Objective: To study relationship among ambulatory pulse pressure (PP), pulse pressure index (PPI) and carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) in aged patients with hypertension. Methods: The 24h ambulatory blood pressures of 159 subjects were measured, and their ambulatory PP [(mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) - mean diastolic blood pressure (DBP)] and ambulatory PPI (ambulatory PP/mean SBP) were calculated. Color Doppler ultrasonography was used to measure carotid IMT. Relationship between ambulatory PPI and carotid IMT was analyzed. Results: Pearson correlation analysis indicated that carotid IMT was correlated with age (r=0.353), mean SBP (r=0.594), mean DBP (r=-0.355), ambulatory PP (r=0.855) and ambulatory PPI (r=0.883), P<0.001 all. Multivariant gradual regressive analysis indicated that carotid IMT possessed significant linear correlation with ambulatory PP and ambulatory PPI (R2=0.789), and standardized regression coefficient β of ambulatory PPI (β=0.621) was higher than that of ambulatory PP (β=0.284). Conclusion: Ambulatory pulse pressure index and ambulatory pulse pressure are good indicators for evaluation of carotid arteriosclerosis, and value of ambulatory pulse pressure index is more than.

In this paper, the situation on antisense oligonucleotide as a means of gene therapy was outlined, and the main factors impeding its progress at present was summarized. The one of main factors is the efficiency of antisense oligonucleotide as a drug and the other is the side-effect in clinical use. At the level of cell and gene, these influential factors were analyzed in detail. The main factor that makes side-effect in using antisense oligonucleotide is the difficulty to distinguish effectively homologous-gene from target gene. The another factor is the secondary structure and three-dimensional structure of target gene that seriously affect antisense oligonucleotide to arrive at target position. The third problem is what can affect antisense oligonucleotide transmission and quick annealing. How use computer technique to analyze fully the target gene of antisense oligonucleotide including the secondary structure and homology of target gene, and to design effective antisense oligonucleotide, in order to reduce its side-effect in clinical use of antisense oligonucleotide as a drug of gene therapy, and the computer-aid design method were described.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly contagious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). More than one-third of patients with COVID-19 experience neurological symptoms, including confusion, headaches, and decreased/disordered taste. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a slowly progressive neurodegenerative disease and the most common type of dementia. Alzheimer's disease patients are at high risk and susceptible to infection with COVID-19, which may cause severe illness and even death. There appears to be an interaction between AD and COVID-19, and on the one hand, patients with COVID-19 seem to be more likely to develop AD. AD patients, on the other hand, may be more susceptible to severe COVID-19. Therefore, understanding the common link between COVID-19 and AD may help to develop treatment strategies. Risk factors common to AD and COVID-19 are aging, ApoE ε4 allele, β-amyloid (Aβ) deposition, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), neuroinflammation, oxidative stress. Here, this article focuses on the relationship between COVID-19 and AD, explores common risk factors and potential pathogenesis, and provides help for early prevention, treatment and recovery.

The core-crosslinked polymeric micelles were used as a new drug delivery system, which can decrease the premature drug release in blood circulation, improve the stability of the micelles, and effectively transport the drug into the therapy sites. Then the drug bioavailability increased further, while the side effect reduced. Most drugs were physically entrapped or chemically covalent with the polymer in the internals of micelles. Based on the various constitutions and properties of polymeric micelles as well as the special characteristics of body microenvironment, the environment-responsive or active targeting core-crosslinked micelles were designed and prepared. As a result, the drug controlled release behavior was obtained. In the present paper, the research progress of all kinds of core-crosslinked micelles which were published in recent years is introduced. Moreover, the characteristic and application prospect of these micelles in drug delivery system are analyzed and summarized.

Objective To evaluate the effect of propofol on interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-induced increase in monolayer permeability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).Methods Primary HUVECs were cultured and purified by immuno-magnetic separation.The expression of VE-cadherin in endothelial cells was determined by immunofluorescence.The HUVEC monolayer permeability was detected by the Transwell system.The cells were seeded on the upper chamber (2 × 105 cells/well) and cultured for 3 days after confluence.The cells were treated in two ways.The cells were randomly divided into 6 groups (n =36 each) and 5 of the 6 groups treated with 1,2,5,10 and 20 ng/ml IL-1β for 24 h except for control group.The cells were also randomly divided into 5 groups (n =30 each) and 4 of the 5 groups were pretreated with 0,10,50 and 100 μmol/L propofol for 30 min,and then treated with 10 ng/ml IL-1β for 24 h except for control group.The cells were radomly divided into 3 groups (n =18 each) and 2 of the 3 groups were pretreated with 50 μmol/L propofol for 30 min,and then treated with 10 ng/ml IL-1β for 24 h or 30 min.The expression of occludin protien,p38 mitogen activiated protienkinase (p38 MAPK) and phosphorylated p38 MAPK (p-p38 MAPK) was determined by Western blot.Results Compared with control group,5,10 and 20 ng/ml IL-1β significantly increased HUVEC monolayer permeability in a concentration-dependent manner (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01).10,50 and 100 μmol/L propofol inhibited IL-1 β-induced increase in the permeability of HUVEC monolayer permeability in a concentration-dependent manner (P ＜ 0.01).IL-1β could down-regulate HUVEC occludin protein expression,and activate p38MAPK signaling pathway,and propofol inhibited IL-1β-induced down-regulation of HUVEC occludin protein expression and activation of p38 MAPK signaling pathway (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Propofol can alleviate IL-1β-induced increase in the permeability of HUVEC monolayer via inhibiting activation of p38 MAPK signaling pathway.
