Enzyme-driven micro/nanomotors consuming in situ chemical fuels have attracted lots of attention for biomedical applications. However, motor systems composed by organism-derived organics that maximize the therapeutic efficacy of enzymatic products remain challenging. Herein, swimming proteomotors based on biocompatible urease and human serum albumin are constructed for enhanced antitumor therapy via active motion and ammonia amplification. By decomposing urea into carbon dioxide and ammonia, the designed proteomotors are endowed with self-propulsive capability, which leads to improved internalization and enhanced penetration in vitro. As a glutamine synthetase inhibitor, the loaded l-methionine sulfoximine further prevents the conversion of toxic ammonia into non-toxic glutamine in both tumor and stromal cells, resulting in local ammonia amplification. After intravesical instillation, the proteomotors achieve longer bladder retention and thus significantly inhibit the growth of orthotopic bladder tumor in vivo without adverse effects. We envision that the as-developed swimming proteomotors with amplification of the product toxicity may be a potential platform for active cancer treatment.

Objective To meet the needs of public health emergency management in the new era, to improve the problems exposed in the public health emergency system after the outbreak of COVID-19, and to provide the government with a list of the gaps in the construction of the public health emergency system. Methods Several methods, including literature review, observation (discussion and questionnaire survey), and comparative and descriptive research, were used to conduct comprehensive analysis through the combination of induction and deduction. The evaluation questions were graded and were translated into some recognition indexes (averages). The golden section method was used for the recognition standard of evaluation problems, and U test method was used for statistical test. Results Five aspects of problem evaluation and suggestions were determined, including early warning, emergency plan, emergency management department, linkage between systems and epidemic situation judgment. The recognition indexes were 0.916, 0.905, 0.571, 1.000 and 1.190, respectively, all of which met the recognition standard, and there was no significant difference between them(P=0.357). The corresponding measures and suggestions were as follows: early warning trigger mechanism, modular emergency plan, government public health emergency agencies, collaborative emergency drill system of various industries, and expert epidemic situation judgment mechanism. Conclusion It is determined that the proposed measures to complement the weaknesses of public health emergency system in Suzhou are suitable for the locality and objectivity after the three steps of literature review, management staff discussion and professional questionnaire survey. The present study provides an objective basis for the health administrative department to propose the public health emergency system construction project to the government.

ObjectiveTo explore the construction of mouse model of liver implanted tumor after hepatectomy by implantation of liver tumor tissue.MethodsH22 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells of mice were implanted to the scapula of 2 BALB/c (nu/nu) nude mice and tumors developed in 2 weeks. Eighteen nude mice were divided into three groups according to random number table method: non-hepatectomy group (group A), 30% hepatectomy group (group B) and 70% hepatectomy group (group C) with 6 mice in each group. The hepatectomy model of nude mice was established. The left lateral lobe and middle lobe were dissected for the nude mice in group A. The tissues of left lateral lobe were ligated and resected in group B. And the tissues of left lateralobe and middle lobe were ligated and resected in group C. The tumor tissues incised from the scapula were implanted to the livers of nude mice in three groups. The tumor formation rate and the volume of implanted tumors of three groups were compared. The tumor formation rate was compared using Fisher's exact probability test, and the volume of implanted tumors was compared using Kruskal-Wallis test and Bonferroni method.ResultsThe tumor formation rate of group A, B and C after 2 weeks was respectively 6/6, 6/6 and 5/6, and no signiifcant difference was observed (P=1.000). The median volume of implanted tumors in group A, B and C was respectively 19(6-33), 22(8-44) and 150(58-186) mm3. The median volume of implanted tumors in group C was signiifcantly larger than those in group A and B (Z=9.03, 7.12;P<0.0167). The implanted tumors in three groups were all conifrmed as HCC and with different degrees of necrosis and inlfammatory cell inifltration by histopathological examination.ConclusionsImplantation of liver tumor tissue can be used to construct an ideal mouse model of liver implanted tumor after major hepatectomy with the advantages of short experimental period, high tumor formation rate and good stability.

Objectives To summarize screening and therapeutic effects of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) in Zhongshan. Methods The thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) concentration in dried heel blood samples on iflter paper was detected using time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay. The cases of positive screening tests were called back for further examination of venous blood TSH concentration using chemiluminescence method. Fifty-four children with permanent CH treated routinely for 2 years (CH group) and 120 age-gender matched health children (control group) were recruited. The physical development (height, body weight) was monitored. The neurodevelopment and temperament type were tested using Pediatric Nneuropsychological Development Assessment and Children's Temperament Scale respectively at 6 and 24 months after birth. Results Two hundred eight-five thousand two hundred forty-two neonates were screened. One hundred and forty cases were confirmed and the incidence rate was 1/2037. There was no statistical difference in length-for-age z score (LAZ) and weight-for-age z score (WAZ) between CH and control group (P>0.05). The neurodevelopment in CH group was normal, but gross motor development was worse than that in control group (P<0.05). The temperament type and distribution had statistical difference between CH and control group (P<0.05). The percentage of the dififcult type and central dififcult type was increased in CH group as compared to control group, especially in the activity, adaptability, reaction intensity and perseverance (P<0.05). Conclusions The physical and neurodevelopment are nearly normal in patients with CH after early supplementation, but the psychological behavior problems need to be focused on in the process of intervention.
