Chelating ligand method has been used to synthesize baicalin-metal (Ni2+, Co2+, Cu2+) complexes (BMC). The composition and structure of BMC were characterized by the element analysis, ultraviolet spectrum (UV), infrared spectrum (IR), mass (MS) and thermal gravitational analysis (TGA). MTT was used to analyze the effects of BMC on SMMC-7721 cell proliferation. PI staining method and Annexin-V/FITC double staining method were used to analyze the effects of BMC on the cell cycle and apoptosis of SMMC-7721 cell. Fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR was used to analyze the expression of BMC on Bcl-2 gene and Bax mRNA, flow cytometry was used to analyze BMC on the expression of Bcl-2 protein and Bax protein. The antineoplastic activity and mechanism of action of BMC was explored comprehensively. The results showed that three new kinds of BMC (molar ratio of 2 : 1) were successfully prepared, the complexes molecular formula are: Na2Ni(C21H16O11)2 x 10H2O, Na2Co(C21H16O11)2 x 8H2O and Na2Cu(C21H16O11)2 x 8H2O. According to the results of cell cycle and apoptosis detection, BMC stopped cells at G0/G1 phase to S phase and G2/M phase. Gene and protein detection showed that under the given concentration and time, BMC can downregulate the expression of Bcl-2 gene in SMMC-7721 cells, and significantly decrease the expression of Bcl-2 protein, at the same time, with the increase of expression of Bax gene, the Bax protein's expression increased significantly. Which indicates that BMC restrain cell proliferation and cell apoptosis by stopping cell cycle, reducing the expression of Bcl-2 and increasing that of Bax; The anti-tumor activities of three kinds of complexes were: baicalin-copper (BC-Cu) > baicalin-cobalt (BC-Co) > baicalin-nickel (BC-Ni) > baicalin (BC), showing the dose-response relationship.

In this study, we investigated the pharmacokinetics parameters of SPIO-shRNA dual functional molecular probe and observed the main organ distribution by MRI in vivo. Eighteen New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into three groups and injected intravenously with different doses of SPIO-shRNA molecular probe, respectively. The blood samples were collected to analyze the pharmacokinetic parameters by measuring the iron content at 30 minutes before and after the injection. Twenty-four Kun Ming (KM) mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: the control group was injected intravenously with physiological saline 200 µL per mouse via the tail vein, the other 3 groups were injected intravenously with different doses of SPIO-shRNA molecular probe. MRI observation was performed in 24 hours, and the liver, spleen, kidney, brain and muscle were collected for iron quantification with Prussian blue staining to determine distribution of the SPIO-shRNA molecular probe in the main organ in vivo. Our results suggest that the molecular probe blood half-life is more than 3 hours. The data of MRI suggest the probe was distributed in liver and spleen, and the MRI signal was reduced with the increase in probe's doses (P < 0.05). The results of Prussian blue staining confirmed the results of MRI. Most of the probe could escape the phagocytosis of mononuclear phagocyte system. Our data provide the pharmacokinetic and distribution of SPIO-shRNA molecular probe in organs. Meanwhile, it suggests the choice of the time and dose of probe for MR imaging of tumor in vivo.

AIM: To determine the effect of heat treatment on rat primary cultured neurons, and give fundamental research for candidate molecule to protect the neurons from heat injury. METHODS: Neurons from rat striatum were primary cultivated in D-MEM with 15% horse serum, and when got mature, cells were identified by immuno-cytochemical staining with neurofilament protein (NF), tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and neuron specific enolase (NSE) antibodies. Cells in heat treatment groups were put in an 43 ℃ CO 2 incubator for 1 h, and the control groups at 37 ℃ as normal. Striatum neurons were stained with trypan blue and dual fluorscence dye (PI/H33258) immediately followed heat treatment, and necrosis rate of neurons was estimated. At the same time, activated caspase-3 immuno-cytochemical and TdT TUNEL methods were applied to determine apoptosis rate, and cell volume was also identified with micro-photography. RESULTS: During day 7 to day 9, the cultured striatum neurons got mature, and many neuronal fibers starched out and formed neuron network, NF, TH, and NSE staining positive. Treatment at 43 ℃ for 1 h, cell number decreased greatly, while NF+ percentage kept unchanged, and the heat treatment survived neurons were processing cell necrosis and apoptosis, but necrosis percentage was much greater than that of apoptosis. While cell volume kept unchanged after heat treatment. CONCLUSION: Heat treatment greatly affects the growth and survival of the cultured striatum neurons, and the injury effect is most due to cell necrosis process.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between cord blood vitamin D level and recurrent respiratory tract infection in infants. Methods: From August 2014 to July 2015, 298 neonates in the Second Hospital of Jiaxing were selected in this study.The serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D[25(OH)D] were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) in umbilical cord blood of neonates.The incidence of respiratory tract infection in infants was followed up. Results: There were 53.1%(158/298) newborns with vitamin D deficiency(deficiency group), 24.8%(74/298) neonates with inadequate vitamin D(inadequate group), 22.1%(66/298) infants with adequate vitamin D(adequate group). The incidence rates of recurrent respiratory infections in vitamin D deficiency group, inadequate group and adequate group were 29.7%(47/158), 17.6%(13/74), 10.6%(7/66), respectively.The incidence of recurrent respiratory tract infection among the three groups was statistically significantly different(χ²=11.114, P=0.01). Conclusion Vitamin D nutrition level of neonates has a significant correlation with infants with respiratory tract infection, especially lower respiratory tract infection.Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the supplement and detection of vitamin D during pregnancy, so as to reduce the incidence of infant respiratory diseases in the region.

AIMTo study the protective effect of Quinacrine(QA) on rat striatum neurons from the injury caused by heat environment treatment, to probe the relationship between cell membrane injury and cellular injury protection, and to seek the possibility of QA as a preventive agent to heat injury.

METHODSPrimary cultured striatum neurons from newborn rats were pretreated with QA at different concentration for 1 h, and then heat-treated at 43 degrees C for another 1 h. Cell necrosis was detected by Trypan blue staining, and apoptosis was evaluated through Activated Caspase-3 dye and TdT dye.

RESULTSHeat treatment effected the survival of striatum neurons and resulted in great number of cell death, which was mainly mediated by cell necrosis process. It was shown that treatment of QA itself had little effect on the survival of striatum neurons, while QA pretreatment decreased cellular necrosis caused by following heat treatment.

CONCLUSIONQA protects striatum neurons from heat environment injury at about 20 pmol/L, and the protection may mediated by reduction of necrosis.
