Cancer is one of the three major killers that threatened human health in the twenty-first century,making the early diagnose and high-efficiency therapy crucial.The recent-developed nanotechnology brings new hope for this.Among different nanomaterials,magnetic nanoparticles show positive effects in diagnosis and therapies since they can be located with certain magnetic fields and can vibrate and heat up in the alternating magnetic field.With the ever increasing attention paid to the study,magnetic nanoparticles will play a key role in cancer diagnosis and therapy.This review gives a comprehensive discussion on development of the research and applications of magnetic nanoparticles,including single metallic,double metallic and alloyed magnetic nanoparticles.Moreover,it also prospects the future developing orientations of magnetic nanotechnology.Magnetic nanoparticles are widely used these days,with a speedy research development both in theory and application.However,the investigations into the toxicity of magnetic nanoparticles and the medical and commercial standards have to continue before magnetic nanoparticles are determined as valid and with low toxicity.
5.Polymorph transformation of solid drugs.
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica 2015;50(5):521-7
For the minimized phase transtorming risk, the most stable polymorph is generally considered as the desirable solid form for pharmaceutical applications. However, occasionally, the stable form may have some shortcomings such as low solubility, dissolution rate and bioavailability, etc. In that case, the metastable form which is kinetically stable at room or lower temperature could be selected. Using metastable form may result in polymorph transformation in pharmaceutical manufacture and storage. Hence, the knowledge of the transformation between solid forms is essential to the development of the drug materials. In this paper, we will review the recent studies in the area of crystal conversion of polymorphs and hydrates, to illustrate some cases to introduce the types, conditions and mechanisms of the crystalline solid transformation.

8.Evaluation of SYNTAX score in predicting prognosis of patients with unprotected left main coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention
Tianjin Medical Journal 2016;44(8):947-950
Objective To evaluate the long-term prognostic capacity of the SYNTAX score Ⅱ(SxScore Ⅱ) and SYNTAX score (SxScore) in patients undergoing left main percutaneous coronary intervention (LM-PCI). Methods A total of 209 patients undergoing unprotected LM-PCI in the Cardiology Department of the Affiliated Hospital of PAP of Logistic College were prospectively collected. Follow up was carried out by telephone or outpatient or rehospitalization. The clinical endpoint focused on MACCE after PCI including composite death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization and stroke. The secondary endpoint included cardiac death and stent thrombosis. The SxScore and SxScoreⅡ were retrospectively calculated according to results of coronary angiography and clinical features of patients. Patients were stratified according to tertiles of low (≤22), intermediate (23-32), and high (≥33). The clinical data were comparedbetween three groups. The predictive ability of two scoring systems to MACCE after PCI was compared by COX regression evaluation. Results In 209 patients, 12 patients were lost to follow-up (5.7%), and the median follow-up was 30.2 months, 56 cases (28.4%) were observed to suffer from MACCE. The incidence rates of MACCE were 19.0%, 28.6%and 44.4%in SxScore low, intermediate and high groups respectively. The incidence rates of MACCE were 12.8%, 23.8%and 45.5%in SxScoreⅡlow, intermediate and high groups respectively. Single factor analysis showed that SxScore, SxScoreⅡ, age, diabetes and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were the independent predictors of MACCE. Multivariate analysis showed that SxScore and SxScoreⅡwere still risk independent predictors for MACCE. Conclusion Both SxScore and SxScoreⅡare independent risk predictors for MACCE in patients with unprotected left main coronary artery disease undergoing PCI treatment.
9.Effects of Morphine on μOpioid Receptor-mediated ERK Phosphorylation
Herald of Medicine 2014;(11):1446-1449
Objective To study the phosphorylation mode of extracellular regulated kinase( ERK)induced by acute and chronic morphine treatment on Chinese hamster ovary( CHO)cells expressed withμopioid receptors. Methods The time course of ERK phosphorylation 1 h and 36 h after morphine exposure as well as naloxone-precipitated withdrawal was detected by immunobloting. Results A transient enhancement of ERK phosphorylation was induced by 1 μmol · L-1 morphine with the peak effect at 5 min(P〈0. 01),and the effect was dose-dependent. No difference in ERK phosphorylation was found after 36h of treatment with 10 μmol · L-1 morphine compared with the control. However,5 or 10 min-naloxone precipitation induced remarkable decrease in ERK phosphorylation compared with the control(P〈0. 01). Conclusion Different changes of ERK phosphorylation were found under acute and chronic morphine treatment and naloxone precipitation,indicating a compensation of ERK related pathway induced byμ opioid receptors.
10.Advances in protective effects of thyroid hormone on myocardial mitochondria by sirtuins
Tianjin Medical Journal 2017;45(1):108-112
Many studies have confirmed that thyroid hormone (TH) and mitochondria have protective effects on myocardium. The partial subtype of sirtuins (SIRTs) can also be able to protect myocardium by mitochondria, which includes improving ischemia reperfusion injury, improving the pathological cardiac hypertrophy and improvement of heart failure. SIRTs can achieve the protective effect for myocardium mainly through inhibiting mitochondrial permeability transition pore and mitochondrial membrane permeabilization, maintaining balance of regulation of mitochondrial morphology, promoting mitochondrial biogenesis, maintaining the function of autophagy of impaired mitochondria. At the same time, there is an interaction between TH and SIRTs. At present, the role of mitochondria has become more and more concerned in apoptosis and necrosis and its protective effect on cells. This review summarized the protective effect of SIRTs on myocardium through mitochondrial and the influence of the interaction between SIRTs and TH on myocardial protection of mitochondrial.
