In recent years, bio-metal organic frameworks (Bio-MOFs) synthesized with biocompatible ligands have been widely investigated as a potential drug delivery carrier due to their large specific surface area and porosity, rich host-guest intermolecular interactions, and good biocompatibility.In this review, we summarized the design methods of Bio-MOFs including structural and toxic factors, as well as a variety of drug loading methods including click chemistry, with particular focus on recent research advances in Bio-MOFs for pulmonary drug delivery systems, improving pharmaceutical properties of drugs, sustained and controlled drug release, stimulation response and targeted drug delivery systems.Finally, we summarized the bottlenecks that constrain the development of Bio-MOFs in clinical studies of actual pharmaceutical formulations and their future directions for approved formulations, aiming to provide some theoretical reference for promoting the application of Bio-MOFs in drug delivery systems.

Objective: To investigate the effects of buccal acupuncture on analgesia, immune indicators, and expression levels of Survivin and Livin proteins in patients with advanced-stage primary liver cancer. Methods: Eighty patients with advanced-stage primary liver cancer were selected and divided into control and treatment groups according to the difference in treatment modalities, with 40 patients in each group. The control group received transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE), and the treatment group received buccal acupuncture in addition to TACE. The recent efficacy, analgesic effect, liver function, serum tumor markers, Survivin and Livin protein expression levels in liver cancer tissue, and immune indexes were analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results: The objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) of the treatment group were 37.5％ and 77.5％, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of the control group (22.5％ and 52.5％), and the recent efficacy of the treatment group was significantly better than that of the control group (P<0.05). The onset of analgesia in the treatment group was significantly faster than that in the control group (P<0.05), the duration of analgesia was significantly longer than that in the control group (P<0.05), and the numeric rating scale (NRS) score of pain after treatment was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). In the treatment group, the aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and albumin/globulin (A/G) were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05), and the serum levels of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), alpha-L-fucosidase (AFU), and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05), and the expression levels of Survivin and Livin in liver cancer tissue were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05); CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group, and CD8+ was significantly lower than that in the control group after treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion: Buccal acupuncture can reduce the degree of pain and liver function damage in patients with advanced- stage primary liver cancer and lower the serum tumor marker levels, and its mechanism of action may be related to the down-regulation of Survivin and Livin protein expression levels in the liver cancer tissue and the regulation of the immune function.

Objective:The hemolytic prediction model of the axial flow impeller blood pump is carried out by using a computational fluid dynamics(CFD) multiphase flow model.Methods:The hydrodynamic performance of the pump and the flow field in the pump, and the shear stress distribution are analyzed. A hemolytic prediction model based on the shear stress is built based on the calculation results. Hemolysis tests in vitro were performed 6 times with fresh bovine blood. At each time, the flow of the ventricular assist device(VAD) is 5 L/min and the outflow tract pressure is 100 mmHg(13.3kPa). According to the tests, the plasma free hemoglobin(FHB) content and the hematocrit(HCT) are measured every half hour. At the end of each experiment Normal Index of Hemolysis(NIH) is calculated.Results:The average of NIH is 0.0055 g/100L, almost identical with that obtained from the hemolytic prediction model.Conclusion:Multiphase flow model can be used for quantitative predictions of the hemolytic behavior of a VAD. This method can be applied in the selection stage of a blood pump.

Lenvatinib mesylate (LF), a multi-target tyrosinase inhibitor mainly used in the treatment of a variety of cancers, has low oral bioavailability mainly due to its gelation during the dissolution process. In the current study, in order to enhance dissolution and eliminate gelation of LF, a supramolecular coamorphous system of LF-baicalein (BAI) (molar ratio, 1∶1) was prepared by rotary evaporation and characterized by PLM, PXRD, DSC and FTIR. Results indicated the formation of coamorphous system with a single Tg of 118 °C. Different from original LF crystal, no gelation phenomenon was observed during the dissolution of coamorphous LF-BAI. In addition, the dissolution rate of LF was increased by 2.2-fold after coamorphization. Meanwhile, the dissolution rate of the co-former BAI was also enhanced by more than 25.4-fold. Stability test showed that the prepared coamorphous system had a good physical stability for at least 90 days under 25 °C/ 60%RH and 40 °C /75%RH conditions.

Objective:To investigate the protein expression changes of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) modified with pigment epithelium-derived factor ( PEDF) gene mediated by lentivirus. Methods:The hUCMSCs were divided into the control group and experimental group.Cells in the control group were normal hUCMSCs and the cells in experimental group were hUCMSCs with PEDF modification.The proteins from the two groups were collected and processed by FASP method.Samples were fractionated by liquid chromatography and analyzed by tandem mass spectrometry, and SWATH mode was applied.Differential protein analysis, Gene Ontology (GO) analysis and Reactome pathway enrichment analysis were performed. Results:A total of 5 361 quantified proteins were detected in this experiment, of which 432 proteins were differentially expressed (fold change>1.5, P<0.05). There were 219 of the 432 proteins up-regulated, including serpin family F member 1 (SERPINF1) (PEDF), DEAD-box helicase 59 (DDX59) and thrombospondin 1 (THBS1), etc., whereas 213 proteins were down-regulated, including collagen type Ⅰ alpha 1 (COL1A1), COL18A1, etc.GO analysis indicated that the differential proteins were mainly involved in fibrinolysis, extracellular structure organization, regulation of transporter activity, biosynthetic process of secondary alcohol and cholesterol, coenzyme metabolic process and regulation of peptidase activity, etc.Reactome pathway analysis showed that the differential proteins were mostly involved in regulation of insulin like growth factor (IGF) transport and uptake by IGF binding protein, post-translational protein phosphorylation, extracellular matrix organization, metabolism of steroids. Conclusions:After gene modification with PEDF mediated by lentivirus, the expression of many proteins in hUCMSCs were changed. PEDF gene modification can alter the structure of extracellular matrix and regulate the expression of proteins associated with cell proliferation, self-renewal and multipotency.

Displaying Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) on the cell surface of Aspergillus niger is effectively applied for the industries of food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and so on. Displaying CALB using induced promoter of glucoamylase on the cell surface of A. niger SH-1 has some problems such as inhibiting its expression under high concentration of glucose, mycelium cleavage and decreasing enzyme activity in the later period of fermentation process. Displaying CALB manipulated by constitutive promoter from glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase instead of glucoamylase on the cell surface of A. niger SH-1, called AN-GpdA, could solve the above problems effectively. Furthermore, it can not only use glucose, but also xylose as a sole carbon source. Enzyme activity of AN-GpdA using xylose for fermentation reached 1 100.28 U/g of dry cell. We also used lignocellulose such as the hydrolysate of bagasse for fermentation with good performance. The result would provide a novel strategy for the utilization of bagasse.

Objective: To explore the related influencing factors of high frequency hearing loss (HFHL) in workers exposed to noise and establish a prediction nomogram for HFHL. Methods: A total of 822 workers exposed to noise from 46 enterprises were included. A questionnaire survey and a pure-tone hearing test were conducted for the workers. The data of noise level of the workers exposed was also collected. After single factor analysis of related influencing factors, the multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the final independent influencing factors of HFHL. Finally, a nomogram model was established by R software to achieve individual prediction of HFHL. Results: Among the 822 workers exposed to noise, 166 (20.2%) workers had HFHL. In multivariate Logistic regression analysis, increasing age, men, increasing wearing earphone time, less wearing earplugs, and high noise level were the independent risk factors for HFHL. The C-index of the nomogram model for predicting HFHL was 0.834 (95%CI: 0.748~0.903) . The area under the predictive power curve of nomogram model was 0.834 (95%CI: 0.799~0.869, P<0.001) . Conclusion Age, sex, wearing earphone time, wearing earplugs, and noise level are independent influence factors for HFHL. The nomogram model is successfully established as a accurate and visible tool for individually predicting the HFHL risk in workers exposed to noise.
