Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2012;21(5):468-471
ObjectiveTo revise the Chinese version of the screening for somatofonn symptoms-7( SOMS-7).Methods——( 1 )306 patients with somatoform disorder were selected in Psychiatry Clinic of Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University.(2) With convenient sampling,207 residents were selected in Xian village of Xintang town of Zengcheng district in Guangzhou and 288 in Tongji Road community of Chancheng district in Foshan.Besides,283 residents were selected in Changnan Community of Huanggu District and Jixiang Community of Dadong District in Shenyang.After 10 to 14 days,63 female and 73 male of the community subjects were selected randomly to fill in the scale again.All of the subjects filled in the Chinese version of the SOMS-7.Results ( 1 ) The internal consistency of the Chinese version of the SOMS-7 was 0.944 for female and 0.945 for male.The test-retest reliability was 0.869 for symptom count and 0.823 for severity index.The correlation with somatization subscale of SCL-90 was 0.805 for symptom count and 0.824 for severity index.(2) Based on the diagnostic criteria of somatoform disorder in DSM-Ⅳ,ROC curves were drawn.The AUC was 0.935 for symptom count and 0.942 for severity index in female,while 0.916 for symptom count and 0.926 for severity index in male.When 2.5 (female) or 1.5 (male) was chosen for symptom count and 15.5 (female) or 14.5 (male) for severity index,the youden in-dex reached a maximum.ConclusionThe Chinese version of the SOMS-7 showed a good reliability and validity,being reliable and valid as a tool to screen patients with somatoform disorder.

Journal of International Oncology 2013;40(11):811-814
Ceramide (Cer),as the center molecular of sphingolipids metabolism,functions as a bioactive mediator of different cellular processes,such as cell growth,differentiation,senescence and apoptosis,besides being structural component of cellular membrane.It can inhibit cell proliferation and promote cell apoptosis via multiple signal pathawys.Chemicals anti-cancer properties based on Cer metabolism that upregulate its level are confirmed in plenty of experimental researches,and parts of research productions are applied in anticancer clinic experiments.
3.Fine-needle aspiration combined with molecular biomarkers in the diagnosis of thyroid nodules
Journal of International Oncology 2013;40(11):836-839
The check methods of thyroid nodules include palpation,serum thyroid hormone and high-frequency ultrasound.When the diagnosis is difficult,fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is carried to differentiate benign and malignant nodules.In clinical practice,approximately 20% of FNA-derived cytology reports can not meet the standard of benign or malignant.Some specific molecular biomarkers are applied to the derivative detection of FNA,which achieve considerable progress and improve the preoperative diagnostic rate.

Chongqing Medicine 2015;(16):2228-2230
Objective To assess the effectiveness of Exenatide on non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) with diabetes mellitus by evaluating fatty liver index(FLI) variation .Methods One hundred and two NAFLD patients with type 2 diabetes melli‐tus were enrolled and divided into two groups .One group were treated with Exenatide and another with Oral antidiabetic agents . The data of BMI ,blood fat ,HbA1c ,ALT ,AST ,GGT ,FLI and so on were collected at enrollment and the end point of 24 weeks treatment .The effectiveness of Exenatide were analysed by Kolmogorov‐Smirnov and Pearson correlation coefficient (r) analysis . Results The indicators of metabolic disorder ,the parameters of liver biochemistry and fatty liver disease (FLI) were significantly improved (P<0 .05) after 24 weeks treatment by Exenatide .While only BMI showed significant decrease after 24 weeks treatment with Oral antidiabetic agents(P<0 .05) .The rest of the parameters in oral antidiabetic agants group showed no significant differ‐ence (P>0 .05) .Conclusion Exenatide has a positive effect on non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease treatment who with type 2 diabetes mellitus ,especially for liver fat accumulation .
5.Minimally invasive bi-endoscopic treatment of deep submandibular gland calculu.
West China Journal of Stomatology 2016;34(2):169-172
OBJECTIVEA study was conducted to evaluate the clinical application of sialendoscopy combined with conven tional laparoscopy in a 30 degree angle in depth salivary calculus of submandibular glands.
METHODSA total of seventeen patients were presented with repeated swelling in the unilateral submandibular area from June 2013 to August 2015. All patients underwent CT examinations of the mandible and salivary gland function imaging preoperatively. Sialoendoscopy and conventional endoscopy were applied to do intraoral lithotomy. Among the study group, thirteen cases were males and four cases were females. A total of twelve were left cases and five were right cases. Results Seventeen patients had deep positive calculus in the submandibular glands under CT. Photo technetium function was basically normal, whereas secretion of ipsilateral decreased significantly in salivary function tests. Double endoscope assisted surgeries were performed successfully through the mouth to remove the stones. The operation time was (42+21) min. There were no obvious complications in perioperative periods.
CONCLUSIONIntraoral lithotomy assisted by sialoendoscopy and conventional laparoscopy for deep stones in the submandibular glands is a new technique. This technique will possibly lead to complete avoidance of gland resection because of early deep sialolithiasis.

6.Comparison between Laparoscopic Surgery and Open Surgery for Patients with Bigger Adrenal Adenoma in Qinghai
Journal of Medical Research 2017;46(3):134-137
Objective To compare effects between the laparoscopic surgery and open surgery for the bigger adrenal adenoma(>4cm) patients in Qinghai.Methods Altogether 57 cases of bigger adrenal adenoma patients(>4cm)in the affiliated hospital of Qinghai university and Qinghai People's Hospital from 2012 to 2016 were selected and divided into two groups (A and B) according to surgical programs difference.Group A (23 cases)wcre givcn laparoscopic surgcry and Group B (34 cases)were given open surgery (And 2 cases in group A turned into open surgery were out of statistics).The operative time,blood loss,hospital stay and drainage tube removal time were compared.Results The operative time,blood loss,hospital stay and draiuage tube removal time in Group A were significantly better than those in Group B,with statistical significance (P < 0.05).Conclusion The use of laparoscopic surgery for the bigger adrenal adenoma(>4cm) patients is safer and more effective than open surgery.
7.Role of HMGB1 in Inflammatory-mediated Injury Caused by Digestive System Diseases and Its Repair.
Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2015;32(4):919-923
High mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1), a damage-associated molecular pattern, exists ubiquitously in the cells of mammals. It contributes to maintaining the structure of nucleosome and modulating transcription of gene in nuclei. Extracellular HMGB1 plays two-way roles in promoting inflammatory and tissue repair. Released actively as well as passively following cytokine stimulation during cell death, HMGB1 may act as a late inflammatory factor and an endogenous damage-associated molecular pattern recognized by its receptors. And it may mediate the occurrence, development and outcome of the inflammatory injury of digestive system diseases, such as gastric mucosal injury, inflammatory bowel-disease, liver injury, pancreatitis, and so on. This review mainly concerns the research progresses of HMGB1 in the inflammatory injury of digestive system diseases. At the same time, HMGB1 itself, or as a therapeutic target, can promote tissue repair.

8.Epilepsy in children:the impact on cognitive function
International Journal of Pediatrics 2014;(5):473-475
Cognitive function has become a hot spot in the field of epilepsy. However,the relationship between cognitive function and epilepsy has not been clearly demonstrated. Clinical trials have showed that epi-lepsy and epileptic relevant factors are both associated with cognitive function in children. Children with cogni-tive impairment are often caused by those two factors. This article focuses on cognitive function in children with epilepsy age below 6 years,and mainly reviews the characteristics of cognitive function in these children with epilepsy.
