Deubiquitinating enzymes, reversing protein ubiquitination, most of the researches focused on the ifeld of molecular biology. However, it have not yet attracted enough attention in translational medicine research. In fact, target proteins of deubiquitinating enzymes affect the tumor progression through various ways, for example, cell apoptosis and autophagy, the link between inlfammation and cancer, tumor hypoxia, signal transduction, cell cycle regulation and DNA damage. This paper reviewed the research progress on the relations between deubiquitinating enzymes and the correlated factors of tumor.

The paper analyzes the cause for poor medication compliance of hypertensive patients,indicates the necessity of development of hypertensive health management APP,designs three core functions of the APP including health science popularization,medication reminding and blood pressure monitoring,promotes the improvement of medication compliance of patients,and improves the use intensity of users of the APP through the internal incentive measures that combining health belief and effect monitoring and the external incentive measures that focus on the reward system.

Objective To investigate the relationship and mechanism of the serum vitamin D levels with insulin sensitivity and adipokines APN,RBP4,visfatin and TNF-α in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM). Methods A total of 101 patients with gestational diabetes( GDM group) and 50 pregnant women with normal blood sugar( control group) were recruited to detect the serum levels of correlative biochemical indexes,APN,RBP4,visfatin,TNF-α and 25OHD3 using an HPLC method. Twenty-four patients in the GDM group diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency(<25 nmol·L-1 ) were randomized to receive either 1,25(OH) 2D3(0. 25 μg·d-1) orally or no treatment. Serum levels of correlative biochemical indexes were detected after 1 month. Results GDM patients had 25OHD3 levels significantly lower than the control group(P<0. 05),APN levels lower than the control group,and RBP4,visfatin,TNF-α levels significantly higher than the control group(all P<0. 05). After 1 month of 1,25(OH) 2D3 treatment,HOMA-IR increased,while HOMA-β decreased. APN levels was positively correlated(r= 0. 526) with 25OHD3;RBP4,visfatin,TNF-α decreased and were negatively correlated with 25OHD3( r values were -0. 272,-0. 153,-0. 072). Conclusion Vitamin D can reduce the adipokines RBP4,visfatin,TNF-α,increase APN,and thus play a protective role for gestational diabetes.

Alcohol dependence as a chronic disease with high relapse rates,seriously affects individ-ual health and causes related social problems. However,the treatment of alcohol addiction currently lacks ef-fective interventions to reduce craving and prevent relapse. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation ( rTMS) is an emerging intervention in the field of addiction. This paper reviews the researches to introduce the working principle of TMS and its effects on brain functions and neurotransmitters of alcohol dependent pa-tients. Studies have shown that rTMS has a certain effect on reducing alcohol craving,but the existing re-search protocols and their results are not exactly same,and the best parameters need to be clarified. Future research can try to explore optimized treatment options,and find biological efficacy indicators to provide more evidence for further clinical application.
