1.Human papilloma virus and human breast cancer
International Journal of Surgery 2009;36(12):840-842
As an increasing threat to women's health worldwide, breast cancer has many well-established risk factors, including genetic suscebility, high concentration of serum estrogen, early-age menarche, late-age menopause and postmenopansal obesity. However, these risk factors only account for about half of the in-cidence of breast cancer. Recent studies provided some clues that three primary hormone responsive virues-human papilloma virus (HPV), mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) and Epstein Barr virus (EBV)may act play roles in pathogenesis of human breast cancer. This review aims to have a close look at advances on the potential role, probable mechanism and relating hypothesis of Human papillomavirus in human breast cancer.
2.History, present and future of tumor markers
Cancer Research and Clinic 2009;21(12):793-795
Since Bence-Jones protein was discovered and used in multiple myeloma, many tumor markers have been used in diagnosis and treatment monitoring of various cancers. However the lack of specificity and sensitivity of most tumor markers is always limiting their application in research and clinical diagnosis currently. It is predicted that the future development of tumor marker research may mainly focus on the innovation of research strategies, such as combined detection of a set of related tumors marker and comprehensive interpretation of testing results.
3.Leptin's role in the tumorigenesis and progression of breast cancer
International Journal of Surgery 2010;37(6):407-410
Leptin,a 16 kD protein encoded by ob gene,has been shown to play a pivotal role in satiaty control and adipose metabolism.However,numemus recent studies indicme that leptin may also take part in mammary cells transformation,proliferation and angiogensis.Those evidences suggest that leptin has an important role in the mammary cell tumorigenesis and progession,but the undedine mechanism needs further exploration.Our aim is to review the current andvances on leptin's role in tumourigenesis and progression of breast cancer from perspectives of in vitro,aniamal model and breast cancer biopsy studies.
4.Mannose-binding lectin: From bench to personalized medicine
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2003;0(05):-
Mannose-binding lectin(MBL) is a key component of the innate immune system that plays a pluripotent role in natural defense.MBL genetic variants are associated with increased susceptibility to and the severity and prognosis of various diseases.The association between low MBL-producing allelic variants and disease risk and/or severity is particularly strong in infectious and autoimmune diseases.Enhanced risk for disease by low MBL producers is particularly the case for children and immunocompromised patients,especially when primary and secondary immune deficiencies coexist.Therefore the use of MBL testing and replacement therapy has reached the threshold of personalized medicine.The author presents a review of the role of MBL in health and diseases,the advances in MBL testing methodology and MBL related therapies.

OBJECTIVE: Intraocular lens are applied in trigeminal operations of cataract extraction and comeal transplantation, and the selection of artificial lens is modified. This paper evaluated the application of colodzed polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) intraocular lens in interlaced non-phacoemulsification cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation and keratoplasty (trigeminal operation).METHODS: A computer-based online search of CNKI (200312007) and Medline database (1974/2004) was performed for related articles with the key words "colorized intraocular lens, corneal transplantation, cataract, combination operation" in Chinese and "PMMA intraocular lens, cataract extraction, corneal transplantation" in English. Articles related to PMMA intraocular lens in cataract and corneal transplantation trigeminal operation was selected. Meta analysis and repetitive articles were excluded. A total of 11 articles were included and summarized.RESULTS: A total of 21 cases (21 eyes) of corneal leukoma and cataract caused by various trauma or ophthalmopathy underwent colorized PMMA intraocular lens implantation. During the follow-up for 10 months, visual acuities of naked eyes in 92% cases were significantly improved. Two weeks after operations, visual acuities of 9 cases (42.9%) were over 4.7, 10 cases over 4.5, and 2 cases (9.5%) over 4.0. At days 7 to 14 after operation, corneal grafts of 21 cases were completely transparent; 10 months after operation, corneal grafts of 16 cases were completely transparent, 3 cases were semitransparent, and 2 cases were turbid, who underwent second penetrable corneal transplantation.CONCLUSION: The application of colodzed PMMA intraocular lens in penetrable corneal transplantation combined cataract extraction can cure the refracting media turbidity of forepart eye. Compared with traditional operations, trigeminal operation reduces complications, increases safety and improves visual acuity.
