ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To study the expressions of the members of HSP110 family in the testis and epididymis of mice at different stages of development and whether they are regulated by hormones.@*METHODS@#The testicular and epididymis tissues of mice at different ages (14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 70, and 90 days after birth, 3 mice at each age) were collected for RT-PCR detection of the expression levels of HSP110 family members. Forty-eight mice were randomized into 3 groups for sham operation, castration, or castration with testosterone injections every other day (starting at 7 days after castration), and at 1, 3, 5, and 7 days after first testosterone injection, the expressions of HSP110 family in the epididymis were detected using RT-PCR.@*RESULTS@#The mRNA expression levels of HSP110 family members underwent obvious variations with the development of the mice: , and expressions in the testicles of the mice first increased and then decreased, and gradually became stable; they also exhibited similar temporal patterns of changes in the epididymis. In the castrated mice, the mRNA expressions of and in the epididymis decreased significantly with the reduction of serum hormone levels ( < 0.05), and became normal after the supplementation of exogenous hormone.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The expression levels of HSP110 family are affected by developmental regulation, and the expressions of and are under the regulation by hormones.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of hyperthermia on the expression of PANDAR, LncRNA-p21 and ST8SIA genes in the human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells. METHODS: A549 cells were randomly divided into 4 groups. The A549 cells in control group were cultured at 37 ℃; the cells at experimental groups were cultured at 40, 42 or 44 ℃ respectively. The cells in these 4 groups were incubated for 1 hour, and the levels of PANDAR, LncRNA-p21 and ST8SIA genes were analyzed by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: In cells cultured at 40, 42 or 44 ℃ experimental groups, the relative expression of PANDAR gene was lower than that of control group(P<0.05). In cells cultured at 44 ℃ experimental group, the relative expression of PANDAR gene was lower than that of the 40 and 42 ℃ experimental groups(P<0.05). There was no significant change in the relative expression of LncRNA-p21 and ST8SIA genes among the four groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Hyperthermia decrease the expression of PANDAR gene in A549 cells.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the exposure status of hand-transmitted vibration(HTV)in golf ball head grinding workers.METHODS: The golf ball head grinding positions in a sports equipment factory were selected as the research subjects by the judgement sampling method.The HTV exposure level of the workers in 66 grinding positions was measured,the key control points for HTV hazards were identified,and the damage of HTV was classified.RESULTS: The median(M)of 4 hours energy equivalent frequency-weighted acceleration to vibration[a_(hw(4))]of grinding positions in this sports equipment factory was 4.21 m/s~2,and the a_(hw(4)) over standard rate was 50.0%(33/66).The a_(hw(4)) of rough grinding positions was higher than that of fine grinding positions(M:5.50 v.s 3.94 m/s~2,P<0.05).In both rough grinding positions and fine grinding positions,the a_(hw(4)) of different ball head grinding types from high to low were hollow titanium alloy ball heads, hollow stainless steel ball heads,and solid stainless steel ball heads(rough grinding positions M:7.41 vs4.43 vs 3.11 m/s~2,P<0.01; fine grinding p ositions M:5.24 vs 4.21 vs 2.93 m/s~2,P<0.01).For the hollow titanium alloy ball head grinding positions,the a_(hw(4)) of rough grinding was higher than that of fine grinding(M:7.47 vs 5.24 m/s~2,P<0.01).Rough grinding positions,especially hollow stainless steel ball heads and hollow titanium alloy ball head grinding positions were key control points for HTV hazards.In the 66 grinding positions,the HTV hazards were classified as grade 0,Ⅰ,Ⅱ,and Ⅲ in the grinding positions accounted for 3.0%,47.0%,40.9%,and 9.1%,respectively,and those with grade Ⅱ and above were 50.0%(33/66). CONCLUSION: The exposure level of HTV in golf ball head grinding workers is high,with a trend of exceeding the standard.The golf ball head grinding workers have a high occupational health risk.

ABSTRACT
This study aims to investigate the change of plasma concentration of digoxin (DIG) in rats with ovariectomy. Twelve female SD rats were randomly assigned into ovariectomized group and sham group (n = 6). All rats plasma was collected after a single dose of 2 mg x kg(-1) DIG administrated orally, serum DIG concentration was determined by LC-MS/MS. The level of P-gp in the intestinal was analyzed by Western blotting. Pharmacokinetic calculations were performed on each individual using DAS 2.0 practical pharmacokinetic software. Compared with the sham group, C(max) of ovariectomized group decreased significantly (P < 0.01). There was no significant difference of AUC(0-t), and the level of P-gp was elevated in ovariectomized group. It was found that C(max) of DIG was significantly reduced after ovariectomy, and the change was associated with the decreased level of estrogen, which contributes to the increased level of P-gp.
ABSTRACT
The study aims to establish a method for simultaneous determination of repaglinide and pravastatin sodium in rat plasma by LC-MS/MS and to study its pharmacokinetic interactions. Eighteen male SD rats were divided into repaglinide group, pravastatin sodium group and co-administration group. Blood samples were collected at different times after oral administration. Repaglinide and pravastatin sodium in rat plasma were separated by Agilent HC-C18 with the mobile phase consisting of methanol-0.1% formic acid (80 : 20). Detection and quantification were performed by using ESI-MS. The detector was operated in selected Reaction-monitoring mode at m/z 453.3-->230.1 for repaglinide, m/z 447.2-->327.4 for pravastatin sodium and m/z 285.1-->192.9 for diazepam as the internal standard. The calibration curve obtained was linear (R2>0.99) over the concentration range of 9.77-10,000 ng.mL-1 for repaglinide and 4.88-625 ng.mL-1 for pravastatin sodium. Compared with the single administration group, Cmax and AUC0-6h of repaglinide increased significantly (P<0.05) and tmax of pravastatin sodium prolonged (P<0.05) in co-administration group. The method is found to be simple, sensitive and accurate for determining the concentration of repaglinide and pravastatin sodium in rat plasma. There exists pharmacokinetic interactions in the co-administration of repaglinide and pravastatin sodium.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the maternal toxicity and offspring's neurobehavioral effects in Wistar rats induced by exposure to methylmercury during pregnancy. Methods Methylmercury were continuously orally perfued with different doses of 0.00, 0.01, 0.05 and 2.00 mg/(kg?d) to 52 pregnant Wistar rats during the 6th～9th day after conception. The toxicity to maternal rats was observed and general teratology test were carried out. The parameters of physical and neurobehavioral develpment at early stage of 205 offspring were measured and the operant behavior test of 32 offspring was carried out at the age of 10 weeks. The brain's morphology and the levels of monamine neurotransmitter were tested in 24 maternal rats after 5 weeks of the delivery and 24 offspring in 10 weeks old. Double blind randomized design was used in whole experiment. Results No maternal toxicity and offspring teratogenicity were observed. The increase of body weight and tail development of embryos in 3 exposure groups were slower than those of control group (P
