Copper is an essential metal element for human metabolism. Copper homeostasis can lead to inherited disorders of copper metabolism and also play an important role in tumor proliferation. In recent years, great progress has been made in the research and development of radioactive metal nuclide tracers, and molecular imaging quickly becomes a new inspection technology for detecting copper metabolism. 64CuCl 2 carries out PET imaging diagnosis of diseases with abnormal copper metabolism and tumors with high copper metabolism through real-time tracking of changes of copper ions in the body. At the same time, β - decay and electron capture of 64CuCl 2 have a therapeutic effect, and can be directly used for tumor nuclide therapy. Therefore, 64CuCl 2, as an integrated radiopharmaceutical for diagnosis and treatment, is the current research focus of molecular imaging. This article reviews 64CuCl 2 preparation, biological metabolism and its application in the diagnosis and treatment of abnormal copper metabolism diseases and tumors.

Objective To investigate the safety and clinical efficacy of recombinant human endostatin injection (endostar) continuous pumping combine with chemotherapy injection in the treatment of advanced malignancies . Methods 156 patients with advanced cancer were divided into the chemotherapy group (78 cases) and the chemotherapy combined with endostar group (78 cases). The two groups were similar in the tumor types, the neoplasm staging, the KPS and the chemotherapy agents. After two cycles chemotherapy, the efficacy was evaluated according to RECIST criteria and the quality of life (QOL) was assessed by KPS scores. Results The objective response rate (RR) of the chemotherapy combined with endostar group was 39.74%(31/78). The RR of the chemotherapy group was 17.95%(14/78). There was statistics significance in the RRs of the two groups (P<0.05). The QOL of 42 cases (53.8%) were improved, 26 cases (33.3%) were in stable and 10 cases (12.8%) were decreased in the chemotherapy combined with endostar group. The QOL were improved in 30 cases (38.5 %), stabled in 17 cases (21.8 %) and decreased in 31 cases (39.7 %) in the chemotherapy group. There were significant difference between the two groups (P< 0.05). The main adverse reactions were myelosuppression and digestive tract reaction in both groups (P>0.05), and all patients can tolerate. Conclusion The QOL of patients with advanced malignant tumors are improved by endostar combined with chemotherapy which is safe and effective. It is worthy further clinical observation.

Objective To investigate the relationship between lipid fluctuations of daily diet and insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) with normal fasting lipid profile. Methods One hundred and ninety?eight cases patients with T2DM who were treated in the Endocrinology Department of the General Hospital of Benxi Iron and Steel Group Corporation from October 2012 to September 2014 were selected. Patients were divided into three groups according to fasting and postprandial 4 h triglyceride( TG4 h)
level,the group with normal fasting TG and normal TG4 h with 38 cases,the group with normal fasting TG and rising TG4 h with 78 cases,the group with rising fasting TG and rising TG4 h with 82 cases. The control group was composed of healthy volunteers with 20 cases. The patients followed daily diet habits to eat,blood glucose, insulin and lipid level of fasting and 2 h,4 h after lunch were monitored. Homeostasis model insulin resistance index( HOMA?IR) was used as an index to evaluate insulin resistance,and the correlation analysis was carried out with fasting and dietary intake of postprandial lipid metabolism. Results (1)HbA1c,FPG,HOMA?IR,TG and insulin level in the patients of the group with normal fasting TG and normal TG4 h,the group with normal fasting TG and rising TG4 h,the group with rising fasting TG and rising TG4 h were higher than the control group (HbA1c:(8. 4±1. 9)%,(8. 2±2. 4)%,(7. 8±1. 8)% vs. (4. 3±0. 6)%);FPG:(8. 98±1. 93) mmol/L, (8. 62±1. 33) mmol/L,(8. 28±1. 26) mmol/L vs. (4. 82±0. 63) mmol/L;,HOMA?IR:11. 07±0. 11,6. 98 ±0. 08,3. 83±0. 09 vs. 1. 24±0. 16;TG:0 h TG:(2. 35±1. 85) mmol/L,(1. 60±0. 41) mmol/L,(1. 58±0. 46) mmol/L vs. (0. 82±0. 25) mmol/L;2 h TG:(3. 97±2. 96) mmol/L,(2. 98±1. 49) mmol/L,(1. 83±0. 62) mmol/L vs. (1. 22±0. 31) mmol/L;4 h TG:(4. 24±1. 57) mmol/L,(3. 15±1. 63) mmol/L,(1. 92±0. 53) mmol/L vs. (1. 16±0. 24) mmol/L;insulin(0 h insulin:(26. 51±3. 65) mU/L,(18. 18±6. 24) mU/L,(10. 31 ±2. 38) mU/L vs. (5. 87±1. 62) mU/L;2 h insulin:(59. 15±8. 34) mU/L,(43. 75±9. 83) mU/L,(34. 27 ±1. 61) mU/L vs. (25. 24±1. 98) mU/L;4 h insulin:(51. 22±6. 79) mU/L,(40. 06±7. 51) mU/L,(31. 06 ±1.77) mU/L vs. (13.36±1.37) mU/L;P<0.05). (2)WHR(0.90±0.08 vs.0.72±0.06),HOMA?IR, insulin level of fasting and 2 h,4 h after lunch,TG of 2 h,4 h after lunch in the group with normal fasting TG and rising TG4 h were higher than the group with normal fasting TG and normal TG4 h ( P<0. 05 ) . ( 3 ) BMI ((27. 3±3. 3) kg/m2 vs. (23. 1±1. 5) kg/m2),WHR(0. 96±0. 10 vs. 0. 72±0. 06),HOMA?IR,TG and insulin level of fasting and 2 h,4 h after lunch in the group with rising fasting TG and rising TG4 h were higher than the group with normal fasting TG and normal TG4 h( P<0. 05) . HOMA?IR,TG and insulin level of fasting and 2 h, 4 h after lunch in the group with rising fasting TG and rising TG4 h were higher than the group with normal fasting TG and rising TG4 h( P<0. 05) . ( 4) HOMA?IR was positively correlated with BMI,WHR,and fasting TG levels in the groups with diabetes(r=0. 297,0. 376,0. 326,P<0. 05). HOMA?IR was significantly positively correlated with TG of 2 h,4 h after lunch in the groups with diabetes( r=0. 529,0. 693,P<0. 05) . HOMA?IR was significantly positively correlated with BMI and WHR in the control group(r=0. 617,0. 728,P <0. 05). HOMA?IR was not significantly correlated with fasting and postprandial TG in the control group. Conclusion Postprandial lipid metabolism disorder after daily diet is in some of patients with T2DM with normal fasting lipid profile. Postprandial lipid metabolism disorder after daily diet is significantly positively correlated with insulin resistance in patients with T2DM. Insulin resistance may be one of the pathogenesis of postprandial dyslipidemia in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Objective To study the changes of cardiac structure,heart function and pulmonary arterial pressure of the Han Chinese back to the plain after living long time on Tibetan Plateau. Methods Randomly choose 67 cases out of the Han people who have moved to the Tibetan Plateau many years , and been examined to make sure they have no disease caused by other factors. Examine their cardiac structure, heart function, pulmonary arterial pressure and valve flow velocity in Tibetan Plateau and about 60 days later back in plains respectively. Then make statistical analysis of high altitude cardiopulmonary adaptation and de-adaptation reaction according to the differences. Results Only were the values of pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) and tricuspid regurgitation (TR) from the group back to plains lower than those from the group migrated to plateau (P = 0.045; P = 0.041). Other indicators of cardiac structure, heart function, pulmonary arterial pressure and valve flow velocity did not change significantly between the group back to plains and the group migrated to plateau (P > 0.05). Conclusions To Han people who returned to plains about 60 days later after long time staying on plateau , only the values of PASP and TR significantly reduce , which have not recovered to normal levels. This may be correlated with the ageing factor and long time migrating.
