China Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Pharmacy 2005;0(07):-
Intervention and prevention of IGT population is crucial for reducing high incidence of diabetic.This paper analyzed the insufficiency of the existing IGT intervention and prevention models by introduing the concept of human health view of ecological theory,and emphasized the close relationship between IGT population and environment.The ecological explanation of TCM etiology of IGT and the ecological evaluation standard of IGT intervention and prevention model were also discussed.This paper further indicated that only by focusing on adapting to the living environment,applying the concepts of "integrated ecosystem management" can we successfully construct a sustainable IGT prevention and intervention model and effectively promote the model into a large-scale community.

Tunneling nanotubes(TNT) are cellular communication and transport mechanism discovered recently. TNTs play important role in immunological response and viral spread, also may involve embryonic development, regulation of gene expression and carcinogenesis. However, it was not easy to study TNT for clinical samples since intricate assay method for TNT. We suggested using histochemical assay PAS staining in cell drip to show TNT in leukemia and lymphoma samples.

Aim To investigate the cardioprotective effects and the possible mechanism of trimetazidine in the risky areas during late reperfusion after acute myocardial infarction in canine.Methods Twenty-four adult dogs were randomized into three groups:sham operation group(n=8),late reperfusion group(LR,n=8),late reperfusion after trimetazidine treatment group(LR+TMZ,n=8).Physiological saline was orally given in the sham operation group and LR group and trimetazidine(2 mg?kg-1?d-1) in the LR+TMZ group for fourteen days.After that later,all chests were opened and coronary areteries were exposed.Exceptly shame operation group,the late reperfusion of acute myocardial infarction model was made by ligating the coronary for 10 h,followed by reperfusion of 10 h.Apoptotic index were detected by TUNEL.The Bcl-2,Bax,Cytochrome C and apoptosis-inducing factor(AIF) proteins were detected by immunohistochemistry.Results Compared with those of LR group,myocardial apoptotic index and the expression of Bax,Cytochrome C and AIF proteins in LR+TMZ decreased significantly(all P

Human herpesviruses (HHV) are widespread all over the world,and persist in human in latent infection.When reactivated,HHV plays an important role in the pathogenesis and development of tumor and other diseases.Much attention has been paid on EB virus which can cause different tumors and other diseases.Studies within this half century have elucidated the mechanism of oncogenesis of γ-HHV.Recently it was reported that other HHV may have oncomodulation functions.

Cell death as the partner of cell proliferation is one of the basic mechanism in cell biology. Recently, it became obscure since more and more patterns of cell death were reported. However, the classification of cell death, which was recommended by the Nomenclature Committee on Cell Death (NCCD) in 2009, clarified the criteria. The theme of the recommendation and recent data from the literature were discussed in this review. The significance of studies on cell death was discussed.

After near a century of research,the diverse and complicated relationship between viruses and tumors has been elucidated gradually.Last century it was demonstrated that some retroviruses and some herpes viruses could induce lymphoma and leukemia in some animals.However,it is more complicated in human.During the last two decades it has been confirmed that several types of hepatitis viruses could cause hepatocellular carcinoma and the relationship between human papillomaviruses and cervix carcinoma has been established.These viral vaccines became useful tools to prevent prevalence of these carcinomas.Because of the successful inoculation of live attenuated viral vaccines all around the world in recent 15 years,oncolytic virotherapy is revived,and provides a novel strategy for treatment of refractory tumors.

The disturbance of life rhythm exerts negative influence on modem life.The relationship between the disruption of circadian rhythms and tumor growth has attracted much attention.It has been studied in breast cancer and prostate cancer,and chronotherapeutics has been used for treatment of some cancers in clinic.Researchers have begun to investigate the association of circadian rhythms with leukemia/lymphoma outside China.The literatures were reviewed and the launch of research on this field was appealed.

AIM:To observe the protective effect of Nano-Se on myocardium of experimental diabetes mice.METHODS:Sixty healthy male KM mice were chosen,ten of which were selected randomly as the normal control group.After fasted for 24 h,the rest 50 mice were injected with streptozotocin(STZ,50 mg/kg)intraperitoneally for 5 d.At 7th d,the blood-sugar was measured from vena caudalis,40 mice,of which blood-sugar exceeded 16.65mmol/L,were selected and randomized into 4 groups:the positive control group,low dose(25 ?g/kg)Nano-Se group,mid dose(50 ?g/kg)Nano-Se group,high dose(50 ?g/kg)Nano-Se group.All mice were given intragastric administration of 0.2 mL normal saline and corresponding dose of Nano-Se.The body weights were measured every week,and the dose of which was adjusted according to the change of the body weights.8 weeks later,the mice were killed and cardiac muscle of the left ventricle was taken.The myocardium was prepared to 10% homogenate for measuring SOD,GSH-Px activity and MDA content.The myocardial cell apoptosis was measured by TUNEL.The expressions of Bc1-2 and Bax proteins were determined by immunohistochemistry.RESULTS:Compared to normal group,the SOD and GSH-Px activities in positive control group decreased,MDA level increased,the rate of myocardial cell apoptosis increased significantly,Bc1-2 protein expression deceased and Bax protein expression increased.Compared to positive control group,the SOD and GSH-Px activities in low and mid dose Nano-Se groups expression increased,MDA level decreased,myocardial cell apoptosis rate decreased,Bc1-2 protein expression increased and Bax protein expression decreased.Moreover,the SOD and GSH-Px activities in high dose Nano-Se group decreased obviously compared to those in mid dose Nano-Se group.MDA level and myocardial cell apoptosis rate increased,Bc1-2 protein expression decreased and Bax protein expression increased,no significant difference in SOD,GSH-Px activity,MDA level and myocardial cell apoptosis rate was observed compared with positive control group.CONCLUSION:The damage of cardiac muscle is alleviated when a certain dose of Nano-Se is supplied to diabetes mice.The protective mechanism may be related to antioxidation,blood-sugar adjustment and the increase of Bc1-2 expressing.

Allee effect is a phenomenon in ecology characterized by a correlation between population size or density and the mean individual fitness of population or species.It is consistent with density dependent phenomenon in biomedical field.Recently,Allee effect has been studied by theoretical biologist in detail for oncology biological research.Leukemia cells,which reside in organic microenvironment,show an obvious Allee effect.The authors compared Allee effect with density dependent growth of leukemia cells based on their work experience and literature data.No principle distinction was found between these two terms.In this paper,Allee effect in leukemia cell culture and leukemia,especially in minimal residual disease,will be discussed in the view of ecology.The association between Allee effect and leukemogenesis and relapse dynamics will also be explored in the future research.
