Neuroendocrine dysfunction has long been thought to be an important event in sepsis. In clinic, optimal management of the hormones could alleviate severe complications in sepsis. In this article, we review the dysfunction ofneuroendocrine system as well as autonomic nervous system in sepsis, and summarize the respective therapy strategies.展开更多

At the same time, advanced hepatocellular carcinomaitself can cause glucose intolerance and can aggravate diabetes.Diabetes mellitus inducing hepatocellular carcinoma may resultin changes in the following aspects: dysfunction of organism,endocrine hormone balance and interactions, endothelins andso on. One way, diabetes mellitus may induce hepatocellularcarcinoma through the effects of chemotherapeutics and otheradjuvant drugs. This review outlines the relationship betweendiabetes mellitus and the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma as wellas treatments for hepatocellular carcinoma, which may be helpfulfor clinicians.展开更多
