1.The relation between cardiac development and Wnt/β-catenin signal transduction in early embryo
Basic & Clinical Medicine 2010;30(1):103-106
The Wnt/β-catenin signal transduction pathway is essential for regulating cell proliferation, movement, differentiation and embryo development. Researchers have found that Wnt pathway is an important regulation factor in the early stimulation of the cardiogenesis and contacts closely the several key events during cardiac morphogenesis. The article reviews the recent studies about the relation between cardiac development and Wnt pathway in early embryo.

Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2003;0(11):-
Aim To investigate the effects of curcumin on expression of HIF-1? in human hepatocellular carcinoma BEL-7402 cells.Methods Different concentrations of 0,2.5,5,10,15 and 20 ?mol?L~(-1) curcumin-treated human hepatocellular carcinoma BEL-7402 cells were cultured under hypoxia for 6 hours.The cell proliferation and cell viability were assayed by WST-8 and the trypan blue dye exclusion method.The expression level of HIF-1? in human hepatocellular carcinoma BEL-7402 cells was checked by RT-PCR and Western Blot;0,10 ?mol?L~(-1) curcumin,10 ?mol?L~(-1) MG-132,and 10 ?mol?L~(-1) curcumin +10 ?mol? L~(-1) MG-132-treated human hepatocellular carcinoma BEL-7402 cells were cultured under hypoxia for 6 hours.The protein expression level of HIF-1? protein in human hepatocellular carcinoma BEL-7402 cells was checked by Western Blot.Results ① No significant difference was found in the cell proliferation rate and cell viability between control and different concentrations of curcumin.② Curcumin can down-regulate the expression of HIF-1? protein with the increasing concentrations.③ the effect of curcumin on expression of HIF-1?mRNA had no significant difference between control and different concentrations.④ MG-132 can reverse the curcumin-mediated decrease of HIF-1? protein.Conclusion Inhibitory effect of curcumin on expression of HIF-1? in human hepatocellular carcinoma BEL-7402 cells was acted through posttranscriptional mechanisms and the proteasome pathway.

That sparkplugs and cognizances caution of medical morality base line is a realistic proposition that to spurn mammonism phenomenon filters medical service industry and enhances diathesis of medical affairs personnel.Medical service incited by mammonism phenomenon forms a menace to the medical base line,it is important inducement of medical action of getting out of line,and duties of medical risk and complaints of medical comsumer.Mammonism phenomenon form a nubbin quoted by medical morality base line and duties of medical risk.

Objective To investigate the intelligence level and characters in children with cerebral palsy of 4~6 years old, and the factors related with their intelligence. Methods 215 cerebral palsy children of 4~6 years old were assessed with Wechsler Intelligence Scale for children,Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS). Results 210 children finished their intelligence test, and 113 presented mental retardation. The intelligence level was higher in the children with spastic diaplegia, hemiplegia and dyskinetic type than those with quadriplegia and ataxia type. The difference was significant between VIQ and PIQ in the spastic diplegia (P<0.05). The mental retardation was more frequent in the children with GMFCS Ⅳ~Ⅴ, or with epilepsy or microcephaly than those with GMFCS Ⅰ~Ⅲ or without the complications (P<0.05). Conclusion The incidence of mental retardation in children with cerebral palsy was related with the neurotypes, motor function and complications.

Hepatitis B virus(HBV) infection is a severe health problem in the world.However,there is still not a satisfactory therapeutic strategy for the HBV infection.To search for new anti-HBV agents with higher efficacy and less side-effects,the inhibitory activities of traditional Chinese medicine Rheum palmatum L.ethanol extract(RPE) against HBV replication were investigated in this study.Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(PCR) was employed to analyze the inhibitory activity of RPE against HBV-DNA replication in a stable HBV-producing cell line HepAD38; the expression levels of HBV surface antigen(HBsAg) and e antigen(HBeAg) were also determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) after RPE treatment.RPE could dose-dependently inhibit the production of HBV-DNA and HBsAg.The concentration of 50% inhibition(IC50) was calculated at 209.63,252.53 μg/mL,respectively.However,its inhibitory activity against HBeAg expression was slight even at high concentrations.RPE had a weak cytotoxic effect on HepAD38 cells(CC50 = 1 640 μg/mL) and the selectivity index(SI) was calculated at 7.82.Compared with two anthraquinone derivatives emodin and rhein,RPE showed higher ability of anti-HBV and weaker cytotoxicity.So Rheum palmatum L.might possess other functional agents which could effectively inhibit HBV-DNA replication and HBsAg expression.Further purification of the active agents,identification and modification of their structures to improve the efficacy and decrease the cytotoxicity are required.
10.Therapeutic effects of focused ultrasound on chronic cervicitis and the influencing factors
Chinese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology 2001;0(01):-
Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of focused ultrasound(FU)on chronic cervicitis unitarily and its influential factors.Methods Three hundred and thirteen patients of chronic cervicitis were treated with the device of CZF model focused ultrasound.The therapeutic effects in 300 cases with complete records,as well as the relationship between the diameter of cervical erosion and the exposure time to FU were analyzed.Results The effective rates of FU in treatment of chronic cervicitis unitarily were 100.0%(53/53),95.2%(120/126)and 91.7%(111/121),respectively,for mild,moderate and severe cases.The overall effective rate was 94.7%(284/300).With other parameters of FU unchanged,the exposure time to FU showed an exponential relationship with the diameter of erosion,and the regression equation was D=31.71e~(0.4808t)(R~2=0.9966).Conclusions The controllability and achievement ratio of FU to treat cervical erosion could be enhanced when exposure time and manners were fully considered based on the diameter and type of cervical erosion.A satisfactory therapeutic efficacy could be achieved with FU to treat cervical erosion unitarily.
