1.Progress in pathogenesis of childhood acute leukemia
International Journal of Pediatrics 2010;37(4):368-371
Acute leukemia is one of the most common cancers among children.The biological mechanisms leading to leukemia have not been fully clarified until now.Experiments were improved that most patients developing acute leukemia had abnormal chromosomes,including TEL/AML-l,BCR/ABL,PML/RAR-α fusion genes,which would be potential clinical biomarkers.Many genetic polymorphisms have effect on acute lymphoblastic leukemia susceptibility,which were containing genes involved in folate metabolism pathways,cytochrome P450,glutathione-S-transferase enzymes and quinone oxidoreductase-1.As the results of the studies,alcohol,tobacco,TNF-α and IFN-γ might be risk factors to the disease.Furthermore infection and IRF-3 were reported to reduce the occurrence of acute leukemia.Finally,as more is learned about the molecular pathology,it may be possible to develop new therapeutic agents which are specifically targeted to treat childhood acute leukemia.
2.TCM Recognition on Mechanism of Female Aging
International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2008;30(4):261-262
TCM boosts plenty theories and practice on delaying aging.Many TCM recognitions on the mechanism of female aging are still useful.The female has menstration,pregnancy,and lactation physiologically,which are different from the male,so the mechanism of the female aging is obviously different from the male.Many factors leads to female aging,such as the growth of age,interaction between deficiency,qi stagnation,blood stasis,and turbid phlegm,and results in functional retrogradation of the whole body.A deep discussion on the mechanism and law of female aging will bring about positive significance in the prevention and treatment of this disease.
3.Prognostic factors in cholangiocarcinoma
Chinese Journal of General Surgery 2001;10(1):71-73
Objective To study the prognostic factors in cholangocarcinoma(CC). Methods Retrospective analysis of the reported clinical data of CC in lectures. Results and Conclusions The prognosis of CC in lower portion of bile duct(BD) is much better, CC in meddle portion of BD take the second place of prognosis, CC in upper portion of BD has the worst prognosis. If CC with following cases, which would have much better prognosis: higher differentiation without metastasis, diploid, higher PCNA; if CC with negative expression of epithelial membrane antigen or keratine, which would have worse prognosis. The activate of type IV collegen is related linearly to the metastasis capacity of the tumor, and the expression of nm23 of tumor is related to invation, lymphatic metastasis and prognosis of the tumor. Radical resection of the tumor has the best effect, palliative resection take the second place of prognosis, internal or external drainage operation has the worst effect. The effect of local radiotherapy is limited, and chemotherapy showes no effect. Early diagnosis, radical or extending resection and combined therapy can improve the prognosis of CC.
4.Quality of life and the efficacy of rehabilitation in patients with acute stroke
Chinese Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation 2011;33(11):843-846
Objective To analyze the quality of life(QOL)of patients with acute stroke,and to explore the effects of early specialized rehabilitation on their QOL.Methods Seventy patients with acute stroke were randomly divided into a rehabilitation group(n =35)and a control group(n =35).The rehabilitation group received specialized rehabilitation treatment while the control group received self-rehabilitation.QOL we evaluated with the short form-36(SF-36)instrument before and after.Results Before treatment,QOL scores in the both groups were much lower than the norms for healthy people.The differences on each dimension of the SF-36 were not statistically significant between the two groups.The SF-36 scores of both groups improved during the experiment,but after 1 month and 6 months the improvement on each SF-36 dimension was significantly better in the rehabilitation group than in the control group.Conclusions The QOL of patients with acute stroke is significantly impaired,but specialized rehabilitation treatment is effective in improving it.
5.Altered perlecan expression in the formation of epidural scar after posterior lumbar laminectomy
Chinese Journal of Orthopaedics 2012;32(2):173-178
Objective To make a research on the expression of perlecan in the formation of epidural scar after posterior lumbar laminectomy in the rat.Methods Sixty Wistar rats were randomly and evenly divided into five groups:the experimental groups including A(the first week after surgery),B(the second week),C(the fourth week),D(the sixth week)and the control group.Laminectomy was performed on lumbar vertebra in each experimental group.The hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining was used to observe the formation of epidural scar.Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect the perlecan located in the epidural scar.Western blot and RT-PCR were made to quantify the expression of the perlecan after surgery.Results According to HE,with prolonged,the scar tissue gradually formed.Immunohistochemistry demonstrated that the perlecan was expressed in the fibroblast.Western blot and RT-PCR showed the high level expression of perlecan in the experimental groups compared to the control group(P<0.01).Furthermore,the expression of perlecan gradually increased with the prolongation of exposure time and had significantly statistical significance (P<0.01)between the first three experimental groups.However,compared to the fourth week group,the expression of perlecan in the sixth week decreased obviously(P<0.01).Conclusion Perlecan was expressed in the fibroblast of the epidural scar,and which plays an important role in the formation of epidural scar.
6.Fetal Nucleated Red Blood Cell in Maternal Peripheral Blood: Frequency and Relationship with Gestational Age
Chinese Journal of Perinatal Medicine 2000;0(04):-
Objective To study the frequency and relationship with gestational age of fetal nucleated red blood cell (NRBC) in maternal peripheral blood. Methods Samples of peripheral blood in 44 women of 6~40 gestational weeks were collected to enrich the fetal nucleated red blood cells by discontinuous density gradient centrifugation. The isolated cells were made smears and counted under the microscope. NRBCs were found and retrieved using a micromanipulator under a microscope for PCR amplification of Y chromosome specific DNA to determine fetal sex. Results NRBCs were found in 17 out of 44 maternal samples, distributing from 9 to 26 gestational weeks The highest frequency of NRBC was found in 11~20 gestational age which reached to 76.5%(13/17). The amount of detected NRBCs ranged from 5/7ml to 30/7ml. Y chromosome 149bp was found in 7 cases and not in the other 10, which agreed to the actual fetal sexes. Conclusion The appropriate time to make a prenatal diagnosis using fetal nucleated red blood cells is in 11~20 gestational age.

10.Application of interferon-γ release assay in immunocompromised patients with pulmonary tuberculosis
Chinese Journal of Immunology 2016;32(6):878-881
Objective:To investigate the application value of interferon-γ release assay ( IGRA ) in immunocompromised patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods:180 cases were chose including immunocompromised patients,pulmonary tuberculosis patients,immunocompromised patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and healthy volunteers to undergo IGRA in order to determine and compare the content of specific interferon-γ( IFN-γ) in plasma. At the same time, the result of immunocompromised patients with pulmonary tuberculosis was compared with tuberculin skin test (TST). Results:180 cases of the list were tested,included 40 immuno-compromised patients ( group A ) , 50 pulmonary tuberculosis patients ( group B ) , 40 immunocompromised patients with pulmonary tuberculosis patients(group C),and 50 cases in healthy control group(group D). The median of specific IFN-γ contents in the four groups were respectively 0. 112,7. 835,5. 726,0. 697 U/ml. The comparison of differences among the four groups was statistically significant (χ2=74. 046,P<0. 001). Pairwise comparisons among the four groups,and the differences between group B and group C were no significant,but specific IFN-γ content of the two groups was significantly higher than the other two groups,while the group D was higher than group A,the differences were statistically significant. The positive rate of IGRA was significantly higher than that of TST in group C(χ2=11. 314,P=0. 001). Conclusion: IGRA diagnosis in the application of immunocompromised patients with pulmonary tuberculosis was less affected by immune status and was more sensitive than TST,which can be used as auxiliary diagnosis.
