ABSTRACT
The tumor targeted fluorescent magnetic IR780-Fe3 O4 nanoparticles were prepared for separation and detection of circulating tumor cells ( CTCs ) . These IR780-Fe3 O4 nanoparticles were characterized by electron microscopy, fluorescence spectrometer, and superconducting quantum interferometer. The targeting effect of IR780-Fe3 O4 nanoparticles was analyzed on the tumor and normal cells by confocal microscope and flow cytometry, and the confocal microscope was used to target the location of IR780-Fe3 O4 nanoparticles in MCF-7 cells. The standard curve was drawn and evaluated accorded to the IR780-Fe3 O4 nanoparticles fluorescence intensity of tumor cells after incubation. The results showed that IR780-Fe3 O4 nanoparticles could target a variety of CTCs. Furthermore, cellular localization experiment proved that IR780-Fe3 O4 nanoparticles could target the mitochondria of tumor cells. With the method of coupling magnetic Fe3 O4 nanoparticles, IR780 could well distinguish the tumor and normal cells, which could be used for separating and detecting the CTCs in simulated blood.

ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the gene expression of insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) in bone marrow mononuclear cells and the expression of IGFBP3 in peripheral blood as well their significance.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 178 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) from March 2014 to March 2016 were divided into de novo AML, CR, and relapse groups according to their condition; Patients with non-hematologic malignancies and normal bone marrow in the same period were selected as control group. The ELISA method was used to detect the IGFBP3 protein levels in peripheral blood, and PCR method were used to detecte IGFBP3 gene expression in bone marrow mono-nucleated cells.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>IGFBP3 gene expression levels of bone marrow mononuclear cells in de novo AML and relapse groups were significantly lower than that in control group (P<0.05), while that in CR group and control group, de novo AML and relapse groups was no significantly different (P>0.05); IGFBP3 levels of peripheral blood in de novo AML and relapse groups were significantly lower than those in control group (P<0.05), while those in CR group and control group, de novo AML and relapse groups were no significantly different (P>0.05); IGFBP3 expression levels in peripheral blood and bone marrow mononucleated cells did not show significant correlation.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The gene expression of IGFBP3 in bone marrow mononuclear cells and its protein levels in peripheral blood may play an important role in occurrence and development of acute myeloid leukemia, and it can also evaluate the disease status and treatment efficacy of acute myeloid leukemia in some extent.</p>
ABSTRACT
This article elaborates the working principle, composition and main functions of an intelligent oxygen inhalation device based on AT 89S51, which can not only detect and control oxygen flow in real time, but also control the output power of the humidifier and monitor the respiration state of the patient.
