CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) have potent immunostimulatory effects and can enhance the anti-cancer activity of cancer treatments. CpG ODN directly induced the activation and maturation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells, stimulated the secretion of Th1-type cytokines, and enhanced the differentiation of B cells into antibody-secreting plasma cells. CpG oligodeoxynucleotides as vaccine adjuvants can enhance both the humoral and cellular responses to antigens in some clinical trails. CpG ODN was applied in several clinical trials as an adjuvant of tumor vaccine. CpG ODN alone had anti-tumor activity and had synergistic effects with other anti-tumor therapies including monoclonal antibodies, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, cytokines, etc. Compared with standard regimen, in the phase Ⅲ clinical trial CpG ODN did not prolong the median survival time and induced severe adverse reaction in the treatment of ⅢB-Ⅳ stage non-small cell lung cancer. But CpG ODN had definite anti-cancer activity in other clinical trials. The safety and efficacy of CpG ODN in anti-tumor therapy needs to be further verified in clinic.

Aquatic plant duckweed can enrich high concentration of arsenic, it is thus used as the representative of phytofiltration.The mechanism of arsenic tolerance in duckweeds has received much concern.In this study, synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence (SRXRF) and X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) techniques were used to study the micro-distribution and speciation of arsenic in natural As-rich duckweed from lead-zinc mine.Two monolithic duckweeds, FP1 and FP2, were analyzed by micro SRXRF, setting single point scan time and spot size were 5 s, 70 μm×80 μm and 2 s, 100 μm×100 μm respectively.Six points of FP2 were selected and analyzed by micro XANES in energy range of 11.81-11.96 keV.Pressed-pellet duckweed was analyzed by bulk XANES in energy range of 11.67-12.27 keV.The result showed that As(Ⅲ) was the major speciation of duckweed from bulk XANES and micro-XANES data.SRXRF micro analysis showed that arsenic had significant vein distribution in duckweed, and was not spread into the photosynthetic mesophyll within certain concentration, which may reduce the leaf toxicity triggered by arsenic.This vein distribution may play a role in arsenic tolerance in duckweed.

Multidrug resistance (MDR) limits the clinical application and efficacy of chemotherapy drugs. Thus, MDR is the big-gest obstacle to the success of chemotherapy. Complex and diverse MDR mechanisms exist, including the following:adenosine triphos-phate-binding cassette membrane transport protein family, anti-apoptotic or enhanced DNA repair, mutations in drug targets or metabol-ic enzymes, microRNA, and cancer stem cells. Autophagy can degrade organelles and proteins that have been damaged in the cyto-plasm through the formation of autolysosome and recycle metabolites. Maintaining intracellular homeostasis and a balanced internal en-vironment is highly significant. Recent studies found that autophagy is closely related to the pathophysiology of MDR. The interaction between autophagy and MDR and the possible molecular mechanisms underlying these phenomena are reviewed. This paper elucidates the occurrence of MDR in relation to autophagy in order to provide new information on chemotherapy MDR.

One hundred and sixty non-diabetic patients with cerebral ischemia of primary onset were enrolled in the study. The patients were divided into impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) group and normal glucose tolerance (NGT) group according to the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Carotid atherosclerosis and carotid artery stenosis were examined with vascular Doppler ultrasonic detection. The incidence rates of carotid atherosclerosis in IGT group and NGT group were 87. 5% (70/80)and 63.8% (51/80)respectively (χ2= 12.240,P <0.001);the incidence rates of carotid stenosis in IGT group and NGT group were 63.8% (51/80) and 47. 5 % (38/80), respectively(χ2 =4. 279, P =0. 039);the degree of carotid artery stenosis in IGT group was higher than that in NGT group(χ2= 21.95, P < 0. 01). The results indicate that IGT may be related to atherosclerosis and stenosis of carotid artery in cerebral ischemic patients.

Objective To determine whether neuron?specific enolase(NSE)affects the prognosis of extensive small cell lung cancer by analyz?ing the association between NSE before treatment and disease progression and overall survival of patients. Methods This study retrospectively an?alyzed 83 inpatients in the medical oncology department of the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University from March 2008 to September 2014. The Kaplan?Meier method and Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyze relevant factors affecting the prognosis of extensive small cell lung cancer;statistical significance was determined for a P value less than 0.05. Results The lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)level be?fore treatment was significantly associated with the progression?free survival(PFS)(P=0.001)and overall survival(OS)(P=0.036). The NSE level before treatment was also significantly associated with the PFS(P=0.007)and OS(P=0.013). Conclusion LDH and NSE affect progno?sis and survival of patients with extensive small cell lung cancer.

AIM: To explore the effects of exendin-4 (EX-4) on endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-mediated insulin resistance in the 3T3-L1 adipocytes.METHODS: In vitro 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes were differentiated into adipocytes, and the cells were treated with tunicamycin (TM), tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) or EX-4, respectively.The cell viability was measured by MTT assay.The glucose consumption was determined by glucose oxidase assay to evaluate insulin sensitivity of the 3T3-L1 adipocytes with different interventions.The protein levels of p-Akt, Akt and endoplasmic reticulum stress markers, including inositol requiring enzyme-1 (IRE1), p-IRE1, JNK, p-JNK, protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK), p-PERK, eukaryotic initation factor 2 alpha (eIF2a), p-eIF2a, activating transcription factor-6(ATF-6) were detected by Western blot.RESULTS: The insulin-stimulated glucose consumption and the protein level of p-Akt were inhibited by TM at 5 mg/L for 5 h (P<0.05), while they were increased when the cells were treated with TUDCA at 1 mmol/L or EX-4 at 100 nmol/L for 24 h (P<0.05).The effects above induced by TM (5 mg/L for 5 h) were also blunted by pretreating with TUDCA at 1 mmol/L or EX-4 at 100 nmol/L for 24 h (P<0.05).The protein levels of ERS markers such as p-IRE1, p-JNK, p-PERK, p-eIF2a and ATF-6 were significantly increased by treating with TM at 5 mg/L for 5 h, whereas 24 h pre-treatment with TUDCA or Ex-4 alleviated the ERS of the 3T3-L1 adipocytes induced by TM.The expression of total IRE1, JNK, PERK and eIF2a was not changed in different groups.CONCLUSION: Exendin-4 improves endoplasmic reticulum stress mediated insulin resistance in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
