2.Preparation and controlled release of berberine magnetic gelatin drug microsphere
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2009;13(47):9287-9290
BACKGROUND: Research about magnetic drug microsphere has developed rapidly at home or abroad; additionally, previous studies have been focused on glucan, chitosan, and polyester as coating materials; however, gel material has been less reported,in particular gel-coating berberine microsphere has been not reported yet.OBJECTIVE: To prepare berberine magnetic gelatin drug microsphere, and to evaluate drug releasing, loading, and cross-linking using dynamic dialysis and light electron microscope.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Preparation and property of microsphere were performed in Guizhou Yikang Pharmacy Co., Ltd.And Guizhou University from February 2004 to May 2006.MATERIALS: Gel, berberine, glutaraldehyde, liquid paraffin, and Fe_3O_4 were used in this study.METHODS: Magnetic microspheres of berberine drug with gelatin and Fe_3O_4 were prepared by a reverse phase suspension cold-condensation method according to biocompatibility of gel, solidification of glutaraldehyde, and disperse medium of liquid paraffin.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Structure, morphology, drug-loading rate, entrapment efficiency, and in vitro releasing of drug microsphere.RESULTS: The diameter of the microsphere was under 20 urn. Scanning electron microscope demonstrated that Fe_3O_4 and berberine were compounded by gel into a round shape, and the mixture was expressed on micrometer. Ultraviolet absorption and infrared analysis suggested that berberine magnetic gelatin drug microsphere still had structure and property of raw drug. The drug-loading rate of berberine microsphere was 7.2%, the content of Fe_3O_4 was 20.8%, and the entrapment efficiency was 62.6%.the sustained-releasing ability of microsphere was well, and the releasing content counted for 83.5% of total drug within 7 hours.CONCLUSION: The berberine magnetic gelatin drug microsphere which was prepared by reverse phase suspension cold-condensation method characterizes by sample preparation, small diameter, regular morphology, and great sustained-releasing ability.
3.Roles of integrin and vascular endothelial growth factor in angiogenesis
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2003;0(08):-
Integrin is a main factor that mediates adhesive attraction between the cell and the extracellular matrix,and it participates in the formation of new vessel lumens and the construction of the rete vasculosum by regulating endothelial cell adhesion and migration.The extracellular matrix is the ligand of integrin.Collagen and laminin's deposition form new vessel lumens.The vascular endothelial growth factor promotes the proliferation of endothelial cells,accelerates angiogenesis and increases the permeability of blood vessels.This review focuses on the roles and correlation of integrin and VEGF in angiogenesis.

Objective:To investigate the expression of collagen typeⅠ(ColⅠ),collagen typeⅣ(ColⅣ)and fibronectin(Fn)in laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas(LSCC)and their pathobiological relationship with invasion and metastasis of tumor.Method:The expression of ColⅠ,Col Ⅳ and Fn was detected by immunohistochemistry method in normal tissue of latero-carcinoma and tissue of carcinoma in 60 specimens of LSCC.Integral optical density(iOD)was detected by image analysis of computer and was analyzed by SPSS13.O.Result:The expression of ColⅠ was obvious and integrity.The expression of Col Ⅳ and Fn of basal membrane was like intact line-shape appearance and Fn of interstitial substance appeared like a complete network in the normal tissue f latero-carcinoma.Their expression decreased gradually and their integrity was broken and disappeared gradually from well to poorly differentiated LSCC.Their expressions also fell off with the tumor size,clinical stage and cervical lymphatic etastasis gradually and consistently in LSCC.Their variances were statistical significance separately(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusion:The expression of ColⅠ,ColⅣand Fn was closely related to tumor invasion,the regional lymph node metastasis and other some pathobiological features in LSCC.A detection of ColⅠ,ColⅣ and Fn as of definite significance on a better comprehension of the possibility of metastasis,choice of surgery and prognosis.

Objective To investigate the value of pulmonary function tests in the diagnosis and treatment of children with refractory mycoplasmapneumoniae pneumonia.Methods The clinical data of 58 children with refractory mycoplasmapneumoniae pneumonia (RMPP) from May 2015 to February 2016 were retrospectively analyzed in the Department of Paediawics, Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University.They have done bronchoscopy and interventional therapy in the acute phase.Pulmonary function test was performed 24 hours before bronchoscope examinations.The endoscopic manifestation and pulmonary function data were analysed in the study.According to whether the mucosa of endoscopic manifestation is complete, fifty-eight cases were divided into mild group and severe group, record the pulmonary function indexes of each of the children.Results Severe group decreased than mild group, both of large airway pulmonary function in children with acute severe MPP (FVC, FEV1, PEF) and small airway index (FEF25, FEF50, FEF75, FEF25-75%), and the difference was significant(P < 0.05).Conclusion In the acute phase, there may be different pulmonary function,such as, expressed as a normal, performance of the restrictive or obstructive ventilation dysfunction, performance ofrnixed ventilatory dysfunction, The most common one is the change of small airway function.The more severe of the endoscopic manifestation in RMPP acute phase, the more severe the same period of pulmonary function index decreased degree.The severity of RMPP in children can be predicted by the classification and severity of pulmonary function,it can be used as an important basis for the early identification of severe MPP.Pulmonary function indicators may further guide the need for bronchoscopy intervention treatment and to evaluate the curative effect.

Objective: To observe the effects of electroacupuncture combining with behavior therapy on the adaptive behavior ability in children with autism. Methods: Sixty children with autism were divided into a treatment group and a control group with 30 cases in each group. Children in the treatment group were treated with electroacupuncture and behavior therapy, and children in the control group with behavior therapy. The adaptive behavior quotient (ABQ) and the effects were evaluated with adaptive behavior scale before and after treatments. Results: After treatments, ABQ in the treatment group was higher than before treatments (P<0.05), and the difference (6.15±5.412) was higher than that in the control group (3.20±4.348) with a significant difference (P<0.05). The adaptive behavior ability in the treatment group was better than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion:Electroacupuncture combining with behavior therapy can significantly improve the adaptive behavior ability in children with autism.

To compare the efficiency of methods of DNA extraction from lungs of Pomacea canaliculataused in PCR assay, 80 P.canaliculata collected in field were divided into 8 groups and the lungs of each snail were separated from the soft body. Six methods of DNA extraction from lungs of P. canaliculata were used to extract DNA from lungs, i.e. With Qiagen, Tiangen,and Omega commercial DNA extraction kits, guanidine thiocyanate method, Chelex 100 resin method and Chelex-silica particle method. The 16S rDNA of C.canaliculata was amplified by PCR and the concentration of PCR-products relative to marker was determined in order to evaluate the efficiency of each method. It was demonstrated that each method was valid to extract DNA from lungs used in PCR assay, but the concentrations of PCR-products were different. The concentrations of PCR-products obtained by Qiangen kit, Omega kit, Chelex 100 resin method and Chelex-silica particle method were significantly higher than those of other 4 methods of DNA extraction, in which Qiangen and Omega kits were suitable for small sample size. In term of efficiency and cost, Chelex 100 method and Chelex-silica particle method were feasible for large sample scale, while the guanidine thiocyanate method was preferred due to its fast extraction and low cost, but on account of its toxicity, it is used in urgent status or in large scale of sample extraction.
