1.Drug-induced liver injury,drug disposition and metabolite profiling
Chinese Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology 2012;26(4):467-475
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a leading cause responsible for the failure of drug development and for the withdrawal of commercial drug products.The high frequency of DILI is due in part to the physiology of the liver,since in many cases elimination of drug molecules from the body is dependent on hepatic clearance via either metabolism or biliary excretion.Many of the mechanistic details underlying DILI remain poorly defined in spite of extensive studies of the pathogenesis.In this regard,metabolomics may become a powerful tool for investigation of DILI,leading to better mechanistic understanding and biomarkers identification.
2.Analysis of protein expression in retinoic acid-induced HL60 cells by modified two--dimensional electrophoresis
Journal of Chongqing Medical University 2007;0(12):-
Objective:To establish the granulocyte-differentiation model of the HL60 cells which are treated with All-trans retinoic acid(ATRA),and to use the modified two-dimensional electrophoresis conditions to analyze the differences of protein expression between treated and untreated HL60 cells.Methods:HL60 cells were induced through treatment with All-trans retinoic acid(ATRA).For selection of the appropriate drug concentration and induction time,MTT and flow cytometry are used to detect the HL60cell proliferation and the expression of differentiation antigens CD11b respectively.Cellular chemical staining was used for the verification of the differentiation of the treated HL60 cells.The protein of HL60 cell lines could be separated by modified two-dimensional electrophoresis(2-DE).PDQuest software was used to analyze the different protein expression between treated and untreated HL60 cells.The protein was analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption -time of flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF).Results:ATRA could inhibit HL60 cell proliferation,and with the increase in drug concentration,the effect of inhibiting was more significant.Treated with 2? M ATRA for five days,there were more than 90% of HL60 cells expressing antigenCD11b.Cellular chemical staining also showed that ATRA could induce HL60 cells to granulocyte cells.By the analysis of modified 2-DE and PDQuest software,25 protein spots was detected in untreated cells,while 15 protein spots was promoted Some of them were oncogene protein and suppressor gene protein,while some of others are involved in apoptosis.Conclusion:ATRA could induce HL60 cells to granulocyte cells in selected drug concentration and induction time.Using the modified two-dimensional electrophoresis conditions,different protein expression can be found from the traditional two-dimensional electrophoresis.
3.Researching progress in selective laser trabeculoplasty for glaucoma
Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2014;32(2):178-181
Glaucoma is the second leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide.The treatment of glaucomatous eyes is a long-term procedure.Laser treatment is becoming one of the three major methods to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) of glaucomatous patients.Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) mainly targets to the pigment cells on the trabecular meshwork and makes it easier for fluid to flow out of the front part of the eye,decreasing pressure in the eye.But,the actual mechanism of this surgery is below understood now.Compared with other laser therapy,SLT uses a lower-level laser to open the drainage angle of the eye,and therefore cause rare or slight complication,so it is thought to be a repeatable therapy to the patients who needs further treatment.The principle,clinical application,efficacy,safety and study progress about SLT for glaucomatous eyes are reviewed.
5.The anal verge: localization with multi-slice spiral CT
Chinese Journal of Radiology 2010;44(8):819-822
Objective To determine and evaluate the method of localization of anal verge by mutislice spiral CT. To provide an imaging reference for operative guidance of low-rectal cancer. Methods Forty eight consecutive adult patients suspected of abnormalities other than rectal disease were evaluated with abdominal and pelvic CT scans since August, 2009. They were divided into two groups based on sex and age. There were 23 men and 25 women. The ages of young group were 28 to 50 years and the average age was 41 years. The ages of elderly group were 52 to 81 years and the average age was 64 years. A small cotton ball dipped with contrast media was put at the anal verge as a marker and CT scans were performed with 64-slice spiral CT scanner. The distances between the cotton balls and the lower margin of the pubis combination (La), the lower margin of the 5th sacral vertebra (Lb), the inferior aperture of minor pelvis(Lc) and the lower margin of the basement of external anal sphincter (Ld) were measured on the midsagittal images obtained by MPR. The averages, the standard deviations(s), the 95% and 80% confidence intervals of La, Lb, Lc and Ld were calculated. We took the intervals of ± 1.96 s or ± 1.28 s < 5 mm as the standard of meeting the clinical requirement. The distances meeting the clinical requirement between different sex groups or age groups were compared with t test. Results The Ld was (9.8 ± 1.2) mm, ofwhich intervals of ± 1.96 s and ± 1.28 s were 4. 8 mm and 3.0 mm respectively, meeting the clinical need.This distance was also measured conveniently. There were no significant differences ( P > 0.05 ) between two different sex groups [ male group, ( 10.0 ± 1.2) mm], female group, (9.6 ± 1.2) mm and between two age groups [ young group, (9.6 ± 1.2) mm, elderly group, ( 9.9 ± 1.3 ) mm ]. Conclusions The lower margin of the basement of external anal sphincter was a useful anatomic lanmark for localizing the anal verge,and could be definitely identified on the middle sagittal pelvic CT image. The distance between the structure and anal verge is constant enough and can be used in measuring distance from low rectal lesion to the anal verge.
6.Recent advances in diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune pancreatitis
Chinese Journal of Hepatobiliary Surgery 2011;17(8):690-694
Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP), which is always associated with autoimmune manifestations, was introduced in 1995 and has been recognized as a type of chronic pancreatitis. Despite numerous studies in Japan, Europe and the United States in recent years, no consensus has been reached about the diagnostic criteria for AIP that may be difficult to distinguish from pancreatic cancer(PC). Nevertheless, the results find it dramatically responds to steroid therapy.
