1.Clinical therapy evaluation of high intensity focused ultrasound for tumor
Journal of International Oncology 2010;37(4):281-283
By destroying tumor vessels or directly killing tumor cells, high-intensity focused ultrasound ( HIFU) kills tumors or reduces tumor volume and decreases metastasis,lessens patients pain in advanced stage tumors and improves patients life quality. HIFU in combination with other therapies can kill more tumor cells, reduce long-term recurrence rate and achieve synergetic effect. HIFU therapy has many advantages, such as little trauma, small side effects and repeatable treatment and so on.
2.Development and differentiation of B cells and autoimmune diseases
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2014;29(21):1611-1613
Of B cells derived from bone marrow hematopoictic stem cells,bone marrow (poultry,as the bursa of fabricius) is a place of B cells development and mature.The growth of B cells can experience from progenitor cell B,pre-B cells,immature B ceils and mature B cells stages in the bone marrow.The differentiation process of B cells can be divided into antigen independ stage and antigen depend stage.CD5 + B1 cells and B10 cells of B cell subsets probably associated with autoimmune disease,B1 cells may play roles of promotion in inflammatory reaction,and B10 cells may suppress autoimmune inflammation.
