Dysregulation of cell metabolism, especially glucose metabolism, is implicated in tumorigenesis and tumor progression.Cancer cells uptake a large amount of glucose and prefer to perform glycolysis in the cytosol even under normal oxygen condition, which fuels fast cell growth and proliferation.Dysregulation of glucose metabolism leads to tumorigenesis and promotes cancer development.Conversely, the initiation and development of cancer reprograms glucose metabolism to confer cancer cells the ability to survive and proliferate.Oncogenes, tumor suppressors or non-coding RNAs could regulate glucose metabolism.Meanwhile, the enzymes and metabolites involved in glucose metabolism could regulate the expression of factors related to cancer.Enzymes, the direct executor of cell metabolism, play a key role in dysregulation of glucose metabolism, tumorigenesis and tumor development.

In the process of promoting the implementation and transformation of the Q3D guideline of the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) in China, the risk assessment of elemental impurities in naturally sourced excipients often faces challenges such as multiple types of elemental impurities and insufficient detection methods. In this paper, an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) method for screening 12 elemental impurities in titanium dioxide was established using the optimized acid extraction pre-treatment method. The accuracy and repeatability of the method were good. The recoveries of cadmium, lead, mercury, cobalt, nickel, lithium, barium, molybdenum, copper, chromium and iron were 83.6%−101.6%, the recovery of antimony was 54.1%, and the RSD was 1.1%−10.2% (n=6). The evaluation results of elemental impurities showed that the risk of cadmium, mercury, cobalt, nickel, lithium, barium, molybdenum, copper, chromium and antimony was low, while the risk of lead was high, and it is recommended that a lead salt test be added to the pharmacopoeia standard for this product. Based on the statistical data, the differences in the control levels of elemental impurities and whiteness of 29 batches of titanium dioxide samples from 10 domestic and foreign manufacturers were compared and analyzed. The Pearson correlation coefficient method was used to analyze the correlation between residual elemental impurities and whiteness, and a heat map was used to visualize the results. The results showed that whiteness was significantly negatively correlated with the amount of residual barium and the sum of residual elemental impurities. It is suggested that the manufactures should include whiteness as an internally controlled indicator to further improve the quality of titanium dioxide used as a pharmaceutical excipient.

OBJECTIVE To observe the protective effect and underlying mechanism of total ginsenosides (TG) on bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. METHODS Intratracheal instillation of bleomycin 5 mg · kg-1 was conducted to establish a pulmonary fibrosis mouse model. Kunming mice(1/2 males and 1/2 females)were randomly divided into sham-operation(Sham),model,total ginsen?osides 40,80 and 160 mg·kg-1 and prednisone acetate(5 mg·kg-1) groups. After 28 d administration,the histopathological changes in the lung were analyzed by hematoxylin eosin(HE)and Masson staining. The exprssion of alpha smooth muscle actin(α-SMA)in the lung was detected by real-time PCR. The content of hydroxyproline(HYP)and glutathione(GSH),level of total antioxidant capacity(T-AOC)and hydroxy radical(·OH),activity of myeloperoxidase(MPO)and nitric oxide synthase(NOS)in the lung were detected by corresponding kits. RESULTS Compared with the sham group,the pulmonary indexes in model group were significantly increased(P<0.01),alveolitis and pulmonary fibrosis were obvious. The mRNA expression ofα-SMA,content of HYP and · OH,activity of MPO and NOS were increased(P<0.05),but the content of GSH and T-AOC in model group was decreased(P<0.05). Compared with model group,the pulmonary indexes in TG 80 and 160 mg · kg-1 and prednisone acetate 5 mg · kg-1 groups were reduced(P<0.05),and the degree of alveolitis and pulmonary fibrosis was mitigated. The mRNA expression ofα-SMA,content of HYP and · OH, the activity of MPO and NO were decreased (P<0.05),while the content of GSH and T-AOC was increased(P<0.05). CONCLUSION TG can improve the degree of mice pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin. The mechanism may be related to the increased antioxidant capacity of organisms.
