BACKGROUND:Related studies have showed that poly D,L-lactide-co-glycolide can effectively package antisense oligonucleotides, smal interfering RNA, microRNA. Poly D,L-lactide-co-glycolide can better protect them against the destruction of the enzymes in vivo and have slow the drug release. Therefore, the number of drug administration can be reduced to achieve a long-term and effective therapeutic effect. ＜br> OBJECTIVE:To prepare poly D,L-lactide-co-glycolide-CXCR4-miRNA-nano-particles and to research the characteristics of the prepared nanoparticles. ＜br> METHODS:Poly D,L-lactide-co-glycolide-CXCR4-miRNA nanoparticles were prepared by double emulsion-evaporation process. Ultraviolet spectrophotometry was utilized for measurement of encapsulation efficiency and drug-loading rate, observing the shape of nanoparticles by transmission electron microscope, and measuring the size and distribution of nanoparticles by laser particle size analyzer. Sustained-release characteristics of nanoparticle suspension were observed in phosphate buffer. ＜br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The prepared nanoparticles were spherical-shaped, smooth, evently distributed and inadhesive. The particle size was mainly distributed within 143-502 nm, with an average diameter of 280 nm. The average drug loading was (0.515±0.023)%, the average encapsulation ratio was 50.2%and difference between batches was smal . The nanoparticles could slowly release in vitro and the process initial y experienced the fast-release stage, and then reached a basical y stable platform stage at day 14. These finding indicate that the process to prepare poly D,L-lactide-co-glycolide CXCR4-miRNA-nanoparticles by double emulsion-evaporation is simple. The prepared nanoparticles are wel targeted and exhibit sustained-release effects.

Most of the children with cerebral palsy in this group are mental retarded.

Objective To investigate the Raman spectral characteristics of the pathological lip minor salivary glands affected in primary Sjtǒgren's syndrome.Methods Thirty pathological samples and 30 normal samples were collected in this study.The samples were examined by Raman microscope.Support vector machine (SVM) was employed to analyze the data and establish the classification model.Results The spectra of pathological tissues was different from the controls in proteins,nucleic acids,lipids and glycogen skeleton.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of the model established by SVM on the training sets were all 92.0％ (92/100),but the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of the model established by SVM on the testing sets were 69.2％ (37/53),100.0％ (37/37) and 82.0％ (73/89) respectively.Conclusions There was significant difference in Raman spectra between the pathological and normal lip salivary glands,and the classification model established by SVM could discriminate the pathological glands from the normal ones.

Objective To study the gene homology of intestinal colonized and infectious bacteria in ICU patients to provide the epidemiological and molecular biological basis for formulating the control measures of multi resistant bacterial hospital infection. Methods The multi-drug resistant colonized bacteria isolated from the anal swabs and the same multi-drug resistant bacteria isola-ted from the clinical samples in the same patients were matched.The Diversilab automatic repetitive extragenic palindromic(REP)-PCR typing system was adopted to analyze the gene homology of multi-drug resistant colonized bacteria and infectious bacteria in the intestinal tract.Results 4 pairs of multi-drug resistant colonized bacteria and the same multi-drug resistant bacteria isolated from the clinical samples on admission in the same patients were selected and performed the homology detection,2 pairs had the ho-mology and 2 pairs had no homology;4 pairs of multi-drug resistant colonized bacteria and the same multi-drug resistant bacteria isolated from the clinical samples in the patients with hospital infection were performed the homology detection,4 pairs all showed the homology.Conclusion The multi-drug resistant colonized bacteria and the infectious bacteria in ICU patients have the homolo-gy.The multi-drug resistant colonized bacteria can cause the occurrence of hospital infection,so their management should be strengthened in clinic.

Objective:To investigate the effect of staphylococcus aureus on expressions of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) in THP-1 monocytes under high glucose concentrations. Methods:THP- 1 monocytes were incubated at different surroundings with 2×2 factorial design. There were 4 experimental groups in the study, which were analyzed by univariate analysis of variance. The total RNA was distilled. The expressions of iNOS and IL-1β were examined by SQ-RT-PCR. Results:The expressions of iNOS and IL-1β were affected by high glucose concentration, bacteria and both of them together in THP-1 monocytes. The expressions of iNOS and IL-1β were weakened in high glucose concentration compared with that of control(P < 0.01). The expressions of iNOS and IL-1β were weakened in the high glucose concentration and bacterial infection compared with that of the high glucose concentration only(P < 0.01). The expressions of iNOS and IL-1β increased in bacterial infection compared with that of control(P < 0.01). The expression of IL-1β increased in high glucose concentration and bacterial infection compared with that of the high glucose concentration only(P < 0.01) but the expression of iNOS was not distinct. Conclusion:When staphylococcus aureus infected monocytes, the expressions of iNOS and IL-1β were weakened in high glucose concentration, which suggested that the depressed function of immunocyte was related with high glucose concentration.

Objective To investigate the effects of heat-killed Staphylococcus aureus (HKSA) on the apoptosis and expression of iNOS and IL-1β in THP-1 monocytes in the presence of high concentration of glucose.Methods THP-1 cells were cultured in medium containing 25.0 mmol/L(HG) or 5.5 mmol/L (LG,control) D-glucose for 12 h-8 d.The THP-1 cells cultured for 6 d were extracted on the 0-48 h with or without HKSA,then apoptosis and expression of iNOS and IL-1β were examined.Apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry and expressions of IL-1β and iNOS were quantitated by real-time PCR.Results The expression of iNOS and IL-1β in THP-1 monocytes was increased significantly in the presence of high concentration of glucose for 12-48 h(P＜0.05),reaching the highest level at 24 h and returned to baseline after 4 d.The expression was significantly lower than that of control after 4-6 d.Apoptosis rate was also increased significantly after 48 h to 4 days.HKSA infection enhanced apoptosis,but inhibited the expression of iNOS and IL-1 β in the presence of high concentration of glucose.The expression of iNOS and IL-1β increased significantly at 6 h(P＜0.01),reaching the highest level at 12 h,but the levels were significantly lower than those in control groups (P＜0.05).Conclusion These data suggest that high concentration of glucose can interfere with the anti-bacterial function of monocytes by reducing their expression of iNOS and IL-1β and enhancing their apoptosis.
