1.Clinical characteristics of acute pulmonary embolism following surgery
Chinese Journal of Emergency Medicine 2010;19(6):627-630
Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, therapy and prognosis of acute pulmonary embolism (APE) following surgery so as to advise clinicians to pay more attention to and prevent postoperative APE. Method Thirty-one APE patients following surgery treated in the recent 8 years were analyzed retrospectively. The clinical features, diagnosis, therapy and prognosis of patients were analyzed. Results (1) Post-operative APE patients accounted for 21.9% of all APR patients during that period. The mortality of patients after surgical operation was 3.2%. (2) APE following surgery often occurred in patients after operations of spine, abdomen, gynecological surgery and point replacement as well as in patients with malignant tumor. The APE following surgery often occurred in the first week after surgery. The APE after surgery for malignant tumor occurred sooner. (3) Among many clinical manifestations, dyspnea (90.3%) was the commonest one. Other manifestations included chest pain, palpitation and syncope. The typical triad of dyspnea, hemoptysis and cheat pain was rarely seen. (4) The venous thrombolysis was a absolute contra-indication for massive PE after surgery. Catheter embolectomy and fragmentation, and surgical embolectomy were the alternative treatment. Conclusions Surgery is the essential risk factor of APE. When patients present dyspnea, chest pain or syncope, clinicians should pay attention to APE. Anticoagulation and embolectomy can improve the prognosais of the patients.
2.Difficulties and disputes about laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer
Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2017;16(8):782-786
With the standardized training and spreading,laparoscopic total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer has been spread nationwide.The oncological adequacy and long-term outcomes have also been confirmed by series of randomized controlled trials such as COLOR Ⅱ in Europe.There were still some technical issues,such as safe surgical plane,surgical approach,lymph node dissection,and function-preserving,which were still under debate.In the current article,authors will discuss the issues with clinical experiences about preserving of Denonvilliers facial,preserving of pelvic autonomic nerve,strategy of surgical approach,dissection of lateral lymph nodes,and necessity of protective diverting stoma.
3.Study on Macrolide resistance of mycoplasma pneumoninae
International Journal of Pediatrics 2011;38(6):538-540,544
In recent years,more and more Macrolide resistance of Mycoplasma pneumoniae becomes a hot research.The current studies suggest that the mechanisms of Macrolide resistance are drug-binding site mutations,ribosome methylation,drug efflux,and drug related fire-fighting,in which the drug target 23srRNA gene 2063,2064 mutation is significant.It has been reported that drug-resistant patients have the poor effect,including the long total febrile days and high dressing.For treatment of drug-resistant patients,most studies still use the macrolide,early use of corticosteroids may be effective.It is uncertain whether the increase in resistant strains is related with the use of macrolide.It is significant to carry out future researches in this area for clinical therapy and put off the prevalence of drug-resistant strains.
4.Effects of substance P pretreatment on norepinephrine-induced β1-adrenoreceptor expression in cultured rat cardiomyocytes
Chinese Journal of Anesthesiology 2008;28(7):651-653
Objective To investigate the effects of substance P (SP) pretreatment on the expression of β1-adrenoreceptor(β1-R) induced by norepinephrine (NE) in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyecytes.Methods The cardiomyocytes obtained from 1-3 day old SD rats were cultured for 72 h.The experiment was performed in 2 parts.In part 1 the cells were seeded in 15 well plate and randomly divided into 5 groups (n=3 wells each):control group (C1)and 4 NE groups were exposed to NE 10-9, 10-8,10-7,10-6 mol/L respectively (NE1,2,3,4).In part Ⅱ the.cells were seeded in 12 well plate and randomly divided into 4 groups (n=3 wells each): group I control (C2): group II NE 10-7 tool/L; group Ⅲ (SN)was pretreated with SP 10-6 mol/L 30 minbefore NE 10-7 mol/L and group IV (NSN)was treated with NK-1 receptor antagonist (NK-1 tachykinin receptor antagonist,S3144) 30 min before SP pretreatment.After exposure to NE for 3 h the expression of β1-R in the rat cardiomyecytes was detected using flow cytometry.Results In part Ⅰ the expression of β1-R was significantly higher in group NE1-3 than in control group (C1),with the highest expression in group NF3.In part Ⅱ the expression of β1-R was significantly higher in group Ⅱ (NE) than in control group (C2) while lower in group Ⅲ (SN) than in control group Ⅱ.(NE).There was no significant difference in the expression of β1-R between group Ⅰ (C2) and group Ⅲ and Ⅳ (NSN).Conclusion Substance P pretreatment can inhibit the up-regulation of β1-R expression in cultured rat cardiomyocytes induced by norepinephrine through activating NK-1 receptor.
5.Three-dimensional laparoscopic surgery: a revolutionary technique or a transitional technique
Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2016;15(9):858-860
Three-dimensional (3D) laparoscopic surgery has been developed rapidly in China since 2012.Based on mature two-dimensional (2D) laparoscopic surgery,3D laparoscopic surgery has the same technique as 2D,with similar indication as 2D as well.However,3D laparoscopic surgery can offer better depth description,more accurate spatial location,and less error in operation.It might offer better visional experience if hybrid with virtual reality or with 4K in the future.But in current status,laparoscopy with 3D technique is only a technique with innovation,but not a revolutionary technique.

Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2010;19(4):230-233
Objective To explore the correlation between the family of p16 gene inactivation and prognosis of leukemia, and then to clarify, the pathogenesis of leukemia, and monitor process of leukemia. Methods We used polymerase chain reaction(PCR) to study p16, p15, p18, p19 gene homozygous deletion,by using methylation-sensitive enzyme and PCR technology to investigate p16, p15, p18, p19 gene methylation in leukemia. Results The effective rate with p16 and p15 gene activiation was 27 cases (84.38 %), the effective rate with p16 and p15 gene inactiviation was 11 cases (28.95%), and the total effective rate with p16 and p15 gene activiation was higher than p16and p15 gene inactivation. In case to use single and multi factor Logistic regression, effective rate in cases with p16 and p15 gene inactiviation was lower than that with p16 and p15 gene activation. Conclusion It might be one of parameters for forcasting progression, relapse and prognosis in AL.

10.In silico data mining of the human programmed cell death 5 (PDCD5) sequences
Journal of Peking University(Health Sciences) 2003;0(04):-
Objective:To lay foundation for the functional studies of programmed cell death 5 ( PDCD5 ) and develop new technical pathway for bioinformatics analysis of human functional genes. Methods:Using PDCD5 as the target molecule, intensive bioinformatics analysis of the nucleic acid and protein sequences were conducted. Data mining and comprehensive analysis by sequence against database similarity searching, ortholog structure comparison, expression profile analysis and gene “neighbor” listing were performed. Results: Two human putative pseudogenes on chromosomes 12 and 5, and one mouse putative pseudogene on chromosome 1 were identified. The methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum ortholog was classified as the same fold as ubiquitin and ribosomal protein S13. The C. elegans ortholog, ubiquitin and IAP (inhibitor of apoptosis proteins) belonged to the same expression profile cluster. This cluster was related to biosynthesis and protein synthesis. PDCD5 orthologs in various genomes were adjacent to various ribosomal proteins on the chromosome. Conclusion: The human genome contains at least two processed pseudogenes of PDCD5 . Besides the relationship with cell apoptosis, PDCD5 is predicted to have functional relationship with ubiquitin and participate in the translation regulation.
