Graphene/Room temperature ionic liquids ( GN/IL ) nanocomposite was prepared by grinding graphene and ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ( BMIMPF6 ) which mixed together in appropriate proportion. Atomic force microscopy ( AFM ) was utilized to characterize the formation of the GN-ILs. Due to the synergistic effect between ionic liquids and graphene, the nanocomposite exhibited excellent performance toward H2 O2 reduction. A novel uric acid ( UA) electrochemical sensor was fabricated based on uricase-GN/IL modified glassy carbon electrode. The experimental results showed that the response displayed a good linear response toward UA in the concentration range from 0. 002-4. 5 mmol/L. The corre1ation coefficient was 0. 995 and the detection limit was 0. 85 μmol/L. The easily prepared electrochemical sensor had favorable stability and selectivity and could be applied to the quick determination of UA in human serum, thus providing a new UA detection method for clinical trial.

Objective:To explore the relations of adolescents'behavioral problems to genetic and environmental factors.Methods:66 twin pairs aged 12 to 18 years in Chongqing were included in the study.The Youth Self-Report (YSR) was used to evaluate behavioral problems.The blood sample was collected to identify zygosity of twins.Genetic effects were evaluated by comparing the phenotypic correlationamong monozygotic twins(rMZ) and the phenotypic correlation among dizygotic twins(rDZ).Structural equation modeling (SEM) was performed to evaluate the relations of adolescents behavioral problems to the additive genetic factors (A),shared environment factors (C) and individual specific environmental factors (E).Results:MZ correlations of Social problems and Delinquency were less than DZ correlations(rMZ ＜ rDZ).It prompted that data was not suitable for genetic analysis.MZ correlations(rMZ) of any others (including social withdrawal,somatic complaints,anxiety/depression,thinking problem,attention problems,self-destructive/identity problem)were less than 2DZ correlations (2rDZ).It prompted to fit the ACE model.The optimal model was AE model.Among the contribution of the additive genetic factors (A) and individual specific environmental factors (E)to the total variance,the genetic factors ranged from 0.52 to 0.57 and individual specific environmental factors ranged from 0.43 to 0.48 in anxiety/depression and self-destructive/identity problem.For social withdrawal,somatic complaints,thinking problem and attention problems,the genetic factors ranged from 0.17 to 0.45and individual specific environmental factors ranged from 0.55 to 0.83.Conclusion:There is no obvious relationship between genetic effects and adolescent social problems or delinquency.Other behaviors problems (social withdrawal,somatic complaints,anxiety/depression,thinking problem,attention problem,self-destructive/identity problem)are correlated with additive genetic factors and individual specific environmental factors.Additive genetic factors have high-correlation with anxiety/depression and self-destructive/identity problem,and individual specific environmental factors have high-correlation with other factors.

BACKGROUND: Current research of mechano growth factor (MGF) mainly focuses on the muscles and nerve damage and repair, and it has bean confirmed that MGF can promote muscle cell hypertrophy and nerve repair significantly. Regarding its role in fracture healing is unclear. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of MGF on radial fracture healing in rabbits. METHODS: By using random digital table method, 12 New Zealand rabbits were divided into 3 groups: blank control group, low-dose MGF group and high-dose MGF group. The models with 5 mm bone defect were produced in the middle of the left radius in rabbits. At 3 days after the surgical operation, the defective areas were given 0.2 mL PBS or 0.2 mL MGF (0.36 and 0.72 g/L) injected into the ends of fracture areas, respectively, once per day for continuous 5 days. At 4, 6, 8 weeks after operation, X-ray photography was used to evaluate the healing of fracture, and the histological examinations were performed at the 8~(th) weak to observe the call morphology at the fracture lesion. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At 1 day after operation, the activities of rabbits were reduced, with slightly reduced food intake, at 2 days they almost recovered to normal activities and diet. At 3 days, the surgical incision slightly swelled with a small amount of bleeding and without obvious signs of infection. All 12 rabbits entered the final analysis. X-rays showed that two fracture ends have basically combined in the high-dose MGF group at 4 weeks post-surgery, cortical bone was continuous and fracture lines were unclear. At 6 weaks the bone medullary cavity almost run through and fully run through at 8 weeks. The healing time in the high-dose MGF group was remarkably shorter than that in blank control group and low-dose MGF group, the healing was in high quality. At 8 weeks after operation, a large number of osteoid tissues were observed in the blank control group, a small amount of woven bone formed, at a transition period from the fibrous bone callus to the bony bone callus; a large number of woven bone formed inthe low-dose MGF group, at bony bone callus period; in the high-dose MGF group, a large number of woven bones converted into mature lamellar bone, at the callus rebuilding phase, which was consistent with imaging results. It is indicated that MGF can accelerate fracture healing significantly in a rabbit model and shows a dose-dependent manner in a certain range.

Objective:To prepare PLGA nanoparticles modified with folic acid conjugated chitosan oligosaccharide containing pa-clitaxel (F-CS-PLGA-NPs) and study the inhibitory effect on SKOV-3. Methods:F-CS-PLGA-NPs were prepared by an interface dep-osition method, 30% ethanol was used as the release medium for the in vitro release profiles of nanoparticles, and MTT was adopted to evaluate the inhibitory effect of paclitaxel with different formulations and concentrations on SKOV-3. Results:The particle size and zeta potential of F-CS-PLGA-NPs was (321 ± 0. 76) nm and (22. 6 ± 0. 26) mV, respectively, the drug loading was (5. 1 ± 0. 25)%, and the encapsulation efficiency was (41. 96 ± 1. 96)%. F-CS-PLGA-NPs had a similar in vitro release profiles with the ordinary nanoparti-cles ( PLGA-NPs) . About 35% of paclitaxel was released from the nanoparticles in the initial 24 h, and then a near zero order release at a relative slow rate was shown, and the cumulative release rate in 144 h was about 75%. The results of cell experiments suggested that at the same paclitaxel concentration, the inhibition effect of F-CS-PLGA-NPs group was stronger than that of the PLGA-NPs group and the solution group. The inhibition effect of F-CS-PLGA-NPs could be reduced by free folic acid. Conclusion:PLGA nanoparticles modified with folic acid conjugated chitosan oligosaccharide can increase the targeting efficiency in SKOVS-3 tumor cells.

Background & Objective: Early life stresses, such as social isolation, have lasting effects on the development of emotion and behavior, in which vasopressin plays important roles. This study aimed to assess the possible association of central release of vasopressin with social isolation. Methods: The social isolation model was performed in male mice who endured 6-week social isolation after weaning. Vasopressin expression in the paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus (PVN) was measured with immunohistochemistry. Released vasopressin from PVN was measured with radioimmunoassay. Results: Vasopressin immunoreactive cells number decreased in the PVN, medial parvocellular division in social isolation-reared mice, compared to the group-reared counterparts. Social isolation decreased short social exposure-induced vasopressin release from PVN. Isolation-reared mice exhibited anxiogenic profile and difficulty in social recognition. Conclusions: This study provides new evidence for the important role of vasopressin in the development of emotional and social behaviors.

OBJECTIVETo explore the relationship of bone cement distribution and the puncture angle in the treatment of thoracolumbar compression fractures with unilateral percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP).

METHODSThe clinical data of 37 patients with thoracolumbar osteoporotic compression fractures underwent PKP between January 2013 to March 2014 were retrospectively analyzed, all punctures were performed unilaterally. There were 6 males, aged from 65 to 78 years old with an average of (71.83 ± 6.15) years; and 31 females, aged from 57 to 89 years old with an average of (71.06 ± 7.89) years. Imaging data were analyzed and puncture angle and puncture point were measured before operation. According to the measured data, the puncture were performeds during the operation. Distribution area of bone cement were calculated by X-rays data after operation. The effect of bone cement distribution on suitable puncture angle was analyzed; VAS score was used to evaluate the clinical effects.

RESULTSThe puncture angle of thoracic vertebrae in T8-T12 was from 28° to 33° with an average 30.4°; and the puncture angle of lumbar vertebrae in L1-L5 was from 28° to 35° with an average of 31.3°. Postoperative X-rays showed the area ratios of bilateral bone cement was 0.97 ± 0.15. Bilateral diffuse area were basic equal. Postoperative VAS score decreased significantly (1.89 ± 1.29 vs 7.03 ± 1.42).

CONCLUSIONThrough measure imaging data before operation with PKP,the puncture point and entry point can be confirmed. According the measured data to puncture during operation, unilateral puncture can reach the distribution effect of the bilateral puncture in the treatment of thoracolumbar compression fractures.
