1.COX-2 and its inhibitors in lung cancer drug resistance
Journal of International Oncology 2015;(3):203-205
COX-2 is the inducible form of cyclooxygenase,which is overexpressed in non-small cell lung cancer,especially in the adenocarcinoma,and is involved in the production of lung cancer drug resistance, reducing the sensitivities of tumor cells to chemotherapy drugs. COX-2 inhibitors have the effects of antitumor and prevention of tumor formation. Therefore,in order to reverse the drug resistance of tumor cells,improve the sur-vival rate and the prognosis of patients with tumor,the application of COX-2 inhibitors as adjuvant chemotherapy and combined with chemotherapy drugs has become a new direction in the treatment of lung cancer.
2.Effects of Muscle Relaxants on Motor Evoked Potentials Monitoring during Intracranial Surgery in Functional Area
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2009;15(3):279-280
Objective To investigate the effects of muscle relaxants on motor evoked potentials (MEPs) monitoring during intracranial surgery. Methods 62 patients with neurological tumor were divided into 2 groups: muscle relaxant group (n=21) and non-muscle relaxant group (n=41). The incidence of successful MEPs monitoring was investigated. Results The incidence of successful MEPs monitoring was 76.2% in the muscle relaxant group and 41.5% in the non-muscle relaxant group (P<0.05). Conclusion Muscle relaxants can affect the MEP monitoring, which would not be administered as possible during anesthesia for intracranial surgery in functional area.

4. Polyethylenimine-mediated BMP-7 gene transfection promotes fracture healing in elderly rats
Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2010;29(5):514-518
Objective: To observe polyethylenimine-mediated BMP-7 gene transfection in promoting fracture healing in elderly rats. Methods: Male SD rats (20-month-old) were randomly divided into 3 groups: group A received BMP-7 gene therapy mediated by polyehtylenimine, group B was treated with normal saline and group C was treated with BMP-7 plasmid without polyethylenimine. Right femoral shaft fracture model was established in all rats. Animals in group A received transdermal injection of pcDNA3. 1-BMP-7/PET; those in group B and C received the same volume of normal saline and pcDNA3. 1-BMP-7, respectively. X-ray photography, histological observation (H-E staining), immunohistochemical staining of collagen type I, biomechanical and bone mineral density test were employed to assess the healing of fracture 2, 4, and 8 weeks after treatment. Results: The results of X ray and H-E staining showed no fracture healing in the 3 groups during the 8th week after fracture; however, the growth of coloboma in group A was better than that of the other 2 groups, with partial bone union between the fracture ends. Staining of collagen type I showed deeper, wider staining in group A compared with the other 2 group. Anti-bending intensity and bone mineral density tests showed that the parameters in group A were better than those of the other 2 groups (P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusion: Polyethylenimine-mediated hBMP-7 gene transfer can effectively promote fracture healing in elderly rats.
5.Novel therapeutic targets for post-traumatic stress disorder:endocannabinoid system
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 2017;33(2):375-379
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a kind of mental disorder that usually occurs after life-threatening and strong mental traumas .Clinical studies showed that the PTSD patients are 3 times more likely to have can-nabis as compared with the healthy people .The use of cannabinoids has a close relationship with the occurrence and clini-cal manifestations of PTSD .Experimental studies revealed that endocannabinoid ( eCB) signal alterations in animal models of PTSD influenced fear memory of the animals , suggesting a close correlation between the eCB system and the pathogenesis of PTSD.Given that the eCB system was reported to regulate affective states and participate in memory consolidation , re-trieval and extinction , targeting the eCB system may improve the emotional and cognitive features of PTSD , thereby holding out great promise for the development of novel approaches for clinical treatment of PTSD .

Objective To observe the effect of Yiqi Huoxue decoction combined with chemical arterial perfusion in treating advanced pancreatic cancer. Methods Review the clinical effect and benefit response of Yiqi Huoxue decoction combined with chemicals (Gemcitabine+PDD) arterial perfusion in treating 43 cases of advanced pancreatic cancer. Results The objective response rate (CR+PR) in treated group was 25.6%. The clinical benefit response rate (CR+PR+NC) in treated group was 67.4%,and the clinical benefits were mainly in the aspects of pain extent and quality of life. The rate of relief from pain was 74.3%. Conclusion The effect of Yiqi Huoxue decoction combined with chemicals (Gemcitabine+PDD) arterial perfusion in treating advanced pancreatic cancer was reliable,and the clinical benefit response was good.

Objective To explore the relationship between the size of the kidney and gender,age,height,weight,waist circumference then derive an estimation formula of a normal kidney size for different people.Methods We investigated 1 000 normal cases who accepted the examination in Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from December 2011 to April 2012,including 462 males,538 females,aged 21-78 years.All the investigated subjects were healthy except for hypertension,diabetes,coronary heart disease.Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr),fasting glucose,uric acid,routine urine test were all in the normal range.Height,weight,and waist circumference were measured for all the subjects.The renal length and transverse diameter in supine coronal sections,anteroposterior diameter in vertical cross-section of the renal hilum were measured by the same technical experts with Philip iU22 C5-1,3.5 MHz convex array probe.Results The right and left kidney size both are significantly related to height (right r=0.845,left r=0.876,P<0.01).By multiple regression analysis,there was a significant association between height,weight,body surface area and kidney size (R2>0.5).Linear regression formula for the kidney length and the height(H,cm):Kidney length of men:right 0.059×H+0.144; left:0.061 ×H+0.287.Kidney length of women:right 0.039×H+3.679; left:0.035×H+4.454.Regardless of gender,the formula of left kidney length:0.052× H+0.721.Linear regression formula about the left kidney length and the height,body weight and body surface area (unit:H cm,W kg,BSA m2):0.114×H+0.139×W-10.287×BSA+2.112.Conclusion There is the best correlation between kidney length and height.Height,weight,body surface area have great influence on kidney size.
