1.Significance of adaptive response to study of traditional Chinese medicine
Journal of Integrative Medicine 2004;2(6):415-20
Adaptive response is a topic of general interest in medical research. Utilization of adaptive response has become a new treatment strategy for some diseases, the core of which is to stimulate the mechanisms of body internal protection, to improve the adaptive and anti-injury capability, and to maintain the homeostasis of the body. The existence of adaptive response indicates that the body internal protection can be induced and its key mechanism is the inducement of internal protective factors (internal protective proteins). In this article, some connections between adaptive response and the theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) were discussed, which indicated that adaptive response is much beneficial for explaining some theories of TCM such as correspondence between human and nature, strengthening healthy qi to consolidate constitution, acupuncture theory, adaptogen herbs, and treating disease before its onset, etc. Thus the adaptive response is of great significance for explaining scientifically the connotative meaning of the theories of TCM and for promoting the integration of TCM and western medicine.
2.Medical Image Coding Based on Lifting Wavelets Transform and SPIHT
Chinese Journal of Medical Physics 2010;27(2):1755-1757,1780
Objective:It proposed a new arithmetic of medical image coding based on the lifting scheme wavelets and the set partitioning in hierarchical trees. Methods: Due to the computational complexity of the traditional wavelet, the lifting scheme, which could speed up the fast wavelet transform, was adopted instead of the traditional wavelet transform. With the comprehensive utilization of SPIHT and arithmetic coding, it could achieve to code medical images. Results: At a range of compression ratio, the peak signal to noise ratio was markedly improved, and it could ensure the quality of the reconstruction of medical image to meet the medical image data storage and transmission needs. Conclusions: The simulation experiments show that at the same bit rate, the peak signal to noise ratio is markedly improved.

Objective To observe the effects of fluoride on testicular cell cycle and cell apoptosis of male rats.Methods Thirty-two healthy male Wistar rats,weighting 150-180 g,were randomly divided into 4 groups by body weight using random number table,normal sodium (control),the low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose groups(100,200,300 mg· kg-1· d-1 NaF,respectively) by intragastric administration for 90 days,and bodyweight was observed daily.After the last intragastric administration,all rats were killed by cervical dislocation.The testicular cell cycle and cell apoptosis were measured by flow cytometry.Results After 30 days exposure,the difference of body weight between groups was statistically significant(F =3.884,P < 0.05).The body weights in low-and medium-dose groups[(235.00 ± 14.56),(235.44 ± 24.99)g] were significantly increased than that of high-dose group [(206.00 ± 18.16)g,all P < 0.05].There was no significant difference of body weight between the groups at 0,60 and 90 days(F =0.501,0.578,1.893,all P > 0.05).Compared with the control group[(43.10 ± 3.62)%],the percentages of G0/G1 stage cells were significantly increased in all the NaF-treated groups [(57.60 ± 7.26) %,(52.80 ± 3.20) %,(73.13 ± 4.08) %] and the percentages of S stage cells were significantly decreased in all the NaF-treated groups [(10.58 ± 2.58)%,(9.35 ± 0.35)%,(9.55 ± 0.50)%] compared to the control group[(19.23 ± 0.61)%,all P < 0.05].On the other hand,the percentage of G2/M stage cells decreased significantly in high-dose group[(17.18 ± 2.21)%] compared with the control group[(36.34 ± 5.05)%,P < 0.05].The testicular cell apoptosis ratios in all the NaF-treated groups were higher than that in the control group,but only in medium-and high-dose groups[(71.03 ± 2.30)%,(71.90 ± 2.16)%],the difference was statistically significant compared with the control group [(60.80 ± 2.34)%,all P < 0.05].Conclusion Chronic fluorosis can change testicular cell cycle and cell apoptosis and damage the reproductive system.

Objective To explore the causes and treatment of difficulty of urination after suprapubic prostatectomy. Methods 56 cases with difficulty of urination after suprapubic prostatectomy were reviewed.The causes of difficulty of urination were bladder outlet stricture,urethral stricture,relapse of BPH and other nonsurgical causes. Results 48 cases were surgically managed,and the success rate was 94%.The follow up time was 2~84 months with a mean of 38 months,all of them urinate normally except in 3 suprapubic cystostomy has been mandatory. Conclusions Correct presurgical diagnosis,adequate surgical treatment and postsurgical management are key points in preventing postsurgical difficulty of urination.

Objective To evaluate the effect of health education on schistosomiasis in Kunshan City,so as to provide the ev?idence for making the consolidating strategy in the late stage of interruption of schistosomiasis transmission. Methods The resi?dents,middle school students and elementary school students were randomly sampled from one community,one middle school and one elementary school of each of two towns and they were investigated with interviews and questionnaires for the implementa?tion of health education on schistosomiasis prevention and control. Results A total of 452 middle school students(232 cases) and primary school students (220 cases) were surveyed. The awareness rate of total schistosomiasis knowledge was 98.21%among the students(the awareness rate of basic schistosomiasis knowledge was 98.42% and the awareness rate of preventive schistosomiasis knowledge was 98.01%). Among the 220 elementary school students,the awareness rate of total schistosomiasis knowledge was 97.21%(the awareness rate of basic schistosomiasis knowledge was 97.60%and the awareness rate of preventive schistosomiasis knowledge was 96.82%). Among the 232 middle school students,the awareness rate of total schistosomiasis knowledge was 99.17%(χ2 =34.661,compared with the rate of the elementary school students)[the awareness rate of basic schistosomiasis knowledge was 99.20%(χ2=13.045,compared with the rate of the elementary school students)and the aware?ness rate of preventive schistosomiasis knowledge was 99.14%(χ2 =21.796,compared with the rate of the elementary school students)]. There were significant differences between the elementary school students and middle school students in above?men?tioned awareness rates(all P<0.001). There were schistosomiasis health education materials or teaching plans in all the four schools. Among the 402 residents surveyed,the awareness rate of total schistosomiasis knowledge was 98.87%. Conclusion The effect of health education on schistosomiasis prevention and control is very well,and the total awareness rate of schistosomia?sis prevention and control knowledge among the population has reached the goal(more than 95%)of the medium?and long?term planning of schistosomiasis prevention and control in Kunshan City.

There are 13 members of the Let -7 miRNAs family which is regarded as tumor suppressor gene, locating in nine different chromosome loci. Lin28 acts as negative regulatory factor of miRNA biological recurrence. By selectively blocking the processing synthesis of the Let-7 miRNAs family, Lin28 block the inhibition effect of miRNA of proto-oncogenes and interact with RNA helicase to enhance gene translation at the same time. By not quite clear mechanism, an up-regulation of Let-7 inhibits the expression and function of Lin28. In more and more studies of human tumor, Lin28/Let-7 axsis was proved to be important significance of the tumor's occurrence and development. In this paper, we research briefly the recent progress of the molecular mechanism and related influence factors of ILin28/Let-7 axsis.

Body iron store is one of the important aspects of the iron status in a population. According to the model established by Cook and Finch, the iron stores of 254 middle-aged Chinese women were estimated. The median of iron stores was calculated to be -282 mg with the 5th percentile of -630 mg and the 95th percentile of 32 mg respectively. The risk factors of iron deficiency in these middle-aged women were menorrhagia (RR 4.55), application of intrauterine device (RR 1.88), history of blood loss (RR 1.65), and chronic gastrointestinal diseases (RR 0.84). The key point of the application of the Cook's model was discussed.
