Objective:
Glucose metabolic disorder is a common issue in sepsis and it leads to an increase in mortality. However, the therapeutic methods of the glucose metabolic disorders in sepsis patients need to be improved. Studying the mechanism of glucose metabolism disorder, and adjusting the existing treatment measures are especially significant in curing the sepsis. This review summarizes recent animal experiments and clinical studies about glucose change after septic complications, focusing on the treatment of three disorders including hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, and blood glucose variability. They definitely provide new ideas for the control of blood glucose in sepsis patients.

Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
