Objective:
To investigate the antibacterial properties and biocompatibility of a novel hydrogel fabricated by integrating plasma-activated water(PAW) and bletilla striata polysaccharide(BSP).
Methods:
The experiments were carried out by dividing the hydrogels into four groups based on their compositions:the deionized water(DW)-carbomer 940(CBM940)-carboxymethyl chitosan(CMCS) hydrogel group(H group),the PAW-CBM940-CMCS hydrogel(PAH) group,the DW-BSP-CBM940-CMCS hydrogel(BSPH) group,and the PAW-BSP-CBM940-CMCS hydrogel(PA/BSPH) group.Physical properties of the hydrogels were evaluated by testing water loss rate and water vapor transmission rate.The content of active substances was determined using a microplate reader and an electron spin resonance spectrometer(ESR).The pH and ORP values were measured using a pH meter and an oxidation-reduction potential(ORP) electrode.The antibacterial mechanism was elucidated by analyzing the integrity of bacterial biofilms.Antibacterial activity was evaluated via the zone of inhibition assay.Cytotoxicity testing was performed using the cell counting kit-8(CCK-8) assay,and combined with the cell scratch assay,to collectively evaluate the effects of the hydrogel on cellular biocompatibility and migration ability.
Results:
The water loss rate and water vapor transmission rate of PA/BSPH hydrogel were (32. 3 ±2. 3)% and (2 228. 2 ±1 81 . 1) g/( m2 ·d) . Compared with the H group hydrogel , the contents of hydrogen peroxide ( H2 O2 ) and hydroxyl radicals ( ·OH) in PAH and PA/BSPH groups significantly increased (P < 0. 05) , and the diameters of inhibition zones significantly enlarged (P < 0. 05) . The cell viability in PAH group significantly decreased (P < 0. 05) . The PA/ BSPH group showed non-toxicity and a higher cell migration rate ( P < 0. 05 ) .
Conclusion
The antibacterial mechanism of the PA/BSPH hydrogel relies on the reactive species H2 O2 and ·OH in PAW. The incorporation of BSP enhances the water retention and breathability of the wound dressing while significantly reducing the cytotoxici- ty of PAW. This modification endows the hydrogel with improved biocompatibility and promotes cell proliferation . The PA/BSPH hydrogel demonstrates clinical potential by offering a novel therapeutic strategy for chronic infected wound management.

Objective To transfect the recombinant mIL-28A adenovirus vector into lung adenocarcinoma cell line LA795 and research its anticancer activity. Methods Transfected the constructed mouse IL-28(mIL-28) recombinant adenovirus vector into LA795 cell line, detected with PCR, immunocytal fluorescence, Tunel, Annexin V and MTT. Results Transfected with rAd-mlL-28A into the LA795 cells, mIL-28A gene expression products mRNA increased obviously, IL-28 expression was detected in cells obviously,apoptosis cell number increased, and the growth of LA795 cells transfected with rAd-mIL-28A were inhibited obviously. Conclusion The recombinant miL-28A adenovirus vector we have constructed, which expresses IL-28 when transfected to lung adenocarcinoma cell line LA795, inhibits growth of carcinoma cell to some extent, and may work by promoting the apoptosis of cancer cells.

OBJECTIVETo explore the possible genetic model of psoriasis vulgaris.
METHODSThe complex segregation analysis and heritability calculation were performed with the aid of Penrose method, Falconer regression method and SAGE-REGTL program.
RESULTSIt was found that in 1043 patients with psoriasis vulgaris, 305 patients (29.24%) have the family history of psoriasis, and 738 patients have not the family history. A ratio of s/q approached 1/(square root of q) with Penrose method, and the heritability values of psoriasis in the first-degree and second-degree relatives were 67.04%, 46.6% respectively. By complex segregation analysis, Mendelian, non-major-gene model and environment model were rejected for psoriasis.
CONCLUSIONThe results suggest that psoriasis follows a pattern of polygenetic or multifactorial inheritance rather than single-gene inheritance.
