1.Research progress of Manganese-enhanced MRI optic nerve tracing in vivo
Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2016;34(6):562-565
Manganese-enhanced MRI (MEMRI) optic nerve tracing in vivo is a technology which can reflect the axonal transport status and visual pathway connection by utilizing divalent manganese ion's transportability in axons and its characteristics of paramagnetism,and such potential optic nerve tract-tracing technique has been widely used in ophthalmologic research.Mn2+ enters the neurons through the voltage-gating Ca2+ channel and is transported by microtubule system which is not depended on cellular electric activity.However,the trans-synaptic transport of Mn2+ relies on membrane potential.Taking advantages of MEMRI,optic nerve injury-related research could be implemented.Mn2+ is an intracellular contrast agent with metal toxicity,so low dose,fractionated,targeted delivery of Mn2+ is recommended to alleviate the adverse effects of Mn2+.Herein,the mechanism of divalent manganese ion optic nerve tracing,application of MEMRI in ophthalmologic research field,drug delivery approach of divalent Mn2+ and its toxicity were summarized.
2.The function of epigenetic modification in human leukemia
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2010;19(5):313-316
In the past few years, people have a new understanding of the mechanism of Epigenetic disease. Epigenetic modification processes involved in human disease include DNA methylation, histone acetylation and methylation, RNA-associated silencing.Epigenetic modification related with cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis, transformation and tumor progression-related gene transcription. There has been a long time that the gene mutations involved in tumor formation. In recent years.more and more evidences that genetic and epigenetic modifications leading to the formation of tumors. Epigenetic modifications has also play a very important role in the formation of tumors. This article discussed the DNA methylation.histone post-translational modification anomalies and small interference RNA impact on the formation of leukemia. It provides new prospects for the treatment of leukemia.

Objective To investigate the effects of inhibition of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-?B) by pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) on tissue pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine expression in rats with postburn Staphylococcus aureus sepsis and its potential regulating mechanism. Methods Thirty-four male Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control group (n=6), scald control group (n=6), postburn sepsis group (n=12),and PDTC treatment group (n=10). Tissue samples from the liver, kidneys and lungs were collected to determine tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) mRNA expression as well as their protein levels. Results Both TNF-? mRNA and protein expressions in the liver, kidneys and lungs of postburn septic animals were up-regulated rapidly at 0.5-2 hours (P

Objective To study the influence of defection of Fragile X mental retardation-1 gene (FMR1) on cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and to discuss its mechanism. Methods FMR1 gene of peripheral blood mononuclear cell was silenced in vitro by sodium nitrointroprusside. The effect of gene-silencing was detected using reverse transcript polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The specific activity of adenylate cyclase and phosphodiesterase was showed by the activity ratio of yield or consumption of cAMP during a unit time. Spectrophotometry was used to measure the two key enzymes (adenylate cyclase and phosphodiesterase), as to determining the level of intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate in the process of cAMP metabolism. Results FMR1 gene was fully silenced by sodium nitrointroprusside at 12th, 24th and 48th hour separately, re-expressed at 72th hour. If the cultivated fluild was replaced with new sodium nitrointroprusside at 48th hour, FMR1 gene would be silenced continuously. The intracellular cAMP level in the gene silenced group was lower, and significant depression of adenylate cyclase specific activity was found in the FMR1 gene silenced group (P=0.000). No significant difference was found on phosphodiesterase specific activity (P=0.983). Conclusions The results suggest that the yield of cAMP could be influenced by defection of FMR1. The depression of adenylate cyclase activity might be one of the causes of the decrease of intracellular cAMP production.
5.Attending doctor's responsibility system for medical management
Chinese Journal of Hospital Administration 2011;27(10):767-769
The responsibility system of attending doctors plays a positive role in raising hospital efficiency and optimizing medical resources deployment.For the change in the subject of medical liabilities following the introduction of this system,medical management needs to shift from department management to doctor management instead.In the meantime,appropriate rules and regulations are needed to normalize the roles and behavior of the medical office,department heads,and attending doctors in medical activities.This will ensure the successful operation of this responsibility system,and generate ideal medical,economic and social outcomes.
6.Research and Development of Cordyceps Sinensis and Its Preparations for the Treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease
Journal of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University 2014;(2):230-232
[Objective]To review the effect of treatment in chronic kidney disease and its preparation of Cordyceps sinensis. [Methods] By searching and reading the literature, to study the therapeutic effects of Cordyceps sinensis and its preparation on chronic kidney disease.[Results] Cordyceps and its prepa-ration could significantly decrease the proteinuria in patients with chronic kidney disease, serum creatinine level, significant improvement in renal fibrosis, and delay the progression of renal function.

7.Development and evaluation of the Chinese version of Patient Learning Needs Scale (PLNS)
Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2009;25(29):4-7
Objective To develop the Chinese version of Patient Learning Needs Scale(PLNS), and evaluate the feasibility, validity and reliability of the developed scale. Methods The standard procedure of cross-culture adaptation was used to develop the Chinese version PLNS. A total of 385 adults hospitalized with a medical or surgical illness completed the Chinese version PLNS. The feasibil-ity and psychometric properties of the scale such as, internal consistency, split-half reliability, content validity and construct validity were evaluated. Results Questionnaire recovery rate of the investiga-tion was 98.5%,the completion rate was 97.7%. Average time of completing was (13.75±4.36) min. The overall Cronbaeh's α coefficient was 0.95 and the value of a in 5 subscales of PLNS ranged from 0.75 to 0.86. The overall split-half reliability coefficient was 0.95 and the value of split-half in 5 subscales of PLNS ranged from 0.802 to 0.876. The CVI for content validity was 0.86. The construct validity was con-finned by factor analysis with 55,08% variance was explained by 9 factors. Conclusions An accept-able psychometric property of the Chinese version of PLNS was indicated. PLNS could be used as positive aspects measurement of general patients'perceptions of learning needs while discharging.It might be help-ful for care and further clinical study.

Journal of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University 2006;0(04):-
[Objective] To evaluate and describe CT findings in patients with pathologically confirmed retroperitoneal fibrosis. [Methods] CT findings in 8 patients (6 males, 2 females) pathologically confirmed retroperitoneal fibrosis were retrospectively reviewed and pertinent literature was discussed. [Results] Retroperitoneal fibrosis showed similar features in CT imaging: retroperitoneal irregular mass around abdominal aorta embedding adjacent tissue, with mild or moderate enhancement, unilateral or bibateral ureterectasis with hydronephrosis. [Conclusions] The pristine clinical manifestation of retroperitoneal fibrosis is occult and nonspecific. CT examination is a valuable approach to diagnose retroperitoneal fibrosis.
