Objective To evaluate the effect of a biodegradable paclitaxel-eluting biliary stent on bile duct scar formation and biliary stricture by observing the healing process after stent placement in a porcine billiary model.Methods A novel biodegradable paclitaxel-eluting biliary polylactide stent was manufactured by immersion method.The efficacy of drug release for paclitaxel-eluting biliary stent was investigated by HPLC.Paclitaxel-eluting stent were surgically inserted in the bile duct of fifteen swines in experimental group while stent without paclitaxel were placed in other fifteen swines in control group.Animals were sacrificed after 1,3,6 months.The anastomic healing of the common bile duct was observed.The size of anastomosis was measured and compared between the two groups.Result A novel biodegradable paclitaxel-eluting biliary stent was manufactured.The total amount of paclitaxel released was about 281 pg (30.4％) over a month as determined with HPLC methods.There was no death,no leakage.The diameter of anastomosis in the experimental group was significantly larger than that in control group.Cholangiography did not show obvious bile duct dilatation in experimental group.Histologic examination showed less hyperplasia of the bile duct wall in the experimental group than that in control group.Conclusion Release of paclitaxel via a biodegradable stent relieves billiary stricture in porcine model and have no obvious negative influence on wound healing of the common bile duct.

BACKGROUND: Polymer micelles is a new type of drug carriers developed in recent years,with a wide range of carrying drugs,structural stability,excellent tissue permeability,long residence of drugs in vivo,and effective reaching the target.The performances of intelligent targeting and decreasing the initial burst release have become the focus of recent researches.OBJECTIVE: To obtain an intelligent targeting drug carrier of low critical solution temperature(LCST)at 40℃,to change drug release behavior through the changes of temperature,and to further improve the stability and drug release behavior of the micelles by core-crosslinking.METHODS: By radical polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide(NIPAAm)and N,N-dimethylacrylamide(DMAAm),hydroxyl terminated poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-N,N-dimethyl acrylamide)[P(NIPAAm-co-DMAAm)]was synthesized.Molecular weight and LCST of P(NIPAAm-co-DMAAm)were regulated by adjusting the mercaptoethanol and monomer ratio,as well as the ratio of NIPAAm and DMAAm,Amphiphilic block copolymer P(NIPAAm-CO-DMAAm)-b-PCL was prepared via bulk ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone by using the end hydroxyl group of P(NIPAAm-co-DMAAm)as initiator and stannous octoate as catalyst.The block copolymer reacted with acryloyl chloride to obtain amphiphilic block copolymers with unsaturated double bonds at the terminal.Drug loaded nano-micelles with different nuclear cross-linked degrees were prepared by dialysis method,and its release behavior was investigated.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Amphiphilic block copolymers,with the LCST of 42℃,were obtained with hydroxyl or acryloyl endgroup.By blending them at different ratios,thermo-sensitive drug-loaded nano-micelles with different core-cresslinking degrees were prepared.The drug release rate was faster at 43℃ than at 37℃.With the core-crosslinking degrees increasing,the release of paclitaxel gradually slowed.The results suggest that the drug release rate from micelles prepared from thermo-sensitive P(NIPAAm-co-DMAAm)-b-PCL can be regulated by the degree of cross-linking.

A bacterial strain which could grow well on the substrate of PAEs as the sole source of carbon and energy was isolated from contaminated sludge in the river of WeiFang in ShangDong province and it was designated as JDC-3. Based on the morphology,biophysical and biochemical properties as well as molecular characteristics,this isolate was preliminarily identified as Delftia sp.. A fragment of phthalate dioxygenase gene was successfully amplified from the genus of Delftia for the first time using a set of degenerate primers. Meanwhile,the degradation capability of JDC-3 was determined by HPLC using DMP as test substrate. The results showed that the optimal pH and temperature were at 7.0～8.0 and 30?C～35?C respectively. The degradation kinetics of JDC-3 was studied in different initial DMP concentration under optimal conditions. The results indicated that the degradation dynamic equation was ln C =-0.06837 t + A when DMP concentration was lower than 300 mg/L,with half life of 12.48 h. The degradation rate decreased and half life of JDC-3 prolonged as the initial concentration kept on increasing.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of posterior pedicle screw internal fixation in the treatment of multiple level noncontiguous thoracolumbar fractures.Methods Thirteen patients with multiple level noncontiguous thoracolumbar fractures were treated by posterior pedicle screw internal fixation.The Frankel score,percentage of vertebral compression and Cobb angle of the injured vertebral segment were analyzed to evaluate the surgery efficacy.Results All patients were followed up from 12 to 24 months ( averaged 15 months ).All cases achieved bone fusion with no implant failure.The Cobb angle of the injured vertebral segment was corrected from preoperative(22.2 ±5.3) degree to postoperative(5.3 ±3.5) degree and(6.2 ±3.6) degree at the last follow up.The percentage of vertebral compression was corrected from preoperative (45.7 ± 14.1 )％ to postoperative ( 6.1 ± 3.8 ) ％ and ( 7.2 ± 3.9 ) ％ at the last follow up.All improvements showed significant differences when compared statistically( t =15.03,t =12.05,Ps ＜0.05 ).The spinal cord function was improved 1 to 2 degree in all patients except 2 patients of grade A.Conclusion The posterior fixation with pedicle screw is a secure,safe and effective method in treating multiple level noncontiguous thoracolumbar fracture.
