Objective To observe the inhibitory effect of tumstatin related peptide T3 mediated by short peptide to osteosarcoma vascular. Methods Through MTS assay, wound healing assay, the inhibitory effect of targeting-T3 peptide and T3 peptide on the human umbilical veil endothelial cell was studied in vitro. After the preparation of 50 nude mice model bearing osteosarcoma, the nude mice bearing too large or too small tumors were eliminated and the left ones were divided into 4 groups (6 animals for each group: T3 peptide, targeting-T3 peptide, CTX, PBS) randomly. Through weight of tumor, histopathologicol slice and immunohistochemical methods. The inhibitory action of targeting-T3 peptide and T3 peptide on the neoge-netic vascular of osteosarcoma implanted in nude mouse was studied. Results In vitro, both T3 peptide and targeting-T3 peptide effectively inhibited the proliferation of human umbilical veil endothelial cell. In the experiment of vivo, the average weight of tumor of targeting-T3 peptide group was (1.104?.247) g, the average weight of the T3 peptide group was (1.484?.369) g. There was the statistical difference in tumor inhibition on the osteosarcoma betweent the targeting-T3 group and T3 group (F=16.353, P=0.000). The positive rate of vascular endothelial growth factor and metastasis in the lung in the targeting-T3 peptide group all descended than the T3 peptide group. Conclusion Because of the short peptide to osteosarcoma vascular, targeting-T3 peptide could significantly restrain the development of osteosarcoma. Coupling short peptide to T3 peptide increase the selective binding of T3 peptide to osteosarcoma vascular.

Objective To evaluate the effect of continuous glucose monitoring system(CGMS) in improving the current status of type 1 diabetes mellitus(T1DM) control and reducing the economic burden of the patients.Methods One hundred and fifteen patients with T1DM were randomly assigned to the CGMS group and the self-monitoring of blood glucose(SMBG) group respectively.The patients in CGMS group were on 72 h CGMS every 6 months, while SMBG group only with SMBG to guide the insulin dose adjustment.The levels of blood glucose and the statistics of the number of hypoglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis were taken as the main observational indexes every 6 months.The chronic complication and the statistics of the number of hospitalizations and the total cost of treatment were made as the secondary observational index every 12 months.Results 2 h postprandial plasma glucose(2hPG) and mean blood glucose(MBG) in the CGMS group were lower than those in the SMBG group [(10.7±1.9 vs 11.5±2.7) mmol/L, (9.7±0.5 vs 10.6±0.7) mmol/L, P<0.05] in the clinical follow-up visit after 6 months.The per capita number of hypoglycaemia in the CGMS group was lower than that in the SMBG group[(7.9±2.6 vs 9.2±3.4) times, P<0.05].In the outpatient follow-up re-visit to the patients after 6 months, fasting plasma glucose(FPG), 2hPG, MBG, and HbA1C of the patients in the CGMS group were lower than those in the SMBG group(t=4.71~9.75, P<0.05), the per capita numbers of hypoglycemia and DKA in the CGMS group were lower than those in the SMBG group(t=3.61~4.37, P<0.05).Conclusion The application of real-time continuous glucose monitoring in T1DM outpatient management may reduce the whole-day blood glucose of the patients, decrease the incidence risk of hypoglycemia, and improve the compliance of the treatment while without increasing the economic burden of the disease.

Multifocal pontine glioblastoma exhibiting an exophytic growth pattern in the cerebello-pontine angle (CPA) is rare. We present a case of a 5-year-old girl with consecutive neurological imaging and other clinical findings indicat-ing progressive multifocal exophytic pontine glioblastoma. Three lesions were reported, of which two were initially presented, and one was developed 2 months later. One lesion demonstrated a progressing exophytic extension in the cistern of the left side of the CPA. The other two lesions were located and confined within the pons. Initial magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography–computed tomography indicated low-grade glioma or inflammatory disease. However, 2 and 3 months later, subsequent magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) displayed elevated choline and depressed N-acetyl aspartate peaks compared with the peaks on the initial MRS, indicating a high-grade glioma. Subtotal resection was performed for the CPA lesion. Histopathologic examination showed discrepant features of different parts of the CPA lesion. The patient received no further chemotherapy or radiotherapy and died 2 months after surgery. The multifocal and exophytic features of this case and the heterogeneous manifes-tations on neurological images were rare and confusing for both diagnosis and surgical decision-making. Our case report may contribute knowledge and helpful guidance for other medical doctors.
