MDH1 and MDH2 Promote Cell Viability of Primary AT2 Cells by Increasing Glucose Uptake.

Background: Acute lung injury (ALI) is a clinical disease with high morbidity and mortality, with limited treatment means. For primary alveolar epithelial type II (AT2) cells, glycolysis is an essential bioenergetic process. However, the significance of AT2 cell glycolysis in sepsis ALI remains unknown.

Efficacy of limb salvage with primary tumor resection simultaneously for solitary bone metastasis in limbs.

Background: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of limb salvage with primary tumor resection on patients with solitary bone metastasis.

Methods: A retrospective treatment outcome review was performed on 20 patients with solitary bone metastasis as the primary clinical symptom who were admitted to the hospital between 2006 and 2010. With primary tumor resection, 18/20 patients received limb salvage surgery simultaneously.
