Multifunctional fibrous wound dressings for refractory wound healing

Refractory wounds have always been an important issue to healthcare systems, whose healing process is always delayed by multiple factors, including bacterial infections, chronic inflammation, and excessive exudates, etc. Employing multifunctional wound dressings is recognized as an effective strategy to deal with refractory wounds, which has yielded promising outcomes in recent years. Among these advanced wound dressings, fibrous dressings have gained growing attention due to their unique merits. Such wound dressings have demonstrated great potential in delivering theranostic agents, such as antibacterial agents, anti-inflammatory drugs, growth factors, and diagnostic probes, etc., for the purposes of accelerating wound healing. This paper reviews the development of multifunctional fibrous dressings and their applications in treating refractory wounds. The construction approaches of novel fibrous dressing with capabilities of antibacterial, anti-inflammation, exudate management and diagnosis were also introduced. Furthermore, the existing problems and challenges are also discussed briefly.     

血管内皮生长因子结合可降解壳聚糖治疗大鼠心肌梗塞的研究

摘要:目的 研 究 血 管 内 皮 生 长 因 子 ( vascular endothelial growth factor, VEGF ) 结 合 可 降 解 壳 聚 糖 ( degradablechitosan,DC)对心肌梗塞大鼠的治疗作用。 方法 将 32 只 SD 大鼠随机分为假手术组、模型组、VEGF 组和 VEGF+ DC 组,每组 8 只。 4 组大鼠均采用结扎冠状动脉左前降支的方法进行造模,其中假手术组只穿线不结扎。 造模后, 向模型组大鼠心肌注射 100 μL 生理盐水,VEGF 组大鼠于同一位置注射同体积 VEGF 溶液,VEGF+DC 组大鼠注射 VEGF+DC 溶液。 造模 4 周 后,对 所 有 实 验 大 鼠 进 行 超 声 心 功 能 检 测,考 察 左 心 室 收 缩 期 及 舒 张 期 前 壁 厚 度( LVAW;s 和 LVAW;d) 、左心室收缩期及舒张期内径( LVID;s 和 LVID;d) 、左心室收缩期及舒张期容积( LV Vol;s 和 LV Vol;d) 、左室射血分数( EF% )及短轴缩短率( FS% ) ,血流动力学考察左室舒张末压( EDP ) 和等容收缩期及 舒张期左心室内压力上升最大速率( + dp / dt 和 - dp / dt) ,计算左心室指数( LVM / BW) 并对心肌进行苏木素-伊红 ( HE)染色观察各组实验大鼠心肌病理变化。 结果 VEGF 组和 VEGF+DC 组大鼠的心肌梗塞均得到有效改善,其 中 VEGF+DC 组的改善作用更加显著。 结论 VEGF 结合 DC 对心肌梗塞大鼠的心功能具有改善作用,具有一定的治疗作用。

2017—2019 年北京地区实验动物质量抽检结果分析

摘要:目的 比对分析 2017—2019 年北京地区实验动物微生物及遗传质量监测结果,为实验动物产业发展提供参考。 方法 按照国家和地方现行实验动物检测标准,对北京地区实验动物生产单位进行抽检,并发布检测报告。按照报告数据,对此阶段小鼠、大鼠、豚鼠、地鼠、兔、犬、猴和小型猪共 8 个品种的实验动物按照品种、等级、单位等进行分类,分析质量问题,并与 2014—2016 年同期实验动物质量比对,分析变化趋势。 结果 2017—2019 年分别抽检动物 144、131 和 135 批次,检出不合格批次分别为 30、15 和 17 批。 不合格主要因素为兔、犬及猪免疫不达标(20 批) ,病原感染 20 批,未发现遗传变异。 与 2014—2016 年同期相比,未检出遗传问题相同,免疫不达标状况好转,但病原感染出现上升。 结论 通过质量分析比对,能够为实验动物产业健康发展提供数据支持。     

Theoretical studies on the influence of metallic cations on ring opening of propylene oxide catalyzed by metal-salen complexes

We studied the ring opening of propylene oxide (PO) by salen-M coordinated OH⁻ group [M = Al(III), Sc(III), Cr(III), Mn(III), Fe(III), Co(II), Co(III), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Ru(III) and Rh(III)]. The results show that the ring-opening energy barriers for M(II) complexes are much lower than those with M(III) complexes in the gas phase, and the barriers correlate linearly with the negative charges on the OH⁻ group and the Fukui function condensed on the OH⁻ group. The nucleophilicity ordering in the gas phase can be rationalized by the ratio of formal positive charges/radius of M cations. Solvent effect greatly increases the barriers of M(II) complexes but slightly changes the results of M(III) ones, making the barriers similar. Analysis indicates that the reaction heats are linearly proportional to the reverse reaction barriers. The relationships established here can be used to estimate the ring-opening barriers and to screen epoxide ring-opening catalysts.
