BACKGROUND: Human lower limb system under different motion statuses exhibits great difference in terms of kinetic characteristics and joint deformation magnitude. Total hip replacement has been shown to be the best method to solve the severe illness of hip joints today. A good understanding of the responses of human lower limb system, in particular the knee joint, following total hip replacement is significant for rehabilitation training of patients.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effects of total hip replacement on knee joint deformation during motions by comparing the data collected from a patient who underwent total hip replacement 19 months ago and a healthy control subject under the same testing environment and method.METHODS: The patient was measured through the use of Optotrak Certus motion capture system (Northern Digital Inc.,California), and simultaneously measurements were performed in a healthy control subject presenting with similar body weight and body mass. Measurement indices included step length, step frequency, joint corner, and joint displacement curves. Speed and acceleration of each joint were calculated based on measured data.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Following total hip replacement, the structure of natural hip joint was destroyed. Although the gait did not change greatly, experimental data showed that knee joint deformed more greatly than normal gait, indicating the self-accommodation of human body, i.e., increasing the loading and deformation magnitude of knee joints can avoid the injuries caused by hip joint surgery.

Objective: To further investigate the molecular mechanism of photodynamic therapy. Methods: We used cDNA microarray technique to explore the gene expression profiles of HEPG2 cells after photodynamic therapy with hematoperphyrin monomethyl ether(HMME) in HEPG2 cells. After treated with HMME for 60 min, the HEPG2 cells were irradiated with laser, and observed by microscope with H E staining. To prepare the probes, mRNA from both control and treated cells were isolated and purified, then reversely transcribed to cDNA with the incorporation of fluorecent labeled dUTP. The probes were hybridized with a cDNA microarray representing the 1 538 genes originated from human hepatocarcinoma cells. The fluorencent signals of Cy3 and Cy5 were scanned and analyzed. Results: After laser irradiation, the HEPG2 cells showed the typical feature of apoptosis. The gene expression profiles were also changed greatly. Among the 1 538 target genes, 389(2.47%) different expression genes were detected. Most of the changed genes (nearly 80%) were down regulated. They were functionally related to cell proliferation cycle, replication, metabolism and so on. Several apoptosis associated genes were detected among those up regulated genes, encoding the key proteins involved in apoptosis signal transduction, such as CCP32,AIF,Mch2. Conclusion: The HMME photodynamic therapy can initiate the apoptosis process of HEPG2 cells, which may be regulated by mitochondial pathway.[

In order to investigate the ability of PEG-PEI copolymers as gene carriers for delivery of VEGF165. A series of PEG-PEI copolymers with different PEG grafting was prepared and the cytotoxicity was evaluated. Simultaneously,the VEGF165 gene segment with HindⅢ and BamHⅠ site was obtained by PCR, which was cloned into pEGFP-C1. PEG-PEI/ pEGFP-VEGF165 complexes were formed by self-assembly and transfected HUVEc. Transfection efficiency was evaluated by measuring the percentage of cells expressing green fluorecensce protein. The VEGF expression was detected by ELISA, RT-PCR, and the effect of transfection on growth of endothelial cell was evaluated by MTT. The results suggested that the formation of PEG-PEI copolymers could help to reduce the cytotoxicity of PEI. After transfection, the strong expression of green fluorescence protein was observed by fluorescence microscopy. The transfection efficiency was influenced by the number of PEG side chains and N/P ratio. Of all copolymers tested, the transfection efficiency of PEG-PEI(5-25-1) at N/P = 30 reached a maximum, which was much higher than that of PEI. The expression of VEGF protein and mRNA increased significantly, and HUVEc proliferation was accelerated after transfection.These results indicates PEG-PEI copolymers can be used as effective gene carriers for delivery of pEGFP-VEGF165 gene.

Objective:To automatically synthesize Al 18F-1, 4, 7-triazacyclononane-1, 4, 7-triacetic acid (NOTA)-fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI)-04, perform PET/CT imaging in vivo, and evaluate its diagnostic efficacy on tumors. Methods:Al 18F-NOTA-FAPI-04 was produced in All-in-one automatic synthesis module and its quality control was conducted by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) equipped with a radioactive detector. Al 18F-NOTA-FAPI-04 PET/CT imaging was performed in normal BALB/c mice ( n=3) and 4T1 breast cancer models ( n=3) to determine its biodistribution. Then Al 18F-NOTA-FAPI-04 and 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging were performed in a hepatocellular carcinoma patient (male, 51 years old). Results:The synthesis time of Al 18F-NOTA-FAPI-04 was about 35 min, and the radiochemical yield was (25.2±1.9)% (attenuation correction, n=3). The product was colorless transparent solution with pH value of 7.0-7.5, and the specific activity was (46.11±3.07) GBq/μmol (attenuation correction, n=3). The radiochemical purity was above 99.0% and was still above 98.0% at room temperature after 6 h. PET/CT imaging in mice showed that physiological uptake of Al 18F-NOTA-FAPI-04 was mainly in biliary system and bladder, and Al 18F-NOTA-FAPI-04 highly concentrated in tumor xenografts. PET/CT imaging in the patient showed that Al 18F-NOTA-FAPI-04 obtained high tumor background ratio (TBR) values of 4.1, 8.9, 5.4, 4.8, 2.2 in parasternal lymph nodes, anterior diaphragmatic lymph nodes, hilar lymph nodes, pancreaticoduodenal ligament lymph nodes, abdominal aortic lymph nodes, respectively, while TBR values were 1.0, 2.8, 5.0, 2.1, 1.1 by 18F-FDG. Conclusions:Al 18F-NOTA-FAPI-04 can be synthesized with short time, high radiochemical yield and good stability using All-in-one module. Al 18F-NOTA-FAPI-04 PET/CT imaging has high contrast and excellent diagnostic efficacy on tumors.

Overexpressing of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters is the essential cause of multidrug resistance (MDR), which is a significant hurdle to the success of chemotherapy in many cancers. Therefore, inhibiting the activity of ABC transporters may be a logical approach to circumvent MDR. Olmutinib is an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), which has been approved in South Korea for advanced EGFR T790M-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Here, we found that olmutinib significantly increased the sensitivity of chemotherapy drug in ABCG2-overexpressing cells. Furthermore, olmutinib could also increase the retention of doxorubicin (DOX) and rhodamine 123 (Rho 123) in ABC transporter subfamily G member 2 (ABCG2)-overexpressing cells. In addition, olmutinib was found to stimulate ATPase activity and inhibit photolabeling of ABCG2 with [I]-iodoarylazidoprazosin (IAAP). However, olmutinib neither altered ABCG2 expression at protein and mRNA levels nor blocked EGFR, Her-2 downstream signaling of AKT and ERK. Importantly, olmutinib enhanced the efficacy of topotecan on the inhibition of S1-MI-80 cell xenograft growth. All the results suggest that olmutinib reverses ABCG2-mediated MDR by binding to ATP bind site of ABCG2 and increasing intracellular chemotherapeutic drug accumulation. Our findings encouraged to further clinical investigation on combination therapy of olmutinib with conventional chemotherapeutic drugs in ABCG2-overexpressing cancer patients.
