ABSTRACT
Malignant tumor is a major disease affecting human health. The nano-delivery system itself has a unique size effect and it can achieve tumor-targeted distribution of drug molecules, improve the therapeutic effect, and reduce the toxic and side effects on normal tissues and cells after functional modification. Patient-derived xenografts (PDX) models can be established by transplanting patient-derived cancer cells or small tumor tissue into immunodeficient mice directly. Compared with the tumor cell line model, this model can preserve the key features of the primary tumor such as histomorphology, heterogeneity, and genetic abnormalities, and keep them stable between generations. PDX models are widely used in drug evaluation, target discovery and biomarker development, especially providing a reliable research platform for the diagnosis and treatment evaluation of nano-delivery systems. This review summarizes the application of several common cancer PDX models in the evaluation of nano-delivery systems, in order to provide references for researchers to perform related research.
ABSTRACT
In the research on cancer theranostics, most environment-sensitive drug delivery systems can only achieve unidirectional and irreversible responsive changes under pathological conditions, thereby improving the targeting effect and drug release performance of the delivery system. However, such irreversible changes pose potential safety hazards when the dynamically distributed delivery system returns to the blood circulation or transports to the normal physiological environment. Intelligent reversible drug delivery systems can respond to normal physiological and pathological microenvironments to achieve bidirectional and reversible structural changes. This feature will help to precisely control the drug release of the delivery system, prolong the blood circulation time, improve the targeting efficiency, and avoid the potential safety hazards of the irreversible drug delivery system. In this review, we describe the research progress of intelligent reversible drug delivery system from two main aspects: controlled drug release and prolonged blood circulation time/enhanced cellular internalization of drug.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of antidepressant effect of lily polysaccharide （LLP）and astragalus polysaccharide（APS）. MethodSixty KM mice were randomly divided into blank group， model group， fluoxetine hydrochloride （8 mg·kg-1）group， LLP （0.2 g·kg-1）group， APS （0.2 g·kg-1）group and polysaccharide combination （LLP+APS，0.1 g·kg-1+0.1 g·kg-1）group， with 10 mice in each group. Except the blank group， the other groups were given chronic unpredictable mild stress （CUMS） induced mouse depression model. On the 29th day of modeling，fluoxetine hydrochloride group was given corresponding dose of fluoxetine hydrochloride， and polysaccharide groups were given corresponding drug. The depressive behavior of mice was evaluated by behavioral indexes such as body mass change， open field test. The morphological changes of hippocampal CA1 neurons were observed by Nissl staining. The contents of 5-hydroxytryptamine （5-HT）， adrenocorticotropic hormone （ACTH）， and corticosterone （CORT）， in brain tissue and plasma were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of related proteins in adenylate cyclase/cyclic adenylate phosphate/protein kinase A （AC/cAMP/PKA） signal pathway. ResultCompared with the blank group， mice in the model group gained weight slowly， the total distance， central distance and sugar water preference rate decreased significantly （P<0.01）， the depressive behavior was significant， the hippocampal neurons were seriously damaged， the content of 5-HT decreased （P<0.01）， the contents of ACTH and CORT increased significantly （P<0.01）， adenylate cyclase 6（ADCY6）， PKA and cAMP response element binding protein-1 （CREB-1） and brain-derived neurotrophic factor （BDNF） protein expression decreased significantly （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， depressive behavior of mice in LLP group， APS group and LLP+APS group was significantly improved （P<0.01）. The antidepressant effect of LLP+APS was better than that of LLP and APS. Each administration group could alleviate the damage of hippocampal neurons in varying degrees， significantly increase the content of 5-HT in brain tissue （P<0.01）， and reduce the levels of ACTH and CORT in plasma （P<0.05）. The protein levels of ADCY6， PKA， CREB-1 and BDNF were significantly increased （P<0.05）. ConclusionThe antidepressant effect of LLP+APS is significantly enhanced and has a synergistic effect. The mechanism may be closely related to affecting the content of neurotransmitters， inhibiting HPA axis activity and activating AC/cAMP/PKA signal transduction pathway.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the efficacy and safety of radioactive 125I seed implantation in the treatment of unresectable early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), in order to provide data for clinical practice and relevant research. Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on the data of 39 patients with early-stage NSCLC who received CT-guided radioactive 125I seed implantation from Dec 2010 to Dec 2018 in multiple hospitals.The seed implantation process consisted of preoperative planning and design, CT-guided puncture, seed implantation, and postoperative evaluation and dose verification.The efficacy and complications of the treatment were analyzed.The clinical efficacy was evaluated by adopting the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) (v1.1) and the adverse reactions were evaluated using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v4.0). Results:All the patients were 70 years old on average (51-85). The median lesion diameter was 2.7 cm (1.1-6.0 cm), the median seed activity was 0.7 mCi (0.6-0.8 mCi), while the median follow-up duration was 29 months (3-97 months). Meanwhile, the 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall local control rates were 89.5%, 79%, and 79%, respectively, and the 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival rates were 100%, 74.8%, and 49.9%, respectively.Local recurrence and distant metastasis were the main causes of failure, accounting for 17.9% (7 cases) each.The incidence of pneumothorax was 56.4% (22 cases), among which nine cases (23.1%) required invasive closed thoracic drainage.Only 1 case of grade-2 radiation pneumonia (2.6%) was observed, with no other adverse reactions such as dermatoses, esophagitis, or myelitis being discovered.As indicated by univariate analysis, the patients with KPS scores of 80-90, pathological type of adenocarcinoma, T stage of T 1-2, and D90>180 Gy exhibited better local control ( χ2=6.202, P<0.05). Meanwhile, high D90 was also associated with a higher survival rate ( χ2=6.907, P<0.05). Conclusions:Radioactive 125I seed implantation is a safe and effective treatment for unresectable early-stage NSCLC.In cases where external beam radiotherapy is not available, radioactive 125I seed implantation can be considered as one of the treatment options.Pneumothorax is the most common complication of radioactive 125I seed implantation, and adenocarcinoma (pathological type) and higher values of D90 are predictors of better local control.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the technical method and clinical efficacy of CT-guided radioactive 125I seed implantation (RISI) assisted by 3D-printed coplanar template(3D-PCT) in the treatment of metastatic tumors of chest wall, and analyze the influence of dosimetric parameters on the treatment efficacy. Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted for 55 patients with metastatic tumors of chest wall treated with 3D-PCT-assisted 125I radioactive seed implantation in Tengzhou Central People′s Hospital from January 2014 to March 2021.Preoperative plans were made using a brachytherapy treatment planning system, and dosimetric parameters were assessed at 3d after surgery. During regular CT reexaminations after surgery, the local control rate and overall survival (OS) rate were calculated and the pain relief degree and complications were assessed. The Logrank test and Cox regression were used for univariate and multivariate analyses of local control time (LCT). Meanwhile, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to analyze the critical values of dosimetric parameters and to predict the LCT. Results:The 1-, 2-, and 3-year OS rates ofthe 55 patients were 72.7% (40/55), 21.8% (12/55), and 16.4% (9/55), respectively.The local control rates of 3, 6, 12, and 24 months were 96.4%(53/55), 86.5%(45/52), 85.0%(34/40), and 91.7%(11/12), respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between postoperative and postoperative dosimetric parameters of GTV, particle number, D90, D100, V100, V150, V200, CI, EI, and HI ( P> 0.05). Compared with postoperative V90, the postoperative V90 decreased with a statistically significant difference( P=0.006). As indicated by the univariate Cox regression analysis, the pathological grade, D90, D100, V90, and V200had significant effects on the LCT( P<0.05). Among them, the pathological grade and D90 were independent influencing factors of the LCT, while the other factors showed no statistically significant difference according to the multivariate Cox regression analysis.The LCT of patients with D90≥127 Gy was significantly longer than that of patients with D90<127 Gy (χ 2=16.61, P=0.000). The pain relief rate was 80.8%(21/26) after three months. Five cases suffered from grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ radioactive dermatitis and one case experienced grade Ⅲ radioactive dermatitis. Conclusions:The 3D-PCT-assisted CT-guided 125I radioactive seed implementation can achieve precise and controllable dose and definite efficacy in the treatment of metastatic tumors of chest wall, with few complications.The LCT was remarkably prolonged in the case of D90≥127 Gy, and D90 is an independent influencing factor of the LCT.

ABSTRACT
Objective· To assess the clinical outcome of catheter ablation guided by remote magnetic navigation(RMN) for ventricular arrhythmias (Vas) including ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular premature complex (PVC) originating from ouflow tract (OT). Methods · A total of 42 patients with idiopathic VT/PVC originated from outflow tract were enrolled. All the patients underwent catheter ablation guided by RMN and 3D Carto mapping system. OT-Vas were divided into two groups:right ventricular outflow tract(RVOT) group and left ventricular outflow tract(LVOT) group. Vas arising from LVOT were mapped and ablated by transaortic retrograde and/or transseptal puncture approaches. The primary study endpoint was acute success rate. The secondary study endpoints were procedure-related parameters, including operator X ray time, ablation time, procedure time and complications. Vas recurrence was detected by Holter electrocardiograph (ECG) which was followed-up at 3 months, 6 months and 1 year after ablation. Results · 74% (31/42) Vas arised from RVOT. 93% (39/42) OT-Vas were achieved acute success. The acute success rate was not different between Vas from RVOT and LVOT (30/31 vs 9/11,P=0.160).Compared to LVOT group,the ablation time and fluoroscopic time of RVOT group were significantly reduced s by 31%(P=0.020) and by 33% (P=0.004). There was no major complication in two groups. Within the 11 cases of LVOT-Vas, 4 LVOT-Vas cases which were ablated by tansaortic retrograde with failure were transferred to transseptal approach and ablated successfully. At one-year follow-up, frequent PVCs recurred in 2 out of 39 patients with acute success. Conclusion · Catheter ablation using RMN for OT-Vas is safe and effective with relatively short operator's X-ray time. For LVOT-Vas, mapping and ablation guided by RMN through transseptal approach can improve the acute success rate.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the level of serum superoxide dismutase(SOD),high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP)and myocardial injury markers in acute coronary syndrome(ACS)and evaluate their relationship and diagnostic values.Methods Case control study was conducted.This study enrolled 64 ACS patients and 50 non-ACS patients from the 181st Hospital of Chinese PLA in 2015.Serum SOD,hsCRP were tested and myocardial injury markers such as cardiac tro-ponin I(cTnI),creatin kinase MB(CK-MB)were also tested.Student t test and Pearson test were used as statistical meth-ods.Results Compared with control group,SOD of ACS group were significant lower(t=4.136,P<0.001)and hsCRP, Mb,cTnI,CK and CK-MB were significant higher(t=-5.396,-3.495,-5.578,-4.655 and -4.614,all P<0.001). The area under ROC curve of SOD,hsCRP,MYO,cTnI,CK and CK-MB was 0.713,0.758,0.699,0.879,0.841 and 0.802 respectively.After pearman test,the serum SOD were correlated to hsCRP,total cholesterol(TC)and low density lipopro-tein(LDL-C)(r=-0.493,0.548 and 0.404,all P<0.01).Serum hsCRP was correlated to cTnI,triglyceride(TG)and SOD(r=0.671,-0.417 and -0.493,all P<0.01).Conclusion cTnI was positively correlated to hsCRP and markers of myocardial injury.hsCRP was negatively correlated with SOD.It implicated that oxidative stress,inflammatory response and serum lipid deposition may act an important role in the occurrence and development of ACS.

ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the prevalence of negative life events and its association with depressive, anxiety symptoms and dissatisfaction of school life among middle school students in Shaoxing, and to provide scientific evidence for further interventions. Methods A total number of 3 197 students (including 1 134 urban and 2 063 town adolescents) were recruited from 2 middle schools in Shaoxing, their average age was (13.73 ± 1.03) years. The Multidimensional Life Events Rating Questionnaire for Middle School Students (MLERQ), Depression Self-rating Scale for Children (DSRSC) and Screening for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED) were used to assess the mental health status, while the school life satisfaction was evaluated by the School Life Satisfaction Rating Questionnaire for Adolescents (SLSRQA), and the data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression models. Results The prevalence of the negative life events was 84.9%, unsatisfactory examination performance (48.6%), unreached the teacher's expectation (46.2%), parental chatter (41.4%), unbalanced learning (37.9%), and getting parents scold (27.6%) constituted the main negative life events. The prevalence of depressive symptom, anxiety symptom, and dissatisfaction of school life were significantly higher among middle school students living with negative life events (41.1%, 22.6%, 26.0%) than those without negative life events (20.9%, 3.5%, 16.5%), (?2=71.33, 94.78, 19.83, P<0.001). The prevalence of the psychosomatic health involvement significantly increased with the increase of the number of the dimensions and events (P<0.001). The multivariate logistic regression showed that negative life events were the risk factors of depression, anxiety and dissatisfaction of school life. Their OR values were 2.483 (1.951-3.160), 7.245 (4.411-11.899) and 1.733 (1.325-2.267), respectively. The risk of occurring mental symptoms among children with the number of dimensions≥4 and/or the number of events≥12 was two times higher than those of children without such increase in numbers of dimensions and events. Conclusion The status of negative life events is serious among middle school students in Shaoxing. There are statistical associations between negative life events and mental symptoms.
