1.Research progress on the relationship between FOXM1 and neo-plasm metabolism
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2015;42(22):1108-1111
FOXM1 is a member of the FOX family of transcription factors and has been confirmed to participate in cell prolifera-tion and cell cycle progress. FOXM1 has been reported to play an important role in more than 20 types of human neoplasms, and its up-regulation promotes tumor cell proliferation, invasion, metastasis, chemotherapy drug resistance, and resistance to apoptosis. In recent years, various studies have shown that FOXM1 also plays an important role in tumor metabolism. The metabolism of cancer cells deter-mines the growth and survival of cancer, and metabolic alteration is a key feature of tumor cells. The connection between metabolic ab-normalities and tumorigenesis has been reported. The O-linkedβ-N-acetylglucosamine transferase regulates the expression of FOXM1, which helps tumor cells survive without damage caused by oxidative stress. This review aims to summarize the known relationships of FOXM1 and tumor cell metabolism, as well as its role in the potential pathways of tumor metabolism.

Objective To evaluate the value of ultrasonic diagnosis of congenital prepyloric diaphragm. Methods Twelve cases were collected for the analysis of the characteristics of ultrasonography in diagnosis of congenital prepyloric diaphragm. Results Of the 12 cases of congenital prepyloric diaphragm, valvula in pyloric antrum could be observed in 5 cases, inclusive of 2 cases of complicating pachyntic stenosis of pyloric muscular layer. Other valvula in pyloric canal could not be found with ultrasonography. No pyloric muscular layer pachynsis was observed, but signs of pyloric obstruction such as gastric retention, slow or difficult transfer of gastric contents, gastro-esophageal reflux were found. Prepyloric diaphragm was confirmed surgically in all cases. Conclusion Ultrasonic diagnosis of congenital prepyloric diaphragm is of practical value in clinical practice and can provide reliable imaging data for the option of preoperative approaches.

Objective To investigate the possible pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) combined with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Methods Wistar rats were randomly divided into control, T2DM, AD and T2DM +AD groups. The blood glucose levels were assayed, and the behavior changes were tested by Morris water maze. The glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) and hyperphosphorylation of tau protein were detected by immunohistochemistry staining. Results Compared with the control rats, the learning and memory abilities were weakened significantly in the model rats (F=28. 65, P<0.001). The expression of GSK-3β was higher in T2DM + AD group (4319. 02±653. 24) than in AD group (304. 39 ± 175. 83), T2DM group (540.43 ± 558.49) and control group (315. 56 ± 91. 64, H=19. 335, all P<0. 01). The level of hyperphosphorylation of tau protein was significantly increased in T2DM + AD group (8583. 81 ± 2236. 11) and AD group (2799. 61±1070. 02) than in control group (252. 02 ± 58. 37) and T2DM group (287. 75 ± 192. 53, H=32. 950, P< 0.001). There was no significantly difference of hyperphosphorylation of tau between T2DM group and control group (H = 32. 950, P>0. 05). Conclusions The increasing of GSK-3β activity in T2DM may be caused by hyperphosphorylation of tau.

The original teaching of clinical pharmacy for stomatology course did not let students aware of the importance of drugs in the treatment of oral diseases. The original teaching framework was rearranged:decentralizing knowledge of oral diseased related clinical pharmacy into several mod-ules;setting general knowledge into the oral basic medical module;adding the practice of visiting the pharmacy and manufacturing laboratory. Teaching process was closely combined with clinics and was integrated with disease-centered oral medicine curriculum integration system. Students responded that the teaching effect was better. The rearranged teaching method can enhance students' attention on drug treatment for oral diseases,improve their ability of clinical medication and promote the teaching quality.
