The abnormal glucose metabolism of tumor cells is associated with a variety of mechanisms.Hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) is able to activate the glycolytic enzymes,which is conducive to getting energy through glycolysis.The dysfunction or the depletion in numbers of mitochondria can inhibit the oxidative phosphorylation pathway of glucose to some extent.The activation of oncogenes and the inactivation of tumor suppressor genes are also involved in the regulation of mitochondrial respiratory chain and glycolytic enzymes,thus affecting the process of glucose metabolism.Compared with normal cells,the synthesis of oxidative phosphorylation enzymes is inhibited in cancer cells.In addition,the abnormal glucose metabolism plays an important role in the growth,invasion and metastasis of tumor cells.

The core problem of current rural health services is a governance problem, that is, how the basic rural health resources can be used more effectively. Based on the study of history and reality, this paper suggests that in the existing “government-market” framework, the village is the third perspective worthy of consideration. Inside the village community, the trust, network and cooperation between people which were based on the traditional rural acquaintances society capital and the institutional resources in the organizations at the primary level will be able to in-crease the degree of organization, thereby reducing the transaction costs between the government or the market and rural residents. The village power will be able to better take advantage of government and market mechanisms, and thus solve the problem of rural health resource utilization more effectively.

Objective To explore the effects of dichloroacetate (DCA) combined with cisplatin on the apoptosis of HCT116 and possible mechanisms.Methods The inhibitory effects of DCA and cisplatin alone or in combination on colorectal carcinoma cell line HCT116 were examined by MTT and Hoechst 33342 staining,the mitochondrial membrane potential changes were measured by Rodanmine123 staining under fluorescent microscope.The expression of bcl-2 was checked by qPCR.The activity of caspase-3 was assayed.Results DCA or cisplatin alone could inhibit the growth of HCT116 in a time and dose dependent manner.Compared with single drug treatment,there was significantly synergistic effect after treatment of DCA combined with cisplatin for 48 hours.Compared with the single drug treatment,the nuclear morphological changes such as chromatin condensation and fragmentation were more severe,and the mitochondrial transmembrane potential declines were markedly apparent for DCA + cisplatin group.The expression of bcl-2 gene in combination group was inhibited (P ＜ 0.05),and the activity of caspase-3 significantly increased (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions DCA could inhibit the proliferation and induce the apoptosis of HCT116 cells in a time and dose dependent manner.The combination use of DCA and cisplatin has a synergistic effect on the biological action of HCT116.This may be attributed to lowering of mitochondrial transmembrane potential and the suppressed expression of bcl-2 gene.

Objective To investigate the effects of cholecystokinin (CCK) on diabetes mellitus with cholecystolithiasis. Methods Relevant literatures of recent years were reviewed. Results CCK exists widely in human body.On the one hand, CCK enhances cholecystolithiasis by causing diabetes. On the other hand, its pathological changes can also lead to cholecystolithiasis. Besides, it is possibility that the CCK-related gene abnormality is the common cause of diabetes and cholecystolithiasis. Conclusion CCK plays an important role in diabetes mellitus complicated with cholecystolithiasis. However, there is much yet to be known about CCK.

0.05). Conclusion There is no significant correlation between MVD and perfusion. Neovascularizaton and perfusion are highly presented in early colorectal carcinoma. SCT may be more suitable for assessing tumorigenesis than histological MVD technique.

Nodal signals play important roles in mesendoderm induction, establishment of left-right asymmetry and anteroposterior patterning of the neuroectoderm during vertebrate embryogenesis. It is aimed at identifying Nodal-regulated genes in zebrafish embryos, particularly those encoding transcription factors. A (Affymetrix) genechip analysis was performed using RNAs derived from embryos injected with squint mRNA, MZoep mutant embryos that are deficient in Nodal signaling, and wildtype embryos at the 30% epiboly stage. Transcripts (genes) with at least two-fold changes in expression level between wildtype and the other samples were identified. In squint mRNA-injected embryos, 265 transcripts show an increased expression level and 111 have a decreased expression level; in MZoep embryos, the expression of 1 495 transcripts increases while 550 transcripts express at a decreased level. Furthermore, overexpression of squint causes increased expression of 26 and decreased expression of 11 annotated transcription factor genes; in MZoep embryos, the number of transcription factor genes showing an increase and decrease of expression are 69 and 30, respectively. These results would provide useful information for further studying mechanisms and biological functions of Nodal signal transduction.

OBJECTIVE: To review the progress on cell-penetrating peptides(CPPs). METHODS: Based on the original researches in recent years, the structure properties, classification, internalization mechanism, application and novel research orientation of CPPs were introduced in the present paper. RESULTS: Cell-penetrating peptides(CPPs) consisted of 30 or less amino acids. CPPs, generally categorized as amphipathic or cationic depending on their sequences, are increasingly drawing attention as a non-invasive delivery technology for macromolecules. Delivery of a diverse set of cargoes has been attempted using different types of CPPs in vitroand in vivo. Additionally, the relative lack of toxicity and cell specificity has enabled its widespread use in preclinical models. This paper reviewed the studies on the structure properties, classification, internalization mechanism, application and novel research orientation of CPPs. CONCLUSION: Although the internalization mechanism of CPPs will be studied deeply, CPPs, as a novel drug delivery tool, has promising application for the delivery of diverse drugs and cargoes.

Objective To gain more pathophysiolgic knowledge about acute obstructive hydrocephalus and to explore its rapid and effective treatment by establishing canine acute obstructive hydrocephalus model.Methods Acute obstructive hydrocephalus model was established by injecting cyan-acrylic gel glue into the fourth ventricle via posterior fosse craniotomy in 9 male adult mongrel dogs.At the same time,lateral ventricle catheterization were performed and were fixed on the scalp to connect reservoir bag so that the changes of intracranial pressure (ICP) could be measured dynamically,and the changes of neurological function were observed.Results Acute obstructive hydrocephalus model was successfully established in 6 of the total 9dogs.ICP was (48.2 ± 6.1 ) cm H2 O at 48 hours after the injection and was (56.4 ± 5.7 ) cm H2 O at 72 hours after the injection,it increased 392％ and 459 ％ respectively.And the ICP after injection was significantly different(P ＜ 0.01 )compared with that before injection (12.3 ± 3.1 )cm H2O.Conclusion The establishment of acute obstructive hydrocephalus model has high success rate,and is easy to reduplicate; ICP could be measured dynamically and also could be reduced by releasing CSF;Thus,ventricular drainage is the most rapid and effective treatment for acute obstructive hydrocephalus.

Exosomes secreted by mesenchymal stem cells have shown great therapeutic potential in regenerative medicine .In this study, we performed meta-analysis to assess the clinical effectiveness of using exosomes in ischemia /reperfusion injury based on the reports pub-lished between January 2000 and September 2015 and indexed in the PubMed and Web of Science databases .The effect of exosomes on heart function was evaluated according to the following parameters:the area at risk as a percentage of the left ventricle , infarct size as a percentage of the area at risk , infarct size as a percentage of the left ventricle , left ventricular ejection fraction , left ventricular frac-tion shortening , end-diastolic volume , and end-systolic volume .Our analysis indicated that the currently available evidence confirmed the therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stem cell-secreted exosomes in the improvement of heart function .However , further mechanis-tic studies, therapeutic safety and clinical trials are required for optimization and validation of this approach to cardiac regeneration after ischemia/reperfusion injury .
