1.Induced pluripotent stem cell therapy:transplant rejection and safety
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;(10):1619-1623
BACKGROUND:Induced pluripotent stem cels have been a hotspot in regenerative medicine research since it was discovered. The clinical application of induced pluripotent stem cels is excessively focused on, but the safety issue is almost ignored. OBJECTIVE:By summarizing the application of induced pluripotent stem cels in animal experiments to analyze the safety problems of induced pluripotent stem cels and their possible reasons in order to lay a foundation for further study and clinical application of induced pluripotent stem cels. METHODS: PubMed database was retrieved by the first author for articles related to the safety of induced pluripotent stem cels published from 2006 to 2014 using the keywords of “induced pluripotent stem cels, safety, immune, immunogenicity, tumorigenicity, cancer, epigenomic, transplantation, generation, reprogramming,genomic, mutation” in English. Related ful texts were got from Cel Press and Nature Databases. Finaly, 28 articles were chosen in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Safety problems of induced pluripotent stem cels are attracting more and more attentions. Immunogenicity, potential tumorigenicity and epigenetic variation are major risks for the clinical applications of induced pluripotent stem cels. Safety issues of induced pluripotent stem cels mainly come from the reprogramming process. The “integrating genetic manipulation” may lead to a greater risk of tumorigenicity than non-integrating operations. Epigenetic variations emerge in the reprogramming, which are mostly relative to “epigenetic memory” of reprogrammed cels.

Objective:To study therapeutic effect of cilazapril and amlodipine on QT interval dispersion and arrhyth-mia in patients with essential hypertension (EH) .Methods:A total of 120 EH patients complicated with ventricular arrhythmia in our hospital from Mar 2011 to Mar 2014 were enrolled ,randomly and equally divided into cilazapril group and amlodipine group ,the two groups all received routine antihypertensive therapy .Blood pressure ,QT in-terval and arrhythmias were compared between two groups .Results:Compared with amlodipine group ,there were significant reductions in 24h mean systolic blood pressure [24hSBP ,(123.81 ± 17.95) mmHg vs .(104.92 ± 14.25) mmHg] ,24h mean diastolic blood pressure [24hDBP ,(88.31 ± 10.28) mmHg vs .(72.24 ± 8.45) mmHg] ,24hSBP variability [ (11.62 ± 1.34) mmHg vs .(7.34 ± 0.97) mmHg] ,24hDBP variability [ (9.47 ± 1.18) mmHg vs .(5.13 ± 0.72) mmHg] ,QT interval [ (385.1 ± 50.4) ms vs .(342.7 ± 48.5) ms] ,corrected QT interval [ (362.7 ± 50.2) ms vs .(321.8 ± 45.1) ms] and QT interval dispersion [ (34.1 ± 5.1) ms vs .(22.5 ± 3.7) ms] in cilazapril group , P<0.05 or <0.01;ventricular arrhythmia class in cilazapril group was significantly better than that of amlodipine group , P<0. 05. Conclusion:Therapeutic effect of cilazapril is more helpful to reduce blood pressure ,QT interval dispersion and improve ventricular arrhythmia than amlodipine in EH patients complicated with arrhythmia .
3.Preventation of excessive treatment for benign tumors of liver
Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2015;14(2):97-98
Currently,since a single treatment standard of benign tumors of liver is not established,many serious out-comes due to the excessive treatment of benign tumors of liver still happen sometimes.We should pay attention to composing the guideline on the treatment for the different types of benign tumors of liver on the basis of the multidisciplinary cooperation and the randomized controlled trials,and achieving the goals of an unified standard and the standardized therapy,meanwhile,avoiding the pain and burden of excessive treatment on the patients.
4.Rapid on-site evaluation in pulmonology
Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2016;39(9):861-864
Rapid on- site evaluation (ROSE) had gradually become an essential tool in interventional section, especially in pulmonary diseases. People were no longer limited to routine endoscopic operation. ROSE combined with fine-needle aspiration (FNA) enhanced the diagnostic efficiency and diagnostic accuracy of routine bronchoscopes, endobronchial ultrasound- guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) and percutaneous lung biopsy. ROSE can read out the specimen on site , give preliminary diagnosis, and provide help for next operation. The ROSE included cytological ROSE (C-ROSE) and microbiological ROSE (M-ROSE). Now in clinic, C-ROSE was used more broadly. C-ROSE expanded the check range of routine endoscopic operation, and it had been proven to be safe and useful tools.
5.Observations on the Curative Effect of Multi-needle Shallow Puncture on Simple Obesity
Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2007;5(4):241-244
To compare the clinical efficacy of multi-needle shallow puncture with conventional acupuncture for treating simple obesity. Methods: According to the principle of evidencebased medicine, 40 simple obesity patients were randomly allocated to a multi-needle shallow puncture group of 20 cases and a conventional acupuncture group of 20 cases.Treatment was given once daily, 20 times in total. Body weight, standard body weight, body mass index, fat percentage, chest circumference, waist circumference and hip circumference were recorded before and after treatment. The obtained data was analyzed. Results: Body weight and waist circumference significantly changed in both groups after treatment. The curative effect was significantly better in the multi-needle shallow puncture group than in the conventional acupuncture group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Multi-needle shallow puncture has clinically a good effect on simple obesity. Its effect is better than that of conventional acupuncture.
6.The first-line treatment regimens of peripheral T-cell lymphomas
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2013;22(9):571-576
Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) are a kind of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL),which arise from heterogeneous mature T-lymphocyte and include a variety of different subtypes.Compared with B-cell lymphoma,PTCLs are characterized by a lower incidence,resistance to conventional chemotherapy,widespread dissemination,a higher recurrence rate and unfavorable prognosis.At present,the standard first-line treatment regimens have not yet been developed for PTCLs.Though,there are many studies and trials about new drugs and novel intensive regimens,which improve the clinical curative effects and prognosis of PTCL patients significantly.In this paper,the progress of first-line treatment regimens of patients with different PTCL subtypes was reviewed.
7.Recent and long-term effection of cesarean section on newborn infants
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2015;(14):1114-1116
Although the cesarean section has become an effective means to solve dystocia,high - risk pregnan-cy and other critical obstetrical disease,but the morbidity rate and hospitalization rate of newborn did not decreased obviously because of the continuous increasing of cesarean section rate. Contrary,in recent years,many domestic and foreign researches have found that,compared with normal vaginal delivery babies,cesarean section newborn infants have higher related disease incidence rate after birth,especially respiratory distress sydrome,transient tachypnea of newborn infants,persistent pulmonary hypertension and infection,and more attention should be paid to the fact that cesarean section children are more prone to allergic and immune system diseases as well as neuropsychiatric related diseases. Therefore,this article aims at integrating the researches and providing an overview on recent and long - term effection on newborn infants.

10.Research advances in detection and clinical significance of circulating HPV DNA in patients with cervical cancer
China Oncology 2001;0(02):-
Recently,much interest has been focused on the clinical application and biology of tumor-derived DNA in the plasma/serum of cancer patients.Such interest has resulted in the demonstration of human papillomavirus(HPV) DNA in the plasma/serum of patients with cervical cancer(CC).The studies used different materials(plasma /serum),different DNA extraction methods and different primers to detect circulating free HPV DNA,so the positive rates varied from(6.9%) to 50%.The HPV DNA in the plasma/serum of patients suffering from CC most likely originates from the tumor itself,which will probably provide us with a new tool for CC monitoring after primary treatment,especially in patients in advanced stages.It is expected that this promising molecular tumor marker would soon be put into routine clinical use.
