Objective To explore the influence of polyamine-cholesterol cationic liposome (PCL)-mediated CpGODN aerosol on eosinophiles in the lung tissue of mouse asthma model. Methods Mouse asthma model was replicated by challenging with 1% ovalbumin aerosol. Mice were categonied into four groups, namely normal control, asthma control, CpGODN/PCL treatment group and CpGODN treatment group (6 each). The left lungs of mice were harvested, serially sectioned, hematoxylin and eosin (HE)-stained, and the infiltration of eosinophiles (EOS) was examined under microscope. Meanwhile, the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected for total and eosinophil cells count. Results An ovalbumin challenged mouse asthma model was successfully replicated. Pathological observation of the lung of asthma control showed increase in mucous secretion in alveolar space and peribronchial infiltration of large amount of inflammatory cells, primarily EOS and lymphocytes. The total cell number, EOS number and the ratio in BALF were significantly higher in asthma control group compared with that in both normal control group and CpGODN treatment group (P

Objective: To examine the effect of lifestyle behaviors on myopia among primary and middle school students in Yinzhou District, Ningbo City using latent class analysis, so as to provide insights into prevention of myopia among primary and middle school students. Methods: A total of 1 547 students were sampled from primary and middle schools in Yinzhou District using a stratified cluster sampling method. Myopia-associated lifestyle behaviors were collected using questionnaires, and visual acuity was tested. Myopia-associated lifestyle behaviors were subjected to latent class analysis among primary and middle school students, and the association between lifestyle behaviors and risk of myopia was examined using a logistic regression model. Results: A total of 1 547 questionnaires were allocated, and 1 494 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 96.57%. There were 247 primary school students (16.53%), 452 junior high school students (30.25%), 532 senior high school students (35.61%) and 263 vocational high school students (17.60%), and 773 men (51.74%) and 721 women (48.26%). Latent class analysis showed that students' lifestyle behaviors were classified into three groups, including the healthy behavior group (37.68%), reading and writing fatigue group (42.64%), and video fatigue and poor diet group (19.68%), with myopia prevalence of 79.22%, 88.38% and 86.73%, respectively. Moderate myopia was predominant in the reading and writing fatigue group and video fatigue and poor diet group, and low myopia was predominant in the healthy behavior group. A higher risk of myopia was found in the reading and writing fatigue group (OR=1.996, 95%CI: 1.454-2.739) and video fatigue and poor diet group (OR=1.715, 95%CI: 1.157-2.543) than in the healthy behavior group. Conclusions Long reading and writing duration, insufficient exercise and sleep, long video watching duration, and high intake frequency of sugary drinks and fried foods may increase the risk of myopia in primary and middle school students in Yinzhou District. Targeted myopia interventions are required tailored to different categories of lifestyle behaviors.

Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer.18F-FDG PET-CT imaging-positive rate is low due to a variety of factors affecting the hepatoma cells.But the joint imaging can significantly improve the diagnostic positive rate and provide the basic information for treatment selection and prognosis.PET-CT is better than conventional imaging techniques in the diagnosis and therapy monitoring for metastatic liver cancer.

Objective: To prepare Danshen Injection (Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae) by micelle-ultrafiltration. Methods: For preparing Danshen Injection, we packed the impurities in the macrofiltered liquor of Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae with micelle of Tween-80, and ultrafiltered the compounds with ultrafiltration membrane withholding molecular weight more than 50000. Then we evaluated the process with the comprehensive indexes including loss rate of UV absorbance, loss rate of Protocatechualdehyde and the stability of transparence. Conclusion: The process of Danshen Injection prepared by micelle-ultrafiltration is better than that of ordinary ultrafiltration.

Nuclear factor erythroid-2 related factor 2 ( Nrf2 ) is an important nuclear transcription factor which protects cells a-gainst oxidative stress injury. Upon exposure to reactive oxygen species ( ROS) or electrophilic stress, Nrf2 can translocate into the nucleus, and then bind to the antioxidant response element ( ARE) , regulating the expression of several antioxidant enzymes and phase Ⅱ detoxifying enzymes which aimed at the detoxifica-tion and elimination of harmful exogenous chemicals, resulting in the facilitation of hepatoprotection. Oxidative stress is the com-mon pathogenesis of many liver diseases, while the Nrf2-ARE signaling pathway is extremely important in the prevention and progression of many liver diseases. Nrf2 has more recently been implicated as a new therapeutic target in treating liver diseases. Here, we focus on the most common liver diseases and the devel-opment of these conditions where activation of Nrf2 may alleviate disease progression, so as to provide reference for related re-search in the future.

This study examined the effects of TRAIL-endostatin-based gene-radiotherapy on cellular growth, apoptosis and cell cycle progression in human vascular endothelial cells ECV304 in vitro. The expression of TRAIL and endostatin protein in ECV304 cells was detected by ELISA after the transfection of recombinant plasmid pshuttle-Egr1-shTRAIL-shES and X-ray irradiation. Then MTT assay was used for determining the cellular proliferation, and flow cytometry (FCM) plus Annexin V and propidium iodide (PI) double-staining or PI single-staining were employed for the detection of apoptosis and cell cycle progression. The results showed that expression of TRAIL and endostatin protein exhibited a time- and dose-dependent change in ECV304 cells after pshuttle-Egr1-shTRAIL-shES transfection in conjunction with irradiation. In the TRAIL-endostatin-based single- or double-gene-radiotherapy, the cell viability declined in a time- and dose-dependent manner, the percentage of cells at G(2)/M phase and apoptotic rate was increased, and the percentage of cells at G(0)/G(1) phase was lowered as compared with those receiving radiotherapy alone. Moreover, TRAIL-endostatin-based double-gene-radiotherapy demonstrated better effects on growth inhibition, promotion of apoptosis and induction of cell cycle arrest in ECV304 cells than single-gene-radiotherapy.
