1.Studies on the effects of different doses of X-irradiation on the response of Leydig cells to hCG
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1986;0(03):-
The present paper reports the effects of low and high doses of X-irradiation on hCG-induced testosterone secretion in cultured rat Leydig cells. The Leydig cells harvested from testis in immature rats were exposed to 25, 50, 75, 100, 250 mGy and 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0 Gy X-irradiation at a dose-rate of 12.5 mGy/min and 0.51 Gy/min respectively after a preincubation for 24h. The cells were stimulated with 0.025 or 0.05 i.u./ml of hCG for 48 h in culture after X-irradiation. In low dose irradiated Leydig cells, the response to 0.05 i.u./ml of hCG in both 25 and 50 mGy groups was significantly higher than that of the control. No significant changes were found in response to 0.025 i.u./ml hCG in all the low dose groups. In high dose irradiated Leydig cells, the response to either 0,025 or 0.05 i.u./ml hCG was significantly inhibited in a dose-dependent manner. It is concluded that low dose ionizing irradiation acts synergistically with hCG in stimulation of testosterone production, while higher doses inhibit its secretion. The possible mechanisms of these effects were discussed.
2.Effect of Pregnancy and Delivery on the Pelvic Floor Function
Journal of Practical Obstetrics and Gynecology 2010;26(4):304-306
Objective:To investigate the change of petvic floor function in the third trimester of pregnancy and early postpartum.Methods :46 pregnant women in the third trimester in our hosprtal from July to October 2007 were randomly selected.In late pregnancy, 6 ~8 weeks and 12 ~14 weeks after delivery, the incidenca of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and bladder neck mobility in different stage of puerperium was carried out.They were respectively given score, protectrve pad experiment, ultrasonic testing residual urine and peri-neum ultrasound examination.An anarysis on their.Results :The incidence of SUI that diagnosis by POP-Q or POP-Q combined with pat test was 47.83% ,39.13% respectively in late pregnancy group;21.74% ,15.22% in 6 ~8 weeks after delivery;17.24%.13.7g% in 12 ~14 weeks after delivery.The difference between late pregnancy group and 6~8 waeks after delivery group was statistical significance (P<0.05).There was no significantly difference between 6 ~8 weeks and 12 ~14 weeks after delivery groups(P>0.05).There was significant difference between 6 ~ 8 weeks and 12~14 weeks after delivery group while compared the bladder neck angle[(88.11± 13.36)° vs(82.17 ±10.28)°]with the bladder neck rotation angle[(21.67 ±10.64) ° vs (16.79±8.57) °].Conclusions :Pregnancy and delivery can damage the function of pelvic floor, which has certain rehabilitation after delivery.
3.Advance of treatment for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2008;17(5):391-394
Multiple myeloma is a plasma cell malignancy.At diagnosis,most patients are older than 65 years,In newly diagnosed myeloma patients younger than 65 years,high-dose of melphalan followed by autologous stem cell transplantation(ASCT)is regarded as the standard treatment.In elderly patients,usually older than 65 years,oral melphalan and prednisone(MP)has been considered as the standard regimen recently.However,the discovery of thalidomide,lenalidomide,and the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib will increase the effect of clinical treatment.This review will summarize literatures and focus on the treatment of newly diagnosed myeloma.

Journal of Chinese Physician 2013;15(11):1478-1481
Objective To investigate the expressions of signal transducer and activator of transcription factor 3 (STAT3),Bcl-2,and matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) in colorectal adenomas and adenocarcinomas,and the relationship of those factors with the colorectal clinicopathological features and prognosis of intestinal adenocarcinomas,and explore their roles in invasion,metastasis,and prognosis of a colorectal cancer.Methods The samples were selected from Dongyang City People's Hospital from January 2011 to January 2012,including 50 cases of paraffin-coded colorectal mucosas with chronic inflammation,50 cases of paraffincoded colorectal adenomas,and 100 cases of paraffin-coded colorectal adenocarcinomas (35 cases with metastasis and 65 cases without distant metastasis).Envison two method was used to detect the expressions of STAT3,Bcl-2,and MMP2 in each sample.Results The expressions of STAT3,Bcl-2,and MMP2 in colorectal adenomas and adenocarcinomas were significantly higher than those in colorectal mucosas with chronic inflammation (P < 0.05).The expressions of STAT3 and MMP2 in colorectal adenocarcinomas with distant metastasis were significantly higher than that those without distant metastasis (P < 0.05).The expression of BCL-2 had no significant difference between colorectal adenocarcinomas with and without distant metastasis (P > 0.05).Conclusions STAT3,Bcl-2 and MMP2 were associated with occurrence and development of colorectal carcinoma.STAT3 was associated with distant metastasis of colorectal carcinoma and might indicate a poor prognosis.STAT3 might be used as a candidate clinical sign for recurrence,metastasis,and poor survival prognosis of colorectal adenocarcinoma.

Studies show that the Notch signal transduction pathway involves in the regulation and control of cell proliferation,differentiation and apoptosis.Aberrant Notch signaling transduction pathway can induce breast cancer in transgenic mice.High expressions of either Notch receptors or their ligands have been linked to poor prognosis in patients with breast cancer.Inhibition of Notch signal transduction pathway may be beneficial for breast cancer treatment.
