Poor nuclear delivery and accumulation are the main reasons for the reduced drug efficacy of many anticancer drugs that target DNA or enzymes in the nucleus, and it is a major obstacle to successful cancer therapy. To address this problem, developing practical drug delivery systems for nuclear delivery is urgently needed. Here we develop a supramolecular hydrogel by conjugating the anticancer agent 10-hydroxycamptothecine (HCPT) and macrocyclic polyamine cyclen to a self-assembling peptide. The cyclen fragment possesses nuclear localization and ATP hydrolysis properties, which can provide a synergistic therapeutic effect for cancer treatment. The HCPT-FFFK-cyclen nanofibers showed improved nuclear accumulation and inhibition capacity in cancer cells including drug-resistant cancer cells in vitro. The nanofibers also exhibited favorable ATP consuming ability in vitro. Moreover, the obtained nanomedicine showed enhanced anticancer efficiency and favorable biocompatibility in vivo when administered to mice via tail vein injection. This constructed self-delivery drug system significantly improved the delivery efficiency of the small molecule agents into the nucleus and showed favorable ATP consuming ability, offering new strategies for developing nanomedicines for cancer combination therapy.

Alveolar echinococcosis is a zoonotic disease caused by the infection of the larval stage Echinococcus multilocularis with worldwide distribution especially in the northwest China. It is important to develop a well-tolerated immunoprophylaxis against E. multilocularis for alveolar echinococcosis control. In this study, a prokaryotic expression system for recombinant immunogen LTB-EMY162 was established, and the immunological features, sensitized lymphocyte, IL-4/IFN-γ secreted, prophylactic effect, and therapeutic effect were also evaluated. Arctic Express (DE3) system, Ni2+-charged and molecular sieve chromatography were used to obtain a high-purity 29 kDa protein. The ELISA and lymphocyte proliferation assay showed that LTB-EMY162 induced high-titer specific IgG against EMY162 and E. multilocularis protoscoleces protein in BALB/c mice and promoted sensitized T lymphocyte cell proliferation, and LTB-EMY162 stimulated Th cell to secrete IL-4 and IFN-γ and induced a Th1/Th2 mixed type immunological response. We also found that LTB-EMY162 significantly inhibited the cysts formation by challenging with 1000 E. multilocularis protoscoleces. The growth of protoscoleces and cysts were also significantly decreased by treating with LTB-EMY162 in 1000 protoscoleces intraperitoneal injection therapeutic mice model. In conclusion, we have constructed a subunit vaccine LTB-EMY162 which has prevention and therapeutic effect against E. multilocularis infection.

采用流变仪研究了固化反应温度、时间以及增韧剂和增稠剂加入量对酚醛树脂流变特性的影响,并测试了玻璃纤维增强酚醛预浸料与Nomex蜂窝芯共固化成型后玻璃纤维/酚醛-Nomex蜂窝夹层结构复合材料的板-芯黏接性能.结果表明:改性后酚醛树脂在高温时的黏度提高较多,流动性得到了有效改善,所得预浸料与Nomex蜂窝芯的界面黏接明显增强,并且当增韧剂和增稠剂的加入量与纯酚醛树脂的质量比分别为5％和3％时,所制备出的夹层板的滚筒剥离强度达到15 N·mm/mm以上,改性后酚醛树脂及其预浸料具有了一定程度的自黏附特性.此外,在共固化工艺中采用合适的升温制度,可以进一步提高玻璃纤维/酚醛-Nomex蜂窝夹层结构复合材料的板-芯黏接强度.

A study was carried out to investigate the effect of pump-assisted separate heat pipe (PASHP) on energy consumption and dehumidifying enhancement in the air conditioning system. In the experiment, four sets of PASHP filled into R134a as the working fluid were constructed. when the number of PASHP employed in the system changes from 0 to 4 sets at the constant inlet air state of 28.5 degrees C and 60% relative humidity, the apparatus dew point falls from 11.7 degrees C to 8.2 degrees C, the supply air temperature rises from 11.7 degrees C to 24.1 degrees C, while dehumidifying capacity of the system has ultimately increased by 29.5%. The index 13 (ratio between the cooling energy saved by PASHP and the total cooling capacity of the air cooling system with PASHP) is 40.4%, and the index 8 (ratio between the cooling energy saved by PASHP and the cooling capacity of the air conditioner's evaporator) is 66.0%. The study indicates that the air conditioning system employed with PASHP can significantly reduce its energy consumption and improve its dehumidifying capacity. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
