Purpose:To investigate the effect of p53 gene transfection and 1,2∶5,6-dianhydro-3,4-diacetylgalactitol (DADAG) on the growth of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). Methods:The HCC line HLE that were transfected with plasmid pUHD10-3 recombined with wt-p53 gene by lipofectamine-mediated were cultured in medium containing DADAG. 3-(4,5-Dimethy-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium-bromid(MTT) technique was used to analyse the growth of HCC cells. Results:The growth of HCC cell line HLE were inhibited after being transfected with wt-p53 gene,and 67.68% of the cells were inhibited on the fourth day. 53.09% of HCC cell line HLE were inhibited when they were exposed to DADAG. When the HCC cell line HLE transfected with wt-p53 gene were exposed to DADAG,85.37% of the cells were inhibited. Conclusions:The inhibition efficiency of HCC was enhanced by the combination of DADAG and wt-p53 gene transfection.

Objective To compare the safety and efficacy of insulin degludec (IDeg) with those of insulin glargine (IGlar) in insulin-naive subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).Methods This was a 26-week,randomized,open-label,parallel-group,treat-to-target trial in 560 Chinese subjects with T2DM (men/women:274/263,mean age 56 years,mean diabetes duration 7 years) inadequately controlled on oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs).Subjects were randomized 2:1 to once-daily IDeg (373 subjects) or IGlar(187 subjects),both in combination with metformin.The primary endpoint was changes from baseline in glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c) after 26 weeks.Results Mean HbA1c decreased from 8.2% in both groups to 6.9% in IDeg and 7.0% in IGlar,respectively.Estimated treatment difference (ETD) of IDegIGlar in change from baseline was-0.10% points (95% CI-0.25-0.05).The proportion of subjects achieving HbA1c < 7.0% was 56.3% and 49.7% with IDeg and IGlar,respectively [estimated odds ratio of IDeg/IGlar:1.26 (95 % CI 0.88-1.82)].Numerically lower rateof overall confirmed hypoglycaemia and statistically significantly lower nocturnal confirmed hypoglycemia were associated with IDeg compared with IGlar,respectively [estimated rateratio of IDeg/IGlar 0.69 (95% CI 0.46-1.03),and 0.43 (95% CI 0.19-0.97)].No differences in other safety parameters were found between the two groups.Conclusions IDeg was non-inferior to IGlar in terms of glycaemic control,and was associated with a statistically significantly lower rate of nocturnal confirmed hypoglycaemia.IDeg is considered to be suitable for initiating insulin therapy in Chinese T2DM patients on OADs requiring intensified treatment.Clinical trail registration Clinicaltrials.gov,NCT01849289.
