Pancreatic adenocarcinoma ( PAC) is still a refractory human digest malignancies due to multi-faceted causes ,late diagnosis and insensitive to traditional chemo -and radio-therapy .Resistance to apoptosis could be one of the most relevant mechanisms for PAC to escape any non -surgical therapy .This review aims to clear up the main deregulated apoptosis signal pathways over the years and to find out the abnormal molecule tar -get(s),and therefore,provide novel concepts for PAC molecular targeting therapy .

Objective To investigate the feature of cerebral glucose metabolism of Alzheimer's disease (AD)and dementia with lewy bodies (DLB).Methods 28 patients with AD and 25 patients with DLB underwent positron emission tomography (PET)with 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG)showing glucose metabolism.The region of interest (ROI)was selected from frontal cortex,temporal cortex,parietal cortex,occipital cortex,cerebellum cortex and corpora striata.The 18 F-FDG metabolism ratios between various cerebral regions and cerebellum cortex were compared as an indicator of regional cerebral glucose metabolic patterns.Results The FDG metabolism ratio of parietal cortex and temporal cortex decreased similarly in AD.The FDG metabolism ratio of frontal cortex,parietal cortex,temporal cortex,occipital cortex,dorsal caudate putamen and caudate nucleus in AD was [(0.861 ± 0.173),(0.625 ± 0.149),(0.598 ± 0.185 ),(0.914 ± 0.214),( 1.030 ± 0.084)and ( 0.997 ± 0.102 )].The FDG metabolism ratio of frontal cortex,parietal cortex,occipital cortex,temporal cortex and corpus striatum decreased similarly in DLB.The FDG metabolism ratio of frontal cortex,parietal cortex,temporal cortex,occipital cortex,dorsal caudate putamen and candate nucleus in DLB was [ (0.538 ±0.147),(0.615 ±0.138),( 0.587 ±0.142),(0.415 ±0.107 ),(0.685 ± 0.094)and (0.547 ± 0.103 )].The FDG metabolism ratio of frontal cortex,occipital cortex and corpus striatum decreased more significantly in DLB than in AD (P<0.01 ).Conclusion There are discrepancies in cerebral glucose metabolism between AD and DLB.These features may be useful in differential diagnosis of these two kinds of dementia.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and coagulation parameters of the infants with placental abruption . Methods Analysis was made on clinical and laboratory indexes of the hospitalized children of the NICU of Bayi Clinical Medical College of South Medical University ,enrolled from August 2012 to January 2013 ,including 60 infants with placental abruption as observation group and 60 infants without placental abruption as the control group .Results From clinical manifestations and lab date ,significant differences were found in gestational age ,polyembryony ,premature rupture of membrane ,birth weight ,intrauterine growth retardation ,motherhood gestational hypertension ,mother gestational diabetes mellitus ,asphyxia ,APTT ,D-dimer on admis-sion between the observation group and control group (P<0 .05) .Conclusion Placental abruption is the result of placental insuffi-ciency ,which may cause coagulation disorder and thus show the pathological state of high condensation in infants .

Objective To study the changes of blood arginine vaso-pression(AVP)levels in patients with severe brain injury after treated with mild hypotherima.Methods Seventy-eight patients with severe brain injury were divided into mild hypothermia(33~35℃)group and normothermia group.The blood AVP levels and CSF AVP levels were determined at the third and the seventh day after brain injury.Results The AVP levels in blood and CSF of mild hypothermia group were lower than those of the normothermia group at the third and seventh day after brain injury(P<0.05).According to GOS,prognosis of the mild hypothermia group was better than that of the nonnotbcrmia group(P<0.05).Conclusion The mild hypothermia treatment may have inhibitive effects on the production of blood AVP,CSF AVP,and brain edema.Mild hypothermia is an effective method in the treatment of acute severe brain iniury in reducing the mortality and in increasing the survival rate.

Hepatocellular carcinoma ( HCC ) is one of the commonest malignant tumors in China .The therapeutic effects of conventional therapies including surgery resection at early stage ,chemotherapy or radiothera-py are greatly less than expected .One of the most possible reasons is the blockage of apoptosis in HCC cells .This review collects literatures about the studies on the roles of key signal pathways including RA ,STAT3,PDT,p53,β-catenin,TRAIL,microRNA and RAS in HCC therapy .This study may contribute greatly to providing outline in-sights for using apoptosis induction in liver cancer therapy .We hope it can promote the development liver cancer therapy in China .

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) on evaluation effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in advanced gastric cancer. Methods 3.0 T MRI DWI examination was performed in 42 cases of advanced gastric cancer diagnosed by gastroscopy and pathology, including 32 patients were examined with DWI both before and after chemotherapy. Lymph nodes of gastric cancer lesions and display ability of stomach were measured, and the area of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in normal stomach and tumors were compared. ADC values were compared in the same patients before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and analyzed along with postoperative pathological examinations. Results In a total of 40 patients who received 74 DWI examinations, ADC values in tumor and lymph nodes were significantly higher than those in normal tissue. The ADC value in tumors was (1.348 ±0.278) ×10-3 mm2/s, and in 12 cases of stomach lymph node enlargement was (1.329±0.188) ×10-3 mm2/s. However, the average ADC value of normal stomach was (2.081± 0.189) ×10-3 mm2/s with significantly lower DWI than that of the former (P< 0.001). After chemotherapy, the ADC value in tumors was increased, which was (1.572 ±0.261) ×10-3 mm2/s (P< 0.001). After neoadjuvant chemotherapy, 16 patients received gastric cancer radical prostatectomy, and postoperative pathological TRG ratings of tumor were decreased with different extent. Tumor cell density (TCD) before treatment with an average of 4.45 ×10-5 / px2, which was downgraduated to 2.48 ×10-5 / px2 after chemotherapy and surgery. Negatively correlation between TCD values and ADC values were observed. Conclusion MRI DWI examination can effectively detect advanced stomach cancer and the associated lymph node enlargement. Comparison of tumor morphology and ADC values in advanced gastric cancer before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy has clinical value in prognosis.
