Objective To investigate the effects of intensive insulin therapy on the functions of vascullar endothelial cells in septic patients. Methods One hundred and twenty septic patients were randomly assigned to intensive insulin therapy 1 ,intensive insulin therapy 2 and conventional insulin therapy, serum von Willebrand factor (vWF),thrombomodulin protein(TM),endothelin-1 (ET-1) and nitric oxide(NO) of the three groups of patients were determined by enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay double antibody sandwich principle (ELISA) before treatment and the next 3 d,7 d after treatment. At the same time we observed the three groups of patients with 28-d mortality, the days of hospitalized in ICU, number of days for using mechanical ventilation, △ APACHE Ⅱ score and △MODS score. Results After treatment of 3 days,vWF was (142.57 ± 10.07)%, (137.32 ±9.66)% and (138. 32 ± 8. 80) % in the CIT, IIT1 and IIT2 group, respectively. After treatment of 7 days, vWF was (126.27 ±10.49) %, (116. 55 ± 9. 36) % and (120.72 ± 9. 53) % in the CIT, IIT1 and IIT2 group, respectively. After treatment of 3 days, TM was (6. 87 ± 1.62) μg/L, (5.95 ± 1.60) μg/L and (6. 17 ± 1.33) μg/L in the CIT, IIT1and IIT2 group, respectively. After treatment of 7 days, TM was (4. 55 ± 1.48) μg/L, (3.35 ± 0.94) μg/L and(3. 87 ± 1.20) μg/L in the CIT, IIT1 and IIT2 group, respectively. After treatment of 3 days, ET-1 was (61.27 ±9. 20) ng/L, (55.97 ± 9.03) ng/L and (57. 37 ± 7. 70) ng/L in the CIT, IIT1 and IIT2 group, respectively. After treatment of 7 days, TM was (43. 12 ± 6. 17) ng/L, (33.77 ± 6. 20) ng/L and (35.95 ± 5.73) ng/L in the CIT, IIT1and IIT2 group, respectively. Compared with conventional insulin therapy, vWF, TM and ET-1 were significantly decreased (P < 0.05), NO were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in IIT1 and IIT2, but the two sub-groups had no significant difference (P > 0.05). In the CIT, IIT1 and IIT2 groups respectively, the mortality at 28 days were 20.0%, 12. 5 % and 45.0%, the days of hospitalized in ICU were (9.50 ± 3. 70) d, (7. 72 ± 3.29) d and (8.02 ±2. 90) d, number of day for using mechanical ventilation were (8. 92 ± 3.79) d, (7.23 ± 3. 32) d and (7. 37 ±3. 29) d, △ APACHE Ⅱ score were 8. 87 ± 3.46,7. 20 ± 2. 81 and 7.42 ± 3. 18, △ MODS score were 4. 15 ± 2. 15,3.20 ± 1.48 and 3.32 ± 1.74, with significant differences (P < 0.05). These indices were significantly decreased (P < 0.05) in IIT1 and IIT2, but the two sub-groups also had no significant differences (P > 0.05). Conclusions Intensive insulin therapy on patients with sepsis has a protective effect of vascular endothelial cells, and the blood glucose controlled in the 6. 6 - 8. 3 mmol/L can significantly decrease the incidence of hypoglycemia, and intensive insulin therapy can also significantly improve the prognosis of patients with sepsis.

Esophageal cancer is a cause of cancer mortality and accounts for the sixth most common cause of cancer-related death. The focus of recent study has shifted towards testing novel agents that target specific molecular abnormalities known to occur in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The preclinical studies involving various cancer models, including ESCC, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) over-expression, are linked to epithelial cell proliferation, differentiation and migration, and have an inverse relationship to tumor chemotherapy curability. Nimotuzumab is a humanized anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody that binds to the extracellular domain of the EGFR and inhibits EGF binding. In many phase Ⅱ trials, nimotuzumab showed marked antiproliferative, proapoptotic and antiangiogenic effects in tumors that overexpress EGFR. Some phaseⅢtrials are ongoing.
