1.Advances in study of glucocorticoid receptor induced insulin resistance and its antagonists
Chinese Journal of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics 2000;0(02):-
Glucocorticoids are among those most important hormones that maintain the energy metabolic homeostasis within body.The actions of glucocorticoids on target tissues,such as liver and adipose tissue,are not only dependent on circulating glucocorticoid levels but also on glucocorticoid receptor expression.The elevated level of circulating glucocorticoid caused by exogenous or endogenous reasons may contribute to insulin resistance and the other metabolic syndrome such as dyslipidemia,visceral obesity and hypertension.This review summarizes recent advances in the study of glucocorticoid receptor-mediated insulin resistance and its antagonists.
2.Relationship between narcissism and entrepreneurial intention in college students
Chinese Mental Health Journal 2017;31(2):156-161
Objective:To investigate the relationship between narcissism and entrepreneurial intention and roles of achievement motive and risk aversion in college students.Methods:In this study,375 college students were selected from Henan University.Their narcissism,entrepreneurial intention,achievement motive and risk aversion were assessed with the Narcissism Scale,Entrepreneurial Intentions,The Achievement Motive Scale,and General Risk Aversion Scale.Results:The scores of overt narcissism positively predicted the scores of entrepreneurial intention (3 =0.37,P < 0.001),the predictive effect of covert narcissism on entrepreneurial intention was not significant (β =-0.05,P > 0.05).The scores of achievement motive partly mediated the relationship between the scores of overt narcissism and entrepreneurial intention (95% CI:0.06-0.22),and this mediation effect was moderated by the scores of risk aversion (β =0.09,P < 0.05).Only when the score of risk aversion was higher (above one standard deviation),achievement motive was a mediator between narcissism and entrepreneurial intention.When the score of risk aversion was lower,the mediate effect was not valid.Therefore,the moderated mediation model was confirmed.Conclusion:It suggest that the moderated mediation model is feasible,that is,achievement motive is a mediator between narcissism and entrepreneurial intention,but this mediation is moderated by risk aversion.
3.Relationship between ECG Abnormalities and Prognosisin in Patients with Cerebrovascular Accident
Journal of Medical Research 2006;0(12):-
Objective To investigate the relationship between cerebrovascular accident and abnormal electrocardiogram. Methods The ECG abnormalities and clinical data of 314 patients with cerebrovascular accident were analyzed. Results 56.7% patients developed arrhythmia. Among them, the morbility of arrhythmia in patients with cerebral hemorrhage was higher than that of cerebral infarction ( P

On the basis of chemical and spectralmethods (IR,1H,13 CNMR),they are ivdentified as kaempferol(Ⅱ),quercetin(Ⅱ),isoquercetin(Ⅳ),kaempferol-3-Oa-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1)-?-D-galactopyranoside(Ⅶ),kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside(Ⅶ),quercetin-3-O-?-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1→6)-?-D-galactopyanoside(Ⅹ Ⅸ),and rutin(Ⅸ),All of them are isolated for the first time from genus Hovenia.
5.Therapy for moderate and advanced liver carcinoma
Journal of International Oncology 2012;39(8):612-615
Due to the latent and highly invasive characteristics of liver carcinoma,a majority of patients are frequently not diagnosed until moderate or advanced stage in the disease process,and usually complicate with cirrhosis.Only 15% -30% of the patients are eligible for radical resection.The overall survival time is about 3-4 months.Therefore,on the basis of early diagnosis and treatment of liver carcinoma,how to improve the treatment effect of the moderate and advanced liver carcinoma,ameliorate the quality of life and prolong the survival time,becomes the focuses and difficulties both at home and abroad.

Magnetic induction method aims at the noninvasive detection of liver iron overload by measuring the hepatic magnetic susceptibility. To solve the difficulty that eddy current effects interfere with the measurement of magnetic susceptibility, we proposed an improved coil system based on the static field magnetization principle in this study. We used a direct current excitation to eliminate the eddy current effect, and a rotary receiver coil to get the induced voltage. The magnetic field for a cylindrical object due to the magnetization effect was calculated and the relative change of maximum induced voltage was derived. The correlation between magnetic susceptibility of object and maximum magnetic flux, maximum induced voltage and relative change of maximum induced voltage of the receiver coil were obtained by simulation experiments, and the results were compared with those of the theory calculation. The contrast shows that the simulation results fit the theory results well, which proves our method can eliminate the eddy current effect effectively.

Objective To explore the effects of ultraviolet on DNA damage in keratinocytes and to observe the protective role of resveratrol for the cells. Methods Comet assay was employed to evaluate the damage after radiation with different doses of UV rays (UVA, UVB and UVC) of 0, 10, 30, 50, 70 and 90 mJ/cm2, and the effects after pretreatment with various concentrations of resveratrol under irradiation with 30 mJ/cm2. Results UVA irradiation (0 ~ 90 mJ/cm2) had no significant effects on HaCaT cells. However, TailDNA%, TailLength, CometLength, TailMoment and OliveTailMoment showed both UVB and UVC induced DNA damage in a dose-de-pentent manner. UVC was more harmful than UVB at the same dose. Conclusions The DNA breakage induced by UVB and UVC is dose-dependent. As compared with UVB, UVC is more harmful to HaCaT cells. Resveratrol exerts a protective effect in HaCaT cells irradiated by UVB or UVC.

Objective To investigate the ability of the four-slice perfusion maps derived by multislice CT(MSCT)perfusion imaging (CTPI) to detect ischemic lesion in rabbit models with the middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO). Methods Sequential dynamic CT studies were performed at four slices in 2 control rabbits and another 8 with MCAO. The volume of critically ischemic lesions on CTPI maps at 1st,2nd and 3rd hour after operation and the volume of infarction measured by postmortem 2,3,5- triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining were analyzed by analysis of variance with random blocks design and linear correlation. Results In 6 of 8 animals of the ischemia group, critically ischemia or infarction was visible on perfusion maps and TTC-staining,while appearing negative in 2 control rabbits. In four-slice CTPI maps, lesions were visualized in 2 of 4 slices at least. The results of analysis of variance demonstrated that the intergroup differences were discovered between 1st , 2nd and 3rd hour after operation, and between MTT map and other CTPI maps (P
