Chinese Journal of Diabetes 2015;(2):182-184
Oxidative stress and inflammation are two main factors in the progress of diabetic nephropathy(DN) and its complications. NF‐E2 p45‐related factor (Nrf2) is a crucial transcriptional factor which manipulates downstream genes that encode some antioxidant enzymes and phase Ⅱ detoxifying enzymes ,to maintain the redox homeostasis and cellular detoxification response. Therefore ,more and more researchers are focusing on the role of Nrf2 in DN. In this review ,the detailed role of Nrf2 in DN will be discussed. Hopefully ,our work can epitomize recent research progress and provide novel clues for diabetic nephropathy prevention and treatment.

Tumor vaccine is one of the most promising therapeutic strategies in tumor immunotherapy. It promotes the antigen presentation process by delivering tumor antigen and then activates the anti-tumor immune response. As a new class of vaccines, messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines can activate the immune system to achieve the purpose of immunotherapy by delivering the mRNA sequence of a specific antigen into the body and expressing the corresponding antigen protein. Compared with traditional vaccines, mRNA vaccines have the advantages of a short production cycle, high effectiveness, and strong immunogenicity. In recent years, the application of mRNA vaccines in tumor immunotherapy has attracted widespread attention, but the instability and low delivery efficiency of mRNA limit its application. Nano delivery system can effectively solve the problem of mRNA vaccine delivery, greatly promote the research process and clinical application of mRNA tumor vaccines, and has become a hot spot in the research of mRNA vaccines. In this review, we introduced the mRNA tumor vaccines, focusing on the application of nano delivery system in mRNA tumor vaccines, in order to provide new ideas and new methods for the efficient delivery of mRNA tumor vaccines and tumor immunotherapy.

The expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and B-cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 gene (Bcl-2) was detected in 25 cases of cholesteatoma tissues and 10 cases of normal skin by using immunohistochemical technique. The results showed that the PCNA index of cholesteatoma tissues was higher than that of normal skin, but Bcl-2 was not expressed in cholesteatoma tissues and normal skin. The PCNA index was correlated with the aggressiveness of cholesteatoma. It was suggested that PCNA could be considered to be a prognostic marker and an indicator of aggressive behavior in cholesteatoma. Although the cholesteatoma had a very high proliferating character, it wasn't a malignant tumor.

[Objective] To guide the clinical application of Fuyang medicine through the study of San Jiao Theory of ZHENG Qin'an [Method] To study the foundation theory of ZHENG Qin'an and correlate the evidence with the concept of original yang, San Jiao, Emporer fire, Minister fire and middle earth. To explain the unity and inter-relation of San Jiao and the symptons of yang deficiency of San Jiao and the approach of the use of medicine with the support of case studies. [Result] Zheng Qin'an suggested that three Jiaos are of one Jiao. The yang of upper jiao is governed by Emperor fire while that of lower Jiao by Minister fire. The two fires are of one fire. The circulation of the two fires generates the middle earth. When the middle yang fails on circulating the upper and lower Jiaos cannot communicate. The root of original yang is the kidney which is nourished by the spleen. The unity of San Jiao, the use of lower yang as the root of upper and middle yang and the use of the circulation and root nourishing action of middle yang are the keys to application of medicine. [Conclusion] The use of medicine of ZHENG strongly adhered to the qi circulation of San Jiao. It showed to the later generations a simple but comprehensive thought of Chinese medicine. It was an important guidance for the use of Fuyang medicine.
