Multi-target drugs attract increasing attentions for the therapy of complicated neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, a computer-assisted strategy was applied to search for multi-target compounds by the pharmacophore matching. This strategy has been successfully used to design dual-target inhibitor models against both the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1). Based on two pharmacophore models matching and physicochemical properties filtering, one hit was identified which could inhibit AChE with IC50 value of (0.337 +/- 0.052) micromol x L(-1) and PARP-1 by 24.6% at 1 micromol x L(-1).

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of percutaneous haemostat stroke-poking reduction and elastic intramedullary nailing for pediatric radial neck fractures of O'Brien types Ⅱ & Ⅲ.Methods From January 2014 to June 2016,38 children (23 boys and 15 girls) with radial neck fracture of O'Brien type u or Ⅲ were treated by percutaneous haemostat stroke-poking reduction and elastic intramedullary nailing in our department.We had 26 left and 12 right sides.Their ages ranged from 5 to 14 years,averaging 8.6 years.All fractures were fresh.According to O'Brien classification,22 cases were type Ⅱ and 16 type Ⅲ.The operation time,frequency of intraoperative C-arm fluoroscopy,frequency of percutaneous haemostat stroke-poking reduction,and union time were recorded.The elbow function was assessed one day before removal of internal implants according to the Métaizeau scoring system.Results All operations succeeded,lasting from 12 to 25 min (average,16.4 min).The frequency of intraoperative fluoroscopy ranged from 3 to 11 times (average,6.4 times);the frequency of intraoperative percutaneous reduction ranged from 1 to 4 times (average,2.3 times).The patients were followed up for 6 to 22 months (average,1 1.2 months).Postoperative X-ray films showed satisfactory alignment of the fracture ends.All fractures demonstrated clinical and radiographic evidence of complete healing after a mean time of 58 days (from 38 to 72 days).The Métaizeau scoring showed 33 excellent,4 good and one fair cases,yielding an excellent to good rate of 97.4％.Follow-ups revealed no infection,implants breakage,nonunion,fracture redisplacement,or iatrogenic radial nerve injury.Conclusions As percutaneous haemostat stroke-poking reduction can increase the probability of successful reduction at first attempt,reduce frequency of close reduction and X-ray exposure for both children and medical staff,and shorten operation time,the procedure is effective,simple,reliable and minimally invasive,leading to fewer complications.

Study on drying quality of pill (false drying, surface crust, and cracks) is the difficulty in pharmaceutic research of Chinese materia medica (CMM). The influence mechanism and relationship of quality of CMM pill during drying and storage are still in the experimental stage, and there is no more appropriate theory to explain and research. This paper attempts to use glass transition theory to explore drying characteristics and physical state change process and mechanism of quality change and to control the quality change of strategy of CMM pill during drying and storage.

Malignant tumors are major diseases that endanger human health. Due to their complex and variable microenvironment, most anti-tumor drugs cannot precisely reach the focal tissue and be released in a controlled manner. Intelligent responsive nano carriers have become a hot spot in the field of anti-tumor drug delivery systems. As an excellent nano material, mesoporous silica has the advantages of non-toxic, stable, adjustable pore volume and pore diameter, and easy functional modification on the surface. By virtue of its perceptive response to the tumor microenvironment or physiological changes, it can achieve the targeted drug release or controlled drug release of the drug delivery system in the tissue, making it an ideal carrier for intelligent response drug delivery system. In this paper, we review the design strategies and current research status of smart responsive anti-tumor drug delivery systems based on mesoporous silica, in order to provide a reference for the development of anti-tumor drug nanoformulations.
