1.Update on the molecular targeted therapy for cervical cancer
China Oncology 2015;(1):73-80
Cervical cancer is one of the most common and deadliest cancers in females worldwide. Despite the treatment methods of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are maturing, the prognosis of patients with recurrent, advanced or metastatic cervical cancer remains poor. Molecular targeted therapy provides new hope for these patients. This review focuses on the advances in agents targeting vascular endothelial growth factor pathway, epidermal growth factor receptor, mammalian target of rapamycin, histone deacetylases and cyclooxygenase-2 in cervical cancer.
2.Vitrectomy of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in morning glory syndrome
International Eye Science 2010;10(3):424-426
We report a case of retinal detachment in morning glory syndrome(MGS). We think that identification of the retinal break, removal of the traction force by vitrectomy, the use of long-acting gas as endotamponade, all contributed to the successful treatment of the disease. The pathogenic mechanisms of the disease and the function of B-scan to the diagnosis are included.

Objective: Based on optimized method of DNA ligase chain reaction in medium/low throughput genotyping, we assessed the relationship between NOD-like receptor genes NOD1, NOD2 and coronary artery disease (CAD) occurrence. Methods: A multiplex PCR was conducted to enrich DNA template; probe design, annealing temperature, time and number of circulation of PCR were opfimizecl for allele specific ligation; allele specific products were identified by fluorescence PCR and capillary electrophoresis; the accuracy was verified by Sanger sequencing. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on NOD1 gene and NOD2 gene were examined in 1555 CAD patients and 1887 control subjects; the relationship between SNPs and CAD occurrence was studied. Results: Based on optimized PCR condition and allele specific probe design, 30 allele loci genotyping can be genotyped by 10ng DNA template at one time. Association study presented that rs751271 and rs1861759 on NOD2 gene were related to non-hypertensive CAD, allP<0.05; with Bonferroni correction, such correlation was still significant, allP<0.05. Conclusion: We optimized DNA ligase chain reaction and established a novel high accuracy, low cost method for the demand of medium/low throughput genotyping in clinical molecular diagnosis. With this method, we identified that rs1861759 and rs751271 on NOD2 gene were associated with non-hypertensive CAD.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of Easy Prosthesis D-10 on open preperitoneal groin tension-free hernioplasty.MethodsThe operative time,operation-correlated complications,hospital stay and recent follow-up findings of 63 patients underwent preperitoneal groin tension-free hernioplasty were analyzed from October 2006 to April 2008.ResultsNo case died in perioperative period.The average operative time was(47.6?10.5)minutes.None of incision infection and scrotal hydrocele occurred.The average hospital stay was(7.7?2.1)days.During follow-up period of 6 to 24 months,no recurrence,chronic pain and foreign body sensation were found.ConclusionThe open preperioneal groin tension-free hernioplasty by Easy Prosthesis D-10 is safe and reliable,especially for the inguinal hernia with large hernia ring or defect of transversalis fascia and recurrent hernia.
6.Study on Immuniated Fnnction in Infants with Bronchiolitis
Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2003;0(10):-
Objective To explore the immuniated function of infants with bronchiolitis. Methods In vitro production of IL-18,12, 10, 4, IFN-? by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and plasma IgE of bronchiolitis infants measured by enzyme-linked im-munosorbent assay, expression of lymphocyte activation gene - 3 (LAG - 3) mRNA from PBMC measured by semi - quantitative RT- PCR.Forteen healthy children were as normal control. Results Compared with normal control, IL - 12 (390. 94 ? 95. 88 vs 452.44?195.07) ng/L and IL-18(146.23? 55. 81 vs 246.69?121.29) ng/L activity were significantly decreased (P0.05) ;The levels of IL-4(30. 52 ? 17. 65 vs 16.20? 8.94) ng/L and IL-10 (302. 40 ? 100.04 vs 195.30? 84.01) ng/L were elevated significantly(P

Objective The purpose of this study was to edit and psychometrically equate a set of Mandarin bisyllabic word lists. Methods 964 bisyllabjc words were recorded by male talker of standard Mandarin,352 words were selected to compose 10 lists. Percentage of correct word recognition was measured for each word at four intensity levels using 20 normal hearing subjects. The order of the presentation of the lists was randomized for each subject. U-sing Statistica7.0 Performance-Intensity function for each word was plotted,slopes and thresholds of them were calculated. 242 words were chosen after that, The thresholds and slopes of these words were in Guassian distribution. These words were ligitally adjusted and included in six Mandarin bisyllabic word lists of 40 words each. Two of them were for practice, four of them for test. 36 subjects with normal hearing served in our equivalent test. The orders of the presentation of the lists were randomized far each subject and results were expressed as thresholds. Results Two-factor ANO-VA was used to compare the thresholds of the 4 lists, F=1.978,P = 0.209. Conclusion These lists were considered to be primarily equivalent with each other.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of resin infiltration in the treatment of post-orthodontic white spot lesions (WSLs)and compare it with microabrasion.Methods:1 0 subjects with 66 teeth with noncavitated and unrestored WSLs after multibracket treatment were recruited.A simple randomized,split-mouth and controlled design was used to allocate WSLs to the resin infiltration and micro-abrasion groups(n =33).The area of the WSLs were measured photographically by using image analysis software before treatment (T0),1 week(T2)and 3 months(T3)after treatment.Data were analyzed with multifactorial analysis of the variances with repeated measures at an a level of 5% and a power of 80%.Results:The area of the white spot lesions(R)decreased significantly in both groups(P <0.05).At T3 the success rate of resin infiltration group(88.68%)was significantly higher than that of microabrasion group (64.67%)(P <0.05).Conclusion:Resin infiltration is more effective than microabrasion in the treatment of post-orthodontic WSLs.

The pattern of incidence and clin ic al presentation of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) collected during the past 45 years were analysed. It showed that most of PHPT patients were young or mid- aged, and female patients were somewhat more than male patients. The duration of illness was longer and symptoms were more severe. The number of post-menopausa l female patients was increased in recent ten years.
