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.

Objective To investigate the effects of Leptin on the base of anthropometry,densitometry,and biochemistry and reveal the role of Leptin in bone metabolism in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis (OP).Methods From January 2008 to January 2014,data of 82 postmenopausal females with or without OP were analyzed.They were randomized into two groups:OP (n=40) and conditional control group (CON) (n=42).The expression of Leptin receptors in osteoblasts was observed by immunohistochemistry.1 × 10 ng/ml,1 × 102 ng/ml,1 × 103 ng/ml,1× 104 ng/ml of Leptin were added respectively.Then the proliferation,differentiation and mineralization of osteoblasts were measure at 24 h,48 h and 96 h.The gene expressions of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) derived osteoblasts and adipocytes treated with Leptin were examined by quantitative analysis of Real time-PCR.Results The expression of Leptin receptors in osteoblasts was observed on plasma membranes and cytoplasm in the normal group and osteoporosis group.In osteoporosis group,different concentrations of Leptin enhanced cell proliferation,cell differentiation and cell mineralization.The growth rate of MTT and the concentration of ALP in the serum of were significantly increased with the effects of 1×10 ng/ml,1×102 ng/ml and 1×103 ng/ml of Leptin,and the action of 1×102 ng/ml Leptin was the most powerful with time dependence.Within 96 hours,the growth rate of osteoblasts increased gradually,and the concentration of ALP increased gradually in 3 weeks.The expression of RANKL/OPG in bone marrow BMSCs derived osteoblasts treated with Leptin were significantly increased.Conclusion Leptin receptor is present in osteoblasts,and Leptin affects biological behaviors of osteoblasts through receptors.The direct effect of Leptin may relate the expression of RANKL/OPG.Then,the balance between bone resorption and bone formation was broken and finally osteoporosis occurred.Lepin may promote osteogenesis and inhibit bone resorption in the differentiation of BMSCs.

Aim To investigate the protective effects of omapatrilat on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) injury induced by angiotensin Ⅱ (AngⅡ) in culture. Methods Cultured HUVECs were randomly divided into 4 groups:①control; ②AngⅡ;③omapatrilat and ④AngⅡ+omapatrilat. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage was evaluated by spectrophotometer and cell cycle by flow cytometry (FCM); Nitric oxide (NO) was measured by colorimetry and endothelin-1 (ET-1) by radioimmunoassay. Results 10 -7 mol?L -1 AngⅡ significantly increased LDH leakage and ET-1 release, and this increase was inhibited by omapatrilat (10 -6 mol?L -1). Omapatrilat promoted HUVECs proliferation and NO release. Conclusion Omapatrilat can protect human umbilical vein endothelial cells injury induced by angiotensin Ⅱ in culture, suggesting that it may play an important role in prevention and treatment of vascular diseases.

0.05). Logistic multiple regression analysis showed T242 allele, body mass index, fasting blood glucose, HbAlc, Homa-IS, systolic blood pressure were risk factors of type 2 diabetic nephropathy. Conclusions p22phox C242T gene polymorphism is associated with diabetic nephropathy in Shanghai people. p22phox subunit T allele mutation is pnobabaly one of predisposing genes of type 2 diabetic nephropathy, and p22phox A640G gene polymorphism is not associated with diabetic nephropathy in Shanghai people. T242 allele, fasting blood glucose, HbAlc, Homa-IS, systolic blood pressure are risk factors of type 2 diabetic nephropathy.

Objective: To investigate the predictors of subjective well-being (SWB) in older adults. Methods: 236 old people in Beijing were assessed on 7 potential predictors chosen from 2 taxonomies of resources-internal vs. external and physical vs. psychological.Results: There was no relationship between age and SWB. Perceived social support, health status and general self-efficacy correlated significantly with subjective well-being(?=0.27,0.19,0.15); perceived social support, health status and general self-efficacy have direct impact on subjective well-being, perceived social support and health status have secondary impact on subjective well-being through the factor general self-efficacy as well.Conclusions:The external factors can influent the SWB both directly and indirectly.
