Cancer is still one of the major diseases threatening human life and health. At present, how to achieve precise diagnosis and treatment of tumors is the biggest challenge in cancer treatment. Prodrugs use the tumor specificity of targeting molecules to deliver anticancer drugs to tumor sites, which can effectively improve drug bioavailability, therapeutic efficacy and safety, and are currently a hot spot in the research and development of anticancer drugs. The targeting molecules of prodrugs mainly include nucleic acid aptamers, polymers, antibodies, polypeptides, etc. Among them, polypeptides have the advantages of good biocompatibility, controllable degradation performance, high in vivo responsiveness, and simple and easy preparation methods, and are widely used. It is used to construct peptide-drug conjugates (PDC) prodrugs to achieve targeted therapy of tumors. In recent years, with the development of phage peptide library technology and peptide standard solid-phase synthesis technology, more and more targeted peptides have been discovered and effectively synthesized and modified, providing strong support for the development of PDC. This review briefly introduces the types and functions of functional peptides and linkers in PDC, and discusses the application of PDC in chemotherapy, immunotherapy and photodynamic therapy in tumor targeted diagnosis and treatment, and finally summarizes the difficulties faced by PDC drug development.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of ketogenic diet (KD) therapy in the epilepsy of infancy with migrating focal seizures (EIMFS) associated with TBC1D24 gene mutation.Methods:Clinical data of two children with TBC1D24 gene-related EIMFS were collected retrospectively, who were admitted to Department of Pediatrics, Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from 2019 to 2020. Their clinical characteristics and the efficacy and safety of KD therapy were analyzed, and literature review was conducted.Results:Seizures were onset before six months old in the two children with TBC1D24 gene-related EIMFS. Multifocal myoclonic seizures were manifested and happened frequently, lasting for more than 30 minutes sometimes. Developmental retardation was obvious in the two children. A small amount of focal sharp, spike, sharp-slow complex, and spike-slow complex waves were showed in the interictal electroencephalography (EEG). TBC1D24 gene mutations were found in the two children, one with a compound heterozygous mutation (c.1025C>T, p.S342L; c.229_c.240delATCGTGGGCAAG,p.I77_K80del), and the other with a homozygous mutation [c.119G>A,p.R40H(Arg40His)]. Both of those were potentially pathogenic. A variety of anti-epileptic drugs showed poor outcome for the two children. The epilepsy was drug-refractory one. After four to 17 months of KD therapy, the epilepsy in the two children was controlled effectively. There was not obvious adverse reactions. Among six children with TBC1D24 gene-related EIMFS in the literature review, four cases were effective or partially effective for KD therapy, one was discontinued due to insufficient ketogenic ratio, and one was discontinued without effect. There were no obvious adverse reactions in the six children.Conclusions:TBC1D24 gene-related EIMFS is mostly drug-refractory epilepsy. Early KD therapy may help to control seizures.

Objective To investigate whether liraglutide treatment can prevent catch-up fat in high-fat dietinduced catch-up growth rats,and to discuss the possible underlying mechanisms.Methods Sixty-four SpragueDawley rats were stratified into 4 groups:normal control group,catch-up growth (CUG) group,catch-up growth with liraglutide treatment (CUGL) group,and catch-up growth with liraglutide plus exendin (9-39) treatment (CUGLE) group.All the catch-up growth animals underwent a4 week high-fat diet re-feeding phase after a4 week food restriction phase.Body weight and food intake were measured every day.At the end of food restriction and re-feeding,body composition was measured via Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry.After the rats were sacrificed,body fat distribution and plasma lipid levels were determined.Results By the end of catch-up growth,body weight,energy intake,Lee' s index,fat body mass,visceral adipose tissue/body weight,subcutaneous adipose tissue/body weight,triglyceride,free fatty acid,low density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels were lower in CUGL rats compared with CUG rats (all P＜0.01).There were no significant differences in energy intake,body composition,fat body mass,and blood lipid levels between CUGLE rats and CUG rats,while the weight of CUGLE rats was significantly lower than CUG ones.Conclusions Liraglutide infusion protects rats with high-fat diet induced catch-up growth from catch-up fat mainly via a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor dependent manner.

Objective In vitro detection of anti-proliferative effects of P161 combined with cisplatin ( DDP) on multiple cancer cells. Methods Growth inhibition rates of HepG2, HT29, IE8, Panc-1 and MA-782 treated by different concentrations of DDP,P161 and P161 combined with DDP were determined by MTT assay. Results DDP and P161 dose-dependently inhibited proliferation of multiple tumor cells. A synergistic effect was found in DDP combined with P161 and there was a significant difference in the effect between DDP combined with P161 and DDP alone (P<0. 05). DDP dose could be decreased to reach the same inhibitory effect. In the same concentration gradient of DDP combined with P161,the inhibition rate of Panc-1 was low and that of MA-782 was high. Conclusion P161 can increase the sensitivity of tumor cells to DDP. The combination of P161 and DDP can reduce the effective therapeutic concentration of DDP.

Background Scarring of the filtering bleb is a main cause of filtering surgical failure in glaucoma.It has been reposed that tetrandrine could suppress the proliferation of cultured human fibroblast of Tenons capsule in vitro and thus has the potential effect to prevent scarring after the filtering surgery. Objective Present study was to investigate the anti-cicatricial effect of tetrandrine drug delivery system(Tet DDS)during filtration surgery. Methods Filtration surgery was performed in bilateral eyes of 18 New Zealand white rabbits.The Tet DDS with 0.3 mg Tet,0.2 mg Tet or free-Tet were implanted subcunjunctially during the surgery.The filtering blebs were scored in 1 day,4,7,10,14 days after referring to the corneal thickness and bleb range under the slit-lamp biomicroscopy.The morphology of filtering bleb was assessed by in vivo confocal microscopy in 7 and 14 days after operation.The filtering bleb specimen was prepared in 7 and 14 days for the histopathological examination. Results The filtering bleb scores in Tet DDS implantation groups were significantly higher than those in free-Tet DDS group from 4 days through 14 days after trabeculectomy(P＜0.01),and the scores showed a considerably increase in 0.3 mg Tet DDS group compared with 0.2 mg Tet DDS group from 7 days through 14 days after trabeculectomy(P＜0.05).The filtering blebs of Tet DDS implantation groups were found with distinct subepithelial cystic spaces under the light microscopy and in vivo confocal microscopy on the 7th day and 14th day after surgery.Compared with free-Tet DDS group,the numbers of subepithelial mierocysts were much more(P＜0.01)and the area of microcysts was larger(P＜0.01)in Tet DDS group.The filtering tissue presented with more subepithelial microcysts and larger microcysts range in 0.3 mg Tet DDS group than 0.2 mg Tet DDS group in 7 and 14 days after operation(P＜0.05).The inflammatory cell infiltration wag milder in 0.3 mg Tet DDS group in comparison with 0.2 mg Tet DDS group and free-Ted DDS group.Conclusion Tet DDS has strong inhibitory effects on inflammatory cells activity and fibroblagt activity the early stage after filtering surgery and therefore improve the surgery success rate.
