Objective:To calculate the single-event dose-averaged specific energy of particles delivered in spherical domains based on the track structure model and using triple integration, and to investigate the influence of the domain shape on the key model parameters of microdosimetric kinetic model (MKM) and its corresponding physical significance.Methods:The domains are assumed to be cylinders and spheres, respectively. With α 0, domain radius, rd, and nucleus radius, Rn, as undetermined coefficients, the nuclear charge numbers, kinetic energies and their corresponding LETs of three kinds of charged particles ( 3He, 12C, 20Ne) as independent variables, D10 as dependent variable, the mean value of squared residuals, J2, between the D10 calculated values and D10 experimental values as the optimization objective, the final fitting values of the above undetermined coefficients of human salivary gland (HSG) cells and Chinese hamster lung (V79) cells obtained after iteration by the robust least square method are the optimal model parameter values of MKM. Results:For HSG cells, cylindrical domain: α 0=0.073/Gy, rd=0.29 μm, Rn=4.1 μm, J2=0.039 7 Gy 2; spherical domain: α 0=0.023/Gy, rd=0.29 μm, Rn=4.4 μm, J2=0.039 3 Gy 2; For V79 cells, cylindrical domain: α 0=0.114/Gy, rd=0.25 μm, Rn=3.8 μm, J2=0.097 4 Gy 2; spherical domain: α 0=0.095/Gy, rd=0.26 μm, Rn=4.1 μm, J2=0.096 9 Gy 2. Conclusions:For the same type of cells, cylindrical and spherical domains were selected respectively, and there are significant differences in MKM parameters obtained by fitting. The fitting values of the domain radius, rd of the two shapes of domains show no significant difference, while the fitting values of α0 of spherical domains are smaller than those of cylindrical domains, the fitting values of nucleus radius, Rn, of spherical domain are larger than those of cylindrical domains, closer to the nucleus radius observed by fluorescence microscopy. In the low LET (<20 keV/μm) region, D10 calculated according to the parameters of the two different shapes of domains are different, so the selection of the domain shape will cause differences in the relative biological effectiveness(RBE) calculation of proton in the region near Bragg peak.

Blaps rynchopetera affects proliferation, migration, and invasion of non-small cell lung cancer: a study based on network pharmacology and in vivo and in vitro experiments / 中国中药杂志

Network pharmacology, molecular docking, and in vivo and in vitro experiments were employed to study the molecular mechanism of Blaps rynchopetera Fairmaire in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). The components of B. rynchopetera were collected by literature review, and the active components were screened out through the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform(TCMSP). PharmMapper was used to obtain the targets of the active components. The targets of NSCLC were obtained from DrugBank, GeneCards, OMIM, TTD, and PharmGKB. The Venn diagram was drawn to identify the common targets shared by the active components of B. rynchopetera and NSCLC. The "drug component-target" network and protein-protein interaction(PPI) network were constructed by Cytoscape, and the key targets were screened by Centiscape. Gene Ontology(GO) annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) enrichment of the above key targets were performed by DAVID. AutoDock and PyMOL were used for the molecular docking between the key targets and corresponding active components. A total of 31 active components, 72 potential targets, and 11 key targets of B. rynchopetera against NSCLC were obtained. The active components of B. rynchopetera had good binding activity with key targets. Further, the serum containing B. rynchopetera was prepared and used to culture human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells. The CCK-8 assay was employed to determine the inhibition rates on the growth of A549 cells in blank control group and those exposed to different concentrations of B. rynchopetera-containing serum, cisplatin, and drug combination(B. rynchopetera-containing serum+cisplatin) for different time periods. The cell migration and invasion of A549 cells were detected by cell scratch assay and Transwell assay, respectively. Western blot was employed to determine the expression levels of B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X(Bax), caspase-3, cell division cycle 42(CDC42), proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase SRC, and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) in A549 cells. C57BL/6 mice were inoculated with Lewis cells and randomly assigned into a model control group, a B. rynchopetera group, a cisplatin group, and a drug combination(B. rynchopetera+cisplatin) group, with 12 mice per group. The body weight and the long diameter(a) and short diameter(b) of the tumor were monitored every other day during treatment, and the tumor volume(mm~3) was calculated as 0.52ab~2. After 14 days of continuous medication, the mice were sacrificed for the collection of tumor, spleen, and thymus, and the tumor inhibition rate and immune organ indexes were calculated. The tissue morphology of tumors was observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining, and the positive expression of Bax, Bcl-2, caspase-3, CDC42, SRC, and VEGF in the tumor tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry. The results indicated that B. rynchopetera and the drug combination regulated the expression levels of Bax, Bcl-2, caspase-3, CDC42, SRC, and VEGF to inhibit the proliferation, migration, and invasion of A549 cells and Lewis cells, thus playing a role in the treatment of NSCLC via multiple ways.

Analysis of spontaneous nystagmus and the frequency characteristics of affected semicircular canals in patients with vestibular neuritis / 中华内科杂志

Objective: To investigate the spontaneous nystagmus (SN) and the frequency characteristics of affected semicircular canals in patients with vestibular neuritis (VN). Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. A total of 61 patients with VN admitted to the Department of Neurology of Shanxi Bethune Hospital from June 2020 to October 2021, 39 were male and 22 were female, with a mean age of (46±13) years old and male to female ratio of 1.77∶1. According to SN characteristics, 61 patients were divided into non-nystagmus group(nSN), horizontal nystagmus group(hSN) and horizontal-torsional nystagmus group (htSN). Clinical data were collected, and SN, unilateral weakness (UW), directional preponderance (DP), and video head impulse test (vHIT) gain were used as observation indicators. Statistical analysis by SPSS23.0 software. Normal distributed quantitative data (age, semicircular canal gain, SN intensity) were expressed by x¯±s, non-normal distributed quantitative data (disease course, UW, DP) were expressed by M(Q1,Q3), qualitative data were expressed by rate and composition ratio, difference analysis by one-way ANOVA, rank sum test, Chi-square test or Fisher's exact probability method, considered by P value<0.05. Results: (1)The disease course of nSN, hSN and htSN was 7.0 (4.0, 12.5), 6.0 (3.5, 11.5), and 3.0 (2.0, 6.5) days respectively, and there were statistical differences (χ2=7.31,P=0.026).(2)The horizontal nystagmus intensity of htSN was (16.8±8.6)°/s, which was significantly higher than that of (9.8±4.7)°/s in hSN (t=3.71, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in the positive rate of UW between the three groups (P=0.690), and there was a significant difference in the positive rate of DP in the three groups (χ2=12.23, P=0.002). The horizontal nystagmor intensity in the htSN was positively correlated with the vertical nystagmus intensity (r=0.59, P=0.001).(3)The gain of the affected horizontal canal of the three groups was statistically different (F=8.28, P=0.001), and the gain of the horizontal canal of hSN and htSN was significantly lower than that of nSN (t=2.74, P=0.008; t=4.05, P<0.001); The gain of the affected anterior canal in the three groups was statistically different (F=5.32, P=0.008). The gain of the anterior canal in both nSN and hSN was significantly higher than that in htSN (t=3.09, P=0.003; t=2.15, P=0.036). The horizontal canal gain of htSN is positively correlated with the anterior canal gain (r=0.74, P<0.001).(4)The affected semicircular canals in the two groups with no-vertical-component nystagmus (nSN and hSN) and the htSN were counted. The composition ratio of the affected semicircular canals in the two groups was different (χ2=8.34, P=0.015). Conclusion: The occurrence of SN in patients with VN is related to many factors, such as the disease course, low and high frequencies, and the severity of the condition in the affected semicircular canal.

Blaps rynchopetera combined with cyclophosphamide affects proliferation and apoptosis of lung cancer cells via Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway / 中国中药杂志

This study aims to investigate the effects of Blaps rynchopetera Fairmaire and/or cyclophosphamide on the proliferation and apoptosis of lung cancer cells and decipher the underlying mechanism. B. rynchopetera and cyclophosphamide-containing serum and blank serum were prepared from SD rats. Cell counting kit-8(CCK-8) assay was employed to examine the proliferation of lung cancer cell lines A549 and Lewis treated with corresponding agents. The Jin's formula method was used to evaluate the combined effect of the two drugs. According to the evaluation results, appropriate drug concentrations and lung cancer cell line were selected for subsequent experiments, which included control, B. rynchopetera, cyclophosphamide, B. rynchopetera + cyclophosphamide, and B. rynchopetera + Wnt/β-catenin pathway agonist lithium chloride(LiCl) groups. Immunocytochemistry was employed to measure the expression of proliferation-related proteins in Lewis cells after drug interventions. Flow cytometry was employed to determine the cell cycle and apoptosis. The expression levels of proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA), cyclinD1, B-cell lymphoma 2(Bcl-2), Bcl-2-assiocated X protein(Bax), Wnt1, and β-catenin were determined by Western blot. The results showed that B. rynchopetera and/or cyclophosphamide significantly inhibited the proliferation of A549 and Lewis cells. Compared with B. rynchopetera alone, the combination increased the inhibition rate on cell proliferation. The combination of B. rynchopetera and cyclophosphamide demonstrated a synergistic effect according to Jin's formula-based evaluation. Compared with the control group, the B. rynchopetera, cyclophosphamide, and B. rynchopetera + cyclophosphamide groups showed increased proportion of Lewis cells in G_0/G_1 phase, increased apoptosis rate, up-regulated expression of Bax, and down-regulated expression of PCNA, cyclinD1, Bcl-2, Wnt1, and β-catenin. Compared with the cyclophosphamide group, the combination group showed increased proportion of cells in G_0/G_1 phase, increased apoptosis rate, up-regulated expression of Bax, and down-regulated expression of PCNA, cyclinD1, Bcl-2, Wnt1, and β-catenin. Compared with the B. rynchopetera group, the B. rynchopetera + LiCl group had deceased proportion of cells in G_0/G_1 phase, decreased apoptosis rate, down-regulated expression of Bax, and up-regulated expression of PCNA, cyclinD1, Bcl-2, Wnt1, and β-catenin. The results indicated that B. rynchopetera could inhibit the proliferation, arrest the cell cycle, and induce the apoptosis of lung cancer cells by inhibiting the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Moreover, B. rynchopetera had a synergistic effect with cyclophosphamide.

Verification of the range calculation accuracy of a commercial proton treatment planning system / 中华放射肿瘤学杂志

Objective:In Shanghai Advanced Proton Therapy Facility (SAPT) of Ruijin Hospital Proton Therapy Center, the calculation accuracy of the commercial proton treatment planning system RayStation (V10), especially the accuracy of the proton range calculation, was measured and verified, aiming to provide reference for the clinical application of the treatment planning system.Methods:A head phantom was used to verify the calculation accuracy of RayStation. The phantom CT was imported into treatment planning system (TPS). The phantom was followed closely by a water tank with a one-liter cubic target. A single field verification plan with the prescribed dose of 200 cGy (relative biological effectiveness) was designed and implemented. Then, the measured distribution results were compared with the calculation results.Results:When the verification plan of the phantom was designed with the default settings of RayStation, the measured longitudinal dose distribution was approximately 4 mm deeper than that of TPS, indicating that RayStation overestimated the water equivalent thickness (WET) of the tissue substitute materials in the phantom. To study the range error, the actual beam was used to measure the WET of the soft tissue substitute material. The default setting of RayStation was fine-tuned according to the measured results. It was found that the error between the measured SOBP and TPS calculations was reduced to only 2 mm.Conclusions:Using the default setting of RayStation to calculate the stopping power of the phantom may cause a large range error. A method that combines tissue segmentation with the measured WET of the tissue substitute material is proposed to improve the range calculation accuracy of the TPS. The results show that the proposed method can improve the dose and range accuracy of the commercial TPS including RayStation for tissue substitute materials.

Nerve growth factor interferes with proliferation and alpha-actin expression of skeletal muscle satellite cells in rats / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND: Clinical studies have confirmed that the injection of nerve growth factor into the nerve damage site can improve the motor function of skeletal muscle. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of nerve growth factor on the proliferation of primary skeletal muscle satellite cells in rats. METHODS: The original generation of rat skeletal muscle satellite cells were cultivated by the tissue block method, and the third generation of skeletal muscle satellite cells were divided into three groups. The control group was added with culture medium; the low concentration group and the high concentration group were added with culture medium containing 10, 20 U/mL nerve growth factors, respectively. At 2, 4 and 6 days after culture, the cell morphology was observed by inverted phase contrast microscope and hematoxylin-eosin staining, and the expression of α-actin was observed by immunohistochemistry. At 1, 2, 3, and 4 days after culture, CCK-8 assay was used to detect the cell proliferation activity. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Inverted phase contrast microscope displayed that with the increase of culture time, the number of skeletal muscle satellite cells in each group increased gradually, and the cell morphology gradually changed from round to fusiform, spindle or polygonal, and gradually fused and arranged along the same direction, and the number of cells in high concentration group was more than that in low concentration group and control group (P 0.05). (4) The CCK-8 assay results showed that cell viability of low and high concentration groups was higher than that of control group (P=0.000). (5) Above results confirm that high and low concentrations of nerve growth factors could promote the proliferation of skeletal muscle satellite cells, but had no effect on the expression of α-actin in skeletal muscle satellite cells.

Design and expression of FGF23 inhibitor in Pichia pastoris / 药学学报

Hypophosphatemia is a common metabolism disease in humans. Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) inhibits phosphate reabsorption by targeting on the renal tubules. FGF23C-tail contains 73 amino acids from C-terminus of FGF23, serves as an inhibitor of FGF23, and can increase phosphate reabsorption. Therefore, FGF23C-tail is an important drug for hypophosphatemia. In this paper, we constructed a fusion protein of FGF23C-tail with HSA, and investigated the expression of the fusion protein in the Pichia pastoris system. The recombinant gene was constructed by fusion PCR. A high-yield strain was selected by G418 resistance and fermentation yield, and the expression yield was 43.7 mg·L-1 in flask. In 5 L fermenters, the highest expression yield could reach 265.6 mg·L-1. FGF23C-tail-HSA could be used as an inhibitor for FGF23, and could significantly increase blood phosphorus levels in rats. The procedures for care and use of animals were approved by the Ethics Committee of YiChun University. This paper provided a basis research for further studying physiological activity of FGF23C-tail-HSA.

The percentages of CD3(+) lymphocyte in peripheral blood, spleen and lymph node were not statistically significantly different between these 2 types of mice 〔PB: 17.3±7.9% vs 17.0±4.6% (P>0.05, n=3); SP: 33.0±6.0% vs 27.4±1.8% (P>0.05, n=3); LN: 42.3±10.7% vs 51.2±2.7% (P>0.05, n=3)〕.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>S1PR5 defect can significantly influence the NK cell distribution.</p>
