Lung cancer is the most common cancer, accounting for 20% of cancer-related deaths worldwide. In 2015, an estimated 610,200 patients (22 per cent of cancer-related deaths) died of lung cancer. Non-small cell lung cancer ((NSCLC)) accounts for 80% to 85% of lung cancer. Most patients are locally
Several biochemical mechanisms explaining how Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) provides an effective treatment for obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and improves hyperglycemia independently of weight loss have been proposed. Two are of particular interest; a) the hindgut hypothesis
Women who choose to terminate pregnancy because of maternal factors at the first and second trimester, or delivered at term in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were enrolled in the study.
Samples for measurement were obtained from women undergoing induced abortion or caesarean
After consumption of a meal, pancreatic secretions of various digestive enzymes results in the breakdown of carbohydrates into monosaccharides including glucose. These sugars are subsequently absorbed through the intestinal lumen, resulting in an increased plasma glucose concentration. In response
The primary defect in autoimmune Type I Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) involves the infiltration of the pancreatic islet cells by T-lymphocytes, macrophages, and other immune cells, and consequent loss of beta cells. At the onset of T1DM more than 70% of the beta cells are destroyed, whereas the residual
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by hyperglycemia due to an impaired insulin activity (insulin resistance) or a reduced insulin production by the pancreas. The restoration of adequate insulin secretion represents one of the goals of several antidiabetic therapies such as
In this phase II randomized, placebo controlled study, patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer will be randomized to treatment with gemcitabine, erlotinib and metformin, or gemcitabine, erlotinib and placebo.
Gemcitabine at a dose of 1000 mg/m2 (iv, 30 minutes) will be given
The control of hyperglycemia in T2DM ameliorates the metabolic abnormalities of T2DM but whether this improves hepatic steatosis has not been examined carefully with the use of improved insulin formulations (long-acting insulins detemir or glargine, alone or combined with pre-meal short-acting
Cigarette smoking has been linked to many life threatening diseases including heart diseases, cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. There are about 1.25 billion smokers in the world. Five million people die every year because of smoking-related diseases. This rate exceeds many other
Postoperative insulin resistance (PIR) is a central feature of postoperative metabolism response to surgical injury, resulting in decreased insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue, increased glucose release and hyperglycaemia. The PIR is most pronounced on the day
Diabetic patients are at elevated risk for low cardiac output syndrome. This high risk scenario adversely affects up to 26% of patients recovering from cardiac surgery. Aggressive hemodynamic treatments are required, but can prove inadequate. Low cardiac output syndrome can quadruple the overall
The following specific hypotheses will be investigated:
1. Following severe burn injury in human patients the mitochondrial fat oxidation capacity is decreased in muscle. This is associated with a corresponding progression in the severity of the resistance to the action of insulin on glucose
