1.Research advances of chemokine CCL21
Journal of International Oncology 2008;35(10):744-747
CCL21 is originally reported as a CC chemokine mainly expressed in secondary lymphoid tissues. CCL21 can dictate lymphocytes homing in the flow environment,where T cells use integrins stimulated by CCL21 to arrest on endothelial cells,and can act as a chemoattractant for T cells,B cells,mature dentritic cells and natural killer cells strongly. CCL21 can collect activated effector cells and keep them around the tumor. It is also a pivotal molecule for priming T cell responses. Therefore,CCL21 plays a potential role in anti-tumor therapy, and its high expression is responsible for many immune diseases.
2.The rare side effects of acetazolamide-induced acute angle closure glaucoma
Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2016;39(6):574-576
Acetazolamide, a sulfonamide-derived medication, is frequently used in the treatment of various types of glaucoma. But this kind of medicine is associated with acute angle closure glaucoma. This paper is a review for the researches of this rare adverse reaction at internal and abroad. It can prompt more ophthalmologists to understand and pay attention to this rare adverse reaction of acetazolamide and sulfonamides derived drugs. Then the doctor will make accurate diagnosis, timely treatment and grasp the right operation opportunity and reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications ultimately.

4.The analysis of the calcification in differentiating malignant thyroid neoplasm and the molecular mechanisms for the formation of the calcification.
Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2012;26(16):763-766
The purpose of this review is to investigate the value of the calcification in differentiating malignant thyroid neoplasm and the molecular mechanisms for the formation of the calcification. Many published reports have proved the presence of calcifications in thyroid neoplasm and calcified nodules in these studies are more frequently malignant than noncalcified nodules. Through viewing the related references, we found that psammoma bodies (PBs), Runx2, osteocalcin, osteopontin, CD44v6 play an important role in the molecular mechanisms in the formation of the calcification in PTC. But further study is required for elucidating the mode of action.

Objective: To study collagen distribution and its quantitative variation in t he aortic adventitia of spontaneously hypertensive rats Methods: Sirus red stain was used to observe collagen distribution in aortic adventitia;Chloramine-T oxidation assay was employed to quantitate the collagen of aortic adventitia;Immuno-histochemical staining was adopted to detect type Ⅰ、Ⅲ collagen synthetic characteristic of vascular adventitial fibroblasts. Results: Collagen of rat aoritc wall mainly distributes in adventitia;SHR shows more collagen deposition in adventitia than WKY at the age of 8weeks and 24 weeks;The immuno-histochemical staining of type Ⅰ、Ⅲ collagen in vascular a dventitial fibroblasts is positive. Conclusions: All those results indicate that vascular adventitia ma y be involved in hypertensive vascular remodeling.and vascular adventitial fibroblasts can synthe size collagen type Ⅰ and Ⅲ.

AIM:Effects of anatotensin Ⅱ on type Ⅰ collagen synthesis and its mRNA expansion in cultured vascular adventitial fibroblasts. METHODS: Vascular adventitial fibroblasts (VAF)were isolated, cultured from rat thoracic aorta by explant method. ELISA was used to study type Ⅰ collagen synthesis and competihve RT - PCR was employed to detect its mRNA expression after angiotensin Ⅱ administration. RESULTS: Angiontensin Ⅱ caused a dose dependent increase of type Ⅰ collagen synthesis and its mRN expression in VAF. CONCLUSION: The results support that angiotensin Ⅱ is an important factor controlling collagen metabolism of VAF and VAF may play an im- portant role in vascular remodelling of hypertension.

Objective To study characteristic findings and the diagnostic value of MRI in pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS). Methods Twenty-one patients with PSIS were included. Small field of view (FOV) MR1 scanning and clinic hormone detection were performed in all patients. Moreover, fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR)T,1 WI with fat-suppression sequence was performed in 8 cases. The appearance on FLAIR T1 WI and T2 WI were recorded. The shape of pituitary stalk and antehypophysis, and the signal intensity of posthypophysis were analyzed simultaneously. Results Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) was confirmed by clinic hormone detection in all 21 cases. The level of basal GH varied from 0. 03 μg,/L to 1.50 μg/L. The peak value under GH provocation was from 0. 13 μg/L to 4. 14 μg/L, and the GH was absolute default in all patients. Seventeen cases of them were combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD), and 4 cases were isolated growth hormone deficiency (IGHD). The height of antepituitary was in the range from 1 mm to 3 mm, and the average value was (1.9±1.2) mm. Pituitary stalk was absent in 18 cases and showed as linear and discontinuous stalk in the other 3 cases. The high signal intensity was invisible in normal position in all cases, the high signal intensity spot in the region of infundibular recess of the third ventricle was shown in 19 cases, while it could not be found anywhere in 2 patients with diabetes insipidus. Conclusion PSIS often shows characteristic appearance on MRI, and a definite diagnosis can be made by using MRI combined with clinic hormone detection.

The investigation on the chemical constituents of Anabasis aphylla L. was carried out by using various chromatographies, such as silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 and RP-C18 column chromatography. Further detailed investigation on the fraction of the ethanol extract of Anabasis aphylla L. yielded one new compound p-acetyl-phenol 1-O-beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (1), together with five known compounds: piceine (2), isorhamnetin (3), quercetin (4), rutin (5) and isorhamnetin-3-rutinoside (6). Their structures were elucidated by spectral analysis such as NMR and MS. Among these compounds, compounds 2-6 were isolated from this plant for the first time.

Objective To investigate the causes and treatment of postoperative nonunion of the intercondylar fracture of humerus. Methods Twenty-six patients suffering from postoperative nonunion of the intercondylar fracture of humerus, 14 males and 12 females, were analyzed in this study. Four cases underwent total elbow arthroplasty(TEA), and the other 22 received refixation and autografting, 4 of whom healed only after 2 operations. The causes of postoperative nonunion were analyzed. Results This group had 28 unstable fixations, 16 postoperative plaster external fixations and 21 significant bone defects. On average, they had a follow-up of 11.4 months (4 to 41 months). In the 4 TEA cases, the average flexion was 112° (90° to 130°) and the extension 18° (0 to 35°). Their average MEPS score was 85(80 to 90 points). The other 22 cases achieved bone union ultimately, with an average flexion of 97.7°± 10. 0° (70° to 110°),an average extension of 30. 9°± 12.8°(0 to 60°), and an average motion arc of 66. 8°± 10. 5° (50° to 90°).Their average MEPS score was 81.4 ± 11. 1 points (65 to 100 points). Conclusions Inadequate internal fixation, elbow stiffness due to plaster external fixation and significant bone defects are the main causes for postoperative nonunion of the intercondylar fracture of humerus. 90-90 plate fixation and parallel plate fixation, together with constructive bone grafting, can achieve bone union in most cases, though the motion arc of the elbow is still unsatisfactory.
