ABSTRACT
Tumor cells have unique energy metabolism phenomena, namely high glucose absorption, aerobic glycolysis and high lactic acid production, which are characterized by down-regulation of related proteins involved in oxidative metabolism in tumor cells, and up-regulation of glucose transporters and monocarboxylate transporters. Studies have shown that drugs that target tumor cell glucose metabolism have the ability to selectively kill tumor cells, bringing new hope for tumor treatment. Tumor stem cells are considered to be the root cause of tumor recurrence, metastasis and poor prognosis, and their energy metabolism characteristics have not yet been agreed. Studies have shown that reversing the energy metabolism of tumor stem cells can increase their chemosensitivity. This article reviews recent studies on tumor and tumor stem cell glucose metabolism and the opportunities and challenges of tumor treatment through targeting glucose metabolism, which might provide new ideas and opportunities for clinical tumor therapy.

Objective To discuss the effects of carvedilol on the heart function and glucolipometabolism in elder patients with diastolic heart failure.Methods 76 elder patients with diastolic heart failure were randomly divided into treatment group(n=34) and control group(n=42),all the patients were given routine treatment of diastolic heart failure,the patients in treatment group were given carvediol in addition( from little dose to more ),the course of treatment was 3-6 months.The parameters of the diastolic function of heart before and after treatment in two groups were determined by ultrasonic cardiogram and uninjured cardiodynamic machine.And the levels of fasting blood glucose,triacylglucerol(TG),cholesterol in two groups were detected.Results After treatment the total effective rate in treatment group was higher than that in control group( P
