Objective Daidzein solid dispersions were prepared by solid dispersion technology to improve in vitro dissolution rate. Methods Daidzein solid dispersions were prepared by solvent method using polyvinyl pyrrolidone K30 ( PVP K30) as carrier.The in vitro dissolution characteristics of solid dispersions were evaluated,and the properties were detected by IR and XRD. Results The dissolution rates of different mass ratio of daidzein-PVP solid dispersion were significantly improved compared with that of daidzein API.The cumulative dissolution of solid dispersion with mass ratio of 1∶6 within 30 minutes was up to 87.8%,equivalent to six times of API. The in vitro drug release kinetics were fitted mathematically to Korsemeyer-Peppas model. Conclusion Solid dispersion with PVP K30 as carrier could significantly improve dissolution rate of daidzein.

ObjectiveTo study the dose and time effects of X-ray radiation on the expression of Pokemon gene and protein in human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549.MethodsA549 cells was exposed to different doses of X-ray (2,4,6 and 8 Gy),and the expression of Pokemon mRNA and protein of the cells was detected by using Quantitative real-time PCR and western-blotting at 2,4,8,12,24,and 48 h after irradiation. 3-( 4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl )-2,5-diphenyltetrazoliumbromidewasused to detectthe proliferation of A549 cells at 1,2,3,4,and 5 d after 2 Gy X-ray irradiation.The mock treated A549 cells were used as the control.ResultsThe expression of Pokemon mRNA trended to decrease after irradiated with 4,6 and 8 Gy in the earlier period and increased in the later period with statistical difference at the most time points (t =3.40 -154.76,P =0.000 -0.041 ).The expression of Pokemon protein trended to increase and reached the peak at 8 h after irradiated of 2,4,6 and 8 Gy with statistical difference at the most time points ( t =4.18 - 89.64,P =0.000 - 0.039).Compared with the control,the proliferation of A549 cells was significantly inhibited during 3 to 5 d after irradiation of 2 Gy ( t =2.34 - 18.19,P =0.000 -0.040).ConclusionsX-ray irradiation may increase the expression of Pokemon mRNA and protein in A549 cells,which might be correlated with radiation-resistance of A549 cells.

Objective To analyze the nursing interventions of two kinds of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL),so that we can provide personalized service for patients with PCNL and improved quality of nursing. Methods 140 cases of patients undergoing PCNL were chosen from January 2010 to January 2012.70 of them received standard PCNL,another 70 cases were given tubeless PCNL.The same nursing method was given before the operation,and personalized nursing was given according to difference in operation method.A self-designed questionnaire was conducted for satisfaction degree with nursing service of all patients on discharge. Results Satisfaction degree with psychological care,catheter nursing and complication nursing of tubeless PCNL was higher than standard PCNL. Conclusions Two methods of PCNL have become conventional therapy for upper urinary calculus,and careful nursing is very important,especially for tubeless PCNL.

Objective To investigate the location,fine structure of melanocytes in human fetal scalp hair follicles.Methods The scalp with hair follicles was obtained from a dead fetus of 6 months of age,and divided into two parts.One part was embedded in paraffin,tissue sections were prepared with a width of 7 μm and stained with NKI/beteb,monoclonal antibodies to HMB-45,tyrosinase and tyrosinase-related protein 1(TRP1),respectively.The other part with hair follicles was treated with collagenase type Ⅱ 0.1 g/L and trypsin,then,cell suspension was collected and cultured.After 14-day culture,follicle melanocyte cells (FMC)were separated from keratinocytes by differential trypsinization,and fibroblasts were removed with geneticin.Following three times of pure passage,FMC were seeded and fixed on mica for scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and atomic force microscope(AFM)scanning.Results Histopathological examination showed that NKI/beteb positive cells located at the outer root sheath of human hair follicles,and these cells stained negatively for HMB-45,tyrosinase and TRP1 antibodies.However,in the hair bulb,lots of cells expressed HMB-45,tyrosinase and TRP1 antigens.After fibroblasts and keratinocytes were removed,two kinds of melanocytes remained in the culture:one was small in number and showed abundant melanin,which was lost after subsequent passage;the othgr was large in number and had no melanin initially,but proliferated very rapidly.After three passages,almost all the melanocytes were positive for NKI/beteb.As SEM and AFM showed,most cultured melanocytes appeared fusiform with two(rarely three)dendrites,and the cell body was round or oval with a few melanosomes scattered in but no clear secondary branches on the dendrites.Conclusions The melanocytes in outer root sheath of hair follicles from the fetal scalp are presumed as melanocyte stem cells or their progenies.In vitro,these cells proliferate very rapidly during early phases,but the morphology and function of them still remain immature,which is unfavorable for melanosome transport.

Objective: Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD) is an X-linked lethal recessive disease caused by mutations in the dystrophy gene. There is no efficient treatment for this serious and disabling disease. We established a combination method to detect carriers and perform prenatal diagnosis. Methods: In our study, from 1994 to 2005, using a different combination of 5 methods, including SRY gene amplification, multiplex PCR, multiplex Fluorescence PCR capillary electrophoresis, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) and linkage analysis of short tandem repeats (STR), 36 prenatal diagnosis were performed for pregnancies at risk of having a DMD/BMD baby through amniocentesis. Results: Fourteen out of 21 male fetuses were found to be affected and respective pregnancies were terminated. A combined diagnostic rate of 83% was achieved for 30 cases with deletions, duplications, and non-deletion mutations after tested by more than one method. Conclusion: Using a combined method, we can diagnoses patients and carriers in DMD families, and perform prenatal diagnosis for the risk fetus. MLPA provides a simple, rapid and accurate method for deletions and duplications of all the 79 DMD exons. MLPA method for DMD diagnosis is the first report in our country.

HSA was used as an intermedi-ary to conjugate MTX with IVIG. The indirect immunofluorescence was adopted to test the binding abilityof Fc fragment. MTT assay was used to measure the cytotoxicity of conjugation on phagocytes. Results:Conjugation showed stronger cytotoxicity upon target cells than free MTX,and it showed only less cyto-toxic effect on Fc receptor negative cells compared with the positive ones. The specific cytotoxicity of IVIG-HSA-MTX was significantly stronger than that of MTX. Conclusion: In vitro the conjugation showed ahighly specific cytotoxicity upon phagocytes.

Objective To assess the association of Haptoglobin(Hp) polymorphism with acute coronary syndrome(ACS) in Chinese. Method A total of 112 patients with ACS including 57 patients with acute myocardial infarction and 55 patients with unstable angina pectoris confirmed with angiography and 121healthy controls were recruited in this study. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was utilized to genotype Hpl and Hp2 alleles and genotype frequencies in cases and controls were compared. All polymorphisms were test of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in both groups separately. The differences of genotypes and alleles between two groups were analyzed with x2 test. The association between Hp polymorphism and the risk of ACS was estimated by odds ratio (OR) and their 95% confidence intervals (95% CI), and the comprehensive evaluation of the factors associated with ACS were determined by using multivariate logistic regression analysis. P ＜0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results The frequency of Hp2-2 genotype was significantly higher in ACSs than in controls (0. 571 vs. 0. 355, P = 0. 001; OR = 2. 419, 95% CI:1. 427 ～4. 100), multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicates that Hp2-2 genotype is an independent risk factor to ACS (P = 0.002; OR = 2.557,95% CI: 1. 392 - 4.637). Similarly, the Hp2 allele frequency in ACS groups was significantly higher than that in the control subjects (0. 759 vs. 0. 616, P =0.001; OR = 1. 965,95% CI 1. 316 ～2. 934). Conclusion The Hp2-2 genotype is associated with ACS in Chinese. Hp2-2 genotype may be an independent risk factor to ACS, and Hp2 allele may be a genetic susceptibility factor to ACS in Chinese.
