Objective:To evaluate the in vitro release behavior of doxorubicin(Dox)-loaded microspheres and the stability of Dox during encapsulation process and in vitro release.Methods: Dox-loaded microspheres were prepared by double emulsion(W/O/W) method with poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)(PLGA) as the carrier material.The physical and chemical characteristics of microspheres,including the mean diameter,morphology,drug entrapment efficiency and loading rate,were evaluated.The in vitro release behavior and its influencing factors were determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometry.Dox stability was evaluated by HPLC method during the encapsulation process and in vitro release.Results: The prepared microspheres had a complete spheric shape and dispersive quality.The mean diameter of the microspheres was 85 ?m;the drug entrapment efficiency was 95.1%;and the loading rate was 14.8%.Releasing rate of the microspheres slowed down with the increase of PLGA concentration and the decrease of W/O value.The encapsulation process had no obvious effect on the stability of Dox,while Dox degraded during in vitro release as the prolongation of time.On day 10,the peak area of degraded material accounted for 2.46%.Conclusion: Dox can be encapsulated in the microspheres by double emulsion method and different release rates of Dox can be achieved by adjusting PLGA concentration and W/O volume ratio.

To develop and validate a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the quantification of epirubicin hydrochloride (EPI) in rat plasma, daunorubicin hydrochloride was used as internal standard. The plasma samples were deproteinated with methanol, and separation was performed on a reversed-phase CAPCELL PAK C18 column (3.0 mm x 50 mm, 3 microm). The mobile phase contained methanol-0.1% formic acid (80:20). Detection was carried out by multiple reaction monitoring on a HP1200-6410 QQQ LC/MS system. Different preparations of EPI solution, EPI-LIP (EPI-liposome) and EPI-LTSL (EPI-thermosensitive liposome) was administered in rats by i.v with the same dosage (12 mg kg(-1)). The pharmacokinetic model and parameters were fitted and calculated by the DAS ver2.0 software. The calibration curve was linear in the range of 0.01-50 microg mL(-1). The limit of quantification was 0.01 microg mL(-1). RSDs of intra- and interbatch precisions were all less than 11.9%. The average extract recovery was 89.3% and 92.1%, respectively. The pharmacokinetics of EPI in rats with all preparations were fitted to three compartments, which all fast distributed and slowly eliminated. The t1/2 alpha, t1/2 beta, t1/2 gamma, AUC(0-infinity), and MRT(0-infinity) of EPI-LTSL group were 7.5, 1.3, 12.6, 12.9, 3.7 times those of EPI solution group; and 1.6, 1.4, 12.3, 2.9, 2.6 times those of EPI-LIP group. Moreover, the CL of the latter two groups was about 13.4 times of the former EPI-LTSL group. EPI-LTSL can significantly improve AUC and prolong the circulation time of EPI in rat plasma.

BACKGROUND:Because of osteoporosis, short-segment transpedicular fixation or screw-rod system fixation is prone to screw loosening depending on its poor anti-pul-out strength in patients with thoracolumbar fracture with ankylosing spondylitis.

Objective To explore the clinical value of magnetic resonance imaging( MRI) in the diagnosis and classification of perianal abscess and anal fistula.Methods Eighty patients with suspected perianal abscess and anal fistula were selected in Yuyao People＇s Hospital from May 2016 to December 2017.They were divided into general examination group and MRI group by random number table,with 40 cases in each group. The general examination group underwent ultrasound examination,and the MRI group underwent MRI examination.The detection rate of MRI examination for various types of perianal abscess and anal fistula was analyzed based on the results of operation. Results In the general examination group, the diagnostic accuracy of anal fistula supervisor, anal fistula internal orifice,perianal abscess and anal fistula branch were 65.0% (26/40),70.0% (28/40),57.5% (23/40) and 52.5% (21/40),respectively,which in the MRI group were 92.5% (37/40),77.5% (31/40),87.5% (35/40) and 95.0% (38/40),respectively.There were statistically significant differences in diagnostic accuracy of anal fistula supervisor, perianal abscess and anal fistula branch between the two groups ( χ2 =9.054,7.116,8.865, all P <0.05). The effective rate of operation in the MRI group was 67.5% (27/40),which was significantly higher than that in the general examination group [67.5% (27/40)],the difference was statistically significant(χ2 =9.935,P<0.01). Conclusion Using MRI to diagnose perianal abscess and anal fistula can accurately judge the number,involvement range,specific location and surrounding structure of the abscess and anal fistula,and has important value for clinical treatment and prognosis.

BACKGROUND: At present, the basic underlying molecular mechanism regulating the interactions among venous endothelial cells, platelets, leukocytes, and promoting local deep vein thrombosis microenvironment formation, still remains unclear, and there is no ideal method for early diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis. OBJECTIVE: To study the underlying role of nuclear factor kappa B1 and tissue factor in rats with deep vein thrombosis. METHODS: A total of 67 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control group (n=10) and model group (n=57). Deep vein thrombosis model was established by a clamping and sewing method in femoral vein combined with cast fixation. The incidence and serious degree of thrombus were observed by dissecting rat femoral vein in different time points (2.5 and 25 hours after modeling). The model group was further divided into pre-thrombogenesis group (2.5 hours after modeling), thrombogenesis group (25 hours after modeling) and non-thrombogenesis group (25 hours after modeling). Then total RNA was extracted from the localized femoral venous endothelial tissue. The candidate genes, associated inflammation and thrombosis, were screened by a special gene chip. Then the gene expression of nuclear factor kappa B1 and tissue factor was further identified by real-time polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Pre-thrombogenesis group had no thrombogenesis, while thrombogenesis group have 23 cases with thrombosis and non-thrombogenesis group have 22 cases without thrombosis. The results of gene chip hybridization analysis and real-time PCR found that the mRNA expression of nuclear factor kappa B1 and tissue factor in rat femoral vein endothelial tissue were significantly up-regulated at 2.5 hours after modeling (pre-thrombogenesis group was higher than control group) (P < 0.05), and continued up-regulating at 25 hours after modeling (thrombogenesis group was higher than the pre-thrombogenesis group, non-thrombogenesis group and control group) (P < 0.05). The results from present study indicate that up-regulating expressions of nuclear factor kappa B1 and tissue factor in local femoral venous endothelial tissue of rat deep vein thrombosis models may play a key role in initiating venous thrombosis.

BACKGROUND: The molecular mechanism and core regulatory network of deep vein thrombosis are not fully clarified yet.OBJECTIVE: To explore the roles of oxidative stress and Rac1/2 in rat deep vein thrombosis.METHODS: Deep vein thrombosis model in SD rats was established by a champing method femoral veins clamping combinedwith fixation of the lower extremity with plaster. The incidence and serious degree of thrombus were observed by dissecting ratfemoral vein at different time points (2.5 and 25 hours after modeling). The model rats were divided into pre-thrombogenesisgroup (2.5 hours after modeling), thrombogenesis group (25 hours after modeling) and non-thrombogenesis group (25 hours aftermodeling). Then total RNA and protein were extracted from the femoral venous wall tissues.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Colorimetry results showed that compared with the non-thrombogenesis group, theconcentration of malondiadehyde in rat femoral vein wall tissues of the thrombogenesis group was the highest (P < 0.05), followedby that of the pre-thrombogenesis group (P < 0.05). The concentrations of total superoxide dismutase and glutathione reductasein the thrombogenesis group were the lowest, followed by those in the pre-thrombogenesis group (P < 0.05). The results of genechip hybridization analysis and real-time PCR showed that compared with the non-thrombogenesis group, the expressions ofRac1 and Rac2 in rat femoral vein wall tissues of thrombogenesis group increased the most, followed by that of thepre-thrombogenesis group (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that the up-regulation of malondialdehyde and Rac1/2 as well asthe activity decrease of total superoxide dismutase and glutathione reductase may lead to the formation of deep venousthrombosis.

Objective To explore the characteristics of ventilatory efficiency and exercise capacity during cardiopulmonary exercise testing in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).Methods Pulmonary function test,arterial blood gas analysis and cardiopulmonary exercise testing were performed in 28 IPF patients (IPF group) from April 2012 to April 2013 and 28 healthy volunteers (control group).And the relevant parameters were measured and compared.Results No significant differences existed in age [(57.8 ±9.8) vs.(59.2 ±5.5) years],gender or body mass index (BMI) [(23.8 ±2.7) vs.(25.0 ± 2.8) kg/m2,P ＞ 0.05].The paramneters of pulmonary function test,such as forced vital capacity ％ predicted (74.8 ± 14.6 vs.101.8 ± 10.8),forced expiratory volume in 1 second ％ predicted (73.8 ± 14.6 vs.97.0 ± 10.1),maximum voluntary ventilation ％ predicted (77.5 ± 14.9 vs.95.4 ±24.5),total lung capacity ％ predicted (75.6 ± 12.4 vs.99.8 ± 5.4),residual volume ％ predicted (80.7 ± 15.4 vs.95.8 ± 11.3),diffusing capacity of lung for carbon monoxide ％ predicted (66.2 ± 13.7 vs.103.2 ± 17.3) in the IPF group,were significantly lower than those of the control group (P ＜ 0.01).The parameters of arterial blood gas analysis,such as PaO2 [(72.7 ± 7.3) vs.(92.6 ± 3.8) mmHg] and SaO2 (94.3 ± 2.1 vs.98.3 ± 0.7),were lower than those of the control group (P ＜ 0.01).Thus P(A-a) O2 in the IPF group was higher than that in the control group (33.3 ± 5.7 vs.17.8 ± 1.9,P ＜0.01).These results strongly suggested that IPF group had restrictive ventilatory dysfunction and impaired gas exchange.The IPF patients had higher VE/VCO2-slope (37.4 ± 5.3 vs.25.7 ± 2.5,P ＜ 0.01) and lowest VE/VCO2 (39.2 ±6.7 vs.30.6 ± 2.7,P ＜ 0.01) than the controls; VE/VCO2 and VD/VT during every period were significantly higher in the IPF group than those in the control group (P ＜ 0.01) ; during peak exercise,peakLoad％pred (70.4 ±±29.9 vs.104.8 ±29.7,P ＜0.01) and peakVO2％pred (68.7 ±29.8 vs.98.7 ±36.4,P =0.001) were significantly lower in the IPF group than those in the control group.In the IPF group,VE/VCO2@AT,VE/VCO2-slope and lowest VE/VCO2 had a negative correlation with DLCO％pred (r=-0.589,P ＜0.01; r=-0.481,P＜0.05; r=-0.527,P＜0.05).In the IPF group,VE/VCO2@AT,VE/VCO2-slope and lowest VE/VCO2 had a negative correlation with peakVO2％ pred (r =-0.548,P ＜ 0.05 ; r =-0.539,P ＜ 0.05 ; r =-0.564,P ＜ 0.05).So the exercise tolerance and ventilation efficiency of the IPF group decreased significantly.Conclusion Cardiopulmonary exercise testing reveals that the ventilation efficiency of IPF patients decreases significantly so as to seriously affect their exercise tolerance
