2.Transdermal drug delivery technology for brain-targeted drug delivery
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica 2023;57(8):2334-2340
Intracerebral delivery of drugs for the treatment of central nervous system disorders is usually limited by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDS) have the advantage of improving patient compliance and avoiding first-pass effects compared to intravenous, oral and intranasal drug delivery, and are an emerging non-invasive drug delivery route that facilitates long-term drug delivery to patients. The discovery of direct subcutaneous targeting of lymphatic pathways to brain tissue has made TDDS a new brain-targeted drug delivery strategy. At the same time, the development of nano-delivery technology has further facilitated the application of TDDS for targeted drug delivery to the brain. This review summarizes the mechanism of transdermal drug delivery into the brain and the application of TDDS in the treatment of brain diseases, providing new ideas and methods for the treatment of central nervous system diseases.

AIM: Screening of phage antibodies against HBsAg from the constructed phage display library and sequencing of the positive clones.METHODS: RNAs were extracted from blood lymphocytes of a HBsAg-immunized volunteer. Then cDNAs were synthesized by RT-PCR. To construct the phage antibody display library, cDNAs of Fd fragments and ? chains of the antibodies were amplified through PCR and were inserted into vector pComb3H. Three rounds panning against coated HBsAg showed the specific enrichment of phage antibody. Positive clones were selected and sequenced.RESULTS: A phage antibody display library was constructed after amplifing of Fd fragments and ? chains of IgG1. Three Fab antibodies from the library were selected and sequenced. The result of sequencing showed that two of the three antibodies had the same Fd fragment and all of the three had the same light chain. CONCLUSION: The phage antibody display library was constructed successfully and three specific antibodies (Fab fragments) have been obtained from it.

Objective To measure neuro-biochemical changes in brain of first episode major depression (MD) patients. Methods Single-voxel proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic (1H-MRS) examination of bilateralis frontal lobe and hippocampus was conducted in 21 first episode major depression patients and 21 age-, sex-and education-matched healthy controls. After this, major depression patients took selectivity serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) for three months. Then, we examined the changes in NAA, Cho, Cr, Glx and mI in bilaterlis frontal lobe and hippocampus of patients. Finally, we compared the metabolism of the subjects with that of the controls. Results ① Bilateralis frontal lobe NAA/Cr, right frontal lobe Glx/Cr and left hippocampus NAA/Cr and Glx/Cr were significantly lower in MD patients than in the controls, but right frontal lobe and right hippocampus mI/Cr significantly were higher than those in controls. ② After treatment left frontal lobe and left hippocampus NAA/Cr significantly increased compared with pretherapy. Right frontal lobe mI/Cr significantly decreased. Conclusion Nerve cell activity disorder, abnormal second messenger and glutamicacid and glutamine may be involved in the pathogenesis of MD. Antidepressant can regulate abnormal metabolism and improve nerve cell activity.

Objective To explore the effect of applying functional movement screen (FMS) in the sport injury risk assessment of Chinese rugby athletes.Methods Rrugby athletes of Chinese national and provincial teams were selected and their data were collected using the standard FMS test.Their non-impact injury of the lower limbs and trunk were tracked and recorded.FMS diagnostic value and diagnostic cut-off value were evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and odds ratio (OR).Results The area under curve of all,male and female rugby athletes was 0.780 (P=0.000),0.877 (P=0.001) and 0.7130 (P=0.013) respectively,with significant differences from AUC=0.5.FMS score optimal cut-off point of all,male and female rugby athletes corresponding to the maxi mum Youden index was 13.5,15.5 and 13.5 respectively.Among all,male and female rugby athletes,the injury rates of the positive group (with FMS score less than the corresponding optimal cutoff point) were significantly higher than that of the negative group (with FMS total score greater than a corresponding cut-off point)(P<0.01),and OR value of the positive group was 25.85 (95%CI:3.34~200.23),25 (95%CI:2.36~264.80) and 14.22 (95%CI:1.76~114.92) respectively.Conclusion In China,the average FMS score of rugby athletes had a strong correlation with non-contact sport injury,which might become an assessment index of non-contact sport injury risks.There is a significant difference in FMS score optimal cut-off points between the male and female rugby athletes,with that of the female being 13.5 points and the male being 15.5 points.

Molecularly imprinted polymers for dimethoate recognition were synthesized by the precipitation polymerization technique using methyl methacrylate (MMA) as the functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as the cross-linker. The morphology, adsorption and recognition properties were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), static adsorption test, and competitive adsorption test. To obtain the best selectivity and binding performance, the synthesis and adsorption conditions of MIPs were optimized through single factor experiments. Under the optimized conditions, the resultant polymers exhibited uniform size, satisfactory binding capacity and significant selectivity. Furthermore, the imprinted polymers were successfully applied as a specific solid-phase extractants combined with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for determination of dimethoate residues in the cucumber samples. The average recoveries of three spiked samples ranged from 78.5% to 87.9% with the relative standard deviations (RSDs) less than 4.4% and the limit of detection (LOD) obtained for dimethoate as low as 2.3μg/mL.

Objective To investigate the effects of ketamine on anoxia-reoxygenation(A/R)induced glutamate release from cerebral cortex neurons.Methods Primary cultured neurons obtained from cerebral cortex of fetal Wistar rats(16-18 d)were randomly divided into 3 groups:Ⅰcontrol group;ⅡA/R group andⅢketamine pretreatment+I/R group.The control group was not subjected to A/R while A/R group was exposed to anoxic air(95% N_2+5% CO_2)for 5 h followed by 24 h reoxygenation.In groupⅢdifferent doses of ketamine were added to the culture media before anoxia and the final ketamine concentrations were 1,20 and 100?mol?L~(-1) respectively.The extracellular glutamate concentration was detected at the end of 24 h reoxygenation.Results The extracellular glutamate concentration was significantly higher after 24 h reoxygenation in A/R group than in control group.Ketamine 20 and 100?mol?L~(-1) significantly inhibited glutamate release from the neurons induced by A/R in a dose-dependent manner.Conclusion Ketamine can inhibit glutamate release from neurons induced by A/R in a dose-dependent manner.
