1.Research Progress in the F Gene and Protein of the Respiratory Syncytial Virus.
Chinese Journal of Virology 2015;31(2):201-206
The respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) belongs to the family Paramyxoviridae and subfamily Pneumovirinae. The RSV can cause acute infections of the lower respiratory tract in infants. The F gene of the RSV is a conservative gene and varies only slightly in its expression. Few studies focusing on the variability of the F gene have been carried out. F protein (fusion glycoprotein) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that mediates fusion and penetration between the virus and host cells. Neutralizing antibody against the F protein can protect against infection by RSV subtypes A and B. Hence, F protein has become the main target for the development of a monoclonal antibody and vaccine against the RSV. An effective vaccine is not available, so a monoclonal antibody against F protein is now the most important method to reduce the morbidity and severity associated with RSV infection in high-risk children. However, a monoclonal antibody can lead to the production of drug-resistant strains of the RSV. This review focuses on genetic variation of the F gene of the RSV as well as progress in the development of a monoclonal antibody against F protein and a vaccine in the last decade.

2.Research development of triple-negative breast cancer chemotherapy
Journal of International Oncology 2012;39(1):27-31
Triple-negative breast cancer ( TNBC ) is a subtype of breast cancer,and it is characterized by an aggressive clinical course with a poor prognosis.Treatment for TNBC has attracted much attention in recent years,however,there is no standard treatment for TNBC in clinical setting.The pCR rates of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in TNBC ranges from 12% to 48% in the current published data,and it is higher than that in other types of breast cancer,however,the fluctuating range of the TNBC ’s pCR is large in literature.Although the administration of adjuvant chemotherapy for early TNBC is controversial,the regimen without anthracyclines is reported to be suitable for early TNBC patients.Standard cytotoxic agents including taxanes and anthracyclines are still the main choices for TNBC salvage treatment,and the combination with gemcitabine or capecitabine may improve the overall survival.Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is a new molecular target for TNBC in ongoing studies.Further research on the target-inhibitors such as BSI-201and Olaparib will provide more effective choices to clinical treatment.
3.Relationship between perfectionism and depression in college students:mediation of self-esteem
Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2013;(6):548-549
Objective To explore the mediation effect of self-esteem on the relationship between perfectionism and depression in college students.Methods Totally 292 college students completed Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (FMPS),Hewitt Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (HMPS),Slaney Almost Perfect Scale-Revised (APS-R),Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (SES) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI).Results Maladaptive perfectionism was positively correlated with depression (r =0.54,P < 0.01),and negatively correlated with self-esteem (r =-0.55,P < 0.01).Adaptive perfectionism was not correlated with depression (r =-0.09,P > 0.05),and was positively correlated with self-esteem (r =0.36,P <0.01).Self-esteem partially mediated the association between maladaptive perfectionism and depression.The partial mediation effect was significant (P <0.05).The mediation model fitted the data well (GFI =0.986,CFI =0.988,NFI =0.981,TLI =0.970,RMSEA =0.075).Conclusion Self-esteem has partially mediating effect on perfectionism and depression.
4.Correlative analysis between pressure ulcer during operation and operation time under lateral operation position
Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2013;(10):48-49
Objective To analyze the correlation between pressure ulcer during operation and operation time under lateral operation position.Methods 89 operation patients all adopted lateral position.Pressure ulcer during operation was observed and operation time was registered.Results The operations went on smoothly.Operation time lasted 1 to 8 hours.There were 42 operations exceeded 4 hours and pressure ulcer during operation was observed in 15 patients.Positive rate was 35.7%.There were 47 operations lasted less than 4 hours and pressure ulcer during operation was observed in 6 patients.Positive rate was 12.8%.Statistical differences were significant between the two groups.Conclusions For those operation patients with lateral position whose operation time would be longer,especially more than 4 hours,nursing intervention measures should be adopted to prevent pressure ulcer during operation.
5.Analysis of 108 Cases of Adverse Drug Reactions Induced by Ticagrelor in Our Hospital
China Pharmacy 2016;27(29):4085-4087
OBJECTIVE:To explore the general regulation and characteristics of adverse drug reactions(ADR)induced by ti-cagrelor,and provide reference for clinical rational drug use. METHODS:672 patients received ticagrelor in our hospital from Dec. 2013 to Jun. 2015 were followed-up,and the situation was analyzed and summarized after taking drug. RESULTS:In the 672 patients,78(11.6%)patients sutfered from 108 cases of ADR,the ratio of male to female was 5.5∶1,there was statistical signifi-cance (P<0.05);patients mostly aged 51-60 years (37.2%);the mainly involved organs/systems were respiratory system (41.7%),and skin and its appendages (38.0%),the main clinical manifestations were minor bleeding (78.7%),dyspnea (17.6%) and bradycardia (2.8%);no severe ADR was found. CONCLUSIONS:Ticagrelor had good safety and tolerability,but due to its shorter time to market in China and absense of evidence-based medicine for large-scale clinical trials in Asian population, clinic should strengthen medication monitoring to reduce the ADR and ensure drug safety.

9.Research progress of cytokines in aqueous humor of patients with glaucoma
International Eye Science 2017;17(10):1864-1866
Aqueous humor is the product of the ciliary body. It provides nutrition for the iris, cornea, lens, and trabecular meshwork. Compared to the blood, the aqueous humor can better reflect the intraocular environment. Therefore, the detection of cytokines in the aqueous humor has become one of the hot topics in ophthalmology in recent years. Altered cytokine levels in the aqueous humor have been observed in many ocular diseases, including glaucoma. Some investigators hypothesized that cytokines in the aqueous humor are associated with the pathophysiology of glaucoma, and even affect the prognosis of glaucoma filtering surgery. In this paper, the changes of several cytokines in the aqueous humor of glaucoma eyes were summarized, and the relationship between them was analyzed.
