Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture and Moxibustion 2015;(9):814-816,817
Objective To investigate the effects of different times of needle retention on cognitive function in patients with vascular cognitive impairment no dementia (VCIND). Methods One hundred and four VCIND patients were randomly allocated to group A of 35 cases, group B of 34 cases and group C of 35 cases. All the three groups received acupuncture plus medication. Of them, group A was given scalp acupuncture with 30 min retention of needles;group B, with 1 hr retention of needles;group C, with 10 hrs retention of needles. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score and the ADL score were recorded in the three groups of patients before and after treatment. Results There were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in the MoCA score and the ADL score in every group (P<0.05). There were statistically significant post-treatment differences in the MoCA score and the ADL score between group A or B and group C (P<0.05). Conclusions Acupuncture is an effective way to treat VCIND. It can improve cognitive function in the patients. Scalp acupuncture with 10 hrs retention of needles has a more marked effect.
2.Construction of hIAP-2 siRNA plasmid and its effects on breast cancer cell line MCF-7
Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 1982;0(02):-
Objective:To construct an expression plasmid of siRNA against gene hIAP-2 and to assess its effect on breast cancer cell line MCF-7.Methods: A hIAP-2 siRNA plasmid was constructed with mU6pro vector containing U6 promotor and its RNAi effect on MCF-7 cells was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot.The effects of the plasmid on MCF-7 proliferation were analyzed by MTT assay,on the cell cycle by flow cytometry,and on the cell morphology by Hoechst staining.The activity of caspase-3 was determined with its substrate Ac-DEVD-pNA and the expression of some related proteins was detected by Western blot.Results: The hIAP-2 siRNA plasmid knocked down hIAP-2 expression in MCF-7 cells specifically and obviously,inhibited tumor cell proliferation and arrested the MCF-7 cells at G_(1) phase.After hIAP-2 gene was silenced,MCF-7 cells became multinuclear and had macronucleus;procaspase-3 was activated and its expression was increased.The protein levels of I?B?(p37) and p21~(waf1) increased,of NF-?B(p65) decreased and Cyt C remained unchanged.Conclusion: hIAP-2 in MCF-7 cells plays a crucial role in cell proliferation and cell cycle progression.Mitotic cell death might be the main way of the cell death;G_(1) arrest after DNA damage might be associated with the p21~(waf1) increase.

4.Relationship of plasma brain natriuretic peptide with TIMI risk score in patients with acute myocardial infarction
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2011;18(19):2611-2612
ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation of TIMI risk score and plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in patients with Acute myocardial infarction. MethodsTIMI risk score were calculated in 63 patients with acute myocardial infarction;At the same time plasma brain natriuretic peptide were measured by enzyme-linked immune absorption assay(ELISA). Analyze the correlation of TIMI risk score and plasma brain natriuretic peptide. ResultsNine patients of 63 occurred cardiavascular events during hospitalization or follow-up( 14.3% ). The incidence of MACE increased significantly with the rise of TIMI risk score and BNP level. The TIMI risk score was positively correlated with the plasma BNP level( r =0.73 ,P < 0. 05 ). ConclusionThe higher TIMI risk score and BNP level, the worse the prognosis, it could be use to predict the prognosis.
5.Application of PDCA cycle to improve nurse's adaptation to assessment model based on cases tracking
Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2014;30(35):54-57
Objective To discuss the effect of the PDCA cycle in enhancing the case care ability of nurses in order for nurses to adapt to the assessment model of cases tracking.Methods The training was carried out for enhancing nurses' ability of case care according to the PDCA cycle.Results The scores of the case care,the quality of care in wards and the patient satisfaction degree increased significantly after applying the PDCA cycle compared with those before.The aims of ensuring medical safety,improving the work quality,and increasing patient satisfaction were achieved.Conclusions Training nurses' ability of case care following the PDCA cycle can effectively improve the nurses' ability of case care,make them adapt to the case tracking assessment model,which is worthy of promotion.
6.Update of the Diagnosis and Management of Diabetes
Herald of Medicine 2015;(11):1411-1416
The prevalence rate of diabetes is continuously increasing in China, and diabetes characterizes as high morbidity, low diagnostic rate, low cure rate, and low good control rate, which consequently resultes in the occurrence and progression of various diabetic complications and dramatically decreases the quality of life as well as the survival of diabetic patients.So it is crucial for clinician to screen diabetes early, make the diagnosis early, and start the treatment promptly.This article systemically summarizes the clinical manifestations, diagnostic criteria, typing, pathophysiology, complications, and management of diabetes.
7.Application of systems biology method in the research of traditional Chinese medicine
Journal of Integrative Medicine 2008;6(5):454-7
Systems biology is a new science of the 21st century, which resembles traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in many aspects such as study method and design. Adoption of systems biology approach would do much help for exploring the scientific connotation of TCM syndrome and the modernization of Chinese herbal medicine. Its technological platforms, such as genomics, proteomics and metabonomics, provide powerful tools for the study of the essence of TCM syndrome and the function of herbal compound recipe. Compared with other molecular biological methods, such as genomics and proteomics, metabonomics method is more direct and more concise, especially for providing an effective method for the study of TCM therapy in preventing and treating kidney diseases.
