Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) has become an effective alternative treatment strategy for patients with inoperable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Although TACE is relatively safe, acute respiratory distress syndrome associated with pulmonary lipiodol embolism is a rare and potentially fatal complication. We report a rare case of acute respiratory distress syndrome after TACE for inoperable HCC. A 75-year-old man, with huge HCC in right lobe, was treated by TACE for the first time. Seven hours after uneventful TACE procedure, he felt dyspneic and his oxygen saturation recorded by pulse oximetry (SpO2) fell to 80% despite of applying non-rebreathing mask. He underwent mechanical ventilation with a protective ventilatory strategy. We experienced a case of acute respiratory distress syndrome after TACE for HCC.

Aptamers are widely used as binders that interact with targets with high affinity or as inhibitors of the function of target molecules. However, they have also been used to modulate target protein function, which they achieve by activating the target or stabilizing its conformation. Here, we report a unique aptamer modulator of the insulin receptor (IR), IR-A62. Alone, IR-A62 acts as a biased agonist that preferentially induces Y1150 monophosphorylation of IR. However, when administered alongside insulin, IR-A62 shows variable binding cooperativity depending on the ligand concentration. At low concentrations, IR-A62 acts as a positive allosteric modulator (PAM) agonist that enhances insulin binding, but at high concentrations, it acts as a negative allosteric modulator (NAM) agonist that competes with insulin for IR. Moreover, the concentration of insulin affects the binding of IR-A62 to IR. Finally, the subcutaneous administration of IR-A62 to diabetic mice reduces blood glucose levels with a longer-lasting effect than insulin administration. These findings imply that aptamers can elicit various responses from receptors beyond those of a simple agonist or inhibitor. We expect further studies of IR-A62 to help reveal the mechanism of IR activation and greatly expand the range of therapeutic applications of aptamers.

<P>Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (PGC1α) is a key modulator of mitochondrial biogenesis. It is a coactivator of multiple transcription factors and regulates metabolic processes. However, little is known about the expression and function of PGC1α in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most prevalent and invasive type of brain tumor. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the biological function, localization and expression of PGC1α in GBM. It was observed that PGC1α expression is increased in the tumor cells, and a higher level of expression was observed in the mitochondria. Bioinformatics analyses identified that metabolic and mitochondrial genes were highly expressed in GBM cells, with a high PGC1α mRNA expression. Notably, mitochondrial function-associated genes were highly expressed in cells alongside high PGC1α expression. Collectively, the results of the present study indicate that PGC1α is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction in GBM and may have a role in tumor pathogenesis and progression.</P>
