3.Adult dermatomyositis with gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation:a case report and analysis of literature
Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2017;40(7):601-603
Objective To investigate the clinical features and prognosis of adult dermatomyositis with gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation. Methods The clinical data of a adult dermatomyositis with gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation were retrospectively analyzed. And the clinical characteristics of this patient were analyzed, combined with 7 cases reported in the literature. Results Among the 8 cases, 6 cases were females and 2 cases were males, aged 18 to 63 years. The 5 cases had melena, 3 cases had hematemesis, 3 cases had hematochezia and 1 case had hemoptysis. The main treatment was glucocorticoids, immunosuppressive agent, intravenous immune globulin (IVIG), endoscopic hemostasis and angiographic embolization. Four of the 8 cases died. Conclusions Adult dermatomyositis with gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation is rare, but the condition is dangerous and the mortality is high. Dermatomyositis with early onset of abdominal pain, vomiting, melena should be alert to serious complications such as gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation.

Chinese Journal of Ultrasonography 2011;20(9):759-763
Objective To evaluate the change of left ventricular(LV) function by real-time three dimensional echocardiography(RT-3DE) and to explore the clinical value of change of serum adiponectin level in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS).Methods One hundred and twenty patients were divided into MS group and control group according to the diagnostic standard of the nternational Diabetes Federation.Transthorasic 2D ultrasound and RT-3DE examination were performed in all study objects, and serum adiponectin levels were measured.Results Parameter index [including Tmsv16-SD, Tmsv12-SD,Tmsv16- Dif, Tmsv12-Dif, Tmsv16-SD (%), Tmsv 12-SD (%), Tmsv16-Dif (%), Tmsv12-Dif (%)] of 17segment time to minimal systolic volume in MS group was more than that in control group (all P <0.05).Some regional systolic index of LV and serum adiponectin level were less than that in control group (all P <0.05).Compared with the control group, E/E' was lower (P < 0.05).There were significant relations between serum adiponectin level and E/A of mitral valves, E'/A' of mitral annulus and E/E'(r = 0.368,0.493,and -0.347 respectively, P <0.05).Conclusions RT-3DE can rapidly evaluate LV systolic and diastolic synchrony in MS patients.E/E' show an excellent correlation with serum adiponectin level,and it may be a new promising method for routine evaluation of LV diastolic function.

Chinese Journal of Radiological Medicine and Protection 2011;31(1):50-54
Objective To explore the curative effects,prognostic factors,and adverse reactions of different treatment modalities of chemotherapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods151 NSCLC patients were randomly assigned into 3 groups to undergo concurrent chemoradiotherapy ( n = 43 ) ,sequential chemo-radiotherapy ( n = 49 ) ,or pure chemotherapy (n = 59).The clinical data were analyzed.ResultsThe short-term effective rates of the concurrent and sequential chemo-radiotherapy groups were 81.4% and 73.5% respectively with no significantly difference between them,but both significantly higher than that of the pure chemotherapy group ( 39.0% ,both P < 0.05 ).The mortality of the concurrent cherno-radiation group was 53.5% ,significantly lower than those of the sequential chemo-radiotherapy and pure chemotherapy groups (67.3% and 67.8% respectively,both P <0.05).The median survival time of the concurrent chemo-radiotherapy group was 26 months,significantly longer than those of the sequential chemo-radiotherapy and pure chemotherapy groups ( 12 and 11 months respectively,both P < 0.05).The l-year survival rates of the 3 groups were 80.2% ,47.1%,and 45.6%.The 2-year survival rates were 58.2% ,38.5% ,and 24.4% ,and the 3-year survival rates were 32.7% ,27.5% ,and 0,respectively.The white blood cell decrease rates of the grades Ⅲ~Ⅳ of the concurrent chemo-radiotherapy group were significantly higher than those of the other 2 groups (both P <0.05 ).There were no significant differences in the rates of radiation esophagitis and radiation pneumonitis between the concurrent and sequential chemo-radiotherapy groups.Age,performance status score,clinical staging,and treatment modality were the 4 influencing factors in the prognosis of NSCLC ( all P < 0.05 ).Conclusion Relatively safe with tolerable adverse reactions,concurrent chemo-radiotherapy is superior to sequential chemo-radiotherapy,particularly to pure chemotherapy,in increase of median survival time and survival rate in treatment of NSCLC.Age,PS,clinical staging and therapy method are independent indicators influencing the prognosis.

7.Advances in protective effects of thyroid hormone on myocardial mitochondria by sirtuins
Tianjin Medical Journal 2017;45(1):108-112
Many studies have confirmed that thyroid hormone (TH) and mitochondria have protective effects on myocardium. The partial subtype of sirtuins (SIRTs) can also be able to protect myocardium by mitochondria, which includes improving ischemia reperfusion injury, improving the pathological cardiac hypertrophy and improvement of heart failure. SIRTs can achieve the protective effect for myocardium mainly through inhibiting mitochondrial permeability transition pore and mitochondrial membrane permeabilization, maintaining balance of regulation of mitochondrial morphology, promoting mitochondrial biogenesis, maintaining the function of autophagy of impaired mitochondria. At the same time, there is an interaction between TH and SIRTs. At present, the role of mitochondria has become more and more concerned in apoptosis and necrosis and its protective effect on cells. This review summarized the protective effect of SIRTs on myocardium through mitochondrial and the influence of the interaction between SIRTs and TH on myocardial protection of mitochondrial.
8.Research progress of islet alpha cells in the pathogenesis and treatment of diabetes
Chinese Journal of Diabetes 2017;25(2):181-184
[Summary] Glucose homeostasis is precisely regulated by glucagon of pancreaticαcell and insulin ofβcell secretion.Diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by insulin deficiency or insulin resistance (IR). Absolute or relative excess of glucagon secretion may play an important role in the development of diabetes.Previously more studies on the functions of islet βcells were reported,but less on islet αcells. There are a variety of factors involved in the regulation of glucagon secretion,such as nutrients,endocrine hormones and neurotransmitters. High fasting and postprandial blood glucose in patients with diabetes are associated with increased glucagon.Isletαcell dysfunction is closely related to the development of diabetes and the ability of responding to hypoglycemia.Further studies of α cell function and its role on the development of diabetes could provide insight into the treatment of diabetes.
9.Polymorph transformation of solid drugs.
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica 2015;50(5):521-7
For the minimized phase transtorming risk, the most stable polymorph is generally considered as the desirable solid form for pharmaceutical applications. However, occasionally, the stable form may have some shortcomings such as low solubility, dissolution rate and bioavailability, etc. In that case, the metastable form which is kinetically stable at room or lower temperature could be selected. Using metastable form may result in polymorph transformation in pharmaceutical manufacture and storage. Hence, the knowledge of the transformation between solid forms is essential to the development of the drug materials. In this paper, we will review the recent studies in the area of crystal conversion of polymorphs and hydrates, to illustrate some cases to introduce the types, conditions and mechanisms of the crystalline solid transformation.
10.Research progress on correlation between subclinical hypothyroidism and cardiovascular diseases
Tianjin Medical Journal 2016;44(4):509-512
Subclinical hypothyroidism is a metabolic disease, defined by increased thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and accompanied by normal thyroid hormone levels. Recent years, many domestic and foreign studies have showed that sub?clinical hypothyroidism may be related with atherosclerosis and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, which increasing the risk and mortality of cardiovascular diseases. Subclinical hypothyroidism may be associated with lipid metabolic disorders, hypertension, coagulation dysfunction, endothelial dysfunction, abnormal glucose metabolism, homocysteine, C-reactive pro?tein and lipoprotein. At present, controversy persists on the subclinical hypothyroidism. The aim of this study is to review the correlation between cardiovascular diseases and subclinical hypothyroidism.
