BACKGROUND:Circadian rhythms are closely related to the life activities of most mammals and insects.Timless gene plays a crucial role in the generation of circadian rhythms as key components encoding the Timeless/Period gene complex.However,its specific mechanism in circadian rhythms is still unclear.OBJECTIVE:To study the relationship between Timless protein gene,Period gene,circadian rhythm,environment and cryptochrome gene,so as to have a more comprehensive understanding of the nucleation and accumulation mechanism of circadian cycle and the influence of environment on circadian rhythm.METHODS:Literature retrieval was conducted in the Web of science Core Collection database,PubMed and CNKI,and the relevant literature was searched,consulted and screened after the keyword was set as"Timless,Period,circadian rhythm,environment"in English and Chinese.Non-relevant literature was progressively excluded through full-text reading,and 126 papers were finally included for the review.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the circadian clock,the circadian spontaneous output of the cyclins kaput and CYCLE activate the Timeless/Period gene,Timeless gene regulates the nucleation mechanism and stability of Period gene,and Period gene can also be nucleated individually by a number of mechanisms.Casein kinase 2,Shaggy protein kinase and double time genes can regulate circadian rhythms and participate in transcription by phosphorylating Timeless gene/Period gene.Cryptochrome gene-mediated degradation of Timeless gene has a very important role in transcriptional integrity.External factors such as environmental factors and dietary patterns can influence circadian rhythms through the Timeless gene/Period gene.Interestingly,time-restricted eating can be used as an effective way to improve circadian rhythm disturbances.

Objective:To explore the relationship between the new Tumor-Node-Metastasis (TNM) staging system and the serum CA125 level with the prognosis of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPeM) .Methods:The clinical data of 74 patients with MPeM diagnosed by pathology and immunohistochemistry were collected from January 2005 to June 2016 in Cangzhou Central Hospital. According to the results of CT-peritoneal carcinoma index (PCI) , the tumor load was divided into T1 (PCI 1-10) , T2 (PCI 11-20) , T3 (PCI 21-30) and T4 (PCI 31-39) , combined with lymph node metastasis and extraperitoneal metastasis, a new TNM staging system was established. And serum CA125 level was measured in the same time. The median survival time of patients with MPeM, the effect of the new TNM staging system, and serum CA125 levels on their prognosis were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among the 74 patients with MPeM, 25 (33.8%) cases were males and 49 (66.2%) cases were females. There were 8 cases with systemic chemotherapy, 8 cases with heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy, and 1 case with combination chemotherapy. 10 cases were T1, 22 cases were T2, 27 cases were T3, 15 cases were T4, 12 cases had lymph node metastasis and 10 cases had distant metastasis. The median survival time of T1, T2, T3 and T4 were 12, 10, 6 and 3 months respectively. There were 38 (77.6%) cases with high serum CA125 in all 49 cases who have been tested for CA125. The median survival time of positive group and negative group were 6 months and 11 months respectively. 68 (91.9%) patients had died by the end of collecting data. The median survival time was 8 months. Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in survival time between patients with different CT-PCI stages, serum CA125 levels, and with or without lymph node and extraperitoneal metastasis ( P<0.05) . Multivariate analysis showed that CT-PCI was independent risk factors for the prognosis of MPeM ( HR=2.203, 95% CI: 1.475-3.289) . Conclusion:The new TNM staging system and serum CA125 are important for the prognosis of patients with MPeM. Early detection, early diagnosis and comprehensive treatment can improve the survival time of patients with MPeM.

Objective To detect the level of CD64 and serum procalcitonin (PCT ) and investigate the diagnosis value of CD64 and serum PCT in cirrhosis patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) .Methods Participants were categorized in‐to three groups including liver cirrhosis with SBP(45 patients) ,liver cirrhosis without SBP(93 patients) and health personnel(50 persons) .CD64 was detected by flow cytometry and serum PCT was measured by electroc hemiluminescence immunoassay .The li‐mosis vein blood samples were obtained from the patients with SBP at the time of 24 h after admission ,before antibacterial drugs use and 7 days after the effective treatment of antibacterial drugs .The CD64 and serum PCT were detected with the limosis vein blood samples .At the same time ,the complete blood count ,liver ,kidney and blood coagulate functions were tested .The participants in other two groups were detected the CD64 ,serum PCT ,complete blood count ,liver ,kidney and blood coagulate functions at the same time .Results The level of CD64 and serum PCT in cirrhosis patients with SBP were significantly higher than those in liver cirrhosis without SBP and normal controls (P< 0 .01) .ROC curve analysis showed that the sensitivity and specificity of CD64 and serum PCT were 95 .5% ,93 .8% and 96 .1% ,85 .2% respectively .Conclusion CD64 and serum PCT can be determined as the im‐portant indicator in early diagnosis and efficacy criterion .

Objective To explore the clinical features of patients with surgical malignant peritoneal mesothelioma.Methods From April 2008 to November 2012,the clinical data of 14 patients with surgery and pathologically diagnosed malignant peritoneal mesothelioma were retrospectively analyzed.Results Among the 14 patients,13 cases had a history of asbestos exposure.There were 10 cases with abdominal pain,seven cases with bloatting,and one case with intermittent vaginal bleeding.There were 13 cases with asbestos plaques,14 cases with organ infiltration,nine cases with little or no ascites,one case with mild lymph nodes enlargement in peritoneal cavity,but no case was found with distant metastasis.There were three cases with diffuse type and 11 cases with localized type.Serum CA125 level increased in seven cases.Seven cases received postoperative chemotherapy,and the average survival time was five months after surgery.To the closing date,two patients with localized peritoneal lesions are still alive.Conclusions The incidence of the group of patients with malignant peritoneal mesothelioma is closely related to the contact with asbestos.Localized type is the dominant type,without lymph nodes enlargement and distant metastases.Survival rate may improve in patients with early surgery.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of localized peritoneal mesothelioma by the retrospective analysis of the clinical data and its relationship with asbestos exposure.Methods A total of 22 cases with localized peritoneal mesothelioma confirmed by pathological test and they were selected as our subjects in the Central Hospital of Cangzhou from Jan.2007 to Dec.2012.The information of all cases was collected.The incidence,asbestos exposure history,clinical manifestations,imaging studies,pathological type,immunohistochemistry and tumor markers of peritoneal mesotheliom patients were recorded or measured.Results Of 22 cases,female accounted for 68.18％.The periods from onset symptoms to treatment time was from 2 days to 1 year with an average of 83 days.Clinical symptoms were verified including localized abdominal pain (11 cases,50.00％),abdominal mass (8 cases,36.36％),abdominal distension (6 cases,27.27％),ascites (10 cases,45.45％).Patient was with increased platelet and carcinoma antigen 125.Abdominal computerized tomography showed that local mass was seen and 12 cases were with asbestos spot.Ultrasound-guided peritoneal biopsy was confirmed as the main diagnostic method followed by Laparotomy.Epithelial type was the main pathological type (19 cases,86.36％),following the fleshy tumor type and mixed type.Eighteen cases had asbestos exposure history.Conclusion Localized peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare disease.However,the incidence is high in the current region due to asbestos exposure.Abdominal pain and local mass are the main clinical symptoms,and the main pathology is epithelial typeas well as surgery is the main therapy.
