1.Research progress of insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia promoting pancreatic cancer
Journal of Preventive Medicine 2021;33(11):1122-1126
Pancreatic cancer is a common digestive tract carcinoma. It is strongly occult and lack of early diagnostic indicators, and the patients have quite low survival rates. The pathogenesis of pancreatic cancer remains unclear. It has been reported that smoking, family history, diabetes mellitus and obesity are associated with the incidence of pancreatic cancer; moreover, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) often occur as a comorbidity. Insulin resistance and compensatory hyperinsulinemia are the main metabolic characteristics of T2DM, which play an important role in the development and progression of pancreatic cancer. The molecular mechanisms of insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia promoting pancreatic cancer are reviewed in this paper, in order to provide the evidence for the prevention and treatment of pancreatic cancer.

Objective To evaluate the effects of isoflurane anesthesia on the cognitive function and expression of translocator protein 18 kDa ( TSPO) in the brain tissues of aged rats. Methods Twelve pathogen?free male Sprage?Dawley rats, aged 20 months, weighing 500-550 g, were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n=6 each) using a random number table: control group ( group C) and isoflurane anesthesia group ( group I) . The rats inhaled 2% isoflurane in 100% O2 for 4 h in group I, or 100% O2 for 4 h in group C. The rats underwent Morris water maze test at 24 h after anethesia. The escape latency and frequency of crossing the original platform were recorded. Then the rats were sacrificed, and the hippocampus and cerebral cortex were isolated for determination of the expression of TSPO and Iba1 by Western blot and quantitative real?time reverse transcriptase?polymerase chain reaction. Results Compared with group C, the escape latency was significantly prolonged, the frequency of crossing the original platform was decreased, and the expression of TSPO and Iba1 protein and mRNA in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex was up?regulated in group I ( P<0. 05 ) . Conclusion Isoflurane anesthesia results in decreased cognitive function through up?regulating the expression of TSPO in the brain tissues of aged rats.

Naive and chronically infected C57BL/6 mice were challenged percutaneously over the ear pinna with Schistosoma japonicum cercariae. After 15 hours, the number of EOS increased significantly in the skin of chronically infected mice. Inflammatory cells aggre-gated in the vicinity of schisto.somula or entrapped intact and disintegrated schistosomula, forming granulocytic micro-abscesses in both groups. Ultrastructure studies revealed that flattened EOS tightly attached to the schistosomulum surface and degranulated. Local tegument damage occurred in the area of attacbment. NEU adherence did not seem to be as intimate as EOS, and degranulation was not seen. The tegument of the attached schis-tosoniulum remained normal. The result suggested that EOS appeared to be the efficient killer cell against skin phase schistosomula of S. japonicum (Figs. 1-6).

Background As assessment of the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) has been an important approach for detecting structural damage in patients with glaucoma and myopia is a vital risk factor of primary open glaucoma,it is urgent to establish the correlation between RNFL thickness and myopia,not only for understanding the characteristics of RNFL with the change of the degree of myopia,but also for identifying those myopic patients with the early stage of glaucoma.Objective This study was to assess the influence of myopia for the thickness of RNFL measured by 3D optical coherence tomography (3D-OCT).Methods Two hundred and fifty-eight eyes of 258 myopic subjects from General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University were recruited.The myopic eyes were divided into low myopia group (42 eyes,-0.5 D ≤ SE ≤-3.0 D),middle myopia group (120 eyes,-3.0 D<SE≤-6.0 D),high myopia group (58 eyes,-6.0 D<SE≤-8.0 D) and extreme high myopia group (38 eyes,SE >-8.0 D).The peripapillary RNFL thickness profile including temporal,superior,nasal and inferior quadrants and each of the 12 clocks was measured by 3D-OCT.The measured values were compared among different degrees of myopia,and the correlations between spherical equivalent (SE) and axial length with RNFL thickness were analyzed using linear regression equation.Results The RNFL thickness was gradually declined with the increase of SE and elongation of axis,showing significant differences among the 4 groups in the superior,nasal and inferior quadrants and mean RNFL thickness (F=10.48,15.60,3.31,8.98,all at P<0.05),but temporal RNFL thickness was increased with the SE rise,with markedly difference among the 4 groups (F =2.92,P =0.03) ; and RNFL thicknesses in the superior,nasal,inferior quadrants and mean RNFL thickness were evidently declined in the high and extreme high myopia group in comparison with low myopia group (all at P<0.05).The overall RNFL parameters at 1:00,2:00,3:00,4:00,5:00,6:00,8:00,12:00 o'clock sectors were thinning as the increase of SE (all at P<0.05) and unchanged at the 7:00,9:00,10:00,11:00 sectors in different SE groups (all at P> 0.05).Negative correlations were found between axial length or SE with the RNFL thicknesses at superior,nasal and inferior quadrants,average thickness as well as 1:00,2:00,3:00,4:00,5:00,6:00,11:00,12:00 o 'clock,and positive correlation was seen between the axial length or SE with the RNFL thicknesses at temporal quadrant.Conclusions The thickness of RNFL varys with the different degree of myopia and axial length.
