Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) offer a non-selective and receptor-independent mode to promote cellular uptake. Although the non-specificity of CPP-mediated internalization allows this approach applicable to a wide range of tumor types potentially, their universality is a significant obstacle to their clinical utility for targeted delivery of cancer therapeutics and imaging agents. Accordingly, many reports have focused on selective switching of systemically delivered inert CPPs into their active form in lesions (tumor). In this review, our attention is mainly confined to such an enzyme-sensitive domain incorporated delivery system with activatable CPPs (ACPPs), which have displayed the exciting strength in balancing the CPPs' pros and cons, and potential in the treatment and diagnosis of some diseases.

Objective To analyse the distribution characteristics of major allergens initiating allergic diseases in children from rural Shanghai. Methods Eight hundred children with allergic diseases from rural Shanghai (rural ease group), 450 children with allergic diseases from urban Shanghai (urban ease group) and 100 healthy children from rural Shanghai (rural normal control group) underwent skin prick tests (SPT), and children of rural case group were subdivided into infant group, preschool age group and school age group according to age. The positive rates of allergens and SPT were compared among groups. Results The positive rate of SPT of rural case group was significantly higher than that of rural normal control group (73.38% vs 26.00%, P<0.05), and was significantly lower than that of urban ease group (73.38% vs 80.22%, P<0.05). Dermatophagoidesfarinae and Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus were the major allergens in rural ease group, with the positive rates of 57.88% and 59.13%, respectively. Except weed and rubber, there were significant differences in positive rates of the other allergens between rural ease group and the other two groups(P<0.05). There were significant differences in positive rates of SPT among different age groups of rural children with allergic diseases (P<0.05). Conclusion Dermatophagoides farinae and Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus are the major allergens in children with allergic diseases from rural Shanghai, whose positive rates of SPT are lower than those of children with allergic diseases from urban Shanghai. The positive rate of SPT is related to age to some extent.

BACKGROUND:Surface modification of orthopedic implants can reduce or prevent bacterial adhersion. Bacteriostatic and bactericidal ingredients released from special coating of metal surfaces prevent orthopedic surgery infection. OBJECTIVE:To prepare hydroxyapatite/nano-silver composite coating on the surface of medical titanium based on different preparation parameters and to observe the release properties of silver ions on the composite material surface in the simulated body fluid. METHODS:Using pulse electrochemical methods, hydroxyapatite and nano-silver were deposited in the solution containing silver, calcium and phosphate ions. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive spectroscopy were used to characterize its morphology and composition. The composite titanium materials containing 0.5, 1 mmol/L silver were immersed in the simulated body fluid, and Ag+concentration was detected by atomic absorption spectrometry at the different time points. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Nanoparticles were uniformly distributed in the coating which was interwoven with the nano needle-like hydroxypatite and dot-like silver particles. After high temperature processing, the coating became denser, and hydroxypatite became more crystal and silver particles exhibited no agglomeration. In the simulated body fluid, Ag+release was maximal at 1-7 days and became stable at 7-30 days which maintained an effective antimicrobial concentration. The material containing 0.5 mmol/L Ag+showed a lower amount of Ag+released than cytotoxic concentration at 30 days, but the material containing 1 mmol/L Ag+could release the total of Ag+close to the critical value of celltoxicity at 30 days. Above al , the material containing 0.5 mmol/L Ag+is more secure in the clinical application.

Objective:To construct a DNA vaccine co-expressing the HBV compound multi-epitope antigen gene, the hIL-12 and the anti-HBV siRNA genes, and to express this DNA vaccine in HepG2 cells. Methods:The HBV multi-epitope antigen gene was designed and synthesized before it was fused with enhanced green fluorescent protein(EGFP) gene, and cloned into the multi-clone site(MCS) of the eukaryotic expression vector pVAX1. The expressinig units of hIL-12 and siRNA were cloned into the BspH I and Mlu I site of pVAX1 respectively. Then the recombinant plasmid pVAX1-siHBV-HB-EGFP-hIL12 was transiently transfected HepG2 cells. The expression of HBV compound multi-epitope gene was observed through EGFP report gene. The expression of hIL-12 was analyzed by ELISA and the effects of anti-HBV siRNA was confirmed with rtPCR . Results: The analysis of enzyme digestion and sequencing both demonstrated that the trible-expressing HBV DNA vaccine has been constructed successfully. The green fluorescent image was detected in the transfected cells which could confirm the expression of the multi-epitope antigen gene. The amount of hIL-12 secretion was 1289pg/ml in supernatant at 48h after transfection and 1712pg/ml at 72h after transfection. The mRNA amount of HBV S gene, which was the siRNA target, had been obviously knockdown. Conclusion: The DNA vaccine co-expressing the HBV compound multi-epitope antigen gene, the hIL-12 and the siRNA genes was constructed and transiently expressed in HepG2 cells, and siRNA had shown us a good anti-HBV effect. It laid a foundation of further study on anti-HBV effect of the new DNA vaccine.
