Tumor cells can metabolize glucose through glycolysis to intermediates for biomacromolecule synthesis by inhibiting the activity of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) in mitochondria. In this process, pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases (PDKs) play a key role. The inhibition of the activity of PDKs can effectively block this metabolic pathway, activate mitochondrial oxidative metabolism, and induce tumor cell apoptosis. PDK inhibitors have become a research hotspot in medicinal chemistry, and novel structures targeting classical binding sites have been synthesized. In this paper, recent research progress on PDK inhibitors is reviewed to provide information on these latest entities and to explore their clinical applicability.

OBJECTIVETo assess the clinical effectiveness of volar and radial column approach by plate fixation for the treat- ment of unstable fracture of distal radius.
METHODSAccording to Cochrane Systematic Review, Medline, Embase, Cochrane Li- brary, CNKI and CBM, randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of volar and radial column approach by plate fixation for the treat- ment of unstable fracture of distal radius were searched for from 1966 to 2014. Data analysis was performed with the Cochrane Collaboration's RevMan 5.0 software.
RESULTSTotally 391 patients of 6 RCTs and 2 retrospective cohort studys were included and divided into volar plate group (187 cases) and radial column plate group (204 cases). Meta-analysis result showed: compared with radial column plate group, volar plate group had significant difference in recovery of wrist function [SMD = 0.74, 95% CI (0.47, 1.01), P < 0.00001], Gartland-Werley scores [SMD = -1.39, 95% CI (-2.24, -0.53), P = 0.001], postoperative neural in- jury [OR = 3.67, 95% CI (1.37, 9.84), P = 0.01 1 and postoperative wrist pain [OR = 0.32, 95% CI (0.13, 0.74), P = 0.008]. But no significant difference was identified in DASH scores [SMD = -0.36, 95% CI (-0.97, 0.26), P = 0.25], radiographic result assess- ment [SMD = -0.18, 95% CI (-0.53, 0.16), P = 0.3], postoperative grip strength [SMD = 0.71, 95% CI (-0.12, 1.54),P = 0.09], postoperative tendinous damage [OR = 0.31, 95% CI (0.10, 0.98), P = 0.05] and carpal tunnel syndrome [OR = 0.96, 95% CI (0.63, 1.48), P = 0.87].
CONCLUSIONCompared with radial column plate internal fixation, volar approach plate fixation for treat- ment of distal radius intra-articular fracture has advantage of recovery of joint functionand. However, the volar approach plate fix- ation was associated with a higher risk of long-term complications than the radial column approach plate fixation.

ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of Serratia marcescens(S. marcescens), and to provide the scientific evidence supporting clinical diagnosis and treatment.MethodsThe antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed in 104 strains of S. marcescens by agar dilution method. The results were judged according to the criteria recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) 2010.The data were analyzed by chi square test. Results The majority of S. marcescens were isolated from sputum specimens,accounting for 59.6% (62/104). The bacteria were most frequently isolated from department of respiratory (33.7%,35/104),followed by intensive care unit (23.1%,24/104),department of gerontology (16.3%, 17/104). The results of antimicrobial susceptibility test showed that the resistance rates of S.marcescens against ampicillin,gentamicin and cephazolin were high,which were 90.4%,86.5% and 79.8%,respectively; those against the 3rd generation of cephalosporins were 24.0%-43.3%. No imipenem and meropenem resistant strains were identified. Compared with cefoxitin-resistant strains,the resistance rates of non-cefoxitin resistant strains against piperacillin (82.9% vs 28.6%),ceftazidime (63.4% vs 9.5%),aztreonam (68.3% vs 9.5%),amikacin (68.3% vs 20.6%),ciprofloxacin (48.8% vs 19.1%) and chloramphenicol (90.3% vs 58.7%) were all lower (all P < 0.05 ). Conclusions S. marcescens is one of the most common conditional pathogenic bacteria leading to nosocomial infections,which is resistant to many kinds of antimicrobial agents.The surveillance of antimicrobial resistance in S. marcescens should be strengthened for purpose of preventing the transmission of multidrug resistant strains.
