AimTo study the effects of aspirin (Asp) and verapamil(Ver)alone or in combination on mesenteric microcirculation of rats. MethodsAcute microcirculation disturbance(AMD) was produced by highmolecular weight dextran(Mr 480, 000) 360 mg· kg-1 iv. Arteriol and venul blood flow velocity and diameter (ABFV, VBFV, AD, VD) and blood flow state(BFS) were observed by intravital microcirculation method. Results Asp 2.5, 5 mg · kg-i, Ver 0.3, 0.6 mg · kg-1,Asp+ Ver(1 + 0.15), (2. 5+ 0. 3) mg· kg-1 iv significant increase ABFV by 11.1%, 31.3%, 18.7%,19.5%, 26.5%, 37.3%, VBFV by 12.5%, 5.7%, 2.5%, 3.7%, 30%, 34.7%,AD by 4.3%, 17.9%, 31.5%, 35%, 20%, 38.1% and VDby 2.2%,4.2%, 25%, 31.5%,5.8%,23.5%espectively, and got a raise in the number of capillaries and a marked improvement of BFS. Asp + Ver(1+0.15, 2.5+0.3) mg · kg-1 iv could reverse AMD. Conclusion Asp is superior to Ver in the increase of BFV, but Ver is superior to Asp in expansion of blood vessel. Asp in combination with Ver produces marked synergistic action and protection againist AMD.

OBJECTIVE: To establish a quantitative preliminary evaluation of introduced drugs. METHODS: A quantitative form was designed for new drugs’ preliminary evaluation, which included many factors, such as qualification of pharmaceutical factory or company, category of drugs in medical insurance, the result of the biding drugs, comparison with other drugs of the same category, PK and PD data,special use and clinical demand. Each factor was given a definite score .If the total scores of a given drug amounted to the expected figure, this drug could pass the preliminary evaluation and enter the next step, and if not, the drug may be eliminated. RESULTS&CONCLUSION: The purpose of evaluating the new drugs scientifically and objectively can be basically achieved through quantitative method, which can lessen the blindness in introduction of new drugs.

Objective To evaluate the significance of clinical grading methods in acute pulmonary embolism (APE). Methods Clinical data of 259 patients suspected APE were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical probability was classified into low, intermediate and high grade by the Geneva score, the Wells score and the SYSU score. The result was contrasted with gold standard. Results Through the three, methods, pa-tients were classified into low pmbability (43.9%-52.5%), intermediate probability (38.0%-42.1%) and high probability (9.5%-14.0%), and the actual frequencies of APE in each category were 6.2%-14.4% in low probability, 65.9%-76.2% in intermediate probability, 88.5%-90.5% in high probability. The SYSU score had the lowest rate of missed diagnosis in low probability (P<0.05 ).The Geneva score was the most accurate in predicting the intermediate probability (P<0.05). But in high probahility, three prediction rules had no significant difference (P>0.05). Combined with D--dimer test, the rote of missed diagnosis in low probability can be lowered. Conclusions The clinical grading methods can predict the clinical probability of APE. It exists similar accuracy, but has different scope of application. Clinical doctor should choose the ap-propriate grading methods in different patients.

Objective To establish ovarian cancer cell line SKVO3 that can stably express human ADP ribosylation factor-4 (ARF4). Methods A eukaryotic expression vector pCDH-CMV-MCS-EF1-Puro/ARF4 was constructed and transfected into SKOV3 cells after verifying by DNA sequencing. The expression of ARF4 mRNA was verified by real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR). Then, the recombinant plasmid with lentiviral packaging plasmids were co-transfected into SKOV3 cells for packaging. The recombinant lentiviral particles LV-ARF4 were collected and transfected into SKOV3 cells, and the stable transfected SKOV3 cell line was screening by culture with puromycin. The expression of ARF4 gene was detected by qRT-PCR and Western Blot. Results A eukaryotic expression vector pCDH-CMV-MCS-EF1-Puro/ARF4 was successfully constructed. The vector could significantly up-regulate the expression of ARF4 mRNA in SKOV3 cells and be successfully packaged into recombinant lentiviral particles in HEK-293T cells. Compared with the control group, the relative expression level of ARF4 mRNA and protein in SKOV3 cells was significantly increased after the infection with LV-ARF4 (all P<0.001). Conclusion The recombinant plasmid pCDH-CMV-MCS-EF1-Puro/ARF4 and lentiviral vector LV-ARF4 were successfully constructed. The establishment of stably infected SKOV3 cell line with LV-ARF4 provides an experimental foundation for further studies on the biological function of ARF4 in ovarian cancer.

Aptamers are DNA or RNA fragments that can specifically bind to target substances.Because of the excellent properties such as strong binding force,high specificity,small physical size,chemical synthesis and modification,good biocompatibility,and low immunogenicity aptamers show wide application propects in biomedical researches.Aptamers can also bind specifically to receptors on the surface of cell membranes,and mediate the endocytosis of nanoparticles into cells,making them ideal drug targeting ligands.Organic nanomaterials have excellent application value in nanodrug delivery system because of their good biocompatibility and degradability.In this paper,the recent research progress of aptamers and organic nanomaterials drug delivery systems was reviewed.
