Phytochemical Analysis,Antioxidant, and Wound Healing Activity of Pluchea indica L. (Less) Branch Extract Nanoparticles

Proliferation and migration of keratinocytes and fibroblasts play an important role in cutaneous wound healing, while oral mucosal squamous cell proliferation and migration are crucial for oral wound healing. In this study, the phytochemical profile of Pluchea indica branch ethanolic extract was characterized. The bioactive compound of Pluchea indica branch ethanolic extract was identified and analyzed by the validated HPLC method. The nanoparticles of P. indica branch extract were formulated by solvent displacement method to increase the solubility and the colloidal stability of the extract. The stability of the nanoparticles was investigated by using the dynamic light scattering technique. Effects of P. indica crude extract and nanoparticles on cell viability, proliferation and migration of primary epidermal keratinocytes, human dermal fibroblasts, and oral mucosal keratinocyte cells were investigated by MTT assay and scratch assay, respectively. The results showed that P. indica branch extract contained a high content of total phenolic and total flavonoids. The HPLC analysis revealed that the main compound in the extract was 4,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid. The cell viability of the extract and nanoparticles decreased when cells were exposed to a high concentration of extract and nanoparticles. These results demonstrate that P. indica branch extract and extract nanoparticles at specific concentrations possess in vitro wound healing activity and they may be possibly used to treat different types of wounds including dermal and oral mucosal wounds.     

草果花粉生活力的研究

本文对花粉生活力与主要环境因子的相关性进行了研究。草果花粉为典型的蜂媒花粉，是生活力易受环境因子影响的３－细胞型花粉，在高温与低湿条件下生活力极易丧失。花粉萌发和花粉管生长的最适温度是１２～２４℃之间。硼对其萌发有显著的促进作用，以１０×１０￣（－６）硼酸液处理的效果最佳。

盐胁迫及其钙调节对竹子根系活力和丙二醛含量的影响

选用了６个竹种进行耐盐性研究。在盐胁迫下，各竹种的根活力有所下降，竹笋和叶片中ＭＤＡ则随之积累。然而多数竹种盐胁迫表现出一定的适应性。随着处理时间延长，根活力得到部分回复，膜脂过氧化程度减轻。盐胁迫下竹种之间根活力和ＭＤＡ、含量变化存在一定的差异。Ｃａ＾２＋对翠竹的氯化钠盐害有明显的缓解作用。Ｃａ＾２＋处理可显著地抑制氯化钠诱导的ＭＤＡ积累，部分恢复盐胁迫下的根系活力。     

Behavior of MC3T3-E1 Osteoblast Cultured on Chitosan Modified with Polyvinylpyrrolidone

The physical and chemical properties of four kinds of modified chitosan materials made by blending chitosan with polyvinylpyrrolidone （PVP） were investigated. All four of these modified chitosan materials were hydrophilic with water contact angles ranging from 59°to 69°. Fourier transform-infrared spectra of the modified materials showed a new band at 1288 cm^-1, implying formation of a surface physical interpenetrating network structure. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay results indicated that much less fibronectin was adsorbed on the modified materials than on only chitosan. The viability of MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts cultured on the materials was assessed by 3-（4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl）-2,5-diphenyl- 2H-tetrazolium bromide assay. The results show that adding PVP10000 into the chitosan promotes adhesion of MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts on the modified materials, but has no effect on cell growth and proliferation; while adding PVP40000 reduces cell adhesion, growth, and proliferation. The results suggest that the increased hydrophilicity of the material surface does not always improve its biocompatibility, which will influence the selection and design of biomaterials.

Detection of myocardial viability by low-dose dobutamine Cine MR imaging

The purpose of this work was to test the diagnostic value of dobutamine stress magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for predicting recovery of regional myocardial contractility after revascularization. Cardiac wall motion abnormalities are due to either non-viable and/or scarred, or viable, but hibernating, myocardial tissue. Dobutamine stress leads to increased systolic wall thickening only in viable myocardium. Twenty-five patients with akinetic or dyskinetic myocardial regions were examined with a Cine FLASH-2D sequence at rest and during dobutamine stress (10 μg/kg/min). Patients were re-examined at rest 3, and in case of persisting wall motion defects, 6 months after revascularization. Criterion of viability was increasing end-systolic wall thickening during stress and/or at follow-up. Akinetic regions related either to the LAD (n = 19) or to the RCA (n = 6) were judged viable if >=50% of the affected segments improved. MR studies were completed in all subjects without arrhythmia or need for early terminations due to symptoms. Sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value for the prediction of myocardial viability were 61%, 90%, and 87% for the segment-related analysis, and 76%, 100%, and 100% for the patient-related analysis based on coronary artery distribution, respectively. Dobutamine stress MRI allows to predict global functional recovery of akinetic myocardial regions after revascularization with a high positive predictive value and high specificity.     

Stochastic control with exit time and constraints,application to small time attainability of sets

We study the existence of a solution of controlled stochastic differential equations remaining in a given set of constraints at any time smaller than the exit time of a given open set. We also investigate the small time attainability of a given closed set K, i.e., the property that, for all arbitrary small time horizon T and for all initial condition in a sufficiently small neighborhood of K, there exists a solution to the controlled stochastic differential equation which reaches K before T.
