SUMOylation is an important post-translational modification of proteins. Similar to ubiquitylation, SUMOylation is the process that the small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) proteins are specifically and covalently binding to lysine residues of substrate proteins. Through SUMOylation, the physiological functions and pathological processes of cells are well controlled and balanced, and its abnormal activation has been reported in various tumors. Therefore, SUMOylation has been a potential target for anti-tumor drug development. In this review, we summarize recent advances on development of inhibitors targeting SUMOylation pathway and their antitumor properties.

Objective:To analyze clinical characteristics, treatment, and prognosis of B-cell lymphoma, unclassifiable, with features in-termediate between diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and Burkitt lymphoma (DLBCL/BL). Methods:The clinical and pathological data of 13 DLBCL/BL patients, who were treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University between January 2013 and December 2014, were collected. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Through the log-rank test, survival curves were compared among groups classified by clinical stage, age, serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) lev-el, international prognostic index (IPI) score, or first chemotherapy regimen. Results:Among the 13 patients with DLBCL/BL, 12 pa-tients showed extra-nodal involvement. The median OS and PFS were only 10 and 6 months, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that the LDH levels and IPI scores exerted statistically significant effects on prognosis. Some borderline differences in survival were not-ed among the CHOP, CHOP-like, and intensive chemotherapy groups. Conclusion:DLBCL/BL is an aggressive B-cell lymphoma with a short survival time. The majority of patients presented extra-nodal involvement. DLBCL/BL did not respond well to CHOP or CHOP-like regimen, and more intensive chemotherapy may improve survival. Elevated LDH levels and high IPI scores were predictors of poor sur-vival.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety and effectiveness of high power focused-beam microwave for deep region/whole body heating.MethodsTen 20 cm?20 cm?2 cm Jiang Han-bao prescribtion muscle phantoms were counterpoised exactly to 37 ℃,then piled up under microwave applicator. Nine thermocouples were placed between the phantoms in the center to monitor the temperature during heating. The phantoms were heated with a series of different source-skin distances and powers with the temperature measured every 1-2 min. After heating,the thermal distributive images for the phantoms were attained by liquid crystal plate (LCP) with the temperature of 40-45 ℃. Five swines with 60-75 kg weight were heated 8 times (1-3 times for each swine ) for 120 min each session,with a heating power of 600-800 W. Serum and tissues including liver,kidney,colon-rectum,intestine,muscle,fat and lung were collected for pathologic examination before and after heating. ResultsThe temperature images of 2-10 cm depth attained immediately after heating by LCP showed that the aim temperature (equal or over 40 ℃) was achieved and exhibited uniform thermal distribution in these areas. The tissues of the swines showed no serious damage by either microscopic or electron-microscopic examination. Some serum enzymatic parameters temporarily increased after heating,then reduced to normal level after a short interval (about one week) ConclusionHigh power focused-beam microwave is effective and safe for deep region/whole body heating by either phantoms or animal tests.
