Journal of China Pharmaceutical University 2018;49(2):165-172
Carbon nanotubes have become a kind of superior antitumor drug and gene carrier due to their special cylindrical structure with high loading capacity and easy penetration into the cell membrane. With the gradual development of researches on carbon nanotubes, their applications in tumor photothermal therapy and diagnosis have also become current research hotspots. However, chemical inertness and aggregation of carbon nanotubes have limited their clinical application. To overcome their drawbacks, researchers would functionalize the carbon nanotubes before further researches. In this article, applications of functionalized carbon nanotubes in cancer chemotherapy and gene therapy, photothermal therapy and cancer diagnosis are summarized.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors of clinical pregnancy outcomes in patients with hydrosalpinx undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer(IVF-ET) after interventional embolization and whether residual hydrops has an adverse impact on pregnancy outcomes.Methods:Clinical data from 65 patients who underwent interventional embolization and IVF-ET for hydrosalpinx at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from March 2021 to October 2022 were collected retrospectively. The hydrops index was quantified by the ratio of the widest diameter to the pelvic transverse diameter of the intraoperative hydrops, and the patient′s age, body mass index(BMI), follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH), lutenizing hormine(LH), estradiol(E2), automated matetials hangling(AMH), endometrial thickness at the time of transplantation, the number of transplanted embryos, embryo type, and location of the hydrosalpinx were recorded. In addition, the clinical pregnancy outcomes of the first transplantation after embolization were followed. Two independent samples t-test, rank sum test and chi-square test were used to analyze the difference of the above indexes among different clinical pregnancy outcomes by SPSS 25.0. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and Youden index were used to calculate the cut-off value of the water accumulation index. Results:Among 65 patients, the clinical pregnancy rate was 63.1%(41/65), among the 45 patients who underwent embryo transfer before embolization without success, the clinical pregnancy rate after embolization was 62.2%(28/45). Based on data analysis, it showed that IVF-ET clinical pregnancy outcomes were not associated with age, BMI, FSH, LH, E2, AMH, endometrial thickness at the time of transplantation, the number of transplanted embryos, embryo type, as well as location of hydrosalpinx( P>0.05), but associated with hydrosalpinx index( P<0.001). ROC curve analysis showed that the hydrops index could be used as a predictor of pregnancy outcome, and the area under the curve was 0.825, and the optimal cut-off value of the hydrops index was 12.925% based on the Youden index analysis result. Conclusions:Interventional embolization of hydrosalpinx may improve clinical pregnancy rates. When the hydrosalpinx is large enough, it could adversely affected IVF-ET clinical pregnancy, and further aspiration of hydrosalpinx should be performed prior to transplantation.

AIM:To explore the mechanisms behind the inhibition of lymphangiogenesis in pregnant rats with obstructive nephropathy and assess the protective effects on kidney function.METHODS:Forty nulliparous female Wi-star rats were randomly assigned to four groups:sham operation,sham operation+pregnancy,model,and Esaxerenone groups,with 10 rats in each group.Renal injury was induced in the model and Esaxerenone groups via unilateral ureteral obstruction(UUO).The other two groups underwent ureteral dissociation without ligation.Nine weeks post-UUO,female rats in the sham operation+pregnancy,model,and Esaxerenone groups were mated with male rats(2:1 ratio)to establish a rat model of obstructive nephropathy during pregnancy.Starting the day after UUO,rats in the Esaxerenone group re-ceived Esaxerenone at 1 mg·kg-1·d-1.On the 18th day of pregnancy,24-hour urine was collected using metabolic cages.The following day,the rats were sacrificed,serum samples collected,and the contralateral kidney removed.Blood urea ni-trogen(BUN)was measured using standard biochemical methods,and endogenous creatinine clearance rate(Ccr)was calculated.Kidney tissue pathology was assessed using HE,Masson,and Sirius red staining.Serum aldosterone levels were determined via ELISA.Immunohistochemistry,real-time PCR,and Western blot were employed to assess mineralo-corticoid receptor(MR)activation,lymphangiogenesis,signaling pathways,and fibrosis-related markers.RESULTS:Renal function tests revealed increased BUN levels and decreased Ccr in the model group(P<0.01).Pathological exami-nation showed dilated renal tubules,significant collagen deposition,and inflammatory cell infiltration in the model group.ELISA results indicated a significant increase in serum aldosterone levels in the model group(P<0.01).Immunohisto-chemistry showed enhanced nuclear translocation of MR in the kidneys of the model group post-activation.Western blot and real-time PCR demonstrated a marked increase in neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin(NGAL)expression in the model group(P<0.01).Additionally,the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor C(VEGF-C)and its receptor VEGFR3 was significantly elevated in the renal tubulointerstitium of the model group,as shown by both immunohistochem-istry and real-time PCR(P<0.01).The PI3K/Akt signaling pathway was activated in the model group,with significantly increased phosphorylation levels observed primarily in renal tubular epithelial and interstitial cells(P<0.01).Collagen type III(Col III)expression,primarily in the renal tubulointerstitium,was also significantly upregulated in the model group,consistent with real-time PCR results(P<0.01).Esaxerenone treatment improved renal function,reduced patho-logical damage,inhibited aldosterone secretion,and downregulated the expression of MR,NGAL,VEGF-C,VEGFR3,phosphorylated PI3K,phosphorylated Akt,and Col III(P<0.01).CONCLUSION:Esaxerenone mitigates aldosterone-induced MR activation,modulates the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway,reduces lymphangiogenesis in the contralateral kidney of pregnant rats with obstructive nephropathy,decreases collagen deposition,and delays the progression of renal intersti-tial fibrosis.
