OBJECTIVE: To construct a tumor-targeting and pH-sensitive lipoprotein-mimic nanocarrier containing paclitaxel(BSA-LC/DOPE-PTX)for effective antitumor therapy. METHODS: In vitro drug release study was conducted using dialysis method. The stability of BSA-LC/DOPE-PTX was studied by testing the aggregation of BSA-LC/DOPE-PTX in 50% human plasma. The cytotoxicity of drug-loaded nanocarrier against MCF-7 cells was evaluated by standard MTT assay. The subcellular localization and intracellular drug release behavior of BSA-LC/DOPE were evaluated by LSCM. RESULTS: In vitro drug release study demonstrated that paclitaxel(PTX)was released from BSA-LC/DOPE in a pH-dependent manner. The stability study showed that there was no significant change, suggesting that the coupling BSA could increase the stability in plasma. The cellular inhibition of BSA-LC/DOPE-PTX with BSA targeting agents was greater than that of LC/DOPE-PTX. BSA-LC/DOPE facilitated the capacity of endosomal escape, and rapidly released the loaded agents into the cytoplasm under acid conditions in lysosomes. CONCLUSION: BSA-LC/DOPE, as biocompatible, tumor-targeting and pH-sensitive lipoprotein-mimic nanocarrier, is a promising system for effective intracellular delivery of PTX to tumors with optimal anti-tumor efficacy.

Objective To set up a system in vitro to rapidly recover plasma proteins lost during artificial-liver treatment.Methods The polyprotein precipitation was obtained by all proteins whose isoelectric point pH value were between 7.3 and 5.1,which collided with each other and aggregated using gradient pH co-precipitation(adding 1 mol/L citric acid slowly in the plasma solution to change the pH values gradually from 7.3 to 5.1 in 5 h)combined with salting out(degree of saturation of NaCl is 33%,reacted for 5.5 h at 4℃)or low-temperature ethanol precipitation(40% ethanol, reacted for 5.5 h at -7℃)so that to get rid of toxicants by discarding the supernatant.Results In the range of pH 5.1-7.3,50%(29g/57g)of the total plasma proteins had been recovered by the gradient pH salting out and 41%(25 g/61g)by the gradient pH low-temperature ethanol co-precipi- tation.The protein remained in the supernatant was mostly albumin and its combined bilirubin.The levels of total bilirubin decreased to 0.07% and 0.06% of the original levels by these two methods respectively and the serum HBV DNA level decreased to be undetected(quantitative PCR).Conclu- sions The proteins with close isoelectric point can co-precipitated with the presence of high concen- tration of NaCl or low-temperature ethanol and by changing the pH value gradually.The total protein in the discarded plasma during artificial-liver treatment can be recovered rapidly using the gradient pH coprecipitation.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and characteristics of coronary artery lesion between Hui and Han nationality young pa?tient with acute myocardial infarction(AMI)who were referred to the affiliated hospital of Ningxia Medical University. Methods A total of 189 con?secutive AMI young patients(age≤44 years)who underwent coronary angiography were retrospectively retrieved from the database.Those patients with AMI were divided into Hui group(46 cases)and Han group(143 cases).

Results Compared with Han group,Hui group are more younger than Han group,high prevalence rate of diabetes, lower smoking history and lower drinking history(P<0.05). Coronary angiography showed the incidence of three?vessel lesions was significant low?er in Han group than in Hui group(P<0.05). Both group showed single vessel was the most common lesion. Conclusion Hui nationality patients with acute myocardial infraction are more younger and are are more prone to suffering from diabetes history、lower smoking history and lower drinking history than Han nationality patients. The coronary artery lesions of Hui nationality patients with acute acute myocardial infraction are more three?branch lesions than Han nationality patients.

Objective To retrospectively analyse the anterior and posterior surgical approaches in treatment of unstable burst thoracolumbar fractures and compare radiographic measurement parameters of beth surgical techniques so as to provide references for surgical treatment of such kind of fracture. Methods The study selected 41 patients with unstable thoracolumbar fracture treated with either anterior neurodecomprossion and fixation (n=19) or posterior reposition and internal fixation by pedicle screw (n=22) from January 2003 to December 2005. All patients were followed up for 24-48 months ( mean 38 months) and divided into anterior approach group and posterior approach group. Sagittal alignment was assessed by the Cobb angle depending on lateral radiographs. Results The Cobb angle of the anterior approach group was average 27.3°on admission but 3.1°postoperatively and 4.6° at follow-up; while the Cobb angle of posterior approach was average 26.1° on admission, 3.0°postoperatively and 12.5°at follow-up. There was no statistical difference between Cobb angle on admission and postoperative one (P>0.05) but showed significant differences between them at follow-up ( P<0.01). Conclusion The anterior surgical approach can consistently yield better maintenance of kyphotic correction compared with the posterior surgical approach.

The complete chloroplast genome of medicinal plant Asarum caudigerum Hance and its close relative A. cardiophyllum Franchet were sequenced using Illumina Hiseq technology, and assembled, annotated, and characterized by bioinformatic methods in this study. Then phylogenetic analysis of the complete chloroplast genomes of A. caudigerum, A. cardiophyllum, and twelve published species was conducted. The results indicated that the chloroplast genomes ranged from 186 215-186 985 bp in length, with a large single copy (LSC, 89 445-90 169 bp) and two inverted repeats (IRa/IRb, 48 387-48 408 bp). The overall GC content was 37.4%-37.5%. A total of 144 chloroplast genes were annotated, including 98 protein coding genes, 38 tRNA genes and 8 rRNA genes. In addition, complex genomic rearrangements were detected in the chloroplast genome of Asarum. Meanwhile, visual evaluation of the discrete type of the sequence indicated that the variation level of non-coding region was higher than that of coding region. Phylogenetic analyses suggested that A. caudigerum and A. cardiophyllum were clustered into a single clade and A. cardiophyllum, A. sieboldii var. seoulense, A. misandrum and A. maculatum were clustered into another single branch. These two clade were sister species. This study provides a scientific basis for the identification, phylogenetic relationship, molecular breeding of Asarum species.

Objective To explore the clinical application value of left atrial function with feature tracking cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (FT-CMR) by evaluating preliminarily left atrial strain and strain rate in patients with atrial fibrillation. Methods Thirty patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, thirty patients with persistent atrial fibrillation and twenty-two healthy subjects were enrolled. All the subjects underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with the real steady-state free precession(SSFP) sequence. FT-CMR parameters included left atrial strain and strain rate parameters, left atrial volume and function parameters were detected by using offline cardiovascular analysis software, respectively. Left atrial strain and strain rate parameters included left atrial total strain(Εs), passive strain(Εe), active strain(Εa), peak positive strain rate(SRs), peak early negative strain rate(SRe)and peak late negative strain rate(SRa). Volume and function parameters included maximum of left atrial volume(LAVmax), minimum of left atrial volume(LAVmin), total left atrial emptying fraction(LATEF), passive left atrial emptying fraction(LAPEF)and active left atrial emptying fraction(LAAEF). The differences in the general data among the paroxysmal atrial fibrillation group, the persistent atrial fibrillation group and the control group were compared by usingχ2 test or ANOVA analysis. The differences in all parameters between the atrial fibrillation group and the control group, the paroxysmal atrial fibrillation group and the persistent atrial fibrillation group were compared by using independent t test. Left atrial strain and strain rate parameters on an intra-observer and inter-observer were determined by intraclass correlation coefficient(ICC)analyses. Results Compared to control group, LAVmax and LAVmin in atrial fibrillation group were significantly increased(t=9.737,7.889,P<0.001);The LATEF and LAPEF had no significant difference, the LAAEF in two groups had statistically significant difference(t=-4.762,P<0.001).The absolute value of Es, Ee, Ea, SRs, SRe, SRa in atrial fibrillation group were significantly reduced than in control group(t=-7.732,-6.610,-6.493,-7.546, 6.864, 5.917,P<0.001). Compared with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation group, LAVmax and LAVmin in persistent atrial fibrillation group were increased obviously, LATEF and LAPEF were significantly decreased, and the differences were statistically significant(t=-4.575,-5.524, 4.002, 4.028,P<0.001).The LAAEF in two groups had no statistically significant difference. Compared with strain and strain rate in two groups, absolute value of Es, Ee, Ea, SRs, SRe, SRa in persistent atrial fibrillation group significantly decreased than in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation(t=4.310, 3.128, 4.465, 5.496,-3.290,-3.863,P<0.001). The intra-group and inter-group had well correlation coefficients between the observers in the left atrial strain and strain rate parameters of the subjects(ICC=0.85—0.94,0.81—0.90). Conclusions FT-CMR technique can be used to assess the left atrial strain and strain rate in patients with atrial fibrillation;Left atrial reservoir, conduit and booster-pump functions in patients with atrial fibrillation were impaired. Patients with persistent atrial fibrillation had worse left atrial function throughout the entire cardiac cycle compared with those with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
