Chinese Journal of Plastic Surgery 2015;31(4):291-295
OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of Metformin on the proliferation and collagen synthesis of the human keloids fibroblasts as well as the effect on phosphorylation of Akt/FoxO1 signal transduction pathway.
METHODSFibroblasts of keloid were divided into control group treated with medium solution and experimental groups treated with different concentrations of Metformin. 48 h later CCK-8 assay was adopted to evaluate cell survival; Western blot was performed to detect the Akt and FoxO1 phosphorylation; and Hydroxyproline reagent kit was used to detect the collagen synthesis.
RESULTSWith different concentrations (30, 60, 90, 120 mmol/L) of Metformin, the absorbance of cultured keloid fibroblasts detected by CCK8 assay decreased by (13.30 ± 2.04)%, (22.64 ± 4.70)%, (54.00 ± 5.34)% and (63.12 ± 3.48)%. The growth of fibroblasts was suppressed by Metformin in a dose-dependent manner. It showed that the level of phoshpo-akt and phoshpo-foxOl in keloids fibroblasts in experimental groups was lower than that in the control group and the collagen synthesis were also decreased in experimental groups, all in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05, P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONSMetformin can effectively inhibit the proliferation and collagen synthesis of the human keloids fibroblasts in vitro, which may be associated with the suppression of phosphorylation of Akt/FoxO1 signaling pathway

2.The relationship between the food restriction and the formation of experimental 8astric ulcer
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1986;0(01):-
On the basis of Shay's ulcer model, we have studied the effects of food re. striction time on the experimental gastric ulcer in rats. The results indicat that each restricted group forms gastric ulcer after ligation of pylorus 18 hr. There are a postive correlation between the restricted time and the severity of gastric ulcer, and a negative correlation between the severity of gastric ulcer and the amount of gastric acid secretion. We suggested that Shay's ulcer model does not belong to peptic ulcer, but belonges to one of the stress ulcers. The restricted time may play an important role in the mechanism for this ulcer model.

Journal of Xi'an Jiaotong University(Medical Sciences) 1982;0(01):-
The values of right and left ventricular ejec-tion fraction (RVEF, LVEF) of 10 normal sub-ject and 44 patients with chronic obstructive pul-monary disease (COPD) were measured with thenon-multigated equilibrium method with NuclearMultiple Function Instrument. The results showthat, the mean RVEF in cor pulmonale was signifi-cantly lower than that in normal subjects. UsingRVEF
4.Diagnosis and treatment of the accessory breast tumors
China Oncology 2000;0(06):-
Purpose:To investigate the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of accessory breast tumors.Methods:Clinical and pathological data of 16 cases of accessory breast tumors were analyzed retrospectively. Results:There were 5 cases of accessory breast fibroadenoma, 2 cases of intraductal papilloma, 9 cases of accessory breast carcinoma. Local mass resection and radical resection were carried out respectively. All these patients had post operative chemotherapy and radiotherapy. 13 cases (81.3%0 were followed up for 1—10 year. As to results, 3 cases died of metastasis in 2,2.5 and 4 years respectively after operation;one case, reoperated because of local recurrence, still survives (over 3 years):and the others recovered well.Conclusions:It is possible for benign or malignant tumor to occur in the accessory breast,and the manifestation of the accessory breast tumors is similar to that of the primary breast tumor. Operation is the first choice for all treatment benign tumor with local mass resection including the whole accessory breast while accessory breast carcinoma should be treated by radical dissection.
5.Clinical and pathological analysis of primary malignant lymphoma of the breast
China Oncology 2000;0(06):-
Purpose: To investigate the diagnosis, pathological characteristics and treatment of primary malignant lymphoma of the breast (PMLB). Methods: Clinical and pathological data of 16 cases of PMLB were analyzed retrospectively. Results: No case was correctly diagnosed before operation. All the 12 cases were operated and identified by pathology, in which total mastectomy, radical mastectomy and modified radical mastectomy were carried out in 5, 3 and 4 patients respectively. Moreover, all cases were combined with post-operative chemotherapy or radiotherapy. 10 cases were followed up 1 - 10 years. 4 cases who survived 22 months on the average died of the tumor spread and metastasis during follows-up, and the others are still alive. Especially, 1 case, recurring 2 times locally, has survived for 4. 5 years after reoperation. Conclusions: The final diagnosis of this disease depends on the pathological examination. The majority of PMLB is non-Hodgkins lymphoma ( NHL), and mostly of B cell origin and are mostly related to the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue ( MALT). Total mastectomy or mastectomy plus axillary nodes dissection is the preferred method of operation and the adequate post-operative chemotherapy is very important.
6.Clinical study of urinary microprotein as predictors of outcome in critically ill patients
Chinese Journal of Nephrology 2005;0(08):-
Objective To evaluate the feacibility of microalbumin(MA),alpha-1 -raicroglobulin (?1-MG) ,N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), retinol-binding protein (RBP)as predictors of outcome in critically ill patients. Methods A prospective study was underwent in 30 critically ill patients.Urinary samples were collected at ICU admission and on the third,seventh ICU day for MA,?1-MG,NAG,RBP measurement.The severity of illness was assessed by APACHE II score calculated on the first ICU day,and the degree of organ dysfunction was assessed using SOFA score calculated on the first,third,seventh ICU day. Results MA,?1-MG,the durations of ICU stay and mechanical ventilation,APACHE II score, SOFA score were relative factors of MODS and death in ICU. There was significant association of APACHE II with MA (r=0.397),?1-MG (r=0.448), and RBP (r= 0.465), respectively. The area under ROC curve of APACHE II score,SOFA score,MA,?1-MG, RBP,NAG to predicate the death in ICU were 0.875 ( P

Chinese Journal of General Practitioners 2008;7(4):261-
The clinical data of 23 cases with emergent hematochezia endoscopically diagnosed as non-ulcerous duodenum diseases were retrospectively analyzed.Majority of cases were misdiagnosed and delayed to transfer to emergency room because of lack of knowledge and experiences of local medical workers.After referral to our emergency department,all 23 cases obtained appropriate management and cured successfully.

Chinese Journal of General Surgery 1994;0(05):-
From 1952 to 1990, 21 cases of malignant tumor of the appendix, including 14 cases of carcinoid tumor of appendix, 4 cases of appendix adenocarcinoma, 2 cases of appendix lymposarcoma and 1 case of appendix cystocarcinoma, were treated in the Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College Among these 21 patients, 16 underwent appendectomy alone, 5 underwent appendectomy first and a right hemicolectomy was performed on later All of the 21 patients were followed up for 5~10 years,the survival rate was 90 5% and 90 5% respectively So if a malignant tumor of the appendix was suspected, a biopsy during operation should be done to determine the pathological type If the diagnosis was clear, the choice of operation mode must be made according to the size and the pathological type of the tumor In selective patient, a right hemicolectomy must be performed on
