OBJECTIVE To prepare nanoparticle-based targeting preparation loaded with triptolide(TP),and evaluate its quality,targeting ability and cytotoxic effects.METHODS Polymer nanoparticles carrying TP-targeted folic acid(FA)receptor(TP@PLGA-PEG-FA)were fabricated using poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)/polyethylene glycol/FA(PLGA-PEG-FA)as the carrier by emulsion and volatilization technique.The morphology and distribution were observed,and their particle size,Zeta potential,polydispersity index(PDI),drug loading capacity and encapsulation efficiency were measured.Their stability,blood compatibility,in vitro drug release,uptake by RAW264.7 cells(localization with fluorescent dye Cy3.5),and in vitro cytotoxicity were evaluated.RESULTS TP@PLGA-PEG-FA exhibited spherical shape and uniform distribution,with particle size of(122.60±0.02)nm,Zeta potential of(-17.6±0.6)mV,and PDI of 0.26±0.02;drug loading capacity and encapsulation efficiency of TP were measured to be(7.78±0.05)%and(68.62±0.03)%,respectively.The hemolysis rates of 100,200,300,400 μg/mL TP@PLGA-PEG-FA were 0.77%,0.92%,1.34%and 1.63%,respectively.There were no significant changes in particle size,PDI and Zeta potential when TP@PLGA-PEG-FA were placed in 4℃water for 14 days and in DMEM culture medium containing 10%fetal bovine serum at 37℃for 12 h.The cumulative release rate of TP@PLGA-PEG-FA was(84.83±0.29)%in phosphate buffer at pH5.5 for 72 h,which was significantly higher than the cumulative release rates in phosphate buffer solutions at pH7.4 and 6.5 for 72 h[(42.37±0.35)%and(63.83±0.29)%,respectively](P＜0.05).Activated RAW264.7 cells took up significantly more Cy3.5@PLGA-PEG-FA than they took up Cy3.5@PLGA-PEG-FA+free FA and Cy3.5@PLGA-PEG.When the mass concentration of TP was≥15.63 ng/mL,the survival rates of activated cells in the TP@PLGA-PEG-FA groups were significantly lower than those of the same mass concentration of free TP groups(P＜0.05).CONCLUSIONS The prepared TP@PLGA-PEG-FA has high stability,good blood compatibility,active targeting and cytotoxicity to inflammatory cells.

Objective:To analyze the effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination on virus mutation.Methods:The whole genome sequencing sequences of 2 659 local SARS-CoV-2 specimens from Jiangsu Province in 2023 were selected for analysis, and relevant information such as demographic and clinical characteristics were collected, and the effects of infection and vaccination on the genome-wide mutation rate and S gene′s selective pressure of the virus were analyzed by univariate and multivariate linear regression models.Results:The average age of these infected patients was 55.0 (31.0, 74.0) years, 1 150 cases (43.2%) in the age group of ≥60 years, 1 367 cases (51.4%) were males, 2 044 cases (76.9%) had a history of COVID-19 vaccination, and 1 629 cases (61.3%) had the first-time infection. The clinical symptoms of the infected patients were mainly mild, with a total of 2434 cases (91.5%), and 29 cases (1.1%) with severe symptoms or more. The average substitution rate of SARS-CoV-2 was 9.69 (9.38, 9.98)×10 -4 subs/site/year, and the dN/dS value of the S gene was 6.08 (5.56, 8.66), which was significantly greater than that of 1 ( P<0.001), indicating positive selection. The result of univariate and multivariate linear regression model analysis showed that the SARS-CoV-2 substitution rate was higher in those with vaccination history and reinfection, aged 20-30 years, ≥60 years, and the SARS-CoV-2 substitution rate was lower in males with moderate clinical symptoms and severe disease and above. Those with a history of vaccination and reinfection, aged 50-60 years old, ≥60 years old have smaller S gene dN/dS. Conclusions:Under the immune pressure exerted by vaccination and infection, the genome-wide mutation of SARS-COV-2 accelerated, but the non-synonymous mutation rate of the S gene decreased. The mechanism causing these phenomena needs further study.

Objective:To explore the influence of age on the passive stiffness of women′s quadriceps muscles and the relationship between stiffness and muscle functioning.Methods:Twenty healthy elderly women formed the senior-aged group, while 20 young, healthy women were selected as the young group. The passive stiffness of the subjects′ vastus medialis, rectus femoris and vastus lateralis muscles was measured using ultrasound shear wave imaging with the knee flexed to 30°, 60°, 90° and 105°. Both groups completed the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and the five times sit-to-stand test (FTSST). Maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MIVC) strength during knee extension was also measured.Results:The passive muscle stiffness of the rectus femoris and vastus lateralis muscles was significantly greater in the senior-aged group when the knee was flexed at 60°, 90° or 105°. The 6MWT and FTSST times of the young group were of course significantly better, and their MIVC at 60° and 90° of knee flexion was also significantly stronger. Rectus femoris stiffness among the senior-aged group was negatively correlated with MIVC when the knee was flexed at 60°.Conclusions:The passive stiffness of the muscles studied increases with age, especially in stretching. When the knee joint is flexed at 60° there tends to be a negative correlation between the MIVC of the quadriceps femoris and the stiffness of the rectus femoris among elderly females.
