1.FURTHER STUDY ON HEPATITIS B VACCINATION STRATEGY
Journal of Xi'an Jiaotong University(Medical Sciences) 1982;0(04):-
With decision tree model, both net utility and cost-benefit were analysed to comprehensively assess hepatitis B vaccination strategy in China. The result showed that neonates shoulUbe taken as the most favourable vaccinated population, infants aged 0~3 years the next, and immediate vaccination scheme was recommended. Although vaccination would result in negative benefit in the population aged 7 and over, certain net utility was also gained, Therefore we suggest that the subjects to be vaccinated be extended in due course.
2.CXCL12/CXCR4 and breast cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2012;39(9):683-686
CXCL12 and its receptor CXCR4 can express in breast cancer,and are regulated by several factors in the genesis and development of breast cancer. Lots of researches have proved that CXCL12 and CXCR4 can be used as new independent prognostic makers of breast cancer.Treatment targeted for CXCR4 can be seen as a new kind of combination therapy,which may provides patients a more ideal treatment.
3.Extended application of routine ophthalmic technology in dry eye
Chinese Ophthalmic Research 2009;27(11):1050-1053
Dry eye is a most common external eye disease in clinic and it can cause ocular discomfort and visual disturbance. The conventional examinations for dry eye have some shortcomings, for example, high variability and insufficient association with symptoms. Recently, routine ophthalmic technologies play more extending roles in evaluation of dry eye, including corneal topography, wavefront aberrometer, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and confocal microscope. Corneal topography and wavefront aberrometer could be used to evaluate the stability of tear film and visual function. OCT could image tear meniscus directly, and confocal microscope could observe histopathology of ocular surface in vivo. The studies on ophthalmic technologies in dry eye make us deepen the understanding of pathophysiology of dry eye and also provide new diagnostic approaches.

Objective To investigate the effects of droperidol on the Na+ currents in rat dorsal root ganglion neurons.Methods The rat dorsal root ganglion neurons were enzymatically dissociated. Whole-cell patch-clamp technique was applied to record Na+ current. Results 3-300?mol?L-1 Droperidol inhibited the sodium currents by 14.12%-78.46% (P0.05, n =7).Conclusions Droperidol inhibits Na+ currents in rat dorsal root ganglion neurons in a concentration- and voltage-dependent manner. The results suggest that the concentration of epidural droperidol clinically applied during epidural patient control analgesia may enhance the analgesic effects.
5.Identification of a novel transcriptional factor HMGB34367 for activation of ?-smooth muscle actin gene in relation to pulmonary fibrosis
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2003;0(06):-
Objective: To demonstrate the influence of HMGB34367,a subfamily member of the high-mobility group protein B1(HMGB1),as a transcriptional factor of the ?-SMA gene expression.Methods: We cloned HMGB34367 cDNA from the fibrotic lung tissue of the Balb/C mouse treated with BLM by RT-PCR,sub-cloned it into a eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA 3.0 or pEGF-N2,and constructed a report plasmid,pDsRed-SMA,encoding red fluorescence(RFP) driven by ?-SMA promoter.Following the co-transfection of pDsRed-SMA and HMGB34367-pcDNA3.0/ pEGF-N2-HMGB34367 in the cultured 16HBE cells,we tested the expression of the RFP in the absence and presence of TGF?1 by fluorescence microscopy.After the transfection of HMGB34367-pcDNA3.0,the nucleus extracts from the transfected cells were subjected to electrophoretic mobility shift assay(EMSA) for the detection of the binding activity of HMGB34367 with ?-SMA promoter CarGB motif.RT-PCR was performed for the evaluation of the ?-SMA gene expression in the cells.Results: The over expression of HMGB34367 activated the ?-SMA promoter and enhances the expression of the ?-SMA gene.An increased binding activity of HMGB34367 with CarGB motif was detected by EMSA in the transfected cells.Conclusion:HMGB34367,a member of HMGB1 family,could act as a transcription factor for the transcriptional activation of the ?-SMA gene,which may play an important role in the development of lung fibrosis.

Objective:To investigate if injury-related myofibroblast induction could occur in bronchial epithelial cells and the role of TGF-?_1(rhTGF-?_1) in epithelial-myofibroblast transdifferentiation. Methods:Cultured bronchial epithelial cells, 16HBE-14o, were exposed to poly-L-arginine(PLA). Using a immunohistochemical method, ?-smooth muscle actin (?-SMA) expression was detected in those cells after being treated with PLA . Relative activity of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase(CAT) was assessed in 16HBE-14o cells, which were transiently transfected with VSMP8 plasmid containing ?-SMA promoter linked to CAT gene, at different time points after rhTGF-?_1(10 ?g/L) treatment. Results:①?-SMA positive, spindle-shaped cells emerged among the regenerated 16HBE-14o epithelial cells following damage. The number of ?-SMA positive 16HBE-14o cells increased and cell repair was delayed under rhTGF-?_1 stimulation.② CAT activity increased significantly in VSMP8 plasmid transfected 16HBE-14o cells 24 h after TGF-?_1 stimulation.

[Objective]To probe the probability of autologous platelet-rich glue(PRG) combined with particulate of cancellous bone in treating the aseptic tibial nonunion.[Method]Sixty patients with tibial nonunion in distal 1/3 fragment were randomly divided into 2 groups.Each group had thirty patients.PRG combined with particulate of autogenous cancellous bone was transplanted in the experimental group while particulate of cancellous bone was applied in the control group.The mean time to the operation was 10.5 months(7-36 months) and the average age were 38 years old.The postoperative systemic and local reaction,and X-ray finings of tibial nonunion were observed.The average follow-up was 22 months.According to the Johner-Wruh scoring system the results were statistically analyzed.[Result]At 8 months bony union was all achieved.There was a remarkable difference between those of experimental and control groups.[Conclusion]PRG had an important role in speeding bone healing,and the combination of PRG and particulate of autogenous cancellous bone is an ideal alternative of bone transplantation.
