3.Progress of cathepsin D in cancer
International Journal of Surgery 2012;39(3):192-196
Tumor cell invasion and metastasis are associated with the proteolytic activity of various types of proteinases.Among them,cathepsin D,which is a lysosomal proteinase,has received more attention recently.Various studies have shown that the lysosomal aspartic protease cathepsin D is over-expressed and hyper-secreted by numerous cancer cell lines.Indeed it plays an essential role in the multiple steps of tumor progression,in stimulating cancer cell proliferation,tumor invasion and metastasis,fibroblast outgrowth and angiogenesis,as well as in inhibiting tumor apoptosis.In addition,CD is also a key mediator of induced- apoptosis.The aim of this article is to review the current knowledge on Cathepsin D action in cancer progression and metastasis,as well as its dual function in apoptosis.
4.Glutamate transporter-1 and cerebral ischemia
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2013;21(12):942-946
Glutamate is an essential excitatory neurotransmitter which regulates brain functions.An increase in extracellular glutamate could excessively activate ionotropic glutamate receptors,initiate calcium overload,and lead to cell death after cerebral ischemia.Glutamate transporter-1 (GLT-1) is one of the major glutamate transporters expressed predominantly in astrocytes.Astrocytes also express the enzyme glutamine synthetase (GS) which converts the glutamate to glutamine; the latter is then 'recycled' into neurons.Pretreatment with ceftriaxone (CEF),ischemia and intermittent hypobaric hypoxia could lead to neuroprotection by increasing the expression of GLT-1 and regulating the activity of glutamate transporter in brain.
5.Practice and exploration of emergency clinical training for medical students
Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2012;11(4):394-396
Objective To compare the results of emergency clinical training for medical students and to put forward some suggestions.Methods Toatlly 207 medical students of Grade 4 studied in the first people' s hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong university from 2009 to 2011 were divided into the traditional group (n =90 ) and the experimental group (n =117 ).The students in the experimental group participated in emergency clinical training in summer vacation while those in the traditional group did not.Questionnaires about their self-learning ability,clinical communicating ability and critical thinking ability after training the were conducted and the data were analyzed by descriptive statistical analysis.Results One hundred and five effective questionnaires were recovered from the experimental group,with the recovery rate 89.7% and 62 effective questionnaires were recovered from the traditional group,with the recovery rate 68.9%.The scores about clinical communicating ability and critical thinking ability of the experimental group were significantly highcr than those of the traditional group [ (79.45 ± 9.354)vs.(75.87 ± 9.926),(263.38 ± 30.925 ) vs.(251.36 ± 23.679),P < 0.05 ].However,there was no significant difference in scores about self-learning ability between the two groups [ ( 153.97 ± 23.725 ) vs.( 149.83 ± 13.891 ),P > 0.05].Conclusion Emergency clinical training is helpful to improve medical students' clinical communicating ability and critical thinking ability.It is worth popularizing.
6.INFLUENCE OF LYCOBETAINE ON THE CELL CYCLE & MITOSIS IN MOUSE EHRLICH CARCINOMA CELLS
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 1987;0(02):-
Lycobetaine ( AT-1840 ) is an effective antitumor substance. In the present work it was demonstrated that in a dose of 40 pig/kg AT-1840 could decrease the percentage of G, cells, meanwhile it increased G2 + M cells remarkably by means of flow fluocytometry method, AT-1840 could also inhibit the progression of cells from G2 to G1 phase. 8 to 72 h after, the injection the mitotic index was decreased significantly and recovered gradually in 6 d. It could inhibit the prophase and metaphase greatly, but had no marked influence on anaphase & telophase.
7.The Chinese Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale:An Examination of Its Reliability and Validity
Chinese Journal of Clinical Psychology 2006;0(06):-
Objective: To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of Frost's Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale(FMPS).Methods: One thousand two hundred and eighty Chinese undergraduate students participated in the study and responded to the FMPS and instruments measuring psychological distresses such as anxiety,depression,and obsession-compulsion.Both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to examine the factor structure of the Chinese FMPS.The association between FMPS and psychological distresses was analyzed as an investigation for criterion validity.Results: Factor analyses extracted five of the original six factors of FMPS.PC did not emerge as a dimension.The five subscales were shown to have satisfactory internal consistencies with Cronbach's alpha between 0.64 and 0.81 and test-retest reliability 0.63~0.82.Chinese FMPS was associated with anxiety,depression,and obsession-compulsion.Particularly,CM and DA are correlated with these psychological distresses with coefficients between 0.30 and 0.70.Conclusion: Chinese FMPS is satisfactorily valid and reliable.It is suitable to use in Chinese college students.

China Pharmacy 2016;27(18):2521-2523
OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy and safety of azithromycin sequential therapy in the treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia in children. METHODS:67 children with mycoplasma pneumonia were randomly divided into control group(34 cases) and observation group (33 cases). All children received conventional treatment,such as fever,cough,supplemented by nutrition support;based on it,control group received 10 mg/kg Azithromycin for injection,adding into 5% Glucose injection by intrave-nous drip in 200 ml,once a day;observation group received azithromycin(the same dosage with control group)after intravenous drip 5 d,switched to 10 mg/(kg·d)Azithromycin dry suspension,orally,then stopped 4 d after continuous 3 d. The treatment course was 7-10 d. Clinical efficacy,disappearance time of fever,cough and lung rales,and lung indexes before and after treat-ment,and the incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were observed. RESULTS:There were no significant differences in the to-tal effective rate,disappearance time of fever,cough and lung rales in 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,the lung function in-dexes were significantly higher than before,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.01),but there was no significant dif-ference between 2 groups (P>0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in observation group was significantly lower than control group,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Based on conventional treatment,azithromycin se-quential therapy shows similar efficacy to without sequential therapy in the treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia in children,but with better safety.
