We prepared gold nanostar (GNS) through seed growth method firstly,then formation of COX-2 siRNA(siCOX-2) and GNS composite modified with polyethylene glyco (PEG),2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucos (DG) and 9-D-arginin (9R) was prepared.Mterwords,paclitaxel temperature sensitive liposome (PTX-TSL) was prepared by film dispersion method.Finally,siCOX-2 delivery systerm (PTX-TSL-(siCOX-2(9R/DG-GNS)))was obtained by hydrosulfuryl ligand reaction between siCOX-2 (9R/DG-GNS) and PTX-TSL The successful build of siCOX-2 (9R/DG-GNS) was vetified by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR),sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacryl amide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE),and ultraviolet spectrophotometry and agarose gel electrophoresis method.Particle size of PTX-TSL-(siCOX-2(9R/DG-GNS)) was (292 ± 14) nm and Zeta potential was about -(2.59 ± 0.12) mV,which were measured by Zetasizer Nano ZS90.The morphology of PTX-TSL-(siCOX-2 (9R/DG-GNS)) measured by transmissionelectronmicroscopy showed homogeneous star structure with phospholipid bilayer on the surface,and it showed good thermal conversion efficiency under radiation of 808 nm laser.Differential scanning calorimetry test showed that PTX-TSL phase transition temperature is about 42.6 ℃.The drug loading content(using dialysis method) and encapsulation efficiency of PTX-TSL were about 7.5% and 95.4%,at the same time,the release process experiment of PTX-TSL showed that it had a good temperature sensitive release performance.It is hopeful that this siCOX-2 system can be used for reducing drug resistance of PTX and improving the treatment effect of PTX through the synergistic antitumor drug resistance effect of siCOX-2.

Objective To investigate the differences in clinical efficacy and safety between thrombolysis followed PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) and primary PCI in patients with acute STEMI (ST elevation myocardial infarction). Methods A total of 215 STEMI patients who visit our clinic within 12 h since onset of their symptoms from May 2013 to January 2015 were enrolled. All eligible patients were divided into Early PCI group(n=68) and pPCI group (n=147) based on whether or not they received injection of recombinant human prourokinase thrombolytic therapy before their visit. Immediate TIMI (Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction) flow grade of infarct-related artery (IRA) before and after PCI treatment, post?operative CTFC (Corrected TIMI Frame Count) and TMPG (TIMI myocardial perfusion grade) were compared between these two groups. The incidence of bleeding during hospital stay , left ventricular function at 6 month after intervention and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were all observed. Rusults There is no obvious difference between the baseline of two groups. Before PCI, the proportion of TIMI grade 2-3 was higher in Early PCI group (77.9%vs 20.4%,P<0.05)than that in pPCI group;but there was no significant difference in the proportion of TIMI grade 2-3 between these two groups after PCI (P>0.05). CTFC and peak value of serum CK-MB were lower [(27.7 ± 5.0) vs (32.6 ± 7.1), P<0.05;(225.8 ± 108.3) U/L vs (283.4 ± 110.6) U/L, P<0.05] and rate of TMPG 3 is higher (82.4%vs 68.7%, P<0.05)in Early PCI group than those in pPCI group. No significant difference was found in the incidence of bleeding and MACE during hospital stay and Left ventric?ular function at 6 months after operation between these two groups. By contrast, LVEFs were higher while LVEDds (LVED diameter) were lower after 3 and 6 months of the intervention compared to those before intervention in both groups (P <0.05). Conclusion It is a safe and effective reperfusion strategy for STEMI patients to receive rhPro-UK thrombolytic thera?py followed early PCI as an alternative way to those who failed to receive pPCI on time. It didn′t increase the occurrence of bleeding complications and MACE, and at the same time it presented the same benefit in improving recent cardiac function as pPCI did.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of recombinant human endostatin(Endostar)combined with platium-contained chemotherapeutic agents in advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)patients over 60 years old.Methods:93 advanced NSCLC patients from January 2019 to June 2021 were selected as the research objects.The patients received three days of continuous intravenous infusion of Endostar(210 mg for 72 hours)combined with platinum-containing chemotherapy.The efficacy and toxicities were evaluated according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors(RECIST)version1.1 and National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events(NCI-CTCAE version 4.0), respectively.Follow-up data were obtained to perform the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.Results:In our study, the objective remission rate(ORR)and disease control rate(DCR)were 38.7% and 78.5%, respectively.The median progression-free survival(PFS)and overall survival(OS)were 6.8 months and 16.5 months, respectively.A Multivariate analysis showed that tumor staging and TP53 mutation were independent prognostic factors related to PFS and OS in advanced NSCLC patients.Adverse reactions related to Endostar during treatment included arrhythmia in 2 cases(2.2%), myocardial ischemia in 1 case(1.07%)and bloody sputum in 1 case(1.07%), all of which were Grade 1 or Grade 2.Conclusions:The application of three days continuous intravenous infusion of Endostar combined with platium-contained chemotherapeutic agents is worthy to be recommended for clinical application in elderly patients with advanced NSCLC due to its high effective rate and survival advantage, as well as good safety.

Objective:
To analyze the anatomical structure and distribution of the fused renal pyramid (FRP) in cadaveric kidney, and discuss its appearances by CT and ultrasonic examinations.
Methods:
From June 2018 to September 2018, 108 cadaveric kidneys were proceeded for regional anatomy. The distribution and anatomical manifestations of FRP was recorded. The renal pyramid was sliced and HE stained to explore the vascular distribution in FRP. From October 2018 to January 2019, ultrasound imaging data of 112 patients with 224 kidneys were collected, including 60 males and 52 females, age (39.0±15.1), ranging from 16 to 73 years old. The renal imaging data of 89 patients and 178 patients with enhanced renal CT were collected, including 48 males and 41 females. Age (45.4±13.6), ranging from 23 to 69 years old. The imaging findings of FRP in ultrasound and enhanced CT was summarized.
Results:
In cadaver kidneys, the proportion of FRP in upper and lower calyces was 68.6% (74/108) and 64.8% (70/108), respectively, higher than that in middle calyces 34.3% (37/108). In the middle group, the incidence of mild fusion was 39.0% (16/41) and severe fusion was 48.8% (20/41). The incidence of fusion of two renal pyramidal structures was 90.2% (37/41). HE staining showed that the boundary between the artery in FRP and the surrounding renal pyramidal was unclear, and the protection of connective tissue was lacking. In Ultrasound, the FRP presented as a large trapezoidal hypo-echoic area with red and blue color signals in doppler mode. In ultrasound, the incidence of FRP was 18.8% (42/224). In enhanced CT, the FRP presented as enhanced cord-like high density shade in large low density area in cortex phase. In enhanced CT, the incidence of FRP 27.5%(49/178).
Conclusions
The FRP is a common structure in human kidney. The arteries localize within the FRP and are absence of sufficient connective tissue protection which are different from normal arteries. Ultrasound and enhanced CT have recognition ability for FRP.
