1.Research advances in brain-targeted nanoscale drug delivery system.
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica 2013;48(10):1532-43
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) exerts its central nervous system (CNS) protective function as it hinders the delivery of diagnostic and therapeutic agents to the brain. With the development of nanotechnology during the last thirty years, the nanocarriers for delivering drugs make it possible to transport drugs across the BBB. The brain-targeted drug delivery system usually consists of two parts: nanocarriers and brain-targeted strategies. In this review, several kinds of nanocarriers are introduced for brain-targeted drug delivery. We focus on several possible strategies for brain-targeting and comment on their advantages and disadvantages in application.

Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases 2016;32(3):326-330
Hypertensive retinopathy (HR) often coexist with carotid lesions in hypertensive patients.Carotid lesions are closely associated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases,as well as end events,offering early important evidence to screening high risk patients.HR has significant value to predict target organ damage (TOD) of hypertension including carotid lesion.In addition,hypertensive retinopathy and carotid lesions-related ischemic ocular diseases will cause serious vision function damage.This article is going to summarize the value and correlation between hypertensive retinopathy and carotid lesions in terms of clinical manifestations,pathological physiological mechanism and target organ damage.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of hepatitis B virus infection and its epidemiological characteristics among planned pregnancy couples in Chongqing.Methods A total of 10 712 planned pregnancy couples were selected by proportionally stratified multi-stage random sampling method during April and December 2013.A questionnaire survey was performed, and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA) was used for hepatitis B virus surface antigen ( HBsAg ) and hepatitis B surface antibody ( anti-HBs) detection.SAS 8.2 was adopted for data process.Chi-square test and test for linear trend were performed to compare the rates of HBsAg and anti-HBs among different populations.Results Among 21 424 individuals, 1 718 (8.02%) were HBsAg positive.The positive rate of HBsAg in husbands was 9.48%, which was significantly higher than that in wives (6.55%,χ2 =63.39, P<0.01).Anti-HBs was positive in 8 967 (41.85%) individuals, and the positive rates in husbands and wives were 42.39% and 41.32%respectively (χ2 =2.54, P>0.05).The positive rates of HBsAg and anti-HBs increased with the age (χ2 =2.98 and 9.83,P<0.01).The highest HBsAg positive rate and lowest anti-HBs positive rate were observed among individuals of southeast of Chongqing.The positive rates of HBsAg and anti-HBs varied in people with different occupation.The highest HBsAg and anti-HBs positive rates were found in private business owners (9.18%) and public employees (49.69%) , respectively;and the lowest HBsAg and anti-HBs positive rates were found in public employees (6.79%) and farmers (39.08%), respectively.As the education level increased, HBsAg positive rate was decreasing (χ2 =-3.33, P<0.01), and anti-HBs positive rate was increasing (χ2 =9.73, P<0.01).Conclusions The prevalence of HBV infection is still high among planned pregnancy couples in Chongqing in the year of 2013.Vaccination and the related treatments should be enforced in population with high risk of HIV infection.

5R-5-hydroxytriptolide (LLDT-8) is a new drug candidate which is in clinical trial treating rheumatoid arthritis. Polymorph screening of the compound was carried out in this study. Polymorph of LLDT-8 was prepared by evaporative crystallization and antisolvent crystallization methods and was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (p-XRD), infrared spectrometry (IR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TG). It was found that p-XRD patterns, DSC curves, TG curves and IR spectra of the LLDT-8 samples prepared by the above recrystallization methods were all consistent. The 20 of main peaks in the p-XRD patterns appeared at 7.58 degrees, 8.14 degrees, 8.66 degrees, 15.46 degrees, 16.46 degrees, 29.54 degrees, 31.16 degrees and 38.26 degrees, while the infrared absorption peaks appeared at 3 471.3, 2 962.2, 2 887.0, 1 762.6, 1 677.8, 1 432.9, 1 365.4, 1 247.7, 1 080.0, 1 031.7 and 877.5 cm(-1). LLDT-8 was decomposed at 271.2 degrees C based on the determination from DSC and TG. It was showed in single crystal X-ray diffraction study that LLDT-8 crystal was monoclinic with the space group being P2 (1). The cell parameters were found to be: a = 11.460 1 (11), b = 6.320 5 (6), c = 13.028 1 (12), alpha = 90.00, beta = 115.557 (2) and gamma = 90.00. The crystal was a hydrogen-bonded dimmer. The slurry experiments, which were further conducted in solvents with different polarities, confirmed the stability of solid state of LLDT-8 based on the p-XRD determination. The polymorph of LLDT-8 made assurance of its efficacy consistence during its clinical trials.

Objective To assess the influence of transcranial electric stimulation (TES) on the recovery of motor function after cerebral focal ischemia and reperfusion and to explore the mechanisms in terms of neural plasticity.Methods An acute focal ischemia-reperfusion model was established by transient occlusion of the right middle cerebral artery (MCAO).Seventy-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a TES group,a model group,a sham-operation group and a normal group.The TES group was given TES 24 h after MCAO;the model group received the operation without any treatment.Forelimb placing (FPT) and beam walking (BWT) were mea-sured at the 3rd,7th,14th and 28th day after reperfusion.Microtubule-associated protein-2 (MAP-2) and growth-associated protein-43 (GAP-43) and grey levels of reaction products in the peri-infarct region were examined by immunohistochemical techniques.Results The TES group rats had markedly better FPT and BWT performance at the 7th,14th and 28th day after MCAO,compared with the model group.Expression of MAP-2 had increased significantly more at the 14th and 28th day in the peri-infarct region in the TES group compared with the model group.Expression of GAP-43 was significantly elevated in the peri-infarct region in the TES group compared with the model group at all time points.Conclusions TES can improve motor function and neural plasticity following cerebral ischemia and reperfusion damage.The functional enhancement may be partly due to up-regulation of the expression of GAP-43 and MAP-2 in the peri-infarct region.
