1.Application of control-release preparations of growth factor in treating neurodegeneration diseases
International Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2006;0(05):-
Incorporation of growth factors in polymeric drug delivery systems serves to maintain its bioactivity and long-term sustained release. With the development of controlled release techniques from simple mixing growth factors with carrier materials to controlled release microspheres, this kind of delivery formulations gain their extensive application. The present review focused on the application of biodegradable delivery systems of growth factors in treating neurodegeneration diseases.

Objective To explore the effect of protease-activated receptor 1(PAR-1) activation on the expression of CXCR4 mR-NA of mouse endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and proliferation ,migration of EPCs .Methods Mouse EPCs were activated by different concentration of SFLLRN (one agonist of PAR-1) ,or transfected by small interfering RNA of PAR-1 .The expressions of PAR-1 and CXCR4 mRNA of EPCs were detected by fluorescent quantitative real-time PCR .Proliferation ,migration of EPCs were detected by MTT ,Transwell chambers respectively .Results The expressions of PAR-1 and CXCR4 mRNA in SFLLRN group were higher than that in other groups(P< 0 .05) .The expression of CXCR4 mRNA was highly positive correlation with PAR-1 mRNA(r=0 .991) .The proliferation ,migration of mouse EPCs were induced by activation of PAR-1 .Conclusion Activation of PAR-1 promotes cell proliferation and migration of mouse EPCs ,this effect may be depended on CXCR4 .

Objective To study the influence of hyponatremia on prognosis in hospitalized patients with chronic heart failure . Methods A total of 322 patients with chronic heart failure from Feb .2006 to Aug .2012 were retrospectively reviewed and random-ly divided into hyponatremia group(n=161) and normal serum sodium group(n=161) .The clinical data of the two groups were compared .Results There were significant difference between the two groups in the BNP levels ,length of stay ,hospital mortality and readmission rates(P<0 .05) .Serum sodium concentration in hyponatremia group was decreased with the decrease of cardiac function(P<0 .05) ,BNP levels was elevated with the decrease of blood sodium level (P<0 .05) ,days of hospitalization and hospital mortality were increased with the decrease of cardiac function (P< 0 .05) .Conclusion Patients with heart failure combined hy-ponatremia have poor cardiac function ,higher in-hospital mortality and readmission rates and longer hospital stay .
