Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2001;10(3):182-183
Objective To explore the effect of the psychological intervention on the treatment of dental anxiety (DA).Methods Measured with Corah's dental anxiety scale , 316DA patients were selected from department of dentistry and were divided into two groups: the intervention group and the control group . The psychological intervention as well as regular dental therapeutics were applied to the patients in the intervention group , whereas only regular dental therapeutics were used to those in the control group.Results The patients had a lower clinical dental anxiety in the intervention group , significantly different from that of the control group ( P< 0.01). After the treatment , more patients in the intervention group had a slower pulse than those in the control group and fewer had a faster pulse .The results also showed that the psychological intervention had a better curative effect on male patients than female ( P<0.05). Conclusion The psychological intervention was efficient to patients with dental anxiety.
2.Regulation of telomerase activity and gene therapy for cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(1):17-20
The hTERT gene promoter is a tumor-specific promoter, regulated by a number of factors.Modulation of the chromatin structure via DNA methylation or histone acetylation plays an important role in regulating the hTERT promoter. Recent study also found that glycogen synthase kinase -3 cytokines, macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor 1, bone inducing factor -7, transcription factors c-myc inhibitor, transforming growth factor β, cyclopentenone prostaglandin regulate the activity of hTERT through various pathways. Telomelysin, the telomerase-specific replication competent oncolytic adenovirus, has been used in clinical settings.Various gene therapies based on hTERT are current under-way.
3.Data and analysis of the cancer genome atlas
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2014;(5):349-353
Multiple chromosomal aberrations, nucleotide substitutions, and epigenetic modifications may occur in human cancer cells, which drive malignant transformation. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project aims to promote large-scale multi-dimensional analysis of these molecular characteristics in human cancer and rapidly provide data to researchers. In this study, we introduce four flow paths of the production of TCGA data, the collections of various cancer types, the data category and level, and the standardized pipeline of data analysis, as well as several existing data analytical tools. We used ovarian cancer as an example to introduce the application of the TCGA data in the analyses of mutation, copy number, analysis, and expression. We summarized the important findings of glioblasto-ma by TCGA teams.
4.The role of calcitonin gene-related peptide in hypertension
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2003;0(08):-
The sensory merves innervate blood vessels all over the body and participate in the regulation of cardiovascular function both in the normal state and in the pathophysiology of hypertension through the actions of potent vasodilator neuropeptides Calcitonin gene related peptide, the predominant neurotransmitter in the capsaicin sensitive sensory nerves, plays an important role in the initiation and progression of hypertension via the alterations in its synthesis and release.

Objective:To explore the differences of depressive emotion among youth, middle age and the senile depressive cancer patients. Methods:96 depressive cancer patients were assessed with a self-developed data-collecting form, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (CPS) and Dysfunctional Attitude Scale(DAS).Results:There were differences in the total scores of BDI and the factor scores of depression, feeling of failure, dissatisfaction, self-feeling of guilty, self-dislike, intention of suicide, irritability, hypoactivity, hyposexuality, feeling of being punished, self-blame, crying, pessimism preoccupied viewpoint and body-image disturbance among the three groups. Conclusion:There are differences among depressive cancer patients of different age periods.
6.Acalypha decoction in prevention and treatment of trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid induced ulcerative colitis in rats
Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 1985;0(05):-
Objective:To study the preventive and therapeutic effects of Acalypha decoction on 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid induced ulcerative colitis(UC) in rats.Methods: Totally 70 male SD rats were equally randomized into 7 groups, and UC was induced by intrarectal administration of TNBS (125 mg/kg in 50% ethanol). Six hours later the rats were given 3 different doses of Acapha decoction (2.5, 6.5, 9.5 g crude drug/kg body weight) daily for 10 d.Some rats were pretreated with Acalypha decoction (6.5 g crude drug/kg body weight) 3 d before the colitis was induced. Sulfasalazine was used as the standard drug for comparison. The efficacy of Acalypha decoction was assessed through the following parameters: bodyweight loss, diarrhea and bloody stool, macroscopic score,histological changes,and MPO activity in colon tissue. Results: Acalypha decoction treatment(9.5 g/kg, 6.5 g/kg) and prevention administration (6.5 g/kg) significantly inhibited the bodyweight loss and occurrence of diarrhea and rectal bleeding in the rats(P
7.Research progress in chemical induced animal models of inflammatory bowel disease
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 1986;0(05):-
In inflammatory bowel disease, the experimental model s have been proven to be important tools to investigate the potential therapeuti c agent and to study the mechanism of pathogenesis. Literatures available were r eviewed on the methods of induction, characteristic and availability of all kind s of chemically induced IBD animal models. It would provide some information for selection of the experimental model in pharmacology and pathogenesis study.
8.IN VITRO TRANSDIFFERENTIATION OF RAT BONE MARROW MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS INTO INSULIN-SECRETING CELLS
Acta Anatomica Sinica 1955;0(03):-
Objective To investigate the possibility of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells to transdifferentiate into insulinf-secreting cells or islet progenitors,and to demonstrate whether these islet-like cells can generate insulin and glucagon. Methods BMSCs were isolated from tibia or thighbone of 6-8 weeks normal SD rat,purified on the basis of their ability to adhere to matrix,and expanded through their self-renewal.Two-step strategy was adopted,BMSCs were induced to generate nestin-positive cells under diffferentiation culture medium 1(added 20??g/L bFGF,10??g/L EGF and 2% B-(27) in DMDM/F-(12) medium) in step one;Nestin-positive cells were differentiated and developed into islet-like cells or islet progenitors under complexed culture medium 2(added 10??g/L Betacellulin,10??g/L HCF,10??g/L Activin A,10?mmol/L nicotide and 2% B27 serum-free in HG-DMEM medium) in step two.The differentiated cells were tested by Dithiazone staining;Immunocytochemistry was carried out using standard protocols in which the cells were incubated with Rb-Rat insulin monoclone antibody,mouse-human glucogan polyclone antibody and Rb-Rat nestin monoclone antibody and assessed by examining the cells under a Zeiss microscope.Insulin secretion in response to insulin secretagogues(glucose) was assayed by radioimmunoassay(RIA). Results After 5 days,BMSCs were expressing nestin,a marker shared with neural stem cells and pancreatic stem cells.Dithiazone staining was positive(bright orange).The differentiated cell masses were containing insulin and glycagon as indicated by immunocytochemistry.RIA demonstrated that these cell mass could generate insulin,the responsibility to glucose was weak.Conclusion BMSCs can be induced to differentiate into insulin-secreting cells or islet progenitors by adding various different cell growth factors and the strategy is repeatable.This study may present a potential approach for the treatment of insulin-depended diabetes by interventional therapy.

Objective To establish the method of liquid chromatography-mass spectrum for the determination of /Ginsenoside-Rd in human urine. Methods With the gentiopicroside as internal standard, the dilution method was adopted to treat the urine samples. Electrospmy ionization(ESI)source was applied and operated in the positive ion mode. Multiple reaction monitoring(MRM)mode was used to detect Ginsenoside-Rd content. Results By this method the linearity limit of Ginsenoside-Rd is 30.3~ 10 100 ng? mL-1, the lower quantitative limit is (30.3? 2.16) ng? mL-1, and the inter-and intra-day precision (RSD) was less than 10 % . Conclusions This is an accurate, sensitive, specific and convenient method, which can be used for the determination of Ginsenoside-Rdin urine of the healthy human.
