Objective To evaluate the possibility and efficiency of nanoparticles as a new vector in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene transfection. Methods Nanoparticle-VEGF (Np/VEGF)complex was prepared with poly (D, L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) loading VEGF165 gene using the multiple emulsion (w/o/w) technique. The envelopment efficiency and size of the complex were determined. Rat myocardial cells were cultured in vitro, and the Np/VEGF was transfected into the cultured myocardial cells. Then RT-PCR and ELISA were used to evaluate whether the Np/VEGF increased the level of gene expression. Four New Zealand rabbits were used, the suspension of Np/VEGF was injected into myocardial tissue of rabbits after thoracotomy. 96h after the operation, the tissue sections of the implant sites were observed with transmission electron microscope (TEM) to determine the process of nanoparticles as vectors for gene transfer to cardiac myocytes. Results The envelopment efficiency and size of the Np/VEGF complex thus prepared were 1.87% and 25-300nm respectively. RT-PCR and ELISA showed that VEGF gene could be successfully transfected into myocardial cells by nanoparticle, and NP/VEGF significantly enhanced gene transfection efficiency, and it was more effective than plasmid. 96h after the operation, a great number of nanoparticles were observed in myocardial cytoplasm and nucleus with TEM, and many nanoparticles began to dissolve and degrade, suggesting that the DNA was released slowly from the nanoparticles localized in the cytoplasmic compartment, and was then transferred into the nucleus. Conclusions NP/VEGF can act as a vector to transfect VEGF gene in vitro and in vivo, it significantly enhanced gene transfection efficiency, and it was more effective than plasmid.

Objective To construct a recombinant interfering RNA(miRNA)plasmid vector targeting annexinA3 and observe its impact on the growth and apoptosis of human gallbladder cancer cell line SGC-996.Methods Four small fragments of miRNA and one negative control were sequenced and cloned into vector pcDNATM 6.2-GW/EmGFPmiR.The recombinant plasmids were then transfected into gallbladder cancer cell line SGC-996 by positive liposomal transfection.The transcription and translation level of annexinA3 expression were detected by RT-PCR and Western Blot.Meanwhile, the proliferation and apoptosis of transfected tumor cells were determined by MTT and flow cytometry.Results The recombinant plasmids containing annexinA3 miRNA were successfully constructed.AnnexinA3 expression was significantly knocked down after miRNA plasmid transfection.Transfection of annexinA3 gene miRNA could effectively inhibit the proliferation of gallbladder cancer cell and promote apoptosis.Conclusion AnnexinA3 gene silenced by miRNA can induce the apoptosis of human gallbladder cancer cell line SGC-996.The process might serve as a potential approach for cancer gene therapy.

Objective To study the value of B type ultrasonography guiding percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (PRFA) for hepatic cancer (HC). Methods 70 patients with primary or metastatic hepatic malignancies were treated by PRFA under ultrasound guidance through LeVeen multipolar array needle electrode and RF 2000. All patients were followed up by turnor marker, B type sounography and MRI monthly. Results PRFA were performed in 53 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and 17 cases with metastatic liver cancer. Liver function classfication was 53 cases in Child class A, 15 in class B and 2 in class C. In 21 patients with non-operated small HCC (≤5 cm), 12 of 17 patients with AFP positive were decreased to normal (70.6%) and decreased markedly in 4 (23.5%), and MRI showed the treated tumors were completely necrosis in 16 patients (76.2%). The 3, 6 month survival rates were 90.5%, 100% respectively in small HC groups, and 66.7% to 72.7% and 27.6% to 72.7% in large HC groups.Conclusions PRFA as a local thermal therapy is becoming a kind of new palliative treatment for hepatic malignancies, which not only is safe, minimally invasive, and effective for small ones; but also can be used with combination of TACE for larger ones.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the regularity and characteristics of anaphylactoid reactions induced by Magnesium iso-glycyrrhizinate injection,and provide reference for clinical rational drug use. METHODS:27 ADR reports induced by Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate injection from Hunan Center for ADR Monitoring from Jan. 2014 to Mar. 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. RE-SULTS:In the 27 cases,15 were male (55.56%) and 12 were female (44.44%),with percentage of 1.25∶1;ADR mainly oc-curred in patients with 41-60 years old(51.85%);involved organ/system were mainly skin and its appendages(35.85%)and sys-temic damage(26.42%),the main clinical manifestations were rash,itching,fever,chills,vomiting and dizziness;there were 7 severe ADR reports(25.92%),mainly showed chills,fever and other systemic symptoms;most ADR can be cured(40.74%)or relieved(55.56%)by related processing. CONCLUSIONS:There are no risk tips for severe allergic reactions in instruction,it is necessary to strengthen post-marketing surveillance and further improve the drug instructions to reduce the risk of severe ADR in-duced by Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate injection.

Objective To investigate the expression of hypoxia-inducible 1 alpha(HIF-lα)and glucose transporter 1(Glut1)in human breast cancer and its relationship to proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)protein and clinical pathologic factors.Methods Immunohistochemical staining was used to measure the expression of HIF-lα.Glut1 and PCNA in human breast fibroadenoma,usual hyperplasia and breast carcinoma.Results HIF-1α expression was not found in breast fibroadenoma and hyperplastic Iesions.In contrast.the positive rate of HIF-1α was found in the ductal carcinoma in situ 55%(DCIS,11/20)and the invasive breast carcinoma 85%(51/60).Glut1 positivity in breast carcinoma was 58.8%(47/80).The totsl positive rate of PCNA in breast carcinoma was 75%(60/80),that in DCIS was 65%(13/20)and that in invasive carcinoma was 78.3%(47/60).There was a positive correlation between HIF-lα and Glut 1 level (r=0.653,P<0.01),a positive correlation between HIF-1α and PCNA level(r=0.693,P<0.01);and also a positive correlation between Glutl and PCNA level(t=0.742.P<0.01).conclusion The overexpression of HIF-lα and its target gene Glut1 played important roles in carcinogenesis and progression of breast carcinoma and closely correlated with cell proliferation of breast carcinoma and may become a new target for treatment of breast carcinoma.
