OBJECTIVE: To prepare amphiphilic long-circulating hydroxycamptothecin nanoparticles and investigate its physicochemical properties and pharmacokinetic characteristics in rats. METHODS: Polyethyleneglycol-polycaprolactone (PEG-PCL) was synthesized. HCPT-PEG-PCL-NPs were prepared by solvent-diffusion method using PEG-PCL block copolymer as the matrix. The obtained NPs were evaluated, and the physical stabilities of both suspl and freeze-dried powder were investigated. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to determine and compare the pharmacokinetic parameters of HCPT injection and HCPT-PEG-PCL-NPs prepared with different copolymers in rats. RESULTS: When using PEG4000-PCL1250, PEG4000-PCL2000, PEG2000-PCL1250, PEG2000-PCL2000 as the carrier materials, the average particle sizes of NPs were 110.0, 116.1, 99.1 and 119.9 nm; the Zeta potentials were -16.9, -22.4, -28.8 and -33.5 mV; the entrapment efficiency were 83.10%, 88.29%, 77.46% and 80.67%; and the drug loading percentages were 2.56%, 2.96%, 2.14% and 2.31%, respectively. The physical stability of the freeze-dried powder was better, and hot environment seemed to be bad for the stability. The t1/2s of HCPT-PEG4000-PCL1250-NPs, HCPT-PEG2000-PCL1250-NPs, HCPT-PEG4000-PCL2000-NPs and HCPT-PEG2000-PCL2000-NPs were 18.07, 9.08, 5.25 and 5.14 times longer than that of HCPT injection which was 0.1418 h. CONCLUSION: The HCPT-PEG-PCL-NPs show sustained-release effect and long-circulation property compared with HCPT injection. Copyright 2012 by the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy of warm needling moxibustion plus tricolor medicinal paste in treating knee osteoarthritis.MethodNinety-one patients meeting the diagnostic criteria were randomly allocated to a treatment group (45 cases) and a control group (46 cases). The treatment group was given warmneedling moxibustion plus tricolor medicinal paste and the control group, warm needling moxibustion alone. The clinical therapeutic effect and the WOMAC score were observed in thetwo groups. An improvement in the symptoms of knee osteoarthritis was assessed in the patients after treatment.ResultIn both groups, there were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in the pain and daily activity scores and the WOMAC total score (P<0.05) but not in the morning stiffness score (P>0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the daily activity score and the WOMAC total score (P<0.05) but not in the pain and morning stiffness scores (P>0.05) between the two groups.Conclusion The study shows that warm needling moxibustion plus external application of tricolor medicinal paste has a marked improving effect on the pain, swelling and physiological functions in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Improving lower limb function further in daily activities can produce a satisfactory and stable therapeutic effect.

Objective To analyze the correlation of perfusion parameters obtained by functional multi-slice computed tomography (fMSCT) with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) detected with immunohistochemistry on rabbit model with VX2 breast cancer and noninvasively evaluate the vascularization of untreated VX2 breast cancer in vivo. Methods Sixteen New Zealand femal rabbits were selected and suspension (1 ml) of mass was injected around the breast areola. CT perfusion was performed after two weeks and perfusion parameters including blood flow (BF), blood volume (BV), mean transit time (MTT)and permeability surface (PS) were assessed. Expression of VEGF in neoplasm was detected with immunohistochemistry. Paried t test was used for the comparison of perfusion parameters between the tumor and muscle and Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the correlation of VEGF with perfusion parameters. Results The mean value of BF, BV, MTT and PS were (228.21 ± 13. 13 ) ml · min-1100 mg-1 ,(13.45 ± 1.01) ml · 100 mg-1 ,(3. 50 ±0. 20) sand (7.85 ±1.18) ml · min-1 · 100 mg-1 in tumor, respectively. They were (66. 10 ±22. 11 ) ml · min-1 · 100 mg-1 , ( 1.88 ± 1.80) ml · 100 mg-1,(23. 87 ±0. 63)s,(1.55 ±0. 38)ml · min-1 · 100 mg-1 in muscular tissue, respectively. The mean value of BF, BV and PS in tumor were obviously higher than those in muscle, and the mean value of MTT in tumor was lower than that in muscle. There were significant differences in CT perfusion parameters between tumor and muscle (t = 61.83,13.63,27.72,20. 54, P ＜ 0. 01 ). The mean value of VEGF in tumor was 7. 33 ±0. 27 and there were positive correlation with BF ( r = 0. 712, P ＜ 0. 01 ), BV ( r = 0. 647, P ＜ 0. 01 ), PS ( r =0. 627 ,P ＜ 0. 01 ), and negative correlation with MTT ( r = - 0. 564, P ＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusion MSCT perfusion imaging can be used to noninvasively evaluate the vascularization in rabbits with untreated VX2 breast cancer in vivo.

Objective To investigate the change of apoptosis in LNCaP cells after inhibition of autophagic process under androgen removal conditions. Methods The autophagic level was deter-mined by using confocal microscopy and RT-PCR. The DAPI staining was used to indicate the apopto-sis of LNCaP cells after inhibition of autophagic by 3-MA. Also, Z-VAD-FMK was used to extend the apoptosis results. Results ①Androgen deprivation led to increased autophagy in LNCaP cells. LN-CaP cells cultured in complete medium(CM) presented low autophagic process with 1.9 scores. After 24 hours, the punetate GFP-LC3 structures were accumulated in the cells cultured in serum-free medi-um (SF)(2.64 scores). In contrast, the number of punctate GFP-LC3 remained at a very low level (1.85 scores), when cells were incubated with DHT in SFA(serum-free medium+DHT). Statistical analysis showed the significant difference between SF and SFA (P<0.01). Semiquantitative RT-PCR was employed to examine the mRNA expression of LC3. Indeed, cells grown in the medium without serum had a higher LC3 mRNA expression with the highest at 12 hour time point as compared with the cells grown in CM. DHT treatment reduced the level of LC3 mRNA. ②Blockage of autophagy by 3-MA increased the apoptosis of LNCaP cells. LNCaP cells in SF and SFA just presented a basal level of apoptosis, which is (3.19±1.09)% and (3.01±0.33)% , respectively. Under androgen-free con-ditions, inhibition of autophagy by 3-MA could increase apoptosis significantly(10. 90±2.91%). While Z-VAD-FMK, a pan Caspase inhibitor, was able to suppress this apoptotic process to the level of (1.16±0.52)%, which was statistically significant(P<0.01). Conclusions Androgen removal can lead to the increase of autophagy in LNCaP cells. Moreover, inhibition of autophagy promotes the occurrence of apoptosis.

Objective To investigate the correlation between atypical respiratory pathogens infection and serum vitamin D(VitD) level in children.Methods Serum IgM antibody levels of 11 atypical respiratory pathogens were detected in 414 serum samples of child respiratory infection by using the respiratory tract 11-items detection reagent kits (indirect immunofluorescence assay),including respiratory syncytial virus(RSV),adenovirus(ADV),influenza A virus(FluA),influenza B virus(FluB),parainfluenzavirus(PFlu),Mycoplasma pneumonia(MP),Chlalmydia pneumoniae(CP),Coxsackie virus type B(CoxB),Coxsackie virus type A(CoxA) and legionella pneumophilia(LP).At the same time the electrochemiluminescence assay was used to measure serum VitD level.Results Among 414 samples,pathogen IgM was detected out in 214 samples (51.69%),the top three places of detection rates were FluB,FluA and Mp,their positive rates were 32.13%,23.19% and 13.77% respectively;in cases of positive IgM antibody,17.63% of children developed single infection,34.06% of children developed 2 kinds of pathogen or more mixed infection;there was no statistical difference in the VitD levels between the IgM antibody positive group (median 23.60 ng/mL,3.37-71.50 ng/mL) and the IgM antibody negtive group(median 23.95 ng/mL,3.00-81.70 ng/mL).The IgM antibody positive rate,single infection positive rate and mixed infection positive rate had no statistical difference between the VitD reduce group and the VitD normal group(P>0.05).The positive rate of FluB,FluA and MP IgM antibody had no statistical difference between the VitD reduce group and the VitD normal group(P>0.05).Atypical respiratory pathogens had no correlation with VitD(r=0.005,P=0.912).Conclusion Atypical respiratory pathogens infection may had no correlation with the VitD level reduce.

Objective To investigate the level change of glucose excursion , 8-iso prostaglandin F 2α( 8-iso-PGF2α) in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM), and its effects on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).Methods A total of 62 inpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus including T2DM group(DM, 30 cases) and T2DM with NAFLD group(DM+NAFLD, 32 cases) were recruited from October 2012 to November 2013 , normal glucose tolerance group had normal glucose tolerance ( NGT;30 cases ) with normal physical examination results.The age, gender, duration, blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), and blood lipid among three groups were no statistical difference .The clinical data of each patient were collected by professional people .Blood lipids and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were detected.Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) were taken in all groups.The Postprandial glucose excursion (PPGE), blood glucose standard deviation (SDBG), mean blood glucose and (MBG) and HbA1c were used to evaluate the glucose excursion.Serum 8-iso-PGF2αwas detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent (ELISA) to evaluate oxidative stress.Inter-group com-parison was conducted with analysis of variance ( ANOVA) .Correlation analysis was used to evaluate the factors of influence .Results⑴The levels of PPGE[(7.34 ±2.23) mmol/L vs (8.52 ±2.43) mmol/L],SDBG[(2.43 ±0.90) mmol/L vs (2.80 ±0.78) mmol/L], MBG[(11.06 ±1.76) mmol/L vs (13.65 ±2.83) mmol/L], and HbA1c [(7.59 ±1.02)% vs (8.05 ±1.52)%] in T2DM group and T2DM with NAFLD group were significantly higher than that in NGT group (both P <0.05); and that in NAFLD group have significantly rise than that in DM group ( P <0.05), but there was no significant difference in HbA 1c between groups.⑵ The level of serum 8-iso-PGF2αwas gradually increased from NGT group [(33.45 ±8.60) pg/ml], DM group [(47.33 ±15.30) pg/ml], to DM +NAFLD group [(56.07 ±13.10) pg/ml], with statistically significant difference ( P <0.05);⑶The Person corre-lation analysis showed that the content of serum 8-iso-PGF2αwas positively correlated with PPGE, SDBG, and MBG ( r =0.796, 0.778 , 0.712 , P <0.01 ) .Conclusions Serum 8-iso-PGF2αis a better parameter to reflect the status of body oxidative stress .The level of oxidative stress is increased with the increase of glucose excursion in T 2DM, which is the important mechanism of its complica-tions of NAFLD.

Objective:To access the feasibility and safety of application of flexible laryngeal mask air-way ( FLMA) in oral&maxillofacial day surgery. Methods:Retrospective study was conducted of 40 oral& maxillofacial day surgery patients (3 to 61 years of age) using FLMA under general anaesthesia in De-partment of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology. All the patients were with American Society of Anesthesiologists ( ASA ) physical status Ⅰ -Ⅱ, including 19 males and 21 females. The patients' vital signs were recorded at five different time points:baseline before anesthesia ( T0 ) , time right after the FLMA insertion ( T1 ) , time at incision ( T2 ) , 15 min after incision ( T3 ) and time at the end of the operation ( T4 ) . The first attempted FLMA insertion successful rate and the number of timed of changing to endotracheal intubation were recorded. During operation, frequencies of movement, hypoxia and obstruction of airway were noted and the operation time, anesthesia time, time from the end of the operation to extubation, movement and coughing following extubation and sore throat within 24 h were taken down. Operation-related complications of bleeding, hematoma and injury of local nerves were recorded within 24 h as well. Results:The operations of all the 40 patients were successfully done under general anaesthesia. The 36 ( 90%, 36/40 ) patients using FLMA successfully were under steady process, including 16 males and 20 females. The first attempted successful rate of FLMA insertion was 80% (32/40), and the second 50% (4/8). Three out of the 4 failed FLMA patients were changed to endotracheal intubation after the second attempt failed. The other patient was changed to endotracheal intubation before operation because of leak. The average operation time was (46. 58 ± 22. 57) min, the anesthesia time was ( 77 . 97 ± 26 . 82 ) min and the time from the end of operation to extubation was (8. 31 ± 3. 33) min. All the patients were recorded without obvious body movement during the operation procedure. There were 4 patients (11. 11%, 4/36) with slight body movement during extubation. The incidence of sore throat was 13. 89% (5/36) within 24 h postoperatively. There were no complications of bleeding, hematoma and injury of local nerves. The vital signs of baseline T0 were significantly different from those at other time points T1, T2, T3, and T4 (P<0. 01). As to the hearts rate after anesthesia, the values at T1, T2, T3 and T4 for two-two comparison, there was no statistical difference (P>0. 05). As to the values of systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure after anesthesia at T1 and T4 , T2 and T3, for two-two comparison, there was no statistical difference (P>0. 05). As to the respiratory rate from the start of the surgery, the values at T2, T3 and T4 showed no statistical difference (P>0. 05). Conclusion:Flexible laryngeal mask airway is a supraglottic airway management method. It is suitable and safe for securing the airway in oral & maxillofacial day surgery. The advantages of fewer haemody-namic changes and postoperative complications are confirmed.
