Microtubule is one of the key components of the cytoskeleton and plays an important role in the maintenance of cell shape and the process of signal transduction and mitosis. Due to the extreme importance of microtubule in the process of mitosis, tubulin becomes one of the most important targets for development of new anticancer drugs and tubulin inhibitors are used for the treatment of cancer nowadays. These inhibitors have antitumor activity by inhibiting or promoting the assembly of tubulin to microtubules and interfering the process of cell mitosis. This review summarized the research progress of the tubulin inhibitors, especially the introduction of the tubulin inhibitors of pharmacological activities and the progress of clinical research. Also, the development trend of these inhibitors is discussed.

Objective To investigate the current situation of iodine deficiency disorders and the effect of control measures in Sanmenxia city of Henan province, and to formulate targeted control measures for iodine deficiency disorders. Methods In 2008, five villages(offices) were selected according to the east, west, south,north and center position in each county in 6 counties(cities, districts) of Lingbao, Shan, Hubin, Yima, Mianchi,and Lushi in Sanmenxia city. One primary school was selected in each village(office), fifty students aged 8 - 10 in each primary school were randomly selected to check thyroid and their urine and edible salt were collected to detect iodine. Thirty 5th-grade students in each school were selected to carry out the questionnaire survey of health education about iodine deficiency disorders. According to the east, west, south, north and center position, five potable water samples were selected to detect iodine in the village where the primary school was in. Questionnaire survey was also carried out among ten housewives in the village. Thyroid was examined by palpation;ammonium persulfate digestion-arsenic cerium catalytic spectrophotometry(WS/T 107-2006) was used to detect urinary iodine;direct titration(GB/T 13025-1999 ) was used to detect salt iodine;arsenic cerium catalytic spectrophotometry (GB/T 5750.5-2006) was used to detect water iodine. Results One thousand and five hundreds children aged 8 - 10 were analyzed in 6 counties(cities, districts), the rate of goiter was 3.30%(50/1500), the median of urinary iodine was 273.15 μg/L. One thousand and five hundreds salt samples were detected, the coverage rate of iodized salt was 99.93% (1499/1500), the qualified rate of iodized salt was 98.00% (1469/1499), the edible rate of qualified iodized salt was 97.93% (1469/1500), the coverage rate of non-iodized salt was 0.07% (1/1500), the median of salt iodine was 28.9 mg/kg. One hundred and fifty water samples were collected, the median of water iodine was 2.76 μg/L. The pass rate of the questionnaire survey of health education about iodine deficiency disorders was 97.11% (874/900) in students and 98.67% (296/300) in housewives, respectively. Conclusions The prevention and control of iodine deficiency disorders has achieved significant results and the monitoring indicators have reached the national standard for eliminating iodine deficiency disorders in Sanmenxia city.

BackgroundCorneal graft reject is a major cause of corneal transplantation failure.Although many immune-suppressing drugs have been utilized to reduce the reject response,their adverse effects on organ and tissue are still insoluble.The tolerance induction of natural killer T (NKT) cells is currently under investigation.However,the study on the application of NKT cells in high risk corneal transplantation is seldom.ObjectiveThe present study was to explore the effects of α-GalCer-activated NKT cella on allografts survival after high-risk corneal transplantation surgery via retro-bubar injection.Methods The lymphocytes were picked up from the spleen of SPF Lewis rats and cultured in RPMI 1640 medium with 100 mg/L α-GalCer.After one week,NKT cells were sorted by the FACSVantage system as CD161+ TCR-α+ cell from the lymphocytes with the cell densities 5×106/ml.Ten SPF Fisher344 rats were used to prepare the donor corneas,and 20 Lewis rats served as recipients.The high risk corneal transplantation models were created by corneal suturing in 20 recipient rats.Penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) was performed in the model rats.0.1 ml NKT cells or the same volume of normal saline solution were retro-bubarly injected at the end of surgery respectively.The corneal allografts were observed and scored based on Holland criteria at the three-day interval under the slit lamp for 30 days.Two weeks after surgery,three rats from each group were sacrificed by excessive anesthesia method and the eyeballs were obtained for histopathological examination.The inflammatory cell infiltration ( CD4+ and CD8+ ) in grafts was evaluated by immunochemistry and flow cytometry.The use of the animals complied with the Statement of ARVO.ResultsThe mean survival time of the allografts was (7.90± 1.37) days in normal saline solution group and (14.70± 1.49) days in NKT cell group,showing a statistically significant difference between the two groups ( t =10.61,P =0.00 ).Two weeks after surgery,all the allografts showed the severe opacity with lots of new blood vessels and edema in normal saline solution group.However,the corneal grafts were clear in NKT cell group.Abundant CD4+ and CD8+T lymphocytes were seen in the allografts in normal saline solution group,but the inflammatory cells were obviously less in NKT cell group.The percentage of NKT cells in the spleen was (5.67±0.25)% in NKT cell group and ( 1.21±0.19)% in normal saline solution group ( t =8.43,P =0.00 ).Conclusionsα-GalCer-activated NKT cells can prolong the survival time of allografts in high-risk corneal transplantation.Retro-bubar injection of α-GalCer-activated NKT cells probably is a new approach to the prevention of the rejection of corneal transplantation.

Abstract: Objective To investigate the pollution of paralytic shellfish poisons (PSP) in shellfish sold in Hainan Province from 2018 to 2021. Methods From 2018 to 2021, the content of 10 paralytic shellfish poisons including saxitoxin (STX), neosaxitoxin (neoSTX), gonyautoxins 1 (GTX1), gonyautoxins 2 (GTX2), gonyautoxins 3 (GTX3), gonyautoxins 4 (GTX4), gonyautoxins 5 (GTX5), decarbamoylsaxitoxin (dcSTX), decarbamoylgonyau toxins 2 (dcGTX2) and decarbamoylgonyau toxins 3 (dcGTX3) in 7 kinds of shellfish commonly sold in 13 cities and counties in Hainan province was analyzed. Results The detection rate of PSP in 360 shellfish samples was 10.3%. Among them, the highest detection rate of STX was 5.83%, followed by GTX2 detection rate of 4.17%; the detection rate of neoSTX and GTX3 were both 1.67%; the detection rate of GTX1 was 1.39%. None of the five PSP, GTX4, GTX5, dcSTX, dcGTX2 and dcGTX3, were detected. Four types of PSP were detected in fanscallops, two were detected in oysters, mussels and Scapharca subcrenata, only one was detected in scallops, and no toxin contamination was detected in clams and razor clams. A single sample of fanscallops detected a maximum of 4 PSP, and a single sample of oysters, scallops, mussels and Scapharca subcrenata detected a maximum of 1 PSP. The equivalence of PSP in all samples was ND-155.6 μg/kg.The annual detection rate of PSP from high to low was: 20.0% in 2020, 15.6% in 2019, 5.3% in 2018, and 2.0% in 2021, and none of the samples tested exceeded the standard. Continuously detectable STX in 2018-2020, all PSP that could be detected in 2018 were STX. In 2019, in addition to STX detected in scallops and Scapharca subcrenata, neoSTX was also detected in oysters, mussels and Scapharca subcrenata. In 2020, PSP was only detected from scallops, and GTX2 could be detected in all positive specimens, while 5 STX, 5 GTX1 and 6 GTX3 were detected. Only GTX2 detected from scallops in 2021. STX was detected in shellfish sold in 12 cities and counties, GTX2 can be detected in 10 cities and counties, neoSTX can be detected in 5 cities and counties, GTX1 and GTX2 were detected in 4 cities and counties respectively. Shellfish sold in Wenchang and Lingshui markets can detect 5 types of PSP. Conclusion Some types of shellfish on the market in Hainan are contaminated with some kind of PSP pollution risks, and it is necessary to strengthen the supervision of PSP in marketed shellfish.

Objective To explore the influence of the lentiviral vectors-mediated mouse genetic engineering regulatory T cells (Treg) infused after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (alloBMT) on graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect in mice.Methods Lentivirus-mediated expression of Forkhead box P3 (Foxp3) transformed CD4 + CD25- T cells from Balb/c mice into engineered Tregs in vitro. An allo-BMT model of Balb/c→C57BL/6 mice was established. The recipients were given lethal X-ray total body irradiation before transplantation.Mice were randomly assigned into five groups and each group contained 10 recipients: (1) The recipients in radiation group were injected with 0.2 ml RPMI 1640; (2) The recipients in leukemia control group were injected with 5 × 106 donor bone marrow cells and 500 mouse T-cell leukemia/lymphoma cells (EL4 cells); (3) The recipients in transplantation control group were injected with 5 × 106 donor bone marrow cells and 5 × 106 splenocytes plus 500 EL4 cells; (4) The recipients in engineering Treg group were injected with 5 × 106 donor bone marrow cells, 5 × 106 splenocytes and 500 EL4 cells plus 5 × 106 genetic engineering Treg; (5) The recipients in empty vector control group were injected with 5 × 106 donor bone marrow cells, 5 × 106 splenocytes and 500 EL4 cells plus 5 × 106 empty vector-transduced CD4+ CD25- T cells. Survival time, clinical GVHD score or histopathological analysis (skin, liver and small intestine) were observed after allo-BMT. Chimerism of bone marrow cells from recipients survived for 60 days after transplantation was measured. Results The mean survival time in radiation group, leukemia control group, transplantation control group,engineering Treg group and empty vector control group was ( 10. 3 ± 1.5), (20. 7 ± 1.9), (26. 0 ±4.3), (49. 0 ± 17. 7) and (24. 4 ± 4. 1 ) days respectively. The survival time in engineering Treg group was significantly prolonged as compared with other groups as judged by the log-rank test (P<0. 05).Histopathological analysis in several target organs (skin, liver and small intestine) confirmed the presence of severe GVHD in transplantation control group and empty vector control group. No histological signs of GVHD or leukemia were observed in recipients in engineering Treg group and clinical GVHD scores in this group were significantly decreased as compared with transplantation control group and empty vector control group. Conclusion Co-injection of genetic engineering Treg can efficiently prevent recipients from lethal GVHD without affecting GVL activity during allo-BMT in mice.
