Object To develop an improved RP-HPLC method for determining ferulic acid in the human serum. Methods The determination was carried on RP-HPLC, using Kromasil-C 18column, methanol-water-acetic acid (36.4∶63∶0.6) as mobile phase with a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and at the detection wavelength of 322 nm, and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde was used as internal standard. The serum sample was deproteinized with acetonitrile to extract ferulic acid. Results The calibration curve showed good linearity over the range of 9.94-159.04 ng/mL (r=0.992 5). RSD was less than 10% within day and day-to-day, the average recovery was 99.77% and the minimal concentration in serum was 5 ng/mL. Conclusion This method, which is simple, rapid, sensitive, reproducible and low toxic, is appropriate for the quantitative determination of ferulic acid in the human serum.

Objective To detect the independently designed synthetic peptide adsorbed to the titanium surface and its inhibitory effect on streptococcus gordonii, and to provide a new means for antibiosis reseach on oral implants. Methods The physical and chemical properties of the synthetic peptide and antimicrobial peptide were measured by ExPASy Prot?Param tool, ProtScale analysis, circular dichroism and Zeta potential instrument. The synthetic peptide was anchored on the surface of the titanium specimen through incubation at room temperature. The adsorption of the synthetic peptide to the titani?um surface was examined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and the atomic force microscope (AFM). The inhibitory effect on streptococcus gordonii of the synthetic peptide fixed on the titanium surface was viewed by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The destructive effects of the synthetic peptide and the antimicrobial peptide on streptococcus gordonii were observed through the transmission electron microscope (TEM). Results The independently designed synthetic peptide still had the physical and chemical properties that the antimicrobial peptide desired. The synthetic peptide had already been detected on the titanium surface after incubated in a 5 g/L synthetic peptide solution. The titanium specimen fixed with the synthetic peptide inhibited the survival and adhesion of streptococcus gordonii. Conclusion It suggests that the indepen?dently designed synthetic peptide might have reached the goal of bacterial inhibition on the titanium surface.

Although it has been frequently used to treat thoraxic tumors,radiation induced lung injury (RILI) is the major factor of dose limitation in thoracic radiotherapy.Amount of endogenous and exogenous reactive oxygen / nitrogen species (ROS/RNOS) could be generated in the radiated organisms and further cause molecular damage of DNA,protein and membrane lipids,which results in celluar structure damage,dysfunction and RILI.In addition,a series of cytokines could also induce chronic oxidative stresses that contribute to increases in cell membrane permeability,tissue edema and extracellular matrix proteins accumulation and even further result in pulmonary fibrosis.Oxidative stress theory offers new clues and strategies for further understanding the mechanism of RILI,and some anti-oxidative stress drugs may have potential clincial application in RILI treatment.

AIM: To estimate the pooled prevalence of myopia among primary school students in mainland China during 1980- 2013. Myopia had become a growing public health issue, with high prevalence rates in mainland China, particularly among children. However, we still had no population-based nationwide studies of the prevalence of myopia among primary school students in recent years. METHODS: Wanfang, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure and PubMed databases were searched independently until Dec. 31, 2013 to identify relevant articles. Data from the eligible articles were extracted by two reviewers. All of the data analyses were conducted using Meta-Analyst software (version 3. 13, USA).
RESULTS: Thirty - seven eligible studies published between 1980 and 2013 were selected with a total of 245248 individuals. The pooled prevalence of myopia among the included individuals was 26. 5% (95% CI: 21. 8% -31. 7%). The prevalence of myopia increased with age (from 8. 4%at 6-8y to 57. 4% at 12-14y).
CONCLUSION: The pooled prevalence of myopia among primary school students in mainland China was much higher than that of western countries or regions. The prevalence of myopia increased with age among primary school students. This study should be valuable for myopia prevention and treatment in mainland China.

Lipoproteins are biological lipids carriers. The natural and reconstituted lipoprotein based drug delivery systems have been extensively developed in recent years. This article reviews the development of natural and reconstituted low-density lipoprotein and high-density lipoprotein based vehicles in the antitumor area.

Objective To verify whether miR-498 can inhibit A549 cell migration and invasion by down-regulating FOXM1.Methods miR-498 mimic and miR-NC were transfected into A549 cells.Wound healing and Transwell method were employed to test the migratory ability and invasion ability of A549 cells;Western blot was used to detect the expressions of COL1A1,COL1A5 and FOXM1 in A549 cells.Luciferase assay was used to confirm whether FOXM1 is the target gene of miR-498.Results Compared with those in the control group,the expressions of COL1A1,COL1A5 and FOXM1 were decreased,and the migration and invasion abilities of A549 cells were decreased in the miR-498 group (both P<0 .01 ).The luciferase activity of the FOXM1-3′-UTR plasmid was significantly suppressed by miR-498 (P<0 .05 );over-expression of FOXM1 could reverse the effect of miR-498 on A549 cells.Conclusion miR-498 inhibits A549 cell migration and invasion by down-regulating FOXM1.
