Objective To study the application of hepatamethine cyanine near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) dye IR-783 in the mouse models of human liver cancer exenografts, and to analyze the molecular mechanisms of the NIRF dye targeting tumor cells.Methods Luciferase-tagged HepG2 cells were inoculated subcutaneously into the nude mice.We detected the correlation of NIRF intensity and bioluminescence intensity (BIL) in the tumor region.Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model was established in mouse by subrenal capsular implantation of clinic liver cancer specimen.After injecting the IR-783 dye, the interface between mouse kidney and the xenograft tumors was confirmed by NIRF analysis, and the tumor tissue in kidney was observed by pathology using H&E staining.The expression of CEA, AFP, HIF1α and OATP3A1 in the liver cancer tissue was detected by immunohistochemical staining.The intracellular retention of NIRF dyes was observed under fluorescence microscope after adding Mito Tracker or Lyso Tracker into cultured HepG2 cells.We added IR-783 in a co-culture system of HCCs and normal liver cells to test the specifical identification ability of IR-783 of the liver cancer cells.Results There was a good correlation between NIRF intensity and BIL intensity of the subcutaneous liver cancer xenograft region in nude mice.The margin between the mouse kidney tissue and xenograft tumors was clearly identified by IR-783.Compared with normal kidney tissue, CEA, HIF1α, OATP3A1 and AFP were highly expressed in the tumor region detected by IHC staining.The NIRF dye IR-783 was mainly accumulated in the mitochondria and lysosomes of cancer cells.GFP-tagged HepG2 cells could be recognized directly, whereas red fluorescence was not detected in normal liver cells.Conclusions IR-783 is a novel near-infrared fluorescent dye with tumor targeting and imaging properties.Its targeting ability may be related to the high expression of HIF1α and OATP3A1 in the liver cancer tissue.

This paper is in order to study the anti-feeding and growth inhibition activity of toatal ginsenoside of ginseng stems and leaves against 4th-instar Mythimna separata larvae. Simulating natural growing condition indoors, on the base, To study the anti-feeding and growth inhibition activity of toatal ginsenoside against 4th-instar M. separata larvae by leaf disc test. The toatal ginsenoside appeared to be of significant antifeeding activity against 4th-instar M. separata larvae. The 4th-instar M. separata larvae fed on the leaves of Sorghum bicolor treated with 20, 10, 5 g · L(-1) toatal ginsenoside. At 8 h, non-selective anti-feeding rate were 88.67%, 64.40% and 47.36%, and selective anti-feeding rate were 62.49% , 44.29% and 34.19%; Compared with the photographic, The toatal ginsenoside conld make the development period had prolonged 13h in treated group. The toatal ginsenoside had significant inhibition effect on feeding and growth and development against 4th-instar M. separata larvae, and inhibition effect increases as the increase of concentration ginsenoside.

Objective To establish and evaluate a patient-derived orthotopic xenograft ( PDOX ) model of pancreatic cancer. Methods Tissues of patient-derived pancreatic tumor were transplanted into nude mouse pancreas by surgery. The PDOX models were evaluated by the small animal near infrared fluorescence ( NIRF) optical imaging and PET/CT. The traceability of PDOX models was detected by STR technology, and the pathological changes were observed by H&E staining, immunohistochemistry, and serum level of CA19-9 was detected by ELISA. Results Apparent NIRF were observed to be accumulated in pancreatic site by optical imaging system. The location and size of the xenografts tumor were revealed by fluorescence intensity. The PET/CT images with 18F-FDG molecular probe confirmed the tumor's location and size. Ex vivo NIRF imaging of isolated organ further showed the tumor formation. The traceability of PDOX models was 99. 99% with human origin. H&E staining pathology and immunohistochemistry indicated the pancreatic cancer characteristics. The high serum level of ca19-9 confirmed the mice bearing tumor. Conclusions Pancreatic PDOX models are successfully established in this study, and it can be evaluated comprehensively by NIRF optical imaging and PET/CT, providing an appropriate platform for further research of pancreatic cancer.

OBJECTIVETo observe the changes in spinal cord pathophysiology, motor function and electrophysiology after spinal cord injuries induced by punctures with different needles, and explore a new means for studying spinal neurotoxicity of local anesthetics.
METHODSA total of 144 SD rats were randomly allocated into the sham-operated group (n=36) and 3 spinal cord injury groups (n=36) with the L4-5 segment of the dura mater of the spinal cord punctured using 29G, 25G, and 21G needles. The BBB scores before surgery were recorded, and at 8 h, 24 h, 72 h, 1 week, and 2 weeks after the surgery, the motor evoked potential (MEP), spinal cord pathology and the BBB scores were examined.
RESULTSIn the control group, the rats showed normal BBB score, spinal function and microstructure. Spinal cord puncture with 29G needle did not cause obvious pathologies of the spinal cord, whereas puncture with 21G needle resulted in marked changes in the motor function, electrophysiology and histology of the spinal cord, which showed significant improvements at 2 weeks postoperatively.
CONCLUSIONPuncture with a 29G needle causes less injuries and minimal functional changes of the spinal cord, which can serve as a new means for studying spinal neurotoxicity of local anesthetics.
