Standards of medical care for type 2 diabetes in China 2019.

The prevalence of diabetes in China has increased rapidly from 0.67% in 1980 to 10.4% in 2013, with the aging of the population and westernization of lifestyle.

Ethanol-induced cognitive dysfunction is associated with alterations in the mammalian target of rapamycin signalling pathway in the hippocampus of male mice.

The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of acute excessive administration of ethanol on the expression of proteins related to the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signalling pathway in the mouse hippocampus and to reveal the possible molecular mechanism of learning and memory deficits induced by ethanol. A total of 120 8-week-old Kunming mice (half male and half female) were randomly assigned into low-dose, moderate-dose, and high-dose male and female groups with intragastric administration of 12.5, 25 and 50% ethanol, respectively, at the dosage of 0.

[Dectection of G3BP and CD44v6 in the tissues of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and their clinical significance].

Objective To study the expressions of RNA-binding Ras-GAP SH3 binding protein (G3BP) and tumor stem cell marker CD44v6 in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and their correlations with angiogenesis. Methods We collected the cancer tissues and corresponding paracancerous tissues from 56 patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. The expressions of G3BP and CD44v6 proteins were detected by Western blotting in cancer tissues and corresponding paracancerous tissues; the expressions of G3BP, CD44v6 and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) were tested by immunohistochemistry.

Eucommia ulmoides Oliv. (Du-Zhong) Lignans Inhibit Angiotensin II-Stimulated Proliferation by Affecting P21, P27, and Bax Expression in Rat Mesangial Cells.

Cortex Eucommiae (Du-zhong) is the dried bark of the Eucommia ulmoides Oliv. The natural products identified from Du-zhong include lignans, iridoids, flavonoids, polysaccharides, terpenes, and proteins, Liu et al. (2012).
