -10mV of resting membrane potential(RMP), acute hypoxia did not significantly decrease peak IK density in PASMC of rats, P>0.05; At 0 mV, acute hypoxia significantly decreased the peak IK density in PASMC [from(38.1 ± 5.2) pA / pF decreased to(9.82 ± 2.1) pA / pF ,P<0.05], then along with RMP increase in PASMC, the decreasing amplitude of peak IK density in PASMC gradually increased(P<0.05); From + 30 mV to+ 60 mV, the decreasing amplitude of peak IK density in PASMC further significantly increased(P<0.01); At + 60 mV the peak IK density decreased from(38.1 ± 5.2) pA / pF to(9.82 ± 2.1) pA / pF , and the decreasing amplitude reached (46.8±3.3)%. Conclusion: Acute hypoxia can decrease Kv current in PASMC of rats, leading to hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction.

Academic Journal of Xi'an Jiaotong University 2009;21(2):124-128
Objective: To investigate the changes of the cell cycle regulators ATM, Chk2 and p53 and cell cycle arrest in HeLa cells after cisplatin therapy. Methods: The proliferation-inhibiting rates of HeLa cells induced by cisplatin of different concentrations were measured by MTT assays. The mRNA and protein expressions of ATM, Chk2 and p53 of HeLa cells with and without cisplatin were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. The cell cycle analysis was conducted by flow cytometric analysis. Results: Cisplatin inhibited the proliferation of HeLa cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The mRNA and protein expressions of ATM, Chk2 and p53 were increased in HeLa cells treated with cisplatin. The cell cycle was arrested in G2/M phase in HeLa cells treated with cisplatin. Conclusion: Activation of ATM, Chk2 and p53 might be critical in determining whether cells survive or undergo apoptosis. Targeting ATM, Chk2 and p53 pathway might be a promising strategy for reversing chemoresistance to cisplatin in cervical cancer.

Objective: To explore whether resveratrol can reduce intestinal damage in hemorrhagic shock rats and the underlying mechanism. Methods: A total of 24 Sprague-Dawley rats of speciif c pathogen free (SPF) were randomly divided into a control group(n=8), a resveratrol group (SR group,n=8) and a vehicle group (SS group,n=8). hT e mean arterial pressure was recorded. Two hours atf er hemorrhagic shock, 15 mg/kg resveratrol or 0.3 mL equal volume of vehicle and autologous blood were given, respectively. The intestinalspecimens were collected for hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and calculated the pathological score. The superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) and cytochrome C (Cyt C) protein expression was examined by immunohistochemistry and/or Western blot. ATP level, activities of glutathione peroxidase (GXH-px), catalase (CAT) and SOD were also detected. Results: Two hours atfer autologous blood transfusion, the mean arterial pressure in the SR group was signiifcantly higher than that in the SS group (P<0.01). Compared with the SS group, the pathological injury was signiifcantly alleviated and pathological scores were dramatically reduced in the SR group (P<0.05). hTe activities of GXH-px, CAT, SOD and the ATP levels in the SR group were signiifcantly higher than those in the SS group (allP<0.01). Compared with the SS group, the SOD2 expression was significantly higher while the Cyt C expression was dramatically lower in the SR group (both P<0.01). Conclusion: Resveratrol could alleviate the intestinal injury in hemorrhagic shock rats, which might be associated with its effects on reduction of oxidative stress and protection of mitochondria.

At present, the percutaneous transhepatic cholangiodrainage (PTCD) and the self-expandable metal stent implantation are commonly recognized as an effective treatment for inoperable malignant biliary obstruction, but the restenosis of biliary stent significantly affect the therapeutic result and prognosis.Percutaneous transhepatic intraductal radiofrequency ablation can be used together with biliary stent implantation, which can prolong the patency time of biliary stent and control the local tumor at the narrowed segment, thus, the therapeutic effect of malignant biliary obstruction can be reliably improved. As a kind of newly-developed therapy, its clinical safety is especially important. This paper aims to make a review about the safety of percutaneous transhepatic intraductal radiofrequency ablation combined with biliary stent implantation in treating malignant biliary obstruction.
