Cell microarray chip system for accurate, rapid diagnosis and target treatment of breast cancer cells SK-BR-3

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world,survival rates of breast cancer are rising as screening and treatment improve.Many new technologies applied in the biomedical domain have been born for rapid diagnosis and treatment.In this work,visualization cell microarray chip with threedimensional(3 D)embedded cell scaffold for cell diagnosis and treatment was designed.DNA segment,targeting on breast cancer cells SK-BR-3,were modified with camptothecin and used as model drug.Cell microarray chip system successfully control the diffusion of small molecules and locally introduced the compounds into cells.3 D embedded cell scaffold in the cell array chip afforded an environment with continuous medium supplementary and help controlling the diffusion of small molecules drugs.By cell microarray chip system,SK-BR-3 was targeted screening and killing in one step.Cell microarray chip system can achieve accurate,rapid diagnosis and target treatment of breast cancer cells SK-BR-3 and have a potential to develop to be an effective and accurate drug screen method for evaluating the drug effect of the booming chemicals.

In situ wound sprayable double-network hydrogel: Preparation and characterization

In clinical settings the wound-dressing was required easy to use and can match the wound area immediately, at the same time they need to have the properties of hemostats, anti-inflammation and promoting wound healing. To get an ideal wound dressing, we developed a type of gel-like wound adhesive patch from spraying double-network hydrogel, which own the properties of self-antibacterial and can promote wound healing. By spraying, the gel-like wound adhesive patch can match the wound area immediately and form a gel-film in 10 s. Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose as p H sensitive materials accelerated the speed to form the gel-film and enhanced ductility of the wound adhesive patch. In vitro experiments show that, this gel-like wound adhesive patch can promote cell proliferation and reduce cell apoptosis.In vivo studies show that, compared with commercialized wound dressings in clinic using, the spraying gel-like wound adhesive patch from our work has a better effect on wound healing. In conclusion, the spraying gel-like wound patch in our work is easy to use and can form a gel-film match on wound area in a short time, also it has the properties of hemostats, anti-inflammation and promoting wound healing.Its feasibility for mass production shows a good potential for commercial use.

High thermal conductivity of graphene and structure defects:Prospects for thermal applications in graphene sheets

The utilization of thermal energy from different sources is an important development direction for conserving energy.With the development of technology,refined and rapid utilization of thermal energy is required.Traditional thermal conductive materials cannot meet the growing needs of human beings.Therefore,people pay attention to two-dimensional graphene film materials for their thermal conductivity.This review collects current modeling group of thermal transport on graphene,including non-equilibrium Green function(NEGF)theory,molecular dynamics(MD)simulations modeling and Boltzmann transport equation method.These models can well explain several phenomena of phonon transport in graphene.Furthe r,structural de fects were discussed and expounded the effect for graphene thermal conductivity,including doping,grain bounda ry and defects.Deeply understanding of defects on graphene,we can better grasp the thermal conductivity of graphene from the microscopic point of view.

Post-self-repair process of neuron cells under the influence of neutral and cationic nanoparticles

The prevalence of functionalized nanoparticles in biological and clinical fields attracts intensive toxicology investigations.Minimizing the nanoparticles’ biohazard remains a challenge due to the insufficient understanding on the nanoparticle-induced cell death mechanism.In the presented study,we observed the lysosome and genome injuries and so caused cell cycle changes and regulations of retinal ganglion neuron cell 5(RGC-5) induced by aminated and alkylated nanoparticles.Alkylated nanoparticles induced malignant lysosome and genome damages followed by severe post-self-repair responses.RGC-5 treated with alkylated nanoparticles presented dramatic S phase prolongation resulted from cyclin E accumulation mediated by Fbw7 downregulation,which assisted DNA replication after failed self-repair of the malignantly damaged DNA caused by alkylated nanoparticles.Differently,aminated nanoparticles in RGC-5 induced moderate lysosome and genome injuries and these damages could be repaired in the p21-involved pathway,so that cells did not induce apparent cyclin E accumulation nor Fbw7 downregulation as post-self-repair response.These results helped us to understand the toxicity of analogous nanoparticles on retinal ganglions such as glaucoma treatment.This work provides new insights into nanoparticle functionalization and toxicity in relation to the research on the toxicology and pathology of nerve cells.
