ABSTRACT
Objective To prepare transferrin and Arg-Gly-Asp polypeptide co-modified nanoparticles(TF/RGD-NPs)and evaluate its targeting efficiency to melanoma.Methods The co-modified nanoparticles were prepared by emulsion method and its appearance,particle size and Zeta potential were evaluated.The cellular uptake experiment and melanoma tumor spheroids penetration test were used to evaluate the affinity and ability to penetrate tumor tissues of TF/RGD-NPs to melanoma B16 cells. Results The particle diameter of co-modified nanoparticles was(113.4 ±12.5)nm and the Zeta potential was(4.53 ±2.15)mV.In vitro uptake test demonstrated that the efficacy of cellular uptaken TF/RGD-NPs by B16 cells were 2.7 times and 2.9 times to TF-NPs and RGD-NPs,respectively,the differences were all significant(P<0.05 ).Tumor spheroid penetration test results showed that TF/RGD-NPs has good affinity to melanoma cells.Conclusion TF/RGD-NPs can target to melanoma B16 cell efficiency in vitro,it may be serve as a potential drug delivery system for targeting melanoma.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the relationship between the dynamic change of free DNA in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)and the tissue injury in the patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.Methods 54 cases of hypertensive intracerebral hemor-rhage were divided into 3 groups according to the glasgow coma scale(including 17 mild cases,21 moderate cases and 16 severe ca-ses).2 mL of CSF was collected for extracting free DNA on 1,3,7,15 d after stroke onset.The free DNA level was measured by the fluorescent real-time PCR.Results The free DNA level in the severe group was significantly higher than that in the mild and mod-erate groups.The free DNA level in the abnormal intracranial pressure group was higher than that in the normal intracranial pres-sure group;the intracranial infection group was higher than the non-infection group.Conclusion The free DNA level has certain value for diagnosing the craniocerebral injury in hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage and is conducive to monitor the occurrence of postoperative complications.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein(XIAP)combined with doxorubicin on the proliferation of MCF-7 cell and growth of MCF-7 bearing nude mice.Methods The anti-proliferation efficiency of doxorubicin and embelin were determined by MTT assay.MCF-7 cell apoptosis induced by embelin and doxorubicin were detected by Flow cytometry.Anti-tumor ability of embelin and doxorubicin were evalued with tumor spheroids test.MCF-7 cell were xenografted to mice to establish the animal model,which was used to evaluate the effect of anti-tumor. Results Compared with saline group,embelin group and doxorubicin group,the combination(doxorubicin +embelin)group inhibited the growth of MCF-7 cells effectively(P<0.01).The combination group induced the apoptosis of MCF-7 cells more effectively than doxorubicin alone(P<0.01), and significantly inhibit the growth of tumor in vitro and in vivo than other groups(P<0.01).Conclusion The combination of doxorubicin and embelin may be used as a potentially effective treatment method for breast cancer.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To study the analgesic effect and toxicity of Weifu qitong Capsule (Rhizoma Corydalis, cortex Magnoliae Officinalis, Radix Aucklandiae, etc.) to provide experimental data for its clinical application. METHODS: The analgesic effect of Weifu qitong Capsule was assessed by hot-plate test and writhing test, its acute and subacute toxicity studies were also conducted. RESULTS: Taking high dose of Weifu qitong Capsule, after 4.5 h (6.249 g/kg) WFQC could increase pain threshold in hot-plate test. Taking low, middle or high dose of WFQC after 2 h, WFQC could significantly extend writhing latent period and decrease writhing frequency (P
