1.New perspectives of glycogen storage disease
International Journal of Pediatrics 2011;38(1):62-65
Glycogen storage diseases (GSD) are a group of inherited disorders characterized by enzyme defects that affect the glycogen metabolism. Hypoglycemia, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly and growth retardation are the main clinical manifestations. The enzymes affecting glycogen synthesis and degradation are varied.Consequently, the clinical manifestations are different because of different enzyme defection. Most patients treated regularly can obtain the normal growth and grow to adults, but still can be accompanied long-term complications by adulthood. Now some scientists find new modified cornstarch is superior to standard therapy in maintaining blood glucose levels. Gene therapy is still in the experimental animals.

3.C-terminal proteomics: strategies for characterization of protein C-terminus using MS-based techniques.
Chinese Journal of Biotechnology 2014;30(7):1083-1093
C-termini of proteins often play an important role in various biological processes, such as the transcription and translation from DNA to protein and also participating in various biological regulations. The determination of protein C-terminus is so crucial because it provides not only distinct functional annotation, but also a way to monitor the proteolysis-modified proteins. Based on the biological mass spectrometry, a series of novel methods and technologies were developed both for qualitative and quantitative analyses of protein C-terminus. These methods or technologies can be applied to accurate and effective protein C-terminus profiling, including the sequences and quantitative information of C-termini, which reveals the biological function of C-termini in life's activities and provides a better understanding of the degradation of mature proteins. Combined with our research, this review highlights the improvements in C-terminal proteomics study in the past decades, including the methodologies for recognition and identification of C-terminus, as well as the enrichment strategies for protein C-terminus.

4.Theory analysis and research on the dispelled stress shielding on artificial hip joint
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2013;(39):6875-6880
BACKGROUND:For reducing the stress shielding, a lot of the schemes have adopted, and there is no great improvement although via the trial and the application for several ten years. It comes from a root which is the combination by thigh bone (abbreviation of the bone) and metal ic handle (abbreviation of the handle) which causes the serious problems of absorption of bone quality, and this kind of stress shielding effect is produced by abnormal stress and abnormal strain, and affected by various factors, so there is no effective and applicable method to solve this problem.
OBJECTIVE:To select the primary porous layer scheme as the subject of the study and entirely change the appearance and inherent quality as the metal ic handle that cannot transmit the stress is the key to eliminate the stress shielding;making the senior porous layer with the effective measure is the basis to eliminate stress shedding and can solve the disaster and partial inferior position aroused by the primary porous layer.
METHODS:The cobalt-chromium-molybdenum al oy smal metal ic spherules with equal diameter were used to manufacture the senior porous layer structure. The structural member employed in the thigh bone could separate the handle from the bone. This structural member welded on the plane of bone neck could fix the handle with calcar osteotomy surface. And these structural members had an ability to eliminate al the stress shieldings on the artificial hip joint surface.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The senior porous layer was made with cobalt-chromium-molybdenum al oy smal metal ic spherules with the same diameter (1.00-1.29 mm), and the surface of the porous layer was plated with high property of medium layer al oy and arranged orderly and inseparable, and then connected with active diffusion welding technology. The diameter of al the holes was 155-200μm and distributed evenly which was benefit for the bone unit to grew. The al oying of metal materials, ceramic of al oy surface and control ing of size and number of wear particles can solve the bone dissolution of the surrounding porous layer of bone, metal dissolution as wel as its pure cobalt and chromium particle toxicity, cancerization and leukemia. A stipulation of theoretical basis was to eliminate the handle rigidity firstly that could made the separation of handle from the bone became the premise for eliminating the stress shielding. The calcar osteotomy surface grew into the pores of the structural member welded on plane of bone neck could fix the handle, and that was the basis for eliminating the stress shielding. The common roles can eliminate the stress shielding in thigh bone, and the stress shielding on acetabulum is easily to eliminate.
5.Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation protects against intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2016;20(6):861-867
BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels have good proliferation and paracrine functions, which have irreplaceable advantages in the treatment of intestinal diseases. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation on intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. METHODS:Forty-eight Sprague-Dawley rats were enroled to make animal models of ischemic reperfusion injury of the intestine, and then model rats were randomized into experimental and control groups. After modeling, 1 mL bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels or the same volume of normal saline were injected into the intestinal mucosa of rats in the two groups, respectively. At hours 0, 2, 6, 24, 72, 120 after injection, serum diamine oxidase,tumor necrosis factor α, and D-lactic acid levels were detected by ELISA method. At 24 hours after injection, rat intestinal tissues were taken and observed pathologicaly under light microscopy, and their close connections were observed under transmission electron microscope. ZO-1 protein levels were detected by immunohistochemistry method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, the serum diamine oxidase, tumor necrosis factor α, and D-lactic acid levels were significantly lower in the experimental group at hours 6 and 24 after injection (P < 0.05). Intestinal necrosis, vilous edema, intestinal congestion and inflammatory cel infiltration in the experimental group were milder than those in the control group. In addition, the ZO-1 protein expression in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group. Experimental results show that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation into the intestinal mucosa can improve the intestinal mucosal permeability in rats with intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2008;31(29):4-7
Objective To investigate the factor that related to neoplasm from the clinicopathologic character of gallbladder polyps, and identify the reciprocal effectiveness of these factors. Method Three hundred and forty-seven patients who were underwent operation with gallbladder polypoid lesions were reviewed. Results Logistic regression analysis showed, only 5 parameters were significant for the prediction of neoplastic lesions, including age of the patient (P =0.015), the number of polyps (P=0.018), the maximal diameter (P=0.000), echo property (P=0.000), as well as the position of polyps (P=0.030),of which the maximal diameter was the best one to predict the neoplasm polyps. Further analysis with HOC curve showed that 0.925 cm, the diameter of polyps, was the critical point to calculate the polyp was neoplasm or not. Conclusions Age of the patient , the number of polyps , the maximaldiameter, the position of polyps, and echo property are independent factors in predicting gallbladder neoplastic lesions. The size of the polyps is the most significant one among the factors to predict gallbladder neoplasm with its critical point of 0.925 cm.
9.The pituitary-bone axis in bone metabolism
Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 2011;27(2):184-188
Recent studies have shown that pituitary hormones, including thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), follicle stimulating hormone(FSH), adrenocorticotropic hormone(ACTH), and oxytocin(OT)may actually bypass their target endocrine organs and affect the skeleton directly. Therefore, a new conception, pituitary-bone axis is proposed. This breakthrough sheds a new light on the function of pituitary hormones and the pathogenesis of osteoporosis associated with hyperthyroidism, menopause or pregnancy, and even osteonecrosis after using glucocorticoids. In addition, it is conducive to give the reference guidance for clinical treatment of metabolic bone diseases and new drug development.
10.Magnetic compression anastomosis: a promising technique in the further development of minimal invasive surgery
Chinese Journal of Hepatobiliary Surgery 2011;17(8):621-623
Magnetic compression anastomosis (MCA)involves the use of two rare-earth magnets that attract to each other transmurally between two internal organs, resulting in compression and subsequent fistula formation to create a nonsurgical enteric, vascular, or biliary anastomosis with therapeutic aims. The magnetic vascular coupler allows a sutureless anastomoses between arteries and veins by using interventional radiological techniques. The MCA technique significantly reduces ischemic time during anastomosis, and has the advantages of low invasiveness and simplicity. It is a rather effective method for recanalizing between various hollow viscera, creating anastomosis such as gastrojejunostomy, choledochojejunostomy, or choledochoduodenostomy.Furthermore, this novel technique is considered to be a feasible and alternative reconstructive method for patients who develop significant bile duct complications following hepaticojejunostomy and living donor liver transplantation. MCA is a promising and novel technique in the further development of minimal invasive surgery.
