Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric disease that seriously affects brain function. Currently, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are used to treat PTSD clinically but have decreased efficiency and increased side effects. In this study, nasal cannabidiol inclusion complex temperature-sensitive hydrogels (CBD TSGs) were prepared and evaluated to treat PTSD. Mice model of PTSD was established with conditional fear box. CBD TSGs could significantly improve the spontaneous behavior, exploratory spirit and alleviate tension in open field box, relieve anxiety and tension in elevated plus maze, and reduce the freezing time. Hematoxylin and eosin and c-FOS immunohistochemistry slides showed that the main injured brain areas in PTSD were the prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and hippocampus CA1. CBD TSGs could reduce the level of tumor necrosis factor-

Although high-efficiency targeted delivery is investigated for years, the efficiency of tumor targeting seems still a hard core to smash. To overcome this problem, we design a three-step delivery strategy based on streptavidin-biotin interaction with the help of c(RGDfK), magnetic fields and lasers. The ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (USIONPs) modified with c(RGDfK) and biotin are delivered at step 1, followed by streptavidin and the doxorubicin (Dox) loaded nanosystems conjugated with biotin at steps 2 and 3, respectively. The delivery systems were proved to be efficient on A549 cells. The co-localization of signal for each step revealed the targeting mechanism. The external magnetic field could further amplify the endocytosis of USPIONs based on c(RGDfK), and magnify the uptake distinctions among different test groups. Based on photoacoustic imaging, laser-heating treatment could enhance the permeability of tumor venous blood vessels and change the insufficient blood flow in cancer. Then, it was noticed that only three-step delivery with laser-heating and magnetic fields realized the highest tumor distribution of nanosystem. Finally, the magnetism/laser-auxiliary cascaded delivery exhibited the best antitumor efficacy. Generally, this study demonstrated the necessity of combining physical, biological and chemical means of targeting.

In some special ship working environments, the crew members need breathable, comfortable, lightweight, and sanitary footwear. Based on the special features of ship working environment and the crew’s need, we focused on the style, material, and production technology of cloth shoes, etc., designed and developed cloth shoes that are more suitable for ship working environment. The shoes have a design of non-lace-up with warp knitted fabric upper and combined sole made of rubber and EVA by cold bonding process.

Drug delivery systems (DDS) are defined as methods by which drugs are delivered to desired tissues, organs, cells and subcellular organs for drug release and absorption through a variety of drug carriers. Its usual purpose to improve the pharmacological activities of therapeutic drugs and to overcome problems such as limited solubility, drug aggregation, low bioavailability, poor biodistribution, lack of selectivity, or to reduce the side effects of therapeutic drugs. During 2015-2018, significant progress in the research on drug delivery systems has been achieved along with advances in related fields, such as pharmaceutical sciences, material sciences and biomedical sciences. This review provides a concise overview of current progress in this research area through its focus on the delivery strategies, construction techniques and specific examples. It is a valuable reference for pharmaceutical scientists who want to learn more about the design of drug delivery systems.

Objective To investigate the effect of PM2.5 airborne particulate matter with a mean diameter of less than 2.5μm exposure on autophagy and explore the links between autophagy and apoptosis in human lung cancer cells(A549). Methods A549 cells were exposed to 100μg/mL PM2.5 with or without 3-MA(autophagy inhibitor)for various periods of 0、2、4、12 or 24 hrs. Autophagy in A549 cells was assessed by determining the lev-el of LC3(a known autophagy marker)using confocal microscopy. The level of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3(LC3) Ⅱ conversion and Bax (a pro-apoptotic protein) was detected by western blotting. Results The expression of LC3 and the ratio of LC3-II/LC3-I in A549 cells was significantly increased and Bax was signifi-cantly decreased following exposure to PM2.5100 μg/mL for 24 h in a time-dependent manner(P < 0.05). After treated with 100 μg/mL PM2.5,the formation of LC3 in A549 cells as evidenced by the intensity of intracellular fluorescence was significantly increased ,and autophageosomes were observed around nucleus in A549 cells. Fur-thermore blockage of autophagy by 3-MA led to a significant increase in the pro-apoptotic protein Bax. Conclu-sion PM2.5 exposure induces autophagy which may protect against apoptosis induced by PM2.5 in A549 cells.

Objective To research the effect of radiosurgery in combination of temozolomide therapy in vitro on invasion and endocrine function of rat pituitary adenoma cells.Methods Rat pituitary adenoma cell lines GH3 and MMQ were divided into control group,10 Gy irradiation group,20 Gy irradiation group,temozolomide treatment group,and radiosurgery in combination of temozolomide group;cells without exposure were used as control group,cells treated with gamma knife radiation respectively with marginal doses of 10 and 20 Gy (all to the 99％ isodose line) were used as 10 Gy irradiation group and 20 Gy irradiation group,cells treated with 250 μmol/L and 615 μmol/L temozolomide for 24 h after 20 Gy radiation were used as radiosurgery in combination of temozolomide group,and cells treated with 250 μmol/L and 615 μmol/L temozolomide for 24 h were used as temozolomide treatment group.Real time-PCR and Western blotting were employed to measure the mRNA and protein expressions of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF);and secretion of prolactin (PRL) and growth hormone (GH) was detected by ELISA.Results As compared with the control group,the 10 Gy irradiation group and 20 Gy irradiation group had significantly lower mRNA and protein expressions of MMP-9 and VEGF,and secretion of PRL and GH (P＜0.05);and these levels in the 20 Gy irradiation group were significantly lower than those in the 10 Gy irradiation group (P＜0.05);As compared with the 10 Gy irradiation group,20 Gy irradiation group,and temozolomide treatment group,the radiosurgery in combination of temozolomide group had significantly lower mRNA and protein expressions of MMP-9 and VEGF,and secretion of PRL and GH (P＜0.05) Conclusion Gamma knife radiosurgery combined temozolomide could significantly inhibit the invasive ability and endocrine function of rat pituitary adenoma cell lines GH3 and MMQ,which has better effect than radiotherapy or temozolomide treatment alone.

Objective To evaluate the effect of ultra short-term low-dose gamma knife radiation on invasive properties of glioma cells at the genetic level.Methods Malignant glioma cell lines U87 and U251 were treated with gamma knife radiation,respectively,with a marginal doses of 0,4,6,8 and 10 Gy (all to the 80％ isodose line).Real time-PCR was used to measure the mRNA expressions of AKT-1,AKT-2,β-catenin and TCF-4 at 30 min after radiation.Results The expressions of AKT-1,AKT-2,β-catenin,TCF-4 in glioma cell lines after low-dose gamma knife radiation with a marginal dose of 6-8 Gy were significantly increased as compared with those after 0 Gy (P＜0.05); reduced expressions ofAKT-1,AKT-2,β-catenin and TCF-4 after a marginal dose of 10 Gy were found as compared with those after 0 Gy (P＜0.05); the β-catenin and AKT-1 mRNA expressions in U87 cells and TCF-4,AKT-1 and AKT-2 mRNA expressions in U251 cells enjoyed the most obvious increase at a marginal dose of 6 Gy; the TCF-4 and AKT-2 mRNA expressions in U87 cells and β-catenin mRNA expression in U251 cells enjoyed the most obvious increase at a marginal dose of 8 Gy.Conclusion Low-dose gamma knife radiation (6-8 Gy) could increase the β-catenin,TCF-4,AKT-1 and AKT-2 expressions,while high dose (10 Gy) could inhibit these effects in a short time period of 30 min.
