To evaluate the application of nueroelectrophysiological tests in early diagnosis of sub-clinical neuropathy in diabetes mellitus (DM), The routine nerve conductive velocity (NCV), F-wave and sympathetic skin response (SSR) were detected in 27 patients with diabetes mellitus but without symptoms and signs of lesions of nerve system. Our results showed that 48.1%, 44.4%, 51.9% of the patients were found to have abnormal NCV, F-wave and SSR respectively. The abnormalities were mainly characterized by prolonged latency, reduced velocity and absence of wave-form. There were significant differences between the controls and the DM group (P < 0.05). Both the distal and proximal segments of nerves were affected and the distal lesions took place earlier than proximal ones and the changes in low extremities were more severe than those of upper extremities. F-wave can be used as a sensitive indicator for the early diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy and it can help to detect the subclincial lesions. SSR can be used for the evaluation of functional status of autonomic nerves in DM patients.

p70 ribosomal protein S6 kinase (p70S6K), an important member of AGC family, is a kind of multifunctional Ser/Thr kinases, which plays an important role in mTOR signaling cascade. The p70 ribosomal protein S6 kinase is closely associated with diverse cellular processes such as protein synthesis, mRNA processing, glucose homeostasis, cell growth and apoptosis. Recent studies have highlighted the important role of S6K in cancer, which arose interests of scientific researchers for the design and discovery of anti-cancer agents. Herein, the mechanisms of S6K and available inhibitors are reviewed.

Objective By comparing the plasma levels of adiponectin respectively in colorectal carcinoma patients to healthy controls to discuss the relationship between adiponectin and colorectal carcinoma. Methods Plasma samples collected from 38 colorectal cancer cases, 38 healthy controls, respectively, were analyzed with a specific ELISA assay. Results The mean adiponectin levels in colorectal cancer pa-tients and healthy controls were 159.89 and 184.5 pg/mL,respectively. Obviously colorectal cancer patients had significantly lower plasma adiponectin concentrations compared with healthy controls(P=0.001). And a inverse correlation was found between plasma adiponectin levels and tumor size with significantly lower levels of adiponectin in tumors≥5 cm (P=0.04), while no similar relationship was found between adiponectin and p53, Dukes stages(P>0.05). Conclusions Lower plasma levels of adiponectin are associated with color-ectal carcinogenesis closely. And the lower plasma levels of diponectin were positively related to the degree of tumor size. It can presume that adiponectin play a vital role in the process of colorectal carcinogenesis.

Objective To explore the outcomes of the oncology, the fertility and pregnancy on patients with early-stage cervical cancer after undergoing fertility-sparing treatments, and to investigate its value on clinical treatment. Methods A total of 29 patients with cervical cancer (stage Ⅰa2-Ⅰb1) who had undergone the fertility-sparing treatments in Renji Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiaotong University from February 2010 to September 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. Surgical procedures included transvaginal cervical cold knife conization (CKC)+laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy (PLD) or total laparoscopic uterine cervix extensive resection (RT; contains PLD); 48 patients with early cervical cancer under going laparoscopic uterine extensive resection (RH; contains PLD) by the same group of physicians in the same period were chosen as the control group. The perioperative related indicators, postoperative specimen examination, pregnancies after surgery and postoperative tumor follow-up results were retrospectively analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results (1) Among these 29 patients in the study group, 26 cases were underwent the fertility-sparing surgery quick frozen pathological examinations were positive in 3 cases, which underwent total laparoscopic RT eventually. (2) The perioperative related indicators: compared with the study group and the control group, the operation time [(182 ± 21), (147 ± 24) minutes, respectively] has significant difference (t=6.563, P<0.01). There were no significant difference (P>0.05) in intra-operative blood loss [(102±26), (99±34) ml], postoperative aerofluxus time [(1.3±0.4), (1.1±0.9) days], the average length of hospital stay [(11.2 ± 2.1), (10.6 ± 3.5) days], rate of urine retention [10%(3/29), 10%(5/48)] and rate of postoperative infection [3%(1/29), 2%(1/48)]. (3)Postoperative specimen examination:compared with the study group and the control group, there were no significant difference (P>0.05) innumber of removed lymphatic nodes (23.4 ± 4.1, 22.8 ± 3.9), length of cardinal ligament [(2.9 ± 0.5), (3.0 ± 0.6) cm], lengthof uterosacral ligament [(2.6±0.7), (2.8±0.4) cm], length of removed vaginal [(3.4±0.3), (3.5±0.3) cm]. (4) Pregnancies after surgery and postoperative tumor follow-up results:in the study group, only 14 patients had fertility requirement after treatments. Pregnancies occurred in 5 women (5/14), which included1 case of full-term labor, 1 case of preterm labor, and 3 cases of spontaneous abortion. The Average follow-up time in postoperative patients of the study group and control group was 29.4, and 30.2 months respectively. In follow-up period, compare with study group and the control group, there was no significant difference (χ2=0.004, P>0.05) in the recurrence rate [4%(1/26), 4%(2/48)]. Conclusion Fertility-sparing surgery of early-stage cervical cancer is safe but the outcome of the fertility and pregnancy is still need toimprove.
