Objective To prepare transferrin and Arg-Gly-Asp polypeptide co-modified nanoparticles(TF/RGD-NPs)and evaluate its targeting efficiency to melanoma.Methods The co-modified nanoparticles were prepared by emulsion method and its appearance,particle size and Zeta potential were evaluated.The cellular uptake experiment and melanoma tumor spheroids penetration test were used to evaluate the affinity and ability to penetrate tumor tissues of TF/RGD-NPs to melanoma B16 cells. Results The particle diameter of co-modified nanoparticles was(113.4 ±12.5)nm and the Zeta potential was(4.53 ±2.15)mV.In vitro uptake test demonstrated that the efficacy of cellular uptaken TF/RGD-NPs by B16 cells were 2.7 times and 2.9 times to TF-NPs and RGD-NPs,respectively,the differences were all significant(P<0.05 ).Tumor spheroid penetration test results showed that TF/RGD-NPs has good affinity to melanoma cells.Conclusion TF/RGD-NPs can target to melanoma B16 cell efficiency in vitro,it may be serve as a potential drug delivery system for targeting melanoma.

Objective To explore the effect of X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein(XIAP)combined with doxorubicin on the proliferation of MCF-7 cell and growth of MCF-7 bearing nude mice.Methods The anti-proliferation efficiency of doxorubicin and embelin were determined by MTT assay.MCF-7 cell apoptosis induced by embelin and doxorubicin were detected by Flow cytometry.Anti-tumor ability of embelin and doxorubicin were evalued with tumor spheroids test.MCF-7 cell were xenografted to mice to establish the animal model,which was used to evaluate the effect of anti-tumor. Results Compared with saline group,embelin group and doxorubicin group,the combination(doxorubicin +embelin)group inhibited the growth of MCF-7 cells effectively(P<0.01).The combination group induced the apoptosis of MCF-7 cells more effectively than doxorubicin alone(P<0.01), and significantly inhibit the growth of tumor in vitro and in vivo than other groups(P<0.01).Conclusion The combination of doxorubicin and embelin may be used as a potentially effective treatment method for breast cancer.

Objective To evaluate the effect of biofeedback therapy for the treatment of myogenic fecal incontinence. MethodsA general assessment about anorectal function was made on 17 cases receiving biofeedback therapy including muscle power training,sensory training and coordination training. Results The clinical scores before and after biofeedback therapy were 1.66?0.23,3.80?0.42 respectively,with an effective rate of 82%. The anus maximum contracting pressure elevated,(73?20) mm Hg vs. (123?30) mm Hg; myoelectric amplitude increased,(122?32) ?V vs. (230?41) ?V;Contracting time prolonged,(4.1?2.0) s vs. (9.4?3.0) s; The sensory threshold was lowered,(50?12) ml vs. ( 20? 10) ml;The feel-contract time increased,(3.1?0.4) s vs. (1.2?0.3) s. Positive rectal contraction reflex was seen in 41% patients before therapy compared with 82% after therapy. Conclusions Biofeedback therapy increases contractility of sphincter,decreases threshold of rectal sensory,and is a therapy of choice for myogenic fecal incontinence.

Objective To investigate factors related to alexithymia of patients with asthma.Methods 52 patients with asthma were assessed with TAS-26,POMS-SF and EPQ-RSC.Results Compared with normal model control , patients with asthma showed alexithymia(t=2.15～5.29,P＜0.05～0.01). There was negative correlation between the total score of TAS,Ⅰ,Ⅱ, Ⅲ , Ⅳ and E(r=-0.372～-0.451,P＜0.01), between Ⅲ and N (r=-0.37,P＜0.01).There was opposite correlation between the total score of TAS,Ⅰ, Ⅱand N (r=0.312～0.415,P＜0.01),and between Ⅱ, Ⅳ and P(r=0.531～0.621,P＜0.01). There was close relation between alexithymia and mood state. There was opposite correlation between the total score of TAS,Ⅰ,Ⅱ, Ⅳ and the total score of POMS, TA,DD,AH,FI , CB(r=0.449～0.779,P＜0.01). There was negative correlation between the total score of TAS,Ⅰ,Ⅱand VA (r=-0.418～-0.544,P＜0.05～0.01),and between Ⅳ and VA(r=-0.320,P＜0.05).Conclusion Patients with asthma have alexithymia.There was close relation between alexithymia,personality traits and mood state.
