Aim To study the preparation of α-cobro-toxin-loaded poly ( lactide-co-glycolide ) microspheres and their analgesic effect. Method The microspheres were prepared by modified water-in-oil-in-oil ( w/o/o ) emulsion solvent evaporation method. A tail flick assay was used to evaluate the analgesic activity of the micro-spheres after nasal administration. Result The micro-spheres with high entrapment efficiency ( >80%) and average diameter of about 25 μm could be prepared by modified water-in-oil-in-oil ( w/o/o ) emulsion solvent evaporation method. A tail flick assy showed the evi-dence for their analgesic effect. Conclusion When Chinese cobraneurotoxin is loaded into microsphere and then the microsphere is administered through nasal cav-ity, its analgesic effect is enhanced significantly.

Objective To explore the value of biomechanics parameter of rabbit abdominal aortic atheroma using velocity vector imaging(VVI).Methods Ten of 45 male New Zealand rabbits were chosen as normal control group randomly,the rest experimental rabbits were made atheromatous plaque model.The rabbits were examined by two-dimensional ultrasound and VVI respectively.The intima-media thickness(IMT) or thickness of plaques of abdominal aorta 1 cm from right renal artery branch were recorded.Maximum tangential velocity,strain and strain rate of IMT or plaques were measured using VVI.Then the rabbits were killed for pathological and immuno-histochemical examination.Results Based on pathology,the rabbites were divided into 4 groups:control group(group A,n=10),group of pathological endometrial thickening(group B,n=9),group of thick fibrous cap atheromatous plaques (group C,n=15) and group of thin fibrous cap atheromatous plaques (group D,n=11).The difference of plaques thickness and biochemical indicators had no statistically significant between group B and C(P>0.05),both bigger than group A and B (P<0.05).The difference of Vmax,Smax and SRmax had statistically significant each group(P<0.05).With Vmax>0.46×10-2 cm/s,Smax>0.37%,SRmax>1.415×10-2 s-1 to find the vulnerable plaques,the sensitivity were 75.0%,84.4%,84.4% respectively,specificity were 70.8%,91.7%,83.3% respectively.Conclusions VVI can identify plaque biomechanics parameter of different progression periods,which is expected to be a reliable method to find vulnerable plaques earlier in clinic.

Objective To explore the value of abdominal aorta strain reserve(SR) of rabbits during the period of early atherosclerosis using velocity vector imaging(VVI) techniques combined with nitroglycerin (NTG) vasodilation experiment.Methods Fifty-two male New Zealand White rabbits were used in this experiment.Group A(n=12) was the normal control group.Forty rabbits were made into atherosclerosis models.The SR of abdominal aortas of all rabbits were analyzed in short axis views using VVI and NTG vasodilation experiment at the forth week and the eighth week after feeding.The period of atherosclerosis into endothelial injury stage(group B) and intima thickening stage(group C) were divided.Results There were eighteen rabbits at the endothelial injury stage in group B and thirteen at the intima thickening stage in group C.Compared with control group,arterial SR values of group B and group C were significantly decreased in turn [4.13±1.21＞2.31±0.89＞1.22±0.77,Z=-2.978,P=0.003;Z=1.959,P=0.001],IMT of group C was significantly higher than that of group A(Z=-3.108,P=0.002),strain of group C was significantly lower than that of group A(Z=-2.415,P=0.016),the strain and IMT had no significant difference among three groups except group A and group C (P>0.05).A cut-off value was 3.67 of SR for diagnosing the endothelial injury aretary had a sensitivity of 70% and spectificity of 92.3% respectively obtained by the area under the ROC curve.The agreement of this diagnosis was very good.Conclusions The variable of the SR could stand for the variable of the vascular elasticity during the period of the early atherosclerosis.VVI and NTG vasodilation experiment could quantitatively assess SR of abdominal aortas of rabbits.

The 1,095 bp gene encoding peroxidase from Coprinus cinereus was synthesized and integrated into the genome of Pichia pastoris with a highly inducible alcohol oxidase. The recombinant CiP (rCiP) fused with the a-mating factor per-pro leader sequence derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae was secreted into the culture medium and identified as the target protein by mass spectrometry, confirming that a C. cinereus peroxidase (CiP) was successfully expressed in P. pastoris. The endoplasmic reticulum oxidoreductase 1 (Ero1) and protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) were co-expressed with rCiP separately and simultaneously. Compared with the wild type, overexpression of PDI and Erol-PDI increaseed Cip activity in 2.43 and 2.6 fold and their activity reached 316 U/mL and 340 U/mL respectively. The strains co-expressed with Erol-PDI was used to high density fermentation, and their activity reached 3,379 U/mL, which was higher than previously reported of 1,200 U/mL.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of the Barth syndrome (BTHS).MethodsClinical data were collected and analyzed from 3 patients with conifrmed genetic diagnosis of BTHS from June 2013 to October 2014.ResultsAll of the 3 patients were males and two of them were twins. The main clinical manifes-tations of the 3 patients were cardiomyopathy and heart failure, accompanied by different degrees of trabeculations of the left ventricle. Two of them were diagnosed of left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC). All of the 3 patients presented with motor retardation, muscle weakness, growth delay and signiifcantly increased urinary excretion of 3-methylglutaconic acid (3-MGC). One patient was found to have neutropenia. All 3 patients hadTAZ gene mutations which included a novel missense mutation (c.527A>G, p.H176R) detected in the twins and a known nonsense mutation (c.367C>T, p.R123X) identiifed in the other patient. All of the mutations were inherited from their mothers. During the follow-up, the twins died at 7 months old and 7.5 months old respectively. The other patient was still alive.ConclusionBTHS is one of the causes of cardiomyopathy in children. In the male patients who presented with muscle weakness, neutropenia, and increased urinary excretion of 3-MGC, especially in those com-bined with LVNC, BTHS should be screened.

The concentrations of borneol in the serum and brain tissue of rats were determined by gas chromatography. Using brain tissue as a relatively independent system, PHARMFIT and PCNONLIN softwares are applied for the kinetic analysis of the infracorporal process of borneol in order to find out and compare the pharmacokinetic characteristics of borneol in the brain and serum. The results showed that borneol was absorbed very rapidly in the gastrointestinal tract and readily permeates the blood-brain barrier into brain tissue. There was a higher specific value of borneol concentration in the brain and serum. Moreover, the half life of distribution phase of borneol in the brain was three times higher than that in the serum. But the constants of elimination rate of borneol in the brain and serum decreased simultaneously and parallelly, hence the accumulation of borneol in brain will not be found.
