Objective:To investigate the preparation of paclitaxel-loaded nanoparticles targeting liver cancer stem cells and their effects on liver cancer HepG2 cells (CD133 positive subset accounting for 8%) and Huh-7 cells (CD133 positive subset accounting for 65%).Methods:Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid)-loaded paclitaxel nanoparticles were prepared by using emulsification-solvent evaporation method. Paclitaxel-loaded nanoparticles decorated with anti-CD133 antibody, called targeted nanoparticles, were prepared by using 1- (3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide/N-hydroxysuccinimide (EDC/NHS) cross-linking method. The manifestations and physicochemical characteristics of the nanoparticles including encapsulation efficiency, loading efficiency, particle size distribution, morphology and release in vitro were studied. Liver cancer Huh-7 and HepG2 cells accompanying with paclitaxel-loaded nanoparticles or targeted nanoparticles were cocultured. The uptake and accumulation of nanoparticles by liver cancer cells were analyzed by using flow cytometry, and positive cell proportion of CD133 was also detected. Cell survival was analyzed by using plate clonogenesis assay.Results:Scan electromicroscopy result showed particle size of targeted nanoparticles was (429.26±41.53) nm with zeta potential of -11.2 mV; targeted nanoparticles were possessed with spherical morphology and higher encapsulation efficiency [(87.53±5.90) %]. Flow cytometry showed that in Huh-7 cells at 37℃, the fluorescence intensity of targeted nanoparticles group (13 397±720) was higher than that of paclitaxel-loaded nanoparticles group (6 898±604), and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05); there was no statistically difference in the fluorescence intensity of HepG2 cells in paclitaxel-loaded nanoparticles group and targeted nanoparticles group at 37 ℃ (7 899±343 vs. 8 432±516, P>0.05). CD133 positive cell proportion of Huh-7 cells in targeted nanoparticles group [(15.7±2.6)%] was lower than that in paclitaxel-loaded nanoparticles group [(54.9±7.4)%], and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 7.31, P = 0.008); there was no statistical difference of HepG2 cells between the two goups ( P > 0.05). Plate clonogenesis assay showed that the cell survival rate of Huh-7 cells in targeted nanoparticles group was lower than that in paclitaxel-loaded nanoparticles group at different time points, and the difference was statistically significant ( F = 5.56, P = 0.009); but there was no statistically significant difference in HepG2 cell survival rate between the two groups ( F = 1. 19, P = 0.142). Conclusion:Prepared nanoparticles targeting liver cancer stem cells have a good inhibitory effect on liver cancer Huh-7 cells.

Objective To introduce a new computer-aided technique applicable for myocardial contrast echocardiography(MCE)to quantitate automatically calibrated myocardial contrast intensity(CI)and to test the value of color-coded images of calibrated CI in assessing myocardial perfusion.Methods There were two experimental groups of anesthetized rabbits,which underwent 30 min(group I)and 120 min(groupⅡ)coronary occlusion followed by 60 min reperfusion.MCE was performed on all rabbits during occlusion and after reperfusion,and its images were analyzed by a new computer-aided technique.Myocardial calibrated CI of each segment was measured and a color-coded map was produced automatically by software.The risk areas and infarct sizes obtained by myocardial perfusional defect(MPD)and color-coded map were compared with those by fluorescent microsphere and triphenyl-tetrazolium chloride(TTC)staining.Results Compared with non-risk segments,myocardial CI values were significantly decreased in risk segments in group Ⅰ and Ⅱ before calibration (P＜0.01),however,myocardial calibrated CI values were significantly decreased in risk segments in group Ⅱ(P＜0.01)and not different in group Ⅰ after calibration.Calibrated CI in-70 pix was an optimal cutoff point to identify infarcted segments and to yield the sensitivity of 95% and specificity 87%.The correlation between the risk area by MPD and fluorescent staining was 0.84(P=0.003)whereas color-coded map and staining was 0.91 (P＜0.001).The correlation between the infarct size by MPD and TTC was 0.75(P＜0.001),and between color-coded image and TTC was 0.89(P＜0.001).Conclusions MCE with a new computer-aided technique canassess quantitatively myocardial perfusion and identify automatically risk area and infarct region.

Objective To summarize the characters of the elastograms of different pathological nodules, and to observe the value of elastography in differentiating benign from malignant thyroid solid nodules. Methods One hundred and sixteen patients with thyroid nodules were enrolled in the study and 122 nodules were detected in total. All of them were examined by elastography and conventional ultrasound. Five sonographers were invited to evaluate the nodules double blinded basing on the images and the four-point system proposed by Fukunari. The interobserver agreement was evaluated by Kappa coefficient. Diagnostic performances of the five readers were compared by the ROC curves. Distributions of elastography scores of different pathological nodules were compared by one-way ANOVA. Results Interobserver agreements on scoring the nodules were moderate. Mean value of benign nodules was obvious lower than that of the malignant ones. The mean score of nodular goiters was 2.67 ± 0.89, range from 1 to 3. Most of the adenomas got score of 2, but the score of thyroiditis was quite high. No significant differences were found between the comparison of thyroiditis and thyroid cancers. Areas under the ROC curve (AUC) of the five readers were 0.82,0.81,0.79,0.73 and 0.83 respectively. When 3.5 was choosen as the cut-off point, the sensitivity of elastography was 82.4%, and specificity was 71.6%. Conclusions Elastography was really a useful technique for it can provide a new index for the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules. However, the 4-point score system is not comprehensive enough.

Objective To clone, express Tp0319 gene from Treponemapallidum (T. pallidum), and to assess the immunocompetence of recombinant protein. Methods The immuno-dominant region of Tp0319gene was chosen by computer analysis, amplified from T. pallidum complete genome by PCR, subcloned into the expression vector pQE32 to construct a recombinant plasmid, pQE32/Tp0319, which was then expressed in E. coli M15. The recombinant protein was purified with Ni-NTA affinity chromatography, and identified by using sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electropheresis (SDS-PAGE) and Western blot. New Zealand rabbits were immunized with the recombinant protein, and the titer of anti-Tp0319 antibodies in sera from immunized rabbits were measured with indirect ELISA. Also, indirect ELISA with the recombinant Tp0319 as coating antigen was performed to detect the anti-Tp0319 antibody in sera from 200 normal human controls and 200 patients with syphilis. Results The prokaryotic expression vector pQE32/Tp0319 was constructed successfully, and the recombinant protein Tp0319 with a molecular weight of about 30 000 was attained. Specific humoral response was elicited by the recombinant protein in New Zealand rabbits and the specific antibody titer was more than 1: 10 240 after immunization for 3 times. Western blot proved that the recombinant protein could specifically react with anti-T. pallidum IgG antibody-positive sera. Indirect ELISA was successfully developed with the recombinant Tp0319, and detected antibodies to T. pallidum in control sera with a sensitivity and specificity of 100% (40/40), respectively. Compared with T. pallidum particle agglutination (TPPA) assay, the sensitivity and specificity of the indirect ELISA were 92.6% and 100%, respectively, in the detection of T. pallidum in sera from patients and controls, and the concordance between the indirect ELISA and TPPA was 96%. Conclusions The prepared recombinant protein shows a satisfactory immunocompetence, which may lay a foundation for its further application in the serodiagnosis of syphilis.

Objective To evaluate left ventricular myocardial function of rabbit after ischemiareperfusion using speckle tracking imaging (STI),and to explore the myocardial protect effects of ischemia postconditioning (I-PostC) on reperfusion injury.Methods 24 Japanese rabbits were divided into ischemiareperfusion group (group Ⅰ) and I-PostC group (group Ⅱ) randomly.The characteristic changes of left ventricular global and regional myocardial strain and twist function of two groups were evaluated quantitatively by STI and compared with pathological results.Results ① Global longitudinal systolic strain rate(GLSrsys),global longitudinal systolic strain (GLSsys) and global longitudinal peak strain(GLSp) decreased in both groups,longitudinal systolic strain rate(SrLsys),longitudinal systolic strain(SLsys) and longitudinal peak strain(SLp) in the lateral wall of left ventricle decreased significantly and negative peak of SrLivr and PSI increased after the left ventricular branch of coronary artery was occluded;The values of Ptw and untwR of left ventricle were smaller.② After the artery was released,GLSp recovered in group Ⅱ,which was not seen in group Ⅰ.The values of SrLsys,SLsys and SLp increased significantly and negative peak of SrLivr and PSI decreased in group Ⅱ.However,only Slsys and SLp rebounded in group Ⅰ.Between the 2 groups,SrLsys andSLp in group Ⅱ were higher than that of group Ⅰ (P＜0.05 or 0.01),and SrLivr was lower compared with group Ⅰ (P ＜0.05).In group Ⅱ,Ptw and untwR changed back to a normal range (P ＜0.05 or 0.01),and no index has changed in group Ⅰ ;Between the 2 groups,Ptw and untwR in group Ⅱ were higher than that of group Ⅰ (P ＜0.05).③ The sensitivity and specificity of GLSrsys,GLSsys,SrLsys,SLsys and Ptw to detect rabbit myocardial infarction were 81.3 ％ and 75.0 ％,62.5 ％ and 81.2％,87.5％ and 87.5％,93.8％ and 75.0％,81.3％ and 68.7％ respectively.Conclusions STI may provide a promising approach to evaluate the global and regional myocardial function.It also can observe the protect effects of I-PostC on myocardial reperfusion injury accurately.

Objective To investigate the left ventricular(LV) systolic hemodynamics and the distribution of blood flow in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(HCM) by vector flow mapping(VFM).MethodsThirty-five random non-obstructive HCM patients(case group) and forty healthy volunteers (control group) were enrolled.Peak systolic velocity (Vs),peak systolic flow (Fs) and total systolic negative flow (SQ-) of two groups were compared.Velocity vector,streamline and vortex distribution of two groups were observed.Results Vs,Fs,SQ- of the control group and Vs,Fs of the case group all showed a decreasing trend from the basal segments to the apical segment(P<0.05).SQ- of the case group lost this decreasing tendency.Vs,Fs of all segments and SQ- of the middle and apical segment of the case group were higher than those of the control group.SQ- of the basal segment of the case group were significantly lower than that of the control group(P＜0.01).Distribution of blood flow:The velocity of blood flow was faster in the case group than that in the control group and the direction was disordered.The streamlines of the case group were discontinuous,and vortexes in the case group were more than that in the control group.Conclusions VFM technology could quantitatively evaluate LV systolic hemodynamics in patients with HCM,and can clearly show the distribution of blood flow.
