Objective To explore the role of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B(PI3K/AKT) pathway in recombinant human erythropoietin( rhEPO) protecting new type BPD. Methods Injected LPS or PBS to 40 spra-gue-dawley (SD) rats, gestational sacs on 15th day of gestation, the newborn rats were divided into four groups:control group, hyperoxia group, rhEPO group, rhEPO+LY294002 group. To detect the expression of lung tissue BCL-2 and Caspase - 9 protein and mRNA by Western blot and RT-PCR. Results In the hyperoxia group and rhEPO+LY294002 group, BCL-2 expression was decreased,while Caspase-9 expression was increased apparently;in the rhEPO group, BCL-2 expression was increased, while Caspase-9 expression was decreased. The differences between each group were statistically significant on 1st,7th and 14th day of hyperoxia exposure (P<0. 05). Con-clusion Intrauterine inflammatory exposure combined with hyperoxia after birth can cause lung cell apoptosis in-creases. While rhEPO has certain control effects on BPD, possibly by reducing the pulmonary apoptosis. The mechanism may be associated with PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Cancers evolution is a process of clonal selection,cell competition and clonal expansion. Cancers evolution includes cancer memory,heterogeneity,resistance,transformation and adaption et al.This evolution enables cancer cells to adapt to any hostile environment and to survive.An understanding of cancers evolution will provide a theoretical guidance for the implementation of the precision therapy.

Objective To investigate the correlation between thyroid antibody level and carotid atherosclerotic plaque in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods Consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled retrospectively.They were divided into a non-plaque group and a plaque group according to the findings of carotid artery color-Doppler ultrasonography.The plaque group was redivided into a stable plaque subgroup and a non-stable plaque subgroup.Chemiluminescence method was used to measure the serum thyroperoxidase antibodies (TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibodies (TGAb) levels and they were compared.Results A total of 383 patients were enrolled in the study,including 116 (30.3％) did not have plaque and 267 (69.7％) had plaque,68 of them had unstable plaque,and 199 had stable plaque.The level of TGAb in the plaque group was significantly higher than that in the non-plaque group (Z =-4.826,P ＜0.001).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the level of TGAb might be an independent risk factors for carotid plaque (odds ratio 1.007,95％ confidence interval 1.001-1.012;P =0.016).The serum level of TPOAb in the stable plaque group was significantly higher than that in the unstable plaque group (Z =-2.114,P=0.035),but multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that it was not the independent risk factor for unstable plaque (odds ratio 1.001,95％ confidence interval 0.996-1.006;P =0.786).Conclusions The level of serum thyroid antibodies increased in patients with acute ischemic stroke,especially the increased level of TGAb might be associated with the occurrence and development of carotid atherosclerotic plaque,however,it was not associated with the plaque stability.

Cancer is like a planet , which consists of a heterogeneous mixture of distinct cancer cells . Cancer planet includes four varying levels:niche,surface,middle and core .Cancer architecture based system ther-apies are starting to be exploited for the development of novel strategies to war for cancer .

Metronomic chemotherapy involves antiangiogenic processes that help host to fight against cancer by using continuous low dose drugs.Metronomic chemotherapy can be an effective treatment option for patients with head and neck carcinoma,breast cancer,gastrointestinal cancer,ovarian and prostate cancer. Metronomic chemotherapy also involves multiple mechanisms that include antiangiogenesis,immune stimulation and direct tumor cell targeting effects.We need to carefully evaluate the clinical effects of combination chemo-therapies that incorporate the other treatment schedules.

Gastrointestinal microbiota is a huge and complex system that has multiple influential factors. As an exogenous pathogen,Helicobacter pylori(Hp)may interact with gastrointestinal microbiota. It has been revealed that Hp infection led to an increase in Lactobacillus acidophilus in intestinal tract and a decrease in Actinobacteria,Bacteroidetes and Firmacutes in stomach. Proton pump inhibitors and antibiotics,the major components of eradication regimens for Hp infection,may also have an impact on gastrointestinal microbiota. On the other hand,gastrointestinal microbiota interferes with Hp’s attachment into gastric mucosa. Probiotics combined with eradication therapy could benefit the eradication rate of Hp infection and reduce adverse events.
