1.Let-7 and its function in lung cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(2):136-138
Let-7 is found to be downregulated in lung cancer while many kinds of oncogenes expression always increase, and restoration of the let-7 to normal expression level inhibits lung cancer growth evidently.Thus, let-7 might serves as good targets or effective interference tools in exploration of anticancer therapeutics,and has a good prospect in applying it in the early diagnosis, prognosis and therapy in lung cancer.
2.The Regulatory Effects of Dexamethasone on the Acute Experimental Serum Sickness in Rabbits
Journal of Third Military Medical University 1983;0(03):-
This experiment takes the apute experimental serum sickness (AESS) in rabbits as an animal model to investigate the mechanism of the regulatory effects of Dexamethasone (DX) . The results show. DX doesn't inhibit the production of anti-BSA antibody but induces the tendency to increase the level of antibody in rabbits with DX administration on early days (EL, EH); immune complexes(BSA - anti-BSA IGg, CIC) in the rabbits of EL and EH are significantly increased comparing with the later days (LE, LH) and positive controls. Non-specific esterase stainings and the pathological changes of kidney sections are markedly lessened though the amount of anti - BSA antibody, circulating immune complex (CIC) and superoxides dismutase activity in the rabbits of LE and L H are the same as the positive control. The outcome of protecting kidneys of AESS rabbits from injury by DX administration . probadly results from the effects of that DX inhibits infiltration of monocytes into the glomeruli. The role of oxygen radicals in AESS needs further investigation.

A method, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, was introduced for the determination of antigen-specific immune complex (BSA-anti-BSA) in rabbit circulation. The antigen-specific immune complex in the circulation of twelve rabbits were determined by this method. The results showed that this method accords with the regular pattern of immune complex formation more closely than the antigen-nonspecific assay, PEG precipitation method. The procedure of this method is rather simple, its specificity is of high degree, and the amount of serum needed in test is small. This enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is a better method to determine the circulating specific immune complex in rabbits.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis of infective endocarditis in children. Methords Clinical data from 83 patients of infective endocarditis admitted from 1998 to 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. Results In a total of 83 patients, there were 53 males and 30 females, and the average age was 6.8±4.6 years. The main clinical characteristics were fever (77.1%) and mild to moderate anemia (71.1%). The C-reaction protein (67.5%), erythrocyte sedimen-tation rate (60.2%), and white blood cell (47.0%) were elevated. Twenty (24.1%) patients had embolism. Blood culture was pos-itive in 56 (67.5%) cases with bacteria mainly being Gram-positive and Streptococcus and Staphylococcus accounted for 89.3%. Vancomycin and other sensitive antibiotics were effective. Neoplasm was detected in 68 cases (82%) by transthoracic echocar-diograerphy. Fifty-ifve (66.2%) patients underwent cardio surgery. Seven patients (8.4%) died. Conclusion In recent years, the distribution of pathogenic bacteria in infective endocarditis had changed. Streptococcus mitis and Staphylococcus aureus has become a major pathogens and need to be treated by vancomycin and other sensitive antibiotics. The detection rate of neoplasm is higher by echocardiography.
