In order to solve the problem of selection and in vivo delivery problem in siRNA treatment, hepatitis B virus (HBV) HBx gene which could be targeted by siRNA was studied. The siRNA expression plasmid which specific inhibits HBx expression was obtained by in vitro selection via a dual-luciferase plasmid including HBx-Fluc fusion protein expression domain. The selected siRNA expression plasmid was then encapsulated in PEG-modified cationic liposome, which was devoted into pharmacodynamic studies at both cellular and animal level. The results illustrated that the cationic liposome which encapsulated siRNA expression plasmid could effectively inhibit HBx gene expression both in vitro and in vivo.

To investigate whether accelerated blood clearance (ABC) phenomenon could be induced after repeated injection of mitoxantrone thermosensitive liposomes, LC-MS/MS and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were used to measure the concentration of mitoxantrone and the anti-polyethylene glycol (PEG) IgM levels in rat plasma, separately. The drug was rapidly cleared away after the second administration. The anti-PEG IgM was detected after the first dose which was neutralized quickly after the second dose. It is proved that repeated administration of mitoxantrone thermosensitive liposomes in rat caused the ABC phenomenon.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for improving the service quality of PIVAS in our hospital. METHODS:Satis-faction questionnaire was designed by us. The survey was conducted among clinical nurses from 40 wards of our hospital about their satisfactory degree to pharmaceutical care of PIVAS and related influential factors. The survey data were analyzed statistically. RESULTS:A total of 280 questionnaires were sent out,and 271 effective questionnaires were collected with effective recovery of 96.79%. The overall satisfaction degree of nurses to PIVAS services was higher [(4.31±0.89)points]. The top 3 items were"drug admixture correction rate""infusion order rationality"and"drug packing quantitative accuracy rate rate",scored (4.57 ± 0.70), (4.56 ± 0.73) and (4.50 ± 0.76),respectively;the last 3 items of satisfaction were"timeliness of telephone answering service""timeliness of temporary medical orders'distribution"and"serviceable time for temporary medical orders'admixture",scored (3.73 ± 1.16),(3.75 ± 1.03) and (3.96 ± 1.01),respectively. The univariate analysis and multivariate analysis showed that there were statistical differences in the satisfaction score among nurses with different ages from different departments(P<0.01). The nurs-es in cardiovascular medicine department and ICU showed lowest satisfaction on service effect,and the nurses aged 20-29 years old showed highest satisfaction on service effect. There was no statistical significance in satisfactory degree among nurses with different gender,nursing ages,education background and professional titles(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The overall satisfaction of clinical nurses to PIVAS service is favorable. The items of temporary medical orders-related service score the lowest,and service effect is related to nurses'departments and age. It is necessary to combine the shortage of work and the demand of clinical services to strengthen the management and promote the continuous improvement of PIVAS service quality.

Objective To explore the mechanism of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (HUC-MSC) alleviating ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) of liver cells through mitochondrial transfer. Methods Normal human liver cell line L02 was divided into the blank control group, oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) group, experimental control group, and L02 and HUC-MSC co-culture group (L02+HUC-MSC group). L02+HUC-MSC group was further divided into 10:1 co-culture subgroup (group A), 4:1 co-culture subgroup (group B), 2:1 co-culture subgroup (group C), 1:1co-culture subgroup (group D) and 1:2 co-culture subgroup (group E) according to different co-culture ratio of L02 and HUC-MSC. The apoptosis rate and relative reactive oxygen species (ROS) level of L02 cells were detected by flow cytometry. The MitoTracker positive rate of L02 cells was detected by flow cytometry. The mitochondrial transfer from HUC-MSC to L02 cells was observed by laser confocal microscope. Results The apoptosis rate and relative ROS level of L02 cells in the OGD group were significantly higher than those in the blank control group (both

The diagnostic reference level (DRL) for adults radiation dose in CT examination based on a large-scale national survey data is released in the form of national health industry standards (WS/T 637-2018) after more than ten years of exploration by radiologists, imaging technologists, radiation protection specialists and radiographers. Its principles and method are in line with international practices and the actual situation in China, which basically cover frequently-used CT examination items for adults. Compared with DRL in several other countries or organizations, radiation exposure to the patients as a whole is at a reasonably low level. The 50th percentile (achievable dosimetry levels) and 25th percentile (indicative level of unusually low dosimetry) are given as additional tools for radiation dose optimization guidance. In daily activities of radiological diagnosis, the radiation dose should be matched with image quality and clinical diagnostic tasks, and the frequency of unjustifiable high or low radiation dose should be reduced.

Objective:To deliver understanding of the latest research progress on clinical trials and approval of dermatological drugs in China in 2020.Methods:A registration and information disclosure platform for drug clinical studies and a query system for domestic and imported drugs in the National Medical Products Administration of China were searched for registered clinical trials and approved dermatological drugs, respectively. The number and stages of clinical trials, indications and classification of involved products, and listed dermatological drugs in 2020 were summarized and depicted.Results:There were 157 dermatological drug trials registered in China in 2020, accounting for 6.16% of all the 2 548 clinical drug trials, including 127 (80.9%) initiated by Chinese pharmaceutical enterprises and 25 (15.9%) international multicenter trials. Among the 127 drug trials initiated by Chinese pharmaceutical enterprises, bioequivalence trials were mostly common, accounting for 55.9% (71/127) . Compared with global pharmaceutical enterprises, domestic pharmaceutical companies initiated significantly decreased proportions of international multicenter trials (1.9% [3/157] vs. 14.0% [22/157], P < 0.001) , but significantly increased proportions of phaseⅠclinical trials and bioequivalence trials (24.4% [31/127] vs. 10.0% [3/30], 55.9% [71/127] vs. 0, respectively, both P < 0.001) . Totally, 90 kinds of dermatological drug were involved in all the trials, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis and melanoma were the most common indications, and innovative drugs accounted for 53.3% (48/90) ; the proportion of innovative drugs was significantly lower in domestic pharmaceutical companies than in global pharmaceutical companies (43.2% [32/74] vs. 16/16, P < 0.001) . In addition, 28 dermatological drugs developed by 22 pharmaceutical companies were approved in China in 2020, of which 21 drugs were developed by domestic pharmaceutical companies. Conclusion:Clinical drug trials carried out by domestic pharmaceutical companies mostly focus on generic drugs, and it is still necessary for domestic pharmaceutical companies to further improve the innovation ability.

Objective To screen key autophagy-related genes in alcoholic hepatitis (AH) and investigate potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for AH. Methods Two AH gene chips in Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and autophagy-related data sets obtained from MSigDB and GeneCards databases were used, and the key genes were verified and obtained by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). The screened key genes were subject to gene ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), protein-protein interaction (PPI) and immune infiltration analyses. Messenger RNA (mRNA)- microRNA (miRNA) network was constructed to analyze the expression differences of key autophagy-related genes during different stages of AH, which were further validated by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) in the liver tissues of AH patients and mice. Results Eleven autophagy-related genes were screened in AH (EEF1A2, CFTR, SOX4, TREM2, CTHRC1, HSPB8, TUBB3, PRKAA2, RNASE1, MTCL1 and HGF), all of which were up-regulated. In the liver tissues of AH patients and mice, the relative expression levels of SOX4, TREM2, HSPB8 and PRKAA2 in the AH group were higher than those in the control group. Conclusions SOX4, TREM2, HSPB8 and PRKAA2 may be potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for AH.
