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.

Kinesin-2 family proteins, including KIF3A, KIF3B, KIF3C and KIF17, are members of the kinesin superfamily motor proteins , which transport various proteins and vesicles in the cell and play diverse biological functions . Recently, studies on members of kinesin-2 family proteins suggest that they play fundamental roles during ciliary transport , whose defects can lead to abnormal cilia development , the major cause of human ciliopathies .In this review , we will sum-marize the functions of this motor protein family during ciliogenesis and focus mainly on their roles in the development of model organisms .

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of preemptive analgesia with parecoxib for acute postoperative pain after pulmenary lobectomy.MethodsSixty ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients of both sexes aged 20-64 yr weighing 50-80 kg undergoing elective pulmonary lobectomy were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n =20 each): control group (group C); group A (parecoxib 40 mg was injected iv at 20 min before surgery) and group B (parecoxib 40 mg was injected iv when skin was sutured).Patient controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) with sufentanil and ramosetron (continuous background dose 2 ml/h,bolus dose 0.5 ml,lockout time 15 min) was used after surgery.When VAS score ＞ 3,iv bolus of tramadol 1-2 mg/kg was injected as rescue medicine.Agitation condition was observed after operation.The number of successfully delivered doses and the number of attempt were recorded.The consumption sufentanil and the number of rescue medicine were recorded during 24 h after surgery.ResultsThe incidence of postoperation agitation,number of successfully delivered doses and number of attempt,consumption sufentanil and number of rescue medicine were significantly lower in groups A and B than in group C.The consumption sufentanil and number of rescue medicine were significantly lower in group A than in group B ( P ＜0.05).ConclusionParecoxib can use for preemptive analgesia in patients after thoracic surgery,reduce the complication during anesthesia recovery and the opioid analgesics consupmtion.

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).

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.

Objective Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells ( BMSCs) , a kind of stem cells with multiple differentiation po-tentials, exist in the bone marrow and other organizations.This study aimed to investigate the repairing effect of the exogenous basic fi-broblast growth factor ( bFGF) against chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD) and its action mechanism, and to determine the expression of the bFGF gene in transfected rat BMSCs. Methods BMSCs were isolated, cultured and identified.The recombinant plasmid bFGF-pcDNA3.1 was constructed and sequenced.Liposome-mediated bFGF-pcDNA3.1 plasmid was transfected into the BM-SCs of the rat (bFGF-pcDNA3.1 transfection group), liposome-mediated pcDNA3.1 transfected into the BMSCs (pcDNA3.1 transfec-tion group) , and untransfected BMSCs used as the control.G418 screening was performed for 14 days.The gene and protein expres-sions of bFGF were determined by qRT-PCR and Western blot. Results The full-length sequence of the bFGF gene was consistent with that of the GenBank.The expression of the bFGF gene was significantly higher in the bFGF-pcDNA3.1 transfection group (7.028 ±0.568) than in the pcDNA3.1 transfection group (1.000 ±0.082) and the non-transfection control (1) (P<0.01), but with no statistically significant difference between the latter two groups (P>0.05).The expression of the bFGF protein was also re-markably higher in the bFGF-pcDNA3.1 transfection group (1.017 ±0.054) than in the pcDNA3.1 transfection group (0.217 ± 0.009) and the non-transfection control (0.165 ±0.013) (P<0.05), with no statistically significant difference between the latter two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Mediated by the liposome reagent, the recombinant eukaryotic expression vector bFGF-pcD-NA3.1 can be transfected into rat BMSCs and expresses the bFGF gene and protein.

Objective To study the effects of electromagnetic field (EMF) on the activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their interaction, and to explore the cellular signal transduction mechanism of the biological effects induced by EMF.Methods The 3rd-passage rat bone marrow MSCs were randomly divided into a control group, an EMF group, an EMF + PD98059 group and an EMF + SB202190 group.Cells in the EMF group were cultured in the electromagnetic field, those in the EMF + PD98059 and EMF + SB202190 groups cultured in the electromagnetic field after PD98059 or SB202190 was added, and those in the control group were cultured normally.Different groups of cells were exposed to electromagnetic fields (15 Hz, 1 mT, sine wave form) for different exposure duration.The activated phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated p38MAPK were measured using Western blotting analysis with their specific corresponding antibodies.The alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in cells in different groups was detected according to the instructions of ALP kit.MTT assay was applied to investigate the proliferation of cells.Results Electromagnetic fields could rapidly induce the activation of p38 MAPK (P ＜ 0.05) and the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK elevated after 15 min exposure to EMF.The phosphorylation of p38 MAPK was significantly lower in the EMF + SB202190 group than that of the EMF group.After 5 days of EMF exposure, the ALP activity of cells was significantly improved, and the effect could be inhibited by SB202190.The bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells proliferation increased significantly after being exposed to EMF for 3 days, and it could not be blocked by SB202190.Phosphorylation of ERK and MAPK increased significantly when the p38 MAPK pathway was blocked by SB202190 and exposed to EMF for 5 minutes, and it also increased significantly when the ERK MAPK pathway was blocked by PD98059 and received 30 minutes of EMF exposure.Conclusion EMF can quickly activate ERK and p38 MAPK pathways to induce cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.Moreover, in EMF there is a mutual interference between ERK and p38 MAPK pathways.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical value of the rate of fetal urine production rate (UPR) in fetus with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome(TTTS).Methods 22 continuative normal monochorionic diamniotic(MCDA) twin fetuses were selected as controll group.Eight fetuses with TTTS were selected as disease group,and UPR was measured by three-dimensional ultrasound virtual organ computer-aided analysis (VOCAL) and the rate of UPR in twin was calculated.Results1)The rate of UPR of twin fetuses in MCDA did not vary significantly throughout pregnancy (0.97 ± 0.28).The correlation coefficient between the rate of UPR and gestational age was 0.13,without obvious correlation.2)The rate of UPR-recipient/UPR-donor in TTTS fetuses increased significantly compared with MCDA twin fetus (7.83 ± 2.61,t =6.19,P ＜0.05).ConclusionsThe rate of UPR may be an important index in the assessment of TTTS.
