1.Architecture of network medicine and its research progress
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2017;21(12):1959-1968
BACKGROUND:Network medical research contains various widely applicable networks with different structures, and construction methods. These networks are not organized in architecture yet, and there is a lack of overview about its application and research progress. OBJECTIVE:To organize various medical networks to a hierarchical architecture, and summarize their research progress. METHODS:A computer-based search of CNKI and PubMed databases was performed for articles about the network medicine published between 1999 and 2016 using the keywords ofdisease network, protein interaction network, metabolic network, gene regulatoryin English and Chinese, respectively. Then the main research contents, module property, construction methods, maturity and application progress of network medicine were discussed to predict the research direction. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The architecture of network medicine consists of molecular interaction network layer (interactome), disease network layer (diseasome) and drug network layer (drugome). In the interactome, protein-protein interaction network, metabolic network and gene regulatory network are in the order of organisms → mammals →human, and respective networks of human have been mapped but not mature;and new networks are being built. In diseasome, many disease networks have been constructed using a single element to cluster;and cluster by new element or combined elements can be considered in the future. Given this the current pharmacology is based on protein, there are few networks in the drugome the elements that constitute the drugome are only drug and protein.

Disuse-related osteopenia is mainly due to decrease of bone formation which relates closely to the changes of osteoblast function and differentiation. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells which are multipotent cells present in bone marrow can differentiate into osteoblast. The factors which regulate the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were introduced. This will increase the understanding and aid in the prevention and treatments of bone loss to create a healthier life for astronauts and patients after disuse.

Streptomyces phage ?C31 integrase is a site-specific recombinase and introduce foreign gene to unidirectional recombination.Because of its integration mediated by ?C31 integrase without any cofactors and especially directed integration,it possesses high efficiency and stable expression of foreign gene.These advantages make it an attractive tool for genetic engineering.It has been widely used to transgene integration in mammalians and provides an opportunity to overcome the bottlenecks in the generation of transgenetic animals,such as random integration,low integral rate,low level of expression and so on.The ?C31 integrase will have a wide application in the near future.
6.The relationship study of essential hypertension arteriosclerosis and early renal damage
International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2012;(12):1066-1069
Objective To discuss the value of essential hypertension arteriosclerosis as a predictor of early renal damage.Methods 90 cases of essential hypertension with early renal damage were selected and statistical analysis to result of AASI,Scr,ACR and eGFR with SPSS17.0、Excel statistical analysis software were carried out.Group A was defined as AASI≥0.55 and group B was defined as AASI<0.55.Compared the two groups with relevant analysis,and then built multivariate linear regression equation.Results ① The group A showed higher age(P<0.01),24 h DBP(P<0.05),ACR(P<0.01),ACR(+) rate(P<0.01)and lower eGFR (P< 0.01),compared with the group B.②AASI showed a positive correlation with age (r= 0.483,P= 0.000),24 h SBP (r= 0.350,P =0.001),ACR (r=0.474,P= 0.000),and a negative correlation with eGFR (r=-0.383,P= 0.000).Two multiple linear regressions showed that AASI was associate with eGFR (B =-0.001,P= 0.038) and ACR(B = 0.025,P = 0.000) independent of other factors.Conclusion ①Arteriosclerosis is closely related with age and blood pressure mutation rate day and night.②Arteriosclerosis has a closely relationship with essential hypertension early renal damage,and can predict early renal damage in hypertension patients.
