Dysregulation of cell metabolism, especially glucose metabolism, is implicated in tumorigenesis and tumor progression.Cancer cells uptake a large amount of glucose and prefer to perform glycolysis in the cytosol even under normal oxygen condition, which fuels fast cell growth and proliferation.Dysregulation of glucose metabolism leads to tumorigenesis and promotes cancer development.Conversely, the initiation and development of cancer reprograms glucose metabolism to confer cancer cells the ability to survive and proliferate.Oncogenes, tumor suppressors or non-coding RNAs could regulate glucose metabolism.Meanwhile, the enzymes and metabolites involved in glucose metabolism could regulate the expression of factors related to cancer.Enzymes, the direct executor of cell metabolism, play a key role in dysregulation of glucose metabolism, tumorigenesis and tumor development.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the inhibitive effect of Photodynamic therapy (PDT) with different parameters on dental caries formation in rats.MethodsWistar rats were infected with S.mutans to establish the rat caries mode 1.The rat's teeth were treated with 0.9% NS and 0.2% NaF as controls;laser,photosensitizer and laser plus photosensitizer,respectively as treated groups.Hematoporyrin monomethyl ether(HM ME) was used as photosensitizer and laser as the light source.The rats were sacrificed after five weeks.Keyes count was used to measure the inhibitory effect of PDT on dental caries.The surface morphology of the teeth was evaluated by scan electronic microscopy(SEM).Results The PDT-treated group and NaF-treated group showed significantly reduced Keyes scores compared with the negative controls (P＜0.05).The laser-treated group,photosensitizer-treated group and NS-treated group showed no significantly reduced Keyes scores compared with the negative controls (P＜0.05).The differences of Keyes scores between various parameter PDT treated groups were significant (P＜0.05).Additionally,Keyes scores reduced gradually with the increasing of laser power.The outcome of SEM showed that the teeth treated with different laser powers exhibited different changes in morphology.Conclusion HMMEPDT had significant inhibitive efficacy on caries development in rats and its inhibitory effect presented close correlation with the power of laser,which indicates that it is important to apply appropriate power in clinical treatment.

Aim To explore the effects of Yupingfeng polysaccharide(YPF-P)on T cells of adjuvant arthritis(AA)in rats.Methods Freund's complete adjuvant was used to induce AA in rat.Secondary paw swelling of AA rats was measured with volumeter.Peripneral blood lymphocyte proliferation response induced by concanavalin A(ConA)was examined with MTT assay.The CD4+ and CD8+ T cell in peripheral blood were detected by flow cytometer.ELISA method was applied to determine the content of factor IFN-? and radio-immunity assay of factor IL-4.RT-PCR procedures were utilized to determine the expression of IFN-? mRNA.Results 80,160 mg?kg-1 YPF-P could singnificantly inhibit the secondary paw swelling of AA rats.The suppressesion of lymphocyte proliferation of peripheral blood T cell in AA rats was reversed.After treatment by YPF-P,the number of CD4+ cell and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ markedly decreased.The level of IFN-? in YPF-P treating group was obviously decreased in comparison with that of model control group,while the level of IL-4 was increased.The mRNA expression of IFN-? was inhibited as well.Conclusion Yupingfeng polysaccharide can regulate the turbulence of periphery abnormal T cell subgroups of adjuvant arthritis rats and can recover Th1/Th2 balance to move towards Th1,which may be one of its mechanisms of inhibiting the secondary paw swelling.

Postoperative surgical site infection (SSI) can lead to adverse clinical outcomes in patients, such as prolonged hospital stay, increased medical costs, and severe economic burden on patients and on society.In addition, it may also cause nosocomial cross-infection.Therefore, it has aroused the high attention of medical workers.The development of SSI is closely related to a variety of factors, including patient factors, such as blood glucose levels, smoking, systemic use of steroids, obesity and malnutrition, and perioperative related factors, such as long preoperative hospital stay, preoperative skin preparation and prophylactic use of antibiotics of patients, hand hygiene and asepsis principles of medical staff, operation-related factors, anesthetic management and operation related factors, operating room environment factors and postoperative factors.Through reading a large number of relevant literatures published in recent years and according to the work characteristics of anesthesiologists, the author summarized the influential factors and preventive measures for postoperative SSI for the reference of fellow doctors.

BACKGROUND: It has been recently found that endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) can promote injured endothelial healing. There is a supposition that in-stent restenosis possibly correlates with the number and/or activity of EPCs.OBJECTIVE: To comparatively observe the number and activity of circulating EPCs in patients with and without coronary in-stent restenosis, and to verify the above-mentioned supposition.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: This study, a comparative observation, was performed at the Department of Internal Medicine, Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Department of Internal Medicine, First Hospital, Peking University, and Department of Physiology and Pathophysiology, Peking University Health Science Center between March 2005 and May 2007.PARTICIPANTS: According to the coronary angiography, 15 patients were recruited into the restenosis group and 17patients with patent stents were selected into the control group.METHODS: Total peripheral mononuclear cells were isolated from blood of patients with restenosis or control subjects by Ficoll density-gradient centrifugation. These cells were plated on dishes coated with human fibronection. After 7 days in culture, the nature of adherent cells was confirmed by direct fluorescent staining with the use of 1,1'-dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanide percholate-labelled acetylated low-dencity lipoprotein and fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled ulex europaeus agglutinin-Ⅰ under a laser scanning confocal microscope. Cells demonstrating double-positive fluorescence were identified as differentiating EPCs.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: After 7 days of culture, EPCs were counted under an inverted microscope. Proliferation of EPCs was determined using the MTT colorimetric assay. Migration of EPCs was assayed using the scratch assay qualitatively. EPCs adhesion was performed by replating cells on fibronectin-coated dishes and then counting the adherent cells.RESULTS: The number of EPCs was significantly reduced in patients with in-stent restenosis compared with that in the control group (P = 0.001). The proliferative activities were impaired in the in-stent restenosis group than in the control group(P < 0.05). In addition, the migrative activities were also impaired in the in-stent restenosis group, but no significant difference in adherent activities existed between the two groups (P > 0.05).CONCLUSION: The number and functional activities of proliferation and migration of EPCs were decreased in patients with in-stent restenosis, which may be related to the number and/or activities of EPCs.

Objective To explore the impact and value of 11C-MET PET/CT for high-grade glioma in making conformal radiotherapeutic planning compared with MRI.Methods From October 2011 to September 2013,11C-MET PET/CT and MRI were performed in 25 initial glioma cases and 9 recurrent cases.All 34 cases (19 males,15 females) were classified into initial group (n=17),initial surgery group (n=8) and recurrent group (n=9).GTV was outlined using PET/CT images combined with T1 weighted MRI images.Results 11 C-MET PET/CT optimized radiotherapy targets in 22 cases,including 7 initial cases,8 initial surgery cases and 7 recurrent cases.GTV was consistent with the volume of abnormally enhanced region on T1 weighted MRI (VMRI) in 10 initial cases,GTV＞VMRI in 5 cases,and GTV＜VMRI in 2 cases.GTV＜VMR1 in the initial surgery group.GTV was consistent with VMRI in 2 recurrent cases,GTV＞VMRI in 2 cases and GTV＜VMRI in 4 cases; 1 recurrent case's GTV located largely outside the VMRI.Conclusions There are some differences on locating the lesions of high-grade gliomas between 11C-MET PET/CT and MRI.Using 11CMET PET/CT in sketching radiotherapy target could significantly optimize the high grade glioma's radiotherapeutic planning,which may be more valuable in recurrent or operative cases.

Objective To investigate the value of Q-analysis real-time elasticity in differentiating between benign and malignant thyroid nodules. Methods Eighty-six thyroid nodules in 62 patients with pathologic diagnosis were included in this study and were examined using Q-analysis real-time elasticity. The real-time elasticity features were observed and the quantitative index including the whole elasticity rate and the local elasticity rate were compared between benign and malignant nodules. Results There were 51 benign and 35 malignant nodules according to histopathological examination. The Q-analysis curve of real-time elasticity of benign nodules was smoother and with lower peak, compared with that of malignant nodules. The whole elasticity rate of malignant nodules were significantly higher than that of benign nodules (3.59±0.84 vs 2.32±0.56, P=0.000). And the local elasticity rate of malignant nodules were significantly higher than that of benign nodules (3.96±1.32 vs 2.39±0.58, P=0.000). The cutoff point of whole elasticity rate for the differential diagnosis was 3.25 with sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy as 71.4%, 96.1% and 86.0% respectively. The cutoff point of local elasticity rate for the differential diagnosis was 3.45 with sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy as 68.6%, 96.1% and 84.9% respectively. The diagnostic efficiency of whole elasticity rate and local elasticity rate had no significant difference (P=0.591).Conclusions Q-analysis real-time elasticity could provide the real-time elasticity features of thyroid nodules. The whole and local elasticity rate as the quantitative index contributed to the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules.

Objective To improve the diagnostic accuracy of primary renal rare benign tumors by exploring and analyzing the CT/MRI and clinical pathologic features.Methods 9 patients with primary renal rare benign tumors pathologically proven lesions after operation who had CT or MRI exams with contrast were enrolled in our hospital.The radiological and clinical pathological features of all tumors were analyzed respectively.Results The cases were the mixed epithelial and stromal tumor of kidney (MESTK),cystic nephroma(CN),renal leiomyoma(RL)and renal oncocytoma(RO)respectively.Location:6 cases were in left kidney and 3 in right kidney.Size:long diameter 2.5-8.9 cm,mean 5.7 cm;short diameter 2.5-8.4 cm,mean 4.9 cm.The tumor shape included oval(n=7) and irregular(n=2).9 cases protruded from the renal surface.MESTK showed polycystic lesions on preconstrast,various degrees of cystic wall and septum enhancement were detected on enhancement scans.CN showed cystic lesions and calcification on preconstrast, slight septum enhancement were detected on enhancement scans.RL showed heterogeneous density or signal with patchy necrosis and clear border on precontrast,the obvious enhancement was found on cortex and medullary phase and slight washout enhancement was detected on excretory phase.RO showed heterogeneous hypointense on T1 WI,hyperintense on T2 WI and mixed isodensity and hypodensity on CT precontrast.Slight delayed enhancement was found in central scar and washout enhancement was detected in parenchyma on three phases.Conclusion There are some special CT/MRI characteristics for primary renal rare benign tumors,which could improve their diagnosis and differential diagnosis combined with the clinical pathological features.

OBJECTIVE To observe the protective effect and underlying mechanism of total ginsenosides (TG) on bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. METHODS Intratracheal instillation of bleomycin 5 mg · kg-1 was conducted to establish a pulmonary fibrosis mouse model. Kunming mice(1/2 males and 1/2 females)were randomly divided into sham-operation(Sham),model,total ginsen?osides 40,80 and 160 mg·kg-1 and prednisone acetate(5 mg·kg-1) groups. After 28 d administration,the histopathological changes in the lung were analyzed by hematoxylin eosin(HE)and Masson staining. The exprssion of alpha smooth muscle actin(α-SMA)in the lung was detected by real-time PCR. The content of hydroxyproline(HYP)and glutathione(GSH),level of total antioxidant capacity(T-AOC)and hydroxy radical(·OH),activity of myeloperoxidase(MPO)and nitric oxide synthase(NOS)in the lung were detected by corresponding kits. RESULTS Compared with the sham group,the pulmonary indexes in model group were significantly increased(P<0.01),alveolitis and pulmonary fibrosis were obvious. The mRNA expression ofα-SMA,content of HYP and · OH,activity of MPO and NOS were increased(P<0.05),but the content of GSH and T-AOC in model group was decreased(P<0.05). Compared with model group,the pulmonary indexes in TG 80 and 160 mg · kg-1 and prednisone acetate 5 mg · kg-1 groups were reduced(P<0.05),and the degree of alveolitis and pulmonary fibrosis was mitigated. The mRNA expression ofα-SMA,content of HYP and · OH, the activity of MPO and NO were decreased (P<0.05),while the content of GSH and T-AOC was increased(P<0.05). CONCLUSION TG can improve the degree of mice pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin. The mechanism may be related to the increased antioxidant capacity of organisms.
