Purpose The aim is to study the effects of solubl e chit osan on antitumor factors and NK cell activity in rats.Methods The level of NO、TNF produced by peritoneal macrophages,IFN-γ production and NK ce ll activity of spleen was detected,after different concentrations of chitosan we re injected into the sarcoma 180 rats peritoneally.Results Th e cont ents of NO、TNF、IFN-γ and NK cell activity in sacroma 180 rats were significa ntly higher in the chitosan groups than those in the control group (P<0.01) .Conclusion Chitosan could impove the immune function in rats .

Objective To investigate oxygen nebulizer usage among inpatients in an upper first‐class hospital so that this de‐vice can be used by medical personnel and patients properly .Methods Totally 409 patients were investigated about the usage of the device from May 12th to 30th 2014 ,whose outcomes were analyzed by Excel2007 software .Results The total liquid volume of in‐halation on prescription was much larger than the favorable one ,ranging from 4 to 6 mL .And the Oxygen flow ,ranging from 2 .5 to 3 .5 L/min ,was much lower than the normal flow (ranging from 6 to 8 L/min) .In addition ,all patients failed to breathe normally with occasional deep breaths and failed to gargle timely after corticosteroid inhalation .Only 3% patients cleaned their faces after corticosteroid inhalation ,43 .5% patients sit in an upright position ,44 .0% patients kept the nebulizer vertical during treatment .The accuracy rates of mouthpiece position ,the right time to stop nebulizer therapy ,rinsing the nebulizer with sterile or distilled water and allowing to air dry were 95 .1% ,99 .2% ,and 99 .3% ,respectively .Conclusion There are many common patient use nebulizer incorrectlly in the upper first‐class hospital ,and education and guidance by medical personnel should be strengthened .

Recent innovations in nanomaterials inspire abundant novel tumor-targeting CRISPR-based gene therapies. However, the therapeutic efficiency of traditional targeted nanotherapeutic strategies is limited by that the biomarkers vary in a spatiotemporal-dependent manner with tumor progression. Here, we propose a self-amplifying logic-gated gene editing strategy for gene/H2O2-mediated/starvation multimodal cancer therapy. In this approach, a hypoxia-degradable covalent-organic framework (COF) is synthesized to coat a-ZIF-8 in which glucose oxidase (GOx) and CRISPR system are packaged. To intensify intracellular redox dyshomeostasis, DNAzymes which can cleave catalase mRNA are loaded as well. When the nanosystem gets into the tumor, the weakly acidic and hypoxic microenvironment degrades the ZIF-8@COF to activate GOx, which amplifies intracellular H+ and hypoxia, accelerating the nanocarrier degradation to guarantee available CRISPR plasmid and GOx release in target cells. These tandem reactions deplete glucose and oxygen, leading to logic-gated-triggered gene editing as well as synergistic gene/H2O2-mediated/starvation therapy. Overall, this approach highlights the biocomputing-based CRISPR delivery and underscores the great potential of precise cancer therapy.
