To improve the solubility of quercetin ( QT) , one of flavonoids that can inhibit the proliferation of vari-ous types of cancer cells, the novel amphiphilic polymer N-( 4-methylimidazole)-hydroxyethyl-chitosan ( MHC) , synthetized by chemical derivatization from chitosan, was used as the self-assembly micelles of QT. The formed polymer was characterized by 1 H NMR, elemental analysis and pyrene fluorescence spectrometry. The formulation of MHC micelles loading quercetin was optimized through single factor experiment. Then the optimized formulation was obtained as follows:the concentration of MHC was 0. 67% and the ratio of drug and carrier was 1 ∶10. The micelles particle size was ( 99. 21 ± 1. 71) nm, Zeta potential was +( 20. 01 ± 0. 72) mV and drug loading was ( 5. 42 ± 0. 32 )%. The in vitro release curve was investigated and was found to conform to Higuchi equation of Q=0. 1101 t1/2 -0. 064. The results of in vivo experiment showed that the mean rentention time and bioavail-ability of the MHC-QT micelles were 21. 42 h and 57. 49 μg h/mL, respectively, compared to 0. 30 h and 2. 50 μg h/mL of the free QT solution. These indicated that the MHC micelles could significantly improve the solubility of QT, the drug sustained-release effect and bioavailability, which would used as carrier for the anti-tumor drugs.

Objective:To observe the clinical effects of extraoral manual reposition approach in the treatment of acute anterior disloca-tion of temporomandibular joint. Methods:98 patients with acute anterior dislocation of temporomandibular joint were divided into 2 groups(n=49) by random digit table and treated by manual reposition through intraoral and extraoral approach respectively. The suc-cess rate, success time, patient pain during treatment, SBP, DBP, HR and patient satisfaction were evaluated respectively. Results:The success rate(95. 92%) and the patient satisfaction rate(76%) of extraoral method group were higher than those of the intraoral method group (81. 63% and 66%);success time(3. 91 ± 0. 55)s and patient pain during treatment(3. 51 ± 0. 25) in extraoral method group were less than those in the intraoral method group[(5. 57 ± 0. 51) s and (6. 6 ± 0. 21)]. The degree of changes of SBP, DBP and HR in extraoral method group were less than those in the intraoral method group(P<0. 05). Conclusion:Extraoral manual reposi-tion approach is more effective than intraoral approach in the treatment of acute anterior dislocation of temporomandibular joint.

AIM: To investigate the vasorelaxant effect and mechanism of EtOAc extract from Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat (CME). METHODS: The effects of CME on the contraction of rat thoracic a orta were examined. RESULTS: CME caused concentration-dependent relaxation of aorta rings precontricted with phenylephrine and K+. The effect in endothelium-intac t aorta was more effective than that in endothelium-deduced aorta. NG-nitro-L- arginine methylester, methylene blue and glibenclamide attenuated the effect of C ME significantly. However, indomethacin, propranolol, tetraethylammonium, BaCl 2, 4-aminopyridine and 5-hydroxydecanoate did not affect CME effect. The effect of SKF-525A combined with L-NAME had no obvious difference with that of L-NAME o n CME-induced relaxation. NOS activity in aorta was increased markedly by CME in vitro. CME did not reduced the contraction elicited by PE in Ca 2+-f ree medium, but reduced the contraction induced by PE in K+-free solution or C a 2+ free following input Ca 2+. CONCLUSION: CME induces both endothelium-dependent and independe nt relaxation. NO and cGMP are likely involved in the endothelium-dependent rela xation, inhibition of voltage-dependent or receptor-operate Ca 2+ channel a nd activation of ATP-sensitive K+ channel contribute in part to the endotheliu m-independent relaxation by CME.

Objective To explore the spatial-temporal characteristics and changing regularities of Schistosoma japonicum in-fections among human from 2004 to 2011. Methods The township level spatial databases of schistosomiasis in Hunan Province from 2004 to 2011 were established,and the related spatial analysis was performed by SPSS 17.0,ArcGIS 10.1 and SaTScan 7.03. Results The schistosome infection rate among human in Hunan Province sharply decreased from 3.0%in 2004 to 0.8%in 2011. However,the rate among residents in parts of some townships in 2011 was still hovering at a higher level (P90=2.12%),and the higher rate was distributed along the Oncomelania hupensis snail ridden areas outside embankment. The auto-correlation analysis showed that the global Moran's I for schistosome infection rate among human was 0.34 to 0.53 from 2004 to 2011,and was higher than the expected value(Z>8.71,P<0.05). The local G statistics indicated that the positive hotspot high-high clustering areas were mainly near the coast of Dongting Lake from 2004 to 2011,and the number of townships with schistosomiasis endemic in the clustering areas reached 30 to 70. The spatial scan analysis showed that the number of townships in the clustering areas ran up to 145 to 183 from 2004 to 2011. Conclusions The schistosome infection rate among human de-creased significantly in Hunan Province from 2004 to 2011. However,the rate in parts of some townships still remains at a com-paratively high level,and there are positive spatial correlation and spatial agglomerations in the schistosome infection rate among human,suggesting that the prevention and control work on schistosomiasis in these areas should be strengthened in the fu-ture.
