Objective To explore the modification of bionic silk fibroin nerve conduits (SF-NCs) by silk sencin.Methods The innovative SS/SF blended-NCs was fabricated by a vertical sequential cooling thermal induced phase separation (TIPS) processing with SF solution added sericin in proportion,its morphology was observed by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM),X-ray diffraction (XRD) and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to detect its internal molecular structure.MTT assay was used to quantitatively analyzed the PC12 cells viability co-cultured with the innovative SS/SF-NCs,SEM was used to observe the adhesion and morphology of PC12 cells seeded into the innovative SS/SF,PC12 cells were used to assess the NGF bioactivity released from the SS/SF.Results The SEM results showed that the new fabricated SS/SF-NCs had linearly oriented lamellar-like multiple-channel which distributed evenly,got great changes on the channel microstructure and their mechanical properties had been greatly improved,compared to SF-NCs.The XRD and FTIR results showed that the SS/SF-NCs had the similar internal molecular structure with natural silk.The spaces between parallel lamellar-like channels,porosities and compressive strengths of the SS/SF-NCs decreased with decreasing Sequential freezing temperature.MTT assay results showed that the viability of PC12 cell was better than the control group (P < 0.05).The SEM observation indicated that PC12 cells showed good adhesion and differentiation with neuritis outgrowth during the period of co-culture with the SS/SF-NCs.NGF release from the innovative SS/SF-NCs was prolonged over 4 weeks,and remained bioactive.Conclusion The new fabricated SS/SF-NCs modified though silk sericin,which was highly bionic the structure of peripheral nerve fasciculus,had excellent mechanical properties and could be used as another alternative of artificial nerve conduits.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the development and application of pharmacy popular-science video courseware. METHODS :Combined with the problems existing in the medication of patients with chronic diseases at the present stage and the key points of medication management ,the theme ,content and form of this popular-science were determined ;the video shooting and production were completed ,and publicity and promotion were carried out. Questionnaire survey was conducted , and the reception of pharmacy outpatient service in our hospital was counted ;the broadcasting effects of popular-science video were analyzed. RESULTS :The theme of popular-science video courseware was determined to be self-medication management of patients with chronic diseases at home assisted by pharmacists. Combined with the “five moments ”of medication safety proposed by WHO , the content included six units as knowing pharmacists ,understanding drugs ,taking drugs ,adding drugs ,checking drugs ,and discontinuing drugs. PPT video was used to explain the contents of each unit ,with an average duration of about 25 min. After the first unit was launched ,a total of 39 327 hits were received within two months. A total of 100 questionnaires were sent out ,97 questionnaires were collected (recovery rate of 97.0%). Among them ,80(82.5%)thought it helpful to watch the video. Within two months after the broadcast of unit 1 video,the reception volume of pharmacy outpatient department of our hospital (1 160 person times )increased by 104.2% compared with the two months in the same period last year (568 person times ),and increased by 18.7% compared with the two months before the broadcast (977 person times );99 patients came to the pharmacy outpatient department to consult because of watching the video ,and 55.6% of the registered patients consulted the demonstration of video courseware and repeatedly mentioned related problems. CONCLUSIONS :It is a beneficial exploration for pharmacists to develop popular-science video courseware with the theme of safe and rational drug use. It is the direction for future work to increase the scope of disease types ,target different groups of people or focus on different types of drugs and promot them in various forms.
