Autophagy is a dynamic process which subcellular membranes undergo morphological changes that lead to the degradation of cellular cytoplasmic organelles and macromolecules.It is regulated by themammalian target of rapamycin ( mTOR ) -dependent or -independent signaling pathways.It has been demonstrated that autophagy is induced or inhibited in various tumor cells,and it is closely related with cell survival and drug resistance.Because of the complex relationships with cell death,the roles of autophagy in cancer developnent,treatment,and drug-resistance are not the same,and thus controlling autophagy properly may become one of new means of cancer therapy.

Objective To explore the application value of susceptibility weighted imaging (SWD) in the Parkinson disease (PD) diagnosis by analysis the changes of brain iron content of the basal ganglia and red nucleus.Methods Totally 56 cases of patients with PD and 40 cases of normal control group were diagnosed by SWI with the 3.0 T magnetic resonance imaging system,the corresponding phase image by using SWI processing software was obtained,the signal values of the various regions of the brain basal ganglia and red nucleus were measured and compared.Results In comparison of PD group with normal control group,the signal values showed differences in caudate (0.05±0.01 vs.0.04±0.01,t=1.991),putamen(-0.42±0.13 vs.-0.25±0.07,t=2.544) and globus pallidus(-0.23± 0.07 vs.-0.11±0.02,t=2.893) (all P＜0.05).Conclusions Determining the iron deposition signal of the various regions of the brain basal ganglia by SWI is valuable in the clinical diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.

Objective To evaluate the efleet of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII)combined with mefformin hydroehloride( Met H)on type 2 diabetic patients. Methods 240 patients with type 2 diabetes melli-tus (T2DM) were divided into 3 groups randomly: CSII combined with Met H ( A group: n=80) ; simple CSII ( B group:n=80) ; multiple deliver insulin (MDI) ( C group: n=80). The levels of blood glucose, HbA1 e, therapeutic time, a-mount of insulin, Fins ,C-P, HOMA-IR and IAI were compared among them before and after 10d of treatment. Results GroupA, B eornpared with group C, the levels of HbA1 e significantly deeroased in other two groups [ ( 8.0±3.2)%vs. (6.9±1.4)% and(7.0±1.2)% ] (aU P<0.05),so did the therapeutic time[(6.0±1.9)d vs. (3.0±1.4) and(3.5±1.5) d] and insulin dose[ (55.0±17.0) U/d vs. (38.0±15.0) U/d and(45.0±16) U/d] (all P<0.05). The insulin dose was much less in group A than in group B. Versus group B and C,the HOMA-IR of group A (0.8±0.3 vs. 1.5±0.4 and 1.6±0.4)decreased(P<0.05) ,and IAI(-2.0±4.3 vs. -3.6±4. 2 and -4.1±4.3) increased (all P<0.05), without the function impairments of heart, liver or kidney. Conclusion CSII in combi-nation with mefformin hydreehloride can significantly enhance the treatment effect of the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitns; reduce blood glucose and HbA1 e, improve insulin resistenee,lessen insulin need.

OBJECTIVE:To probe into the optimum condition and dosage of activated carbon in the preparation of arilin injection.METHODS:The impacts of activated carbon of different dosage at different temperature,different storage time and different pH value of preparation on the contents of arilin injection were investigated and analyzed statistically.RESULTS:Positive correlation was found between the descending degree of the contents of arilin and the dosage of the activated carbon(P

Most patients with allergic conjunctivitis in children are vernal keratoconjunctivitis.Dry eye accompanied with al- lergic conjunctivitis in children is correlated with the decline of tear film stability.However,tear film stability decline is correlated with eosinophilic activation and concomitant release of inflammatory mediators.Moreover,conjunctival epithelial,goblet cells and tear film are damaged,then dry eye occur.Main symptom of dry eye in children is twinkling frequency increasing,followed by eye itch,eye red and photophobia.When allergic conjunctivitis in children is diagnosed,dry eye should be considered at the same time.Proper manage- ment for those allergic conjunctivitis can decrease ocular surface damages.

BACKGROUND:Bone turnover markers are the products in the blood or urine in the process of bone reconstruction, which can be used to evaluate bone resorption and bone formation rate, thereby indicating potential bone diseases. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the effect of exercise on the levels of bone turnover markers in the blood and urine samples. METHODS:Databases of PubMed and Wangfang were retrieved with key words of“bone formation, bone resorption, alkaline phosphotase, osteocalcin PICP, PINP, hydroxyproline, pyridinoline, tartrate resistant acid phosphatase”by screening titles and abstracts to search papers related to exercise effects on the biological markers of bone formation. Final y, 48 papers were discussed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The effect of exercise on bone turnover refers to the influence on bone formation and bone resorption. Exercise enhances or inhibits the activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, and accelerates or delays bone reconstruction by promoting or inhibiting the growth of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. In recent years, exercise exhibits more and more influence on the bone. Bone turnover markers compared with bone mineral density show changes earlier. By measuring the levels of bone turnover markers in blood and urine samples, it help us to understand the metabolism of bone tissue, to evaluate bone metabolic state, osteoporosis diagnosis classification, predicting of fracture risk, to observe the curative effect of drug treatment, and to diagnosis the metabolic bone differential disease.

Objective To investigate the genotypes and epidemic of metallo-β-lactamase-(MBL )-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P .aeruginosa)in Changsha.Methods P .aeruginosa isolated from seven comprehensive hospitals in Changsha were collected and performed identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing,pheno-types of MBL were detected with EDTA-disk synergy test and E-test,genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR),homology analysis were conducted by enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus PCR (ERIC-PCR).Results Preliminary screening by EDTA-disk synergy test and E-test showed that only 10 of 81 iso-lates were strong positive;PCR result showed that 18 isolates were positive for MBL,11 of which were IMP-9-type MBL,1 was IMP-1-type,and 6 were VIM-2-type.SIM,SPM,GIM,and NDM-1-types were not found.ERIC-PCR showed that 12 strains of IMP-producing P .aeruginosa has multiple types,6 VIM-2-producing strains were of the same type.Conclusion IMP-9 and VIM-2 are main genotypes in P .aeruginosa in Changsha.

Biological therapy for cancer has became a highpoint in recent years.It has been widely applied in clinical field.Management of their unique toxicities becomes more and more important.Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is a potentially life-threatening toxicity.This review discusses the mechanisms that cause CRS,and new developments in the prevention and treatment of CRS.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of polyethersulfone highlux dialyzer for maintenance hemodialysis patients. Methods Thirty-six maintenance hemodialysis patients were randomizedresigned into two groups,polyethersulfone 14HF(PES-14HF)group and polyethersulfone 150DS(PES-150DS)group,based on a random number table. The patients from two groups received different dialyzer hemodialysis for over 3.5 hours/each time respectively. Changes of serum creatinine,urea,β2-microglobulin,hemoglobin and albumin levels were measured for determination of the efficacy and safety evaluation. Results In the comparison between before or after hemodialysis,the level of serum creatinine,urea,β2-microglobulin levels decreased significantly to(333.8 ± 89. 5)μmol/L,(7. 0 ± 1.9)mmol/L,(22. 9 ± 1.7)mmol/L from(990. 2 ± 191.2)μmol/L,(24. 7 ± 4. 1)mmol/L,(13.6 ± 3.3)mmol/L respectively in the PES1 4 HF group(P ＜ 0.01);the level of serum creatinine,urea,β2-microglobulin levels decreased significantly to(395.5 ± 86.1)μmol/L,(8. 1± 2. 8)mnol/L,(18.0 ± 3.0)mmol/L from(1059. 5 ± 179. 4)μmol/L,(25.3 ± 4. 8)mmol/L,(22. 3 ± 2. 9)mmol/L respectively in the PES-150DS group(P ＜ 0. 01). We found no significant differences in each measured index between two types of hemodialysis(P ＞ 0. 05 respectively),while the level of β2 -microglobulin levels decreased more significantly in the PES14HF group(42. 81 ± 12. 48)mg/L than PES-150DS group(24. 21 ± 13. 24)mg/L(P =0. 017). Conclusions The efficacy and safety of the PES-14HF hollow fiber membrane hemodialyzer is equivalent to that of the PES-150DS hemodialyzer in hemodialysis for uremic patients.
