This article reviewed the advances in studies on intestinal absorption characteristics of zinc and possible mechanisms.It has set a foundation for elucidating important functions of zinc absorption in maintaining zinc homeostasis in the body of animals.

Objective To study and observe the changes of pancreatic blood flow and blood miR indexes of patients with pancreatic cancer.Methods 70 patients with pancreatic cancer were selected as the observation group,70 health persons of the same age at the same period were selected as the control group, then the blood flow indexes and blood miR of observation group’s lesion and tumor adjacent tissue and control group’s healthy pancreas were detected,and the detection results of control group and observation group were compared,then the above indexes of observation group with different Hemrick stages were compared.Results The lesion blood flow indexes of observation group were all obviously worse than those of control group(P<0.05),blood miR indexes were all higher than those of control group(P <0.05),the lesion and tumor adjacent tissue blood flow indexes all had obvious differences(P<0.05),and the above indexes of observation group with different Hemrick stages all had significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusion The pancreatic blood flow and blood miR of patients with pancreatic cancer all show obvious abnormal state,and the differences of indexes of patients with different Hemrick stages are all prominent, so the pancreatic blood flow and blood miR indexes all have higher value for the patients with pancreatic cancer.

Arsenic trioxide (As2O3)is the main component of traditional Chinese medicine arsenic,which was initially used in the treatment of blood system diseases.In recent years,studies have found that it also has a good effect on a variety of solid tumors,especially gastric cancer.It has been confirmed that As2O3 can inhibit proliferation and metastasis of gastric cancer cells,induce apoptosis and protective autophagy,inhibite lymphatic formation and angiogenesis,affect the expression of telomere-related proteins in gastric cancer cells.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the major complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which results in a high risk of mortality. Thus, the cardiovascular safety of new anti-diabetic agents has become an important prob?lem with wide concern. There are two classes of incretine-based medications: glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor (DPP-4I). It has been demonstrated that GLP-1RA and DPP-4I possesse beneficial actions in both animal models of cardiovascular dysfunction and patients with ischemic heart diseases. However, their effects on the cardiovascular system in diabetic patients with heart diseases are still uncertain. Here, we sys?tematically reviewed the effects of GLP-1RA and DPP-4I on cardiovascular system to provide more evidence of incretin-based therapy application for diabetes and complications.

Objective To compare the curative effects between one‐stage anterior debridement bone graft fusion and posteri‐or fixation fusion combined with anterior debridement bone graft fusion in the treatment of multiple lower thoracic spinal tuberculo‐sis .Methods A total of 62 patients with multiple lower thoracic spinal tuberculosis in our hospital from March 2002 to March 2010 were treated by the anterior debridement bone graft fusion ,including 32 cases of anterior internal fixation by one screw‐rod system (group A) and 30 cases of posterior internal fixation by two nail‐stick systems(group B) .The cure rate ,operation time ,bleeding volume ,the Cobb′s angle and recovery situation of spinal cord injury were compared between the two groups .Results All patients were followed up for 24-36 months (average 28 months) and showed successful bone graft fusion .In the Frankel classification e‐valuation at postoperative 12 months ,the improvement rate of spinal cord injury was 76 .92% (10/13) in the group A and 81 .82%(9/11) in the group B ,showing no statistically significant difference (χ2 =0 .087 ,P>0 .05) .The total cure rate was 84 .38% (27/32) in the group A and 85 .48% (26/30) in the group B ,showing no statistically significant difference (χ2 =0 .066 ,P>0 .05) .The Cobb′s angles before operation ,immediately after operation and at the last follow‐up were (28 .16 ± 4 .16)° ,(5 .03 ± 3 .24)° and (8 .81 ± 2 .44)° in the group A and (26 .83 ± 5 .41)° ,(5 .50 ± 3 .03)° and(8 .06 ± 2 .45)° in the group B ,showing no statistically sig‐nificant difference (t=1 .038 ,t=0 .588 ,t=1 .200 ,all P>0 .05) .The operation time was (171 .31 ± 12 .84)min in the group A and (219 .23 ± 21 .44)min in the group B ,showing statistically significant difference (t=10 .754 ,P<0 .05) .The bleeding volume was (341 .25 ± 76 .10)mL in the group A and (440 .67 ± 67 .16)mL in the group B ,showing statistically significant difference (t=5 .439 ,P<0 .05) .Conclusion One‐stage anterior debridement ,and anterior or posterior internal fixation for treating multiple lower thoracic spinal tuberculosis can obtain the better curative effect ,but selecting case is very important .

Autoimmune diseases are characterized by the presence of various autoantibodies and may cause injuries to multiple organs,with kidney as the most common and important organ involved.Autoantibodies are of great importance in the diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of autoimmune renal diseases.Lupus nephritis,anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis and antiglomerular basement membrane (GBM) disease are the most common autoimmune renal diseases.Anti-C1q antibody,ANCA and anti-GBM antibody play important roles in those diseases,respectively.Appropriate and steady detecting methods are crucial to clinicians,and the results should also be interpreted with great cautions.

Breast cancer is regarded as a heterogenous disease classified into different molecular subtypes,resulting in different biologic behavior and sensitivity to treatment respectively.Molecular biology typing that based gene expression profiles and biological characteristics of breast cancer can reflect the biological behavior of tumors exactly,which has important clinical significance.

Endometriosis, a common and complicated disease in gynecology. is characterized by strong invasive-ness, wide implant and easy recurrence. At present, its pathogenesis is still not clear and there is no satisfactory therapy, so it has become a hot issue in gynecology research. This paper reviewed its pathogenesis and Traditional Chinese Medicine and West ern Medicine treatment.
