1.Research on optimization of lower limb parameters of cardiopulmonary resuscitation simulation model based on genetic algorithm.
Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2014;31(5):1139-1143
Sudden cardiac arrest is one of the critical clinical syndromes in emergency situations. A cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a necessary curing means for those patients with sudden cardiac arrest. In order to simulate effectively the hemodynamic effects of human under AEI-CPR, which is active compression-decompression CPR coupled with enhanced external counter-pulsation and inspiratory impedance threshold valve, and research physiological parameters of each part of lower limbs in more detail, a CPR simulation model established by Babbs was refined. The part of lower limbs was divided into iliac, thigh and calf, which had 15 physiological parameters. Then, these 15 physiological parameters based on genetic algorithm were optimized, and ideal simulation results were obtained finally.

2.Research on neuroprotective effects of mesenchymaI stem ceIIs in retinaI disease
International Eye Science 2015;(3):464-466
· Mesenchymal stem cells ( MSCs ) are a population of multipotent stem cells with various neurotrophins from bone marrow which are widely used in tissue, cell repair and alternative research.Recently, some researches have shown that MSCs could enhance the viability of neurons under a pathological circumstance by secreting some neurotrophins. So the neuroprotection of MSCs can provide a new method of the treatment on retinopathy that it possible to promote cells survial and functional recovery.Here we make a brief review on the secretory function of neurotrophin and neuroprotective effects of MSCs on retinal cells and its application in the treatment of retinal disease.

7.Influence of follow-up by telephone on adherence and quality of life for breast cancer patients with hormonal therapy
Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2015;31(15):1134-1137
Objective To explore the influence of follow-up by telephone on adherence and quality of life for breast cancer patients with hormonal therapy.Methods Totally 78 breast cancer patients with hormonal therapy were divided into the intervention group (40 cases) and the control group (38 cases).The control group were carried on routine guidance treatment and enjoined regular subsequent visit.The patients in intervention group were carried on the above-mentioned treatment and also receive regular follow-up by telephone.Through the follow-up by telephone we provided guidance for present and will present problems.Adherence for breast cancer patients with hormonal therapy and cancer rehabilitation evaluation system-short form(CARES-SF) were used to investigate the patients' adherence and quality of life six month after the intervention.Then we compared the adherence and quality of life before,six month of the intervention.The changes of adherence and quality of life scores were analyzed by repeated-measure ANOVA.Results The score of quality of life in the intervention group after 6 month of intervention was (25.43 ± 6.04),while in the control group was (40.61 ± 7.73),the difference was significant between the two groups,P<0.05.The score of medication adherence in the intervention group after 6 month of intervention was (8.57 ± 6.20),while in the control group was (14.12 ± 6.63),the difference was significant between the two groups,P<0.05.Conclusion Follow-up by telephone can improve adherence and quality of life for breast cancer patients with hormonal therapy.
8.Perioperative treatment strategy for colorectal liver metastases
Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2015;14(6):445-448
Liver metastasis is the leading cause of death from colorectal cancer.Surgical treatment is so far the best choice for the treatment of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM).However,how to suitably select an individualized chemotherapy in perioperative period and surgical time and tool is still under controversy.Therefore,the key factors of improving the prognosis of patients with CRLM include overall evaluation of the patients and their preoperative examination outcomes,dividing patients into different groups based on different therapeutic goals,understanding different therapeutic goals of each group,selecting suitable chemotherapy and targeted therapy,ensuring surgical time (synchronous or stepwise resection) and tools (minimally invasive or open surgery) through multidisciplinary team model.
9.Risk factors for surgical site infection in 630 patients with breast cancer
Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2014;37(17):23-25
Objective To investigate the risk factors associated with surgical site infection (SSI) in patients with breast cancer,and provide the basis for preventing SSI.Methods Case-control study was used to investigate the clinical data of 630 patients of breast cancer retrospectively by single factor and multiple factors regressive analysis.Results The incidence rate of SSI was 3.65% (23/630),the main pathogenic bacteria was staphylococcus aureus (14/20),single factor regressive analysis showed that granulocytopenia associated with chemotherapy,diabetes mellitus,time of drainage were the risk factors of SSI (P < 0.05).Multiple factors regressive analysis showed that granulocytopenia associated with chemotherapy,time of drainage were the independent risk factors of SSI (P < 0.05).Conclusion Granulocytopenia associated with chemotherapy,time of drainage are the independent risk factors of SSI and comprehensive preventive measures should be taken to control the incidence rate of SSI.
10.Analysis of long-term effect of platinum alone chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy for esophageal carcinoma without operation
Cancer Research and Clinic 2014;26(5):339-341
Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effects of platinum alone chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy for esophageal carcinoma without operation.Methods Form April 2008 to February 2010,47 initial treatment patients with esophageal carcinoma were treated by platinum alone chemotherapy (cisplatin or nedaplatin 20 mg/m2,one times per weeks) and conventional fractionated radiation therapy (200 cGy per fraction,2 times per day,5 days per week,to a total dose of 6 000-7 000 cGy).Results 1-,2-,3-,4-year overall survival rates were 63.83 % (30/47),40.43 % (19/47),38.30 % (18/47),30.77 % (4/13).4-year survival rate of 13 cases with lymph node metastasis was 0,it was lower than that of cases without lymph node metastasis (40 %,4/10),the difference was statistically significant (x2 =6.295,P =0.012).The 3-year survival rates in cisplatin or nedaplatin combined with radiotherapy group were 31.25 % (5/16) and 41.94 % (13/31),the difference was not statistically significant (x2 =0.510,P =0.475).Conclusion Low doses of platinum alone chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy for the treatment of esophageal cancer are safe,but long-term efficacy needs to be confirmed in larger clinical trials.
