Hypoxia-Induced Pro-Protein Therapy Assisted by a Self-Catalyzed Nanozymogen

The success of intracellular protein therapy demands efficient delivery and selective protein activity in diseased cells. Therefore, a cascaded nanozymogen consisting of a hypoxia-activatable pro-protein, a hypoxia-inducing protein, and a hypoxia-strengthened intracellular protein delivery nanovehicle was developed. RPAB, an enzymatically inactive pro-protein of RNase, reversibly caged with hypoxia-cleavable azobenzene, was delivered with glucose oxidase (GOx) using hypoxia-responsive nanocomplexes (NCs) consisting of azobenzene-cross-linked oligoethylenimine (AOEI) and hyaluronic acid (HA). Upon NC-mediated delivery into cancer cells, GOx catalyzed glucose decomposition and aggravated tumoral hypoxia, which drove the recovery of RPAB back to the hydrolytically active RNase and expedited the degradation of AOEI to release more protein cargoes. Thus, the catalytic reaction of the nanozymogen was self-accelerated and self-cycled, ultimately leading to a cooperative anti-cancer effect between GOx-mediated starvation therapy and RNase-mediated pro-apoptotic therapy.

大开口复合材料加筋壁板稳定性分析

运用大型有限元软件Patran/Nastran分析了大开口复合材料加筋壁板的稳定性,并对不同加筋方式下壁板屈曲特征值和屈曲模态图进行了比较。结果表明:补强提高了大开口复合材料壁板的稳定性,但往往无法达到很好的效果,需要通过加筋改善其稳定性;加筋复合材料壁板稳定性较原有模型有较大提高;加筋大开口复合材料壁板屈曲特征值随筋条距开口中心距离的增加而减小,其屈曲分界线均位于筋条布置处;纵筋大开口复合材料加筋壁板一阶屈曲特征值为2.13,而横筋只达到1.08;纵筋布置对复合材料壁板稳定性影响明显高于横筋布置,可在实际工程应用中适当增加纵筋的布置。

Preparation, characterization and biocompatibility of poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(n-butyl cyanoacrylate) nanocapsules with oil core via miniemulsion polymerization

A new type of nanocapsules with an oil core, coated by poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) was designed. The loading efficiency and the biocompatibility of the polymeric nanocapsules were evaluated when it was used as a carrier for hydrophobic agent paclitaxel. The nanocapsules were synthesized through miniemulsion polymerization of butylcyanoacrylate (BCA) with PEG as initiator. The particle size and zeta potential of nanocapsules were influenced by the PEG content in the polymerization system. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra and ¹H NMR demonstrated the chemical coupling between PEG and poly(butylcyanoacrylate) (PBCA). Thermal characteristics of the copolymer were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The encapsulation efficiency increased concurrently with the increase of the PEG content in the system. The hemolytic assay and the cytotoxicity measurement showed that the PEG coating could significantly reduce the hemolytic potential and cytotoxicity of the nanocapsules. The results showed that the PEG-PBCA nanocapsules could be an effective carrier for hydrophobic agents.

Evaluation and optimization of fMRI single-subject processing pipelines with NPAIRS and second-level CVA

In functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) analysis, although the univariate general linear model (GLM) is currently the dominant approach to brain activation detection, there is growing interest in multivariate approaches such as principal component analysis, canonical variate analysis (CVA), independent component analysis and cluster analysis, which have the potential to reveal neural networks and functional connectivity in the brain. To understand the effect of processing options on performance of multivariate model-based fMRI processing pipelines with real fMRI data, we investigated the impact of commonly used fMRI preprocessing steps and optimized the associated multivariate CVA-based, single-subject processing pipelines with the NPAIRS (nonparametric prediction, activation, influence and reproducibility resampling) performance metrics [prediction accuracy and statistical parametric image (SPI) reproducibility] on the Fiswidgets platform. We also compared the single-subject SPIs of univariate GLM with multivariate CVA-based processing pipelines from SPM, FSL.FEAT, NPAIRS.GLM and NPAIRS.CVA software packages (or modules) using a novel second-level CVA. We found that for the block-design data, (a) slice timing correction and global intensity normalization have little consistent impact on the fMRI processing pipeline, but spatial smoothing, temporal detrending or high-pass filtering, and motion correction significantly improved pipeline performance across all subjects; (b) the combined optimization of spatial smoothing, temporal detrending and CVA model parameters on average improved between-subject reproducibility; and (c) the most important pipeline choices include univariate or multivariate statistical models and spatial smoothing. This study suggests that considering options other than simply using GLM with a fixed spatial filter may be of critical importance in determining activation patterns in BOLD fMRI studies.
