Although the treatment has made great progress in breast cancer, there are still many problems. For example, primary or secondary on chemotherapy drug resistance and the limitation of treatment in triple-negative breast cancer. So, targeted therapy has become a new strategy to improve this situation. Previous studies showed that the occurrence of breast cancer may be related to the activation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathways, and mTOR is an index to judge the prognosis. Parts of breast cancers can obtain clinical benefit with mTOR inhibitors, and it might be a potential treatment target in breast cancer.

Objective To study the effect of serum leptin in “two hits” of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).Methods Fasting serum leptin(LEP) ,malondialdehyde(MDA) ,hyaluronic- acid(HA) ,type Ⅲ procollagen ( PCⅢ), laminin ( LN), and type Ⅳ collagen ( Ⅳ-C ) were detected in 43 simple nonalcoholic fatty liver( NAFL ) patients ,41 NASH patients and 40 healthy subjects. Insulin resistance was estimated by HOMA value and its relatio nship with leptin level in NAFLD was analyzed. The severity of lipid peroxidation was estimated by MDA and its relationship with leptin level in NAFLD was analyzed. The relationship of serum fibrosis markers with leptin level in NAFLD also was analyzed. Results Serum leptin, HOMA value in NAFLD were higher than those of healthy controis. MDA,PC Ⅲ 、Ⅳ-C 、LN 、HA in NASH were higher than those of healthy controls or simple NAFL patients. ,HOMA value, in NAFLD positively correlated with leptin. MDA, PC Ⅲ、 Ⅳ-C 、LN、HA in NASH positively correlated with leptin. Conclusion Serum leptin closely correlated with insulin resistance which results in “First hit” of NAFLD. There was certain relationship of leptin with “Second hit” of NAFLD. Leptin should be one of the factors which result in liver fibrosis.

OBJECTlVE To investigate the mechanism of verapamiI in the treatment of type 2 Iong QT syndrome(LQT2)using a rabbit Ieft ventricuIar myocardiaI wedge preparation. METHODS E-4031 (0.5 μmoI·L-1 )was used to induce the LQT2 modeI after rabbit Ieft ventricuIar wedge preparations were equiIibrated for 1 h,and verapamiI(0.5,1.0 and 2.5 μmoI·L-1 ,respectiveIy)was perfused in different groups. Data were coIIected for a period of 30 min starting 30 min after adding the respective drug. Transmembrane action potentiaIs of endocardiaI and epicardiaI myocardium were recorded simuItaneous-Iy at a basic cycIe Iength of 2000 ms(S1S1)together with a transmuraI ECG. The effect of verapamiI (0.5,1.0 and 2.5 μmoI·L-1 )on action potentiaI duration at 90% repoIarization(APD90 ),QT intervaI, transmuraI dispersion of repoIarization(TDR)and the deveIopment of earIy afterdepoIarization(EAD) and torsades de pointes(TdP)were evaIuated in the LQT2 myocardiaI wedge modeI. RESULTS E-4031 (0.5 μmoI·L-1 )markedIy proIonged endocardiaI and epicardiaI APD90 and QT intervaI( P﹤0.01),and dramaticaIIy increased TDR(P﹤0.01). Spontaneous or programmed eIectricaI stimuIation-induced EAD and TdP were aIso observed in the modeI. VerapamiI(0.5,1.0 and 2.5 μmoI·L-1 )dose-dependentIy abbreviated endocardiaI and epicardiaI APD90 and QT intervaI(P﹤0.01),significantIy decreased TDR(P﹤0.01),and suppressed EAD and TdP in the LQT2 modeI. Concordant but stronger effects on the eIectro-physioIogicaI properties of the LQT2 modeI were noticed when nifedipine was perfused. CONCLUSlON VerapamiI inhibits TdP in the LQT2 modeI by reducing TDR and suppressing EAD.
