    Abstract Objective: To test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of adverse childhood experiences international questionnaire (ACE-IQ) in Chinese parents of preschool children.
    Methods: The parents of preschool children in 6 kindergartens in Tongzhou District of Beijing were selected by stratified random cluster sampling, and the Chinese version of ACE-IQ after translation and adaptation was used for survey online. The collected data were randomly divided into two parts. One part of the data (
    Results: After deleting four items of collective violence, the Chinese version of ACE-IQ with twenty-five items indicated good structural, criterion and content validity. Analysis results showed that the Chinese version of ACE-IQ presented a seven-factor model dimension, namely emotional neglect, physical neglect, family dysfunction, family violence, emotional and physical abuse, sexual abuse and violence outside the home, and the total score of the binary version of ACE-IQ Chinese version was positively correlated with the total score of childhood trauma questionaire-28 item short form (CTQ-SF,
    Conclusion: This study has formed a Chinese version of ACE-IQ with 25 items and 7 dimensions, which has good reliability and validity among the parents of preschool children in China. It can be used as an evaluation instrument for measuring the minimum threshold of the adverse childhood experiences in the parents of preschool children in the cultural background of China.

    Abstract Surface mineralization is an effective method to produce calcium phosphate apatite coating on the surface of bone tissue scaffold which could create an osteophilic environment similar to the natural extracellular matrix for bone cells. In this study, we prepared mineralized poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and PLGA/gelatin electrospun nanofibers via depositing calcium phosphate apatite coating on the surface of these nanofibers to fabricate bone tissue engineering scaffolds by concentrated simulated body fluid method, supersaturated calcification solution method and alternate soaking method. The apatite products were characterized by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-ray diffractometry (XRD) methods. A large amount of calcium phosphate apatite composed of dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD), hydroxyapatite (HA) and octacalcium phosphate (OCP) was deposited on the surface of resulting nanofibers in short times via three mineralizing methods. A larger amount of calcium phosphate was deposited on the surface of PLGA/gelatin nanofibers rather than PLGA nanofibers because gelatin acted as nucleation center for the formation of calcium phosphate. The cell culture experiments revealed that the difference of morphology and components of calcium phosphate apatite did not show much influence on the cell adhesion, proliferation and activity.

    Abstract From November 1988 to March 1989, 20 patients with serious multiple bone metastases were treated by high dose 99mTc-MDP bolus. In the adult, 99mTc-MDP at a dose of 200-300 mCi was injected intravenously and repeated at 24-48 hour intervals as a course. The total dose was 1,200 mCi. Subjective response rate was 100% and pain was relieved within 24 hours of the treatment in 55% of patients. The average and mean remission period was 60 days and 61 days, respectively. At least 50% of the treated patients did not require further analgesic treatment any more. Scintillation count rate ratio of the bone lesion to control was reduced by 32.13% after treatment. Repair of the destroyed bone was shown by X-ray films in some cases. No toxicity to the liver, kidney or marrow was observed.

    Abstract Fifteen patients with breast cancer treated with mitoxantrone preoperatively from December 1986 to June 1983 were evaluated as to treatment validity and histological response. It was shown that the mass in the breast became reduced 7 days after the start of treatment. Intact border and halo were formed around the mass and echo level inside the focus was increased even replacing all hypoecho areas by B-ultrasound. Microscopically, cell karyopyknosis, chromosome breaking plus karyorrhexis, mitochondrial destruction, vacuolization, reactive regeneration of a few capillaries and connective tissues were observed in the resected samples. Preoperative treatment with mitoxantrone helps prevent local recurrence and metastasis after tumor resection.

    Abstract Surface entrapment is a convenient method to immobilize the natural macromolecules on the surface of synthetic polymers. In this study, the gelatin modified and sodium alginate/gelatin modified PLGA nanofibrous membranes were fabricated via surface entrapment and entrapment-graft techniques. The surface morphology of the each single modified PLGA nanofiber was as smooth as that of untreated PLGA nanofibers. The results of water angle contact measurements and tensile tests showed that the surface entrapment cannot only improve the hydrophilicity but also enhance mechanical properties of the modified nanofibrous membranes. In addition, the sodium alginate/gelatin modified electrospun PLGA nanofibrous membrane exhibited higher hydrophilicity and better biocompatibility than the simply gelatin modified PLGA nanofibrous membrane, which suggested the surface entrapment is a facile and efficient approach to surface modification for electrospun nanofibours membranes.

    Abstract Aims/hypothesis: Liver X receptors (LXR) are important transcriptional regulators of lipid and glucose metabolism. Our previous report demonstrated that LXR activation inhibited pancreatic beta cell proliferation through cell cycle arrest. Here we explore the role of LXR activation in beta cell insulin secretion and the underlying mechanism that might be involved.
    Methods: Mouse pancreatic islets or insulin-secreting MIN6 cells were exposed to the LXR agonist, T0901317, and insulin secretion, glucose and fatty acid oxidation, and lipogenic gene expression were assessed. The unsaturated fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid and the dominant negative sterol regulatory element binding protein 1c (SREBP1c) were used to inhibit endogenous SREBP1c and evaluate the involvement of SREBP1c in beta cell dysfunction induced by LXR activation.
    Results: Treatment with the LXR agonist decreased beta cell glucose sensitivity and impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in vivo and in vitro. This was accompanied by derangements of beta cell glucose oxygen consumption, glucose oxidation, ATP production and intracellular voltage-gated calcium channel flux. LXR activation also regulated the expression of lipid metabolism-related genes such as Fas, Acc (also known as Acaca) and Cpt1a, and led to intracellular lipid accumulation. Further studies revealed that inhibition of SREBP1c abolished LXR activation-induced lipid accumulation and improved beta cell glucose metabolism, ATP production and insulin secretion.
    Conclusions/interpretation: Our data reveal that aberrant activation of LXR reproduced the phenomenon of beta cell dysfunction in the development of type 2 diabetes in vitro and in vivo. Upregulation of SREBP1c production and the lipotoxicity mediated by it played a central role in this process.

    Abstract A novel biodegradable polymer elastomer nanocomposite composing of poly(1,8-octanediol-citrate) (POC) polymer matrix and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) additive was successfully fabricated and systematically investigated using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), tensile test, incubation and cytotoxicity tests. It was found that the addition of CNTs in POC elastomer did not result in any noticeable change in its chemical structure and the amorphous state. However, the tensile strength and elongation at break were greatly improved by the addition of CNTs in POC polymer matrix. It revealed that the swelling ratio and percentage of weight loss of POC/CNTs nanocomposite were lower, compared with the pure POC material. Moreover, the adsorption amount of bovine serum albumin (BSA) increased with an increase of the CNTs mass content in POC matrix revealing the enhanced hydrophilicity of POC/CNTs nanocomposites contributed by the carboxyl of the CNTs. Additionally, the cytotoxicity tests with L929 cell line revealed that the experimental POC/CNTs nanocomposites possessed good in vitro biocompatibility.
