1.Memantine and Vascular Dementia
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2008;16(4):289-292
Excitatory amino acid toxicity is one of the mechanisms of vascular dementia. Gluta-mate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in brain. Memantine, a moderate affinity, uncom-petitive and voltage-dependent N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor blocker, can block NMDA receptor-induced intracellular calcium overload and prevent excitotoxicity. It can be used in the treatment of vascular dementia.
2.A study on neuroprotective effect of memantine in hippocampus of rats with vascular dementia
Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2009;18(2):131-133
Objective To probe the neuroprotective effect of memantine in hippocampal CA1 region of rats with vascular dementia(VD). Methods 36 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group,VD group and memantine group,and each group have 12 rats. Rats of VD were treated with a permanent bilateral common carotid arteries occlusion(2-VO). Then memantine was given by intragastric administration.The behavioral abnormalities were investigated by Y-type maze test.The changes of cell morphology and the expressions of neuronal nitric oxide synthase(nNOS) and cysteine proteinase-3 (Caspase-3) of neuron in hippocampal CA1 region were detected by HE stain and immunohistochemistry respectively.The percentage of neuronal apoptosis by TUNEL. Results Compared with VD group and sham-operated group,the performance records of learning and memory(learning records:63.16±1.75,79.25±2.01,50.83±1.80,F =707.91,P <0.01;memory records:53.17±1.85,69.17±1.70,40.67±1.83,F =762.43,P <0.01),the expressions of nNOS (average gray scale:140.23±2.30,175.87±3.34,105.63±3.52,F =1539.67,P <0.01)and Caspase-3 (average gray scale:132.78±5.36,162.78±5.25,99.54±5.06,F =439.37,P <0.01)and the percentage of neuronal apoptosis (33.75±2.70,56.17±3.56,6.33±3.65,F =672.91,P <0.01)of memantine group were in the middle. Conclusion Memantine can improve spatial memory and attenuate neuronal apoptosis by down-regulation excessive expression of nNOS and Caspase-3 in rats with vascular dementia.

4.Modern Research Ideas and Methods on Efficacy of Chinese Herb Prescriptions Originated from Traditional Chinese Medicine
World Science and Technology-Modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2015;(7):1372-1379
Chinese herbal prescription (CHP) is the main method and mean of clinical medication in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The CHP efficacy is the summary of multi-herb function under the guidance of TCM theories. With the development of modern science and technology, the scientific and organic interpretation of scientific connotation of CHP efficacy is a difficult problem in TCM. In this paper, the modern research ideas and methods of CHP efficacy, which greatly enriched the modern research content of CHP efficacy as well as promoted its research and development, were discussed and summarized.
5.Clinical study on the relationship of hypoxia inducible factor-1 α, tumor necrosis factor-α, hepatocyte growth factor and cerebral infarction
Clinical Medicine of China 2014;30(12):1256-1258
Objective To investigate the relationship of hypoxia inducible factor-1 α(HIF-1α),tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and cerebral infarction.Method Two hundred and twelve cases with acute cerebral infarction in the Fourth People's Hospital of Langfang from Jun.to Dec.2013 were divided into progressive cerebral infarction(PCI) group(n =105) and the stability of cerebral infarction (SCI) group (n =107).Meanwhile 100 healthy people were served as control group.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was applied to detect the levels of HIF-1 α,TNF-α and HGF.The PCI group were divided into small groups according to nerve function or infarction lesion size,and the levels of HIF-1 α,TNF-α and HGF of each group.Result The levels of HIF-1 α,TNF-α,HGF in PCI group were (2.3 ± 1.3) ng/L,(4.0 ± 0.5) mg/L and (1.4 ± 0.3) μg/L,significantly higher than those in SCI group ((1.1 ± 0.5) ng/L,(3.1 ±1.3) mg/L and (0.7 ±0.4) μg/L;F=5.42) and control group((0.5 ±0.1) ng/L,(1.8 ±0.4) mg/L and (0.4 ±0.1) μg/L;F =3.14).Meanwhile,the levels of HIF-1 α,TNF-α,HGF in SCI group was significantly higher than that of the control group (F =1.32,P < 0.05).The levels of HIF-1α,TNF-α,HGF in mild PCI group were significantly lower than those in moderate group and severe group,and those in moderate group was lower than those in severe group (F =0.93,4.32,2.31 ; P < 0.01).The levels of HIF-1 α,TNF-α,HGF in small infarction group were (0.6 ± 0.4) ng/L,(2.7 ± 0.4) mg/L,(0.7 ± 0.4) μg/L,significantly lower than those in infarction group ((1.1 ± 0.5) ng/L,(4.4 ± 0.5) mg/L,(1.1 ± 0.2) μg/L; F =4.71,P<0.05) and large infarction group((1.4 ± 0.6) ng/L,(4.8 ± 0.6) mg/L,(1.9 ± 0.5) μg/L; F =2.09,P<0.05).The levels of HIF-1α,TNF-α,HGF in focal infarction group was significantly lower than that in large infarction group and the difference is statistically significant(F =2.45,P <0.05).Conclusion HIF-1 α,TNF-α and HGF serum levels in progressive cerebral infarction are significantly increased,which is related to the function defect and size of infarction.

Chinese Medical Ethics 1994;0(05):-
During medical activity,there are theory and realism spring of that the right of emergency treatment is in conflict with the right of informed consent.Simply investigating responsibilities is of no avail to solve the conflicts.To Interpret the real reasons of the conflict through legal and ethical aspects.To avoid and reduce conflict,the effective measures are that perfecting the rules of relevant law,elucidating the rights and obligations of hospital and medical staff;regulating the contents of informed consent form and strengthening medical ethics education.

Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2017;24(3):166-170
It is still controversial whether or not the severe pneumonia is associated with heart failure in children.Currently,we pay more attention to the pathophysiological procedure of heart failure,such as pneumonia complicated with respiratory failure,shock and myocardial injury.Pay attention to the cardiopulmonary interaction mechanism and systemic inflammatory response.According to different pathophysiological mechanisms,guide the treatment by monitoring the hemodynamic status.
