ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the feasibility and efficacy of an MRI-visible,targeted,nano-vector which is synthesized by attaching a targeting ligand,the GD2 single chain antibody (scAb GD2),to the distal ends of PEG-g-PEI-SPION as a carrier for gene delivery into human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) and in vitro cellular MR imaging.Methods scAbGD2-PEG-g-PEI-SPION was synthesized as previously reported.Gel electrophoresis was performed to assess the pDNA condensation ability of scAbGD2-PEG-g-PEI-SPION.The particle size and Zeta potential of scAbGD2-PEG-g-PEI-SPION/pDNA nanocomplexes were observed by dynamic light scattering.Cytotoxicity of scAbGD2-PEG-g-PEI-SPI-ON was evaluated by CCK-8 assay using hBMSCs.Gene transfection efficiency of scAbGD2-PEG-g-PEI-SPION in hBMSCs was quantified by flow cytometry,PEG-g-PEI-SPION,scAbGD2-PEG-g-PEI-SPION,scAbGD2-PEG-g-PEI-SPION+ free AbGD2 and scAbIgG2a-PEG-g-PEI-SPION group was established.The cellular internalization of scAbGD2-PEG-g-PEI-SPION/pDNA nanocomplexes was observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy and Prussian blue staining.MRI of scAbGD2-PEG-g-PEI-SPION was performed by cellular MRI scanning in vitro.Results scAbGD2-PEG-g-PEI-SPION condensed pDNA to form stable nanocomplexes of 80-100 nm in diameter and showed low cytotoxicity to hBMSCs.At the same N/P ratio,the transfection efficiency of scAbGD2-PEG-g-PEI-SPION group was significantly higher than those of other groups (P＜0.001).At the optimal N/P ratio of 20,scAbGD2-PEG-g-PEI-SPION/pDNA obtained the highest transfection efficiency of (59.60 ± 4.50) ％ in hBMSCs.Furthermore,hBMSCs labeled with scAbGD2-PEG-g-PEI-SPION showed sensitive low signal intensity on MRI T2/T2 *-weighted images in vitro.Conclusion scAbGD2-PEG-g-PEI-SPION is an efficient MRL visible targeted nano vector for gene delivery into hBMSCs.

ABSTRACT
The present study aimed to research pathogenesis and therapeutics of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with the method of tissue metabolomics.A combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method was developed suitable for analyzing the endogenous small molecule of liver cancer tissues and adjacent tissues.The unidimensional and multidimensional statistics were used to look for differential metabolites.And then,the KEGG and HMDB database were utilized to find related differential pathways and pathogenesis of HCC.The PCA and PLS-DA showed that there were significant differences on the endogenous small molecule of liver cancer tissues and adjacent tissues.Through the OPLS-Loading plot analysis,there were 25 differential metabolites and 36 relevant pathways.The differential pathways belong to carbohydrate metabolism,amino acid metabolism and mitochondrial transfer.There were 16 metabolites' area under the ROC curve which was bigger than 0.8,which were related with ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters,galactose metabolism,amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism.It was concluded that the Warburg effect exists in HCC cells.The energy of HCC cell was from glycolytic function,because the glycolysis was enhanced and the citric acid cycle decreased.Mitochondrial dysfunction and the increased cobalt content may correlate with the Warburg effect,which may be one of the pathogenesis of liver cancer,and expected to become the breakthrough point of a new targeting therapeutic approach.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate serum total IgE levels of healthy population in two hospitals in Yantai and Weihai areas,to investigate the influencing factors of the levels of serum total IgE,which can provide information for the clinical diagnosis of allergic diseases.Methods The total serum IgE level was measured with chemiluminescence method in 1 200 cases of healthy people and 600 cases of smoking group in different age groups.Results The total IgE level of ≤6 years was (28.53±20.71)IU/mL,7-12 years was (29.74±25.94)IU/mL,13-18 years was (32±22.32)IU/mL,19-44 years was (45.2±36.27)IU/mL,45-60 years was (35.47±27.23)IU/mL,>60 years was (31.2±25.03)IU/mL.There was no effect of serum total IgE in different age groups:≤6 years,7-12 years,13-18 years,45-60 years,>60 years(t=0.610,1.508,0.777,0.160,1.518,all P>0.05),19-44 years was significantly different from other age groups(t=0.075,P0.05).The total IgE level of the smoking group:19-44 years was (55.22±39.16)IU/mL,45-60 years was (42.63±28.46)IU/mL,>60 years was (39.32±26.73)IU/mL.The level of serum IgE in the smoking group was significantly higher than that in the same age group (t=0.142,0.174,0.235,all P<0.05).Conclusion No significant difference existed in healthy people of serum total IgE levels from birth to adulthood.However,the total IgE level rose when reached to 19-44 years,which then slightly declined as the growth of the age.There was no significant difference between male and female of the IgE levels in different age groups.But after the age of 19,smoking can lead to the increase of the total IgE level.

ABSTRACT
As an important clinical mode, the disease-syndrome-efficacy integration is a development trend of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and western medicine combination. The mode combined comprehensive effica-cy evaluation based on disease-syndrome integration is able to highlight advantages of TCM clinical diagnosis and treatment. With the status of disease-syndrome and effects of Chinese herbal medicine treatments, the en-dogenous metabolites and metabolic network of body changed in the systemic level. According to the analysis of these metabolic changes by metabolomic technologies, it is helpful to investigate the essence of disease-syndrome and explain the mechanism of Chinese herbal medicine actions. This review summarized the current applications of metabolomics in the area of disease-syndrome-efficacy integration research . Metabolomics applied in the disease-syndrome-efficacy integration research is helpful to facilitate the development of TCM and western medicine combination .
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the feasibility, rationality and efficacy of the autologous dermal-fat composite tissue used as filling materials in the repair of nasal dorsum collapse.Methods The dermal fat composite tissue block (7.0 cm× 1.0 cm × 1.0 cm) was removed from the buttocks or abdoman as filling materials. 13 cases of nasal dorsum and nasal-shaped misfits were treated by using an umbrella graft of the auricular cartilage plus dermal-fat composite tissue graft to reconstruct natual shape of nasal dorsum and tip. Results The nasal dorsum and tip were repaired in 13 patients with collapsed nasal dorsum. The dermal-fat composite tissue survived well, and the incisions were healed in stage Ⅰ and the incision trace was not obvious. After follow-up for one year, the shape of nose was much satisfactory. Conclusion It is a well-accepted and easy-going procedure to repair collapsed nasal dorsum with autologous dermal-fat or a combination of composite ear cartilage tissue graft, with satisfactory effect and no rejection reactions.
