Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases 2012;28(5):498-500
Objective To observe the effect of high glucose on the expression of activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) in cultured retinal Müller glia cells.Methods The retinal tissue of Sprague Dawley (SD) rats was collected,and Müller cells were isolated and cultured.The glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and glutamine synthetase (GS) of Müller cells were identified by streptavidin-biotinperoxidase complex.Cultured rat Müller cells were divided into control group (5.5 mmol/L glucose),group A (20 mmol/L glucose),group B (30 mmol/L glucose) and group C (40 mmol/L glucose).ATF4 protein expressions in Müller cells of four groups were measured by Western blot four days after cultured.Results GFAP and GS expressed in more than 95% of Müller cells.Over 95% of Müller cells of group A,B and C were positive for GFAP and GS.Western blots indicated that ATF4 protein in group A,B and C increased obviously compared with the control group (q=0.293,0.754,0.484; P<0.05).Conclusion High glucose can increase the expression of ATF4 protein and cause endoplasmic reticulum stress in retinal Müller glia cells in vitro.

4. Preparation and properties of chitosan/β-glycerophosphate thermosensitive hydrogel containing amino-carbon nanotubes
Chinese Pharmaceutical Journal 2014;49(1):54-60
OBJECTIVE: To synthesis chitosan/β-glycerophosphate (CS/β-GP) thermosensitive hydrogel containing multi-walled carbon nanotubes-polyethyleneimine (MWCNTs-PEI) complexes and to lay a foundation for further research of dual slow-release delivery system. METHODS: Chitosan thermosensitive hydrogel containing MWCNTs-PEI was prepared by MWCNTs-PEI dispersed to the chitosan thermosensitive hydrogel. As the indicator of the gelling time, the experiment studied the effect of β-GP concentration, pH, temperature and MWCNTs-PEI composite quality on the thermosensitive chitosan hydrogel, and then it was charactered by using transmission electron microscopy (SEM), infrared spectrometer(IR), and initially investigated in vivo compatibility. RESULTS: The dynamic rheology method investigated the gelling temperature were about 37.0°C. Within a certain range, the gelling time of thermosensitive chitosan hydrogel was shortened with the increase of concentration of β-GP, pH, temperature, and the quality of MWCNTs-PEI complexes, and they could be transformed into the hydrogel in vivo. The addition of MWCNTs-PEI complex didn't react chemically with the thermosensitive chitosan hydrogel and significantly make the holes of the chitosan thermosensitive hydrogel smaller by SEM and FT-IR, eventually leading to the swelling rate and the corrosional ratio decrease. CONCLUSION: Chitosan/β-glycerophosphate thermosensitive hydrogel containing amino-carbon nanotubes has a rapid gelation and good temperature-sensitivity, which can serve as a good double sustained-release carrier.
5. Preparation of multi-walled carbon nanotubes-polyethyleneimine composite and its cytotoxicity on PC12 cells
Chinese Pharmaceutical Journal 2013;48(18):1558-1563
OBJECTIVE: To synthesize water-soluble multi-walled carbon nanotubes-polyethyleneimine (MWCNTs-PEI) composite with low cytotoxicity and to lay a foundation for further research of loading drugs with carbon nanotubes. METHODS: MWCNTs-PEI composite was prepared by modifying carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWCNTs-COOH) with polyethylene (PEI), and then the composite was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, infrared spectra, UV spectra and thermalgravimetric analysis. The cytotoxicity of the composite on PC12 cells was measured by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT) assay to preliminarily evaluate its biocompatibility. RESULTS: The dissolubilities of MWCNTs-PEI and MWCNTs-COOH complexes were respectively 1.009 and 0.0601 mg · mL-1, and the former was about 16 times of the latter. The cytotoxicity of MWCNTs-PEI composite on PC 12 cells was significantly milder than that of MWCNTs-COOH composite as indicated by MTT assay (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: MWCNTs-PEI composite not only improves the dispersibility of carbon nanotubes, but also reduces its in vitro cell toxicity.

Objective:To study correlation analysis between Ki-67 and p53 expression in breast cancer tissues and preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).Methods:From January 2014 to September 2015 in our hospital,73 cases of breast cancer patients treated with NAC were selected as the research object.NAC was administered to all patients for 3 weeks,and then the surgery was performed,and the biopsy specimens were performed before and after chemotherapy.Analysis of the effect of the patients and the expression of p53 and Ki-67.Results:In the 73 patients,CR had 24 cases,accounting for 32.88%,PR had 39 cases,accounting for 53.42%,OR had 63 cases,accounting for 86.30%.The results of pathological grading showed that grade 5 were 13cases,grade 4 in 26 cases,grade 3 in 22 cases,grade 2 in 9 cases,grade 1 in 3 cases.There was no significant difference in the expression of p53 in all patients before and after chemotherapy(P>0.05).However,the expression of Ki67 was significantly lower than that before chemotherapy,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The percentage of p53 positive expression in OR patients after chemotherapy was 34.92%,significantly lower than that of the negative expression of 65.08%,and the positive expression of Ki-67 was 71.43%,significantly higher than that of negative expression of 28.57%,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).According to Pearson analysis,the negative expression of p53 in breast cancer tissues was positively correlated with the efficacy of chemotherapy(r=0.689,P<0.06);Ki-67 positive expression was positively correlated with the efficacy of chemotherapy (r=0.714,P<0.05).Conclusion:The expression of p53 and Ki-67 in breast cancer tissues and its effect on NAC were closely related to the preoperative,and it can be used to determine the effect of NAC by monitoring the expression of p53 and Ki-67.

Objective To analyze the potential risk factors of sudden death at home in senile people. Methods 38 cases of cardiac arrest in a community occurring at home from 1993 to 2004 were retrospectively analyzed. The data concerning their condition of health before death, the diagnosis of the diseases confirmed, the predisposing causes of cardiac arrest, and the season and time of death were collected and analyzed. Results It was found that hypertension, CHD and diabetes were the predominant diseases in senile patients died of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Most of the deaths occurred in April, 73.7% of the deaths occurred during 6:00-18:00, and 81.6% cases occurred in their homes. Conclusion In senile patients, the cardiovascular diseases may be the main risk factors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The patients with myocardial infarction, arrhythmia and heart failure constitute the high risk group of cardiac arrest. Usually death occurs without a portent.
