Objective To investigate the effects of leflunomide(A77 1726) on the proliferation and apoptosis of human keratinocytes. Methods Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) of HaCaT cells was analyzed with crystal violet staining and immunohistochemistry. The moiphological change was assessed with hematoxylin and eosin staining. The changes of cell cycle and apoptosis rate were measured by flow cytome-try. Result Epidermal proliferation was inhibited by leflunomide, at concentration 5 ?mol/L or more, which was begun after 24 hrs and manifested by PCNA positive cell decreasing. With the increasing of time or dosage, the anti- proliferation effect of leflunomide was significant. Meanwhile, the PCNA positive cell de-creased respectively. There was no PCNA positive cell while the drug concentration achieved 200 ?mol/L. Therefore, leflunomide significantly inhibited the proliferation of HaCaT cells in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner. The morphological change and cell cycle change was found but no change of apoptosis rate was measured. Conclusion Leflunmide can inhibit the proliferation of HaCaT cell, without the effect on its apoptosis.

BACKGROUND: Recently biodegradable hydrogel has been extensively used to delivery anticancer drug and bioactive macromolecule. However, to protect the activity of the bioactive macromolecule, we need to obtain series of hydrogel which have milder hydrogelation conditions and shorter hydroglation time.OBJECTIVE: To prepare enantiomeric poly(L-Lactic acid) (PLLA)-poly(ethylene glycol (PEG)-PLLA/ poly(D-Lactic acid) (PDLA)-PEG-PDLA stereocomplex hydrogel which has shorter hydroglation time, to physically encapsulate a model drug-lysozyme and sustained release it from the hydrogel. METHODS: Triblock copolymers of PLLA-PEG-PLLA and PDLA-PEG-PDLA were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of L(D)-lactide using PEG as the initiator and Sn(Oct)2 as the catalyst. The triblock copolymers were characterized by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance, FT-IR and X-Ray diffractometry. A hydrogel was prepared from an aqueous mixture of PLLA20-PEG227-PLLA20 and PDLA21-PEG227-PDLA21 (10 wt% concentration) at room temperature for 12 hours. X-Ray diffractometry test was used to research the gelation mechanism. The release profile of the lysozyme as a model drug from the hydrogel was tested. The morphology of the freeze-dried hydrogel was investigated by scanning electron microscope. The cytotoxicity of the hydrogel was evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Triblock copolymers of PLLA-PEG-PLLA and PDLA-PEG-PDLA were obtained. Both the PEG and PLA blocks in the copolymers could crystallize, but the crystallization of the PEG block was predominant. The stereocomplex formation between the PLLA and PDLA blocks within the hydrogel was confirmed by the X-Ray diffractometry analysis. The release profile of the lysozyme from the hydrogel exhibited a sustained-release pattern with a duration period of 7 days. The hydrogel exhibited a 3D interconnected porous structure with 50-100 μm pore size after being freeze-dried. The mouse fibroblast cell viability percentage was 99.3% after the cells contacted with the 100% extracted liquid for 72 hours.

Background It is thought in recently that photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective treatment method for chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC), but the dosage of verteporfin and its long-term efficacy and complications is rarely elucidated ever before.Objective This study was to observe the long-term efficacy and safety of 60％ dose verteporfin PDT for chronic CSC.Methods This is a retrospective study and a self-controlled design was used.The clinical data of 25 eyes of 21 chronic CSC patients who received 60％-dose verteporfin PDT in Henan Eye Institute from January 2009 to May 2010 were reviewed, with the male 18 (85.71％) and female 3 (14.29％) as well as monocular CSC 17 patients and binocular CSC 4 patients.The average ages of the patients were (43±5) years.Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) , indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), optical coherence tomography(OCT) and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were examined in all the patients before and after treatment.PDT with the 60％-dose verteporfin (3.6 mg/m2) was carried out on the CSC eyes.The treated eyes were examined 2 weeks, 1 month and 3 months after PDT.The BCVA,subfoveal choroid thickness,FFA and ICGA findings before and after PDT were compared.The following-up duration was 5 years or more.Results The BCVA before and 3 months after PDT were 0.5 ±0.1 and 0.9±0.2, respectively, with a statistically significant difference between them (t =19.17,P =0.00).The subfoveal choroidal thickness value 3 months after PDT was (326.56±39.47) μm,which was significantly reduced in comparison with (486.24 ±47.53) μm before PDT (t =25.17, P =0.00).FFA and ICGA showed that the leakage of fluorescein (hyperfluorescence) was disappeared in all the treated eyes.No systemic or local adverse effects and recurrence were observed during the follow-up period.Conclusions On the basis of the results of this study and available information,60％-dose verteporfin PDT seems to have a better long-term efficacy and safety than full-dose verteporfin in treating chronic CSC.

To detect furaltadone metabolite 3-amino-5-morpholinomethyl-2-oxazolidinone ( AMOZ ) in fish sample, an Eu3+ labeling time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay ( TRFIA ) was developed. The effects of experimental conditions including AMOZA-OVA concentration, dilution of antibody, and reaction time on the sensitivity of TRFIA were explored. The results showed that the optimized assay conditions were as follows:the AMOZA-OVA concentration was 0. 25 μg/mL; the antibody was diluted 5í104 folds, and the competitive reaction time was 50 min. Under optimal conditions, the method showed a detection limit of 0. 01 ng/mL, an IC50 of 0. 26 ng/mL and a linear range (IC20-IC80) of 0. 025-2. 83 ng/mL. The recoveries of AMOZ in fish at three spiked levels ranged from 78 . 0% to 86 . 0%, and the relative standard deviations were less than 15%. Good correlation between the ic-TRFIA and high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was obtained for spiked food samples. The proposed ic-TRFIA method was suited for the determination of AMOZ residue in food samples.

Due to the low molecular weight and simple structure, the production of specific antibodies against acrylamide is unavailable. In this study, a novel hapten was synthesized through the derivatization of acrylamide and 4-mercaptophenylacetic acid. The hapten was then coupled to carrier protein and used to immunize New Zealand rabbits. Polyclonal antibody which showed specific binding to the acrylamide derivative ( hapten) was obtained. The antibody was labeled with horseradish peroxidase ( HRP) and used to develop a direct competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( dc-ELISA) . The dc-ELISA was used to determine the content of acrylamide derivative, and then transferred to the content of acrylamide. The assay showed an IC50 value of 45. 49 μg/L, a limit of detection of 3. 0 μg/L and the linear range of 9. 2-195 μg/L for acrylamide. The recovery of acrylamide from spiked food sample was determined ranging from 83 . 6% to 112 . 7%. Good correlations between the results of dc-ELISA and standard HPLC-MS/MS were obtained. The proposed dc-ELISA is suitable for the determination of acrylamide in food samples.

Nowadays,the prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)is constantly rising in China and globally,and its incidence rate is increasing year by year,which has seriously affected human life and health.Lipophagy is molecular chaperone-mediated autophagy and has the functions of promoting lipolysis,maintaining the lipid homeostasis of hepatocytes,and alleviating hepatocyte fatty degeneration.Lipophagy has three main processes of lipid droplet catabolism,lipid droplet autophagy,and fatty acid β-oxidation,which are regulated by key genes,receptors,and enzymes.Currently,important advances have been achieved for the intervention methods of traditional Chinese medicine,Western medicine,diet,and exercise in the research on lipophagy,which provides new perspectives for the prevention and treatment strategies for NAFLD.

Objective:To explore the effect of expected pain of blood donation puncture on actual puncture pain.Methods:A total of 350 blood donors from a blood collection site in Beijing from July 2019 to August 2019 were selected by the convenient sampling method. Blood donors evaluated the pain degree of blood donation puncture before blood test by using VAS, and VAS was used to evaluate the actual pain degree again after successful puncture. The expected pain score was compared with the perceived puncture pain score after blood donation and the influencing factors of the donors' puncture pain were analyzed.Results:The expected pain score of the 350 blood donors was (3.16±2.06) , and the perceived puncture pain score after blood donation was (2.99±1.89) . There were statistically significant differences in the expected pain assessment scores of blood donors of different genders and whether they donated blood intentionally ( P<0.05) . The interactions between gender, blood donation preparation, blood donation history, age and expected pain were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Before blood donation, quality service can reduce puncture pain of female blood donors. Blood donation publicity don't need to avoid the pain of blood donation, we should improve the acceptance of puncture pain among blood donors and encourage the public to be fully prepared to participate in blood donation.

Objective:To compare the detection rate and time cost of different imaging methods for retinal and optic disc neovascularization in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted.Thirty-eight patients (48 eyes) with PDR were enrolled in Henan Eye Hospital from October 2019 to February 2021, including 22 males (28 eyes) and 16 females (20 eyes). The average age of the patients was (51.08±13.35) years.All patients underwent ultra-widefield imaging (UWFI), fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), en face optical coherence tomography (OCT), near-infrared fundus imaging (IR) combined with spectral domain OCT (SD-OCT). Wide field swept-source OCTA (WF-SS-OCTA) was performed in the patients who were unsuitable for FFA.The time required for each examination in one eye and the detection rate of neovascularization at the optic disc (NVD) and retinal neovascularization elsewhere (NVE) were recorded.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by Henan Eye Hospital (No.HNEECKY-2021[22]). All patients were informed about the method and purpose of the study and voluntarily signed the informed consent form.Results:The mean monocular examination time costs of UWFI, IR+ SD-OCT, OCTA+ en face OCT, FFA and WF-SS-OCT was (0.51±0.13), (2.08±0.57), (5.79±0.68), (17.66±1.83) and (13.38±1.23)min, respectively.There was a significant overall difference in the mean monocular examination time among the five methods ( F=2 077.960, P<0.001). The detection rates of UWFI, IR+ SD-OCT, OCTA+ en face OCT, FFA+ WF-SS-OCT for NVE and NVD were 52.1%(25/48) and 12.5%(6/48), 81.3%(39/48) and 20.8%(10/48), 83.3%(40/48) and 27.1%(13/48), 93.8%(45/48) and 29.2%(14/48), respectively.There were significant differences in the detection rates of NVE ( χ2=26.460, P<0.001) but not in the detection rates of NVD ( χ2=4.645, P=0.200) among the various methods.Five neovascular buds were detected by OCTA in 3 eyes, but not by FFA. Conclusions:UWFI and IR+ SD-OCT are faster and non-invasive methods for the screening of NVD and NVE in PDR eyes.Compared with FFA, OCTA and en face OCT can show the shape of neovascularization more clearly.FFA provides a wide-range retinal image, but it is time-consuming and invasive.WF-SS-OCTA extends the examination range of OCTA and detects neovascularization non-invasively and faster than FFA.
