1.Progress in the study of G-quadruplex telomerase inhibitors
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2010;26(1):17-20
Telomerase can inhibit the shortening of telomere and stimulate continuous cell proliferation to form tumor.The activity of telomerase can be prohibited by G-quadruplex formed by the single chain in G-rich field of telomere 3' end, resulting in tumor cell apoptosis.Ligands which can induce the formation or stabilize the structure of G-quadruplex in G-rich field of oncogene exhibit antitumor function. Nowadays it becomes the core concern of chemists and biologists to screen and structurally design the compounds targeting G-quadruplex.This paper summarized the discoveries in the G-quadruplex-targeted telomerase inhibitors in recent years.

Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2008;31(11):4-6
Objective To investigate the treatment function and dominance of Ommaya reservoir,which was used to treat postoperative intracranial infection combined with hydrocephalus in patients with severe traumatic brain injury. Methods Thirty-four patients suffered intracranial infection combined with hydrocephalus after operations. They were randondy divided into 2 groups.Thirleen patients were treated with Ommaya reservoir, the others were treated with external ventricular drainage. The 24-hour mean drain quantum, the mean days from implantation pumps or htbes to ventriculo-peritoneal (V-P) shunt operation,the rate of secondary operation and the rate of getting V-P shunt operation were analyzed, then the Glasgow outcome scale ( GOS ) of patients were observed at 3 months. Results Compared with patients treated with external ventriular drainage, patients with Ommaya reservoir had the less24-hour mean drain quantum and shorten time to get the V-P shunt operation,the mean days from implantation pumps to get V-P shunl was(57.00 ± 8.06) days. In 13 patients with Ommaya reservoir, 10 patients finished V-P shunt operation finally,3 patients gave up the shunt operation, shunt rate was 76.9%.In the treatment period , 4 patients had to change the Ommaya reservoir, secondary operation rate was 30.8%. Thirteen patients had the chance to get V-P shunt operation among 21 patients which got external ventricular drainage, 3 patients gave up the shunt operation, 5 patients died, shunt rate was 61.9%, 16 patients changed the ventricular drainage tube, sec-ondary operation rate was 76.2%. There was no significant difference in 3-month GOS between them (P >0.05 ). Conclusions Compared with external ventricular drainage, Ommaya reservoir has similar shunt rate.Ommaya reservoir has the less secondary operation rale, shorten the treatment days postoperative intracranial infection combined with hydrocephalus in patients with severe traumatic brain injury, so it should be popularized in clinic.

Finite element analysis can be used to study the change of the structure and the interior field intensity of human and animal body organs and tissues with simulation experiment. We in our research used finite element analysis software to analyze and solve the spinal cord surface potential problems, and investigated the transmission features of signals generated by interneurons in spinal nerves which were related with body motion control and sensory processing. A three dimensional model of electrical source in rat spinal cord was built, and the influence on potential distribution on spinal cord surface caused by position changes of electrical source in transverse direction and dorsoventral direction were analyzed and calculated. We obtained the potential distribution curves of spinal cord surface and found that the potential distribution on spinal cord surface showed monotone. In addition, potentials of some registration points were smaller than that of registration points around.
