International Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2014;37(3):151-155,封3
Objective To prepare and characterize nanoparticles in-loaded one-way release-controlled chitosan membrane,and to explore the release-controlled rule of the film in vitro.Methods The chitosan nanoparticles were prepared by inverse crosslinking-emulsion method.The one-way release-controlled membrane was prepared by a casting method.Transmission electron microscope (TEM) was used to evaluate the morphological properties and particle size analyzer was used to analyze particle size distribution.The morphology of the membrane was inspected through scanning electron microscope (SEM).MTT assay was applied to determine the biological safety of chitosan nanoparticles.The distribution of the nanoparticles was observed by fluorescence microscope.The in vitro release studies were adopted to evaluate the release-controlled rule.Results The four kinds of nanoparticles had spherical shapes and uniform particle size.The size of the hyaluronic acid-coated chitosan nanoparticle was (255.40±39.10) nm.Hyaluronic acid-coated chitosan nanoparticles showed the best property of sustained release and biocompatibility.The membrane had a loose inner layer and a dense outer layer,and the distribution of the nanoparticles was uniform in the inner layer of the membrane.The release of protein from membrane was unidirectional and the membrane displayed good controlled release property.Conclusions The nanoparticles in-loaded one-way release-controlled chitosan membrane presents good one-way sustained release performance.It is potentially useful in delivery system of growth factors.

Objective To studythe efficacy of levosimendan in treating refractory heart failure complicating severe renal in sufficiency.Methods Sixty-seven cases of refractory heart failure complicating severe renal insufficiency in the internal medicine department of our hospital were randomly divided into the levosimendan treatment group(L group,n=33)and dopamine treatment group(D group,n=34).The changes of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide(NT-pro-BNP),left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)and glomerular filtration rate(GFR)before treatment and on 1,3,7,30 d after treatment were compared between the two groups and analyzed.Results Before the treatment,there were no statistically significant differences in the baseline indicators between the two groups(P>0.05).The group L:the NT-pro-BNP level on 1,3,7 d after treatment was decreased significantly(P< 0.05),LVEF on 3,7 d was significantly increased compared with th baseline(P<0.05)and GFR on 1,3,7,30 d was significantly increased compared with the baseline(P<0.05).The group D:the NT-pro-BNP level on 7 d of treatment was significantly decreased(P<0.05),LVEF on 7 d of treatment was significantly increased compared with the baseline(P<0.05),and no statistically significant changes were observed in GFR on 1,3,7,30 d(P>0.05).After treatment,NT-pro-BNP,LVEF and GFR significant level values in the group L were better than those in the group D.Conclusion Levosimendan is superior to dopamine in improving heart and renal function for the patients with refractory heart failure complicating severe renal insufficiency.

Objective To investigate the regulation effect of promoter methylation of deathassociated protein kinase (DAPK) on mRNA and protein expression of DAPK in tissue of primary gastric cancer (GC). Methods The cancerous and noncancerous samples from 62 patients with GC were determined by RT-PCR for mRNA expression of DAPK. The DAPK promoter methylation was detected by methylation-specific PCR. The protein expression of DAPK in 34 patients with methylation was determined by Western blot. Results mRNA and protein expre.ssions of DAPK in cancerous tissues were reduced significantly compared to noncancerous tissues (0. 2863d±0. 2027 vs 0. 57364±0. 1968,0. 2616±0. 0913 vs 0. 65294±0. 1808, P<0.01). Methylation frequency of DAPK in cancerous tissues was higher than that in noncancerous tissues (54.8% vs 17.7%, P<0.01). Furthermore, DAPK mRNA expression was decreased in methylation group compared to unmethylation group (0.1399±0. 0835 vs 0. 46404±0. 1569, P<0. 01). Moreover, a significant correlation was demonstrated between the TNM stage and DAPK promoter methylation (P = 0. 04). Conclusion Expression of DAPK is down-regulated in cancerous tissues at mRNA and protein levels. Low expression of DAPK is associated with hypermethylation of the promoter of DAPK gene.

Objective To prepare three kinds of biodegradable film materials used for protein drug carrier,and compare their degradation and drug release behavior.Methods Three different biodegradable and controlled release films,gelatin,chitosan oligosaccharides and crosslinked chitosan oligosaccharides films were prepared.Protein release behavior was determined by the Bradford.At the same time,degradation rate and swelling rate were tested,and the biocompatibility of film was investigated by MTT assay.Results The release time of crosslinked chitosan oligosaccharides film was 168 h,which was longer than that of chitosan oligosaccharides film,and different in different solution.The degradation rate and the swelling rate of crosslinked chitosan oligosaccharides was 60% (360 h) and 110.45%,respectively,while the chitosan oligosaccharides membrane was 80% (360 h) and 113.03%.The MTI assay revealed that the crosslinked chitosan oligosaccharides film had better biocompatibility.Conclusions By comparing different properties,the crosslinked chitosan oligosaccharides film is the best choice for protein drug carrier.
