Chinese Pharmaceutical Journal 2013;48(24):2069-2075
OBJECTIVE: To introduce the application of reduction-sensitive polymeric micelles in the field of tumor targeting drug delivery. METHODS: In the past decades, tumor targeted drug delivery systems have become important research area because they promise to resolve several key therapeutical issues including low treatment efficacy and significant side effects. On the basis of published literatures, the recent developments in reduction-sensitive polymeric micelles used for tumor targeting drug delivery were reviewed, with an emphasis on their structure characteristics as well as their biomedical applications from the cellular level and animal level, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: As a novel intelligent drug delivery system, reduction-sensitive polymeric micelles can effectively control drug release with low side effects and high therapeutic effects both in vitro and in vivo. It has great potential in tumor targeting drug delivery.

Chinese Journal of Experimental and Clinical Virology 2013;27(5):363-365
OBJECTIVETo study the efficacy of early, enough methylprednisone combined with immunoglobulin in treatments of severe hand-foot-mouth disease.
METHODS568 patients of severe hand-foot-mouth disease involved were randomized into group A and group B. Patients of both groups all accepted symptomatic treatment, supportive therapy and the treatment of control intracranial pressure. And patients in group A received the treatment of early, enough methylprednisone combined with immunoglobulin, whereas patients in group B received conventional therapy. RESULTS; Curative rate of group A was better than that of group B, otherwise incidence rate of critical illness was less than that of group B. The control time of fever, erythra, neurological symptoms, features of pneumonia and increased leukocyte of group A was shorter than that of group B, and no more recent or Long-term treatment-related adverse reaction in group A.
CONCLUSIONEarly, enough methylprednisone combined with immunoglobulin is effective, safe in treating severe hand-foot-mouth disease, and worthy to recommand its clinical use.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of anatomic plate internal fixation in treatment of complex proximal humeral fractures combined with humeral shaft fractures.Methods This retrospective case series study included 58 patients with complex proximal humeral fractures combined with humeral shaft fractures admitted from July 1998 to July 2015.There were 31 males and 27 females,with a mean age of 63 years (range,18-86 years).According to the Neer classification of proximal humeral fractures,three-part fractures were noted in 42 patients and four-part fractures in 16 patients.Four patients were combined with compressed or splitting fractures of the head of humerus and 38 patients with dislocation of the shoulder.According to the site classification of femoral shaft fractures,proximal 1/3 shaft fractures were noted in 36 patients,middle and distal 1/3 shaft fractures in 19,and multisegmental shaft fractures in three.All patients underwent anatomic reduction and anatomic plate internal fixation.Bone healing,Neer score of function outcome and complications were evaluated after operation.Results Mean duration of follow-up was 8.6 years (range,1-18 years).Bone union was observed in all patients after 10 to 24 weeks (mean,14.5 weeks).According to the Neer score,the outcomes were excellent in 23 patients,good in 25,fair in eight and poor in two,with the excellent rate of 83 %.Complications such as infection,nerve injury and vascular injury were not observed after operation.Six patients suffered from limitations of shoulder anterior flexion and rise,one patient had humeral head necrosis and treated by shock wave treatment,and one patient had poor incision healing with hemorrhagic effusion and cured after dressing.Conclusion Anatomic plate internal fixation can contribute to fast functional recovery and few complications in treatment of complex proximal humeral fractures combined with humeral shaft fractures.

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is a kind of immune regulation enzyme.IDO is the only rate-limiting enzyme that can catalyze the oxidative clearage of indole ring in tryptophan and its catabolism along the kynurenine pathway.IDO1 is one of the important mechanisms in maternal immune tolerance,which participates in the regulation of maternal-fetal immune relationship.The newly discovered IDO2 also plays an important role in this relationship.The abnormal expression of IDO2 is associated with the male infertility.

Objective To explore the morphological changes of human mesenchymal stem cells(hMSCs) after exposure to extracorporeal shock wave(ESW).Methods An optimal experimental energy dose of ESW was applied to hMSCs of passage one.The morphological changes were examined by using inverted phase contrast microscope(IPCM),transmission electron microscope and cytochemical staining.Results ESW of 5kV and 100 times could raise the viability and proliferation of the cells.In the hMSCs of passage 3-5,the multiplicative division was speeded up,and the cells in the nuclear fission phase were increased.In the hMSCs of passage 7-9,the volume of the cells increased,and the endoplasmic reticulum was expanded.The Golgi's apparatus was developed and the matrix of the cells was bunchy.In the hMSCs of passage 11,the multiplicative division was also detected.Conclusion The proliferation and differentiation of the hMSCs can be improved by the treatment of ESW.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect and safety of plastering Chinese Compound Shenhuang Ointment (CSO) at Shenque (RN8) in promoting the rehabilitation of postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction patients of qi stagnation blood stasis syndrome (QSBSS).
METHODSA prospective, multi-centered, randomized, double-blinded, controlled trial was conducted in 220 postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction patients of QSBSS. They were randomly assigned to two groups, the CSO group (110 cases) and the placebo group (110 cases). CSO was plastered at Shenque (RN8) for 5 days after operation. The time of exhaustion, defecation, the recovery of intestinal peristalsis, integrals of TCM syndrome, and serum levels of motilin (MOT)and somatostatin (SS) were observed.
RESULTSCompared with the placebo group, the condition of exhaustion and defecation, the recovery of intestinal peristalsis on the 3rd day after operation was all improved (P < 0.05). The integrals of TCM syndrome at day 2, 3, and 4 were more significantly lowered in the CSO group than in the placebo group (P < 0.01, P < 0.05). The total effective rate of TCM syndrome was 95.3% in the CSO group, better than that in the placebo group (91.8%, P < 0.05). Compared with the placebo group, the serum MOT level increased and the serum SS level decreased at day 5 after operation in the CSO group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSThe plastering of CSO at Shenque (RN8) could advance the time of exhaustion and defecation, and improve patients' clinical symptoms. And patients could tolerate well.

Aim The effect of tetrandrine on TGF-?1 mRNA expression in glomerulosclerosis rat was observed. Methods The rats were randomly divided into four groups, such as the normal control group (sham operative rat), glomerulosclerosis model group,tetrandrine group and amlodipine group. The expression of TGF-?1 mRNA was analyzed by Northern blot hybridization. Results The expressions of TGF-?1 mRNA in two treating groups were much lower than untreated model group. There were no difference between these two treating groups. Conclusion Tetrandrine can decrease the expression of TGF-?1 mRNA in glomerulosclerosis rat induced by unilateral renctomy plus adriamycin.

Artemisia lactiflora is an important medicinal plant in China. The antitumor and antioxidant activities of the extracts of 54 endophytic fungi from the plant were screened via MTT assay and DPPH scavenging radical assay, respectively. The bioactive strains were identified based on similarity of 5.8S gene and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences. The results showed that extracts from ten (18.5%) isolates exhibited antitumor activity, and which from two (3.7%) isolates exhibited antioxidant activity. The Alternaria sp. GYBH47 strain was simultaneously having antagonistic activity against HL-60 leukemia, MCF-7 breast and COLO205 colon cell lines, and Phomopsis sp. GYBH42 strain having cytotoxic and antioxidant activities. The results indicated that endophytic fungi from Artemisia lactiflora are potential resources to find valuable bioactive components.
