: The nanocomposites containing hydroxyapatite (HA) and biomacromolecules have attracted considerable research interest in implants, tissue scaffolds and drug controlled delivery. In this study, the N-carboxyethylchitosan/hydroxyapatite (NCECS/HA) nanoparticles were prepared by the ionic diffusion process in a controlled manner. The crystallization, particle size, size distribution and aggregation morphology of the NCECS/HA nanocomposites were dependent on the mole ratio of the glucosamine unit in NCECS to the Ca2+. Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopic (FTIR) result indicated that there are chemical bonds formed between NCECS and HA. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that the crystallization of HA in NCECS matrix was significantly retarded. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results revealed that NCECS/HA nanocomposites have the spherical morphology with the diameter ranging from 10 to 40 nm. The NCECS mineralization is driven by the self-assembly of NCECS and HA. These NCECS/HA nanocomposites have potential applications as the carrier for the controlled delivery of growth factors and drugs.

: Embryogenic callus of Phalaenopsis amabilis derived from leaf tissue was cocultivated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404 harboring a plant cloning vector. The vector carried the lipid transfer protein (LTP) encoding gene cloned from cold tolerant Brazilian upland rice cv. IAPAR 9. The highest transformation efficiency (12.16%) was obtained when 1-2 mm calli were infected and cocultivated with 0.4 (OD600) A. tumefaciens for 20 min. Transgene integration of kan-resistant plants was confirmed through polymerase chain reaction analysis and Southern hybridization. Four hundred seventy transgenic plants, each derived from an independent protocorm-like body, were obtained. The expression of rice cold-inducible LTP gene in transgenic P. amabilis improved its adaptive responses to cold stress. The examination of transgenic plants revealed that enhanced cold tolerance was most likely due to the increased accumulation of several compatible solutes such as total soluble sugars, proline, antioxidant superoxide dismutase, decreased accumulation of malondialdehyde, and maintained electrolytes within the membrane compared with controls.

: Let d be the smallest generator number of a finite p-group P, and let M-d(P) = {P-1, P-2,..., P-d) be a set of maximal subgroups of P such that boolean AND(d)(i=1) P-i = Phi(P). Then P is called M-permutable in a finite group G, if there exists a subgroup B of G such that G = PB and PiB < G for any P-i of M-d(P). In this article, we investigate the influence of M-permutability of some primary subgroups in finite groups. Some new results about supersolvable groups and formations are obtained.

: The beta-cyclodextrin cross-linked polymer (beta-CDCP) was synthesized and used as solid-phase extraction material to preconcentrate/analysis bovine serum albumin (BSA) coupled with UV-vis spectroscopy. The method based on the complex (BSA-phenylfluorone (PF)) adsorbed on beta-CDCP. Adsorption kinetics and various factors of the formation procedure of BSA-PF and its retention on beta-CDCP were investigated. The linear range and detection limit (DL) was 20.0-200.0 and 0.03 mg/L, respectively. Moreover. the beta-CDCP could be used repeatedly. The proposed method has been applied to analysis serum albumin with satisfactory results. (c) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

: The rice stem borer, Chilo suppressalis Walker, is an economically important pest distributed in rice producing regions of China To understand its molecular adaptation, the authors cloned the cDNA sequence of CcsHsp90 which is essential for dealing with many environmental stresses in all organisms and measured the mRNA expression in the diapausing larvae exposed to temperature stress The results showed that CcsHsp90 (GenBank accession no FJ866608) is potentially encoded to 312 amino acids with calculated molecular weight of 35 59KDa and the theoretical isoeletric point of 4 72 The deduced amino acid sequence of CcsHsp90 is displayed over 80% of the degree of conservation to other Lepidopteran insects The relative mRNA expression levels of CcsHsp90 in the diapausing larvae which were exposed to different temperatures from 28 degrees C (CK) to -14 degrees C with a gradient of 7 degrees C for 4h increased first and decreased later and peaked at 0 C Then the larvae were exposed to 0 degrees C for 0 similar to 8h, the change of the levels was the same as the above and peaked at 4h treatment Therefore, it could be concluded that 0 degrees C for 4h treatment might induce the maximal expression of CcsHsp90 in the diapausing larvae of the rice stem borer

: The avian H5N1 influenza virus has the potential to cause a new pandemic. The increasing number of recent outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 in birds and humans emphasizes the urgent need to develop a potent H5N1 vaccine. Here, we studied the immunogenicity and protective effect of a vaccine prepared from H5N1 inactivated whole virus. This vaccine was intranasally co-administered in mice with phosphate buffered saline, recombinant cholera toxin B subunit (rCTB), cholera toxin (CT), rCTB containing a trace amount of holotoxin (rCTB/CT), polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid double-stranded RNA (polyI:C), or MF59 as an adjuvant. Intranasal administration of H5N1 inactivated whole virus vaccine with rCTB, CT, rCTB/CT, polyI:C, and MF59 elicited an immunological response with both secretory IgA (sIgA) in nasal, lung, and vaginal lavage, and IgG antibody in serum, showing protective immunity against lethal H5N1 infection. Cross-clade protection was also observed in animals immunized with a vaccine derived from Anhui/01/2005(H5N1) with rCTB, CT, rCTB/CT, polyI:C, or MF59 as adjuvants that were subsequently challenged with the A/OT/SZ/097/03 influenza strain.

: An efficient, one-pot tandem reaction of pyridine, an alpha-haloacetate, an aromatic aldehyde and cyclohexane-1,3-dione, dimedone or 4-hydrocoumarin in acetonitrile using 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane as a basic catalyst is described. The products, 2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-4(5H)-benzofuranones and 2,3-dihydrofurocoumarins, are obtained in a diastereoselective manner via a mechanism involving in situ formation of a pyridinium ylide. H-1 NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray analysis indicates that the products are formed exclusively as the trans isomers.

: Na-doped ZnO nanowires with an average diameter of similar to 40 nm have been fabricated by a thermal decomposition route at temperatures around 400 degrees C. Their properties have been investigated using X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscope, Raman spectra, photoluminescence spectra and Xray photoelectron spectra. Photoluminescence spectra showed that the as-synthesized ZnO samples exhibited strong visible emission with a major peak at 420 nm. Furthermore, intensity of the visible emission at 420 nm enhanced as the increase of Na concentration. The improvement of visible emission in the Na-doped ZnO samples should be a result of the surface defects increased by doping of Na in ZnO. Their antibacterial activities were also evaluated by determination of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against Escherichia coli 25922 in vitro. Antibacterial tests indicated these nanomaterials showed good antibacterial properties after UV illumination for a short time. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

: Global Gene Profiling of Laser-Captured Pollen Mother Cells Indicates Molecular Pathways and Gene Subfamilies Involved in Rice Meiosis

: Pollen mother cells (PMCs) represent a critical early stage in plant sexual reproduction in which the stage is set for male gamete formation. Understanding the global molecular genetics of this early meiotic stage has so far been limited to whole stamen or floret transcriptome studies, but since PMCs are a discrete population of cells in developmental synchrony, they provide the potential for precise transcriptome analysis and for enhancing our understanding of the transition to meiosis. As a step toward identifying the premeiotic transcriptome, we performed microarray analysis on a homogenous population of rice (Oryza sativa) PMCs isolated by laser microdissection and compared them with those of tricellular pollen and seedling. Known meiotic genes, including OsSPO11-1, PAIR1, PAIR2, PAIR3, OsDMC1, OsMEL1, OsRAD21-4, OsSDS, and ZEP1, all showed preferential expression in PMCs. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways significantly enriched in PMC-preferential genes are DNA replication and repair pathways. Our genome-wide survey showed that, in the buildup to meiosis, PMCs accumulate the molecular machinery for meiosis at the mRNA level. We identified 1,158 PMC-preferential genes and suggested candidate genes and pathways involved in meiotic recombination and meiotic cell cycle control. Regarding the developmental context for meiosis, the DEF-like, AGL2-like, and AGL6-like subclades of MADS box transcription factors are PMC-preferentially expressed, the trans-zeatin type of cytokinin might be preferentially synthesized, and the gibberellin signaling pathway is likely active in PMCs. The ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis pathway is enriched in the 127 genes that are expressed in PMCs but not in tricellular pollen or seedling.

: The floral headspace compounds of Chinese Rosa rugosa germplasms that were isolated by an automated headspace sampler with built-in trap, and followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for identification and quantification. Up to 33 volatile compounds were identified from the 23 rose germplasms, including nine alcohols, five esters, three alkanes, 10 terpenes, three aldehydes, two ketones, and one ether. The main floral components identified were 2-phenylethanol, beta-citronellol, ethanol, and n-hexane. 'xizi', 'miaofengshan', 'xiangciguo', and 'tangbai' contained the highest amounts of 2-phenylethanol at 84.66 mu g.g(-1), beta-citronellol at 70.98 mu g.g(-1), ethanol at 83.87 mu g.g(-1), and n-hexane at 18.23 mu g.g(-1), respectively. 'Rongchengyesheng', 'tanghong', 'xizi', 'miaofengshan', and 'baizizhi' could be considered good materials for extracting rose oil and breeding new cultivars.

: C-type starch, which is a combination of both A-type and B-type crystal starch, is usually found in legumes and rhizomes. We have developed a high-amylose transgenic line of rice (TRS) by antisense RNA inhibition of starch branching enzymes. The starch in the endosperm of this TRS was identified as typical C-type crystalline starch, but its fine granular structure and allomorph distribution remained unclear. In this study, we conducted morphological and spectroscopic studies on this TRS starch during acid hydrolysis to determine the distribution of A- and B-type allomorphs. The morphology of starch granules after various durations of acid hydrolysis was compared by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The results showed that amorphous regions were located at the center part of TRS starch subgranules. During acid hydrolysis, starch was degraded from the interior of the subgranule to the outer surface, while the peripheral part of the subgranules and the surrounding band of the starch granule were highly resistant to acid hydrolysis. The spectroscopic changes detected by X-ray powder diffraction, C-13 cross-polarization magic-angle spinning NMR, and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared showed that the A-type allomorph was hydrolyzed more rapidly than the B-type, and that the X-ray diffraction profile gradually changed from a native C-type to a CB-type with increasing hydrolysis time. Our results showed that, in TRS starch, the A-type allomorph was located around the amorphous region, and was surrounded by the B-type allomorph located in the peripheral region of the subgranules and the surrounding band of the starch granule. Thus, the positions of A- and B-type allomorphs in the TRS C-type starch granule differ markedly from those in C-type legume and rhizome starch.

: The Fe3O4 ferrofluids have been prepared using sodium alginate (Na-AL) as a stabilizing agent The alginate can prevent the aggregation of magnetic nanoparticles and hence contributed to higher stability for the ferrofluids Furthermore the alginate component in the ferrofluids was crosslinked by Ca2+ to produce magnetic microspheres The swelling behavior of magnetic microspheres showed a pH-dependence and hence determined the drug release process under various pH conditions The presence of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles made the magnetic microspheres swell more easily Meanwhile the strong ability to absorb the drug for the incorporated Fe3O4 nanoparticles decreased the release rate and hence was more favorable to the sustaining release of drug Except for the controlled delivery and release of drug the alginate-based ferrofluids and magnetic microspheres in this work might also show a great potential for other biomedical and biotechnological applications such as magnetic targeting magnetic separation and magnetic resonance imaging (C) 2010 Elsevier B V All rights reserved

: This work described a novel type of bismuth/poly(bromocresol purple) film modified glassy carbon electrode (denoted as Bi/Poly(BCP)/GCE) for anodic stripping analysis of trace Cd2+. The Bi/Poly(BCP)/GCE was fabricated in situ by depositing simultaneously bismuth and cadmium by reduction at -1.20 V on the poly(BCP) film using a differential pulse voltammetry. Under the optimum conditions, the anodic stripping peak current response increased linearly with the Cd2+ concentrations in a range of 2.0 x 10(-8)-1.0 x1.0(-7) M and 1.0 x 10(-7)-6.0x10(-6) M in 0.1 M NaAc-Ac buffer solution (pH 5.0) with the detection limit of 6.5 x 10(-9) M (S/N =3). The Bi/poly(BCP)/GCE performed good reproducibility and high sensitivity. Finally, this proposed method was successfully applied to determine the concentration of Cd2+ in water samples.

: The aim of this study was to investigate the adverse effects of triptolide, a diterpenoid triepoxid and a major active component isolated from Triptergium wilfordii Hook.f (TWHF), on various reproductive parameters of female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. Female SD rats were treated with triptolide by oral administration (gastric infusion; 0, 100, 200, and 400 mu g/kg) once-daily for 90 days. During the experimental period, vaginal smears were taken to monitor the estrous phase for the last 30 days. Relative ovary and uterus weights to body and histopathologically changes were determined on the last day. Serum levels of estradiol (E-2), progesterone (P), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteotropic hormone (LH) were assessed by enzyme immunoassay. ER alpha expression in the uterus and ovaries were analyzed from using immunohistochemical detection. The results showed that treatment with 200 and 400 ug/kg of triptolide significantly reduced serum levels of E-2 and P and increased levels of FSH and LH. At these dose levels, relative weights of ovary and uterus were significantly reduced. Qualitative histological analysis of the ovaries revealed a reduction in developing follicles and increase in atretic follicles in treated animals. Further, estrous cycles were prolonged significantly. The expression of ER alpha in ovaries and the uterus decreased in treated animals. These data suggest that triptolide had a direct effect on the ovaries, and the decrease in steroids elicited feedback on FSH and LH. Thus, reduced levels of E-2 and P may affect follicular development, estrous cycle, and expression of ERa.

: In this paper, we give a local Riemann-Roch theorem for certain almost Hermitian manifolds by a canonical connection and the theory of almost Hermitian structure of null eccentricity. In particular, we obtain a local Riemann-Roch theorem for all closed almost complex manifolds of dimension 4. Also, by using the heat equation method, we give an analytic approach to a local index theorem for generalized Dirac operators.

: Exogenous sodium nitroprusside (SNP), a NO donor, was applied in this study to investigate the potential role of NO in photosynthetic performance of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L. cv. Hufan2560) seedlings under salt-stressed conditions. Exogenous NO alleviated the decrease in dry mass of shoot and root caused by salt stress. In parallel, NO application in salt-stressed plants attenuated the decrease in the photosynthetic parameters such as leaf chlorophyll, net photosynthetic rate (P-N), stomatal conductance (gs), transpiration rate (E), the ratio of variable to maximum fluorescence (Fv/Fm), electron transport rate (ETR), the efficiency of excitation energy capture by open photosystem II (PSII) reaction centers (Fv'/Fm'), and the photochemical quenching coefficient (qP), and counteracted the increase in on-photochemical quenching coefficient (qN). Furthermore, the changes as mentioned above reversed by NO treatment are specific to salt stress since application of NO alone to tomato seedlings without salt stress had slight effects on the tested parameters. The results obtained here demonstrated that the photosynthetic performance was improved by NO application in salt-stressed plants and such an improvement was associated with an enhancement of gas-exchange and the actual PSII efficiency, which revealed an important role of NO in enhancing resistance of plants to salt stress.

: Multiferroic ceramics of Bi5Fe1 - xCoxTi3O15(x = 0. 0-0. 6) are synthesized by the conventional solid state reaction, and their microstructure, magnetic and ferroelectric properties are investigated. X-ray diffraction patterns show that a four-layer Aurivillius phase is formed in each sample with a suggested structural transformation at heavy doping of Co ions. The Raman results demonstrate that Co ions enter into the lattice,occupy the B-sites in the BFCT-x and have an effect on the order occupancy of cations at B sites. It is found that the Co ion modification induces remarkable ferromagnetism ( FM) at room temperature with a greatest remanent magnetization (2M(r)) of 2. 3 memu/g at x = 0. 5, which is three orders of magnitude larger than that of Bi5Ti3FeO15( BFTO). All samples with Co doping have ferroelectricity (EM). The remanent polarization (2P(r)) reaches a value of 11 mu C/cm(2) at x = 0. 1, which is about 38. 2% higher than that of BFTO, and then decreases when 0. 2 T) of the BMPR-IB gene in genotype BB compared with AA. The differences of least squares mean (LSM) for litter size between genotypes AA, AB and BB were non-significant (P > 0.05) in Jining Grey goats. For primer P10, three genotypes (CC, CD and DD) were detected in Jining Grey and Wendeng Dairy goats and one genotype (CC) in Inner Mongolia Cashmere goats. Sequencing revealed one mutation (130T -> C) of the BMPR-IB gene in genotype DD compared with CC. The differences of LSM for litter size between genotypes CC, CD and DD were non-significant (P > 0.05) in Jining Grey goats. These results preliminarily showed that the detected loci of the BMPR-IB gene had no significant effect on prolificacy of Jining Grey goats.

: Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I chain-related protein A (MICA), which is a ligand for human NKG2D, is expressed by a variety of epithelial tumor cells and promotes the activation of natural killer (NK), CD8(+) and gamma delta-T cells. Although ectopic expression of MICA on tumor cells elicits anti-tumor responses, soluble MICA downregulates the activities of lymphocytes. In this study, we showed that recombinant, immobilized MICA (iMICA) molecules coated on plastic wells weakly promote peripheral NK cell activation, secretion of interferon (IFN)-gamma and degranulation without inducing apoptosis. In addition, iMICA synergized with IL-15 and soluble 4-1BB ligand (s4-1BBL) to expand NK cells 25-to 42-fold in a 13-day culture, whereas NK cells stimulated only with IL-15 and s4-1BBL expanded 10- to 16-fold. In contrast to NK cells expanded by IL-15 and s4-1BBL stimulation, NK cells expanded long term in the presence of iMICA exhibited increased cytotoxicity against leukemia cells. These results suggest that large numbers of NK cells with high cytotoxicity can be generated by stimulation with IL-15 and s4-1BBL in the presence of iMICA and that these cells can be used for adoptive cancer immunotherapy.

: Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was successfully incorporated into the laponite/chitosan (Chit)-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) using step-by-step self-assembly. The self-assembly processes were monitored by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS). Direct electrochemistry and electrocatalysis of the self-assembled HRP were investigated. Cyclic voltammetry of HRP/laponite/Chit/GCE, in anaerobic phosphate buffer solution (0.025 M PBS, pH 7.0), displayed a pair of stable and quasi-reversible peaks at potentials E-pa = 0.024 V and E-pc = -0.132 V vs. SCE, attributed to the HRP-Fe(III)/HRP-Fe(II) redox couple. The electrochemical reaction of the HRP/laponite/Chit/GCE exhibited a surface-controlled electrode process. The electron transfer rate constant was estimated to be 1.82 s(-1). The self-assembled HRP maintained its biological activity and exhibited an excellent electrocatalytic performance for the reduction of H2O2 with fast amperometric response (10 s). broad linear range (2.9 x 10(-5) to 1.4 x 10(-3) M), good sensitivity (19.7 +/- 0.5 mA M-1 cm(-2)) and low detection limit (5 x 10(-6) M) at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. Moreover, the inhibitory of sulfide to the self-assembled HRP was also investigated. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

: A transcription factor (TF) is a protein that binds to specific DNA sequences and thereby controls transcription. A large number of TFs are found in plants. The AP2/ERF family of TFs contain the AP2 DNA-binding domain, which play important roles in transcriptional regulation in plant life. To understand the AP2/ERF family TFs of maize, the discovery, phylogeny and expression pattern analysis of AP2-like genes from maize were described. A total of 167 AP2-like genes were identified by in silico cloning using the amino acid sequence of AP2/ERF family TFs from Arabidopsis thaliana as the probe. The maize AP2-like genes identified were orthologous to those TFs in Arabidopsis. The AP2/ERF TFs from maize were classified into four subfamilies (DREB, ERF, AP2 and RAV) and a Soloist. Using the EST information of maize as a source of expression data, those AP2-like genes from maize were detected in different plant tissues.

: We study free vibrations of a simply supported three-layer circular cylindrical shell with the inner and the outer layers made of the same homogeneous material and the middle layer composed of a functionally graded material. We use Flugge's shell theory to derive governing equations, express mid-plane displacements in terms of trigonometric functions that identically satisfy the boundary conditions, and compute natural frequencies in terms of the geometrical and the material parameters. Computed results show that the fundamental natural frequency decreases with an increase in the radius-to-thickness ratio, and increases with an increase in the ratio of Young's modulus at the mid-surface to that of the outer (or the inner) layer.

: Target cells for Goose parvovirus (GPV) in natural infection are still unknown. In this study, immune system organs namely the spleen, bone marrow, thymus, bursa of Fabricius, and blood of experimentally GPV-infected goslings were examined by an immunoassay and flow cytometry for the presence of viral antigen and by a PCR for viral genome. The results indicated that the virus replicated in some cells of the spleen and bone marrow, but not in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs). These data suggested that some cell populations in the spleen and bone marrow were targets for GPV infection. In addition, the immunoassay used for the detection of GPV was found comparable with a PCR in reliability and sensitivity.

: The hydrophobic gold nanoparticles were fabricated through n-butanol reduction in situ under microwave irradiation by using p-dodecyloxybenzenmethanamine (C(12)OBA)/n-butanol/n-heptane/HAuCl4/NaOH(aq.) W/O microemulsion as a microreactor. The C(12)OBA-stabilized gold nanoparticles were characterized by UV-vis, TEM, XRD, FT-IR and CA (contact angle), respectively. The results showed that C(12)OBA, a novel surfactant, could not only take part in the formation of a stable W/O microemulsion, but also be used as a good protecting reagent for gold nanoparticles. The increase of alkalinity within the inner-core of microemulsion enhanced the reducing ability of n-butanol located in the membrane phase. As the amount of HAuCl4 was fixed, the increase of molar ratios of C(12)OBA/gold was beneficial to obtain hydrophobic gold nanoparticles with small-size and higher monodispersity; while the increase of polarity of reaction system led to the increase of size and decline of monodispersity of particles. And thus by this method, the hydrophobic gold nanoparticles with about 5 nm-diameter and high monodispersity could be easily and quickly synthesized.

: Inhibitory effect of S-nitroso-glutathione on Eimeria tenella oocysts was mainly limited to the early stages of sporogony

: The objective of this study was to evaluate the action of S-nitroso-glutathione (GSNO) on the sporogony and the mRNA expression for EtCRK2 (a cyclin-dependent kinase related protein-2 in Eimeria tenella) during oocyst sporulation. Meanwhile, the effects of GSNO on the sporozoite excystability and infectivity to chickens were also investigated. The results showed that within 10 h after the initial sporulation, the sporulation process could be interrupted by GSNO treatment, and most of the oocysts failed to continue to sporulate. However, if the sporulation lasted more than 12 h, the sporogony process could not be blocked by GSNO. RT-PCR assay suggested that in the early stage of sporulation, the mRNA expression of EtCRK2 was completely inhibited by GSNO. For the infective oocysts or sporocysts treated by GSNO, the proportion of sporozoite excystation decreased significantly by about 20% and 40%, respectively. However, clinical coccidiosis could be observed in all experimental broilers inoculated with the oocysts or sporocysts treated by GSNO or not. The animal test showed that GSNO treatment reduced the infectivity of sporocysts, whereas it did not alleviate that of oocysts to broilers. Taken together, the data indicated that the viability of sporulated E. tenella oocysts could not be inactivated in vitro by GSNO. The inhibiting action of GSNO on oocysts was mainly limited to the early stages of sporulation, and this may partially associate with the inhibition of EtCRK2 mRNA expression. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.

: The aim of the research presented was to develop a potential liver-targeting prolonged-circulation polymeric prodrug of doxorubicin (Dox) with a pH-triggered drug release profile. In particular, linear dendritic block copolymers composed of polyamidoamine dendrimer (PAMAM) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG; number-average molecular weight of 2000 g mol(-1)) with or without galactose (Gal) were synthesized. Dox was coupled to the copolymers via an acid-labile hydrazone linker. These prodrugs, designated Gal-PEG-b-PAMAM-Dox(n) and mPEG-b-PAMAM-Dox(m), showed accelerated Dox release as the pH decreased from 8.0 to 5.6. Cytotoxicity of the prodrugs was lower than that of free Dox due to the gradual drug release nature. Compared to mPEG-b-PAMAM-Dox(m), Gal-PEG-b-PAMAM-Dox(n) showed rather high cytotoxicity against Bel-7402, suggestive of its galactose receptor-mediated enhanced tumor uptake. This galactose receptor-mediated liver-targeted profile was further confirmed by the prolonged retention time in hepatoma tissue monitored using magnetic resonance imaging. Gal-PEG-b-PAMAM-Dox(n) showed better in vivo antitumor efficacy than free Dox, suggesting its great potential as a polymeric antitumor prodrug. (C) 2010 Society of Chemical Industry

: Background: The vaccination of radiation-attenuated Schistosoma japonicum cercariae can induce effective protection in artiodactyl, but the immune events related to protective immunity are not fully understood. To provide a paradigm for a human recombinant antigen vaccine, we have undertaken a vaccination and challenge experiment in pigs, which was recognized as an appropriate animal model in this type of study because of their similarity to human in immunology, and investigated the relative immune events induced by the radiation-attenuated S. japonicum cercariae.Methods and Findings: We found that pigs immunized once with 400 mu w UV-irradiated cercariae exhibited 63.84% and 71.82% reductions in worm burden and hepatic eggs respectively. Protective immunity in vaccinated pigs was associated with high level productions of IgM, total IgG, IgG1 and IgG2; IgG2 was significantly increased in the acute infection. IFN-gamma levels could be elicited by immunization. At week 6 post-infection, IFN-gamma, IL-4 and IL-10 levels also showed a dramatic rise synchronously in vaccinated pigs. Moreover, the granzyme b, nk-lysin, ifn gamma, il4 and il10 mRNA levels in early skin-draining lymph nodes of immunized pigs were higher than those in pigs with non-irradiated cercariae infection. In addition, cytotoxicity-related genes in the mesenteric lymph nodes were significantly upregulated in vaccinated pigs in the acute infection.Conclusion/Significance: Our results demonstrated that IFN-gamma and IgG2 antibody production, as well as genes related to cytotoxicity are associated with the high level protection induced by UV-irradiated Schistosoma japonicum vaccine. These findings indicated that optimal vaccination against S. japonicum required the induction of IFN-gamma, IgG2 antibody related to Th1 responses and cytotoxicity effect.
