Objective In vitro detection of anti-proliferative effects of P161 combined with cisplatin ( DDP) on multiple cancer cells. Methods Growth inhibition rates of HepG2, HT29, IE8, Panc-1 and MA-782 treated by different concentrations of DDP,P161 and P161 combined with DDP were determined by MTT assay. Results DDP and P161 dose-dependently inhibited proliferation of multiple tumor cells. A synergistic effect was found in DDP combined with P161 and there was a significant difference in the effect between DDP combined with P161 and DDP alone (P<0. 05). DDP dose could be decreased to reach the same inhibitory effect. In the same concentration gradient of DDP combined with P161,the inhibition rate of Panc-1 was low and that of MA-782 was high. Conclusion P161 can increase the sensitivity of tumor cells to DDP. The combination of P161 and DDP can reduce the effective therapeutic concentration of DDP.

ObjectiveTo analyze therapeutic efficiency of 125 iodine brachytherapy seeds implantation guided by flexible fiber-optic bronchoscopy(FFB)image in terminal central non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC).MethodsUnder therapy planning system (TPS) and guided by flexible fiber-optic bronchoscopy image,125 iodine seeds were implanted in 66 Confirmed terrainal cases with NSCLC and its posology Was validated and rechecked regularly.Remlts Complete remission (CR) was observed in 15 cases and partial remission (PR) in 36 cases during the first-year follow-up,with an overall efficiency rate (CR+PR) of 77.3 percent and one-year survival of 80.3 percent.Complete remission (CR) was observed in seven cases,partial remission (PR) in 22 cases,stable condition (SC) in three cases.and no progression was found during the second-year follow-up,respectively,with an overall efficiency rate (CR+PR) of 90.6 percent and two-year survival of 43.8 percent No radioactive damage were observed in the early and late stages of therapy.ConclusionsTherapy with radioactive 125 iodine seeds implantation guided by flexible fiber-optic bronchoscopy image could relieve airway obstruction effectively in terminal lung cancer and control progression of bronchiogenic carcinoma.

Objective:To investigate the association between pulse pressure(PP) and new-onset diabetes in overweight and obese people.Methods:A prospective cohort study was conducted in overweight or obese participants selected from Kailuan Study who underwent 2006-2007 annual checkup and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. PP was calculated by blood pressure and participants were divided into 4 groups according to PP quartile. The cumulative incidence of new-onset diabetes of different PP groups was calculated by Kaplan- Meier method and compare by Log- Rank test. The multivariate Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the association between different PP groups and new-onset diabetes. Results:During an average follow-up of 8.45 years, 8 922 diabetes was identified. The cumulative incidence rate of the Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 groups were 22.12%, 24.48%, 27.97%, and 33.44% respectively, which were statistically different( χ2=368.16, P<0.01). Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that after adjusting for multiple confounding factors, compared with Q1 group, the hazard ratio for diabetes in Q2, Q3, and Q4 groups were 1.07(1.00-1.14), 1.13(1.05-1.21), and 1.17(1.09-1.27) respectively. And the HR of diabetes event in pulse pressure(per 1 SD increase) was 1.04(1.02-1.07). Similar results were found in participants who were over-weight, obese, with normal blood pressure or hypertensive without drugs use. Conclusion:PP is positively correlated with the new-onset diabetes. High PP is one of the risk factors for developing diabetes in overweight and obese people.

OBJECTIVE: To summarize newborn screening for methionine adenosyltransferase I/III (MAT I/III) deficiency in Quanzhou region of Fujian Province. METHODS: A total of 364 545 neonates were screened for inherited metabolic diseases by tandem mass spectrometry. High-throughput next generation sequencing combined with Sanger sequencing was used to detect potential variants in newborns with MAT I/III deficiency. Pathogenicity of suspected variants was predicted by using MutationTaster and HSF software. RESULTS: Three newborns were identified with MAT I/III deficiency by newborn screening, which yielded an incidence rate of 1 in 121 515. Amino acid and acylcarnitine analysis suggested that the serum methionine of the three patients have increased to various extents. All patients showed normal growth and development during follow-up, and were found to carry MAT1A gene variants including two missense variants [c.776C>T (p.Ala259Val) and c.791G>A (p.Arg264His)] and a synonymous variant [c.360C>T (p.Cys120Cys)]. Among these, c.776C>T (p.Ala259Val) and c.791G>A (p.Arg264His) were known to be pathogenic, whereas c.360C>T (p.Cys120Cys) was a novel variant. Bioinformatics analysis suggested that this variant may alter RNA splicing and affect the structure and function of the MAT1A protein. CONCLUSION A systematic review of newborn screening for MAT I/III deficiency was provided. Discovery of the novel variant has enriched the variant profile of the MAT1A gene and provided a basis for the diagnosis of this disease.

BACKGROUND: Evidence on the relations of the American Heart Association's ideal cardiovascular health (ICH) with mortality in Asians is sparse, and the interaction between behavioral and medical metrics remained unclear. We aimed to fill the gaps. METHODS: A total of 198,164 participants without cancer and cardiovascular disease (CVD) were included from the China Kadoorie Biobank study (2004-2018), Dongfeng-Tongji cohort (2008-2018), and Kailuan study (2006-2019). Four behaviors (i.e., smoking, physical activity, diet, body mass index) and three medical factors (i.e., blood pressure, blood glucose, and blood lipid) were classified into poor, intermediate, and ideal levels (0, 1, and 2 points), which constituted 8-point behavioral, 6-point medical, and 14-point ICH scores. Results of Cox regression from three cohorts were pooled using random-effects models of meta-analysis. RESULTS: During about 2 million person-years, 20,176 deaths were recorded. After controlling for demographic characteristics and alcohol drinking, hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) comparing ICH scores of 10-14 vs. 0-6 were 0.52 (0.41-0.67), 0.44 (0.37-0.53), 0.54 (0.45-0.66), and 0.86 (0.64-1.14) for all-cause, CVD, respiratory, and cancer mortality. A higher behavioral or medical score was independently associated with lower all-cause and CVD mortality among the total population and populations with different levels of behavioral or medical health equally, and no interaction was observed. CONCLUSIONS ICH was associated with lower all-cause, CVD, and respiratory mortality among Chinese adults. Both behavioral and medical health should be improved to prevent premature deaths.
