OBJECTIVE To prepar e and characterize danazol (DAZ)-sodium caseinate (SC)composite nanoparticles ,and to study the mechanism of preparing nanoparticles in “bottom-up”technology. METHODS SC was used as a stabilizer for regulating nanoparticles,so that DAZ-SC composite nanoparticles were prepared by anti-solvent precipitation method. The particle size , Zeta-potential,micro-morphology,stability,encapsulation efficiency ,drug loading and in vitro dissolution rate were characterized. Fluorescence spectra ,IR spectra ,FBRM and other methods were used to analyze the interaction mechanism between DAZ and SC. RESULTS The particle size of DAZ-SC composite nanoparticles was (223.7±12.5)nm,and the polydispersity index was 0.274± 0.012. Zeta-potential was -(17.81±1.63)mV(n=3). The stability of nano-suspension was good ,the solid properties of DAZ were greatly improved ,and the dissolution rate was significantly increased. SC was statically quenched under the action of DAZ and the secondary structures of SC were changed. The crystallization process of DAZ was controlled under the action of SC ,and the interaction between DAZ and SC was mainly hydrogen bond and van der Waals force. CONCLUSIONS In this study ,DAZ-SC composite nanoparticles are successfully prepared. In the “bottom-up”technology,the interaction between SC and DAZ caused by hydrogen bond and van der Waals force inhibits the growth and agglomeration of drug crystals .

Objective The objective of this study was to explore the differences of serum metabolomics between small cell lung cancer(SCLC)patients and healthy volunteers,and to discover serum potential biomarkers for identification and small cell lung cancer staging. Methods Ultra-performance liquid chromatography time of flight mass spectrometry(UPLS-TOF/MS)was used to establish the serum metabolic profile of SCLC. Principal Component Analysis(PCA)and orthogonal hidden variables were analyzed by the EZinfo2. 0 software. Orthogonal Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis(OPLS-DA)was used to analyze the metabolic differ-ences between the case and normal control groups. Through cluster analysis using HMDB and METLIN database to search for the exact mass-to-charge ratio of the difference,preliminary identification of some substances with significant differences was carried out. Results Ten differential metabolites such as lysophosphatidylcholine between patients and control groups were screened and identi-fied by mass spectrometry and database search. There were 10 different metabolites such as glycocholic acid in the contour analysis of SCLC patients with different stages. Conclusion There is a significant difference in serum metabolism between SCLC patients and healthy controls. The discovery of differential metabolites provides experimental evidence for the identification of small cell lung cancer and potential markers of staging.

Objective:
To investigate the efficacy and safety of ketogenic diet (KD) and antiepileptic drugs(AEDs) in the children with drug refractory Dravet syndrome (DS).
Methods:
Thirty-two cases of drug refractory DS were enrolled into the Department of Neurology, Shenzhen Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Shantou University Medical School from July 2016 to December 2017, and they were divided into 2 groups: KD group and AEDs group (16 cases for each group), respectively.KD was added to as an additional therapy for KD group, and oral AEDs were administered only in AEDs group.In KD group, oral AEDs were not adjusted for the first 3 months.AEDs could be adjusted within a limited range in 2 groups after 3 months.The clinical efficacy, improvement of cognitive function, retention rate and side effects were observed and compared after 3, 6, 12 months of treatment.The average monthly seizure frequency within 3 months before enrollment was recorded as the baseline.The clinical efficacy was assessed by comparing the seizure frequency of each observation period with the baseline.

Lignocellulose is the most abundant renewable biomass resource. Enzymatic breakdown of lignocellulose into oligosaccharides or monosaccharides is the key to exploit lignocellulosic biomass. However, traditional glycoside hydrolases are insufficient to degrade lignocellulose. The emergence of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase, a novel enzyme for lignocellulose degradation, has enriched the deconstruction schema and accelerated the enzymatic conversion of polysaccharides, by introducing new chain breaks that allow hydrolases to initiate further degradation. Here, we review the discovery, classification and catalytic mechanism of the enzyme, as well as the methods for assaying its activity. The prospect for its application in feed additive, functional food and biofuel development is further discussed.

Fast optic disk localization and boundary segmentation is an important research topic in computer aided diagnosis. This paper proposes a novel method to effectively segment optic disk by using human visual characteristics in analyzing and processing fundus image. After a general analysis of optic disk features in fundus images, the target of interest could be located quickly, and intensity, color and spatial distribution of the disc are used to generate saliency map based on pixel distance. Then the adaptive threshold is used to segment optic disk. Moreover, to reduce the influence of vascular, a rotary scanning method is devised to achieve complete and continuous contour of optic disk boundary. Tests in the public fundus images database Drishti-GS have good performances, which mean that the proposed method is simple and rapid, and it meets the standard of the eye specialists. It is hoped that the method could be conducive to the computer aided diagnosis of eye diseases in the future.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the utilization and trend of bisphosphonates drugs in patients with bone metastasis of breast cancer from Zhejiang province,so as to provide reference for the further promotion of their rational use. METHODS:The utilization of this type of drugs in 11 hospitals of Zhejiang province during 2010-2015 was analyzed statistically,counted and ranked by using the method of cost ranking analysis and DDDs analysis in the respect of amount,DDDs,DDC,etc. RESULTS:The amount of bisphosphonates drugs was increased steadily in 6 years(increasing greatly in 2011),increased by 96.26% in 2015,compared to 2010. Top 3 drugs in the list of amount were Zoledronic acid for injection(imported),Zoledronic acid for injection(domestic)and Pamidronate disodium for injection. Among them,Zoledronic acid for injection(imported)basically showed an upward trend,while Pamidronate disodium for injection showed decline trend. Top 3 drugs in the list of DDDs were Zoledronic acid for injection(domestic),Zoledronic acid for injection(imported)and Pamidronate disodium for injection;DDDs of Zoledronic acid for injection(domestic)and Zoledronic acid for injection(imported)were generally on the rise,while that of Pamidronate disodium for injection showed an overall downward trend. B/A value of bisphosphonates ranged 0.33-2.00,among which B/A value of Zoledronic acid for injection(domestic)was 2.00 and that of Zoledronic acid for injection(imported)was 0.50 during 2012-2015. The first and second drugs in the list of DDC were Clodronate disodium for injection and Zoledronic acid for injection(imported). CONCLUSIONS:The total amount of bisphosphonates drugs in patients with bone metastasis of breast cancer from 11 hospitals of Zhejiang province during 2010-2015 was increased steadily. Some varieties of second and third generation bisphosphonates with definite curative effect,good safety and reasonable price are dominant in clinical use. The selection and use of bisphosphonates is basically reasonable,but price is still the primary factor restricting the further wide application of some varieties.
