Chinese Journal of Clinical Infectious Diseases 2011;4(3):163-167
Objective To investigate the distribution of aminoglycoside modifying enzyme genes (AMEs) and 16S rRNA methylase genes in drug-resistant strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Methods Twenty strains of drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated from sputum and wound secretion samples collected from the First People's Hospital of Huai' an in Jiangsu province. Eight AMEs [aac(3)-Ⅰ , aac(3)-Ⅱ, aac(6')-Ⅰb,aac(6')-Ⅱ, ant{2)-Ⅰ ,ant(3)-Ⅰ , ant(4')-Ⅰ , aph(3')-Ⅱb] and 6 16S rRNA methylase genes (armA, rmtA, rmtB, rmtC, rmtD, npmA) were analyzed by PCR and verified by DNA sequencing. Results Out of 20 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, aac(6')-Ⅱ was positive in 8 strains (40.0% ) , ant2- Ⅰ in 8 strains (40.0% ) , aac(3)-Ⅱ in 5 strains (25.0% ) , aac(6')- Ⅰ b in 2 strains (10.0% ) and rmtB in 1 strains (5.0% ) , respectively. The rest 9 genes were not detected. Among 2 strains harboring aac(6')- Ⅰ b, DNA sequencing confirmed that 1 was aac(6')- Ⅰ b (the clssical type) and another was aac(6')- Ⅰ b-cr. Conclusion Gene aac(6')- Ⅰ b-cr exists in drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and it has modifying effect on both aminoglycosides and quinolones.

Chinese Journal of Orthopaedics 2010;30(4):346-350
Objective To observe the short-term fusion rate of using osteophyte filled cage in ante-rior cervical disectomy and fusion. Methods From May 2007 to May 2009, 103 patients receiving anterior cervical disectomy, spine fusion by different surgeons were performed with cages containing exclusively au-tologous osteophyte collected from both anterior and posterior vertebral edges adjacent to the intervertebral space. There are 69 males, 34 females, from 25 to 77 years of age, average 53.6 years. 60 patients received one level fusion. 33 and 10 patients received two-level and three-level fusion respectively. Patients were re-viewed 3 months after operation and fusion was evaluated by X-ray film, reconstructive CT and MR. Results 1. Only 1.9% (2/103) of patients' X-ray films indicate non-fusion (internal fixation failure) while 31.7% (32/ 103) of patients' CT and 30.1% (31/103) of patients' MR indicate non-fusion or being confusing to make a diagnosis. 2. The diagnostic coherence between CT and MR as to evaluate fusion is good (kappa=0.686, P= 0.00). 3. The total fusion rate was 77.7%(80/103) while the highest fusion rate achieved by single surgeon was 90%(18/20). The total one level fusion rate was 80%(48/60) while the highest rate by single surgeon was 88.2%(15/17). The total two-level fusion rate was 78.6%(26/33) while the highest rate by single sur-geon was 90%(9/10). The total three-level fusion rate was 60%(60/100) while the highest rate by single surgeon was 100%(3/3). No statistic significant difference in fusion rate was found between any two of the three groups. Conclusion The method of using osteophyte filled cage can acquire ideal short-term fusion rate in one and two-level anterior cervical disectomy, fusion and plate fixation.

Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2013;20(4):526-528
Objective To explore the clinical effect of cognitive function training joint hydrochloride donepezil in the treatment of cerebral stroke cognitive dysfunction.Methods 60 cerebral stroke patients with cognitive dysfunction were divided into two groups randomly,each group 30 cases.The patients of the two groups were given corresponding improving circulation and other conventional treatment measures,including giving hydrochloride donepezil treatment to A group and cognitive function training on the based treatment of group A to group B.Before treatment and after treatment 1 month,3 months,clinical dementia rating scale(CDR),simple mental state scale of mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and daily life events scale (ADL) ability evaluation were compared between the two groups.Results Of the two groups,CDR scores [(2.3 ± 0.5) points,(1.9 ± 0.6) points] and ADL [(43.3 ± 12.5) points,(39.6 ± 12.2) points] were lower than those before treatment [(2.6 ± 0.6) points,(2.6 ± 0.5) points,(49.6 ± 11.2) points,(48.3 ± 12.5) points] (all P < 0.05),and MMSE scores [(20.6 ± 3.2) points,(21.0 ±3.5) points] were no different to those before treatment [(19.3 ± 3.5) points,(19.6 ± 3.2) points] ;3 months after treatment,CDR scores [(1.6 ± 0.5) points,(1.3 ± 0.5) points],MMSE scores [(23.3 ± 3.5) points (25.6 ±3.2)points] and ADL scores[(39.6 ± 11.2)points (33.3 ± 12.5)points]were significandy improved,and which of B group improved obviously.Conclusion Cognitive function training joint hydrochloride donepezil in the treatment of cerebral stroke cognitive dysfunction is more effective than hydrochloride donepezil alone,and can more obviously improve the symptoms of patients,and promote the quality of life,and it is worth for clinical application.
6.Research progress of Wnt signaling pathway and its interaction with other signaling pathways in osteoarthropathy
Chinese Journal of Endemiology 2021;40(3):243-247
Osteoarthropathy is a progressive disease that causes the degeneration of articular cartilage due to biological and mechanical factors. The destruction of the articular cartilage matrix and the reduction of articular cartilage cells are the core part of its pathological development, and subchondral bone, synovial membrane and joint capsule are also damaged. The Wnt signaling pathway not only plays an essential role in human development and the maintenance of adult tissue homeostasis, but also functions in the joint formation, articular cartilage development, and the occurrence and development of osteoarthropathy. It has become increasingly popular in joint pathology. In this paper, authors attempted to review the research progress of Wnt signaling pathway and its interaction with other signaling pathways in osteoarthropathy.

9.A fifty-year history of lung transplantation
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2007;0(31):-
Lung transplantation is the unique method to cure pulmonary tuberculosis at final stage. This paper reviewed the history, indication and contraindication, method of donor and recipient selection and donor preservation, operation methods, postoperative complications and protocol for complications to well understand issues in lung transplantation. Moreover, lacking of donors and increasing mortality of patients waiting for transplantation are urgent problems. With technique development, prognosis amendment, and improvement of survival rate and quality of life, donor source becomes important. Many studies have been conducted to explore the application of cadaveric lung, and several animal trials have been successful. In addition, scope of in vivo pulmonary lobes transplantation is increasing. Based on split liver transplantation, split double-lung transplantation is developed. This method utilizes existed donor sources, and provides options for patients waiting for transplantation.
