ABSTRACT

Objective The purpose of this study is to grasp the current situation of radiation protection in some non-medical institutions in Hangzhou, and to provide basis and reference for the relevant authorities departments to make the radioactive hazard factors monitoring plan for non-medical institutions. Methods The configuration of the personnel protective equipment and radiation level of radiation sources and radiation devices in 5 non-medical monitoring institutions in Hangzhou were investigated and analyzed by means of questionnaire survey and on-site detection. Results The radiation workers of 5 monitoring institutions have carried out personal dose monitoring, and their annual individual dose equivalent meets the requirements of relevant national standards. The ambient dose equivalent rates around the radiation source and radiation device room are lower than the minimum detection limit of the instrument. When the source is stored, the maximum ambient dose equivalent rates at 5 cm and 100 cm away from the external surface of the source container were 22.2 μSv/h and 2.0 μSv/h, respectively. When the source is in use, the maximum ambient dose equivalent rates at 5 cm and 100 cm away from the external surface of the source container were 44.3 μSv/h and 5.0 μSv/h, respectively. Conclusion Under normal operation, the radiation dose level of some non-medical monitoring institutions in Hangzhou is at a low level, while the ambient dose equivalent rates around the external surface of the source container is at a high level. Therefore, non-medical institutions should improve their awareness of radiation protection and strengthen radiation management.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND@#Both aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) rs671 polymorphism and lifestyle behaviors are involved in coronary artery disease (CAD), while the interaction between them is currently unknown.@*METHODS@#A nested case-control study was conducted in 161 patients with CAD and 495 controls in dyslipidemia population in Yinzhou District, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, China, in August 2013. Anthropometric data and blood samples were collected, demographic characteristics and lifestyle behaviors information were obtained by a face-to-face interview, dietary intake was assessed by a food frequency questionnaire, and genomic DNA was genotyped.@*RESULTS@#Carriers with increasing number of A alleles had an elevated CAD risk compared with G allele carriers (adjusted OR = 1.483, 95% CI = 1.114-1.974). Carriers of rs671 A/G and A/A genotypes had a higher CAD risk than carriers of G/G genotype (adjusted OR = 1.492, 95% CI = 1.036-2.148). Similarly, individuals with rs671 A/A genotype had a higher CAD risk than individuals with A/G and G/G genotypes (adjusted OR = 2.161, 95% CI = 1.139-4.101). We found a borderline additive interaction between regular fried food intake and A/A and A/G genotypes, and a significantly additive interaction between sedentary/light physical activity and A/A and A/G genotypes.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Individuals with A/A or A/G genotypes of rs671 have a higher CAD risk, if they lack physical activity and take fried food regularly, than individuals with G/G genotypes. These findings can help to provide a guide to targeted heart health management.

ABSTRACT

Aim To investigate the role of miR-125 b and its DNA methylation in homocysteine ( Hcy )-in-duced vascular smooth muscle cells( VSMCs) prolifera-tion. Methods VSMCs were stimulated with 0,50, 100, 200, 500 μmol · L-1 Hcy respectively. Then qRT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA levels of miR-125b,and nested-touchdown methylation-specific PCR ( ntMS-PCR) was used to detect the methylation levels of miR-125b. VSMCs were transfected with miR-125b precursor or the inhibitor of miR-125b ,then 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2-5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide ( MTT ) assay was used to reflect the proliferation of VSMCs. The distribution of CpG islands of miR-125b promoter region was analyzed by bioinformatics meth-ods. VSMCs were stimulated with 100 μmol·L-1 Hcy and transfected with or without DNA methylation inhib-itors 5-nitrogen impurity cytidine ( AZC) , then the ex-pression of miR-125b was detected by qRT-PCR. Re-sults The mRNA levels of miR-125 b were decreased in 100,200,500 μmol·L-1 Hcy group compared with 0 μmol·L-1 Hcy group. The precursor of miR-125b could inhibit the proliferation activity and the inhibitor of miR-125 b could increase the proliferation activity of VSMCs cells. Bioinformatics analysis indicated that MiR-125 b promoter region had a CpG island whose length was 792 bp ( 1881-2672 ) . The miR-125 b pro-moter region methylation levels increased after Hcy in-tervention ( P <0. 01 ) . The expression level of miR-125 b increased after AZC intervention ( P <0. 05 ) . Conclusions ① Hcy promotes vascular smooth mus-cle cell proliferation maybe by down-regulating the ex-pression of miR-125b. ② Hcy down-regulates the ex-pression of miR-125 maybe by up-regulating the methy-lation levels of miR-125b promoter region.

ABSTRACT

Aim To explore the role of ERO1 αand its DNA methylation in homocysteine (Hcy)-induced in-hibition of hepatocytes proliferation.Methods The hepatocytes stimulated with 0 μmol·L -1 Hcy were set as the normal group (NC group)and the hepatocytes stimulated with 1 00 μmol·L -1 Hcy as the experimen-tal group (Hcy group).Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT)reduction assay was used to reflect the prolifer-ation of the hepatocytes;qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein levels of ERO1 α;the expression of green fluorescence protein was observed in hepatocytes after the recombinant plas-mid of ERO1 α was constructed,which was used to confirm if the recombinant plasmid into hepatocytes was successful,then the mRNA and protein levels of ERO1 αwere assayed and the proliferation of the hepa-tocytes was also detected;ntMSP was used to detect the change of ERO1 αDNA methylation.Results The mRNA and protein levels of ERO1 αwere decreased in Hcy group compared with NC group,and the prolifera-tion activity of hepatocytes in Hcy group was de-creased.Sequencing result showed that the recombi-nant plasmid of ERO1 αwas constructed successfully. QRT-PCR and Western blot revealed that ERO1 αwas overexpressed. The result of MTT suggested that ERO1 αoverexpression restored hepatocyte proliferation inhibited by Hcy.Hcy caused ERO1 αDNA hyperm-ethylation.Conclusions Hcy inhibits hepatocyte pro-liferation by downregulating the expression of ERO1 α, and methylation of ERO1 αpromoter may play a role in this process.
