This is a review of recent progress in the study on environment sensitive hydrogel based on cyclodextrin and their most recent and relevant applications in the intelligent drug delivery systems. Based on relevant literatures, the development of environment sensitive hydrogel responsive to physical, chemical and biochemical stimuli was introduced, involving their categorization, design principles, mechanism of action and potential application. Various new types of intelligent drug delivery system, which responds to various triggers, could be constructed by using the cyclodextrin-based environment sensitive hydrogel. They made it possible to control the drug release freely. Although these hydrogels are still at their research stage, they have attracted considerable interest in the intelligent drug delivery system.

Acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by non-cardiogenic,acute,progressive and hypoxic respiratory insufficiency or respiratory failure mediated by various internal and external stimuli.The pathogeny of lung injury is varied,pathogenesis is complicated,and it is not clear.Related pathogeny and pathogensis of lung injury is reviewed as follows.

Anticancer drugs resistance is often ascribed to gene mutation,amplification or epigenetic changes that affect the uptake,metabolism or export of drugs at the cell level.Tumor physical microenvironment not only influences the drug distribution but also causes difference in cell proliferation rate and hypoxia or acidosis due to its heterogeneity,which could affect the tumor drug resistance.This review discusses the relationship between cancer physical microenvironment and drug resistance and the strategies for enhancement of the chemotherapy sensitivity through modification of the tumor physical microenvironments,as well as foreground of the research.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the safety and immunological effects of Measles-mumps-rubella(MMR)attenuated live at-tenuated vaccine in children. METHODS:300 children aged 8-12 months receiving inoculation were selected from Changsha Hospi-tal for Maternal and Child Health Care during Jan. 2015-Apr. 2016 to observe safety and immunological effects. Those children were divided into MMR group,measles vaccine group,mumps vaccine group and rubella vaccine group according to vaccine type, with 75 cases in each group. The occurrence of ADR in 72 h were compared among 4 groups after inoculation;venous blood of chil-dren was collected before vaccination and 5 months after vaccination,and the antibody positive test was carried out by micro coagu-lation inhibition (HI) test;HI antibody titer was recorded after immunization,and positive rate and genometric meantiter(GMT) were calculated. RESULTS:The incidence of ADR in 4 groups were 9.33%,8.00%,8.00% and 10.67%,respectively. No local ADR was found in 4 groups;among systemic ADR,the incidence of fever was higher than that of other clinical manifestations,be-ing 4.00%,4.00%,4.00% and 5.33%;there was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR among 4 groups(P>0.05). Measles,mumps and rubella antibody positive rates of MMR group were 100%,92.00% and 100%,respectively;antibody posi-tive rates of measles vaccine group,mumps vaccine group and rubella vaccine group were 100%,85.33% and 100%,respective-ly;there was no statistical significance in same antibody positive rate among 4 groups(P>0.05). GMT of measles in MMR group and measles vaccine group were 1∶41 and 1∶27,that of mumps in MMR group and mumps vaccine group were 1∶6.3 and 1∶6.2, there was no statistical significance (P>0.05);GMT of rubella in MMR group and rubella vaccine group were 1∶320 and 1∶849, with statistical significance (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Compared to traditional single vaccine,MMR dose not increase the inci-dence of ADR and not influence positive rate,but GMT of rubella increases significantly,to which should be paid attention.

BACKGROUND:Stem cells are a kind of cells characterized as species diversity, self-replication and renewal
ability, multiple differentiation potential and high proliferation potential. Then, the stem celltreatment for ischemic brain injury would be of great benefit. Stem celltherapy provides a new way for the treatment of ischemic stroke, but the mechanism is stil unclear.
OBJECTIVE:To describe the types of stem cells and review the mechanism underlying stem celltreatment for ischemic stroke.
METHODS:The first author retrieved PubMed database, Chinese Journal Ful-text Database for articles related to stem cellclassification and effectiveness, safety and mechanism of stem celltherapy for ischemic stroke
published from January 1992 to September 2012. The key words were“stem cells, brain ischemic stroke,
transplantation, treatment”in English and Chinese, respectively. A total of 168 literatures were retrieved, and 61 articles met the inclusion criteria.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Stem celltherapy for ischemic stroke has shown a promising prospect though it is staged in the period of animal models. Stem celltransplantation for promoting functional recovery in the treatment of stroke has been completed in the clinical phase I or phase II trials. Stem celltransplantation for ischemic stroke appears to have no adverse reactions and to promote functional recovery. Main difficulties in stem celltransplantation for treatment of ischemic stroke include sources of stem cells, transplantation approach, stem cellsurvival in the host body, stem cellintegration with the host brain, therapeutic effectiveness and security. Based on the acquired results from the mechanism research and clinical trials, how to safely and quickly apply the stem celltherapy from the experiments to the clinic stil needs to work.

Objective To investigate the incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in essential hypertension patients and the relation between NAFLD and multiple metabolic disorders.Methods Cross-sectional study.Between January 2006 and July 2008,1109 inpatients in Beijing Anzhen hospital diagnosed with essential hypertension were enrolled into this study (542 femal,567 male,mean age 61 ± 11).All patients had ultrasound screening for fatty liver.The prevalence of NAFLD,serum alanine aminotransferase abnormality ratio,the relationship between NAFLD and multiple metabolic abnormalitiesincluding glucose,dyslipidemia,hyperuricemia.471 cases of non-EH as a control group in the same period of admission(216 femal,255 male,mean age 62 ± 10).The measurement data of two groups were compared with t test,while the count data were compared with x2 test.Multiple Logistic regression was used to analysis therisk factors of EH with NAFLD.Results Among 1109 recruited patients,37.3％ (414/1109) had fatty liver by ultrasonography.EH patients were divided into NAFLD group and non-NAFLD group.In EH coexisted with NAFLD group,the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (21.0％ ∶ 10.8％),metabolic syndrome (59.4％ ∶ 44.7％),overweight (71.3％ ∶ 62.9％) and the levels of BMI (26.90 ± 3.66∶ 26.35 ± 3.56),TC (5.30±1.17∶ 5.12 ± 1.09),TG(2.11 ± 1.43∶1.85 ± 1.33),ALT(45.18 ± 37.62∶39.22 ±32.27) were significantly higher than those in the non-NAFLD group (P ＜0.05).HDL-C (1.53 ±0.53∶1.62 ±0.54)was significantly lower than that in the non-NAFLD group (P ＜ 0.05).In non-NAFLD group,prevalence of overweight and the levels of BMI,TC,TG,ALT were signific antly higher than those in non-EH group (P ＜ 0.01).By multivariable logistic regression analysis,diabetes mellitus,hypercholesteremia,hyperuricemia and BMI were risk factors in NAFLD patients with essential hypertension.Conclusion NAFLD was more prevalent in patients with EH complicated with multiple metabolic disorders,such as hyperlipemia and hyperuricemia.

Objective To investigate the dynamic changes of serum interleukin (IL)-1β,tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α,cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 levels in patients with acute gouty arthritis with various severityes and to provide evidence for the course of anti-inflammatory drug used in patients with acute gouty arthritis.Methods Ninety patients with gouty arthritis were randomly selected including sixty acute gouty arthritis patients and thirty gout patients in remission (observation group 3).Sixty acute gouty arthritis patients were divided into severe (observation group 1) and mild (observation group 2) subgroups according to the chief complaints and pain score points (VRS-4 method).All acute gouty arthritis patients were given the same dose and duration of etoricoxib and colchicine (14 days in all).Serum IL-1β,TNF-α,COX-2 levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) after the 1,3,7,10 and 14 days after onset.The 2-tailed independent samples t test was used for the analysis of measurement data.ANOVA were adapted for the comparison between groups.Results The serum levels of IL-1β,TNF-α in the observation group 1,2 were significantly higher than those in the control group in day 1 and 7 (P＜0.01),and almost completely returned to normal at day 10 to 14 day anti-inflammatory therapy.The serum COX-2 levels in observation group 1,2 were significantly higher than those in the control group (P＜0.01) in day 1 to 3,and returned to normal at day 7 to 10 after anti-inflammatory therapy.There were no significant differences between observation group3 and the control group (t=-0.880,-1.201,-0.548; P=0.383,0.235,0.586).② The serum levels of IL-1β,TNF-α were significantly higher in observation group 1 than those in observation group 2 [(24±5) pg/ml and(19±3) pg/ml,(323±84) ng/ml and (234±29) ng/ml; P=0.001,0.002],while there was no significant differences between observation group 2 and the control group (P=0.357).The serum COX-2 levels in observation group 1 were significantly higher than those in observation group 2 at day 7 [(12.9±2.0) pg/ml and (9.1±1.6) pg/ml],while there was no significant difference between observation group 2 and the control group (P=0.941).Conclusion Inflammatory factor can return to normal completely after anti-inflammatory therapy for acute gouty arthritis for 10 to 14 days.This study provides evidence for the course of anti-inflammatory drug used in patients with acute gouty arthritis.
