RPV‐modified epirubicin and dioscin co‐delivery liposomes suppress non‐small cell lung cancer growth by limiting nutrition supply

Chemotherapy for non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is far from satisfactory, mainly due to poor targeting of antitumor drugs and self‐adaptations of the tumors. Angiogenesis, vasculogenic mimicry (VM) channels, migration, and invasion are the main ways for tumors to obtain nutrition. Herein, RPV‐modified epirubicin and dioscin co‐delivery liposomes were successfully prepared. These liposomes showed ideal physicochemical properties, enhanced tumor targeting and accumulation in tumor sites, and inhibited VM channel formation, tumor angiogenesis, migration and invasion. The liposomes also downregulated VM‐related and angiogenesis‐related proteins in vitro. Furthermore, when tested in vivo, the targeted co‐delivery liposomes increased selective accumulation of drugs in tumor sites and showed extended stability in blood circulation. In conclusion, RPV‐modified epirubicin and dioscin co‐delivery liposomes showed strong antitumor efficacy in vivo and could thus be considered a promising strategy for NSCLC treatment.     

Influences of simulated gastrointestinal environment on physicochemical properties of gold nanoparticles and their implications on intestinal epithelial permeability

Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) hold great promise in food, industrial and biomedical applications due to their unique physicochemical properties. However, influences of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), a likely route for Au NPs administration, on the physicochemical properties of Au NPs has been rarely evaluated. Here, we investigated the influence of GIT fluids on the physicochemical properties of Au NPs (5, 50, and 100?nm) and their implications on intestinal epithelial permeability in vitro. Au NPs aggregated in fasted gastric fluids and generated hydroxyl radicals in the presence of H₂O₂. Cell studies showed that GIT fluids incubation of Au NPs affected the cellular uptake of Au NPs but did not induce cytotoxicity or disturb the intestinal epithelial permeability.     

乳腺密度对浸润性小叶癌术前MRI评估的影响

目的:探讨MRI在浸润性小叶癌(ILC)术前诊断中的应用价值，并评估乳腺密度对其影响。方法:选取75例术前30天内行MRI检查的I-Ⅲ期ILC患者列入本项研究，根据腺体含量评估乳腺密度，在MRI下测量肿瘤大小，并对比其与病理大小的一致性。结果:75例入组患者中26例（34.7%）患者经MRI评估发现新的可疑病灶，20例（26.7%）患者改变了手术方式。高密度乳腺型患者额外病灶检出率明显高于低密度乳腺型患者（51.6% vs 22.7%，P=0.010）。MRI评估肿瘤大小在低密度乳腺型患者中容易被低估（36.4% vs 12.9%，P=0.024），在高密度乳腺型患者中容易被高估（6.8% vs 29.0%，P=0.010），但两组患者与病理大小一致性的比例无明显差异。结论:ILC患者术前乳腺MRI检查能够提高额外恶性肿瘤的检出率，而乳腺密度是影响MRI评估的重要因素。     

微信平台结合病例教学在超声专业住院医师规范化培训中的应用

超声专业的住院医师规范化培训既需要重视理论教学，更讲究“看图说话”，即以大量的超声病例为基础，训练住院医师从超声图像中寻找、发现并判别病变，从而形成敏锐的识别诊断能力。本研究利用即时通信工具微信建立虚拟学习平台，通过该平台实施病例教学，可以避免时间和场地的限制，使得师生之间交流更快捷。根据问卷调查，住院医师普遍认为该培训模式可有效提高学习效率、提升专业能力，希望在传统教学基础上加入该培训模式。住院医师的病例分析结果显示，培训过程中住院医师的诊断准确率逐步提升。微信平台结合病例教学可以为超声专业住院医师规范化培训提供新的思路和方法。     

床旁肺部超声在儿童重度社区获得性肺炎中的应用价值

目的:探讨床旁肺部超声在儿童重度社区获得性肺炎(CAP)中的应用价值。方法:收集2016年12月至2018年8月在本院儿童重症监护病房住院并临床诊断为儿童重度CAP的患儿120例,这些患儿均在入院24 h内进行床旁肺部超声及床旁胸片检查。分析儿童重度CAP的床旁肺部超声特点,并与胸片进行比较。结果:儿童重度CAP的床旁肺部超声的特点是A线消失、B线增多、瀑布征、肺实变、支气管充气征、胸腔积液,床旁肺部超声诊断儿童重度CAP的敏感性为99%,特异性为100%,阳性预测值为100%,阴性预测值为50%,阳性似然比∞,阴性似然比为9%,约登指数0.99。结论:床旁肺部超声诊断儿童重度CAP准确可靠,敏感性高、特异性强,具有能随时检测、无辐射等优点,可作为一项儿童重度CAP的辅助诊断工具。     

A Network Pharmacology Study of Reduning Injection for the Treatment of Coronavirus Disease-19

Objective: The 2019 novel coronavirus (2019?nCoV) outbreak has escalated into a global pandemic. According to Chinese guidance for coronavirus disease?19 (COVID?19): Prevention, control, diagnosis, and management, Reduning injection can effectively treat, the disease caused by the virus. To identify the active ingredients of Reduning injection and COVID?19 disease?related pathways, we conducted a network pharmacology study. Methods: The Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology database was used to screen the chemical constituents and potential targets of Reduning injection. The gene names were converted to the corresponding protein names using UniProt. GeneCards and OMIM databases were used to select targets related to 2019?nCoV. Using Cytoscape 3.7.2 software platform and STRING database, we constructed drug?common target and target protein protein?protein interaction network diagrams. Rx64 3.6.2 software and Bioconductor biological information software package were used for? Gene Ontology (GO) functional enrichment and KEGG pathway analyses. Results: In Reduning injection, a total of 33 effective chemical components were obtained that were involved in 151 signaling pathways, of which 44 targets were considered therapeutically relevant. Conclusion: Reduning injection can be potentially applied for the treatment of COVID-19 based on the results of our network pharmacology study.     

PDGF-BB 在乳腺浸润性导管癌中的表达及其临床意义

目的:探讨PDGF-BB在乳腺浸润性导管癌中的表达及其与临床病理特征之间的关系。方法:收集2015年6月至2017年8月新疆医科大学第一附属医院经病理证实的乳腺浸润性导管癌80例，采用免疫组化方法检测癌组织及癌旁组织PDGF-BB表达状况，并分析其与临床病理特征关系。结果:乳腺浸润性导管癌组织中PDGF-BB表达明显高于癌旁组织（57.50% vs 13.75%，P<0.05）；PDGF-BB表达与淋巴结转移（P<0.05）和较高的pTNM分期有关（P<0.05）；而与年龄、月经状态、肿瘤直径、PR、ER、HER-2、有无术后复发转移等临床病理特征无关（P>0.05）。结论:PDGF-BB在乳腺浸润性导管癌的发生及进展中起重要作用，其预后价值仍需进一步评价。     

黄酮类化合物及其纳米制剂在肿瘤防治中的研究进展

传统的肿瘤治疗方法依然存在肿瘤组织可及性差和药物不良反应普遍的问题。黄酮类化合物已被证实对多种类型肿瘤有效，但其安全性和作用部位特异性尚未被评估。然而，膳食黄酮类化合物因溶解度小、代谢快、口服吸收差等特点限制了其在体内抗肿瘤活性的发挥。此外，黄酮类化合物在某些情况下还能通过生物转化等作用与药物相互作用而影响生物利用度。纳米载体因可改变药物的药动学和药效学特征而被设计用于靶向药物传递，提高难溶性药物的生物利用度，将大分子传递到细胞内的作用位点，同时还能减少药物不良反应。体内、外研究均表明，纳米类黄酮制剂，特别是槲皮素、柚皮素、芹菜素、儿茶素和非瑟酮等在多种肿瘤的预防和治疗方面具有潜在作用，但其临床应用价值仍有待阐明。本文就纳米类黄酮制剂在提高生物利用度、肿瘤治疗效果和安全性方面的作用展开综述，为肿瘤治疗药物的开发利用提供新思路。
