BACKGROUND:The cross-linking reagent is the main unit to support the skeleton of molecularly imprinted polymers, which is closely related to the bio-friendly adaption of polymers. The biocompatible and biodegradable capacities of common crosslinking agents are unclear.
OBJECTIVE:To prepare a novel biodegradable molecularly imprinted polymer and to evaluate the adsorption and biodegradability properties of the polymer.
METHODS:The biodegradable molecularly imprinted polymer was synthesized with the acrylated polyε-caprolactone as the cross-linking reagent under the UV polymerization. The adsorption of the polymer was evaluated by adsorption isotherm, Scatchard analysis and kinetic curves. The biodegradation of the polymer was observed in the simulated physiological environment system in vitro.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Both the molecularly imprinted polymer and non-molecularly imprinted polymer showed an adsorption effect on theophyl ine, the template. But the adsorption amount of the molecularly imprinted polymer was significantly more than that of the non-molecularly imprinted polymer. The drug loading and encapsulation efficiency of the molecularly imprinted polymer were 1.54%and 12.48%, respectively. The degradation rates of molecularly imprinted polymer and poly(ε-caprolactone) diol were 6.60%and 1.33%, respectively, within the observation time in vitro. The obtained molecularly imprinted polymer not only exhibited specific adsorption to certain molecules but also showed good biodegradable properties in the simulated physiological environment system, which is necessary to be a potent drug carrier.

An on-line solid phase extraction-high performance liquid chromatography ( SPE-HPLC ) system was applied in the plasma pharmacokinetic study of highly active anti-cancer compound tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TEB-415) in mouse. The on-line SPE-HPLC method associated with Ultimate3000 system which was applied to the determination of the blood drug level of TEB-415 in mouse plasma. C18 column ( Venusil MP, 150 mm × 4. 6 mm, 5μm) was used as analytical column and the mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-5 mmol/L monopotassium phosphate buffer ( pH 3 . 5 ) at a flow rate of 1 . 0 mL/min was used as the isocratic elution. An MF Ph-1 column (10 mm×4 mm, 5 μm) was used as on-line SPE column, and water and water-acetonitrile were used as the washing solvent and elution solvent respectively. The detection wavelength was set at 262 nm. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by WinNonlin 5. 2 software. The linear range of the calibration curve was between 100 and 20000 μg/L, and the limit of qualification was 20 μg/L. The extraction recovery was between 90 . 5% and 94 . 6%. The RSD of intra-day and inter-day precision was less than 3. 5%. The accuracy of short-term stability, freeze-thaw stability and long-term stability were between 91. 49% and 101. 96%. After oral medication, the mean peak time (Tmax) of TEB-415 in mice was 5. 29 h, and the mean maximum concentration ( Cmax) was 3403μg/L. The area under the curve ( AUC) of TEB-415 was 24600 μg/L·h. This drug's mean half-life was 3. 84 h, and its mean retention time (MRT) was 6. 56 h. These parameters suggested that TEB-415 had appropriate rate of absorption and elimination with preferable bioavailability.

Objective:To investigate the azole susceptibility of Candida albicans (C. albicans) from vulvovaginal candidosis patients and to analyze the relationship between ERG11 gene mutations in these isolates and azole resistance.
Methods:Three hundred and two clinical isolates of Candida species were collected. Azole susceptibility was tested in vitro in microdilution studies. The ERG11 genes of 17 isolates of C. albicans (2 susceptibles, 5 dose-dependent resistants and 10 resistants) were amplified and sequenced.
Results:Of the 302 isolates collected, 70.2%were C. albicans, of which 8.5%, 3.8%and 4.2%were resistant to fluconazole, itraconazole and voriconazole, respectively. In total, 27 missense mutations were detected in ERG11 genes from resistant/susceptible dose-dependent isolates. Among them, Y132H, A114S, and Y257H substitutions were most prevalent and were known to cause fluconazole resistance. G464S and F72S also has been proved to cause fluconazole resistance. Two novel substitutions (T285A, S457P) in hotspot regions were identified.
Conclusions:Twenty seven mutations in the ERG11 gene were identified in azole-resistant C. albicans isolates, which indicated a possible relation with the increase in resistance to azole drugs and the recurrence of vulvovaginal candidosis. The relationship of two novel substitutions (T285A, S457P) with fluconazole resistance needs to be further verified by site-directed mutagenesis.

BACKGROUNDOld pelvis fractures are among the most challenging fractures to treat because of their complex anatomy, difficult-to-access surgical sites, and the relatively low incidence of such cases. Proper evaluation and surgical planning are necessary to achieve the pelvic ring symmetry and stable fixation of the fracture. The goal of this study was to assess the use of three-dimensional (3D) printing techniques for surgical management of old pelvic fractures.
METHODSFirst, 16 dried human cadaveric pelvises were used to confirm the anatomical accuracy of the 3D models printed based on radiographic data. Next, nine clinical cases between January 2009 and April 2013 were used to evaluate the surgical reconstruction based on the 3D printed models. The pelvic injuries were all type C, and the average time from injury to reconstruction was 11 weeks (range: 8-17 weeks). The workflow consisted of: (1) Printing patient-specific bone models based on preoperative computed tomography (CT) scans, (2) virtual fracture reduction using the printed 3D anatomic template, (3) virtual fracture fixation using Kirschner wires, and (4) preoperatively measuring the osteotomy and implant position relative to landmarks using the virtually defined deformation. These models aided communication between surgical team members during the procedure. This technique was validated by comparing the preoperative planning to the intraoperative procedure.
RESULTSThe accuracy of the 3D printed models was within specification. Production of a model from standard CT DICOM data took 7 hours (range: 6-9 hours). Preoperative planning using the 3D printed models was feasible in all cases. Good correlation was found between the preoperative planning and postoperative follow-up X-ray in all nine cases. The patients were followed for 3-29 months (median: 5 months). The fracture healing time was 9-17 weeks (mean: 10 weeks). No delayed incision healing, wound infection, or nonunions occurred. The results were excellent in two cases, good in five, and poor in two based on the Majeed score.
CONCLUSIONSThe 3D printing planning technique for pelvic surgery was successfully integrated into a clinical workflow to improve patient-specific preoperative planning by providing a visual and haptic model of the injury and allowing patient-specific adaptation of each osteosynthesis implant to the virtually reduced pelvis.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of pretreatment regimen containing idarubicin (IDA) in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for high-risk refractory leukemia. Methods A total of 116 patients with high-risk refractory leukemia who received allo-HSCT treated with 7 types of IDA-containing pretreatment regimes were enrolled in this study. The implantation rate of 116 recipients was summed up. The 2-year overall survival (OS), 2-year disease free survival (DFS), cumulative recurrence rate, recurrent mortality, transplantation related mortality (TRM), cumulative incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) and chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) were statistically analyzed by Kaplan-Meier survival curve. Results All 116 recipients successfully implanted. The median follow-up time was 28 (7-70) months. Among them, 64 recipients survived, the 2-year OS was 55.2%, 2-year DFS was 51.7%, 2-year recurrent mortality was 23.3% and 2-year TRM was 18.1%. Among 116 recipients, 72 cases suffered from aGVHD. The 2-year cumulative incidence rate of aGVHD was 62.1% including 20 cases of grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ aGVHD, the 2-year cumulative incidence rate was 17.2%. Among 116 recipients, 59 cases presented with cGVHD. The 2-year cumulative incidence rate was 55.4%, of which the 2-year cumulative incidence rate of extensive cGVHD was 14.7%. Among 116 recipients, 30 cases recurred with a 2-year cumulative recurrence rate of 25.9%. Conclusions IDA-containingpretreatment regime has high safety and effectiveness, and can be used as an effective pretreatment regime for transplantation preprocessing in patients with high-risk refractory leukemia.

Background:
Malnutrition is a common and modifiable risk factor for postoperative complications and adverse outcomes in orthopedics. The purpose of this study was to identify biomarkers of malnutrition in patients undergoing elective total knee arthroplasty (TKA) that are predictive of adverse in-hospital postoperative complications, to facilitate the identification of at-risk patients for nutritional optimization before surgery.
Methods:
A total of 624 patients who underwent elective TKA between 2013 and 2017 were evaluated; potential biomarkers of preoperative malnutrition, including hypoalbuminemia (serum albumin < 3.5 g/dL), total lymphocyte count (TLC < 1500 cells/mm3), and body mass index (BMI), were assessed for any association with in-hospital postoperative complications.
Results:
The prevalence of hypoalbuminemia, low TLC, overweight, obesity class I, and obesity class II were, respectively 2.72%, 33.4%, 14.8%, 44.5%, and 26.9%. There was a significant association between hypoalbuminemia and obesity class II (BMI ≥ 30.0 kg/m2) with rates of peri-prosthetic joint infection, and no significant association between such complications and low TLC, overweight, or obesity class I. Logistic regression analysis showed that patients with hypoalbuminemia or being in obesity class II with gouty arthritis were more likely to suffer from peri-prosthetic joint infection.
Conclusions
Hypoalbuminemia and obesity class II together is a reliable biomarker of preoperative malnutrition for predicting peri-prosthetic joint infection after elective TKA, whereas low TLC, overweight, and obesity class I were not significantly associated with an increased risk of such complications.

To investigate the non-viral vector mediating human coagulation factor VIII gene expression in mouse 32D cell line, a recombinant plasmid vector, pRC/RSV-hFVIIIBDcDNA, was constructed by cloning B-domain-deleted (Delta760aa-1639aa) human factor VIII cDNA (hFVIIIBDcDNA) into plasmid vector, pRC/RSV. The plasmid RC/RSV-hFVIIIBDcDNA was then transfected by means of SuperFect Transfection Reagent into mouse 32D cell line. After screening with G418, the procoagulant activity (hFVIII:C) and antigen (hFVIII:Ag) of human factor VIII in the culture medium were detected using one-stage method and ELISA, respectively. Furthermore, RT-PCR was performed to observe the transcription of hFVIIIBDcDNA. The results showed that human coagulation factor VIII protein existed in culture medium with hFVIII:C up to 2.01 U/(10(6) cell x 24 hours) and hFVIII:Ag to 450.08 ng/(10(6) cell x 24 hours). RT-PCR displayed mRNA of hFVIIIBDcDNA in 32D cells. It is concluded that the recombinant plasmid RC/RSV-hFVIIIBDcDNA can successfully express human FVIII in mouse 32D cell line, and hFVIII expressed in vitro presents the similar coagulant activity to the native hFVIII existing in normal human plasma.

OBJECTIVETo study the incidence of cases with rash and fever illness (RFIs) after measles vaccine (MV) inoculation.
METHODSDuring 1999 to 2002, 150 RFIs cases reported by the special measles surveillance system in Shandong province, China, were investigated and analyzed epidemiologically.
RESULTS7 674 690 ml MV were distributed during 1999 to 2002 and the annual average incidence of RFIs cases after MV inoculation was 0.20/10 000 ml (0.2 ml per dose). There was significant difference of incidences each year (chi(2) = 10.13, P < 0.05). All RFIs cases were sporadically distributed without epidemiological links. Clinical symptoms showed that 88.67% of the 150 RFIs cases having > 38.5 degrees C fever and 75.33% of all cases appeared typical rash after 4 to 11 days (the medium was 8 days) after MV inoculation. The order of rash onset among RFIs cases was consistent with that of regular measles cases caused by wild virus. 68.67% of the RFIs cases had first MV inoculation and 94.71% were 8 to 12 month-olds. IgM sera antibody test from RFIs cases were rubella negative and 45.65% positive for measles.
CONCLUSIONRFIs due to allergic reaction or measles vaccine virus infection might occur after MV inoculation. There seemed to be a correlation between RFIs incidence and the doses of MV. Measles virus genotype analysis needs to be carried out to confirm if the onset of some RFIs cases is aetiologically associated to MV vaccine virus infection.
