3.Expressions of transcription factor activator protein-2α, estrogen receptor-β and matrixmetalloproteinase-9 in lichen planus lesions
Chinese Journal of Dermatology 2011;44(5):339-342
Objective To determine the expressions of transcription factor activator protein-2α (AP-2α), estrogen receptor-β (ER-β) and matrixmetalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in lichen planus (LP) lesions and their significance. Methods Tissue samples were resected from the lesions of 30 patients with LP and normal skin of 30 human controls. An immunohistochemical method using streptavidin-peroxidase (SP) was performed to detect the expression of ER-β and MMP-9, reverse transcription-PCR and Western blot to measure the mRNA and protein expressions of AP-2α, ER-β and MMP-9 in these specimens. Results There was a significant decrease in the mRNA expressions of AP-2α (0.488 ± 0.039 vs. 1.008 ± 0.023, P < 0.01 ) and ER-β (0.365 ± 0.032 vs. 0.998 ± 0.036, P < 0.01), together with an increase in the expression of MMP-9 (1.237 ± 0.027 vs. 0.567 ± 0.015, P< 0.01) in the LP lesions compared with the control specimens; similar results were observed for the protein expressions of AP-2α, ER-β and MMP-9. In LP lesions, the expression of AP-2α was positively correlated with that of ER-β (R = 0.89, P < 0.01), but negatively correlated with that of MMP-9 (r = -0.91, P < 0.01). Conclusions The down-regulation of ER-β expression and up-regulation of MMP-9 expression may be ascribed to the abnormal regulation of upstream target genes mediated by the decreased expression of AP-2α, which may be involved in the pathogenesis of LP.

Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2015;38(1):25-28
Objective To investigate the effect of intranasal instillation of insulin with different doses on cognitive function in patients with Alzheimer disease (AD).Methods Sixty-three AD patients were collectcd.According to the order of doctor's office visiting,they were divided into insulin 1 group (21 cases,intranasal instillation of insulin 20 U,2 times per day),insulin 2 group (21 cases,intranasal instillation of insulin 40 U,2 times per day) and placebo group (21 cases,intranasal instillation of physiological saline,2 times per day).Mini-mental state examination scale (MMSE) and Rivermead behavioural memory test second edition (RBMT Ⅱ) were used to evaluate the improvement of cognitive function after 3 months and 6 months.Results Before treatment,the scores of MMSE and RBMT Ⅱ in insulin 1 group were (20.2 ± 2.3) and (17.2 ± 1.9) scores,in insulin 2 group were (20.7 ± 2.8) and (16.5 ± 1.9) scores.After treatment for 3 months,the scores of MMSE and RBMT Ⅱ in insulin 1 group were (21.8 ± 3.2) and (19.2 ± 2.0) scores,in insulin 2 group were (21.6 ± 3.5) and (18.1 ± 2.0) scores.The scores of MMSE and RBMT Ⅱ in insulin 1 group and insulin 2 group significantly improved compared with those before treatment (P < 0.05 or < 0.01).But the scores of MMSE and RBMT Ⅱ in placebo group were significantly aggravated,(18.9 ± 3.8) scores vs.(20.9 ± 2.5) scores,(15.2 ± 2.1) scores vs.(16.1 ± 2.0) scores,P < 0.05.After treatment for 6 months,the scores of MMSE and RBMT Ⅱ in insulin 1 group were (22.5 ± 3.3) and (20.5 ± 2.0) scores,in insulin 2 group were (22.7 ± 3.1) and(19.8 ± 1.9) scores,and in placebo group were (17.9 ± 4.5) and(14.7 ± 2.0) scores.The scores of MMSE and RBMT Ⅱ in insulin 1 group and insulin 2 group were significantly better than those in placebo group (P < 0.01).Conclusion Intranasal instillation of insulin can improve cognitive disorders in patients with AD.
5.Role of centrosome in tumorigenesis and oncotherapy
Basic & Clinical Medicine 2010;30(4):431-433
The centrosome plays a crucial role in the maintaining of cell conformation,mitosis and chromosome seg-regation.It responds to the DNA damage and keeps the genome stability via cross-talking with the intranuclear DNA damage repair system.The apoptosis of tumor cells can be induced through inhibition of the duplication of centro-some.So the inhibitors of centrosomal proteins will be a potential anti-tumor therapy.
6.Theoretical Research on Regulating Spirit Based on Time Differentiation of TCM
Journal of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University 2017;41(2):117-119
[Objective] To guide the health preservation more scientifically and effectively through discussing relationship between natural timing and spirit-regulating, and studying the influence of lifecycle and time sequence regularity on the spirit-regulating. [Methods] The relationship of body and spirit, time property of the spirit, time sequence regularity and those lifecycle were adopted to analyse the theoretical basis and specific measures on regulating spirit based on time differentiation. [Results] Body as well as the spirit would be followed by the changes of the time sequence regularity, also at different stages of human body, the spirit changed with it accordingly. [Conclusion] TCM holds that body and spirit are unified, the lifecycle and natural timing affect human body and spirit correspondingly, so if we know the relation of the spirit and time, regulate spirit by time differentiation, which must be helpful for keeping good mind, even for health and longevity.
7.Relationship between Cancer-related Fatigue and Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal Axis (review)
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2017;23(4):406-409
Cancer-related fatigue survivors have been found to have lower morning serum cortisol levels, flattened diurnal cortisol cy-cles, and decreased cortisol responses to psychological stress. The mechanism may be related to the inflammation caused by disorder of hy-pothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis, and there are also some evidences to support that cortisol can be used to reduce cancer-related fatigue. This study introduced the research progress of the relationship between cancer-related fatigue and hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis.

10.Efficacy of CHOP chemotherapy on unspecified peripheral T cell lymphoma in patients aged 80 years and over and its prognostic analysis
Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2016;35(5):507-510
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of CHOP (cyclophosphamide,doxorubicin,vincristine,and prednisone)chemotherapy on peripheral T cell lymphomas-unspecified (PTCL-U)in patients aged 80 years and over,and investigate the chemotherapy adverse effects and its prognostic factors.Methods Clinical data of 57 patients with PTCL-U confirmed by pathology and immunohistochemistry in Guangzhou First People's Hospital from January 2008 to January 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.The efficacy and adverse effects of CHOP chemotherapy,and its prognostic factors were evaluated.Results Of 57 patients,11 (19.3%) achieved complete remission,23(40.4%)had partial remission,14(24.6%)had stable disease,and 9(15.8%)had progressive disease after CHOP chemotherapy,with a total effective rate of 59.6% (34 cases).The expected 1-year,2-year and 3-year overall survival(OS)rate was 70.2% (40 cases),36.8% (21 cases) and 17.5% (10 cases),respectively.The median survival time was 18.2 months.Among the 57 patients,40(70.2%) had hypoplasia of bone marrow at degree Ⅰ-Ⅱ,17 (29.8%) at degree Ⅲ-Ⅳ,49 (86.0%) had mild nausea and vomiting(degree Ⅰ-Ⅱ),8(14.0%)had severe nausea and vomiting(degree Ⅲ-Ⅳ),7 had liver dysfunction,2 had cardiac toxicity and 7 had disturbance of blood coagulation.Univariate analysis showed that the alkaline phosphatase,Ki-67 percentage,lymphoma international prognostic index(IPI)score,extranodal involved sites(>1),as well as the efficacy and course of chemotherapy were the prognostic factors for survival time in very elderly patients.Multivariate analysis indicated that IPI score>2(95%CI:1.12~6.35,x2 =5.45,P<0.01),extranodal involved sites(>1)(95% CI:2.58-15.32,x2 = 16.42,P<0.01),disease progression(95%CI:1.82~12.15,x2 = 10.23,P<0.01),chemotherapy courses(>4) (5%CI:0.18~0.79,x2 =7.28,P<0.01)were the independent prognostic factors for the median survival time in very elderly patients.Conclusions PTCL U patients aged 80 years and over have poor prognosis.CHOP chemotherapy has a certain effect on PTCL-U in very elderly patients,and chemotherapy side effects can be tolerated.IPI score>2 and extranodal involved sites(> 1)are the important prognostic factors in very elderly PTCL-U patients.The completion of full course of chemotherapy with remission occurrence is important to prolong survival time in very elderly PTCL-U patients.
