文摘Tian and Meng in [Y. Tian and J. Meng, λc -Optimally half vertex transitive graphs with regularity k, Information Processing Letters 109 (2009) 683 - 686] shown that a connected half vertex transitive graph with regularity k and girth g(G) ≥ 6 is cyclically optimal. In this paper, we show that a connected half vertex transitive graph G is super cyclically edge-connected if minimum degree δ(G) ≥ 6 and girth g(G) ≥ 6.

文摘The combination of nucleic acid and small-molecule drugs in tumor treatment holds significant promise;however,the precise delivery and controlled release of drugs within the cytoplasm encounter substantial obstacles,impeding the advancement of formulations.To surmount the challenges associated with precise drug delivery and controlled release,we have developed a multi-level p H-responsive co-loaded drug lipid nanoplatform.This platform first employs cyclic cell-penetrating peptides to exert a multi-level pH response,thereby enhancing the uptake efficiency of tumor cells and endow the nanosystem with effective endosomal/lysosomal escape.Subsequently,small interferring RNA(siRNA)complexes are formed by compacting siRNA with stearic acid octahistidine,which is capable of responding to the lysosome-tocytoplasm pH gradient and facilitate siRNA release.The siRNA complexes and docetaxel are simultaneously encapsulated into liposomes,thereby creating a lipid nanoplatform capable of co-delivering nucleic acid and small-molecule drugs.The efficacy of this platform has been validated through both in vitro and in vivo experiments,affirming its significant potential for practical applications in the co-delivery of nucleic acids and small-molecule drugs.
