1.Dynamic changes of epidermal growth factor and its receptor in neonatal rats with intestine injury
Chinese Journal of Perinatal Medicine 2008;11(3):173-176
Objective To determine the dynamic changes of ileum epidermal growth factor(EGF),transforming growth factor-α(TGF-α)and epithelial growth factor receptor(EGFR)in neonatal rats with intestinal injury and to investigate their role in the neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis(NEC). Methods One-day-old Wistar rat pups were divided into two groups.The rats in the lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-injected group(n=40)received an intraperitoneal injection with 5 mg/kg LPS and those in the control group(n=8)did not.Control group and LPS-injected group at 1,3,6,12 and 24 h following LPS challenge were sacrificed for histological evaluation of NEC and for measurernents of EGF,EGFR,EGFR mRNA and TGF-α mRNA. Results Compared with the control group(0.12 0.17).the LPS-iniected pups showed a significant increase in injury scores at 1,3,6,12 and 24 h(1.28±0.62,1.75±0.74,1.98±0.75,2.85±0.41 and 2.35士0.63,respectively)(P<0.01).EGF protein levels at 1,3,6,12,24 h[(235.9±44.3)pg/mg prot,(231.8±30.0)pg/mg prot,(223.3±48.1)pg/mg prot,(211.7±47.0)pg/mg prot and(221.4±39.0)pg/mgprot,respectively]were significantly lower than that of the control group[(287.7±42.6)pg/mg prot](P<0.05).There was a negative correlation between the EGF levels and the grade of intestinal injury within 24 h(r=1.000,P<0.01).The expression of EGFR protein and mRNA was increased after LPS administration.There was no correlation between the EGFR protein and the grade of intestinal injury(r=0.800,P>0.05).The expression of TGF-α mRNA was significantly up-regulated at 1 and 3 h following LPS injection. Conclusions Reduced levels of EGF may play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of NEC.
2.Thinking of improving management of hospital medical periodicals
Chinese Journal of Medical Science Research Management 2009;22(4):247-249
The management of hospital medical periodicals is now facing many realistic problems such as management system of editorial department, ability of editorial team, quality of articles and outside living environment. Co-publishing periodicals with pharmaceutical enterprises, with foreign publications and innovating publishing model of periodicals have been adopted by some domestic hospitals. By studying cases of periodical management innovation, and summing up the latest domestic point of view on medical periodical management, this paper held the view that the hospital medical periodicals management should be grouped into the framework of hospital scientific research management. Basically, the hospital should focus on solving the problem of management system in priority;developing in a way of specialization, collectivization and brand-orientation;establishing of a high-level editorial team;strengthening international communication and publishing periodicals according to international rules.
3.Simultaneous determination of four constituents in Canarii Fructus by RP-HPLC
Chinese Traditional Patent Medicine 2017;39(4):773-776
AIM To establish a RP-HPLC method for the simultaneous content determination of four constituents in Canarii Fructus.METHODS The analysis of Canarii Fructus methanol extract was performed on a 30 ℃ thermostatic Hypersil ODS column (4.6 mm × 200 mm,5 μm),with the mobile phase comprising of acetonitrile0.1% phosphoric acid flowing at 1.0 mL/min in a gradient elution manner,and the detection wavelength was set at 237 nm.RESULTS Gallic acid,protocatechuic acid,chlorogenic acid and epicatechin displayed good linear relationships within the ranges of 0.525-10.500 μg/mL (r =0.999 9),0.700-14.000 μg/mL (r =0.999 9),0.575-11.500 μg/mL (r =0.999 9) and 0.550-11.000 μg/mL (r =0.999 9),whose average recoveries were 99.05% (RSD=1.4%),98.73% (RSD=0.8%),98.69% (RSD=1.3%) and 99.47% (RSD=1.1%),respectively.CONCLUSION This simple,sensitive and relible method can be used for the quality control of Canarii Fructus.
4.Pathogenesis and interventions of cancer-related sarcopenia
Chinese Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2015;23(3):183-188
The pathogenesis of cancer-related sarcopenia is complicated,involving all aspects of tumor and the body's metabolism,mainly related to accelerated proteolysis and insufficient protein synthesis.Cancerrelated sarcopenia can predict antineoplastic-induced dose-limiting toxicities,increase complications,and reduce survival rate.The interventions of cancer-related sarcopenia includes nutrition,exercise,hormone therapy and other interventions.A single treatment can not reverse clinical outcome.Various interventions are still in the investigation stage,in which more evidence-based studies are needed.
5.Clinical efficacy of one-visit versus two-visit endodontic treatment with nickel-titanium rotary instruments and ultrasonic irrigation unit
Journal of Practical Stomatology 1996;0(02):-
Objective:To study clinical efficacy of one-visit versus two-visit root canal therapy for pulpitis, apical periodontitis and taintless teeth with nickel-titanium rotary instruments and ultrasonic irrigation unit. Methods: A total of 309 patients with 338 teeth were selected. The teeth were classified into pulpitis group, apical periodontitis group and taintless teeth group. Patients were randomly assigned to either the one-visit or two-visit root canal therapy, the treatment effects were evaluated with clinical trial and radiography after 3 days, 1 week, 1 month and 3 months. Results: The short-term outcome was changes in apical bone density by using the periapical index (PAI), long-term outcome exhibited equally improvement in clinical curative effect in both groups. Although one-visit root treatment could cause more intensive postoperative pain than that of two-visit endodontic treatment during 1-3 days, the indisposition could be eliminated by using medicine. Conclusion: By using of the nickel-titanium rotary instruments and canal ultrasonic irrigation unit, the cure rate of root canal therapy of one-visit and two-visit endodontic treatment has been improved, with no significant difference between two groups, so that one-visit root treatment can be used in clinic.
6.Analysis on problems in patent management in hospitals and countermeasures
Chinese Journal of Medical Science Research Management 2010;23(3):174-176,200
Patent competition has become one of the key issues of global competitions in economy,science and technology. In hospitals, the patent management strategy provides guidance for and impels knowledge innovation. However, hospital management is quite weak in China, which may have been caused by various reasons, such as the over enthusiasm for published paper and the technological achievement contrasted with negligence in patent application and exploitation. In the paper, countermeasures are proposed,which include the whole process management during the scientific research, setting up detail targets and standard procedures for patent management, training patent management staff, et al.
