1.Research of multidrug resistance mechanisms of neuroblastoma
International Journal of Pediatrics 2016;43(10):748-753,759
Neuroblastoma(NB) is the most common extracranial solid malignant tumor in childhood,which has various clinical manifestations.Tumor metastasis or relapse is one of the major causes of death in patients with NB.At present,the treatments of NB are mainly concentrated on the surgery,chemotherapy,radiation therapy,myeloablative therapy and transplantation,tumor targeted therapy,etc.But the treatment of children with high-risk NB is still not optimistic.Studies have shown that multidmg resistance is a major impediment to the successful treatment of NB.Hence,it is of great significance to have a comprehensive understanding of the chemoresistance mechanisms to improve the survival rate of NB patients.This review discusses the chemoresistance mechanisms of NB in several respects.

The rate of postpartum hemorrhage, the rate of disseminated intravascular coagulation and the incidence of puerperal disease in the observation group were significantly less than those in the control group (P<0.05). The sanguinous lochia time and menstrual recovery time in the observation group were better than those in the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the rate of hysterectomy and adverse reactions between the two groups. Conclusion Carboprost Tromethamine Injection combined with mifepristone in the treatment of pernicious placenta previa can effectively reduce the bleeding rate and promote the rehabilitation of pregnant women. It is safe and has no obvious adverse reactions. It is worthy of clinical application.
6.Advances in the study of organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B3.
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica 2011;46(11):1279-85
OATP1B3, a member of SLC superfamily, is specifically expressed on the sinusoidal membrane of hepatocytes and is considered to be important in hepatic drug elimination. The overexpression of OATP1B3 was found recently in tumor tissues such as prostate, colon, and pancreatic tumors. Sequence variations in SLCO1B3 gene, such as SNPs, have been described and a common haplotype consisting of 334T>G and 699G>A SNPs is related to altered transport characteristics of OATP1B3. OATP1B3 is of relevance to drug metabolism through affecting alteration of hepatic concentration of endo- and xenobiotic compounds that interact with nuclear receptors such as PXR and CAR, and thereby directly alter the extent of target gene transcription, including major CYP isoenzymes such as CYP3A4. This review will provide an overview of substrates and inhibitors of OATP1B3 and subsequently to assess the effect of genetic mutation on transport activity. The studies linking OATP1B3 with cancer clinical outcomes are also discussed in this review.

China Journal of Chinese Materia Medica 2015;40(8):1605-1609
The study aims to observe the clinical efficacy of Baoerkang san on spleen-deficiency and dampness-obstructing diarrhea in children. Children diarrhea divided into acute diarrhea (group I) and chronic persistent diarrhea (group II). A randomized, double-blind, positive control test was conducted for dose finding. The 340 cases with acute diarrhea in group I were divided into three groups: the high dose group (112 patients), the low dose group (113 patients) and the positive control group (115 patients), which were treated for 3 days. Their clinical efficacies were compared to evaluate the clinical safety of Baoerkang san. The 167 patients with chronic persistent diarrhea in group If were divided into the high dose group (56 patients), the low dose group (55 patients) and the control group (56 patients), which were treated for 5 days. Their clinical efficacy were compared to evaluate the clinical safety of Baoerkang san. According to the results, the cure rate and the effective rate of acute diarrhea and chronic persistent diarrhea in the high dose group and the low dose group were significantly higher than that of the positive control group (P <0. 05, P < 0.01). In the treatment of spleen-deficiency and dampness-obstructing diarrhea with traditional Chinese medicines, the cure rate and the effective rate of acute diarrhea and chronic persistent diarrhea in the high dose group and the low dose group were significantly higher than that of the positive control group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). During the test, all of the three groups did not suffer any adverse event, with no any abnormality in general physical indexes. In conclusion, Baoerkang san shows a significant efficacy in treating acute diarrhea and chronic persistent diarrhea (spleen-deficiency and dampness-obstructing) and safe clinical application.

Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture and Moxibustion 2015;(6):556-558
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of dynamic moxibustion plus acupuncture in treating cervical vertigo by clinical observation of vertebrobasilar artery blood flow velocity using transcranial color Doppler before and after treatment. Method Sixty-one patients diagnosed with cervical vertigo were randomly allocated to two groups. The treatment group of 31 patients received dynamic moxibustion plus acupuncture and the control group of 30 patients, acupuncture alone. Vertebrobasilar artery blood flow velocity was observed using transcranial color Doppler before and after treatment. Result The total efficacy rate was 96.8% in the treatment group and 73.3% in the control group. Vertebrobasilar artery blood flow velocity was improved in both groups, but the effect was more marked in the treatment group (P<0.05). Conclusion Dynamic moxibustion plus acupuncture can more effectively improve vertebrobasilar artery blood flow velocity than acupuncture alone.

Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2017;21(26):4258-4264
BACKGROUND: In recent years, increasing studies focus on digital complete denture. Digital complete denture has many advantages such as reducing patient visit times, saving chairside time, improving manufacturing precision in comparison with traditional complete denture.OBJECTIVE: To review the development of technology and clinical application of digital complete denture,and to analyze the existing insufficiencies.words were CAD/CAM complete dentures, digital complete dentures, rapid prototyping dentures, manufactured dentures, computer dentures, machined dentures, designed dentures, milled dentures, artificial tooth, 3D scanning, 3D printing in English and Chinese, respectively.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Currently, the production of complete denture using digital technology cannot be fully realized. During digital impression, to scan the traditional dental casts is still the mainstream technology for data acquisition technology. Future investigations on scanning the patient alveolar ridge and its surrounding soft tissue directly and digitally recording the jaw relation directly are warranted. To develop 3D-printed artificial teeth and base materials with proper strength, aesthetics, comfort levels as well as 3D printing of the artificial tooth and the base as the final denture will make digital denture technology more mature.
