The Journal of Practical Medicine 2015;31(23):3950-3952
Objective To investigate whether acupuncture can prevent postoperative nauseaand vomiting (PONV)in patients received breast surgery. Methods Two hundred and forty patients were randomly divided into the acupuncture group and the control group. Patients in the acupuncture group were treated at bilateral Hegu (L4) and Neiguan (P6) after surgery. Patients in the control group received no any interventions. The occurrence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, the number of complete remission and the remedial treatment were record ed. Results The incidences of nausea and vomiting in the acupuncture group were lower than those in the control group from 2 h to 6 h post-operation, with less need of remedy treatment (P < 0.05, respectively). Conclusion Acupuncture in preventing nausea and vomiting after breast surgery owns a certain value in the early postoperative (6 h) stage, with effectively reducing the occurrence of postoperative nausea and vomiting.
2.N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor NR2B subunit and neuronal apoptosis
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2010;18(4):306-310
Neuronal apoptosis is one of the important forms of neuronal death in ischemic stroke.N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-mediated excitatory amino acid toxicity plays an important role in neuronal apoptosis. It is the initiator and executor of apoptosis in neuronal cells. NR2B is the major regulatory subunit of this receptor, its transmembrane segment M2 is a reflexed membrane loop region facing cytoplast toward intramembrane, forming the inner wall of ion channel, which determines the permeability of the NMDA receptor ion channel to calcium. Glutamate mediates cell injury mainly through calcium overload, therefore, NR2B subunit plays a vital role in the neuronal apoptosis in ischemic stroke.

Chinese Journal of Clinical Infectious Diseases 2014;7(2):179-182
Klebsiella Pneumoniae is an important pathogen for various infections clinically,in which hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP) mainly causes pyogenic liver abscess.By now,there are no standardized method to identify hvKP strains.hvKP strains are usually with hypermucoviscous phenotype,and the prevailing serotypes and clonal types are K1,K2 and CC23,CC65,respectively.Genes rmpA,magA,alls and kfu contribute to the pathogenicity of hvKP.This paper reviews the identification,clonal types and serotypes,hypermucoviscous phenotype and some other virulent genes of hvKP.

5.Attention should be paid to hereditary ovarian cancer
Journal of Xi'an Jiaotong University(Medical Sciences) 2017;38(5):625-632
The occurrence of 20 to 25 percent of ovarian cancer is associated with genetic factors.Hereditary ovarian cancer includes genetic ovarian cancer and familial ovarian cancer.The genetic characteristics of tumors and the development of gene testing technology make it possible to detect tumor-related mutational genes by testing the gene of the proband and thus identify the other family members at risk and intervene early so as to realize early prevention and detection of the cancer.The paper reviews the genetic basis and pathogenesis of hereditary ovarian cancer as well as methods of detecting mutational genes, management of the proband, problems at present, and disease prevention for high-risk individuals.It stresses that we should pay attention to hereditary ovarian cancer in clinical work, identify the proband, and make comprehensive evaluation of risks of the patients` relatives so as to provide individualized guidance and carry out the concept of precision medicine.

AIM: Nur77 expression can lead to T cell apoptosis, and it is activated by the second messenger calcium. The calcium-responsive elements in the Nur77 promoter are two putative binding sites for the transcription factor, myocyte enhancer factor-2D (MEF2D). In this study, we explored whether MEF2D could be acetylated in Nur77-induced T cell apoptosis and whether MEF2D acetylation was affected by the regulation of Nur77 expression. METHODS: The experiment was performed at Department of Hematology-Oncology in the First Hospital of Jilin University from November 2006 to September 2007. ①Escherichia coli DH5?and plasmid pcDNA3 were held by the Research Center in the First Hospital of Jilin University. Plasmids pET32M, Flag-p300 and pSilencerTM-p300 RNAi were gifts from Professor Zhengguo Wu from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Plasmid NFATp was contributed by Yun Chen from Harvard University. Jurkat cells were provided by Department of Hematology- Oncology in the First Hospital of Jilin University. ②The full-length Nur77 gene, generated by PCR, and the Nur77-dependent luciferase reporter gene were subcloned into plasmid pcDNA. The variant sequences of MEF2D (1-514, 1-121, 1-300, 301-514) and the MEF2D (4KR) lysine-to-arginine mutants, at lysine sites K245/K250/K267/K279, had the Flag epitope at their amino termini. All of the above plasmids were constructed in bacterial expression vectors and the constructed clones were verified by sequencing and then transfected with liposome DMRIE-C. ③The impact of p300 on the trans-activation function of Nur77, mediated by MEF2D, was detected by luciferase reporter assays after Nur77-dependent reporter gene was transfected together with MEF2D, p300 or NFATp into Jurkat cells. In vivo acetylation of endogenous MEF2D and whether acetylation of MEF2D was affected by blocking the expression of p300 were detected by immunoprecipitation. The acetylated sites of MEF2D were detected by acetylation assays in vitro. The impacts of both MEF2D acetylation defects on trans-activation of Nur77 and on apoptosis of T cells induced by Nur77 were detected by luciferase reporter assays and flow cytometry, respectively. RESULTS: ①Although the dimeric complex of MEF2D and NFATp could not induce the transcription of Nur77, significant transcription was achieved with the ternary complex of p300, NFAT and MEF2D. The dimeric complex of p300 and MEF2D could also significantly induce Nur77transcription.②MEF2D was acetylated after the calcium signaling pathway was activated by PMA/Iono. The acetylation level of MEF2D was markedly reduced when p300 expression was blocked by p300 RNAi. ③The simultaneous mutation of K245/K250/K267/K279 lysine sites largely prevented the acetylation of MEF2D, which demonstrated that K245/K250/K267/K279 lysine sites in vitro were the major sites of MEF2D acetylation. ④The MEF2D acetylation defect increased by 2.48 fold the transcription f of Nur77, when compared with vacant vector. But compared with wild type MEF2D, transcription of Nur77 was decreased by 70.4%. ⑤When compared with vacant vector, Nur77 expression could increase total T cell apoptosis of early and late periods from 4.3% up to 16.3%; the co-expression of wild type MEF2D and Nur77 could further increase total T cells apoptosis of early and late periods from 16.3% to 31.0%. However, the co-expression of acetylation defective MEF2D mutant and Nur77 significantly decreased total T cells apoptosis of early and late periods from 16.3% to 9.2%. CONCLUSION : p300 has a major impact on the transactivation function of Nur77 mediated by MEF2D. MEF2D could be acetylated in Nur77-induced T cell apoptosis and acetylated MEF2D could promote T cell apoptosis by upregulating the transcription function of Nur77.

Objective: To study the protective effect of anti-tumor necrosis factor-?antibody (TNF-? Ab) on lung injury after cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB). Methods: 20 patients with valve diseases underwent valve replacement under CPB. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: control group and TNF-? Ab group. In the TNF-? Ab group, human TNF-? Ab was dropped into the intracheal tube before operation and just after releasing the aortic clamp, respectively. Lung dynamic compliance, blood neutrophils count and TNF-? from the right and left atrium were determined perioperatively. Results: The dynamic compliance of the lung in TNF-? Ab group was higher than that in control group. TNF-? Ab can reduce releasing of TNF-? and restrain leukocyte accumulation in the lung. Conclusion: TNF-? Ab has markedly protective effect on lung injury after CPB.
