Objective To investigate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and transforming growth factor-β2 (TGF-β2) induced fibronectin (FN), collagen 1 (COL1), nuclear factor (NF)-κB P65 proteins and interlukin (IL)-1βgene expression in human trabecular meshwork cells (HTMCs), and the interventional mechanism of resveratrol (RSV). Methods (1) HTMCs with 70 to 80%confluency were divided into 5 groups. The experimental groups were treated with serum-free medium and with H2O2 at concentrations of 150, 300, 450 and 800μmol/L. The control group was treated with 0μmol/L H2O2. The protein levels of FN, COL1, NF-κB P65 and NF-κB P65 phosphorylation (P-NF-κB P65) were measured by Western blot assay. The expression of IL-1βgene was measured by qPCR. (2) HTMCs were divided into 3 groups. The control group was treated withserum-free medium and without H2O2 and RSV. The H2O2 group was treated with 300μmol/L H2O2. The H2O2+RSV group was treated with 300μmol/L H2O2 and 25μmol/L resveratrol (RSV). The expressions of proteins and genes mentioned above were detected in three groups. NF-κB P65 nuclear translocation was assessed by immunofluorescence technique. (3) HTMCs were divided into 3 groups. The control group was treated with serum-free medium and without TGF-β2 and RSV. The TGF-β2 group was treated with 5μg/L TGF-β2. The TGF-β2+RSV group was treated with 5μg/L TGF-β2 and 25μmol/L RSV. The expressions of proteins and genes mentioned above were detected in three groups. Results (1) Compared with control group, the protein levels of FN and P-NF-κB P65 were significantly increased in 150, 300, 450 and 800μmol/L groups,the expression levels of COL1 protein and IL-1β gene were significantly increased in 300, 450 and 800 μmol/L groups (P <0.05). There were no statistical significances between other indicators. (2) The expression levels of FN, COL1, P-NF-κB P65 proteins and IL-1βgene were significantly higher in H2O2 group than those in control group, and which were significantly lower in H2O2+RSV group than those in H2O2 group. Compared with control group, only the expression of IL-1βgene was decreased in H2O2+RSV group (P < 0.05). NF-κB P65 was only expressed in cytoplasm in control group, while it was expressed in both cytoplasm and nucleus in H2O2 group. Compared with H2O2 group, NF-κB P65 was mainly expressed in cytoplasm. (3) Compared with control group, the expressions of FN, COL1, P-NF-κB P65 proteins and IL-1β gene were significantly increased in TGF-β2 group (P < 0.05). Compared with TGF-β2 group, the indicators mentioned above were significantly decreased in TGF-β2+RSV group (P<0.05). Conclusion H2O2 and TGF-β2 can upregulate the expression of FN, COL1, P-NF-κB P65 proteins and IL-1βgene in HTMCs, which may be involved in the development and progression of glaucoma. RSV can inhibit the influence of H2O2 and TGF-β2 in HTMCs and exert a protective effect on glaucoma.

A lactoferrin-containing PEGylated liposome system (Lf-PLS) was developed and tested in vitro as a hepatoma-targeting drug delivery system. PEGylated liposomes (PLS) were successfully prepared using the thin film hydration method with peglipid post insertion. Lf was covalently conjugated onto the carboxyl terminal of DSPE-PEG2000-COOH on liposomes. Coumarin-6 was used to trace Lf-PLS with fluorescence. The cellular uptake of this system was carried out in asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) positive HepG2 cells via confocal microscopy and flow cytometry. The Lf-PLS liposome was observed as spherical or oval vesicles with the particle size around 130 nm, zeta potential about -30 mV and encapsulation efficiency more than 80%. The confocal microscopy images and flow cytometry data demonstrated that Lf-PLS resulted in significantly higher cell association by ASGPR positive HepG2 cells compared to PLS. The association between Lf-PLS and cells were dependent on the concentration, time and temperature, which was inhibited by pre-incubation with excessive free Lf. The results suggest that Lf-PLS has a good targeting effect on HepG2 cells in vitro. The targeting mechanism may be related to the specific binding of Lf and ASGPR on HepG2 cells, which guides Lf-PLS to the cell surface to induce an active endocytosis process. All these results demonstrated that Lf-PLS might be a potential drug delivery system in targeting hepatocellular carcinoma, which deserves more research on its targeting ability, antitumor efficiency, and metabolism in vivo for treatment of hepatomacellular carcinoma.

Objective To discuss the effect of the teaching mode of technological pedagogical and content knowledge in biochemistry theory teaching. Methods 400 students in 8 classes of clinical medicine undergraduate in Grade 2013 were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups. The traditional teaching mode was applied in the control group of 198 students in 1-4 classes, while the technological pedagogical and content knowledge teaching mode was applied in the experimental group of 202 students in 5-8 classes. 385 students in 8 classes of clinical medical undergraduates in Grade 2014 were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups. The control group of 189 students in 1-4 classes adopted the traditional teaching mode, while the experimental group of 196 students in 5-8 classes adopted the technological pedagogical and content knowledge teaching mode, which used the micro-lesson and network platform as learning resource superior to the flipped classroom. Flipped classroom was divided into two major learning links:extracurricular self-study and class digestion. Through the network platform the micro-lesson was presented to the learners. Learners could make self-study according to their own specific circumstances and in the classroom many activities were increased such as the mutual cooperation between the students, the students' PPT teaching, the students' questions and the discussion, and the interaction between teachers and students, etc. The results of the examinations of the two terms students of the same profession and the questionnaire were analyzed. The related data were processed by SPSS 15.0, and the data between groups were compared by t test . Results The test scores analysis showed that the individual test scores in experimental group of Grade 2013 were [(17.94±2.02) vs. (12.28±4.17)], and the individual test scores in experimental group of Grade 2014 were [(18.21 ±1.78) vs. (12.45 ±5.13)], which were obviously higher than the control group, and there was statistical significance. The final exam scores in experimental group of Grade 2013 were [(78.28±11.18) vs. (68.65±12.51)], and the final exam scores in experimental group of Grade 2014 were [(81.73 ±9.12) vs. (74.41 ±11.87)], which were obviously higher than the control group, and there was statistical significance. The results of survey showed that the students thought the teaching mode aroused their study interests while 393 (93.7%), thought the teaching mode developed their self-study ability while 357 (89.7%), thought the teaching mode beneficial to cultivating their ability of solving the problems. Conclusion The teaching mode of technological pedagogical and content knowledge is of certain signifi-cance to break the plight of the traditional teaching, inspire the students interest in learning, improve the teaching quality of biochemistry, and make for the teachers' professional development.
