PEG-modified magnetic Fe3O4 (Fe3O4-PEG) nanoparticles were sythesized using a solvothermal reaction and characterized with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). The photothermal effect and photothermal destruction of cancer cells were evaluated. Then the doxorubicin loaded Fe3O4-PEG (DOX-Fe3O4-PEG) nanoparticles were prepared. The cytotoxicity and combined chemotherapy/photothermal therapy (PTT) effect were investigated. Uniform PEG coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles with particle size of 155 nm were obtained in the experiment. The loading and release of doxorubicin on Fe3O4-PEG were pH-dependent. The drug loading capacity in water was 21%. The results of MTT indicated a good biocompatiblity of Fe3O4-PEG nanoparticles and high cytotoxicity of DOX-Fe3O4-PEG. In combined therapy experiment, photothermal therapy demonstrated unambiguously enhanced chemotherapy efficacy. In conclusion, the obtained Fe3O4-PEG nanoparticles which exhibit good photothermal effect and drug loading capacity can be used for chemotherapy and photothermal therapy. The synergetic anti-tumor activity indicates the potential for the combined application of chemotherapy and photothermal therapy in cancer treatment.

Objective To investigate the mechanism responsible for the malignant progressionof meningiomas at the protein level using tissue microarray technique. Methods Twenty-twointracranial meningioma tissue microarrays were constructed, each containing the tissues of 42 benign, 18atypical, and 19 anaplastic meningiomas. Immunohistochcmistry of the microarrays was performed induplicate with the antibodies of MYC, ARNT2, MDM2, AR, ER, PR, Ki-67, P53, survivin, CD34 andVEGF, respectively. Negative control microarrays were used throughout the experiment and breast cancertissue microarrays were used as the positive controls for ER and PR staining. SAS9.0 solfware was usedfor grading of the expression levels of the biomarkers according to the WHO grades of meningiomas.Results For each antibody, the duplicate tissue microarrays yielded uniform staining results invisualization of the protein distributions in the cytoplasm and nuclei, and the negative controls displayedno positive staining. The p53, AR, ER, PR and Ki-67 proteins were found only in the cell nuclei, MDM2in both the cytoplasm and nuclei, and ARNT2, CD34 and VEGF in the cytoplasm only. The c-MYC andsurvivin proteins were found mainly in the cytoplasm, and in some instances in both the cytoplasm andcell nuclei. Immunohistochemical staining for p53, AR, CD34, Ki-67 and MYC proteins showed strongcorrelations to the degree of malignancy of the meningioma (P<0.05). Conclusions Tissue microarrayand immunohistochemical techniques provide an efficient means for screening the specific biomatkers ofmeningiomas. The expressions of p53, AR, CD34, Ki-67 and MYC proteins are involved in the malignantprogression of meningioma, and these proteins may serve as important biomarkers for meningiomagrading at the protein level.

ObjectiveTo investigate the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases and the pharmacological effects of Shen-wu Capsule.MethodsSD rats were divided into 6 groups with 10 rats each:model group was developed by peritoneal injection of 3-nitropropionic acid(3-NPA) 20mg/kg, once every another day. Haloferidoli was used as the positive drug (given to positive control group from 10μg/100g/day to 100μg/100g/day, during modeling). Low dose of Shen-wu Capsule is 0.45g/kg; middle dose of Shen-wu Capsule is 0.9g/kg; high dose of Shen-wu Capsule is 1.8g/kg (once a day for 25days). The rats in normal control group were peritoneally injected with saline and were fed with water.The open field test was used to test the space recognition ability and excitability of CNS of rats. The climbing test was used to test strength of muscles.The content of dopamine(DA) and it's metabolite dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC),5-HT in stratium of all groups were detected by high performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC-ECD).ResultsThe 3-NPA model rats showed decrease of activity, rigidity and stagger just like clinical patients with Huntington's diseases. In open field test all indexes of 3-NPA model rats are decreased (P<0.05), while Shen-wu Capsule low dose and high dose can improve all the indexes. There is no difference in strength of muscles among all groups. The content of DA,DOPAC and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) were distinctly decreased in 3-NPA model rats(P<0.01); rats in three groups of Shen-wu Capsule and positive drug control groups showed increased content of these neurotransmitter(P<0.01). Conclusions Rats injected with 3-NPA can mimic the abnormal behaviors and changes of neurotransmitter in stratium of Huntington's patients, Shen-wu Capsule can ameliorate the behavior of model animals and improve the content of DA,DOPAC and 5-HT in stratium.
