ABSTRACT
ObjectiveOvarian cancer is the third most common gynecologic cancer worldwide， with the second highest mortality rate among gynecologic cancers， and age-standardized rates are gradually increasing in many low- and middle-income countries. At present， its etiology and pathogenesis are not clear. There are no obvious symptoms in the early stage， and when the symptoms become obvious， it often indicates the advanced stage. The 5-year survival rate of the advanced stage is only 17%， which poses a great threat to women's health. Therefore， an in-depth study of the etiology and pathogenesis of ovarian cancer is very important to the exploration of prevention and treatment methods for ovarian cancer. Based on the clinical characteristics of ovarian cancer in traditional Chinese and Western medicine， and combined with the existing evaluation methods of animal models， this study evaluated the animal model of ovarian cancer， and provided analysis and suggestions. MethodThis study searched China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI）， Wanfang data， VIP information database， and PubMed database using the keywords "ovarian cancer" and "animal model"， excluded the articles that did not meet the criteria， and then classified the remaining studies. Combined with the clinical diagnostic criteria of Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation， the related indicators of ovarian cancer animal models were assigned and the degree of agreement was evaluated. ResultThe use of the transplanted animal model exhibited the highest frequency， followed by that of the induced model. The degree of agreement of traditional Chinese medicine for each model was lower than that of Western medicine. The induced ovarian cancer model had a high degree of clinical agreement and was similar to human ovarian cancer in terms of tumor growth pattern， disease progression and complications， which is an ideal animal model of ovarian cancer. Although this animal model can simulate the etiology and pathogenesis of ovarian cancer to a certain extent and reflect some indicators of traditional Chinese and Western medicine， it lacks differentiation of traditional Chinese medicine syndromes. ConclusionOn the basis of the original model， the animal model of ovarian cancer was added with Qi deficiency syndrome， blood deficiency syndrome， Qi stagnation syndrome， blood stasis syndrome， heat-toxin syndrome， and Yang deficiency syndrome to establish an animal model combining traditional Chinese medicine disease and syndrome of ovarian cancer， which could better simulate the clinical actual situation of traditional Chinese and Western medicine and lay a solid foundation for the study of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine for the treatment of ovarian cancer.
ABSTRACT
Microglial surveillance plays an essential role in clearing misfolded proteins such as amyloid-beta, tau, and α-synuclein aggregates in neurodegenerative diseases. However, due to the complex structure and ambiguous pathogenic species of the misfolded proteins, a universal approach to remove the misfolded proteins remains unavailable. Here, we found that a polyphenol, α-mangostin, reprogrammed metabolism in the disease-associated microglia through shifting glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation, which holistically rejuvenated microglial surveillance capacity to enhance microglial phagocytosis and autophagy-mediated degradation of multiple misfolded proteins. Nanoformulation of α-mangostin efficiently delivered α-mangostin to microglia, relieved the reactive status and rejuvenated the misfolded-proteins clearance capacity of microglia, which thus impressively relieved the neuropathological changes in both Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease model mice. These findings provide direct evidences for the concept of rejuvenating microglial surveillance of multiple misfolded proteins through metabolic reprogramming, and demonstrate nanoformulated α-mangostin as a potential and universal therapy against neurodegenerative diseases.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the current situation and related factors of facial trauma in school age children in urban areas of Fuyang, and to provide basis for child facial trauma prevention.@*Methods@#By cluster stratified random sampling method, a questionnaire survey was conducted among parents of school age children aged 3-6 in four kindergartens in Fuyang City. A total of 1 062 valid questionnaires were included.@*Results@#A total of 146 (13.7%) children with facial trauma were included. The ratio of boys to girls was 1.84∶1.In primary and secondary classes in kindergarten, the reporting rate of boys (24.5%,16.4%) was higher than that of girls (13.4%, 9.0%), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ 2=6.66, 4.25, P <0.05).The incidence of facial trauma was highest (19.4%) in junior kindergarten class children, which decreased with age. Falls injury(61.6%) was the leading cause of facial trauma. Most of facial trauma occurred in family (55.5%) and kindergarten (26.0%). Forehead (26.0%) and mandible (21.2%) were the main injured body sites. Skin laceration (81.5%) was the main type of injury. Facial trauma mostly occurred at 11:00-13:00(19.9%) and 17:00-19:00(27.4%), during June to August (39.7%). The results of univariate analysis showed that the facial trauma of preschool children was associated with gender, class, parentrated child temperament, parental education and family type( χ 2=14.51,18.84,39.66,6.56,12.31, P <0.05).@*Conclusion@#Facial trauma in preschool children in Fuyang is common, which varies in gender, class, temperament and family type.
ABSTRACT
Cadmium sulfide nanoparticles are a new type of semiconductor nanomaterials used in many applications. Studies have shown that cadmium sulfide nanoparticles have toxic effects on the reproductive system， liver， and kidney of the body， and the toxicities are affected by various factors. This paper summarized the current research on the toxicity of cadmium sulfide nanoparticles at home and abroad， and reviewed the latest research progress on the mechanisms of its toxic effects and influencing factors.
ABSTRACT
High-density lipoproteins (HDL) are naturally-occurring nanoparticles that are biocompatible, non-immunogenic and completely biodegradable. These endogenous particles can circulate for an extended period of time and transport lipids, proteins and microRNA from donor cells to recipient cells. Based on their intrinsic targeting properties, HDL are regarded as promising drug delivery systems. In order to produce on a large scale and to avoid blood borne pollution, reconstituted high-density lipoproteins (rHDL) possessing the biological properties of HDL have been developed. This review summarizes the biological properties and biomedical applications of rHDL as drug delivery platforms. It focuses on the emerging approaches that have been developed for the generation of biomimetic nanoparticles rHDL to overcome the biological barriers to drug delivery, aiming to provide an alternative, promising avenue for efficient targeting transport of nanomedicine.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the anatomical structure and the distribution of the right posterior sectional Glissonean pedicle so as to provide the anatomical basis for liver resection of the right posterior section.Method By studying the morphological features of the right posterior sectional Glissonean pedicle through peeling and dissecting 20 adult corpses without liver pathological.Result In 95％ of the right posterior sectional Glissonean pedicles there were shared branches.The angle between the GRL/GRA was 81.4° ± 13.8°.In 30％,the right posterior sectional Glissonean pedicle presented as a Y or a V.In a Y shaped,the angle between G6/G7 was 71 ° ±3.92°.The shapes of 70％ of the right posterior sectional Glissonean pedicle presented as a C.The number of branches at the tertiary level was between 3-8.Conclusion The distribution of the right posterior sectional of the Glissonean pedicle did not entirely fit the description of Couinaud's segments.Obvious individual differences existed.Under this circumstance,understanding the anatomy of the right posterior sectional Glissonean pedicle before carrying out partial hepatectomy would be helpful in reducing surgical risks and postoperative complications.
ABSTRACT
Liver has great ability in regeneration,and liver regeneration is closely related to the prognosis of patients who received liver surgeries.The mechanisms of liver regeneration include biochemical theory and hemodynamic theory.Portal perfusion with moderate pressure is an important factor for starting liver regeneration.Hepatic artery buffer response,fluid shear stress and gasotransmitter play important roles in the liver regeneration.Learning the mechanisms of hemodynamic signal is of great importance for the treatment of liver diseases.
