1.Application of nanoliposomes in tumor therapy and imaging monitoring
Journal of International Oncology 2010;37(8):587-590
Nanoliposomes are used as a delivery vehicle of drugs or genes in the targeted treatment of cancer and in gene therapy respectively. These treatment methods have shown better therapeutic effects when compared with conventional therapeutic methods. Nanoliposome are also being used to deliver imaging contrast agents in the targeted imaging of cancer cells and angiogenesis, which can result in better monitoring of patients' response to therapy.

Objective To discuss the value of MRI in diagnosis of complications related to pregnancy.Methods MRI were per-formed in 22 cases of late pregnancy,7 cases of postpartum with vagina bleeding,and 1 case with eight weeks of gestation following irregular vagina bleeding,respectively.The position of placenta and umbilical cord were observed in the cases of late pregnancy.The shape and signal features of embryo were evaluated in the case of eight weeks gestation following irregular vagina bleeding.Residual placenta and its relationship with the wall of uterus were analyzed in the cases of postpartum with vagina bleeding.Results Among the 22 cases of late pregnancy,normal position of placenta were in 4 cases,placenta previa were in 18 cases,umbilical cord winding around fetal neck in 8 cases.9 cases of placenta previa complicated with placenta accreta were comfirmed by cesarean delivery,how-ever,only 6 cases of placenta accreta were detected on MRI.The residual placenta with placenta accreta was found in all 7 cases of postpartum patients.Hydatidiform mole was proved by pathology in the case of eight weeks gestation following irregular vagina bleeding,and it was showed as a mass with hypointensity on T1 WI and hyperintensity on T2 WI in uterine cavity.Conclusion The complications related to pregnancy such as placenta previa,umbilical cord winding around fetal neck,residual placenta,placenta ac-creta could be correctly displayed on MRI.Hydatidiform mole also could be diagnosed by combining the clinical symptoms with MR images.

Objective To explore the bone mineral density (BMD) status and its influencing factors in schizophrenia patients in order to provide basis for risk assessment in psychiatric nursing.Methods A total of 1,139 hospitalized schizophrenia patients were recruited and assigned into the medication group (n=652) and the non-medication group (n=487) according to previous antipsychotic drug history.T-score and Z-score of BMD were determined using Sunlight Omnisense 7000S Bone Densitometry.Blood calcium,blood phosphorus and serum prolactin levels were measured using fasting blood of ulnar vein.Results Differences in age,BMD,milk intake,level of activity,level of smoking,history of fall,history of fracture,serum Ca2+ and PRL were statistically significant between two groups(P<0.05);there were significant differences in BMD rank distributions among schizophrenia patients with different courses of disease and lengths of taking antipsychotics (P<0.001);multiple linear regression showed that influencing factors of BMD with statistical significance were courses of disease,lengths of taking antipsychotics,serum Ca2+,serum PRL,milk intake,level of activity,and level of smoking.Conclusion The BMD was lower in the medication group than that in the non-medication group,and the development of osteoporosis was correlated to various factors.Clinical nurses should master high-risk factors thoroughly and adopt intervention measures in a timely manner.

In this study, the virtual simulation tutoring system was applied to the teaching of dental residents in the standardized training stage for the first time, including the curriculum preparation, curriculum design and teaching practice. Through the practice of the preparation of class Ⅱ holes and the tooth preparation of PFM (porcelain fused to metal) by the dental residents in the virtual simulation teaching system, the teaching arrangement of three courses as one term was explored. Each course adopted the matching interactive teaching mode. Finally, the transcripts would be given by the virtual simulation teaching system to comment and summarize. This study has laid a foundation for future promotion of virtual simulation teaching system in the standardized training stage of stomatology residents and found a new direction for improving the proficiency and accuracy of residents' clinical operation skills.

Novel aminopropyl-functionalized periodic mesoporous organosilicas (APMO) were successfully prepared by co-condensation of 1,2-bis (triethoxysilyl) ethane (BTSE) and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) with the template of cationic surfactants cetyltrimethylammonium chlorine (C_(18)TAC) in basic medium.With the characterization measurements of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD),FT-IR and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) so on,APMO had such advantages as good monodisperse microshperes,uniformly orderd mesopore and large specific surface areas.These mesoporous materials were directly considered to be the chromatographic stationary phases and analyzed by HPLC evaluation.During the research,the as-prepared APMO column had better permeability and three polycyclic aromatic compounds realized separation.In addition,the as-prepared APMO column had certain advantages in fast analysis.

Objective To observe the effects of psychological stress on the levels of Hcy and folate in rats. Method The Wistar rats were randomly assigned to three groups as follows:control,stress and stress with folate supplement. The animal model of psychological stress was developed by restraint. Results The levels of Hcy both in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid were increased and not only the level of folate in plasma but also in cortex,hippocampus,liver and mucous membrane epithelium of small intestine were decreased under restraint stress. Folate supplement could improve the depletion of folate and the increase of Hcy induced by restraint. Conclusion The depletion of folate may be one of the important factors of high Hcy level induced by psychological stress.

Objective To teach the intellectuals how to adapt psychological stress and improve health by rational nutrition and health education. Method The propaganda and education on the role of nutrients in increasing the adaptive ability to psychological stress and ameliorating related diseases were used, mainly in the way of seminar and consultation, and the psychological status was evaluated by testing A-type behavior, anxiety and depression, and determining the concentration of saliva cortisol, serum homocysteine and lipid peroxides. Results After education, A type behavior, SDS total scores and the concentration of saliva cortisol, serum homocysteine and lipid peroxides were decreased dramatically, indicating that the psychological stress of intellectuals was effectively reliveved. Conclusion Nutritional propaganda and education can significantly improve intellectuals’ psychological health status.

Objective To examine the possibility that homocysteine(Hcy) may augment ?-amyloid(A?) neurotoxicity.Method Cultured hippocampal neurons were treatd with Hcy and/or A?42 and it's apoptosis,calcium influx,DNA damage and oxidative injury were examined.Results Combined treatment with 250?mol/L Hcy and 10?mol/L A?42 increased the apoptosis rate of hippocampal neurons significantly more than either agent alone,and even the sum of each agent treated alone.The combined treatment significantly exceeded the cytosolic calcium accumulation and MDA obtained with either alone or the sum of each agent.A significant increase in DNA damage also occurred in neurons exposed to A?42 in the presence of Hcy,but the magnitude of the increase was not greater than that seen with either treatment alone.Conclusion Hcy could potentiate A? neurotoxicity by neuron exitotoxicity,oxidative stress and inducing apoptosis.

Objective: To observe the effects of vitamin A (VA)-fortified edible oil on improving the immune function of children. Method: The marginally VA-deficient children were selected as volunteers in four cities of China. Nutritional intervention was conducted in the children with edible oil fortified with VA 7500?g/kg for five months. The VA level, the contents of IgA,IgG,IgM and complement C3 in sera of the volunteers were detected at the end of intervention. Results: The levels of VA, IgA,and C3 in sera of the intervention group were significantly higher than those of the control group, but no differences of IgG and IgM were observed. Conclusion:The VA status and immune function of the AD children could be effectively improved with vitamin A-fortified edible oil.
