BacKground:Helicobacter pylori ( Hp ) infection is an important etioIogicaI factor of gastric uIcer. AIthough eradicating Hp can heIp gastric uIcer heaIing,there is stiII a high recurrence rate of gastric uIcer. Therefore,other factors pIaying a roIe in the pathogenesis of gastric uIcer shouId be in concern. Aims:To investigate the non-reinfectious recurrence factors of gastric uIcer after Hp eradication. Methods:A totaI of 164 newIy diagnosed gastric uIcer patients with Hp infection from January 2011 to June 2012 at Ren Ji HospitaI,SchooI of Medicine,Shanghai Jiao Tong University were enroIIed. AII patients were given Hp eradication therapy and treatment of gastric uIcer. Patients with successfuI Hp eradication and heaIing of gastric uIcer were foIIowed up at 3,6,12 months after uIcer heaIing. Suspected risk factors of gastric uIcer recurrence were coIIected,and their reIationships with recurrence were anaIyzed. Results:A totaI of 123 patients positive for Hp infection compIeted the 12 months foIIow-up,gastric uIcer recurred in 18(14. 6%)of them. Chi-square test reveaIed that age,gender,smoking/drinking,non-steroidaI anti-infIammatory drugs( NSAIDs ),negative emotions and unheaIthy eating habits were significantIy associated with the recurrence of gastric uIcer(P<0. 05). Of the unheaIthy eating habits, irreguIar eating, and preference of indigestibIe food and fast food/carbonated drinks were significantIy associated with recurrence of gastric uIcer( P <0. 05 ). Conclusions:Patients with gastric uIcer shouId change their unheaIthy Iiving habits,foIIow rationaI use of drugs,and keep heaIthy mentaI status and eating habits for avoiding the recurrence of gastric uIcer.

In recent years, with the rapid development of antitumor targeted drug therapy, the preparation of antitumor liposomes and its targeting research have attracted attention of scholars. Anti-tumor targeted drug treatment requires the drug to reach the tumor site has a relatively high concentration and longer retention time, the tumor cells have a strong cytotoxic activity, while normal cells no significant side effects.The drug has an in vivo distribution and specificity for the target fine action.The preparation methods of liposomes include film dispersion method,reverse evaporation method,ethanol injection method,supercritical reverse phase evaporation method and freeze-drying method. Antitumor targeting liposomes can be divided into active targeting liposomes and passive targeting liposomes. Targeted liposomes can specifically target tumor cells by recognizing specific targets in the tumor tissue,thus enriching tumor cells and killing tumor cells. In this paper,the preparation of anti-tumor liposomes and the progress of its targeting,for future study and application of liposomes provide a reference.

Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a phospholipid that is abundant in eukaryotic plasma membranes,has crucial biological functions.Under cell apoptosis, cells can not generate enough ATP for energy and the concentration of cytoplasmic Ca 2 +increases, resulting in PS eversion.Apoptosis and the clearance of apoptotic cells are essential processes in animal development and homeostasis.For apoptotic cells to be cleared, they must display aneat me signal, most likely PS exposure, which prompts phagocytes to engulf the cells.PS is exposed by the action of scramblase on the cell's surface in biological processes such as apoptosis and platelet activation.Once exposed to the cell surface, PS acts as an eat me signal on dead cells, and creates a scaffold for blood-clotting factors on activated platelets.The molecular identities of the flippase and scramblase that work at plasma membranes have long eluded researchers.Indeed, their identity as well as the mechanism of the PS exposure to the cell surface has only recently been revealed.We describe how PS is exposed in activated platelets and in apoptotic cells, and discuss the clearance of apoptotic cells.
