BACKGROUND: A simple use of antibiotic drugs as anti-infection therapy after joint replacement is not enough for subsequent debridement and secondary revision surgeries. Therefore, our team intended to confirm the feasible use of controlled-release microspheres in the local anti-infection treatment.OBJECTIVE: To prepare the Human beta defense 3 (HBD-3)/poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) micro-spheres and to investigate the microsphere physicochemical properties and drug release profile in vitro.METHODS: With PLGA as a carrier,HBD-3/PLGA controlled-release microspheres were prepared by using double emulsion-solvent evaporation method. Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe its surface morphology.The size of each microsphere was accurately determined using scaleplate. Drug loading capacity and encapsulation efficiency of HBD-3/PLGA controlled-release microspheres were calculated using spectrophotometer. HBD-3/PLGA microsphere controlled-release time was determined in order to analyze the drug release profile of the microsphere. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The HBD-3/PLGA controlled-release microsphere possessed smooth surface, uniform distribution and good liquidity.The average particle size was 219.49 nm, the drug loading capacity of HBD-3 was (20.67±0.17)% and the encapsulation efficiency was (54.52±1.31)%. The cumulative release percentage of HBD-3 was(74.12±0.43)%. The HBD-3/PLGA controlled-release microsphere has well controlled-release performance in vitro. In theory, the purpose of antibacterial controlled-release can be achieved,laying a foundation for subsequent animal antibacterial experiments.

Objective To investigate the role and mechanism of phosphate myosin light chain (pMLC) in the rat kidney of chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN) model. Methods The left donor kidneys from Fisher (F344) rats were orthotopically transplanted into Lewis recipients. Meanwhile, the F344 rats and LEW rats with resection of the right kidney served as control groups. Animals were harvested respectively at the 4th, 8th and 12th week after transplantation. The creatinine clearance rate (CCr) was calculated by urine creatinine of 24-h urine. Blood samples were collected from rats for determination of serum creatinine. The expression of pMLC was detected by using Western blotting and immunohistochernistry, and that of integrin-linked kinase (ILK) by using immunohistochemistry. Results Mononuclear cells infiltration of allografts was markedly aggravated as compared to the controls. Allografts got severe interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy at 12th week after transplantation. The expression of pMILC and ILK was up-regulated in the kidney of CAN rats after transplantation, and increased more significantly as the time went on. The expression of pMILC was significantly correlated with 24-h urine protein excretion (r= 0. 273, P<0. 05), serum creatinine levels (r = 0. 434, P<0. 01 ), the number of tubulointerstitial infiltrated mononuclear cells (r = 0. 525, P<0. 01 ), the number of smooth muscle cells (SMC) in vascular wall (r= 0. 676, P<0. 01 ) and the extent of interstitial fibrosis (r= 0. 570, P<0. 01 ).There was a significantly positive correlation between ILK and pMLC in CAN rats at the 4th week after transplantation (r= 0. 778, P<0. 01 ). Conclusion pMLC might play an key role in CAN, and the over-expression of ILK might be involve in the pathogenesis of CAN.

Methods From January I st, 2007 to July 31 st, 2007, 28 endometriosis patients underwent laparnscopic or transabdominal surgery in Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital affiliated to Fudan University were randomly divided into group A and group B. 14 patients in group A received 3.6 mg goserelin once every 4 weeks, 12 weeks in all 14 patients in group B received goserelin and added 1/2 piece of half-hydrate estradiol every week and 6 mg oral medroxyprogesterone acetate per day, 12 weeks in all. Serum estradiol (E2 ), follicle stimulating hormone(FSH), bone gla protein levels, visual analogue scale (VAS) of pain, bone mineral density of lumbar spine, vaginal exfoliate cell spurs and the form of Kupperman were compared in patients before and after treatment. Results (1 ) After treatment, the level of FSH and E2levels were (5.0 ± 2. 6 ) U/L and (29 ± 17 ) pmol/L in group A and (3.0 ± 1.5 ) U/L, and (87 ± 53 ) pmol/L in group B, which were significantly lower than those before treatment [FSH (17. 0 ± 12. 2) U/L, and E2 (184 ± 194) pmol/L in group A and FSH :(15.3±13.6)U/L and E2: (281±242) pmol/L in group B, P < 0. 01]. On the seventh day after three-month GnRH-a treatment, it was observed that the level of E2 was higher and FSH was lower in group B than the level of E2 and FSH of group A (P < 0. 01 ). (2 ) After treatment, the basal vaginal exfoliate cell proportion in group A [(66. 2 ± 29. 0) %] was significantly lower than that in group B [(11.8 ± 28. 0) %, P < 0. 01] ; while patients in group A owned a lower proportion of the middle [(29. 1 ± 23.1 ) %], superficial layers [(4. 0 ± 5.5 ) %] and esinophilic cells [(2. 3 ± 2. 6)%]than patients group B [middle layer: (73. 0 ± 25.2)% ; superficial layer: (15. 2 ± 10. 9)% ; esinophilic cells: (10. 8 ± 7.9 ) % ; P < 0. 01]. (3) Before the treatment, patients' VAS scores of total, pelvic pain, dysmenorrheal and dyspareunia were 7.43±3. 20,2. 35 ± 1.82, 4. 93 ± 1.98 and 0. 14±0. 53 in group A and were 7.71±2. 02, 2. 57 ± 1.60, 4. 86 ± 1.56 and 0. 29 ± 1.07 in group B; after treatment, the scores above were changed to 0. 14±0. 36,0. 07±0. 27,0. 07±0. 27and 0 in group A and 0. 36±0. 50, 0. 29±0. 47, 0. 07±0. 27 and 0 in group B, which were all significantly lower than those before treatment separately (P <0. 01 ). When menstruation recovered, the scores were 0. 21±0. 43, 0. 07±0. 27, 0. 14 ± 0. 36, and 0 in group A and 0. 50±0. 65, 0. 29±0. 47, 0. 21±0. 43 and 0 in group B, which were also significantly lower than those before treatment (P < 0.01 ), however, no statistical difference was found between groups at any time spot(P > 0. 05). (4) In group A, the bone density after treatment [(0. 96 ± 0. 06 ) g/cm2] was lower than that before treatment [(0. 99 ± 0. 06 ) g/cm2, P < 0.01 )]. In group B, the index was (0. 98 ± 0. 09) g/cm2, which was lower than that before treatment [(0. 99 ± 0. 10 ) g/cm2, P = 0. 201]. No statistical difference was found between groups(P > 0. 05 ). The bone loss rate were (- 2. 77 ± 1.97 ) % in group A and (- 0. 93 ± 2. 86 ) % in group B (P = 0. 058 ). Before treatment, the bone gla protein was (13±3) μg/L in group A and (13±6) μg/L in group B. After treatment, the bone gla protein levels was (17±6)μg/L in group A, which was higher than that before treatment (P < 0. 01 ), the level was (16±6)μg/L in group B, which was higher than that before treatment, however showed no statistical difference(P =0. 053). No difference was found in bone gla protein before and after treatment between two groups (P>0. 05). (5) The form of Kupperman after treatment were 15±7 in group A and 11±6 in group B, which did not show significant difference (P > 0. 05 ). The incidence of flash and sweat were 93% (13/14)in group A, which was significantly higher than that 57% (8/14) in group B(P <0.01 ). Conclusion The add-back therapy that consists of an estradiol patch and oral medroxyprogesterone acetate is effective and safe treatment for endometriosis.
