Because of the changed metabolic behaviors of cancer cells, tumor cells uptake a corresponding larger amount of glucose in physiological condition when compared with normal cells. And they were prone to metabolize glucose for generating energy in anaerobic glycolysis ways in order to grow quickly. Anaerobic glycolysis consumes more glucose than aerobic way when the same amount of energy is obtained, which also results in large demand of glucose in tumor cells. This review briefly describes therapy methods related to characteristic mentioned above, and summarizes the research progress of drugs, diagnostic reagents and carriers conjugated with glucose, glucose derivatives or other kinds of sugars for cancer targeting. Furthermore, typically relative research reports from 2012 till now were listed and analyzed.

Objective To investigate the results of follow-up visits of pregnancy course, delivery and infants of women who got clinically pregnant by assisted reproductive technique after gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) added for luteal support, and to analyse the influence of adding GnRH-a in luteal support on the safety of mother and infant. Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out on the medical record from 215 patients who got clinically pregnant after luteal phase long regimen fresh-cycle transfer was operated. According to the differences in luteal support methods, the patients were assigned to Group A (124 patients, progesterone+dydrogesterone group), Group B (91 patients, GnRH-a added group). The patients′ pregnancy course, delivery time, and the growth and development of infants within 1-2 years were followed up. Results (1)There was no obvious difference between Group A and Group B in terms of the abortion ratio during the early pregnancy (8.1%, 12.1%), the rate of abortion villous deformity (50.0%, 9.1%), the rate of heterotopic pregnancy (10.5%, 5.5%) and rate of twin pregnancy (19.4%, 28.6%;all P>0.05).(2)Compared to group A, during the middle and late pregnancy of single or twin pregnancy in Group B , there was no obvious difference in the rate of fetal chromosomal abnormality, organ malformation incidence, late abortion rate and stillbirth rate (all P>0.05).(3)As to childbirth, in the case of twin pregnancy, there was a higher rate of premature delivery (60.0%, 39.1%;P=0.041), as well as rate of lower birth weight of newborn (56.0%, 34.8%; P=0.037) in group B.(4)The statistics on general growth and development as well as infantile common diseases within 2 years after birth indicated that there was no obvious difference between the two groups in single birth and twin birth subgroup (all P>0.05). Conclusion On the basis of controlling of implanted embryos and reducing the occurrence of twins, GnRH-a luteal support maybe relatively safe and effective.

Objective:To explore the effects of health education based on reinforcement theory combined with empowerment theory in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) .Methods:From January 2018 to January 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 80 COPD patients admitted to the Respiratory Department of Lishui Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine as the subject. Patients were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group with 40 cases each in a 1∶1 ratio using the random number table. The control group received routine health education and psychological intervention, while the observation group was treated with health education based on reinforcement theory combined with empowerment theory. The pulmonary rehabilitation compliance, Short Form of the Profile of Mood States (POMS-SF) and Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP) scores before and after intervention were compared between two groups.Results:After intervention, the total score and all dimension scores of pulmonary rehabilitation compliance in both groups were higher than those before intervention, and the observation group scored higher than the control group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). After intervention, the energy-vitality scores of the two groups were higher than those before intervention, the observation group scored higher than the control group, and the scores of other dimensions were lower than those before intervention, the observation group scored lower than the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). After intervention, the scores of HPLP in all dimensions in both groups were higher than those before intervention, and the observation group scored higher than the control group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Health education based on reinforcement theory combined with empowerment theory for COPD patients can enhance their rehabilitation compliance, effectively improve their mental state, and promote the development of healthy behaviors.

Objective To explore the establishment and operating mode of hospice care beds in the cancer center of a tertiary general hospital and to evaluate its operating effects preliminarily. Methods Totally 3 hospice care beds were set up in the Cancer Center of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School in October 2016. The operating mode of hospice care beds in the Class Ⅲgeneral hospital was explored by building a hospice care team, performing professional training, formulating admission and transfer standards, standardizing working processes, refining service contents and quality standards and establishing a community referral system. Totally 49 patients admitted in the hospice care beds from October 2016 to August 2018 were selected. The satisfaction with symptom control and medical services and the degree of psychological pain were compared before and after hospitalization in the hospice care beds. The patients' referral was statically analyzed. Results The satisfaction with symptom control in the 49 patients after hospice care was higher than that before hospice care except for hematemesis and hematochezia, edema and delirium could not be statistically analyzed because the sample size was too small (P<0.05). The overall satisfaction with medical services rose from (2.88±0.99) to (4.96±0.19);psychological pain decreased from (4.37±1.32) to (1.37±0.73);and the sum of daily hospitalization costs dropped from (899.21±128.46) yuan to (355.16±50.73) yuan (t=10.84, 23.60, 11.34;P< 0.01). Conclusions The establishment of hospice care beds in the cancer center of the tertiary general hospital provides a place of hospice care for cancer patients, connects the patients with community resources, and improve the patients' satisfaction with medical services.
