2.Toxic Effects of Brominated Flame Retardants on Human and Mammals
Journal of Environment and Health 1992;0(02):-
Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are widely used industrial chemicals. Several BFRs were found to be at detectable level in the wildlife as well as in human, however, up to now there were few related papers which could be found for the adverse effects of BFRs on the wildlife, especially, on human. The recent research works on the biological effects of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) or derivates, hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) and polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) are reviewed in the present paper.
3.Relationship between serum elevation of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide and malnutrition in very old male patients with normal ejection fraction
Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2015;34(1):3-7
Objective To investigate the association between malnutrition parameters and serum N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level in male patients aged ≥ 80 years with normal ejection fraction.Methods A total of 197 elderly male patients aged 80 95 years (average 85.4±9.7) were enrolled.Each patient received echocardiograms following admission,and ejection fraction was calculated.Serum concentrations of NT-proBNP were measured by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay.Multiple Logistic regression analyses and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to assess the association between malnutrition parameters and serum level of NT-proBNP.Results Serum NT-proBNP level was higher in patients with malnutrition than in the controls [(711.9±1063.3) ng/L vs.(1375.2-±1891.7) ng/L,P=0.006].Pearson correlation analysis showed that the malnutrition parameters such as body mass index (BMI),blood hemoglobin,albumin and pre-albumin were negatively correlated with serum NT proBNP level (all P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that BMI and serum pre albumin level were independently associated with serum NT-proBNP level elevation (P=0.028 and 0.006,respectively).ROC curve analysis showed that the malnutrition parameters could predict the serum NT-proBNP level elevation.The area under the ROC curves for BMI,levels of blood hemoglobin,albumin and prealbumin in predicting serum NT proBNP level elevation was 0.7 (P=0.002),0.7 (P=0.004),0.6 (P=0.036),0.6 P=0.002),the sensitivity was 75.5%,51.0%,38.8%,89.8%,and the specificity was 54.4%,70.2 %,84.2% and 31.6 %,respectively.Conclusions The malnutrition parameters including BMI,blood hemoglobin,albumin and pre-albumin can predict serum NT-proBNP level elevation.BMI and serum pre-albumin level are independently associated with serum NT-proBNP level elevation in male patients aged ≥ 80 years with normal ejection fraction.
4.Advantageou functions of macrophage on tumor growth
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2004;0(02):-
Present studies have proved that tumor in-situ is infiltrated with plenty of macrophages (M?), M? may contribute up to or more than half of a tumor’s mass. It’s frustrated that as the main component of immune system, M? promote the tumor growth, and create a suitable microcircumstance to promote the progression of tumor as well. The furtherknowledge of the mechanism mentioned focusing on finding the new way to anti-tumor clinical research were reviewed.
5.The regulatory effect of tissue plasminogen activator involved in central nervous insult
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2004;0(02):-
Tissue plasminogen activator(tPA) had been used clinically as a choice drug for the therapy of ischemic shock.Evidence in animal experiments suggests that tPA may play a neurotoxic role in central nervous system(CNS) via the induction of microglial activation,degradation of laminin matrix and enhancement of the N-methyl-D-aspartate(NMDA) receptor-mediated signaling in neurons,other reports imply tPA could protect rat neuronal cells from zinc-induced toxicity.

9. Spectrum-effect relasionship of extract from rhizome of Alpinia officinarum on promotion of melanogenesis
Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 2013;44(8):995-1002
Objective: To establish the fingerprint of the extract from the rhizome of Alpinia officinarum, to investigate the effects on the proliferation, tyrosinase activity, and melanogenesis in melanoma B16 cells, and to analyze the spectrum-effect relasionship. Methods: The fingerprint of alcohol extract from the rhizome of A. officinarum (G1), water sediments of G1 (G2), macroporous resin purified extract of G2 (G3), and refined polyamide extract of G3 (G4) were established by HPLC, and the proliferation of each extract on B16 cells was measured by MTT. The tyrosinase activity and melanin content were measured by colorimetry assay. The spectrum-effect relasionship was analyzed by grey relation analysis. Results: Compared with the control group, the proliferation of B16 cells was promoted significantly after treatment with 1.00-5.00, 0.50-5.00, 0.25-5.00, and 0.25-10.00 μmol/L of G1, G2, G3, and G4, respectively. The tyrosinase activity was promoted by G1 and G2 with 0.50 μmol/L, and G3 and G4 with 0.50-1.00 μmol/L (P < 0.05, 0.01); The synthesis of melanin was promoted after the treatment with 0.5 and 5.00 μmol/L of G1, 0.50-5.00 μmol/L of G2 and G4, and 0.25-5.00 μmol/L of G3 (P < 0.01); At the same concentration, G4 had the strongest effect to promote the cell proliferation and to increase the tyrosinase activity. The galangin (peak 7) had the highest correlation with pharmacodynamics, and the contents of galangin in G1, G2, G3, and G4 were 27.61, 88.72, 348.53, and 693.35 mg/g, respectively. The proliferation, tyrosinase activity, and galangin content were promoted significantly after the treatment with galangin (0.25-10.00 μmol/L) by the verification experiment. Conclusion: The effect of the extract from the rhizome of A. officinarum on the proliferation, tyrosinase activity, and melanogenesis of B16 melanoma cells could be enhanced with the increased content of galangin, which demonstrates that the galangin is one of the efficient substances in the rhizome of A. officinarum for the treatment of vitiligo.
