Self- and dis-assembly behavior of segmented wormlike nanostructures from an ABC triblock copolymer

Herein, we described the self-assembly of a triblock copolymer, poly(styrene-b-2-vinylpyridine-b-ethylene oxide) (PS-b-P2VP-b-PEO), in THF/water at room temperature to form segmented wormlike nanostructures. We found two different formation mechanisms of the segmented wormlike nanostructures from PS-b-P2VP-b-PEO with different molecular weights. Moreover, the dimension of such segmented wormlike nanostructures depends on the stirring rate. Interestingly, these wormlike nanostructures disassembled gradually when increasing the temperature, which is reversible. After cooling to room temperature the segmented wormlike micelles reformed gradually with stirring. Furthermore, neither intense stirring nor ultrasonic vibration could damage the structure of these wormlike nanostructures which proves their stability and potential application as drug delivery vehicles.

Herein, PS-b-P2VP-b-PEO could self-assemble to form a kind of segmented wormlike nanostructures. Two formation mechanisms were observed. Moreover, such segmented wormlike nanostructures disassembled gradually when increasing the temperature.     

妊娠早期胎儿颈部透明层厚度与胎儿预后的前瞻性队列研究

目的探讨妊娠早期胎儿颈部透明层(NT)厚度与胎儿预后的关系。方法收集2015年12月至2018年12月于南京大学医学院附属鼓楼医院行妊娠早期胎儿NT厚度测量的单胎孕妇,共4958例建立前瞻性研究队列,进行妊娠早期胎儿结构超声筛查、妊娠早期血清学筛查、妊娠中期超声筛查及对新生儿出生后28 d的体格检查。根据妊娠早期超声筛查的结果,分为胎儿NT增厚(≥3.0 mm)者167例与NT厚度正常者4791例;将胎儿NT增厚的孕妇,分为胎儿单纯NT增厚者86例与NT增厚合并结构异常者81例。分析不同NT厚度胎儿的预后,并重点对单纯NT增厚与NT增厚合并结构异常胎儿的妊娠结局进行分析。妊娠早期超声筛查发现胎儿结构异常或血清学筛查结果为高风险的孕妇,经绒毛穿刺取样术行染色体微阵列分析(CMA)检测以明确产前诊断。结果(1)胎儿NT厚度正常孕妇的妊娠结局:共4791例孕妇,包括胎儿NT厚度正常且无结构异常者4726例,其中妊娠中期及产后新诊断结构异常83例,4688例活产;胎儿NT厚度正常但结构异常的孕妇65例,其中61例孕妇终止妊娠,4例活产。(2)胎儿单纯NT增厚孕妇的妊娠结局:86例孕妇中,66例(76.7%,66/86)行CMA检测,3例胎儿诊断为21三体综合征;除7例孕妇选择终止妊娠外,余79例行妊娠中期超声检查、新生儿出生后28 d体格检查、新生儿电话随访至6~21个月均未发现发育异常。(3)胎儿NT增厚合并结构异常孕妇的妊娠结局:81例孕妇中,73例(90.1%,73/81)行CMA检测,其中32例的胎儿为染色体非整倍体异常。70例选择终止妊娠,2例妊娠中期自然流产,9例活产。(4)NT增厚是否合并结构异常胎儿的产前诊断结果及预后比较:单纯NT增厚的胎儿染色体非整倍体的发生率为3.5%(3/86),合并结构异常者为39.5%(32/81),两者比较,差异有统计学意义(χ2=32.7,P<0.01);胎儿单纯NT增厚孕妇的健康新生儿存活率为91.9%(79/86),合并结构异常者为9.9%(8/81),两者比较,差异有统计学意义(χ2=112.3,P<0.01)。结论妊娠早期,超声筛查胎儿NT及结构,能提高出生缺陷的产前筛查率。单纯NT增厚胎儿的染色体非整倍体的发生率较低,新生儿健康存活率较高。     

Human encephalitis caused by pseudorabies virus infection: a case report

Pseudorabies virus (PRV) primarily infects swine but can infect cattle, dogs, and cats. Several studies have reported that PRV can cross the specie barrier and induce human encephalitis, but a definitive diagnosis of human PRV encephalitis is debatable due to the lack of PRV DNA detection. Here, we report a case of human PRV encephalitis diagnosed by the next-generation sequencing (NGS) of PRV sequences in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of a patient. A male pork vendor developed fever and seizures for 6 days. NGS results showed PRV sequences in his CSF and blood. Sanger sequencing showed that PRV DNA in the CSF and PRV antibodies in both the CSF and blood were positive. MRI results revealed multiple inflammatory lesions in the bilateral hemisphere. Based on the clinical and laboratory data, we diagnosed the patient with PRV encephalitis. This case suggests that PRV can infect humans, causing severe viral encephalitis. People at risk of PRV infection should improve their self-protection awareness.

背景:肿瘤干细胞是临床上肿瘤耐药的主要机制,识别并靶向肿瘤干细胞为肿瘤治疗的研究带来了新的思路。目的:探讨在体外以化疗药物富集结肠肿瘤干细胞样群体的可行性。方法:应用前期实验中以药物浓度递增诱导法建立的羟基喜树碱(HCPT)耐药人结肠癌细胞株SW1116/HCPT,免疫荧光标记干细胞表面抗原CD133,Hoechst33342/PI双染流式细胞仪检测、分选侧群(SP)细胞,实时PCR检测干细胞相关和多药耐药相关基因表达。结果:亲代细胞株SW1116中CD133阳性群体和SP群体分别仅占2%和1%,耐药细胞株SW1116/HCPT中则高达7%和61%,多药耐药基因MDR1抑制剂维拉帕米可使两组SP群体均下降至接近0水平。SW1116/HCPT细胞SP群体中干细胞相关基因CD133、Nanog和多药耐药相关基因MDR1、MRP1、MRP2、MRP6 mRNA表达水平较非SP群体显著上调(P0.05)。结论:HCPT药物浓度递增诱导法可成功富集结肠肿瘤干细胞样群体,其SP亚群中存在于细胞相关和多药耐药相关基因高表达。     

Preparation of Indapamide slow-release pellets

During the process of developing a slow-release formulation of indapamide, researchers created a drug-containing pellet coated with Eudragit RS100 (Rohm GMbH & Co. KG, Darmstadt, Germany) to control the rate at which the drug was released. The two main variables were the agglomerants used in the pellet preparation and the amount of Eudragit RS100 used to coat them. The optimal outcome was indicated by the greatest number of drug-containing pellets recovered through an 18- to 24-mesh sieve and a satisfactory 24-hour release curve. The kinetics of dissolution fit the Higuchi kinetics model. Stability tests of the drug pellets showed no notable changes in the rate of drug release, related substances (mean byproducts or impurities from interactions or decompositions), and drug content.
