2.Advances in CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing.
Chinese Journal of Biotechnology 2015;31(11):1531-1542
Clustered regulatory interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) found in bacteria and archaea genome that contains multiple short repeats loci, provides acquired immunity against invading foreign DNA via RNA-guided DNA cleavage. The first inkling of this hot new genetic engineering tool turned up in 1987, when a research team observed an oddly repetitive sequence at one end of a bacterial gene. Now three types of CRISPR/Cas system have been identified: types I, II and III. In the type II CRISPR/Cas9 system, short segments of foreign DNA termed 'spacers' are integrated within the CRISPR genomic loci, transcribed and processed into short CRISPR RNA (crRNA). These crRNAs anneal to trans-activating crRNA (tracrRNA) and direct sequence-specific cleavage in that a double-strand break (DSB) is generated by Cas proteins. Based on these findings, various genetic methods, including gene targeting (Gene disruption), gene insertion, gene correction etc., are being designed to manipulate the genomes of different species at specific loci. Compared with zinc finger nucleases (ZFN) and transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALEN), CRISPR/Cas9 is simpler with higher specificity and less toxicity. This review summarizes recent progress, discusses the prospects of CRISPR/Cas9 system, with an emphasis on its structure, principle, applications and potential challenges, and provides a useful reference for researchers who are interested in this new technique.

3.Clinical observation on the treatment effect for pruritus in uremic patients by different dialysis modalities
Chongqing Medicine 2014;(6):668-670
Objective To study the effect of different dialysis modalities on pruritus in uremic patients .Methods Patients with maintenance hemodialysis who were suffered with severe cutaneous pruritus were randomly divided into hemodialysis group (HD group) ,hemodialysis combined with hemodiafiltration group (HD+ HDF group) ,hemodialysis and hemodiafiltration combined with hemoperfusion group (HD+ HDF+ HP group) .Plasma P3+ ,parathyroid hormone (PTH) and β2-microglobulin (β2-MG) were measured at pre-dialysis ,1 weeks ,4 weeks and 12 weeks after dialysis ,cutaneous pruritus was scored too .Results Compared with pre-dialysis ,the level of plasma P3+ ,PTH ,β2-MG and the scores of cutaneous pruritus were significantly lower at 4 weeks and 12 weeks after dialysis in HD+ HDF+ HP group (P<0 .05) .The were statistically significant difference in P3+ ,PTH ,β2-MG and cu-taneous pruritus scores among 3 groups after 12 weeks (P<0 .05) .Conclusion HD+ HDF+ HP is superior to HD+ HDF in effi-ciently clear P3+ ,PT H andβ2-M G ,and relief cutaneous pruritus and itching .
4.The effect of hyperuricemia on vascular complications of type 2 diabetes and the related-factors analysis
Chinese Journal of Diabetes 2006;14(3):182-184
Objective To evaluate the effect of hyperuricemia on vascular complications of type 2 diabetes and analysis of the possible mechanism. Methods 586 cases with T2DM were divided into two groups: normal serum uric acid (n=397) and hyperuricemia (n=189).The morbidity of macrovascular and microvascular complications and the serum levels of CRP,TNF,IL-1,IL-2,IL-6,IL-8 and PAI-1 were detected. Results (1)Hyperuricemia group showed higher BMI, blood pressure, TG,TC,LDL,WHR ratio and lower serum HDL-C than the group with normal uric acid (all P<0.05).(2)Group with hyperuricemia showed higher morbidities of macrovascular and microvascular complications than the group with normal uric acid (all P<0.05).(3) Group with hyperuricemia had higher levels of CRP,TNF,IL-6,IL-8,PAI-1 (all P<0.05). Conclusions (1) Hyperuricemia is associated with obesity and dyslipidemia.(2) Hyperuricemia may cause atherosclerosis by inflammation of vascular endothelium, resulting macrovascular and microvascular complications.

6.Research progress on the clinical classification and treatment of metastatic Spinal Tumors
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2013;(14):869-872
The clinical classification of metastatic spinal tumors is based on the degree of malignancy, nervous system function, osteoclasia, and prognosis of patients. The application of this classification system is relatively simple. The assessment and evaluation of patients to estimate the period of survival can guide the individualized treatment of patients. Patients with clear surgical indications can choose to undergo a palliative operation, tumor resection, or total spondylectomy. Alternatively, other patients can opt to have mini-mally invasive surgery aside from the normal surgical approach. Stereotactic radiotherapy and intensity-modulated radiation therapy combined with the use of radiofrequency ablation, radiation, and other therapies can achieve local tumor control, relieve pain, and main-tain normal neurological function. Thus, the quality of life of the patient is improved. Percutaneous vertebroplasty, radiofrequency abla-tion, spinal endoscopy, and other modern forms of minimally invasive surgery will have more applications in the treatment of spinal metastatic tumors.
7.Role of multimedia teaching in clinical teaching of pediatric surgery
Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2012;11(10):1051-1053
Multimedia teaching was not often used in pediatric surgery teaching in department of pediatrics.We used multimedia courseware to assist teaching in clinical teaching for 2007 grade seven-year-program students in Chongqing medical university.Results showed that this method improved students' learning enthusiasm,initiative and interests and laid a good foundation for the smooth development of their clinical practice.
8.Application of resonance spectroscopy in vascular dementia
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2011;19(7):545-548
Vascular dementia (VaD) is one of the most common dementia types in the elderly population. Its incidence is only second to Alzheimer's disease. At present, the diagnosis of VaD mainly based on the clinical manifestations, neuroimaging and neuropsychological scales of the patients. It still lacks higher sensitive and specific metabolism indexes. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a noninvasive technique for detecting the energy of living tissues and the changes of metabolism. In recent years, it has been more and more used to patients with VaD and has achieved initial results in the diagnosis, differential diagnosis and cognition-related studies of
9.Analysis of the psychological impact of medical disputes on clinical doctors and a discussion of counter-measures
Chinese Journal of Hospital Administration 2009;25(7):473-475
Objective Identifying the factors of psychological pressure from medical disputes on clinical doctors and possible solutions. Methods Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and the Occupational Stress Indicator (OSI) were called into play, to study 52 clinical doctors in a tertiary hospital in a city, who had encountered medical disputes in recent two years. In parallel, 63 clinical doctors without such disputes and 50 non-clinical workers were randomly selected as the control group for questionnaires. Results Clinical doctors with such an experience were commonly found to be anxious, and their SAS score (58. 27±11.38)averaged higher than those in the control group. Doctor-patient relationship, legal liabilities and clinical positions were found to be positively correlated to psychological pressure of clinical doctors. Conclusions Medical disputes tend to add to psychological pressure of the doctors. Clinical doctors deserve psychological counseling and training and improvement of their working conditions.
10.Subcortical ischemic vascular dementia
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2010;18(2):137-141
Subcortical ischemic vascular dementia is a subtype of vascular cognitive impairment. Its major pathological features are lacunar infarcts and deep white matter changes, and its major clinical manifestation is executive function impairment. Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) provides an opportunity for the study of pure subcorticai ischemic vascular dementia in the absence of Alzheimer's disease. There is currently lack of the gold standard for diagnosing subcortical ischemic vascular dementia. Imaging examination plays an important role in its diagnosis, while the treatment must first consider the control of vascular risk factors, especially hypertension.
