1.Advances in functions of calmodulin in Alzheimer's disease
Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2017;36(3):340-343
Calmodulin,as an important signaling regulatory protein,widely exists in eukaryotic cells and participates in a variety of physiological activities.Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a typical neurodegenerative diseasemostly affecting the old people.Senile plaques (SP) caused by amyloid protein deposition and neurofibrillary tangles (NTF) caused by over-phosphorylation of Tau protein in the brain are the two major neuropathological hallmarks of AD.Neuronal apoptosis induced by dysregulation of calcium homeostasis also plays a significant role during this pathological process.Recent studies have found that calcium and its downstream receptor,calmodulin,are closely associated with the pathogenesis and progress of Alzheimer's disease.This article reviews the current development and the latest research progress on the effects of calmodulin on β-amyloid protein generation and deposition,neurofibrillary tangle formation,synaptic plasticity in AD around the world,comprehensively discusses the role of calmodulin in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.
2.Influencing factors of choosing community health centers among Shanghai urban residents
Chinese Journal of General Practitioners 2012;11(9):687-688
Random clustering was conducted among a total of 1068 residents aged 18 years or older at a certain Shanghai community.And they completed a questionnaire survey.Logistic data processing and model building were performed.The respondents were willing to go to a community health center for the following reasons:close proximity (88.4%),excellent service attitudes (40.4%) and low drug prices (37.8%).No statistically significant differences existed in terms of first choices of community health service,occupation,monthly income and-walking distance (P > 0.05).However,statistically significant differences existed in education level,age and chronic diseases (P < 0.05).
4.Advances of programmed death ligand 1 and its inhibitor in non-small cell lung cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2015;(8):628-630
Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1 ),which is highly expressed in NSCLC,can be divided into two categories:membrane PD-L1 and soluble PD-L1 .PD-L1 participates in tumor immune escape through combining with its receptor.PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitors have entered the phase Ⅰ studies and showed a good application prospect.It is also found that the sensitivity of PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitors is strongly associated with the expression of PD-L1 in tumor.Therefore,PD-L1 can be used as a biomarker to pre-dict its curative effect.

Objective:To improve the method for isolating platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Methods:Whole blood was collected from 8 healthy donors and then PRP was separated by both the tube method and the syringe method respectively. Samples were activated to get serum rich-in growth factors (SRGF).Platelets in the SRGF were counted and the level of TGF-?1 was assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results:The end product of syringe method has both a higher platelet count in PRP (P=0.003) and a higher level of TGF-?1 in SRGF(P=0.041) than that of tube method.Conclusion:The syringe method is an effective method in preparation of PRP.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between Internet addiction disorder(IAD),Internet addiction tendency(IAT) and behavior type A of young students aged ≥16 years in urban districts,Tianjin.Based on the result,the intervention resolution suggestion was put forward.Methods 4 484students(male2 331,female2 153) anonymously completed the Questionnaire on Situation of Internet Using of Students compiled for this study and the Questionnaire on types of Northern Chinese adult's Behavior.All data was recorded with the evaluating system for adolescent Internet addiction.Result There are 306(6.82%) cases of IAD and 600(13.83%) of IAT among the students.The screened positive rate in boys was 9.87% for IAD and 15.66% for IAT,which significantly higher than those in girls(3.53%,10.92%).The rates in students with behavior type A and type M were the same but significantly higher than that in students with behavior type B.After weighing cases by power on learning stage and sex,the results showed the prevalent rates of IAD and IAT in students with behavior type A and type sub-A were significantly higher than those in students with behavior type M,type sub-B and type B.After weighing cases by power only on learning stage,the positive rates of IAD were higher in students with behavior type A(8.87% in high school students,11.11% in college students) than those in students with type M(7.77%,7.81%) and type B(4.35%,4.44%).Conclusions The results show a significant relationship between IA and behavior type A in students.It should be strengthened to take psychological intervention for young students,especially for students with high risk of IA and IAT in senior high schools.

Objective To know the prevalence and distribution of Internet Addiction Disorder(IAD) among the adolescent students in urban districts in Tianjin.Methods This survey was carried out during November,2006 to April,2007 with Stratified cluster random sampling method.8225 questionnaires were valid among 8694 participants.Xing Yi's IAD diagnosis standard was used on the survey.Internet Addiction Tendency(IAT)by our definition was those students who had 3 or 4 of 10 indicators.The national standard population proportion of school students from junior high school to college in 2000 were used in weighing cases by power.Results 1.The detection rates of IAD between students online 2,3 or 4 hours per day were significantly different of the check out rate of IAD from the students on-line 2,3,or 4 hours per day,except time factor in the indicators;2.The detection rates of IAD between students with different learning stage or education system were also significantly different;the highest rate was among the students at special technical secondary school(11.69%),then followed by technical college and college students(6.74% and 6.73%),and junior high school and senior high school students(5.98% and 5.95%).The detection rates of IAT were increased by learning stage;the lowest rate was 8.65% in junior high school students,followed by 12.11% in high school students,13.96% in technical secondary school students,15.58% in technical college students and 16.73% in college students;3.After weighing case by power on learning stage or education system,the total IAD prevalence was 6.90%,9.50% for boys and 4.17% for girls.Total IAT prevalence was 11.78%,14.43% for boys and 8.96% for girls;4.For students in area with higher economic level,the rates of IAD and IAT were 4.16% and 8.27%,respectively,lower than those in other economic levels;5.Both IAD and IAT prevalent rates were no significant difference between the key high schools and common high schools.Conclusion The students of special technical secondary schools are high risk population for IAD and IAT.Students in area with higher level of economic have lower rates of IAD and IAT.It is suggested that it is needed to carry out health education on Internet using among the adolescent students together with family,school and social good environment.

Objective To study the expression and significance of fatty acid synthase ligand ( sFas ) and soluble fatty acid synthase receptor (sFasL) on the neoadjuvant chemotherapy of breast cancer.Methods 84 cases of patients with breast cancer neoadjuvant chemotherapy were recorded from January 2015 to January 2016 in our hospital as breast cancer group,another 84 cases of healthy subjects as control group,the two groups were measured sFas,the positive rate of sFasL.At the same time,respectively before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, detection of patients serum sFas, sFasL levels and breast cancer.According to the clinical curative effect were divided into effective group and ineffective group , compared two groups of serum sFas, sFasL levels.Results Breast cancer group called sFas and sFasL positive rate was 58.33% (49/84) and 100.00%(84/84),were significantly higher than that of control group 38.10%(32/84) and 0.00% (0/84);The level of sFas in patients with neoadjuvant chemotherapy was significantly lower than that of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and the level of sFas in neoadjuvant chemotherapy group was significantly higher than that in ineffective group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion In the course of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer,the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy can be effectively detected by detecting the level of serum sFas in patients with breast cancer , while sFasL has no significant change in the neoadjuvant chemotherapy of breast cancer.
