1.Neuroprotective mechanisms of histone deacetylase inhibitors in ischemic stroke
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2010;18(5):358-362
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) catalyze the deacetylation of histone and nonhistone proteins. They play important roles in regulating chromatin remodeling and gene transcription,and that aberrant chromatin remodeling and transcriptional dysregulation are associated with many neurodegenerative diseases. Preclinical studies have suggested that histone deacetylases inhibitors (HDACIs) can target diverse pathophysiologies of ischemic stroke,not only reduce neuronal damage and infarct volume,but also promote the neuronal plasticity and functional recovery after ischemia. This article mainly reviews the neuroprotective mechanisms of HDACIs in ischemic stroke.
2.Quality control of flow cytometric immunophenotyping
Chinese Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2011;34(5):389-394
Flow cytometric immunophenotyping has evolved from two-parameter quantitative measurement of peripheral blood lymphocytes to five-or more parameter qualitative evaluation of bone marrow and lymph node in hematopathology.Leukemia/lymphoma immunophenotyping represents an important addition to histomorphology in the diagnosis,classification and monitoring of hematolymphoid neoplasms.The complexity of five-or more parameter analyses and the interpretation of the data rely on standardization and validation of the instrument,the reagent and the procedure.In addition,clinical flow cytometry laboratories in U.S.A are required to document proficiency testing,sample preparation as well as accuracy,specificity,sensitivity and precision of methodology.CLSI and UCCC recommend that each laboratory should validate its own qualitative and quantitative procedures.This paper introduces the procedures for validation and quality control in a clinical flow cytometry laboratory in the United States.
3.Challenge and strategy for prevention of myopia in China
Ophthalmology in China 2006;0(06):-
The current prevalence of myopia has been as high as 27.65%~53.80%among adolescents in Chinese schools.The major reasons are too much near-work activity and lack of outdoor activity for a long time.In order to reduce the prevalence of myopia in Chinese adolescents,we suggest that Chinese students should have 3.5 hours outdoor activity everyday,including 30 minutes travel between home and school,1 hour outdoor activity between classes,1 hour outdoor sport class at school,and 1 hour outdoor activity after school.

Objective To investigate the Toxoplasma gondii infection status in pregnant women with history of adverse preg?nancy and risk factors in Bazhou area,Hebei Province. Methods A total of 302 pregnant women with the history of adverse pregnancy were chosen as respondents(an experimental group)in the hospital from March 2012 to December 2015,and 197 pregnant women without the history of adverse pregnancy as a control group. TOX?IgG and TOX?IgM were detected by using ELI?SA in two groups. The risk factors of Toxoplasma infection were surveyed by questionnaires. Results The total positive rate of Toxoplasma antibodies was 28.15%(85/302)in the experimental group,which was significantly higher than that[9.64%(19/197)]in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(χ2=24.76,P<0.05). The positive rates of TOX?IgM,TOX?IgG and TOX?IgM+TOX?IgG were 6.95%(21/302),18.54%(56/302),and 2.65%(8/302)respectively in the ex?perimental group,which were higher than 2.03%(4/197),7.61%(15/197),and 0%(0/197)respectively in the control group (χ2=6.07,11.67,3.76,all P<0.05). The questionnaire survey showed that the proportions of keeping pets,cutting board re?gardless,liking to eat hot pot or barbecue,eating raw meat,often eating in the restaurant in the pregnant women with Toxoplas?ma infection were higher than those in the pregnant women without Toxoplasma infection,and the differences were statistically significant(χ2=22.57,3.96,5.87,7.40,4.86,all P<0.05),and therefore,the above unhealthy habits may be important risk factors. Conclusions Toxoplasma infection could lead to adverse pregnancy outcomes. Therefore,the above?mentioned unhealthy habits should be avoided,especially during pregnancy period.

BACKGROUND:To maintain the long-term effect of ful crown largely depends on the health of periodontal tissues. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of CAD/CAM zirconia al-ceramic crown restoration on the state of periodontal health. METHODS:Sixty-four abutments of 55 patients were randomly divided into two groups:the experimental group included 32 abutments of 29 patients which would be restored by CAD/CAM zirconia al-ceramic crowns;the control ed group included 32 abutments of 26 patients which would be restored by Ni-Cr al oy porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations. The volume of gingival crevicular fluid and the levels of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-αin the two groups were examined at the pre-restoration and post-restoration stages. Meanwhile, periodontal clinical indicators, including sulcus bleeding index, probing depth, plaque index and attachment loss were recorded. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:No difference in various indexes was found in the experimental group before and after restoration (P>0.05). At 12 months after restoration, in the control group, the volume of gingival crevicular fluid, the levels of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α, sulcus bleeding index, probing depth, and plaque index were al increased (P>0.05);meanwhile, these indexes in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). Experimental findings suggest that the CAD/CAM zirconia al-ceramic crown restoration is more favorable to the health of periodontal tissues.
