3.MicroRNA in platinum-resistance of ovarian cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(5):384-386
MircoRNAs (miRNAs) are widely existing inorganisms, non-coding small RNA. MircoR-NAs play important role in cell proliferation, apoptosis, stress resistance and fat metabolism. In vitro studies indicate that miRNAs are important factors in platinum resistance of ovarian cancer cell lines. However, the pathway of platinum resistance of ovarian cancers is complex. Studies find miRNA expression play important roles in the sensitivity of platinum resistance of ovarian cancer cell lines , and can be used as an early alert for platinum resistance. Changing the expression of miRNA even can reverse the platinum resistance . But the regular role of miRNAs in target genes network is still unconfirmed. Thus, more studies about miRNA in vivo and animal tumor models are needed to identify the function of miRNAs in platinum resistance of ovarian cancer.

International Eye Science 2015;(5):904-905
?AlM:To analyze the related risk factors of retinopathy in pregnancy induced hypertension syndrome ( PlHS) .
?METHODS:Two hundred and sixty-two cases with the PlHS retinal lesions were selected, and the correlation between PlHS stage, age, body mass, albuminuria, mean arterial blood pressure, hematocrit value and retinopathy in PlHS were observed.
?RESULTS: Retinal stage increased with the increase of the grade of PlHS (χ2regression=52. 13, P<0. 05);there was no statistical significance between age and retinopathy (χ2regression=6. 52, P>0. 05);the greater body mass was, the higher the degree of retinopathy was (χ2regression=22. 97, P<0. 05 ); albuminuria was associated with retinopathy (χ2regression = 40. 16, P<0. 05 ); the degree of retinopathy increased with the increase of mean arterial blood pressure (χ2regression = 44. 38, P < 0. 05 ); the degree of retinopathy increased with the increase of hematocrit value (χ2regression=52. 73, P<0. 05).
?CONCLUSlON: PlHS stage, body mass, albuminuria, mean arterial blood pressure, hematocrit value are the related risk factors of retinopathy in PlHS.
5.Investigation and Analysis of Availability and Affordability of Essential Medicine in Nanjing Based on WHO/HAI Standard Survey Method
China Pharmacy 2015;(30):4188-4191,4192
OBJECTIVE:To understand the availability and affordability of essential medicines in Nanjing after implementing national essential medicine system,and to provide evidence for formulating and completing related policy. METHODS:With inves-tigation subjects of 6 classes of diseases with high incidence,WHO/HAI standard survey method was adopted to select 24 essential medicines and investigate and evaluate the availability and affordability of them in governmental health institutions and social retail pharmacies in Nanjing. RESULTS:Availability of essential medicines in community health service centers in Nanjing was lower than governmental hospitals and social retail pharmacies,and availability of lowest price generic drugs (LPGs) was much higher than original brand drugs (OBs);affordability was totally good,however,there were large gap in the affordability between OBs and LPGs,the affordability of OBs was relatively poor. CONCLUSIONS:The national essential medicine system has made some progress in Nanjing,but worse than expected. It is suggested to update and adjust the essential medicine list based on the clinical medication requirement,guarantee the equipment of essential medicines in medical and health institutions,popularize the knowl-edge about essential medicines,properly adjust the price of original brand drugs and ease the treatment burden.
6.Quality standard for Duhuo Jisheng Mixturae
Chinese Traditional Patent Medicine 1992;0(09):-
AIM: To establish the quality standard for Duhuo Jisheng Mixture (Radix Angelicae Pubescentis, Herba Taxilli, Cortex Fraxini, etc.) METHODS: Herbs in Duhuo Jisheng Mixture were identified by TLC, and osthol content was determined by TLCS. RESULTS: Rhizoma Chuanxiong; Radix Angelicae Sinensis; Radix Saposhnikoviae; Radix Gentianae Macrophyllae; Cortex Eucommiae; Herba Asari; Radix Paeoniae Alba could be determined. Osthol showed a good linear relationship at a range of 0.466 - 3.600 ?g,r= 0.999 2 . The average recovery was 95.4% . CONCLUSION:The methods are available with a reproducibility and can control the quality of this mixture.
7.Limit test for aristolochic acid in Herba Asari by HPLC
Chinese Traditional Patent Medicine 1992;0(06):-
AIM:To study the detection limits of aristolochic acid in Herba Asari preparation by HPLC. METHODS: Whether Asarum hetertropoides Fr.Schmidt ver.Mandshuricum(Maxim.) Kitag contained aristolochic acid A or not by HPLC and MS,and the difference in the reference substance and the sample solution was compared. RESULTS: Aristolochic acid A could not be found in A.hetertropoides Fr.Schmidt ver.Mandshuricum(Maxim.)Kitag by HPLC,but be found by MS. CONCLUSION:A.hetertropoides Fr.Schmidt ver.Mandshuricum (Maxim.)Kitag contained trace aristolochic acid,but it is difficult to measure aristolochic acid in Herba Asari by HPLC.The baseline noise of the sample solution can interfere with the detection limit of the trace compound compound
8.Effects of Pine Pollen on Expression of p16 and p21 in Human Embryonic Lung Diploid Fibroblasts
Journal of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University 2007;0(01):-
[Objective] To observe the effects of pine pollen on the changes of p16INK4a and p21WAF1 in 2BS cells.[Method]The 2BS cells were cultured from 28 population doubling(PD)and divided equally into the young control group,old control group,middle-dose pine pollen group(120mg/dl)and high-dose pine pollen group(240mg/dl)randomly.Regulate the phases of cell cycle by flow cytometry,and then the expression of p16INK4a,p21WAF1 mRNA were determined by semi-quantitative RT-PCR.[Result]The amount of cells in G1 phase was depressed in middle-dose pine pollen group(72.73%?1.76%)and high-dose pine pollen group(64.15%?0.87%)than in old control group(81.33%?3.43%)noticeablely(P
9.The clinical analysis of 109 cases of vulvar squamous cell carcinoma
Cancer Research and Clinic 2014;26(4):241-242,249
Objective To analyze the clinical data of vulvar squamous cell carcinoma and discuss the related risk factors.Methods The clinical data obtained from 109 cases of vulvar squamous cell carcinoma were analyzed retrospectively.Results The most common ages of onset were 50-69 years.The course of canceration was usually 6-12 months,and most lesions occurred on the labia majora.The sizes of tumour were around 2-4 cm,and more than 90 % of lesions were well-differentiated squamous cell carcinomas.According to 2009 FIGO new staging of vulva cancer,more patients were reclassified as stage Ⅰ B,while patients with stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ became less.99 out of 109 patients also had nonneoplastic epithelial disorders of vulva.The lesions mostly affected the labia majora and the labia minora,and 60 % of them were pathologically diagnosed as lichen sclerosus.Patients with nonneoplastic epithelial disorders of vulva usually developed into vulvar carcinoma within 10-15 years.Conclusion The incidence of vulvar squamous cell carcinoma is closely related with vulvar nonneoplastic epithelial disorders of the vulva.As the chronic nonneoplastic epithelial disorders of vulva increase the risk of vulvar cancer,periodic follow-up will help its early detection.
