1.The influence of hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury to the hepatic cell cycle G2/M-related gene Gadd45a and Egr-1 expression
Chinese Journal of Organ Transplantation 2012;33(8):466-469
ObjectiveTo explore the possible mechanism that Gadd45a and Egr-1together participate in the DNA damage repair,by analyzing the influence of hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) on the rnRNA and protein expression of hepatic cell cycle-related genes.Method Methods Forty-two SD rats were divided into normal control group,ischemia 30 min group and reperfusion 30 min,1h,2 h,3 h and 24 h groups.The hepatic specimens of rats at the corresponding time points after success of modeling were obtained. Chip experiment was used to screen out the key genes Gadd45a,Egr-1and GAPDH for target genes.We used Northern blot and RT-PCR to confirm the chip's results. The expression of related proteins was detected by using immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry.Results Northern blot detection results showed that the RT-PCR products and the target genes for testing were concordant.The expression spectral chip signal and RT-PCR detection revealed that the expression of target genes had a 4-fold increase at early reperfusion period (1h) (up-regulation of Egr-1,Gadd45a and HSP70-1a by 9.39,8.28 and10.8 respectively.At the later stage of reperfusion (24 h),the expression of Egr-1,Gadd45a and Hspala was reduced to the normal levels, and the chip screening results were consistent with the RT-PCR test results.Fluorescence immunohistochemistry demonstrated that in the reperfusion1h and 2 h groups,the expression of Egr-1in nuclei of liver cells was positive. Immunohistochemistry indicated that the Gadd45 expression in the nucleus and cytoplasm was gradually increased with increasing reperfusion time.ConclusionGadd45a and Egr-1are the key genes of the nuclear factor (NF)-kB regulatory pathways,and involved in the regulation of cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase and repair of damaged DNA in rat hepatic IRI.

3.Research progress for early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma
Chinese Journal of Hepatobiliary Surgery 2014;20(9):689-693
Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the most common malignant tumors.With the concealed characteristics and non-specific clinical expressions,its presence can be frequently missed,allowing progression to advanced stages where prognosis is poor.Therefore,early diagnosis is essential to improve the survival rate of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.Recent developments in imaging technology and molecular biology are making strides in identifying and finding biomarkers of hepatocellular carcinoma,leading to earlier diagnosis.This article describes the latest developments,in combination with previous diagnostic methods to make a comprehensive examination of strategies for early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma.
4.Treatment of recurrent small cell lung cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2012;39(5):373-376
Small-cell lung cancer (SCLG) relapses in the majority of patients,even though most patients respond to first-line therapy.Subsequent therapy can provide significant palliation and prolongation of survival for many patients. At present,topotecan is considered the standard second-line chemotherapy.Recently,amrubicin has also shown more favorable antitumor activity,and is the most promising at present.Unfortunately,targeted agents have failed to demonstrate effectiveness for SCLC.
5.Efficacy of differential antihypertensive treatment strategies at early stage in the elderly with acute cerebral hemorrhage
Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2012;31(4):302-304
Objective To observe the the therapcutic efficacy of differential antihypertensive treatments on the elderly acute cerebral hemorrhage with different amounts of bleeding. Methods 86 elderly patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage combined by hypertension were randomly divided into two groups:active antihypertensive group and regular antihypertensive group (n=43 for each group),among which 62 cases aged (68.9±5.3) years were in hemorrhage of small amount (volume <30 ml),24 cases aged (70.8 ± 5.7) years in large amount hemorrhage (volume ≥30 ml).The patients in active antihypertcnsive group received intravenous antihypertensive drugs within 1 hour of treatment in the following 7 d to reach systolic pressure 140-160 mm Hg.In contrast,in the control group the patients' systolic pressure reached 180-200 mm Hg at early stage.The hematoma volume was measured by CT before treatment and at 3 d and 7 d after treatment.NIH stroke scale (NIHSS)was used before treatment and 7 d and 28 d after treatment Results In the patients with small amount of bleeding,NIHSS scores and the total efficacy rate at 28 d after treatment and hematoma size at 3 d after treatment were better in active antihypertensive group than in regular antihypertensive group [(4.8±2.7) scores,86.67% aud (2.4±0.6) ml vs.(7.6±3.9) scores,53.13% and (8.1±3.1) ml,all P<0.01]. However,for the patients with large amount of bleeding,there were no statistical differences in the above indexes between the two differential strategies (all P>0.05).Conclusions Active antihypertensive therapy may inhibit early hematoma volume,improve prognosis and enhance clinical efficacy for the patients with small bleeding,but no clinical significance for the patients with large amount of bleeding.

International Journal of Surgery 2011;38(7):475-478
This article analyzes the characteristics of lymph node metastasis in proximal advanced gastric cancer,in order to guide the extent of stomach resection (proximal or total gastrectomy) and the resection of spleen or splenic preservation. The metastasis of lymph node in proximal advanced gastric cancer has certain characteristics, which can provide a significant guidance for lymphadenectomy. Total gastrectomy plus splenectomy is a feasible radical surgery for proximal advanced gastric cancer, because of the requirement of lymphadenectomy.
7.Effect of Indomethacin suppositories on albumin concentration and insulin resistance of post-operation patients with serious intra-abdominal infection
Chinese Journal of Current Advances in General Surgery 1999;0(04):-
Objective:To evaluate the effect of Indomethacin suppositories on albumin concentration and insulin resistance of post-operation patients with serious intra-abdominal infection.Methods:38 post-operation patients with serious intra-abdominal infection were divided into two groups randomly.One as treatment group(n=19)and the other as control group(n=19).Albumin,blood glucose,fasting insulin concentration were measured At 72 hours after the operation and 144 hours.Insulin resistance index was calculated using the homeostasis model assessment(HOMA).Finally,the results of two groups were analyzed.Results:The albumin concentration of Indomethacin group at 72 hours was significantly higher than that after 72 hours,Insulin resistance of 144 hours was lower than the control group(P0.05).Conclusion:Postoperative abdominal infection using indomethacin suppository can significantly reduce insulin resistance,and significantly reduced the decomposition of albumin.

9.Progress in network pharmacology for modern research of traditional Chinese medicine
Chinese Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology 2015;(6):883-892
Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),a comprehensive medicinal system,is characterized by holistic theory that emphasizes the regulation of the integrity of the human body and the interactions between human individuals and their environments. The diagnostic and therapeutic methods of TCM are based on the differentiation of syndrome(Zheng in Chinese)and the use of herbal formula(Fang-Ji in Chinese). There is an urgent need to develop scientific research methods in accordance with the above characteristics for TCM modernization. In the era of big data and with the rapid progress in systems biology,polypharmacology and bioinformatics,network pharmacology has emerged as a promising drug discovery approach that takes the same view as the theory of TCM. This methodology has explored correlations between drugs and complex diseases from the perspective of the holistic theory and has highlighted the paradigm shift from″one drug,one target″to″network target″. Thus,it is an original idea to combine network pharmacology with the modern research of TCM. This paper briefly analyzed and discussed the progress and major scientific challenges in network pharmacology applied to TCM diagnosis and treatment. To promote the development of TCM network pharmacology , several suggestions were also raised.
