1.Role of PI3 K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway in hepatocellular carcinoma
Journal of Clinical Hepatology 2014;30(9):954-957
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase,Akt,and the mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/Akt/mTOR)signaling pathway is shown to play a key role in the tumorigenesis,proliferation,metastasis,apoptosis,and angiogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)by regulating gene expression.The components and functions of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway are briefly described,and the research advances in the action mechanism of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway in the progression of HCC and related inhibitors are reviewed.It is disclosed that blocking the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway may become a new therapy for HCC.

Chinese Mental Health Journal 2002;0(08):-
Objective:To study the relationship between psychosomatic symptoms and psychosocial factors of nursing students in military school.Methods:469 nursing students of a military medical school were investigated by SCL-90,EPQ,PSSS,Coping style inventory and self-esteem scale and so on.Results:Nursing students had lower SCL-90 score than the norm of Chinese female and that of military medical students.Their SCL-90 score correlated with EPQ-E、EPQ-L negatively and EPQ-N、EPQ-P positively.It also correlated with passive coping style positively; with positive coping style,self-esteem negatively.Conclusion:Nursing students of military school have less psychosomatic symptoms than medical students.The influential factors are similar to other populations.

Objective To explore the operative method for reconstruction of superior vena cave (SVC) and its branches in the treatment of patients with malignant mediastinal or pulmonary tumors through anterior mediastinotomy. Methods From 2001 to 2004 year, 22 patients with malignant mediastinal tumor or lung cancer received the resection of tumors and the reconstruction of the superior vena cave and its branches through anterior mediastinotomy. The operative efficacy was followed up in all patients. Results There was neither severe operative complications nor operative death in this group of patients, and 2 patients died of tumor recurrence in one year of post-operation, while others survived till now. Only one artificial graft occlusion occurred one month after operation. Conclusion The complete resection of malignant mediastinal or pulmonary tumors and the reconstruction of superior vena cave and its branches through anterior mediastinotomy is simple and reliable, and can remarkably improve the survival time of the short-term and long-term of the patients with malignant mediastinal or pulmonary tumor invading SVC.

Objective To evaluate the effect of stereotactic radiotherapy combined with conventional radiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)patients with positive stump at the resected bronchial margin. Methods From June 1996 to November 2000, 41 NSCLC patients in whom microscopic residual disease found pathologically at the resected bronchial margin were treated by: conventional radiotherapy followed by stereotactic radiotherapy ( RT+SRT group 18 patients), while the other 23 patients received routine radiotherapy alone (RT group). Results The 1-,2-and 3-year local disease-free rates were better in RT+ SRT group (92.3%,~83.1% and 83.1%) than those in RT group (80.2%,60.2% and 39.5% ). However, no significant difference was found in the complication rate or survival rate between the two groups. Conclusions Stereotactic radiotherapy is effective as a boost irradiation to patients with non-small cell lung cancer with microscopic residual disease at the resected bronchial margin by improving the local control.

Objective To analyze the clinical treatment in patients with nevus of Ota with Q switched Nd∶YAG Laser. Methods Total 326 patients nevus of Ota were treated. According to the shade of pigment, age and gender of the patients, the different technical parameters were selected. Results After 2 4 times of treatment, excellent results were obtained in 221 patients, good in 74 patients, and improved in 31 patinets. The total effective rate was 90.5 %. After treatment, the skin exposured to the laser in the patients had reaction of continued pigmentation in different degree. Usually, the above reaction will gradually disappeared without any scar formation. Conclusion Satisfactory results are obtained in patients with nevus of Ota treated with Q switched Nd∶YAG laser. [

Objective To investigate the principles of combined traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment of early postoperation inflammatory small bowel obstruction(EPISBO).Methods 93 cases of EPISBO were randomly divided into two groups including group A,47 cases received combined traditional Chinese and west- ern medicine treatment,and group B 46 received only western medicine treatment.Results 93 patients were all cured through nonsurgical treatment.The combined traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment was better in symtom improvement and reduce of expense.Conclusion The principle treatment of EPISBO is mainly nonsurgical. The traditional Chinese medicine and somatostatin are very important.

Authentications of Chinese herbal medicine have a critical effect in Chinese clinical medicine. DNA molecular marker, as an important component for true or false authentication, is more and more widely used in iden-tification of Chinese medicinal materials. At the same time, many new methods for authentication of Chinese medici-nal materials are continuously emerging. But the systematically comparative analysis of these new methods is lack. The present study taking Lonicera japonica as an example, systematically compared principles, characteristics, ex-periment methods, detection time and the application scope of express sequence tag-simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR), polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), allele-specific PCR (AS-PCR), DNA barcoding and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), and put forward corresponding improve-ment opinions. This study can help to screen appropriate approach for rapid authentication of L. japonica and offer demonstrating to other Chinese herbal medicines.
