Substantial evidence supports the relationship between chronic inflammation and cancer development. Numerous studies suggest that chronic inflammatory disease, such as periodontitis, contributes to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma development. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common malignant tumor in the oral and maxillofacial regions. Porphyromonas gingivalis, one of the most important pathogens in association with periodontal disease, might have a potential correlation with OSCC. Along with the development of molecular biological techniques, the association between Porphyromonas gingivalis and OSCC has been greatly emphasized in recent years. This review summarizes the association between these variables and the potential mechanisms involved in such relationship.

3.Make efforts to improve overall levels of clinical nutriology in China.
Chinese Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery 2012;15(5):426-428
Clinicians should assume the responsibility of nutritional therapy for satisfactory outcomes. They should master knowledge on nutritional metabolism, and participate in the administration of nutritional support. Clinicians should be acquainted with new concepts and standardized techniques in this field, such as different requirement of energy, understanding of early nutritional support, and optimal regimens of enteral or parenteral nutrition.

6.Awareness of knowledge about iron deficiency anemia in patients with it
Chinese Journal of General Practitioners 2010;9(5):317-319
Objective To investigate awareness of knowledge about iron deficiency anemia (IDA)in patients with it.Methods Patients diagnosed as IDA at their initial visits to Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University Medical School were randomly selected for the study during January 2008 to January 2009 with self-designed questionnaire to investigate their awareness of knowledge about IDA.Results Among 199 patients with IDA investigated, their awareness was lower in general, five percent about its etiologies, 34.2 percent about its clinical manifestations, 18.1 percent about its hazard to health, and two percent about food abundant of iron.For preventive measures of IDA, 50.7 percent (101/199) of them knew that daily diet should be diversified and 43.7 percent (87/199) knew that meals should be prepared with ferric cooking pot.Awareness of knowledge about other preventive measures of IDA was lower in them.No significant difference in awareness of IDA-related knowledge between them at varied ages was found, except for knowledge about etiology and hazard of IDA.Awareness of etiology of IDA differed between them at varied ages (P <0.05), and about 75.3 percent (64/85)of patients with IDA aged 30 -45 years were caused by chronic blood loss.There was no significant difference in awareness of IDA-related knowledge between patients with IDA caused by varied etiologies (P > 0.05).Conclusions In general, awareness of IDA-related knowledge was lower in patients with IDA.It is necessary to strengthen its popularization, with varied focuses in preventive measures for IDA patients with different etiologies.
7.Study on calmodulin-binding proteins in lympnocytes
Chinese Journal of Immunology 1985;0(05):-
Utilizing the ~(125)I-Calmodulin-overlay technique, we have detected calmodulin-binding proteins (CaMBPs) in crude extracts of lymphocytes. The results indicated that appendix (B cell), mesenteric lymph node (T, B cell) and spleen (T, B cell) from rabbit contained 19, 20 and 16 species of CaMBPs respectively. Ten CaMBPs with molecular weight 80, 78, 70, 63,50, 41, 36, 22, 17 and 13.5 K D were present in all lymphocytes detected. Lymphocytes were rich in two kind of CaMBPs with molecular weight 17 and 13.5 K D which bound calmodulin in partial calcium-dependent manner.
8.Role of SCN1A gene variations in the development of familial febrile seizures
Journal of Clinical Pediatrics 2017;35(2):133-137
Objective To determine the role of SCN1A gene variation in the development of familial febrile seizures (FS).Methods Clinical data were collected from 8 familial FS pedigrees, and peripheral venous blood samples were collected from the probands and other available family members. All 26 coding exons and exon-intron boundaries at least 50 bases of the human SCN1A gene were amplifled by polymerase chain reaction, the products were subsequently sequenced. To novo variation, other family members were screened for the corresponding exons. Two hundred age-matched healthy children were served as normal controls. ResultsA total of 33 variations in the SCN1A gene were identifled in these families. Of these variations, one was a missense mutation; the remaining 32 variations were previously submitted as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). A c.2650G>A heterozygous missense mutation in exon 15 of the SCN1A gene found in the proband of family 4 was inherited from his father who had seizures with fever in early childhood. The c.2650G>A mutation was absent in the 400 alleles of normal controls. To the best of our knowledge, the SCN1A c.2650G>A mutation has neither been reported in the NCBI SNP database nor in the literature to date. The c.2650G>A mutation changes a glycine at amino acid 884 in the SCN1A protein to a serine (p.Gly884Ser). Protein sequence analysis showed that the p.Gly884Ser is located at a highly conserved region between the 4th and 5th transmembrane segment of the homologous domain Ⅱ of voltage-gated sodium channel 1 subunit (DIIS4-S5). ConclusionsThe pathogenesis of familial febrile seizures was related to the SCN1A variation, the mutation outside the region of the voltage sensor (S4) and ion channel pore (S5-S6) of the voltage gated sodium channelα-subunit may be an important factor to cause mild phenotype epilepsy syndrome.
9.Analysis of dynamic change of the blood electrolyte in 343 cases with asphyixtal neonates
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2010;17(1):40-41
Objective To analyse the change of the blood serum electrolyte in asphyxial neonates.Methods To test the concentration of blood serum K~+、Na~+、Cl~-、Ca~(2+) in enzyme linked immunosorbhent assay.In 343 cases,there were 297 cases of slight asphyxial neonates and 46 eases of serious neonates.In control group,there were 41 cases.Results The concentration of blood serum K~+、C~l-、Ca~(2+) in asphyxial neonates were significamly less than control group(all P<0.01) and the concentration after birth 24h~48h were significantly less than within 24h(all P<0.01).The incidence of hyponatremia,hypochloremia and hypocalcemia after birth 24h~48h were significantly hisher than within 24h(all P<0.01),There were no significant differences in the concentration of blood serum K~+、Na~+、Cl~-、Ca~(2+) between the slight asphyxial group and the serious asphyxial group(P>0.05).Conclusions The concentration of blood serum K~+、Na~+、Cl~-、Ca~(2+) in asphyxial neonates gradually reduced after birth 48h and tbe incidence of electrolyte disturbance gradually increased.The change of blood electrolyte should be dynamically routinely monitored.
10.Treatment of iatrogenic injury in choledocho-pancreatico-duodenal junction
Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2009;8(3):174-175
The causes of iatrogenic injury in choledo-cho-pancreatico-duodenai junction include iatrogenic factors, anatomic factors and pathological factors. T-tube, methylthionine chloride and fiber choledochoscopy are useful methods for early diagnosis. Accurate exploration of the injury site and reasonable choice of management were significant in dealing with the iatrogenie injury and can lead to a satisfactory result. Choledo-chojejunostomy and Oddi sphincteroplasty are not recommended unless the patients had distal bile duet stricture or the stones can not be removed. Accurate detection of the injury site, evaluation of the severity, and proper choice of the surgical method are important for the prognosis of the patients.
