Article Abstract
Bcl-2 gene is an important target to treat lung cancer. The small interference RNA (siRNA) of Bcl-2 gene (siBcl-2) can specifically silence Bcl-2 gene. However, naked siBcl-2 is difficult to accumulate in the tumor tissue to exert its activity. In this paper, a calcium phosphate lipid hybrid nanoparticle that possessed charge reversible property was prepared to enhance the activity of siBcl-2 in vivo. The average diameter and zeta potential of siBcl-2 loaded calcium phosphate lipid hybrid nanoparticles (LNPS@siBcl-2) were 80 nm and -13 mV at pH7.4 whereas the diameter and zeta potential changed to 1506 nm and +9 mV at pH5.0. LNPS@siBcl-2 could efficiently deliver siBcl-2 to the cytoplasm and significantly decreased the expression of Bcl-2 in A549 cells. Moreover, the in vivo experimental results showed that most of the Cy5-siBcl-2 accumulated in tumor tissue after LNPS@Cy5-siBcl-2 was administered to tumor-bearing mice by tail vein injection. Meanwhile, the expression of Bcl-2 was decreased but the expression of the BAX and Caspase-3 was increased in tumor tissue. LNPS@siBcl-2 significantly inhibited the growth of tumor in tumor-bearing mice without any obvious systemic toxicity. Thus, the charge reversible calcium phosphate lipid hybrid nanoparticle was an excellent siBcl-2 delivery carrier to improve the activity of siBcl-2 in vivo. LNPS@siBcl-2 has potential in the treatment of lung cancer.

Teeth undergo continuous demineralization and remineralization influenced by dietary acid and saliva. Excessive dietary acid attack disrupts this balance, exposing dentin tubules and causing dental hypersensitivity (DH). Due to low acid resistance, traditional anti-DH regents such as calcium phosphate minerals fail in long-term occlusion of dentin tubules, resulting in recurrent attacks of DH.

Melanoma, a malignant skin tumor, presents significant treatment challenges, particularly in unresectable and metastatic cases. While immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting PD-1/PD-L1 have brought new hope, their efficacy is limited by low response rates and significant immune-mediated adverse events (irAEs). Through multi-omics data analysis, it is discovered that the spatial co-localization of CD73 and PD-L1 in melanoma correlates with improved progression-free survival (PFS), suggesting a synergistic potential of their inhibitors.

Statement Of The Problem: Dentin bonding with etch-and-rinse adhesives involves demineralizing the 5-8µm of the surface dentin to create micro space for resin infiltration. The presence of continuous fluid movement in dentin tubules and positive pulpal pressure prevents complete water replacement by resin monomers. This results in areas of demineralized dentin, which contain collagen fibers without resin infiltration.

In the clinic, Lipiodol chemotherapeutic emulsions remain a main choice for patients diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) via the mini-invasive transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) therapy. However, the poor stability of conventional Lipiodol chemotherapeutic emulsions would result in the fast drug diffusion and incomplete embolization, inducing systemic toxicity and impairing the efficacy of TACE therapy. Therefore, it is of great importance to construct alternative formulations based on commercial Lipiodol to achieve the improved efficacy and safety of HCC treatment.
