RESUMO
This study investigated a nano drug delivery system built by one sort of modified trimethyl chitosan (TMC). The TMC was modified by cRGDyk, ligand of integrin receptor avβ3. Single factor screening was used to optimize the prescription in which the particle sizes of TMC nanoparticle (TMC NPs) and cRGDyk modified TMC nanoparticle (C-TMC NPs) were (240.3 ± 4.2) nm and (259.5 ± 3.3) nm. Electric potential of those two nanoparticles were (33.5 ± 0.8) mV and (25.7 ± 1.6) mV. Encapsulation efficiencies were (76.0 ± 2.2) % and (74.4 ± 2.0) %. Drug loading efficacies were (50.1 ± 2.1) % and (26.1 ± 1.0) %. Then the cellular uptake, uptake mechanism and transport efficacy of TMC NPs and C-TMC NPs were investigated using Caco-2 cell line. The uptake rate and accumulating drug transit dose of C-TMC NPs were 1.98 and 2.84 times higher than TMC NPs, separately. Mechanism investigations revealed that caveolae-mediated endocytosis, clathrin-mediated endocytosis and macropinocytosis were involved in the intercellular uptake of both TMC NPs and C-TMC NPs. What is more, free cRGDyk could remarkably inhibit the uptake of C-TMC NPs.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the influence of parenterai nutrition(PN) on nutritional status and immune function in breast cancer patients undergoing postoperative chemotherapy.Methods 94 patients with breast cancer postoperative patients were randomly divided into the treatment group(47 cases) and the control group(47 cases).All the patients were given chemotherapy with VBP.The treatment group was given glutamine fortified PN,and the control group was given normal nutrition support,respectively.The nutritional status and immune function before and after chemotherapy,and main toxicities were observed.Results Compared with those before chemotherapy,there were no significant decrease on the level of ALB,PA and HB in treatment group(all P ＞ 0.05),while those indicators in control group was significantly decreased (all P ＜ 0.05).After chemotherapy,CD4,CD8,CD4/CD8 and IgA,IgG,IgM levels of the two groups were lower than those before chemotherapy (all P ＜ 0.05),and the levels of immune indicators of the treatment group were significantly higher than those of the control group(all P ＜ 0.05).The main toxicities in two groups were nausea and vomiting,diarrhea and mild bone marrow suppression,and the body weight in control group decreased (0.91 ± 0.53)kg,while it increased (0.45 ± 0.21)kg in treatment group (t =5.53,P ＜0.05).Conclusion PN treatment for breast cancer patients during chemotherapy can improve nutrition status and immune function,enhance the tolerance of chemotherapy,so as to improve curative effect and prognosis.
