Objective To investigate the changes and possible mechanisms of the expressions of metabolic pattern glutamic acid receptor 1(mGluR1) and mGluR3 in hippocampus of juvenile rats submitted to lithium chloride-pilocarpine induced model of epilepsy in 6 h,5 d,60 d after status epilepticus(SE) onset.Methods Seizures were induced in the juvenile rats with lithium and pilocarpine injected intraperito-neally,and behavioral changes and EEG were observed.Eighteen SD juvenile rats with SE were randomly divided into following groups: groupⅠ,in which the rats were killed at 6 h after SE onset(6 h SE),group Ⅱ,in which the animals were killed during the seizure-free period(5 days after SE onset),and group Ⅲ,in which the animals were killed in 60 days after SE induction(period of spontaneous recurrent seizures).And intraperitoneal injection of saline water control groups were divided into: groupⅠa,group Ⅱa and group Ⅲa.The hippocampus tissues after the rats were put to death were collected,the expressions of mGluR1 and mGluR3 mRNA were detected by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) in the hippocampus of juvenile rats.Results EEG of rats in group Ⅰ were abnormal,but normal in groupⅡ,and 5(83%) cases of the juvenile rats in group Ⅲ manifested dissemination of sharp waves,spikes or spike wave.The saline control group did not spontaneously attack.There was more significant upregulation of mGluR1 mRNA expression(Pa0.05).The expressional levels of mGluR3 mRNA were upregulated in groupⅠ,group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ(Pa

In recent years,targeted drug delivery system as one of the hottest areas in pharmaceutical research has received more and more attention.However,the targeted anti-tumor drug delivery system has many shortcomings including low targeted efficiency which limit its clinical application.Elevating tumor targeting efficiency has become the bottleneck of nano-drug development and clinical application.Therefore,it is urgent to design and develop novel targeted drug delivery vehicle.Recent studies showed that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have characters of tumor tropism and migration,which make them as ideal targeted anti-tumor drug delivery carriers for the treatment of solid and metastatic tumors.This paper reviews the progress in using MSCs as targeted anti-tumor drug delivery carrier,recapitulates the problems and challenges of the system,and proposes a solution for these problems.

Objective To explore the expression level and clinical significance of serum interleukin-2 (IL-2),IL-4,IL-6,IL-10,interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in patients with chronic periodontitis and chronic periodontitis complicated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods From August 2015-August 2016,31 COPD patients combined with chronic periodontitis were set as group A,31 patients with chronic periodontitis were set as group B,and another 31 healthy subjects were selected as the control group in Chaoyang Hospital.Each group extracted fasting venous blood 4 ml,serum inflammatory factors levels (IL-2,IL-4,IL-6,IL-10,IFN-γ and TNF-α) were measured by cytometric bead array (CBA),periodontal condition [plaque index (PLI),clinical attachment loss (CAL),probing depth (PD),bleeding index (BI)] and lung function index [first 1 s forced expiratory volume％ of predicted value (FEV1％),first 1 s forced expiratory volume occupies the percentage of vital capacity (FEV1/FVC)] were compared.Results The PLI,CAL,PD and BI levels in group B were higher than those in control group,indicators of group A were higher than group B,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in FEV1 ％ and FEV1/FVC between group B and control group,indicators of group A were less than group B and control group,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).The serum levels of IL-4,IL-6,IFN-γ and TNF-α in group B were higher than those in control group,indicators of group A were significantly higher than group B,the levels of IL-2 and IL-10 in group B were significantly lower than those in control group,indicators of group A were significantly less than group B (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Periodontal status and lung function of chronic periodontitis and chronic periodontitis with COPD patients is not good,the serum levels of IL-4,IL-6,IFN-γ,and TNF-α were increased,and the serum levels of IL-2 and IL-10 were decreased,which might be important risk factors for chronic periodontitis and COPD happen and progress.Therefore,treatment regimen can be adjusted by detecting the levels of above indicators.

Objective To observe the expression of Na+/I- symporter(NIS) in cultured lactating mammary cells with different levels of iodine and the effect of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α). Methods Original generation of mouse lactating mammary cells cultured in vitro were divided into low iodine group Ⅰ (LI-Ⅰ), low iodine group Ⅱ (LI-Ⅱ), adequate iodine group(AI), high iodine group Ⅰ(HI-Ⅰ), and high iodine group Ⅱ(HI-Ⅱ). Cells were cultured in DEME/F12 culture medium for 24 h with different concentrations of iodine (0,5,50,3000 and 10 000 μg/L, respectively), and TNF-α( 10-2 mg/L) was added to some of cultured cells for 24 h. The expression of NIS mRNA of lactating mammary cells was determined by real-time quantitative PCR and the expression of NIS protein was detected by In-Cell Western. Results In iodine alone group, the expression of NIS mRNA in LI-Ⅰ group [ (64.66 ± 14.99) x 10-4] was higher than that of AI group[ (22.76 ± 7.36) × 10-4, P ＜ 0.01 ]; HI-I group[ (10.18 ±3.53) × 10-4] and HI-Ⅱ group[ (8.59 ± 2.89) × 10-4] were lower than that of AI group(all P ＜ .0.05); With increased iodine concentration, the expression of NIS mRNA decreased. The expression of NIS mRNA in LI-Ⅰ group [(2.72 ± 0.45) × 10-4], LI-Ⅱ group[ (2.69 ± 0.68) × 10-4] and AI group[(1.80 ± 0.67) × 10-4] with iodine plus TNF-o were all lower than that of LI-Ⅰ group, LI-Ⅱ group[ (29.82 ± 4.47 ) × 10-4], and AI group without TNF-α (all P ＜ 0.01). In iodine plus TNF-α, the expression of NIS mRNA in HI-Ⅰ group[(6.58 ± 2.87) × 10-4] and HI-Ⅱ[(7.04 ± 1.36) × 10-4] group were all higher than that of AI group(all P ＜ 0.05); With increased iodine deficiency or iodine excess, the expression of NIS mRNA increased. With increased iodine concentration, the expression of NIS protein decreased in iodine alone group. The expression of NIS protein in iodine plus TNF-α was all lower than that in iodine alone group. In iodine plus TNF-α, the expression of NIS protein increased in both iodine deficiency and iodine excess conditions. Conclusions Iodine may decrease the expression of NIS mRNA and protein of lactating mammary cells. The expression of NIS mRNA and protein of lactating mammary cells was inhibited by TNF-α under different levels of iodine.

ObjectiveTo study the morphological and functional changes of thyroid in lactating rats and their offspring in iodine deficiency and iodine excess animal models.MethodsOne hundred and twenty Wistar rats(30 males and 90 females) were selected.Based on their body weight,the 90 females were stratified and randomly divided into five groups( 18 in each group):low iodine group 1 and group 2(fed with low iodine feed and deionized water containing iodine of 0,5 μg/L) ; high iodine group 1,group 2 and control group(feed with normal diet and deionized water containing iodine of 3000,10 000,50 μg/L).After fed for 3 month,all female rats were mated with males in a ratio of 3 ∶ 1.After birth for 10 days,8 female rats and their offspring in each group were sacrificed.Changes of thyroid were observed by naked eyes.The thyroid weight was measured and pathological changes of thyroids were observed under light microscope.Results①Absolute and relative weight of lactating rats thyroid in low iodine group 1 and group 2 [ (92.02 ± 24.40 ),(77.11 ± 23.32 )mg,(0.509 ± 0.072),(0.384 ± 0.089) mg/kg] were much higher than that of control group[ (17.41 ± 9.25)mg,(0.102 ± 0.016)mg/kg,all P＜ 0.05].Absolute and relative weight of lactating rats thyroid in high iodine group 1 and group 2[(8.22 ± 0.41 ),(9.42 ±0.43)mg,(0.047 ± 0.006),(0.035 ± 0.005)mg/kg] were lower than that of control group(all P ＜ 0.05).Absolute and relative weight of lactating rats and their offspring thyroid was decreased with increase of iodide intake in the diet.②Thyroid enlargement of lactating rats in low iodine group 1 and group 2 was evident,but that of high iodine group 1 and group 2 was not.③Epithelial cell hyperplasia and smaller follicular cavity were observed in low iodine group 1 and group 2 under light microscope.Epithelial cell deformation and mostly flat were observed in high iodine group 1 and group 2.ConclusionsThyroid morphology is changed with iodide intake in the lactating rats and their offspring,and the changes are consistent between female rats and their newborns.

Objective: To study the effects of fortified conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) milk on body fat and plasma lipids in mice.Method:Forty male Kunming mice of 4 w old were randomly divided into four groups and fed diet and milk supplemented with 0%,0.1%,0.5%,1.0% CLA (percent of diet, dry mass) respectively for 4 w.Weight gain,body fat,intra-abdominal fat,feed conversion efficiency and plasma TG, TC, HDL , LPL were measured.Results:At the end of the experiment, all these physiological indices were decreased with increasing CLA in the milk and were lower significantly than that of control group when supplemented with 0.5% CLA in milk. TG , TC and (TC- HDL) / HDL were decreased, but HDL and LPL were increased with increasing CLA amount in the milk. TG,HDL,LPL and (TC- HDL)/ HDL were best when fed the milk supplemented with 1.0% CLA,while TC was the lowest when fed the milk supplemented with 0.5% CLA . Conclusion:The fortified conjugated linoleic acid is effective in lowering body fat and blood lipids.
