    Objective To prepare 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldana-mycin poly-butylcyanoacrylate nanoparticles(17-AAG-PBCA-NPs) and study the anticancer activity of 17-AAG poly-butylcyanoacrylate nanoparticles. Methods 17-AAG was encapsulated in PBCA-NPs by interfacial polymerization method. Using single factor analysis combined with orthogonal design to compare the effect factors on 17-AAG-PBCA-NPs, optimizing the preparation method of 17-AAG-PBCA-NPs. Nanoparticle size analyzer, TEM and SEM were used to identify and analyze the characteristics of 17-AAG-PBCA-NPs. The dynamic dialysis method was used to determine the in vitro release of 17-AAG-PBCA-NPs. Results Optimal dosage of drug mass ratio was 1∶10. The conditions of the reaction system were: pH 2, 1 200 r/min, F-68, 3% Dextran70. The time of polymerization was 3 hours. The optimal encapsulation efficiency was more than 90%. The morphology of 17-AAG-PBCA-NPs was spherical shape with (180.5±12.0) nm in diameter and the Zeta potential ranged from -20 to -30 mV. The release of 17-AAG-PBCA-NPs in vitro was determined by dynamic dialysis method and it has been shown that the release of drug from the PBCA-NPs exhibited a rapid burst release followed by a sustained release. 17-AAG-PBCA-NPs showed good stability in plasma. 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide(MTT) assay of the 17-AAG-PBCA-NPs and 17-AAG using HepG2, A375, HeLa, MCF-7 and SHSY5Y cell line showed that the 17-AAG-PBCA-NPs and 17-AAG inhibited the growth of HepG2, A375, HeLa, MCF-7 and SHSY5Y cells, showing a time-dependent manner, respectively. Furthermore, in vivo anti-tumor activity of 17-AAG-PBCA-NPs was evaluated in sarcoma bearing mice following intraperitoneal injection. Compared with 17-AAG, 17-AAG-PBCA-NPs achieved superior sustained-release effect, and extended the dosing interval further, increased tolerated dose, reduced the side effect of the drug, and improved the compliance to medication, safety and medication. Conclusion 17-AAG-PBCA-NPs were prepared by using interfacial polymerization method. Further optimization of the preparation method is both beneficial to the characteristic and sustained release effect of 17-AAG-PBCA-NPs.

    To determine whether lymphovascular space involvement (LVSI) in women with early cervical carcinoma is an independent prognostic factor,and how to deal with it. The literature was reviewed using Medline/Pubmed and known literature to determine if LVSI is an independent risk factor in patients with early-stage cervical carcinoma whether undergoing surgery or taking conservative treatment.A total of 34 articles were identified that satisfied the evaluation criteria; in ten LVSI was confirmed not to be an independent risk factor, and cannot be used as a criterion for reserving fertility in early cervical cancer. In 8 cases LVSI was identified to be related to the prognosis. Clinical observation showed that in LVSI-positive patients, conservative treatment need to be chosen with caution. Using LVSI as the independent determining factor for consideration of post radical hysterectomy radiotherapy appears questionable, and it may be related to lymph metastasis.

    Objective To evaluate the cervical pathology among high-risk human papillomavirus(HR-HPV)-negative women with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance(ASCUS) cells and low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion(LSIL), and to investigate the reasonable management strategies for HR-HPV-negative patients with ASCUS and LSIL. Methods In this retrospective study, 356 cases who visited the Department of Gynecology, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University during January 1, 2010 to 31 December 2012, and were HR-HPV-negative/ASCUS and LSIL on Pap smear were included; 306 patients were followed up. All the patients were examined by colposcopy and cervical biopsy if necessary. HR-HPV was detected by hybridization assay II, hybird capture Ⅱ(HC-Ⅱ). SPSS18.0 statistical software was used. Results Of the 202 cases, 16(7.9%) and 14 of 154(9.1%) HR-HPV negative ASCUS and LSIL women developed CIN-Ⅲ or worse compared with 32 of 140(22.9%) and 40 of 223(17.9%) HPV-positive ASCUS and LSIL women(P=0.000). The negative predictive value of HR-HPV testing for CIN-Ⅲ or worse in ASCUS and LSIL women were 87.13% and 84.42%, respectively. When cervical pathological data were further evaluated by age groups in HR-HPV-negative women with ASCUS and LSIL, the risk of ≥ CIN-Ⅱ were significantly different in various age groups(P<0.05), the highest group was 30-39 years old patients(18.2%). Conclusion HR-HPV-negative patients with an ASCUS or LSIL Pap test result have a chance of being cervical high grade lesions, 7.9% and 9.1% of HR-HPV-negative patients with ASCUS or LSIL had CIN-Ⅲ or worse, and 14.3% of these patients had CIN-Ⅱ or worse lesions, the negative predictive value of HR-HPV testing for CIN-Ⅲ or worse were lower. Colposcopy should be done for HR-HPV-negative patients with ASCUS or LSIL.

    Objective To investigate the persistence and clearance data regarding the 13 types of high risk human papillomavirus(HR-HPV) in the population of primary infection. Methods A total of 969 cases of HR-HPV positive patients were followed up between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013. The epidemiological characteristics of HR-HPV persistent infection were analyzed. The age, viral genotyping, HR-HPV multiple genotypes and initial viral load were evaluated. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software for Windows (version 18.0). The Kaplan-Meier survival function was used for calculating the time taken for the clearance of HR-HPV. The role of a group of independent variables concerning the time taken until clearance was evaluated using a Cox proportional-hazards regression model. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results The average time of viral clearance was 9.52 months for all of 969 cases(9.09-9.95 months 95% CI). Older women had longer clearance time than the younger women groups(χ2=7.63, P=0.45). It was found that HPV-56, 35, 58, 52 and 18 had the lower probability of being cleared, when that HPV-45, 51 and 68 had the shorter time to be cleared. It was also found that multiple viral infection had the lower probability of being cleared than the single ones(χ2=18.67, P=0.000). Lower viral loads had better clearance compared to those having higher viral loads(χ2=18.68, P=0.000)). It was shown that age (regression coefficient=-0.082, P=0.046)and single or multiple HR-HPV infection (regression coefficient=-0.231, P=0.037) were associated with time to clearance in the present sample, while the lower or higher viral loads (regression coefficient=-0.185, P=0.108) was not associated with time to clearance in the Cox proportional-hazards regression model. Conclusion HPV infection clearance in this study was related to factors such as age, infection type, viral load and the multiple or single viral infections.

    Objective To study epidemiological characteristics of population who underwent opportunistic screening for high risk-human papillomavirus(HR-HPV) infection, and to explore the relationship between HR-HPV infection and cervical precancerous lesions. Methods Data from 2 305 patients, according the inclusion criteria, who underwent HR-HPV DNAs and cervical cytology tests at the outpatient department of OB & GYN, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012, were collected. HR-HPV DNAs were detected by hybrid capture-Ⅱ(HC-Ⅱ) method, cervical exfoliated cells were collected and inspected. SPSS 18.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results 1) The infection rate of HR-HPV of the screening crowd was 34.84%, of which the young women(20-24 years old) is the highest(50.0%). With aging, the rate decreased gradually, the lowest rate of women aged 45-49 years(24.18%). It increased again after the age of 55 years(47.02%), showing second peak of infection. The age distribution of positive rate of cervical cytology tests also had two peaks, consistent with characteristics of age distribution of HR-HPV infection rate. 2) HR-HPV infection rates were respectively 23.98%, 66.47%, 87.21%, 98.04% and 100% in normal or inflammation, atypical squamous cells undetermined significance(ASCUS), low squamous intraepithelial lesion(LSIL), high squamous intraepithelial lesion(HSIL), squamous of cervical carcinoma(SCC), thin preparation test(TCT) results, respectively. HR-HPV infection rates of subjects with normal cervical biopsy or inflammation, cervical intraepithelial lesions(CIN)-Ⅰ, CIN-Ⅱ, CIN-Ⅲ, ASCUS, LSIL, HSIL and SCC were 67.44%, 86.96%, 88.24%, 94.57%, 90.48%, respectively. With the increasing level of cervical cytology lesions and cervical histological lesions, the rate of HR-HPV infection significantly increased. 3) In ASCUS patients, the incidence of high-grade cervical lesions was 31.73%, which in HR-HPV positive group was 36.93% and in negative group was 21.43%. The difference was statistically significant between the two groups(χ2=4.13, P=0.042). 4) In LSIL patients, the incidence of high-grade cervical lesions was 34.40%, which in HR-HPV positive group was 37.37% and in negative group was 14.29%. The difference was statistically significant between the two groups(χ2=5.76, P=0.016). Conclusion The infection rate of HR-HPV and the abnormal rate of cervical cytology are different with different age. Younger than 24 years and ≥ 55 years were peak of both of HR-HPV infection and abnormal cytology. HR-HPV infection and cervical lesion severity was positively correlated. Patients for ASCUS and LSIL of cervical cytology, if HR-HPV positive, will increase the probability of CIN-Ⅱ and above lesions, but negative patients cannot be excluded from high-grade cervical lesions, the colpscopic examination is necessary.

The protein expression of Notch2 in Notch2-siRNA group(0.350±0.009) was significantly decreased, compared to the blank group (1.000±0.015) and RNAi control group(0.990±0.017). Down-regulation of Notch2 decreased the mRNA expression of Hes1(Hes1 vs the blank group, P=0.015, Hes1 vs RNAi control group, P=0.014), but has no effect on the expression of Hes2, Hes4 and Hes6(Hes2 vs the blank group, P=0.178; Hes2 vs RNAi control group, P=0.121; Hes4 vs the blank group, P=0.097, Hes6 vs RNAi control group, P=0.100; Hes6 vs the blank group, P=0.053, Hes6 vs RNAi control group, P=0.088. Neither of down-regulation of Notch1 and Notch2 down-regulate the protein expression of Hes1. Conclusion The downstream target gene of Notch1 is Hes1 and Hes6, and the downstream target gene of Notch2 is Hes1. Our results indicate that Notch1 and Notch2 have different regulatory effects on the expressions of Hes family genes.

    Objective To establish different 6-hydroxydopamine(6-OHDA) lesioned mice model, we evaluated the behavioral, neurochemical and histological effect of different dosage injection of 6-OHDA on motor dysfunction and dopamine denervation. Methods Different doses of 6-OHDA(4 μg, 6 μg, 8 μg, 10 μg) were injected into the right dorsal striatum under the facilitation of stereotactic equipment. The body weight after 6-OHDA injection was observed. Apomorphine-induced rotation and rota-rod test were used to estimate motor impairment. Tyrosine hydroxylase(TH) immunostaining was performed to determine the dopaminergic cell loss. Dopamine(DA) content was determined by HPLC. Results 10 μg 6-OHDA injection induced a temporary weight loss, while as other dose of 6-OHDA had no obvious effect on the body weight of mice. At the 1st week after the injection of 6-OHDA, the positive apomorphine induced rotation was observed and this rotational performance was stable for at least 5 weeks. The mice of 8 μg and 10 μg 6-OHDA injection decreased the latency time on the rota-rod. TH-immunolabeling indicated that the 4 μg and 6 μg 6-OHDA injections reduced the number of 60% DA neurons and 40% fibers, as well as 8 μg and 10 μg 6-OHDA injections reduced the number of 80% DA neurons and 70% fibers. Besides, 6-OHDA injection leads to the significant decrease of striatal DA and its metabolites. The decreased of DA content showed a positive correlation with the injection dosage of 6-OHDA, and a negative correlation with dopamine availability(DOPAC+HVA/DA). Conclusion 4 μg and 6 μg 6-OHDA injection induced partial lesions of the nigrostriatal DA system to mimic the early phases of Parkinson's disease(PD). 8 μg and 10 μg 6-OHDA injection induced completely lesions of the nigrostriatal DA system to mimic the late phases of PD.

    Objective To establish a transgenic mouse which may over express insulin-like growth factor binding protein-4(IGFBP-4) in the brain, in order to explore the effect of IGFBP-4 on brain development. Methods The neuron-specific transgene expression cassette of IGFBP-4 was constructed and then microinjected into the fertilized mouse egg. The genotype of the transgenic mice was identified using PCR. The expression of IGFBP-4 protein in the brain was detected by Western blotting, and the spatial expression of IGFBP-4 was detected by immunohistochemistry. Both weights of body and brain of mice were measured. Results Exogenous IGFBP-4 cDNA was successfully integrated into the mouse genome and stably passaged. The expression of IGFBP-4 protein in the adult brain was increased by 267% in the transgenic mouse, while its spatial expression pattern was similar to that in the wild type mouse. The body weight was insignificantly changeable, but the whole brain weight was found an 8.4% increase in transgenic mice(P<0.05). Especially, the weight of brain stem increased by 16.5%(P<0.05), with no significant changes in other areas of the brain. Conclusion The exogenous IGFBP-4 cDNA was stably integrated into the transgenic mouse genome, and the over-expression of IGFBP-4 could affect development of certain part of the brain. The newly established IGFBP-4 transgenic mouse may therefore provide a useful animal model for investigating brain development.

    Objective To observe the autophagy of glioma cell induced by ceramide and explore the possible mechanism. Methods The viability of C6 cells was measured by MTT assay. The cell apoptosis was assayed by flow cytometry. Autophagic-related protein expressions of LC3B/LC3A and Beclin-1 were determined by Western blotting. The level of JNK-c-Jun induced by ceramide was measured by Western blotting with or without the treatment of JNK specific inhibitor SP600125. Results After treatment of ceramide for 24 hours, the growth of C6 cells were significantly inhibited in dose-dependent manner(P<0.05); and ceramide increased autophagic cell death also in dose-dependent manner(P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the levels of LC3B/LC3A and Beclin-1 were significantly increased in ceramide treatment group(P<0.05). JNK was activated in the C6 cells exposed to ceramide and the phosphorylation of c-Jun also increased. This activation of autophagy could be reversed by the pre-treatment of SP600125. Conclusion Ceramide may induce autophagy in glioma cell and the mechanism may be related to the activation of JNK-c-Jun signaling pathway.

    Objective To exactly analyze low density lipoprotein(LDL) subclass and examine the association between small dense LDL(sdLDL) and corneal arcus in young patients. Methods We selected 12 cases of young patients with corneal arcus and normal serum lipids. Another 12 control cases with matched age, gender, smoking were recruited from Beijing Anzhen Hospital between March 2014 and October 2014. LDL particle separation was performed by Lipoprint System: LDL subfractions were obtained and sdLDL proportion(% of sdLDL particles) was calculated. sdLDL% was compared with the Student t test between two groups. Logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the correlation between corneal arcus and its related factors. Results SdLDL% was increased in corneal arcus group compared with controls[(19.64±6.52)% vs (13.16±6.29)%]. The difference between the two groups was significant(P=0.020). SdLDL% was significantly associated with corneal arcus(P=0.040) after controlling for age and LDL. SdLDL% played a role in the development of corneal arcus(OR=1.49, 95% CI: 1.01-2.19, P<0.05). Conclusion These findings suggested that young patients with corneal arcus and normal serum lipids had increased level of sdLDL proportion, indicating the abnormality of LDL subclass in such cases.

    Objective We performed this study to explore particular management requirement on sheep experimental implantation of left ventricular assist device(LVAD). Methods In accordance with the Beijing Laboratory Animal Management Regulations, the criteria of American Association for Laboratory Animal Science(AALAS) and the experiences of the other in vivo animal experiments of the LVAD, we implanted the LVAD in the ovine model. The LVADs were implanted in healthy sheep on beating heart. Considering with the characteristics of the animals and in accordance with the requirements of the LVAD, the managements were formulated on aspects of the perioperative, the perioperative and the postoperative. Results In total 6 sheep survived the surgical procedure, one case was terminated because of lung infection 3 days after the surgery, one case was terminated because of the inflow cannula obstruction associated with a thrombus and cellular fibrous tissue growths at the LV apex 25 days after the surgery, and the remaining four cases survived in good condition after implantation and reached the 30 d expectations. Conclusion Careful preparation before the surgery, development of strict surgical procedure, rigorous early postoperative care and a reasonable choice of anticoagulant strategies can effectively improve the success rate of implantable experiments.

    Objective To analyse blood uric acid increasing rate and related risk factors of physical examination population Beijing. Methods The research was performed by analyzing blood uric acid increasing distribution from 258 452 health check-up participants in 2008-2012. Then we chose blood uric acid, body mass index(BMI), lipid, blood pressure and fasting blood glucose subjects in 66 333 physical examinationparticipants in 2012. According to the blood uric acid values the experiments were divided into increased uric acidgroup and uric acid in normal ones. To compare with those two group's abnormal detection rate on BMI, lipid, blood pressure, blood glucose by different age groups. Results The prevalence of uric acid increased rates were 21.8%-27.2% in male and 5.5%-7.9% in female. The comparative difference has statistical significance(P<0.05). The overweight, obesity, dyslipidemia, blood pressure and blood glucose abnormal detection rate of the uric acid group are all higher than those of the normal uric acid group(P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis shows overweight obesity,dyslipidemia, hyperuricemia and hyperglycemia are the risk factors for hyperuricemia. Conclusion In all of the participants, the blood uric acid increasing detected rate in male is higher. Then younger female's uric acid detected rate annually increased. Therefore the health management for the population with blood uric acid increasing should be strengthened for the early detection, diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
