To investigate the effects of particle size, mPEG molecular weight, coating density and zeta potential of monomethoxyl poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (mPEG-PLGA) nanoparticles on their transportation across the rat nasal mucosa, mPEG-PLGA-NPs with different mPEG molecular weights (M(r) 1 000, 2 000) and coating density (0, 5%, 10%, 15%) and chitosan coated PLGA-NP, which loaded coumarin-6 as fluorescent marker, were prepared with the nanoprecipitation method and emulsion-solvent evaporation method, and determine their particle size, zeta potential, the efficiency of fluorescent labeling, in vitro leakage rate and the stability with the lysozyme were determined. The effects of physical and chemical properties on the transmucosal transport of the fluorescent nanoparticles were investigated by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The result showed that the size of nanoparticles prepared with nanoprecipitation method varied between 120 and 200 nm; the size of nanoparticles prepared with emulsion-solvent evaporation method varied between 420 and 450 nm. Nanoparticles dispersed uniformly; the zeta potential of PLGA-NPs was negative; mPEG-PLGA-NPs was close to neutral; chitosan coated PLGA-NPs was positive; and the efficiency of fluorescent labeling were higher than 80%. In vitro leak was less than 5% within 4 h and nanoparticles were basically stable with lysozyme. The CLSM results show that the transportation efficiency of mPEG-PLGA-NPs with a high PEG coating density and high mPEG molecular weight was significantly higher than that of uncoated PLGA nanoparticles and also that of chitosan coated PLGA-NPs (P < 0.05). The hydrophilcity, zeta potential and particle size of nanoparticles play important roles on the efficiency of mPEG-PLGA nanoparticles to transport across the rat nasal mucosa.

Objective To investigate the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes among women with syphilis in Zhejiang province during 2013-2014,and to explore the influence of anti?syphilis treatment on pregnancy outcomes. Methods A retrospective study was carried out according to the Information Management System for preventing mother?to?child transmission(PMTCT)of syphilis in Zhejiang province during 2013-2014. The incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes was compared between women with syphilis and general women without syphilis, between treated and untreated women with syphilis, as well as between women with syphilis receiving and not receiving standard anti?syphilis treatment. The effects of anti?syphilis treatment and standard anti?syphilis treatment on pregnancy outcomes were analyzed. Results Data were collected from 3 985 women with syphilis and their children. Of these women, 12 had a stillbirth, and 3 973 a live birth. Totally, 3 210(80.55%)women received anti?syphilis treatment, 967(30.12%, 967/3 210) women received substandard treatment, and 775(19.45%)did not receive anti?syphilis treatment. Of the 3 985 fetuses or neonates born to women with syphilis, 45(1.13%)had abnormal clinical symptoms/signs. The incidence rates of low birth weight and early neonatal death were 7.00%(279/3 985) and 1.13%(45/3 985) respectively in fetuses or neonates born to women with syphilis, both significantly higher than those in fetuses or neonates born to general women without syphilis (3.18%[26 092/819494] and 0.13%[1 029/819 494], respectively, both P < 0.01). Among 775 untreated women with syphilis, the incidence rates of premature birth, low birth weight, early neonatal death, congenital syphilis and abnormal neonatal symptoms/signs were 15.61%(121/775), 10.84%(84/775), 2.45%(19/775), 3.48%(27/775)and 2.84%(22/775)respectively, all significantly higher than those in 3 210 women receiving anti?syphilis therapy (8.26%, 6.07%, 0.81%, 0.81% and 1.03%,respectively, all P < 0.01). Besides, the 967 women receiving substandard anti?syphilis treatment showed higher incidence rates of premature birth, low birth weight, early neonatal death, congenital syphilis and abnormal neonatal symptoms/signs than the 2 243 women receiving standard treatment (10.44%vs. 7.31%, 8.17%vs. 5.17%, 1.55%vs. 0.49%, 1.65%vs. 0.45%, 1.96%vs. 0.62%, respectively, all P<0.01). Conclusions The incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes is high among women with syphilis in Zhejiang province during 2013-2014. Untreated and inadequately treated maternal syphilis is strongly associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes.
