1.Progress of rituximab therapy on children with refractory nephrotic syndrome
International Journal of Pediatrics 2013;40(6):545-549
Refractory nephrotic syndrome(RNS) is one of the main causes of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in children,which is also a difficult issue in clinic.Several therapies,including immunosuppressive agents,have been shown to be effective and safe for RNS.It is proved,however,that a substantial number of children are still refractory to treatment despite these therapies.Recently,rituximab as a new immunosuppressant has achieved good results for RNS,and a number of case reports and clinical trials have suggested that rituximab may be effective for children with RNS.This review will analyse the scientific basis for the efficacy and safety of using rituximab in children with RNS.
2.Diagnosis of acute kidney injury and its biomarkers in children
International Journal of Pediatrics 2015;42(6):639-643
Acute kidney injury (AKI)was a common problem in children in clinic.pRIFLE Criteria, AKIN Criteria, KDIGO Criteria are the main classification criteria of AKI.Though serum creatinine is still used as the most common biomarkers for diagnosis of AKI, the sensitivity and specificity is unsatisfactory.In recent years, many potential biomarkers of AKI have been studied in a variety of experimental and clinical settings.This review describes the novel biomarkers of AKI, including cystatin C, neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin, interleukin-18 ,kidney injury molecule-1 and liver-type fatty acid binding protein,, which have now made a progress in clinic.

Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2014;31(6):1389-1393
The Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is a key part of the wearable monitoring technologies, which has many communication technologies to choose from, like Bluetooth, ZigBee, Ultra Wideband, and Wireless Human Body Communication (WHBC). As for the WHBC developed in recent years, it is worthy to be further studied. The WHBC has a strong momentum of growth and a natural advantage in the formation of WBAN. In this paper, we first briefly describe the technical background of WHBC, then introduce theoretical model of human-channel communication and digital transmission machine based on human channel. And finally we analyze various of the interference of the WHBC and show the AFH (Adaptive Frequency Hopping) technology which can effectively deal with the interference.

Objective To evaluate the effect of probucol on endothelium-dependent vasodilatation(i,e.flow- mediated dilation,FMD) function of the old patients with isolated systolic hypertension.Methods In this single- blind study,a total of 64 old pariems with isolated systolic hypertension were randomized to receive conventional an- tihypertensive therapy and probucol (0.5g twice daily,group A,n=33) or receive conventional antihyperrensive therapy(group B,n=31) for 12 weeks.The levels of blood lipid were measured and vascular endothelial function was assessed in the brachial artery by high-resolution ultrasound technique in form of endothelium-dependent vasodi- latation before and after treatment.Results After 12-week treatment,the levels of TC,LDL-C and HDL-C in group A were significantly reduced compared with those before treatment(all P0.05).Flow-mediated dilatation parameters in both groups were obviously improved compared with those before treatment( P
8.Clinical analysis on arthroscopic treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee
Orthopedic Journal of China 2006;0(11):-
[Objective]To evaluate the therapeutic effect of arthroscopic treatment for osteoarthritis of the knee,and explore the factors related to clinical outcome. [Methods]Three hundred and sixty-two patients with knee osteoarthritis were treated by arthroscopic surgery in the 88th hospital from May 2000 to November 2007. Of them,124 patients were followed-up completely. Quantified clinical data were input into computer and analyzed statistically by SPSS 16.0 software. Lysholm score was used to evaluate the therapeutic effect. Lysholm scores before surgery and at follow up were compared with paired t test. Patients were divided into different subgroups according to sex,locking,X -ray grade,arthroscopic grade and surgical methods. Lysholm scores at the final follow up of different subgroups were compared with variance analysis. The factors related to operation outcome were explored by using multiple stepwise linear regression analysis.[Results]One hundred and twenty-four patients were followed up from 7 to 96 months with an average of 39.6 months. Preoperative Lysholm score was (46.10?2.80),the score at follow up was (70.69+2.90),there was significant difference between preoperative score and at follow up (t=9.362,P0.05). The difference was significant between groups whether locking or not (F=10.654,P
