This paper is to prepare curcumin (Cur) loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticle (Cur-MSN), evaluate its release behavior and anti-cancer activity in vitro. Mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN) was prepared by polymerization method and Cur-MSN was obtained using solvent evaporation method and impregnation centrifugation method. The preparation method was optimized using entrapment efficiency (EE) and loading efficiency (LE) as indexes. Cur-MSN was characterized with scanning electron microscope and its particle size and zeta potential were determined. Finally, in vitro release behavior in 0.2% SDS solution and its cell-killing effect on HeLa cells were also evaluated. The Cur-MSN prepared with process optimization method was round and uniform and exhibited typical mesoporous characterization. The mean particle size and Zeta potential of Cur-MSN were 75.8 nm and -30.1 mV, respectively. EE and LE of three batches of Cur-MSN were (72.55 ± 2.01)% and (16.21 ± 1.12)%, respectively. In vitro release behavior of Cur-MSN showed a sustained release profile with 83.5% cumulative release within 96 h. The killing effect of Cur-MSN on HeLa cells was dose-dependent with IC50 of 19.40 mg x L(-1), which was similar to that of Cur.

Objective To establish a HPLC method for the determination of kaempferol-7-O-?-D-glucopyranoside in Hosta ventricosa stearn.Methods HPLC ana1ysis was carried out on a Phenomenex Luna C18(250 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m) column,gradient elution with the mobile phase of 0.5 % phosphate acid in water-methanol.The detective wavelength was set at 364 nm.Results calibration curve was linear within the range of 0.113 ～ 2.260 ?g for kaempferol-7-O-?-D-glucopyranoside,coefficient correlation being 1.The average recovery was 101.1 %(RSD= 2.58 %,n=6).Conclusion The content of kaempferol-7-O-?-D-glucopyranoside in Hosta ventricosa stearn is 0.2 mg/g(0.02 %) on average.This method is simple,accurate and practical for the determination of kaempferol-7O-?-D-glucopyranoside.

Objective To compare the diagnostic values of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-single photon emission computed tomography (18F-FDG-SPECT) and helical CT in the detection of the metastasis of postoperative breast cancer.Methods A total of 94 patients with postoperative breast cancer were chosen as research objects.The follow-up duration of post-operation was 2 years.All patients were received by 18F-FDG-SPECT and helical CT during follow-up.Lymph nodes that were suspected to the postoperative metastasis were taken for histological procedure.The diagnostic values of 18F-FDG-SPECT and helical CT to the metastasis of postoperative breast cancer were compared.Results Compared to helical CT,the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value,and positive likelihood ratio of 18F-FDG-SPECT were higher (P ＜ 0.05);however,the negative likelihood ratio of 1s F-FDG-SPECT were lower (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions 18F-FDG-SPECT has more important clinical value in the detection of metastasis of postoperative breast cancer relative to helical CT.

Objective To investigate the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and p53 protein in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and their relationship with angiogenesis. Methods Immunohistochemical method and image analysis technique were used to detect the expression of iNOS and p53 protein in tumor tissue sections of 59 HCC patients. Microvessel density (MVD) was counted by immunohistochemical staining with anti CD34 antibody.Results ①The expression rates of iNOS and p53 were 81.4%(48/59), 64.4%(38/59) in HCC patients, respectively. The expression intensities of iNOS and p53 were 5 635?1 287, 3 352?873 in HCC patients, respectively. ②MVD was 32.5?2.73 in the tumor tissue of HCC patients. ③The expression of iNOS was correlated with the expression of p53 and MVD in HCC patients ( P

Objective To analyze the cause of delayed hemorrhage after minimally invasive percu- taneous nephrolithotomy(MPCNL),and to summarize the experience in the interventional treatment of severe bleeding after MPCNL by superselective arteriolar embolization.Methods The clinical data of 3812 cases of MPCNL from June 1998 to July 2004 were reviewed.Of them,12 patients(11 men and 1 woman;mean age,45 years)who developed severe hemorrhage after MPCNL were identified.The cause of hemorrhage and the treatment results were analyzed.Results The rate of delayed hemorrhage after MPCNL was 0.31% (12/3812).The mean time to onset of severe bleeding was 10 d after MPCNL.Renal arteriography was per- formed in all 12 patients,showing 5 arteriovenous fistulas and 7 false aneurysms.Superselective arteriolar em- bolization for hemostasis was performed in all 12 cases.All these vascular abnormalities were successfully treated by superselective embolization.Follow-up showed that the hematuria disappeared and renal function recovered well.Conclusions Severe hemorrhage following MPCNL is a rare complication,the incidence of which is significantly lower than that of conventional PCNL.The cause is mainly the arteriolar injury of re- nal puncture passage.Superselective embolization provides effective control of bleeding and currently consti- tutes the treatment of choice based on our experience.

Objective: To observe the effect of cilostazol on the ion channel of right ventricular cells in experimental rats, and to explore the ion channel mechanism of ciolstazol for preventing the ventricular arrhythmia in Brugada syndrome.
Methods: Our research was composed of 2 groups: ①Perfusion group, the cells were treated in 4 sub-groups by cilostazole at 1, 2, 5, 50μmol/L respectively, and there were 9, 5, 3, 7 cells were recorded at each sub-group to observe the differences of current density Ito at before and after treatment. ②Oral group, which included 4 sub-groups:Control 1 with 7 rats, Experiment 1 with 5 rats, and Control 2 with 8 rats, Experiment 2 with 6 rats respectively. The differences of current density Ito and ICa,L were studied between each Control and Experiment sub-groups.
Results: In Perfusion group,①with cilostazole 1, 2, 5, 50μmol/L treatment, the current density Ito decreased in all sub-groups, when the self-command voltage at+60mV, the Ito was signiifcantly different in each sub-group at before and after treatment, all P<0.05.②When each command voltage decreasing, the reduction rates of Ito were similar among 4 sub-groups, all P>0.05. In Oral group,①When the self-command voltage from-50mV reached the maximum of+60mV, the Ito was similar between Control 1 and Experiment 1 sub-groups, P>0.05.②When the self-command voltage at+10mV, the current density of ICa,L was slightly higher in Control 2 sub-group than that in Experiment 2 sub-group, P>0.05.
Conclusion: Direct perfusion of cilostazole in right ventricular cells may inhibit Ito in experimental rats, such effect was similar with cilostazole treatment at (1-50)μmol/L. Cilostazole might prevent the ventricular arrhythmia in Brugada syndrome in experimental rats.

Objective To explore the improvement effect of SLOT Scan technology (narrow seam exposure capture technology) and the radiography techniques on the quality of the scoliosis X-ray films in teenagers. Methods The Sonialvision Satire Ⅱ equipment of Shimadzu corporation and SLOT Scan were applied to take the radiography for 60 patients taller than 1.50 metres. All the data were collected through a continual exposure, and the images were sewn up through a seamless connec-tion software. Results Cervical, thoracic, and lumbar and sacral segments could clearly present at the same time on one X-ray film by seamless splicing, and the quality of one time radiograph was as good as one film. Conclusion As a new radiology technique, SLOT Scan can wipe off splitting arti-fact effectively and make the whole spine seamless present on one X-ray film. It helps the spinal sur-geons to observe, calculate and measure accurately. It is useful to choose the operation mode and judge the curative effect.
