1.Research progress in the role of FBXW7 in drug resistance against non-small cell lung cancer.
Journal of Central South University(Medical Sciences) 2019;44(4):444-448
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world. NSCLC shows serious effect on prognosis for drug resistance, and it is necessary to study the molecular mechanism for drug resistance in NSCLC. Ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) can regulate some important cellular processes by degrading short-term protein, and the abnormal expression is closely related to the occurrence, development and prognosis of tumor. The F-box family protein is an important component of the ubiquitin proteasome, such as cycle regulation, transcriptional regulation, signal transduction, apoptosis and differentiation. F-box and WD-40 domain protein 7 (FBXW7) is just the classic protein components among F-box family protein. Studies have shown that FBXW7 is related to drug resistance in NSCLC. The main mechanism is that FBXW7 mutation leads to drug resistance by reducing ubiquitination and degradation of its downstream proteins, including Snail protein, myeloid cell leukemia sequence 1 (MCL-1), mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and coiled-coil-domain containing 6 (CCDC6). Rapamycin, histone deacetylase inhibitor MS-275, and rabdosia are effective in drug-resistant NSCLC patients with FBXW7 mutation.

Objective To characterize the finals mispronunciation in Chinese-speaking children with functional articulation disorder (FAD),in order to promote the standardized diagnosis.Method A retrospective study was conducted.From January to December 2013,90 FAD children,diagnosed by Dysarthria Rating Scale and Mandarin Finals scale,were included in this study.Among them,22 were found to have finals mispronunciation;the average age was (6.56 ± 0.26) years.According to the finals classification,six different finals (simple finals,front vowel compound finals,central vowel compound finals,back vowel compound finals,anterior nasal finals,and posterior nasal finals) were defined;the produced sound samples of those subjects were analyzed.Result In all these children,22 of 90 (24%)were found having finals mispronunciation,the occurring rates of which with omission and substitution errors were:3% (4/132) for simple finals,30% (26/88) for front vowel compound finals,26% (23/88) for central vowel compound finals,7% (8/110) for back vowel compound finals,73% (128/176) for anterior nasal finals and 73% (112/154) for posterior nasal finals,respectively.In omission and substitution errors,the ratios of the finals above were 50% (150/301),3% (10/301),5% (14/301),36% (107/301),2% (5/301) and 5% (15/301),respectively.The most frequently occurred mispronunciation were omission,substitution and distortion,with rates of 37% (273/748),4% (28/748) and 8% (61/748),respectively.Conclusion The FAD children have remarkable mispronunciation of finals.Omission is the main error.The nasal finals are the most commonly involved,followed by front vowel and central vowel compound finals.The simple finals and the back vowel compound finals are most commonly produced in omission and substitution.These finals production features should be considered when making and implementing rehabilitation programs.
