Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNENs) can be divided into functional and non-functional.Insulinomas,gastrinomas,glucagonomas and VIPomas are the common types of pNENs.Radical resection is the only way for curing pNENs or for a long-time survival of patients.The basic surgical procedures for pNENs are consist of local resection (tumor enucleation) or anatomical resection [pancreatoduodenectomy (standard or pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy),distal pancreatectomy (combined with splenectomy or spleen-preserving pancreatectomy) and middle segmental pancreatectomy].Liver is the most common site for metastases.Surgical resection is the method of choice for liver metastases.Radiofrequency ablation,transcatheter arterial chemoembolization and liver transplantation could be the adjunctive therapies.

Aim To study the effect of BNIP3 on hy-poxia-induced autophagic cell death in gastric carcino-ma.Methods The protein levels of BNIP3 and LC3-Ⅱ of 1 8 cases of gastric carcinoma were studied with immunocytochemistry and Western blot analysis be-tween normal and tumor tissues.The expression of LC3-Ⅱ in SGC-7901 cells was assessed while knock-down of BNIP3 by siRNA in CoCl2-induced hypoxia, and the effect of 3-MA was also studied.Cell viability in hypoxia treatment for 48 h was estimated with cell counting kit-8 (CCK8).Results Compared with nor-mal tissues,the protein levels of BNIP3 and LC3-Ⅱwere increased in tumor tissues.BNIP3 siRNA could decrease the expression of LC3-Ⅱ and enhance the cell viability,while inhibition of autophagy could also in-crease the cell viability in SGC-7901 cells.Conclu-sions BNIP3 may play a role in hypoxia-induced cell death in gastric carcinoma,and the possible mecha-nism may be related to the regulation of autophagy.

Inflammatory bowel disease( IBD),comprising Crohn’s disease( CD)and ulcerative colitis( UC),is a chronic intestinal inflammatory disease and its etiology has not yet been clarified. Studies showed that intestinal microbiota disorder is closely associated with the development and progression of IBD. Currently,fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT)is considered as a special organ transplantation and used in treatment of IBD,Clostridium difficile infection, irritable bowel syndrome,metabolic syndrome,etc. This article reviewed the relationship between FMT and IBD.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as any degree of glucose intolerance with the onset or first recognition during pregnancy,excluding diagnosed diabetes or prediabetes before pregnancy.It is one of the most common medical complications of pregnancy.There is almost no agreed diagnostic criteria for GDM until the hyperglycemia and adverse pregnancy outcome (HAPO) published in 2008.IADPSG published new diagnostic criteria for GDM,which is gradually acknowledged by the whole world.IADPSG diagnostic criteria has been adopted in China since 2011.Human insulin is the first-line therapy for GDM.Recently,insulin analogues such as insulin aspart and determir have been approved,and the safety and efficacy of oral antidiabetic drug-metformin are getting more and more attention and certification.Here,we reviewed the research progress of the diagnosis and treatment of GDM.

Objective To explore the levels and the significance of IL-11 and sgp130 in the treatment of newly-diagnosed acute leukemia(AL)during the treatment of the induced remission,and to evaluate the curate effect of rhIL-11 on AL.Methods The levels of IL-11 and sgp130 in patients with AL were determined by ELISA respectively before treatment and after completing remission(CR).1.5 mg of rhIL-11 was injected subcutaneously,once a day,continuously for 14 days as one course,of treatment time 1～2 courses as total.Results Plasm IL-11 level in AL patients was significantly lower than normal(P

It has been over two decades from the discovery of extracorporeal shock wave(ESW).The therapy of ESW has been proved effective in improving fracture healing,and has been developed quickly both in the choice of indications and in the medical equipments research.The status quo of ESW research,application in orthpedic trauma and treatment mechanism are summarized in this paper.Successful cases are reviewd in treating post-traumatic nonunion,renovation of artificial joints,and traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head.Common complications and its preventive measures are given.Detailed description of ESW operating principles and selection of working parameters are also described,with the expectation of wider range of clinical applications of ESW.

To investigate causes and clinical picture of fever of unknown origin (FUO), and to sum up the experiences in diagnosis of FUO, the medical records of 107 patients with FUO were reviewed retrospectively. Specific causes were identified in 99. 1% of these patients, including infections in 50 patients(46. 7%) , rheumatic problems in 22(20. 6%) and malignancies in 17(15. 9%). The main pathogens responsible for the infections were pyogenic bacteria(72. 0% , 36/50) and M tuberculosis (18. 0% , 9/50), mostly extrapulmonary. Lymphatic and he-mopoietic tissue neoplasms were the main forms of malignancy (88. 2%, 15/17), including histiocytosis, malignant lymphoma and leukemia. Drug fever was another common cause of FUO, accounting for 8. 4% in our series.

Objective:To study the effects of a potassium channel blocker 4-Amino pyridine(4-AP)on the proliferation of human tongue squamous cell carcinoma Tca8113 cells.Methods:CCK-8 assay was used to detect the proliferation of Tca8113 cells cultured with 4-AP at the concentration of 1,5,10,20,50 and 100 mmol/L for 12,24 and 48 h respectively,the cell proliferation inhibition rate was calculated,the cell cycle distribution was examined by flow cytometry.Data were analyzed by SPSS19.0 software.Results:With the increase of 4-AP concentration and culture time,cells showed some morphologic changes.4-AP at 5 -100 mmol/L dose and time dependently inhibited the proliferation,with 24 h exposure dose dependenty decreased S-phase population and increased G0 /G1 phase population of Tca8113 cells.Conclusion:4-AP may inhibit Tca8113 cell proliferation by regulation of the cell cycle distribution.

Objective To analyze the distributional characteristics of NPC1L1 1 735 C>G polymorphism and the relation-ship between serum lipid levels and obesity in Guangxi Han population.Methods Genotyping of the NPC1L1 1 735 C>G poly-morphism of 409 cases of Han was performed by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism combined with gel electrophoresis in all subjects.The relationship of different genotypes in blood lipid levels and obesity were evaluated.Re-sults The frequency of CC,CG and GG genotypes was 39.40%,46.00% and 14.60% in Han.The frequency of C and G alleles was 62.35% and 37.65% in Han.The levels of BMI,LDL-C,ApoB was different among the three genotypes (P <0.05).The G al-lele carriers had higher serum LDL-C and ApoB levels than the G allele noncarriers (P <0.05 ).Serum lipid parameters and BMI were also correlated with some environmental factors.Conclusion The 1 735 C>G polymorphism in NPC1L1 gene may be correla-ted with serum lipid profiles and obesity,the G allele might increase the risk of hyperlipemia and obesity.

Objective To investigate effect of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) to in vitro release characteristics of cefaclor sustained-release tablets.Methods Collected 10 batches of HPMC from different manufacturers.Determined the viscosity, molecular weight and the distribution of molecular weight of HPMC.HPMC from different manufacturers was used as blocking agent for the preparation of cefaclor sustained-release tablets according to the same prescription.Results The molecular weight was positively related to the viscosity of HPMC.The more molecular weight was, the slower the drugs release rate was,the better controlled released.Conclusion HPMC from different manufacturers show different quality stability and effect in vitro release of cefacor sustained-release tablets.
