1.Progress in diagnosis and treatment of extra-articular manifestations of juvenile idiopathic arthritis
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2021;36(1):73-76
Characterized by chronic arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) refers to a group of rheumatic diseases in children with unknown causes and strong clinical heterogeneity.Most patients have good prognosis, while some may be involved with important extra-articular organs and tissues, including cardiac system damage, pulmonary or pleural lesions, renal amyloid degeneration, uveitis, and so on.Delay in diagnosis and treatment may lead to short-term and/or long-term involvement in vital systems, thus resulting in the aggravation of the disease or poor prognosis, which may decrease their life quality and even threaten their life.Understanding the extra-articular manifestations of JIA is very important to manage disease.
2.Differential profeil proteomic of donor liver subject to ischemia and reperfusion injury during liver transplantation
Chinese Journal of Hepatobiliary Surgery 2011;17(11):886-890
ObjectiveTo identify the proteins presented variation during ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/RI) in liver transplantation (LT).MethodsAt Mar.2009,a total of nine liver sample tissues,three samples obtained from each donor liver at three different time points,were studied.The time points were as follows:(1) the time point immediately after donor liver was harvested (T1) ; (2) the time point just before the anastomosis of hepatic artery and potal vein (T2),during this time period the donor liver was kept in ice cold and transported,then back-table prepared,during time from T1 to T2,ischemia injury occurred; (3) the time after donor reconnected to the recipient (T3),during which the donor liver was subjected to reperfusion injury.The three time points represent normal control,ischemia injury,and reperfusion injury respectively.By using method of 2DE-MALDI-TOF and mass-spectrum,the differential expression of these protein at T1,T2,and T3 time point were compared.ResultsFrom the 1580 proteins that were isolated,19 ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/RI)-related proteins that varied markedly from time point T1 to T2 and from time point T2 to T3 were identified.They were metabolic enzyme,molecular chaperone,redoxase,cytoskeleton protein,signal transduction protein,and binding protein,respectively.The character of each protein was further analized based on their functions.ConclusionsFor the first time,we detected the protein related to I/RI during LT.We obtained independent proteomics information of ischemia injury,and reperfusion injury,respectively.Further functional analyses of these proteins may improve the understanding of the critical biological processes during I/RI.Medicine intervention on the I/RI-related proteins may result in improved survival of the recipients.
3.Effect of aspirin resistance on cardiovascular events in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus patients
Chongqing Medicine 2013;(21):2486-2488
Objective To explore the effect of aspirin resistance on cardiovascular events in non-insulin-dependent diabetes melli-tus patients .Methods 496 patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus received daily aspirin therapy (100mg/d) 4 weeks were recruited from Jun .2006 to Sept .2010 .Platelet aggregation was measured by light transmission aggregometry .The patients were divided into three groups :aspirin resistance group ,aspirin semi-resistance group and aspirin-sensitive group .The clinical bio-chemistry indications and the adverse cardiovascular events were collected .Results 11 .69% of patients were found to be resistant to aspirin therapy ,and 37 .90% of patients to be aspirin semi-responders .There were 67 .48% female in aspirin resistance group and aspirin semi-responders .The preprandial glucose of group AR and ASR was higher than that of group AS (P<0 .05) .The HbA1C and TG of group AR were higher than those of group AS(P<0 .05) .There was statistically significant difference of the rate of car-diovascular events .Conclusion The measure of platelet aggregation should be taken in the diabetic mellitus patients and pay atten-tion on the dose of aspirin recommended .Particular attention is should also devote to the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events .
4.Acid phosphatase assay for measuring the proliferation of tumor cells
Chinese Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2001;24(2):84-86
Objective To establish a simple assay for quick scanning of effective agents in growth inhibition and apoptosis induction. Methods After observing the correlation between cell number and acid phosphatase activity, and between cell apoptosis and acid phosphatase activity, we established a microplate densimetry method to measure the acid phosphatase activity. We also compared the sensitivity with MTT assay and confirmed cell apoptosis by flow cytometry. Results In two cell lines of cancer (Hep G2 and CBRH-7919 cells), the acid phosphatase activity was correlated well with the cell number, and was directly proportional to the cell number in the range of 0.5×103~0.7×103. The coefficient reached to 0.994. After stimulation of phorbel ester (TPA) for one hour, the acid phosphatase activity rose significantly. In contrast, after the inhibition of cell growth by As2O3, the acid phosphatase activity decreased significantly. The higher the concentration of As2O3, the lower the acid phophatase activity. The acid phophatase activity went down significantly when apoptosis in Hep G2 cells was only 3.98% and no apoptosis in CBRH-7919 cells after 24-hour treatment with As2O3. Conclusions The acid phophatase activity of cell may be used to measure cell proliferation and apoptosis. Because of the easiness and quickness, acid phophatase assay might be an ideal approach to scan the effective growth inhibitors and apoptosis inducers in a large number of drugs.
5.On health information in America and its revelation
Chinese Journal of Hospital Administration 2009;25(12):860-862
The US federal government regards health information technology (HIT) as an important action to stimulate growth of the health information economy.To implement HIT,the federal government proposed a tiered plan from organization guarantee,institutional innovation,HIT system design to economy stimulating mechanism,and to health care providers as well.In view of China's HIT development,it is proposed that HIT must proceed with healthcare reform in parallel.Stage-setup by the government,competition among enterprises,and active role of medical service providers constitute fundamental guarantee to ensure HIT go on wheels.Electronic health records of individuals should play key roles in promoting pragmatic and shared medicine health care information system.

China Pharmacy 2001;0(07):-
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the pricing policy on the patent drugs in UK.METHODS: The current pricing policy on patent drugs in UK and the outcome of the policy were analyzed and its characteristics and applicable condition were summarized.RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS: Current pricing policy on patent drugs in UK provided incentives for the research & development as well as innovation of drugs and it helped to keep UK's pharmaceutical industries in the global leading level.However,there is no mechanism within it to take explicit account of therapeutic value of drugs.Also,it provides weak incentives to invest in the most cost-effective yet clinically demanded drugs and it has limited effect on price control of drugs.

Journal of Practical Radiology 2001;0(01):-
Objective To evaluate CT features of hemorrhagic and necrotic polyps of maxillary sinus and nasal cavity.Methods Twenty-nine cases of hemorrhagic and necrotic polyps proved pathologically were collected in this study.Axial,coronal,plain and / or contrast enhanced thin-slice CT scans were performed in all the cases.Results The density of lesion was inhomogene (26/29).The lesions had clear boundary and slight enhancement on contrast-enhanced scan.Expanding of nasal and /or antronasal cavity,compressive bony absorption were often seen in inter-wall of maxillary sinus(13/29).The bony destruction in most of the cases were showed with bony sclerosis(25/29).Conclusion The diagnosis of hemorrhagic and necrotic polyps can be confirmed by CT examination.
