2.Effects of p90 ribosomal S6 kinase pathway in breast cancer and its mechanism
Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(6):441-444
p9O ribosomal S6 kinases(BSKs)are overexpressed in 50% human breast cancer. RSKs enhance the proliferation of breast cancer cells by regulating several key breast cancer-related proteins. They also improve survival of the breast cancer cells through regulating translocation and translation of mRNA. In addition. RSK promotes tumor angiogenesis by interaction with estrogen receptor. However, RSK4 may play an inhibitory role in breast cancer. In general, except RSK4,RSKs may become promising targets of breast cancer therapy.

4.Influence of impaired glucose metabolism on cardiovascular function in patients with essential hypertension
Chinese Journal of cardiovascular Rehabilitation Medicine 2014;23(4):370-375
Objective: To explore the influence of impaired glucose metabolism (IGM) on cardiovascular function in patients with essential hypertension (EH). Methods: A total of 46 pure EH patients and 36 EH + type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients were selected. Levels of blood glucose, blood lipids, serum uric acid (UA), fibrinogen (Fb), serum homocysteine (Hcy) and urinary microalbumin were measured, and patients received 24h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and color Doppler echocardiography. Clinic indexes, ambulatory blood pressure parameters and incidence rate of cardiac diastolic dysfunction were compared and analyzed between two groups. Cardiac diastolic dysfunction was regarded as a binary dependent variable, and it underwent multi-factor gradual binary regression analysis. Results: Body mass index (BMI), blood glucose, blood lipids (except high density lipoprotein cholesterol, apoprotein AI), UA, Fb, serum Hcy and urinary microalbumin levels in EH + T2DM group were significantly higher than those of pure EH group (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and their 24h mean systolic blood pressure (24hSBP), daytime mean SBP (dSBP), 24h mean pulse pressure (24hPP) and daytime mean PP (dPP) were significantly higher than those of pure EH patients (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of both groups was > 40%, and incidence rate of cardiac diastolic dysfunction in EH + T2DM group (72.2%) was significantly higher than that of pure EH group (45.7%), P<0.05. Binary Logistic regression analysis indicated that age (OR=1.160, 95%CI: 1.002~1.342, P=0.012), DM (OR=3.095, 95%CI: 1.056~9.079, P=0.029) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c, OR=1.756, 95%CI: 1.261~2.445, P=0.008) were independent risk factors for cardiac diastolic dysfunction in EH patients. Conclusion: Impaired glucose metabolism aggravates cardiovascular system dysfunction in patients with essential hypertension through aggravating atherosclerosis and cardiac early diastolic dysfunction. Therefore, improvement of glucose metabolism in these patients could help to reduce their risk of cardiovascular diseases.
5.Influence of abnormal glucose metabolism on vascular endothelial injury in patients with essential hypertension
Chinese Journal of cardiovascular Rehabilitation Medicine 2013;22(1):6-10
Objective: To explore influence of abnormal glucose metabolism on vascular endothelial injury in patients with essential hypertension (EH). Methods: A total of 46 pure EH patients (EH group) and 33 EH patients complicated type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM, EH + T2DM group) were enrolled. Blood glucose, blood lipid, body mass index (BMI), serum concentrations of homocysteine (Hcy) and urine microalbumin were measured and compared between two groups. Relationship among serum Hcy, urine microalbumin concentrations and blood glucose, blood lipids, BMI were analyzed. Results: Compared with EH group, there were significant increase in levels of BMI, fasting blood glucose (FBG), 2h postprandial blood glucose (2hPBG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and apolipoprotein B (ApoB), (P<0.05 or <0.01), and even more significant increase in serum levels of Hcy [(12.78±2.51) μmol/L vs. (16.26±2.91) μmol/L] and urine microalbumin [(19.45±5.24) mg/L vs. (33.65±10.70) mg/L] in EH + T2DM group, P<0.01 both; Pearson correlation analysis indicated that in EH patients with DM, serum Hcy level was positively correlated with BMI, FBG, HbA1c, LDL-C, ApoB and urine microalbumin (r=0.667~0.906,P<0.01 all), while urine microalbumin level was positively correlated with BMI, HbA1c, LDL-C, ApoB and serum Hcy (r=0.566~0.685, P<0.01 all). Conclusion: Abnormal glucose metabolism can aggravate both vascular endothelial injury and renal microvascular injury in patients with essential hypertension, and these are closely related with degree of abnormal glucose metabolism. Therefore, controlling blood glucose level can relieve vascular injury, further relieve pathological development of cardiovascular diseases as well as renal complications.
6.EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES ON SKIN FIBROBLASTS TRANSFECTED WITH HUMAN VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR GENE
Medical Journal of Chinese People's Liberation Army 1983;0(05):-
This study was aimed to improve the therapeutic results of composite skin substitutes. Human vascular endothelial cell growth factor (hVEGF 165 ) gene was constructed to an eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3. Transfection of recombinant vector pcDNA3 hVEGF 165 into human dermal fibroblast cells was performed. VEGF protein level in the supernatant of transfected fibroblasts culture was determined. Its biological activities were tested by observing the growth rate of the human umbilical vein endothelial cells/HUVEC after being stimulated with the said supernatant, and by performing the Miles assay in guinea pigs. The results showed that these transgenic cells were able to secrete VEGF to certain extent, with biological activities to enhance the growth of HUVEC in vitro and improve vascular permeability. It indicated that transgenic fibroblasts could resurface the dermal substitute of a composite skin.

A rat model of metabolic syndrome was induced by high glucose plus high fat diet and treated by tea polyphenols for 10 weeks.The results showed that the levels of fasting blood glucose,triglyceride,cholesterol,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,and free fatty acid in tea polyphenols treatment group were significantly lower than those in control group(all P<0.05),along with decreased TNF-α,IFN-γ,iNOS mRNA and protein expressions,and IL-1β protein expression in pancreatictissue (all P<0.05).Under electron microscope,more secretory granules in islet beta cells and impoveddisorganization of cellular organ were shown in tea polyphenols treatment group compared with metabolic syndrome group.The results suggest that tea polyphenols are able to protect islet β cells against oxidative damage via inhibiting the production of inflammatory cytokines.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic value of18F-FDG PET/CT by calculating maximal standard uptake values(SUVmax) in patients with pancreatic carcinoma of TOMO knife radiotherapy.Methods:Sixty five cases of pancreatic carcinoma who underwent18F-FDG PET/CT scan before TOMO radiotherapy were reviewed retrospectively, the18F-FDG uptake of primary tumors was measured with the SUVmax. SUVmax<3.0 was divided into group A(32 cases), SUVmax≥3.0 was divided into group B(33 cases), the relationship of SUVmax and other clinical factors with the survival of the 65 patients were analyzed.Results:By Log-rank univariate analysis showed that the differences in group A(SUVmax<3.0) and group B(SUVmax≥3.0) in patiengts with middle survival time was statistically significant(15.5:7 months)atP=0.001. TNM stages(x2=6.625,P<0.010), CA19-9(x2=10.298,P<0.001) and GTV dose(x2=8.054, P<0.005) were also statistically different at (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the SUVmax and preoperative serum CA19-9 level were independent risk factors that prevent the long-term survival of the prognosis of patients in this group.Conclusion: SUVmax has a certain clinical value in predicting the prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer, and can guide clinical diagnosis and treatment planning, and extend the lifespan of patients with pancreatic carcinoma.
