In this cross-sectional study, consecutive Chinese Han ethnic inpatients in the Division of Cardiology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2013 were included. According to the exclusion criteria, 9 587 patients [1 604 with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and 7 983 without T2DM]were obtained for final analysis. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association of ApoB/A-1 ratio with T2DM and the possible interactions between ApoB/A-1 ratio and other risk factors. The results showed that the distribution of ApoB/A-1 ratio was positively skewed in Chinese Han ethic population. The median of ApoB/A-1 ratio of female was lower than that of male (0.68 vs 0.73,P<0.01). In all groups, the proportion of T2DM was increased with the raised ApoB/A-1 ratio. By the stratification analyses of sex, age, coronary artery disease, and the use of statins, ApoB/A-1 ratio was still correlated with T2DM. There existed significant interactions between ApoB/A-1 ratio and the smoking status or creatinine in T2DM.

AIM: To test the effect of ERK1/2 on ischemic preconditioning (IPC) in diabetic rat hearts. METHODS: The diabetic rat model was made with alloxan. After eight weeks, 24 rats were divided into 4 groups: non-diabetic IPC rats (group A); non-diabetic non-IPC rats (group B); diabetic IPC rats (group C); diabetic non-IPC rats (group D). ECGⅡ lead, left ventricular development pressure (LVDP), and first derivative of LVDP ~(?dp/dt_~max ) were recorded. Myocardial phosphorylation of extracellular signal regulated kinases1/2 (ERK1/2) was detected by Western-blotting. RESULTS: (1) The ventricular arrythmia score was significantly lower in group A than that in group C (P

In order to investigate the expression and functional role of HERG1 K+ channels in leukemic cells and leukemic stem cells (LSCs), RT-PCR was used to detect the HERG1 K+ channels expression in leukemic cells and LSCs. The functional role of HERG1 K+ channels in leukemic cell proliferation was measured by MTT assay, and cell cycle and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry. The results showed that herg mRNA was expressed in CD34+/CD38-, CD123+ LSCs but not in circulating CD34+ cells. Herg mRNA was also up-regulated in leukemia cell lines K562 and HL60 as well as almost all the primary leukemic cells while not in normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNCs) and the expression of herg mRNA was not associated with the clinical and cytogenetic features of leukemia. In addition, leukemic cell proliferation was dramatically inhibited by HERG K+ channel special inhibitor E-4031. Moreover, E-4031 suppressed the cell growth by inducing a specific block at the G1/S transition phase of the cell cycle but had no effect on apoptosis in leukemic cells. The results suggested that HERG1 K+ channels could regulate leukemic cells proliferation and were necessary for leukemic cells to proceed with the cell cycle. HERG1 K+ channels may also have oncogenic potential and may be a biomarker for diagnosis of leukemia and a novel potential pharmacological target for leukemia therapy.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors of radiation-based sarcopenia in patients with multiple myeloma (MM).Methods:A total of 185 clinical and imaging data of patients with MM admitted to Beijing Chaoyang Hospital from September 2009 to October 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The area of the erector spinae muscle and the area of fatty infiltration (FI) in the fascial compartment were measured by Image-pro Ρlus software, and the area of the fat-free erector spinae muscle and the fat infiltration rate (FI%) were calculated. Sarcopenia was defined as an erector spinae area of less than 3 197 mm 2 in males and 2 895 mm 2 in females. The differences in gender, age, body mass index, disease duration, hemoglobin, leukocytes, platelets, albumin, serum calcium, lactate dehydrogenase, serum creatinine, alkaline phosphatase, M-protein, serum β 2-microglobulin, bortezomib chemotherapy, receipt of stem cell transplantation, osteopathy, stage, recurrence and progression of MM between the sarcopenia group and the normal muscle group were compared. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors of sarcopenia in MM patients. Kaplan-Meier curves were drawn to compare the survival rates between the two groups. Results:53.0% (98/185) of MM patients were complicated with sarcopenia: there were 30 males, whose fat-free erector spinae area was 25.0±6.0 cm 2, the FI of erector spinae was 12.0±4.8 cm 2, and the FI% was 31.5%±12.0%, while there were 68 females, whose fat-free erector spinae area was 22.7±4.2 cm 2, the FI of erector spinae was 10.7±4.1 cm 2, and the FI% was 30.2%±9.8%. 47.0% (87/185) of MM patients had normal muscle mass: there were 62 males, whose fat-free erector spinae area was 40.6±6.5 cm 2, the FI of erector spinae was 9.3±4.8 cm 2, and the FI% was 17.9%±7.4%, while there were 25 females, whose fat-free erector spinae area was 33.6±5.1 cm 2, the FI of erector spinae was 9.9±3.0 cm 2, and the FI% was 21.9%±5.7%. There were statistically significant differences in the gender composition ratio (χ 2=30.47, P<0.001), hemoglobin ( t=-2.73, P=0.007), serum creatinine ( Z=-2.26, P=0.024), receipt of stem cell transplantation (χ 2=4.32, P=0.038), and MM recurrence and progression (χ 2=3.85, P=0.050) between the two groups. However, there were no significant differences in age, body mass index, course of disease, leukocytes, platelets, albumin, alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, serum calcium, M-protein, serum β 2-microglobulin, bortezomib chemotherapy, osteopathy or MM stage ( P>0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that female was an independent risk factor for sarcopenia in MM patients. The survival rates at 2, 3, 4, and 5 years were 87.9%, 71.8%, 64.4%, and 53.7% in the sarcopenia group, and 92.1%, 75.8%, 66.8%, and 66.8% in the normal muscle group, respectively, with no statistically significant differences ( HR=0.71, P=0.364). Conclusion:The incidence of radiation-based sarcopenia in MM patients is 53.0%. Low hemoglobin and blood creatinine levels, not receiving stem cell transplantation, and recurrence or progression of MM are associated with sarcopenia in MM patients, and female is an independent risk factor for sarcopenia in MM patients.

OBJECTIVE To design the implementation path around the key links of the management in the clinical comprehensive evaluation of drug in China， and to provide suggestions for optimizing and perfecting the management in the clinical comprehensive evaluation of drug. METHODS Based on the relevant experience of drug evaluation management in typical countries regions at home and abroad， the discussion was performed and the management mechanism was designed from seven aspects， such as funding source， selection of topics， staff management， information management， data management， evaluation process and quality assessment. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS In terms of funding sources， the financial department can provide funding guarantees or other alternative forms such as performance evaluations to encourage all parties to undertake the clinical comprehensive evaluation of drug projects. In terms of the selection of topics， a “top-down” or “bottom-up” selection mode can be determined according to the project’s nature and actual situation， and a selection process of “forming alternatives-setting up theme selection list-demonstrating and publishing theme selection list” can be formed. In terms of staff management， the specialty of team members should be specified， and the expert team should be established to provide clinical comprehensive evaluation of drug. In terms of information management， the national/provincial basic informational platform should be established， and the registration system should be established. In terms of data management， a regional health data-sharing platform should be formed and the “application-checking-utilization” mechanism should be conducted. In terms of the evaluation process， the evaluation procedures that concern on project implementation plan demonstration system and project closing review system should be constructed. In terms of quality assessment， quality assessment and reward and punishment mechanism for project completion，that consider the quality of management first while focusing on the technical quality， can be established. The management mechanism based on the standardized implementation of the seven key links will standardize the development of clinical comprehensive evaluation of drugs in China to some extent， and help improve the quality of clinical comprehensive evaluation projects for drugs.
