| 1 | role of the normal gut microbiota显示文摘Relation between the gut microbiota and human health is being increasingly recognised. It is now well established that a healthy gut flora is largely responsible for overall health of the host. The normal human gut microbiota comprises of two major phyla, namely Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes. Though the gut microbiota in an infant appears haphazard, it starts resembling the adult flora by the age of 3 years. Nevertheless, there exist temporal and spatial variations in the microbial distribution from esophagus to the rectum all along the individual's life span. Developments in genome sequencing technologies and bioinformatics have now enabled scientists to study these microorganisms and their function and microbehost interactions in an elaborate manner both in health and disease. The normal gut microbiota imparts specific function in host nutrient metabolism, xenobiotic and drug metabolism, maintenance of structural integrity of the gut mucosal barrier, immunomodulation, and protection against pathogens. Several factors play a role in shaping the normal gut microbiota. They include(1) the mode of delivery(vaginal or caesarean);(2) diet during infancy(breast milk or formula feeds) and adulthood(vegan based or meat based); and(3) use of antibiotics or antibiotic like molecules that are derived from the environment or the gut commensal community. A major concern of antibiotic use is the long-term alteration of the normal healthy gut microbiota and horizontal transfer of resistance genes that could result in reservoir of organisms with a multidrug resistant gene pool. | Sai Manasa Jandhyala Rupjyoti Talukdar Chivkula Subramanyam Harish Vuyyuru Mitnala Sasikala D Nageshwar Reddy | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,29: | 187 |

| 3 | Oncofetal antigen glypican-3 as a promising early diagnostic marker for hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘BACKGROUND:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is characterized by a multi-cause,multi-stage and multi-focus process of tumor progression.Its prognosis is poor and early diagnosis is of utmost importance.This study was undertaken to investigate the dynamic expression of oncofetal antigen glypican-3 (GPC-3) and GPC-3 mRNA in hepatocarcinogenesis and to explore their early diagnostic value for HCC.METHODS:A hepatoma model was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats with 0.05% 2-fluorenylacetamide and confirmed by hematoxylin and eosin staining and gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) expression.Total RNA was purified and transcribed into cDNA by reverse transcription.Fragments of the GPC-3 gene were amplified by nested RT-PCR,and confirmed by sequencing.GPC-3 was analyzed by immunohistochemistry,Western blotting or ELISA.RESULTS:Positive GPC-3 expression showed as brown granule-like staining localized in the cytoplasm.Histological examination of hepatocytes revealed three morphological stages of granule-like degeneration,atypical hyperplasia (precancerous),and cancer formation,with a progressive increase of liver total RNA and GGT expression.The incidence of liver GPC-3 mRNA and GPC-3,and serum GPC-3 was 100%,100% and 77.8% in the HCC group,100%,100%,and 66.7% in the precancerous group,83.3%,83.3%,and 38.9% in the degeneration group,and no expression in the liver or blood of the control group,respectively.There was a positive correlation between liver GPC-3 mRNA and total RNA level (r=0.475,P<0.05) or liver GPC-3 (r=1.0,P<0.001) or serum GPC-3 (r= 0.994,P<0.001).CONCLUSION:Abnormal oncofetal antigen GPC-3 and GPC-3 mRNA expression in hepatocarcinogenesis may be promising molecular markers for early diagnosis of HCC. | Research Center of Clinical Medicine,Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University,Nantong 226001,China (Yao M,Yao DF,Qiu LW,Wu W,Sai WL,Yang JL and Zhang HJ) Department of Oncology,Yancheng First People’s Hospital,Yancheng 224001,China (Bian YZ) Department of Oncology,Second Affiliated Hospital,Nanjing Medical University,Nanjing 210011,China (Zhang CG) | 2011 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2011,10,3: | 51 |
| 4 | Delayed hepatocarcinogenesis through antiangiogenic intervention in the nuclear factor-kappa B activation pathway in rats显示文摘BACKGROUND:The active form of nuclear factor-kappa B(NF- κB)is involved in the initiation,generation,and development of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC),and is up-regulated in inflammation-associated malignancies.We investigated the dynamic expression of NF-κB and its influences on the occurrence of HCC through antiangiogenic(thalidomide) intervention in NF-κB activation. METHODS:Hepatoma models were induced with 2-fluorenyl- acetamide(2-FAA,0.05%)in male Sprague-Dawley rats,and thalidomide(100 mg/kg body weight)was administered intragastrically to intervene in NF-κB activation.The pathological changes in the liver of sacrificed rats were assessed after hematoxylin and eosin staining.NF-κB mRNA was amplified by RT-nested PCR.The alterations of NF-κB and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)expression were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,immunohistochemistry,and Western blotting. RESULTS:Rat hepatocytes showed denatured,precancerous,and cancerous stages in hepatocarcinogenesis,with an increasing tendency of hepatic NF-κB,NF-κB mRNA,and VEGF expression,and their values in the HCC group were higher than those in controls(P<0.001).In the thalidomide- treated group,the morphologic changes generated only punctiform denaturation and necrosis at the early or middle stages,and nodular hyperplasia or a little atypical hyperplasia at the final stages,with the expression of NF-κB (χ2=9.93,P<0.001)and VEGF(χ2=8.024,P<0.001)lower than that in the 2-FAA group. CONCLUSION:NF-κB is overexpressed in hepatocarcinogenesis and antiangiogenic treatment down-regulates the expression of NF-κB and VEGF,and delays the occurrence of HCC. | Dong, Zhi-Zhen Yao, Deng-Fu Wu, Wei Yao, Min Yu, Hong-Bo Shen, Jun-Jun Qiu, Li-Wei Yao, Ning-Hua Sai, Wen-Li Yang, Jun-Ling | 2010 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2010,9,2: | 31 |
| 5 | Engineering Broad-Spectrum Bacterial Blight Resistance by Simultaneously Disrupting Variable TALE-Binding Elements of Multiple Susceptibility Genes in Rice显示文摘Xanthomonas oryzae pv.oryzae(Xoo),the causal agent of bacterial blight of rice,employs the transcription activator-like effectors(TALEs)to induce the expression of the OsSWEET family of putative sugar transporter genes,which function in conferring disease susceptibility(S)in rice plants.To engineer broadspectrum bacterial blight resistance,we used CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing to disrupt the TALEbinding elements(EBEs)of two S genes,OsSWEETH and OsSWEET14,in rice cv.Kitaake,which harbors the recessive resistance allele of Xa25/OsSWEET13.The engineered rice line MS14K exhibited broadspectrum resistance to most Xoo strains with a few exceptions,suggesting that the compatible strains may contain new TALEs.We identified two PthXo2-like TALEs,Tal5LN18 and Tal7PX061,as major virulence factors in the compatible Xoo strains LN18 and PX061,respectively,and found that Xoo encodes at least five types of PthXo2-like effectors.Given that PthXo2/PthXo2.1 target OsSlVEETf3 for transcriptional activation,the genomes of 3000 rice varieties were analyzed for EBE variationsin the OsSWEET13 promoter,and 10Xa25-like haplotypes were identified.We found that Tal5LN18 and Tal7PX〇6i bind slightly different EBE sequences in the OsSWEET13 promoter to activate its expression.CRISPR/Cas9 technology was then used to generate InDels in the EBE of the OsSWEET13 promoter in MS14K to creat a new germplasm with three edited OsSWEET EBEs and broad-spectrum resistance against all Xoo strains tested.Collectively,our findings illustrate how to disarm TALE-S co-evolved loci to generate broad-spectrum resistance through the loss of effector-triggered susceptibility in plants. | Zhengyin Xu Xiameng Xu Qiang Gong Ziyang Li Ying Li Sai Wang Yangyang Yang Wenxiu Ma Longyu Liu Bo Zhu Lifang Zou Gongyou Chen | 2019 | Molecular Plant2019,12,11: | 29 |
| 6 | Quantitative analysis of hepatic hypoxia-inducible factor-1α and its abnormal gene expression during the formation of hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘BACKGROUND:Hepatic hypoxia-inducible factor-1(HIF-1) is activated in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).This study aimed to investigate the dynamic alterations of HIF-1αand its gene expression so as to explore the relationship between HIF-1αexpression and hepatocarcinogenesis at the early stage of HCC. METHODS:A hepatoma model was made with 2-fluorenyl- acetamide(2-FAA)in male Sprague-Dawley rats.Morphological changes of rat hepatocytes were assessed pathologically (HE staining).The dynamic expression of hepatic and circulating HIF-1αwas quantitatively analyzed by ELISA. The gene fragments of hepatic HIF-1αmRNA were amplified by RT-PCR and confirmed by sequencing.The cellular distribution of hepatic HIF-1αexpression was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS:Histological examination confirmed granulelike degeneration to atypical hyperplasia and HCC development in rat hepatocytes and progressive increases in the levels of hepatic and circulating HIF-1αand its gene expression during the course.The levels of HIF-1α expression in the liver and blood of rats with hepatoma were significantly higher than those in normal ratsand those with degeneration.Immunohistochemical analysis confirmed the positive expression and hepatocyte distribution of HIF-1αin the development of rat hepatoma. A positive relationship was found between HIF-1α expression in the liver and blood(P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:The above observations support the hypothesis that the overexpression of HIF-1αand its gene are closely associated with the malignant transformation of hepatocytes and play an important role at the stage of hepatocarcinogenesis. | Deng-Fu Yao,Hua Jiang,Min Yao,Yue-Ming Li,Wen-Jing Gu,Yu-Cheng Shen, Li-Wei Qiu,Wei Wu,Xin-Hua Wu and Wen-Li Sai Research Center of Clinical Molecular Biology,Department of Laboratory Science,and Department of Oncology,Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University,Nantong 226001, China Third Department of Medicine,Jiaonan People’s Hospital,Jiaonan 266400,China | 2009 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2009,8,4: | 28 |
| 7 | The role of Epstein-Barr virus infection in the pathogenesis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma显示文摘Nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) is closely associated with Epstein-Barr virus(EBV) infection. EBV episomes are detected in almost all NPC cells. The role of EBV in NPC pathogenesis has long been postulated but remains enigmatic. In contrast to infection of B lymphocytes, EBV infection does not directly transform nasopharyngeal epithelial cells into proliferative clones with malignant potential. EBV infection of normal pharyngeal epithelial cells is predominantly lytic in nature. Genetic alterations in premalignant nasopharyngeal epithelium, in combination with inflammatory stimulation in the nasopharyngeal mucosa, presumably play essential roles in the establishment of a latent EBV infection in infected nasopharyngeal epithelial cells during the early development of NPC. Establishment of latent EBV infection in premalignant nasopharyngeal epithelial cells and expression of latent viral genes, including the BART transcripts and BART-encoded micro RNAs, are crucial features of NPC. Expression of EBV genes may drive further malignant transformation of premalignant nasopharyngeal epithelial cells into cancer cells. The difficulties involved in the establishment of NPC cell lines and the progressive loss of EBV epsiomes in NPC cells propagated in culture strongly implicate the contribution of host stromal components to the growth of NPC cells in vivo and maintenance of EBV in infected NPC cells. Defining the growth advantages of EBV-infected NPC cells in vivo will lead to a better understanding of the contribution of EBV infection in NPC pathogenesis, and may lead to the identification of novel therapeutic targets for NPC treatment. | Chi Man Tsang Sai Wah Tsao | 2015 | Virologica Sinica2015,30,2: | 26 |

| 9 | Simultaneous Determination of Melamine, Ammelide, Ammeline, and Cyanuric Acid in Milk and Milk Products by Gas Chromatography-tandem Mass Spectrometry显示文摘Objective To develop an analytical method for simultaneously qualitative and quantitative determination of melamine and triazine-related by-products including ammelide, ammeline, and cyanuric acid in milk and milk products by gas chromatography- tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). Methods Melamine and triazine-related by-products namely ammelide, ammeline and cyanuric acid in the samples were extracted in a solvent mixture of diethylamine, water, and acetonitrile (10:40:50, V/V/V). After centrifugation, an aliquot of the supernatant was evaporated to dryness under a gentle stream of nitrogen gas, and then melamine and triazine-related by-products were derivatized using BSTFA with 1% TMCS. The derivatives of melamine and its analogues were determined by gas chromatography/ tandem mass spectrometry using multiple reactional monitoring (MRM) with 2, 6-Diamino-4-chloropyrimidine (DACP) being used as an internal standard. Results The linear detectable ranges were from 0.004 mg/kg to 1.6 mg/kg for melamine, ammelide, ammeline, and cyanuric acid with a correlation coefficient no less than 0.999. The recovery rates of the four compounds in spiked blank milk powder at concentrations 0.5, 1, 2 mg/kg were between 61.4%-117.2%, and the relative standard deviation was no more than 11.5% (n=6). The detection limits of melamine, ammelide, ammeline and cyanuric acid in milk powder were 0.002 mg/kg with a ratio of signal to noise of 3. Conclusion This GC-MS/MS method for simultaneous determination of melamine, ammelide, ammeline, and cyanuric acid in milk and milk products is sensitive and specific. | HONG MIAO SAI FAN YONG-NING WU LEI ZHANG PING-PING ZHOU JING-GUANG LI HUI-JING CHEN AND YUN-FENG ZHAO | 2009 | Biomedical and Environmental Sciences2009,22,2: | 21 |

| 12 | Essential oil and aromatic plants as feed additives in non-ruminant nutrition:a review显示文摘This paper summarizes the current knowledge regarding the possible modes of action and nutritional factors involved in the use of essential oils(EOs) for swine and poultry.EOs have recently attracted increased interest as feed additives to be fed to swine and poultry,possibly replacing the use of antibiotic growth promoters which have been prohibited in the European Union since 2006.In general,EOs enhance the production of digestive secretions and nutrient absorption,reduce pathogenic stress in the gut,exert antioxidant properties and reinforce the animal's immune status,which help to explain the enhanced performance observed in swine and poultry.However,the mechanisms involved in causing this growth promotion are far from being elucidated,since data on the complex gut ecosystem,gut function,in vivo oxidative status and immune system are still lacking.In addition,limited information is available regarding the interaction between EOs and feed ingredients or other feed additives(especially pro- or prebiotics and organic acids).This knowledge may help feed formulators to better utilize EOs when they formulate diets for poultry and swine. | Zhikai Zeng Sai Zhang Hongliang Wang Xiangshu Piao | 2016 | Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology2016,7,1: | 19 |
| 13 | Values of circulating GPC-3 mRNA and alpha-fetoprotein in detecting patients with hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘BACKGROUND: The prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is poor and its early diagnosis is of the utmost importance. This study aimed to investigate the values of glypican-3 (GPC-3) expression in the liver and sera and its gene transcription for diagnosis and monitoring of metastasis of HCC. METHODS: Liver GPC-3 was analyzed in HCC tissues from 36 patients by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. GPC-3 mRNA from circulating peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 123 HCC patients or 246 patients with other diseases or 36 HCC tissues was amplified by RT-PCR, quantitative realtime PCR, and confirmed by DNA sequencing. Circulating GPC-3 level was detected by ELISA. RESULTS: The increasing expression of GPC-3 was observed from non-cancerous to cancerous tissues, with brown granule-like staining localized in tumor parts of atypical hyperplasia and HCC formation. The positive rate of GPC-3 was 80.6% in HCC, 41.7% in their paracancerous tissues, and none in distal cancerous tissues (P<0.001), with no significant difference in differentiation grade and tumor number except for size (Z=2.941, P=0.003). Serum GPC-3 was detected only in HCC (52.8%) and significant difference was found between GPC-3 and tumor size (χ2 =6.318, P=0.012) or HBV infection (χ2 =23.362, P<0.001). Circulating GPC-3 mRNA was detected in 70.7% of HCC tissues, with relation to TNM stage, periportal cancerous embolus, and extra-hepatic metastasis (P<0.001). The combination ofcirculating GPC-3, GPC-3 mRNA and alpha-fetoprotein is of complementary value for HCC diagnosis (94.3%). CONCLUSION: Both GPC-3 overexpression and GPC-3 mRNA abnormality could be used as markers for the diagnosis of HCC and monitoring its metastasis. | Min Yao Deng-Fu Yao Yin-Zhu Bian Wei Wu Xiao-Di Yan Dan-Dan Yu Li-Wei Qiu Jun-Ling Yang Hai-Jian Zhang Wen-Li Sai Jie Chen | 2013 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2013,12,2: | 18 |
| 14 | One-year clinical study of NeuroR egen scaffold implantation following scar resection in complete chronic spinal cord injury patients显示文摘The objective of this clinical study was to assess the safety and feasibility of the collagen scaffold, Neuro Regen scaffold, one year after scar tissue resection and implantation. Scar tissue is a physical and chemical barrier that prevents neural regeneration. However, identification of scar tissue is still a major challenge. In this study, the nerve electrophysiology method was used to distinguish scar tissue from normal neural tissue, and then different lengths of scars ranging from 0.5–4.5 cm were surgically resected in five complete chronic spinal cord injury(SCI) patients. The NeuroR egen scaffold along with autologous bone marrow mononuclear cells(BMMCs), which have been proven to promote neural regeneration and SCI recovery in animal models, were transplanted into the gap in the spinal cord following scar tissue resection. No obvious adverse effects related to scar resection or Neuro Regen scaffold transplantation were observed immediately after surgery or at the 12-month follow-up. In addition, patients showed partially autonomic nervous function improvement, and the recovery of somatosensory evoked potentials(SSEP) from the lower limbs was also detected. The results indicate that scar resection and Neuro Regen scaffold transplantation could be a promising clinical approach to treating SCI. | Zhifeng Xiao Fengwu Tang Jiaguang Tang Huilin Yang Yannan Zhao Bing Chen Sufang Han Nuo Wang Xing Li Shixiang Cheng Guang Han Changyu Zhao Xiaoxiong Yang Yumei Chen Qin Shi Shuxun Hou Sai Zhang Jianwu Dai | 2016 | Science China(Life Sciences)2016,59,7: | 18 |
| 15 | Comprehensive Utilization of Paigeite Ore Using Iron Nugget Making Process显示文摘The feasibility of paigeite ore treatment with iron nugget making process is proved.The isothermal reduction experiments at laboratory scale were carried out,using carbon bearing pellets which were made of boron containing iron concentrate and pulverized coal mainly,from 1 623 to 1 723 K with different heating time.The results indicated that iron nugget making process depends mainly on heating time and temperature.And the iron nugget and slag can separate in a clean manner at 1 673 K for 15 min.For the iron nugget,the C content is 3.57%(mass percent) and B is 0.065%(mass percent).The B2O3 content of slag is 20.01%,and the boron was concentrated into one phase which is identified as suanite(Mg2B3O5) during the solidification.With an extraction ratio of 80% under the atmospheric conditions,the activity of boron in slag is good.The boron-rich slag can be used to extract boric or boric acid and alleviate the shortage of boron resource.Through series of calculation and analysis related,it can be concluded that the recovery ratio of Fe and boron are about 98% and 97% respectively.The results show that this method is feasible and effective on the utilization of paigeite ore. | DING Yin-gui WANG Jing-song WANG Guang MA Sai XUE Qing-guo | 2012 | Journal of Iron and Steel Research(International)2012,19,6: | 17 |
| 16 | Neuroprotective effects of bloodletting at Jing points combined with mild induced hypothermia in acute severe traumatic brain injury显示文摘Bloodletting at Jing points has been used to treat coma in traditional Chinese medicine. Mild induced hypothermia has also been shown to have neuroprotective effects. However, the therapeutic effects of bloodletting at Jing points and mild induced hypothermia alone are limited. Therefore, we investigated whether combined treatment might have clinical effectiveness for the treatment of acute severe traumatic brain injury. Using a rat model of traumatic brain injury, combined treatment substantially alleviated cerebral edema and bloodbrain barrier dysfunction. Furthermore, neurological function was ameliorated, and cellular necrosis and the inflammatory response were lessened. These findings suggest that the combined effects of bloodletting at Jing points(20 μL, twice a day, for 2 days) and mild induced hypothermia(6 hours) are better than their individual effects alone. Their combined application may have marked neuroprotective effects in the clinical treatment of acute severe traumatic brain injury. | Yue Tu Xiao-mei Miao Tai-long Yi Xu-yi Chen Hong-tao Sun Shi-xiang Cheng Sai Zhang | 2016 | Neural Regeneration Research2016,11,6: | 17 |
| 17 | PM_(2.5)-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) in Beijing:Seasonal variations,sources,and risk assessment显示文摘Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) have been of health concern due to its carcinogenesis and mutagenesis. In this study, we aimed to assess the variations, sources, and lifetime excessive cancer risk(ECR) attributable to PAHs bound to ambient particulate matters with aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 μm(PM_(2.5)) in metropolitan Beijing, China. We collected24-hour integrated PM_(2.5) samples on daily basis between November 2014 and June 2015 across both central heating(cold months) and non-heating(warm months) seasons, and further analyzed the PAH components in these daily PM_(2.5) samples. Our results showed that total concentrations of PM_(2.5)-bound PAHs varied between(88.6 ± 75.4) ng/m^3 in the cold months and(11.0 ± 5.9) ng/m^3 in the warm months. Benzo[a]pyrene(Ba P), the carcinogenic marker of PAHs,averaged at 5.7 and 0.4 ng/m^3 in the cold and warm months, respectively. Source apportionment analyses illustrated that gasoline, biomass burning, diesel, coal combustion and cooking were the major contributors, accounting for 12.9%, 17.8%, 24.7%, 24.3% and 6.4% of PM_(2.5)-bound PAHs, respectively. The BaP equivalent lifetime ECR from inhalation of PM_(2.5)-bound PAHs was 16.2 cases per million habitants. Our results suggested that ambient particulate reduction from energy reconstruction and adaption of clean fuels would result in reductions PM_(2.5)-bound PAHs and its associated cancer risks. However, as only particulate phased PAHs was analyzed in the present study, the concentration of ambient PAHs could be underestimated. | Baihuan Feng Lijuan Li Hongbing Xu Tong Wang Rongshan Wu Jie Chen Yi Zhang Shuo Liu Steven Sai Hang Ho Junji Cao Wei Huang | 2019 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2019,31,3: | 17 |
| 18 | 合并糖代谢异常的冠心病患者血浆脂联素水平变化及其临床意义显示文摘目的:检测脂联素(adiponectin,ADPN)在合并糖代谢异常的冠心病患者血浆中浓度的变化,探讨其临床意义。方法:收集2009年8月至2010年4月在湘雅医院心内科经冠状动脉造影(coronary angiography,CAG)检查证实为冠心病的患者87名,根据糖代谢情况分为单纯冠心病组(coronary heart disease group,CHD组,n=31)、冠心病合并糖耐量异常组(CHD combine with impaired glucose tolerance group,CHD+IGT组,n=28)和冠心病合并糖尿病组(CHDcombine with diabetes mellitus group,CHD+DM组,n=28),另选健康体检者31例为正常对照组(normal control group,NC组)。采用酶联免疫吸附法检测血浆ADPN水平;为所有受试对象测身高、体质量、腰围、血压;测空腹血糖、胰岛素、血脂、高敏C反应蛋白(high-sensitivity C-reactive protein,hs-CRP)、游离脂肪酸(free fatty acid,FFA)和肝、肾功能等,计算体质量指数(body mass index,BMI)和胰岛素抵抗指数(homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance,HOMA-IR)。结果:1)CHD组、CHD+IGT组、CHD+DM组患者血浆ADPN水平均低于NC组(P<0.05);2)与CHD组相比,CHD+DM组ADPN水平最低,CHD+IGT组次之,各组间差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);3)ADPN与HDL-C呈正相关(r=0.483,P<0.01),与hs-CRP和冠脉Gensini积分呈负相关(r=–0.489,P<0.05;r=–0.252,P<0.05)。结论:冠心病患者血浆ADPN浓度降低;合并糖代谢异常的冠心病患者血浆ADPN浓度更低,且随着糖代谢异常程度加重降低更显著;冠心病与糖代谢异常是影响血浆ADPN浓度改变的两个重要因素,血浆ADPN水平显著降低反映了上述两种疾病状态的叠加作用。ADPN联合HDL-C,hs-CRP,Gensini积分等血清学指标可为判断合并糖代谢异常的冠心病患者的疾病严重程度提供一定参考。 | 夏珂 郭兰燕 赵震宇 Ali Sheikh Md Sayed 李非 杨天伦 | 2012 | 中南大学学报(医学版)2012,37,2: | 17 |
| 19 | Review of collapse triggering mechanism of collapsible soils due towetting显示文摘Loess soil deposits are widely distributed in arid and semi-arid regions and constitute about 10% of land area of the world.These soils typically have a loose honeycomb-type meta-stable structure that is susceptible to a large reduction in total volume or collapse upon wetting.Collapse characteristics contribute to various problems to infrastructures that are constructed on loess soils.For this reason,collapse triggering mechanism for loess soils has been of significant interest for researchers and practitioners all over the world.This paper aims at providing a state-of-the-art review on collapse mechanism with special reference to loess soil deposits.The collapse mechanism studies are summarized under three different categories,i.e.traditional approaches,microstructure approach,and soil mechanics-based approaches.The traditional and microstructure approaches for interpreting the collapse behavior are comprehensively summarized and critically reviewed based on the experimental results from the literature.The soil mechanics-based approaches proposed based on the experimental results of both compacted soils and natural loess soils are reviewed highlighting their strengths and limitations for estimating the collapse behavior.Simpler soil mechanics-based approaches with less parameters or parameters that are easy-to-determine from conventional tests are suggested for future research to better understand the collapse behavior of natural loess soils.Such studies would be more valuable for use in conventional geotechnical engineering practice applications. | Ping Li Sai Vanapalli Tonglu Li | 2016 | Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering2016,8,2: | 15 |
| 20 | Evaluation of the updated definition of early allograft dysfunction in donation after brain death and donation after cardiac death liver allografts显示文摘BACKGROUND:An updated definition of early allograft dysfunction(EAD) was recently validated in a multicenter study of 300 deceased donor liver transplant recipients.This analysis did not differentiate between donation after brain death(DBD) and donation after cardiac death(DCD) allograft recipients.METHODS:We reviewed our prospectively entered database for all DBD(n=377) and DCD(n=38) liver transplantations between January 1,2006 and October 30,2011.The incidence of EAD as well as its ability to predict graft failure and survival was compared between DBD and DCD groups.RESULTS:EAD was a valid predictor of both graft and patient survival at six months in DBD allograft recipients,but in DCD allograft recipients there was no significant difference in the rate of graft failure in those with EAD(11.5%) compared with those without EAD(16.7%)(P=0.664) or in the rate of death in recipients with EAD(3.8%) compared with those without EAD(8.3%)(P=0.565).The graft failure rate in the first 6 months in those with international normalized ratio ≥1.6 on day 7 who received a DCD allograft was 37.5% compared with 6.7% for those with international normalized ratio <1.6 on day 7(P=0.022).CONCLUSIONS:The recently validated definition of EAD is a valid predictor of patient and graft survival in recipients of DBD allografts.On initial assessment,it does not appear to be a useful predictor of patient and graft survival in recipients of DCD allografts,however a study with a larger sample size of DCD allografts is needed to confirm these findings.The high ALT/AST levels in most recipients of DCD livers as well as the predisposition to biliary complications and early cholestasis make these parameters as poor predictors of graft failure.An alternative definition of EAD that gives greater weight to the INR on day 7 may be more relevant in this population. | Kris P Croome William Wall Douglas Quan Sai Vangala Vivian McAlister Paul Marotta Roberto Hernandez-Alejandro | 2012 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2012,11,4: | 15 |
