BACKGROUND: Based on excellent hydration ability, the materials for repairing bone defects could be fabricated by three-dimensional printing from amorphous calcium phosphate simply with pure water as adhesive solution; and more importantly, the printed products could be directly used in clinical medicine without high temperature sintering, so amorphous calcium phosphate fits well with technical features of three-dimensional printing. OBJECTIVE: To prepare bone repair materials of amorphous calcium phosphate with mechanical property and printing accuracy to meet practical application requirements by three-dimensional printing. METHODS: Amorphous calcium phosphate used as prototyping powder was prepared by coprecipitation method, and then the viscosity and surface tension of the deionized water as adhesive solution were adjusted by thickening agent and leveling agent, respectively. Afterwards, the three-dimensional printing productions for repairing bone defects were fabricated, and the effects of the viscosity and surface tension of adhesive solution on the forming of droplet, liquid-solid interaction and the mechanical property as well as printing accuracy of three-dimensional printing productions were investigated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: By investigating the forming of droplet and liquid-solid interaction, the optimal physicochemical parameters of the adhesive solution were obtained. The viscosity and surface tension of the optimal adhesive solution were 8.0 × 10-3 Pa•s and 40.0 × 10-3 N/m separately, and at this point, not only droplet could form stably and controllably (Z=5.06), but also it smoothly struck the powder layer during spraying (K=14.29), and then it infiltrated into the powder layer uniformly and spread in time (We=36.86). The corresponding three-dimensional printing production has good mechanical properties (compressive strength is 30.4 MPa), high printing accuracy (forming error is 0.9 mm), and a large number of pores indicating good bone conductivity, which partially meets clinical demands of repairing bone defects.

Objective To construct three kinds of doxorubicin liposomes modified with cholesterol-galactose ligand by lipase-catalyzed method and compare their characteristic of pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution in vivo. Methods Three types of cholesterol-galactose ligands, CHS-C8-GalNAc, CHS-C8-GAL, and CHS-C8-LA were synthetized by lipase-catalyzed method in nonaqueous phase. The structure characterizations of products were obtained by MS and NMR. Conventional liposomes (CL DOX) and ligand-coupled liposomes (NGal-LP DOX, Gal-LP DOX, and LA-LP DOX) were prepared by thin film dispersion-ammonium sulphate gradient method. Structure-activity relationship between asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPr) and the chemical structure of the glycolipids was explored through the pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution parameters of ligand-coupled liposomes in vivo. Results The desired compounds with a high yield of above 90% were confirmed by MS and NMR. The liposomes average size was lower than 90 nm, polymer dispersity index was lower than 0.1, encapsulation efficiency was greater than 99%, leakage rat was lower than 5% with 24 h, and zeta potential closed to zero. The affinity of the three ligand molecules to liver was the following order: CHS-C8-GalNAc > CHS-C8-LA > CHS-C8-Gal. However, only the liposomes modified with CHS-C8-GalNAc could significantly be inhibited by the preinjection of asialofetuin for hepatic uptake rate (P < 0.01), but the liposomes modified with CHS-C8-LA and CHS-C8-Gal could not be inhibited by the preinjection of asialofetuin for hepatic uptake rate (P > 0.05). Conclusion The ligand with N-acetylgalactosamine residue showed high targeting efficiency for hepatocytes, while the ligand with D-galactose (Gal) or lactitol residue could competitive bind with Gal particle receptor on kupffer cells.

Objective: To synthesize brain targeting lipid material [(5-cholesten-3β-yl) (D-glucopyranose-6) sebacate, CHS-SE-GLU] by lipase as catalyst in nonaqueous phase and optimize the preparation technology and formulation of CHS-SE-GLU-modified liposomes. Methods: CHS-SE-GLU was synthesized from CHS-SE prepared in previous work and D-glucose using lipase Novozym 435 in acetone. The structure characterization of the products is obtained by MS and NMR. The CHS-SE-GLU-modified paclitaxel-loaded brain targeting liposomes (GLU-PTX-LP) were prepared by thin film dispersion method. Single factor evaluation was applied to optimizing its preparation technology and formulation. Results: CHS-SE-GLU was confirmed by MS and NMR as target products. The optimal formulation and technology of GLU-PTX-LP were as follows: HSPC as membrane material, the ratio of HSPC to PTX was 0.1, the ratio of CHS to HSPC was 0.5, the dosage of DSPG-Na was 2.5%, hydration time was 0.5 h, and hydration temperature was 50 ℃. Three batches of samples were prepared by optimum preparation process and the average encapsulation efficiency was (93.62±1.34)%, (93.75±1.77)%, (92.04±1.50)%; The average particle size was (89.56±1.35), (92.05±3.42), (104.91±3.71) nm; And the average Zeta potential was (-25.21±0.27), (-26.43±0.44), (-25.17±0.65) mV, respectively. Conclusion: Lipase-catalyzed method for the preparation of brain targeting lipid material is simple and environment friendly with high yield. The entrapment efficiency, particle size, and stability of brain targeting drug-loading liposomes modified by CHS-SE-GLU all meet the requirement, which shows good application prospect.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of family rehabilitation plan (FRP) on motor function of stroke patients with hemiplegia.Methods64 patients were randomly divided into the FRP group (32 cases) and control group (32 cases). The patients in the FRP group critically followed the schedule and activities scheduled on FRP and were assessed and guided in out-patient department every two weeks. The patients in the control group made schedule and carried on activities by themselves. Motor function was assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and modified Barthel index (MBI) respectively.ResultsMotor scores of the patients in two groups significantly increased after treatment ( P<0.001), and that of the FRP group was significantly better than that of the control group ( P<0.001).ConclusionThe FRP can significantly improve motor function of stroke patients with hemiplegia.

Objective To study the correlation between the polymorphisms of NR3C1 gene and aggressive behavior in Yunnan Han population.Methods Five SNPs of the NR3C1 gene (rs6190,rs6191,rs6198,rs41423247 and rs56149945) were genotyped in 194 unrelated prisoners who committed violent-crimes and 301 healthy controls using improved Multiplex-ligase-detection reaction(iMLDR) method,and the data were statistically analyzed with the SPSS19.0soflware and PHASE2.1platform.Results Single locus analysis showed that the allelic distribution of rs6191and rs41423247did not show significant differencesbetween the control groupand the aggressive-behavior group as well as the robbery sub-group and intentional injury sub-group.However,significant difference was foundin the rs41423247 genotype distribution betweencontrol groupand robbery sub-group (p=0.048).In addition,there were no significant differences for the four haplotypes between the control group,the attack group,the robbery subgroup and the intentional injury subgroup.Conclusion These findings indicate that rs41423247 polymorphism of the NR3C1gene might play a role in susceptibility to aggressive behavior and rs6191 polymorphismmay not be correlated withaggressive behavior.

Previous work from this laboratory has cloned a novel gene NOR1 and showed its extensive expression in normal tissues and down-regulation in carcinomas. To further investigate its downstream target genes and better understand its function, NOR1 was over-expressed in HepG2 hepatoma cells and global changes in gene expressions from a stable line were identified by cDNA microarrays. The results discovered 59 genes up-regulated in these cells compared with the original cells, including Grb2, HBP17,TNFRSF11B genes that have been implicated in tumorigenesis and cancer development. In addition, 103 down-regalated genes were also identified, including genes encoding Bik, MAP2K6 and ZFP95 proteins. The expression patterns of certain genes identified by microarrays were validated by quantitative real-time PCR and the results showed that expression difference were statistically significant (P< 0.05). These data suggest that NOR1 may influence the biology and cancerous behaviors of HepG2 cells by regulating expression of a set of genes involved in signal traasduction, cell cycle regulation, transcription and Wanslation controls.
