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.

In the process of promoting the implementation and transformation of the Q3D guideline of the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) in China, the risk assessment of elemental impurities in naturally sourced excipients often faces challenges such as multiple types of elemental impurities and insufficient detection methods. In this paper, an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) method for screening 12 elemental impurities in titanium dioxide was established using the optimized acid extraction pre-treatment method. The accuracy and repeatability of the method were good. The recoveries of cadmium, lead, mercury, cobalt, nickel, lithium, barium, molybdenum, copper, chromium and iron were 83.6%−101.6%, the recovery of antimony was 54.1%, and the RSD was 1.1%−10.2% (n=6). The evaluation results of elemental impurities showed that the risk of cadmium, mercury, cobalt, nickel, lithium, barium, molybdenum, copper, chromium and antimony was low, while the risk of lead was high, and it is recommended that a lead salt test be added to the pharmacopoeia standard for this product. Based on the statistical data, the differences in the control levels of elemental impurities and whiteness of 29 batches of titanium dioxide samples from 10 domestic and foreign manufacturers were compared and analyzed. The Pearson correlation coefficient method was used to analyze the correlation between residual elemental impurities and whiteness, and a heat map was used to visualize the results. The results showed that whiteness was significantly negatively correlated with the amount of residual barium and the sum of residual elemental impurities. It is suggested that the manufactures should include whiteness as an internally controlled indicator to further improve the quality of titanium dioxide used as a pharmaceutical excipient.

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.
