ABSTRACT
@#目的：探讨苍术素（ATR）通过调节受体相互作用蛋白激酶（RIPK）1/RIPK3/混合谱系激酶结构域样（MLKL）信号通路对非小细胞肺癌（NSCLC）A549细胞程序性死亡及裸鼠移植瘤生长的影响。方法：使用0~160 μmol/L的ATR处理A549细胞，MTT法检测细胞存活率以确定后续实验给药浓度。使用ATR和/或RIPK1抑制剂Nec-1（necrostatin-1）、caspase抑制剂Z-VAD-FMK处理A549细胞，验证ATR是否诱导A549细胞发生程序性坏死。将A549细胞分为对照组、ATR-L组、ATR-M组、ATR-H组（分别用0、10、20、40 μmol/L ATR处理）、ATR+Nec-1组（40 μmol/L ATR+50 μmol/L Nec-1处理），处理24 h后，采用PI单染及Hoechst33342/PI双染法检测细胞死亡情况、透射电镜观察细胞死亡形态、DCFH-DA荧光探针法检测细胞内ROS水平、JC-1染色法检测线粒体膜电位、WB法检测细胞中RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL信号通路相关蛋白质的表达水平。构建A549细胞裸鼠移植瘤模型，用10 mg/kg ATR（溶于玉米油中）对裸鼠灌胃给药5周，观察ATR对移植瘤生长的影响，WB法检测移植瘤组织中RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL信号通路相关蛋白质的表达水平。结果：10~160 μmol/L的ATR可显著抑制A549细胞增殖，选择10、20、40 μmol/L的ATR进行后续实验。ATR组A549细胞存活率显著低于对照组（P<0.01）和ATR+Nec-1组（P<0.01），而ATR+z-VAD组细胞存活率显著低于z-VAD组（P<0.01），说明ATR可诱导A549细胞发生程序性坏死而非凋亡。与对照组比较，ATR处理组A549细胞发生肿胀，线粒体内脊消失呈空泡化，细胞内容物向外泄漏，细胞核聚集，表现为坏死特征，ATR-L组、ATR-M组、ATR-H组A549细胞死亡率、ROS水平及p-RIPK1、p-RIPK3、p-MLKL表达水平均显著升高，线粒体膜电位显著降低（均P<0.01），且呈药物浓度依赖性；与ATR-H组比较，ATR+Nec-1组细胞死亡率、ROS及p-RIPK1、p-RIPK3、p-MLKL表达水平降低，线粒体膜电位显著升高（均P<0.01）。裸鼠移植瘤实验结果显示，与对照组比较，ATR组裸鼠移植瘤体积、移植瘤质量均降低（P<0.05，或P<0.01），而与瘤组织中p-RIPK1、p-RIPK3、p-MLKL蛋白表达水平均显著升高（均P<0.01）。结论：ATR可能通过激活RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL信号通路诱导A549细胞发生程序性坏死，抑制A549细胞及其裸鼠移植瘤的生长。

@#Objective To optimize the adsorption condition of hepatitis A virus(HAV)antigen by aluminum hydroxide[Al(OH)_3]adjuvant and evaluate the immunogenicity of the adsorbed products. Methods The final molar concentration of buffer(0. 01,0. 02 and 0. 04 mol/L),pH value(5. 5,6. 0,6. 5,7. 0,7. 5 and 8. 0),final molar concentration of sodium chloride(NaCl)(0. 075,0. 13,0. 15,0. 17,0. 45,0. 75 and 1. 0 mol/L),mixing mode(mixing after dilution and mixing directly without dilution)and dropping order[HAV stock solution into Al(OH)_3 solution,and Al(OH)_3 solution into HAV stock solution]were selected for single factor screening. Taking Al(OH)_3 adsorption rate as the evaluation index,the selected factors were optimized by orthogonal test. NIH mice were immunized intraperitoneally with adsorbed products prepared under optimal and suboptimal combination conditions with 0. 5 mL/mouse,10 mice in each group with half male and half female. After 28 d of immunization,the blood samples were collected from eyeball or heart,and the serum was separated. The HAV antibody level was detected by ELISA,and the immunogenicity of adsorbed products was evaluated by the seroconversion rate of mouse serum antibody. Results The results of single factor screening test showed that the final molar concentration of buffer,pH value and final molar concentration of NaCl had significant influence on the adsorption effect(F = 6. 582,14. 007 and 8. 612,respectively,each P < 0. 05),while the mixing mode and dropping order had no effect(t =-0. 696 and 1. 153,respectively,each P > 0. 05). The final molar concentration of buffer was 0. 01 and 0. 02 mol/L,the pH value was 5. 5 ～ 7. 0,and the final molar concentration of NaCl was 0. 13 ～ 0. 17 mol/L. The orthogonal test showed that the order of the influence on adsorption effect was the final molar concentration of buffer > pH value > NaCl final molar concentration. The optimal combination was pH 6. 3 + final molar concentration of buffer 0. 01 mol/L + NaCl molar final concentration 0. 15 mol/L,and the suboptimal combination was pH 5. 8 + final molar concentration of buffer 0. 02 mol/L +NaCl final molar concentration 0. 17 mol/L. The seroconversion rate of serum antibody in mice immunized with the adsorbed products prepared by the optimal and suboptimal combination was both 100%. Conclusion The adsorbed products prepared under the optimized conditions have good immunogenicity,which lays a foundation of the research of inactivated hepatitis A vaccine
ABSTRACT
Background & objectives: Universal salt iodization (USI) was implemented in all counties of China in 1995. This study was undertaken to assess the status of iodine deficiency disorders control and prevention after 10 years of implementation of USI in a severe iodine deficiency region in China. Methods: Thirty primary school were selected in Gansu province utilizing cluster sampling methodology for the years 1995 and 2005. In each selected school, 40 children aged 8-10 yr were randomly selected for thyroid and IQ examination, and urinary samples were collected from 12. On the spot casual urine samples and salt samples were collected from a subset of children included in the study. In 2005, casual urine samples were also collected from 50 pregnant and lactating women in each cluster. Effect of health education was studied by a combination method of giving questionnaires to and observing students and families. Results: The total goiter rates (TGR) were found to be 13.5 and 38.7 per cent in 2005 and 1995 respectively. The medians urinary iodine excretion levels of children were 191.8 and 119.9 μg/l in 2005 and 1995. The median urinary iodine excretion level of women was 161.9 μg/l. The mean intelligence quotient (IQ) was 96.9 in 2005 significantly more than that in 1997 (P<0.05). The health education pass rate of children and women were 21.1 and 51.1 per cent respectively. Interpretation & conclusion: After ten years of universal salt iodization (USI), iodine nutrition of people improved and the current iodine nutrition status of population was adequate. Decrease in TGR and increase in IQ showed that IDD control and prevention had made great progress through ten years USI, salt iodization played the key role in IDD control and prevention for sustained elimination of IDD, the programme of USI and other measures like health education should be persisted and enforced.
