Signaling pathways such as MAPK and P13K have been confirmed to be important in the mechanism of tumor genesis, development, prevention and treatment. Thyroid hormone (TH) and its receptor (TR) can affect the pathways resulting in inhibition of tumor growth and metastasis, thus they have gradually become the focus of recent research. However, numerous studies showed that TR gene mutation was often observed in a variety of cancers and resulted in the deregulation of TH/TR mediated downstream pathways, and TR gene mutation became an causative agent to activate downstream proto-oncogene. Recent studies showed that TH/TR might play a role in the regulation of β-catenin degradation, the knowledge of which allows us not only to further understand the function of TR gene in the inhibition of tumor development, but also provide a theoretical basis for the continuous activation of downstream proto-oncogene by TR mutation. To study the downstream pathway of TR gene could eventually guide the clinician and provide a new theoretical basis for cancer prevention and molecular target gene therapy.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the C161T polymorphisms in peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) gene and atherothrombotic infarction (ATI) in a Chinese Han population.Methods The patients with atherothrombotic infarction and controls,who without histories of stroke,transient ischemic attack and myocardial infarction were enrolled.Genotypes of the PPARγ C161T polymorphisms were determined using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism.The frequencies of genotype and allele in patients with ATI and controls were compared.Results A total of 112 ATI patients and 112 controls were enrolled.There were no significant differences in the age (67.9± 11.73 years vs.66.5 ± 10.35 years; t =0.386,P =0.701) and the proportion of male (61.61％ vs.58.04％ ;x2 =0.297,P =0.586) in the ATI group and the control group.The proportions of hypertension (59.82％ vs.44.62％ ;x2 =5.171,P =0.023),type 2 diabetes mellitus (26.79％ vs.9.82％;x2 =10.778,P =0.001) in the ATI group were significantly higher than those in the control group.Body mass index (25.13±1.86 kg/m2 vs.24.11 ± 1.81 kg/m2; t =3.543,P=0.001),systolic pressure (158.84 ± 20.15 mm Hg vs.135.82 ± 19.58 mm Hg; t =7.350,P =0.000),diastolic pressure (76.90 ± 13.64 mm Hg vs.68.90 ± 8.52 mm Hg; t =4.374,P =0.000) and the level of fasting blood glucose (6.523 ± 2.831 mmol/L vs.5.706 ± 2.177 mmol/L; t =2.026,P =0.044) in the ATI group were significantly higher than those in the control group.The genotype frequencies of CC,CT and TT in the ATI group were 77.7％,17.0％ and 5.4％,respectively,and in the control group were 69.6％,22.3％ and 8.0％,respectively.There were no significant difference between the two groups (x2 =1.909,P =0.385).The allele frequencies of C and T in the ATI group were 86.2％ and 13.8％,respectively,and in the control group were 80.8％ and 19.2％,respectively.There were no significant difference between the two groups (x2 =2.331,P =0.127).Conclusions PPARγ C161T polymorphisms may be not associated with the onset of ATI in a Chinese Han population.

As a transmembrane protein, CD47 is widely distributed in a variety of cells. It can bind to signal regulatory protein alpha (SIRPα) on macrophages and release inhibitory signals, thus avoiding phagocytosis of macrophages. In lymphoma cells, the expression of up-regulation of CD47 expression in lymphoma cells is one of the important mechanisms for inducing immune escape, and it is also a potential therapeutic target. This article reviews the research progress of CD47-induced immune escape, monoclonal antibodies targeting CD47 and cellular immunotherapy in the treatment of lymphoma.

Leveraging the centralized drug purchase platform of medical institutions in Beijing, the study measured the drug price index (DPI) and the DDD price index from 2005 to 2013, and the outcomes indicate a drop of both the drug price index and the drug price index calculated by DDD.Despite such drops however, drug price drop by itself could not curb the constant rise of drug expenses and medical costs due to changes in the structure and interval of drug administration.

Objective To investigate the predictive values of the pulsatility index detected by transcranial Doppler (TCD) and serum neuron-specific enolase (NES) in patients achieved return of spontaneous circulation after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Methods The patients with CPR restoration of spontaneous circulation who were still in coma were divided into survival group and death group. TCD monitoring and serum NSE detection were performed at 48 hours after CPR restoration of spontaneous circulation. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the predictive values of the pulsatility index detected by TCD and serum NES in patients after successful CPR. Results Seventy patients were collected, 32 patients (19 males and 13 females) in the survival group, age 54. 63 ± 13. 28 years; 38 patients (22 males and 16 females) in the death group, age 58. 00 ± 13. 15 years. There were no significant differences in age and gender between the survival and death groups. The pulsatility index was 1. 217 + 0. 352 in the death group, and it was significantly higher than 0.841 +0. 163 in the survival group; the serum NSE content was 130. 968±59.634 ng/ml in the death group, and it was signiflcantly higher than 49. 465 ± 26. 864 ng/ml in the survival gronp (P＜0. 01). When the pulsatility index was used to predict the death of patients, the ROC area under the curve was 0. 794 (P=0. 000,95% confidence interval [CI] O. 679-0. 908);when the cutoff value was 1. 110, the sensitivity was 68.4%, the specificity was 100%,positive predictive value was 100%, and negative predictive value was 72. 7%. When serum NSE level was used to predict the death of the patients, the ROC area under the curve was 0. 756 (P= 0. 000, 95% CI 0. 672-0. 885); when the cutoff value was 56. 502 ng/ml, the sensitivity was 80. 8%, the specificity was 65. 4%, positive predictive value was 82. 5%, and negative predictive value was 76. 6%. Conclusions The pulsatility index detected by TCD and serum NSE content can be used as predictors in patients achieved return of spontaneous circulation after CPR.
