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.

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.

Objective To investigate the effect of different doses of ioversol on renal function,and to explore early renal injury biomarkers on contrast induced kidney injury and safe ioversol dosage.Methods A total of 158 cases (98 males and 60 females) undergoing cerebral vascular intervention (CVI) in our department was selected with age ranging from 23 to 81 years old (average age 59.70 ± 12.02).Based on ioversol dosage in surgery,patients were divided into three groups:low dose group (≤ 150 ml,n =49),middle dose group (151-200 ml,n =74),and high dose group (＞200 ml,n =35).U-κ,U-λ,urinary transferrin (UTRF),urine microalbumin (UMA),urinary immunoglobulin IgG (UIgG),urine beta2-microglobulin (Uβ2-MG),Uα1-MG,urinary N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (UNAG),plasma cystatin C (CysC) and Scr were detected by scattering turbidimetry,immune turbidimetry and fully automatic biochemical analysis pre-surgery 24 h and post-surgery 72 h.Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) was defined as laboratory increase of Scr value≥44.2 μmol/L or ≥25％ from baseline measurement at 48 hours after surgery.The relationship in ioversol dosage and various factors was assessed by Single and multiple factors binary logistic regression analysis.Results According to the criterion that Scr increase value were ≥44.2 μmol/L,of 158 cases,3 cases occurred CI-AKI,the AKI incidence was 1.90％.Based on the criterion that Scr increase value was ≥25％,33 cases occurred CI-AKI,the incidence was 20.89％.The concentration of U-κ,UTRF,Uα1-MG,UNAG and plasma CysC were significantly different in high dose group compared to low ioversol dose group (P ＜ 0.05),while the other biomarkers had no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The contrast media-ioversol could lead to CI-AKI;when the dosage of ioversol was more than 200 ml one-time,the concentration of U-κ,UTRF,Uα1-MG,UNAG and plasma CysC increased significantly.U-κ,UTRF,Uα1-MG,UNAG and plasma CysC could predict the early renal injury in patients who undergoing CVI.The rise of U-κ,UTRF,Uα1-MG,UNAG and plasma CysC are related to the dosage of ioversol.Furthermore,possibility of kidney injury is significantly high when ioversol dosage is more than 200 ml one-time.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of uteroplasty aided with temporary balloon occlusion of abdominal aorta in treating pernicious placenta previa combined with placenta percreta.Methods Sixty-two third-trimester gravidas who were diagnosed as pernicious placenta previa combined with placenta percreta by prenatal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 1,2013 to May 31,2016 were enrolled in this study.All of them received cesarean section and then underwent uteroplasty following temporary balloon occlusion of abdominal aorta.Efficacy of that treatment was evaluated from the perspectives of blood loss,operation time,complications and postoperative recovery.All data were analyzed by descriptive analysis.Results All of the 62 cases were diagnosed with placenta percreta during operation including 10 cases (16.1％) with perimetrium invasion,46 cases (74.2％) with invasion to the muscular layer of bladder and six cases (9.7％) with bladder invasion.The average blood loss of all cases during and within 24 hours after operation was (1 377.3±605.2) ml and (140.6±66.3) ml,respectively.The average operation time was (72.3 ±24.5) min and the average length of postoperative hospital stay was (5.8± 1.6) d.The six cases of placenta percreta with bladder invasion received bladder repair.Sixty-one cases had their uterus preserved and the other one case had a sub-total hysterectomy due to amniotic fluid embolism.One woman developed phlebothrombosis in her lower limbs after operation.No intestinal or ureteral injury,puerperal infection,uterine ischemia necrosis or death was reported.In addition to three cases lost to follow-up,the other 59 patients were followed up to May 31,2017.Results of physical examination indicated that the 59 cases had normal uterine involution after operation.Menses returned in 58 of the 59 cases without any difference from before,and did not return in one case due to breastfeeding.Conclusion Uteroplasty aided with temporary balloon occlusion of abdominal aorta is a safe and effective uterus-preserving surgery for patients with pernicious placenta previa combined with placenta percreta.

Objective To investigate CT and MRI features of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP).Methods Totally 16 patients with DFSP confirmed by pathology were enrolled.Tumor morphology,CT and MRI imaging appearance (11 cases underwent plain and enhanced CT,5 cases underwent plain and enhanced MRI) were analyzed retrospectively.Results DFSP usually occurred in the skin of truck,head and neck,protruding from the skin surface in different extent.Some lesions even suspended out of the skin.The lesions were divided into nodular type (n=12) and diffuse type (n=4) according to their morphological appearance.The tumors usually demonstrated as iso-density or slightly low density solid mass compared to muscle on CT.On MRI,it usually demonstrated as low signal on T1WI and high signal on T2WI.Tumor blood supply was rich,and it usually showed progressively moderate to strong enhancement.The signs within DFSP include hanging sign (n=2),skin tail sign (n＝6),fascia tail sign (n=l),fat tail sign (n=4).Conclusion DFSP can be characterized by nodular or diffuse lesions,the manifestations of different form are slightly different,but still have a certain characteristic.

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.
