1.Oxidative stress and autism
International Journal of Pediatrics 2012;39(1):99-101
Autism in children is a complex disease of developmental disorder in nervous system,characterized by social deficits,impaired language and communication,stereotyped and repetitive behaviors.Studies indicate oxidative stress is associated with autism.Because of genic and environmental factors,children with autism are susceptible to oxidative stress.Oxidative stress induce the development of autism through abnormal metabolism of the membrane lipid,inflammation and excitotoxicity,autoimmunity,energy metabolism disorder,et al.Anti-oxidation might be a safe and effective therapy for autism.
2.Comparison of two methods for content analysis of vaccine particles in freeze-dried human rabies vaccine (Vero cells) bulk and final bulk
Chinese Journal of Biologicals 2024;37(07):866-872
Objective To compare and analyze two methods for determination of vaccine particle content in freeze-dried human rabies vaccine(Vero cells)bulk and final bulk,and to provide experimental basis for establishing standard detection method for particle content and purity of rabies vaccine products.Methods The samples were subjected to vaccine particle cracking,BCA quantification,and size exclusion chromatograghy-high performance liquid chromatography(SEC-HPLC)analysis. BCA-SEC relative area method and BCA-SEC vaccine particle standard curve method were used to detect the total protein concentration of the bulk and final bulk,separately,and the content of vaccine particles was quantitatively analy-zed. Finally,the detection results of the two methods were compared and analyzed.Results The content of vaccine particles in freeze-dried human rabies vaccine bulk was determined to be within 256-305 μg/mL by the two methods,with an average value of 267-285 μg/mL,and the relative standard deviations(RSDs)ranged from 5. 8% to 10. 2%,with good consistency between two methods. The content of vaccine particles in freeze-dried human rabies vaccine final bulk was determined to be in the range of 149-169 μg/mL by the two methods,with an average value of 152-164 μg/mL,and the two methods showed the RSDs between 0. 9%-4. 7% with good consistency.Conclusion The measured value by BCA-SEC standard curve method deviates less from the expected value and is closer to the actual situation of samples,so it is recommended to use this method as a reference for enterprises.

4.Investigation on the effect of topical corticosteroids as adjunctive plan in the therapy of bacterial corneal ulcers
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2013;20(10):1460-1462
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of topical corticosteroids as adjunctive plan in the therapy of bacterial corneal ulcers (BCU).Methods 62 eligible patients with confirmed BCU were screened and divided into 2 groups randomly.Both groups were treated with topical tobramycin for 3 weeks,the observation group received topical tobramycin for at least 48 hours and then treated with 0.02% fluorometholone for 3 weeks,and decrement setp by step.Best spectacle corrected visual acuity(BSCVA),fluctuation of intraocular pressure (IOP) before and after therapy,time to corneal reepithelialization and clarity,severe adverse event were observed.Results After 3 weeks,BSCVA of both groups increased compared to their baselines,however,no significant difference between the two groups.Patients whose IOP exceed 21mm Hg in the control group was statistically more than that in the observation group(x2 =7.272,P < 0.05).Follow up for 3 months,increasing of BSCVA in the observationgroup was significantly higher than the control group(t =2.388,P < 0.05) ;and lOP of both two groups almost recuperated to baselines.Although the time to corneal reepithelialization of the control group (11.3 ± 4.5) d was shorter than observation group [(14.7 ± 5.2) d] (t =2.707,P < 0.05),the recovery of corneal clarity in observation group was superior to control group (x2 =8.207,P < 0.05).In addition,no severe adverse events were observed during this period.Conclusion Although prolong the healing time of corneal epithelium,corticosteroids as an adjunctive plan in the therapy of BCU may reduce immune-mediated damage,decrease scarring,control IOP fluctuation and improve BSCVA,but with no safety concerns.

The authors give an explanation on the space and time differentiation of three-yin and three-yang as well as the "opening-closing-pivoting" theory based on the predecessor's experience, and then analyze the physiological and pathological characteristics of the six-meridian disorders.
6.From Adult Bone Marrow Cells to Other Cell Lineages:Transdifferentiation or Cells Fusion
Xue JUN ; Peiman YANG ;
Progress of Anatomical Sciences 2003;9(2):155-158,163
Recent studies have demonstrated that intravenous transplantation or local injection of bone marrow cells can induce unexpected changes of their fate. The results of these experiments showed that after transplantation or injecton, some of tissue specific somatic cells such as hepatocytes, skeleton, cardiac muscle cells and brain cells expressed the donor cell-specific genes, such as Y chromosome. There are two hypotheses that can explain this phenomenon. One is bone marrow stem cell transdifferentiation and the other is spontaneous cell fusion.

Objective: To explore the effects of Layhey’s and Lawrence’s reconstruction procedures on nutritional status and digestive symptoms following total gastrectomy for gastric cancer.Methods: To analyze retrospectively 146 patients performed total gastrectomy for gastric cancer.Among them,83 cases were operated by Lahey’s reconstruction procedures and 63 cases by Lawrence’s.It was focused on the comparision of the body weight changing,nutritional status and digestive symptoms in 6 months after operation.Results: In 6 months after operation,the weight loss of Lawrence group was less than that of Lahey group significanly.For the level of total protein and albumin at that time,they increased in Lawrence group,but decreased in Lahey’ group,and the difference was significant.The changing tedency for hemoglobin level in Lawrence group was less than that of Lahey group,but there was no significant difference between them.For the quantity and frequency of food intake,there was no significnat difference between them.In Lawrence group,the number of patients with vomiting were less than that in Lahey’group significantly.Conclusion:The Lawrence reconstruction procedure is more reasonable following total gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
10.Advances in pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2016;25(4):252-256
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare disorder of hematopoietic stem cells due to acquisition of somatic mutations.Somatic mutations in phosphatidylinositol glycan class A (PIGA) account for intravascular hemolysis and other PNH manifestations,but the pathophysiology of clonal expansion of PNH cells cannot be elucidated clearly.PNH is closely related to aplastic anemia and myelodysplastic syndromes.Today,the gold standard for PNH is flow cytometry to detect the absence or severe deficiency of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins on white and red blood cells.However,PNH diagnosed by phenotype is a group of heterogeneous disease in pathogenesis.Eculizumab,a first-in-class monoclonal antibody that inhibits terminal complement,is highly effective in stopping intravascular hemolysis and improving quality of life.Further research on the pathogenesis of PNH would be helpful to understand the underlying reasons for PNH phenotype cells in different patients,improve differential diagnosis and more targeted and specific therapy.Research progress in recent years will be reviewed in this article.
