OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of liposome formulation in promoting hepatocytes' uptake of tenofovir and cytotoxic effect. METHODS: The tenofovir cationic liposomes were prepared by tert-butyl lyophilization, and its encapsulation efficiency and physico-chemical property were determined. Using human hepatic carcinoma cells SMMC-7721 as a model to investigate the effect of liposome formulation in promoting hepatocytes' uptake of tenofovir. MTT assays were used to examine the toxicity of tenofovir cationic liposomes in different conditions. RESULTS: The prepared tenofovir cationic liposomes had an encapsulation efficiency of (88.3?1.6)%, a size distribution of (278.4?67.6)nm and a Zeta potential of (31?5)mV. The results showed that the liposome formulations containing galactose and PEG modifying lipids resulted in significantly higher and prolonged drug accumulation inside cells as compared with free drugs. The cell survival rates were above 80% when the tenofovir liposome was at a concentration of 7.5?g?mL-1 and lipids at a concentration of 30?g?mL-1, and little toxicity was noted. CONCLUSION: The prepared cationic liposome can greatly enhance hepatocytes' uptake and protection of tenofovir, which is expected to become a highly effective drug delivery system of antiviral drugs such as tenofovir etc.

Cationic polymers are being developed quickly as gene delivery vectors. For in vivo gene delivery, the cationic polymers are usually further modified by hydrophilic polymer grafting or ligand conjugation, which have been shown to increase the vector stability, gene delivery efficiency and specificity greatly. Some previous research had shown that modified hydrophilic polymer may partly shield the targeting ligand and result in poor delivery specificity. Developing a method to evaluate the influence of PEG modification on targeting delivery is particularly critical to cationic polymer design and gene therapy development. One of most commonly used cationic polymer polylysine (PLL) was chosen as a model. Targeting ligand epidermal growth factor(EGF)was conjugated with PLL to form PLL-EGF. Then hydrophilic polymer polyethylene glycol (PEG) with molecular mass 7 000 and 20 000 were used to modify PLL-EGF respectively to generate PEG7000-g-PLL-EGF and PEG20000-g-PLL-EGF. In BIAcore experiments, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) was conjugated onto BIAcore chip and various PEG modified PLL-EGF solutions were flowed over the chip. By observing the change of RU value, the specific interaction of EGF to EGFR was compared. Compared with PLL-EGF, PEG modified PLL-EGF showed lower association rate and higher disassociation rate to EGFR. Furthermore, compared to PEG7000 modified PLL-EGF, PEG20000 modified PLL-EGF got lower association rate and higher disassociation rate to EGFR. The Scatchard analysis results showed that the interactions between EGFR and PLL-EGF or PEG-PLL-EGF are non-linear. It can be concluded that PEG modification indeed reduced the association rate and enhanced the dissociation rate of EGF to EGFR. The length of PEG chain was also a key factor to influence interaction between ligand and receptor. The results showed that it was critical important to evaluate the influence of PEG modification on delivery specificities. The BIAcore method developed in this paper can successfully evaluate the influence, which would be important for cationic polymer design and its application as potential non-viral gene delivery vectors.

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence and the characteristics of heart failure (HF) in medical intensive care unit (ICU) so as to explore the factors contributing to HF.Methods A retrospective analysis of the data of HF was carried out in 887 HF patients (54. 2％ ) males; age (69.83± 13.57) years oldadmitted to the medical ICU from October 2006 through June 2010. Clinical variables were systematically reviewed for all enrolled patients. HF as either major or additional diagnosis was recorded and the potential risk factors for HF were explored. Left ventricular systolic function was evaluated in HF patients by using ejection fraction (EF) measured by echocardiography. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent factors contributing to HF in medical ICU patients. Results Of the 887 patients, 74. 1％ aged 65 years or over, and 53％ had organ dysfunction. The prevalence of HF in medical ICU patients was 22. 8％. Echocardiography measurement revealed that left ventricular systolic function was preserved in 62. 5％ of HF patients with an EF ＞ 50％. Underlying heart diseases were identified in 72. 8％ of the HF patients, and coronary artery disease accounted for the vast majority (52. 5％ ), followed by valvular heart disease ( 17. 8％ ). Structural heart diseases were not identified in 27. 2％ of the HF patients. 4) After the adjustment of age and gender, multivariate regression analysis showed that coronary artery disease ( OR =7. 364, 95％ CI: 4. 979 ～ 10. 890, P ＜0. 01 ), valvular heart disease ( OR =18. 023, 95％ CI: 9. 280 ～ 35. 002, P ＜ 0. 01 ), diabetes mellitus ( OR =2. 154, 95％ CI: 1. 227 ～ 3. 784, P =0. 0076), respiratory failure ( ( OR =1. 527, 95％ CI: 1. 045 ～ 2. 229, P =0. 0285 ), and renal dysfunction ( OR =2. 638, 95％ CI: 1. 621 ～ 4. 294, P =0. 0001 ) were associated with risk increased for HF in medical ICU. ConclusionsHF is highly prevalent in medical ICU and its etiology is multi-factorial. The high rate of HF with preserved EF highlights the importance of enhanced alertness for HF with preserved systolic function in ICU.
