3.Research progress on Sprouty protein in tumor
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2016;43(8):358-360
The Sprouty protein can inhibit cel proliferation and induce apoptosis by specific interventions in the signaling pathways of tumor cells, such as receptor tyrosine kinase signaling pathway. The Sprouty protein, which is often associated with abnormal cell proliferation and transformation, is down-regulated in many tumors, stimulating the initiation and progression of tumors. The Sprouty protein exhibits potential for developing effective treatment against cancer. This paper reviews research progress on Sprouty protein in tumor.

ObjectiveTo compare the difference effects on the proximal stomach in rapid(intake rate 100 mL/min) and slow(intake rate 15 mL/min) LNLT.Methods Forty healthy subjects received both the rapid and slow LNLTs.The caloric density of the nutrient was 1 kcal/mL. The TVDRI and MVDRI were recorded,and the corresponding TVPS and MVPS were measured by B-ultrasound.Results(1) There were positive correlation was identified between TVDRI and TVPS,and between MVDRI and MVPS in both slow and rapid LNLTs.(2) TVDRI and MVPS in slow LNLT were significantly smaller than those in rapid LNLT,but MVDRI was significantly larger in slow LNLT than that in rapid LNLT.(3) TVDRI was much closer to TVPS in slow LNLT than those in rapid LNLT.But MVDRI was much closer to MVPS in rapid LNLT than those in slow LNLT.Conclusion Both slow and rapid LNLTs could be used to evaluate the accommodation to a meal and visceral sensitivity of the proximal stomach.The visceral sensitivity is related to the accommodation function.TVDRI of slow LNLT is more sensitive in estimating the visceral sensitivity of the proximal stomach;MVDRI of rapid LNLT is more accurate in estimating the accommodation of the proximal stomach.
5.Occlusion on implants---Is there a problem?
Journal of Practical Stomatology 2015;(2):266-277
Oral rehabilitation restores form and function and impacts on general health.Teeth provide a discriminating sense of touch and directional specificity for occlusal perception,management of food with mastication and swallowing,and awareness of its texture and hard-ness.Peripheral feedback for control of jaw muscles includes the enamel-dentine-pulp complex and mechanoreceptors in the periodontal tis-sues.The implications of feedback from periodontal and other intra-oral mechanoreceptors as well as changes in central representation are significant for function and adaptation to oral rehabilitation.With implants,in the absence of the periodontium and periodontal mechanore-ceptor feedback,fine motor control of mastication is reduced,but patients are still able to function adequately.Further,there is no signifi-cant difference in function with full-arch fixed prostheses on teeth in comparison with implants.Predictable implant outcomes depend on bone support.Optimum restoration design appears to be significant for bone remodelling and bone strains around implants with occlusal loading. Finite element analysis data confirmed load concentrations at the coronal bone around the upper section of the implant where bone loss is com-monly observed clinically.Load concentration increased with steeper cusp inclination and broader occlusal table and decreased with central fossa loading and narrower occlusal table size.It is recommended that occlusal design should follow a narrow occlusal table,with central fossa loading in intercuspal contact and low cusp inclination to minimise lateral loading in function and parafunction.Acknowledging these features should address potential problems associated with the occlusion in implant therapy.

9.Micro-sphere culture gathers cancer stem cell and its potential clinical application
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2017;44(3):136-141
Cancer stem cell hypothesis has become a new theory. According to this theory, cancer stem cells play a decisive role in car-cinogenesis, progression, and metastasis. This theory offered new ideas and strategies for cancer treatment. However, only a small fraction of cells in a tumor were cancer stem cells. Therefore, the identification and enrichment of these cells are significant challenges for numerous researchers conducting further study. Micro-sphere culture has been an effective tumor stem cell enrichment technolo-gy in recent years. The application of this technique makes the cancer stem cell research process easy. In addition, it makes the evalua-tion of tumor progression and prognosis of patients in clinical possible. This article will focus on the applications of this technology, and microsystem integration will be described in detail.
10.Simple analysis on the embodiment of golden mean (Zhong Yong) thoughts in tuina
Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2017;15(1):63-66
The concept of golden mean (Zhong Yong), i.e. moderation, is the highest principle of moral cultivation in Confucianism. It entails an exclusive methodology in addressing politics, philosophy and everything in the universe. This concept has permeated into all aspects of traditional Chinese culture. As an ancient therapy, tuina is an important part of Chinese medicine and has its characteristic theory and methods. Just like Chinese medicine, tuina has long been greatly influenced by the concept of golden mean. To better promote the development of tuina, it’s necessary to investigate the historical evolution of tuina and the concept of golden mean as well as the influence of ‘golden mean’ idea on tuina manipulation, mechanism and treatment.
