1.Surgical management of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms
Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2014;13(10):763-767
Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNENs) can be divided into functional and non-functional.Insulinomas,gastrinomas,glucagonomas and VIPomas are the common types of pNENs.Radical resection is the only way for curing pNENs or for a long-time survival of patients.The basic surgical procedures for pNENs are consist of local resection (tumor enucleation) or anatomical resection [pancreatoduodenectomy (standard or pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy),distal pancreatectomy (combined with splenectomy or spleen-preserving pancreatectomy) and middle segmental pancreatectomy].Liver is the most common site for metastases.Surgical resection is the method of choice for liver metastases.Radiofrequency ablation,transcatheter arterial chemoembolization and liver transplantation could be the adjunctive therapies.
2.Effect of BNIP3-induced autophagy in gastric carcinoma
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2014;(12):1730-1733
Aim To study the effect of BNIP3 on hy-poxia-induced autophagic cell death in gastric carcino-ma.Methods The protein levels of BNIP3 and LC3-Ⅱ of 1 8 cases of gastric carcinoma were studied with immunocytochemistry and Western blot analysis be-tween normal and tumor tissues.The expression of LC3-Ⅱ in SGC-7901 cells was assessed while knock-down of BNIP3 by siRNA in CoCl2-induced hypoxia, and the effect of 3-MA was also studied.Cell viability in hypoxia treatment for 48 h was estimated with cell counting kit-8 (CCK8).Results Compared with nor-mal tissues,the protein levels of BNIP3 and LC3-Ⅱwere increased in tumor tissues.BNIP3 siRNA could decrease the expression of LC3-Ⅱ and enhance the cell viability,while inhibition of autophagy could also in-crease the cell viability in SGC-7901 cells.Conclu-sions BNIP3 may play a role in hypoxia-induced cell death in gastric carcinoma,and the possible mecha-nism may be related to the regulation of autophagy.
3.Research progress of the diagnosis and treatment of gestational diabetes mellitus
Chinese Journal of Diabetes 2017;25(4):365-370
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as any degree of glucose intolerance with the onset or first recognition during pregnancy,excluding diagnosed diabetes or prediabetes before pregnancy.It is one of the most common medical complications of pregnancy.There is almost no agreed diagnostic criteria for GDM until the hyperglycemia and adverse pregnancy outcome (HAPO) published in 2008.IADPSG published new diagnostic criteria for GDM,which is gradually acknowledged by the whole world.IADPSG diagnostic criteria has been adopted in China since 2011.Human insulin is the first-line therapy for GDM.Recently,insulin analogues such as insulin aspart and determir have been approved,and the safety and efficacy of oral antidiabetic drug-metformin are getting more and more attention and certification.Here,we reviewed the research progress of the diagnosis and treatment of GDM.
4.Fecal Microbiota Transplantation and Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Chinese Journal of Gastroenterology 2016;21(8):491-493
Inflammatory bowel disease( IBD),comprising Crohn’s disease( CD)and ulcerative colitis( UC),is a chronic intestinal inflammatory disease and its etiology has not yet been clarified. Studies showed that intestinal microbiota disorder is closely associated with the development and progression of IBD. Currently,fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT)is considered as a special organ transplantation and used in treatment of IBD,Clostridium difficile infection, irritable bowel syndrome,metabolic syndrome,etc. This article reviewed the relationship between FMT and IBD.

Objective To compare the results of different operative methods for old acromioclavicular dislocation. Methods Forty three patients with old acromioclavicular dislocation were treated with three different operative methods: 1)open reduction plus Kirschner wire fixation (9 cases); 2)open reduction plus reconstruction of acromioclavicular ligament (14 cases) and 3)open reduction plus modified Dewar s operation (20 cases). After surgery, the subjective symptoms of the arm, muscular contraction power, function of the shoulder joint and space of acromioclavicular joint in 43 cases were followed up for an average 4.8 years. Results The excellent results following three operative methods were seen in 33% , 50% and 74% respectively. There was no significant difference between Kirschner wire fixation and reconstruction of acromioclavicular ligament (P > 0.05). Modified Dewar's operation was better compared with Kirschner wire fixation and reconstruction of acromioclavicular ligament (P< 0.05). Conclusion A satisfactory surgical procedure for treatment of old acromioclavicular dislocation should accomplish the following points: removal of scar tissue and intra articular cartilaginous fragments, reconstruction of joint stability and effective internal fixation until complete healing of the ligament structures.

Objective: To find out some clues in the personality types of Chinese dental school applicants and provide useful information in the cross-culture research between western and eastern countries, and supply guidance for Chinese educators.Methods:The Chinese version of MBTI (Form G) was used to test the personality styles of 332 dental school applicants from the mainland of China, and the personality styles of dental school applicants between Chinese and English were compared. Results:In mental aptitude, the percentage of introversion (I) type in Chinese samples (56.8)was higher than Extroversion (E) type(43.2), while it was contrary in English samples (15.7 vs. 84.3)and the difference was significant (?~2=111.49, P

Objective To investigate the effect of chronic intermittent hypoxia on blood pressure,sympathetic nerve activity and myocardial mitochondrial oxidative stress status in aged rats.Methods Chronic intermittent hypoxia(CIH)rat models were established.A total of 84 male Wistar rats(3-4 and 23-24 months old,respectively)were randomly and equally divided into four groups according to age:young control group,young CIH group,aged control group and aged CIH group.CIH exposure lasted for 3 weeks.The arterial blood pressure,the frequency of carotid sinus nerve action potential,the lung function,the levels of catecholamine,aconitase/fumarate ratio (A/F),plasma superoxide dismutase(SOD)in the plasma were measured and compared between four groups.Results The arterial blood pressure was significantly higher in young CIH group than in the young control group[(150.4 ±25.6)mmHg vs.(102.2±7.4)mmHg,P<0.01].There was no significant difference in the arterial blood pressure between the aged CIH group[(132.8 ±16.2) mmHg] and the aged control group[(127.1 ± 26.8)mmHg].The minute volume ventilation was significantly lower in the aged control group than in young controlgroup[(331.7±53.5)ml· min-1 · kg-1vs.(554.8±111.9)ml· min-1 · kg-1P<0.05].The min-1 · kg-1 ventilation showed no significant difference between the agedCIH group[(354.1±51.9)ml· min-1 · kg-1]and the aged control group[(331.7 ±53.5)ml· min-1 · kg-1].The rate of CSN frequency change by hypoxia stimulation was lower in the aged control group than in young control group[(6.2± 5.5)times vs.(11.8 ±6.6)times,P<0.01],and was lower in the aged CIH group than in the young CIH group[(22.2 ± 13.5) times vs.(44.2± 12.1) times,P<0.01].The levels of plasma norepinephrine and epinephrine were higher in the young CIH group than in the control group[(39.0±8.9)nmol/L vs.(20.8±10.6)nmol/L,(48.1±13.6)nmol/L vs.(26.7 ± 14.3)nmol/L,both P<0.05].The levels of plasma norepinephrine and epinephrine showed no significant difference between the aged control group and the young control group,also no significant difference was found between the aged CIH group and the aged control group.The A/F ratio was lower in the young CIH group than in the young control group[(0.26±0.13)vs.(0.58 ±0.04),P<0.01].The A/F ratio was lower in the aged control group than in the young control group [(0.29±0.02)vs.(0.58± 0.04),P<0.01],but there was no significant difference in the A/F ratio between the aged CIH group and the aged control group.The level of SOD was significantly lower in the young CIH group than in the young control group [(5.30 ±± 0.90) NU/mgprot vs.(6.10 ± 1.73)NU/mgprot,P<0.05].There was no significant difference in SOD level between aged control group and aged CIH group.Conclusions The effect of CIH on blood pressure in aged rats is different from the youth rats.This study shows adecreasedsympathetic nervous over activity and a reducedmitochondrial oxidative stress in aged rats.Aging probably suppresses two important pathogenic mechanisms,by which CIH affects blood pressure,therefore releases CIH induced blood pressure abnormality.
