Objective To preparemicroRNA-34 a loaded liposome and evaluate the targeting efficiency for lung cancer stem cells and effect on the treatment of lung cancer. Method The liposomes were prepared by thin film hydration method. The particle size,Zeta potential and entrapment efficiency were evaluated. Stability of liposome in serum was evaluated. The efficiency of cellular uptake on lung cancer stem cells in vitro was evaluated. The anti-proliferation efficiency of miLPs-34 a was evaluated by MTT assay. Tumor spheroids were used to evaluate anti-tumor ability of miLPs-34 a. Lung cancer stem cells were used to build orthotopictumor model, which were used to evaluate the effect of anti-cancer. Results The particle diameter of the miLPs-34 a was (136.55±11.4) nm with the Zeta potential of (21.45±4.55) mV. The entrapment efficiency of microRNA-34 awas 94.6%.the results demonstrated that the liposomes could keep stable in 50%serum for 24 h. miLPs-34 a uptaken by lung cancer stem cells were 3.1 times higher than that of microRNA-34 a(P<0.01). The MTT assay confirmed strong inhibitory effect of miLPs-34 a than microRNA-34 a(P<0.01). the inhibition of tumor spheroid confirmed strong inhibitory effect of miLPs-34 a than microRNA-34 a(P<0.01). The anti-tumor of miLPs-34 a was much more effectively than microRNA-34 a(P<0.01).Conclusion the microRNA-34 a loaded liposome could target to lung cancer stem cells and inhibit the proliferation of lung cancer stem cell. MiLPs-34 a, as a new nanometer drug, has a special application value for the therapy of lung cancer stem cell.

Diphtheria is an ancient disease.Since the implementation of enhanced program of immunization by WHO in 1978,the global incidence of diphtheria decreased sharply.There were no diphtheria cases reported in recent years in China,but there were still diphtheria cases and outbreak reported in surrounding countries.It is necessary to strengthen the laboratory diagnosis of diphtheria in China to prevent the recurrence and for early detection of emergent and imported diphtheria cases.Here in this review,the laboratory diagnosis of diphtheria and its progress were summarized.

Objective To evaluate the similarity of dissolution profiles of self-produced and original drug cefuroxime axetil tab-lets.Methods Based on the dissolution detection method in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia,the dissolution behaviors of the self-pro-duced preparation and original drug were investigated in pure water,0.1 mol/L hydrochloric acid,0.05 mol/L hydrochloric acid, pH4.5 and pH6.8 medium and the rotation speed of 50,25,75 r/mim.The stripping curves were evaluated by the f2 factor method. Results In the rotation speed of 50 r/min,the f2 factors in different mediums were 57.65,79.17,73.56,66.83 and 62.33 respec-tively;the medium was 0.1 mol/L hydrochloric acid with the rotation speed of 25,75 r/min,the f2 factors were 65.35 and 78.48 re-spectively.Conclusion The stripping curves of self-produced preparation and original drug are similar under various conditions.

Objective To study the risk factors for cognitive impaurment in obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) patients with ischemic stroke.Methods Three hundred and twenty-eight OSAHS patients with ischemic stroke were divided into cognitive impairment group (n=158) and cognitive impairment-free group (n=170) according to their MMSE score.The risk factors for their cognitive impairment were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression analysis and stratification analysis respectively.Results The blood glucose and lipid,AHI,LSaO2,infarction size and site,HIF-1 and Ngb level were significantly different between the two groups (P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that blood glucose and lipid,AHI,infarction site and Ngb level were the independent risk factors for cognitive impairment (OR=3.527,95％CI:1.559-7.983,P=0.002;OR=6.413,95 ％CI:2.766-14.865,P=0.000;OR=4.099,95％CI:1.694-9.918,P=0.002;OR=4.484,95％CI:1.950-10.310,P=0.000;OR=3.891,95 ％CI:1.759-8.606,P=0.001).Stratification analysis showed that high HIF-1 and Ngb levels were positively related with cognitive impairment in patients with AHI＞20 times/h,frontotemporal infarction,hyperglycosemia or hypoglycosemia,and dyslipidemia.Conclusion High HIF-1 and Ngb levels are independently related with cognitive impairment in OSAHS patients with ischemic stroke.

BACKGROUND:An animal model of myocardial infarction is of great significance for the study of the pathogenesis, pathophysiology and evaluation of treatment methods of human coronary artery disease. Many researchers aim to improve survival rate and the success rate of model induction.
OBJECTIVE:To improve the method of making a rat model of myocardial infarction.
METHODS:One hundred Wistar rats were divided into model group (n=80) and sham-operated group (n=20). The rats were intraperitoneal y anesthetized with 3%sodium pentobarbital. Tracheostomy was operated. An automatic breathing apparatus was utilized for assisted breathing. A left anterior thoracotomy was performed at the fourth intercostal space. The left anterior descending coronary artery was ligated. Sham-operated rats underwent similar surgery but without coronary artery ligation. The thoracic cavity was closed layer by layer. The breathing apparatus was removed and tracheal intubation was also removed. To prevent suffocation, the trachea and the neck incision were not closed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Heart morphology and hematoxylin-eosin staining demonstrated that the success rate of establishing myocardial infarction model was 98.6%. The survival rate of model group at 3 weeks after surgery was 88.75%. Total y nine rats died, including seven dead rats during operation and within 24 hours after operation, and two dead rats in later stage. The survival rate of the sham-operated group was 100%. We modified the method of establishing a rat model of myocardial infarction and improved the operation success rate and survival rate of rats, such as anesthesia method, longitudinal incision during tracheotomy, without closing the trachea after operation, and the method of opening and closing the chest.

BACKGROUND:Traditional treatment of tibia and fibula fractures complicated with skin soft tissue defect is mainly external fixation, wound debridement and dressing plus skin graft or skin flap transplantation after the infection is control ed and granulation grow. This method is disadvantageous due to high cost, great pain, long hospitalization stay, infection and necrosis, even the possibility of amputation.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the clinical efficacy of vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) and external fixator in the treatment of tibia and fibula open fractmes complicated with skin defects.
METHODS:A total of 38 patients with severe open fractures of tibia and fibula complicated with skin defects were selected from Benxi Central Hospital between January 2009 and September 2013. The size of skin defects was more than 5 cm2. After external fixation, the patients underwent complete debridement and dressing, fol owed by VSD treatment for 5-7 days. After granulation tissue grew and the wound became fresh, the patients received intermedite thickness skin graft. And 15 cases treated without VSD were retrospectively selected, serving as control group. The infection control rate and wound healing time in the two groups were compared.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After 5-7 days of VSD treatment, VSD dressings were removed, wound infection was control ed, local wound granulation tissue was fresh. Both the wound and fractures were healed wel , no osteomyelitis or amputation occurred. Among the involved 38 patients, 23 cases were cured, 12 cases were effective, and three cases were ineffective. The total effective rate showed significant differences compared with the control group (92%vs. 53%;P<0.05). VSD can completely remove the wound secretions and necrotic tissue, improve local microcirculation, eliminate the infection, VSD plus external fixator and skin grating is a simple and effective method in treatment of tibia and fibula open fractures with soft tissue defects.

Objective To analyze the clinical methods of type Ⅲ Pilon fracture internal fixation. Methods The internal fixation with steel plate were performed in 36 cases with Ruedi-AllgoWer type, Ⅲ Pilon fracture and all patients had early post-operative rehabilitation functional exercise. Results Thirty-six cases were followed up for an average period of 16 months. The fracture healed completely in all cases and the successful rates of good function reached 88.9% (32/36) according to YU Guang-rong's evaluation standard. Conclusion For Ruedi-AUgower type Ⅲ Pilon fracture, appropriate surgical time combined with internal fixation with steel plate and early post-operative function exercise showed satisfactory therapeutic effect.
