BACKGROUND:Compared with smooth titanium, titania nanotubes cannot only induce mesenchymal stem cels osteogenic differentiation and promote bone integration, but also be used as drug nanocarriers. OBJECTIVE:To prepare dexamethasone-loaded titania nanotube system and to test its drug release characteristics. METHODS:Titania nanotubes were prepared by electrochemical anodic oxidation, and dexamethasone was dripped onto the prepared titania nanotubes. Subsequently layer by layer self-assembly technology was employed to fabricate gelatin/chitosan multilayered structure on the prepared samples. Scanning electron microscope and contact angle test were carried out during the process of building the gelatin/chitosan multilayered structure. The drug release was measured by a ultraviolet spectrophotometer. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Under the scanning electron microscopy, the fabricated titania nanotubes had integral structure with even tube size of about 70 nm and arranged regularly, and the nanotubes were completely covered and sealed by the gelatin/chitosan multilayered membrane. Contact angle test results showed that ever since the fifth layer, contact angles changed alternately and displayed a zigzag profile. Ultraviolet spectrophotometer test results showed that when cultured for 3 hours, the cumulative drug release was about 32.7% and demonstrated an initial burst folowed by sustained release. When cultured for 24 hours, the cumulative drug release about 52.3%. However, after cultured for 7 days, little drug release was detected. And there was about 8.0%-10.0% dexamethasone of initial loading preserved in nanotubes.

Objective To investigate the role of 2B subunits-containing N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NR2B) in the arcuate nucleus in the development of inflammatory pain (IP) in rats.Methods One hundred and eight male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 9 weeks, weighing 200-250 g, were randomly divided into 4 groups using a random number table: sham operation group (group S, n =47);group IP (n =47);dimethyl sulfoxide control group (group DMSO, n =7);selective NR2B antagonist Ro25-6981 group (group Ro25-6981, n=7).IP was induced by injecting complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) 0.1 ml into the plantar surface of the left hindpaw.Ro25-6981 400 pmol was injected into the arcuate nucleus at 3 days after CFA injection.Seven rats in each group were selected for measurement of the mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal paw withdrawal latency (TWL) at 1 day before CFA injection (T1) and at 2 days after CFA injection (T2), at 30 min before administration on 3rd day (T3) , at 30 min after administration on 3rd day (T4) , and on 5th day (T5).In S and IP groups, The rats were sacrificed at T1-3 and T5 , and the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus was removed for determination of NR2B mRNA expression (by real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction) and NR2B and phosphorylated NR2B (p-NR2B) expression (by Western blot).Conclusion Compared with group S, the MWT was significantly decreased, and the TWL was shortened at T2-5 in IP, DMSO and Ro25-6981 groups, and the expression of p-NR2B was up-regulated at each time point (P＜0.05) , and no significant change was found in NR2B protein and mRNA expression in group IP (P＞0.05).Compared with group IP, the MWT was significantly increased, and the TWL was prolonged at T4in group Ro25-6981 (P＜0.05) , and no significant change was found in MWT and TWL at each time point in group DMSO (P＞0.05).Conclusion The activation of NR2B in the arcuate nucleus is involved in the development of IP in rats.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effects of IBI302 on experimental choroidal neovascularization (CNV).Methods Affinity of IBI302 to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family cytokines (including VEGF-A165,VEGF-A121 and placental growth factor PlGF) and complements (C3b,C4b) was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The antagonist effect of IBI302 on VEGF was measured by proliferation,migration and tube formation tests of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC).The anti-complement activity of IBI302 was measured by hemolysis test mediated by complement classical pathway and alternative pathway.Rhesus laser-induced CNV model was divided into 5 groups including model control group,bevacizumab group,IBI302 0.25 mg group,IBI302 0.50 mg group and IBI302 1.25 mg group.Fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography were performed on these monkeys at 14 and 28 days after drug delivery to observe the fluorescein leakage area and retinal thickness.The aqueous VEGF concentration was measured at 29 days after drug delivery.Results IBI302 showed good affinity to VEGF-A165,VEGF-A121 and PlGF,as well as C3b and C4b.IBI302 significantly inhibited the proliferation,migration and tube formation of HUVEC induced by VEGF-A165.IBI302 inhibited the hemolysis induced by complements obviously.At 14 and 28 days after drug delivery,the area of fluorescein leakage and retinal thickness in IBI302 0.25 mg group,IBI302 0.50 mg group,IBI302 1.25 mg group were reduced.The differences of the area of fluorescein leakage and retinal thickness in three IBI302 groups were not significant (P＞0.05).At 29 days after drug delivery,the VEGF concentration in the aqueous of rhesus monkey in bevacizumab group [(38.644 ± 6.521) pg/ml] was decreased than that in model control group [(94.203± 17.360) pg/ml],the difference was significant (P＜ 0.05).The VEGF concentration in the aqueous of rhesus monkey in three IBI302 groups were less than 31.300 pg/ml.Conclusion IBI302 inhibited experimental CNV through blocking the activity of VEGF and complement.
