ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effects of prolonged low-dose neutron-γ radiation on peripheral blood lymphocytes of logging workers. Methods The health information of workers in a logging company was collected by on-site blood sample collection and questionnaire survey. Individual doses of γ and neutron radiation were recorded using LiF elements and CR-39, respectively. Lymphocyte count in peripheral blood was measured by blood cytometer. Cell cycle and cyclins were detected by flow cytometry. Results The annual dose of some logging workers exceeded 5 mSv. Lymphocyte counts showed a difference of 15% between the group exposed to the lowest annual dose of 0–1 mSv (mean: 2.45 × 109/L) and the group exposed to the highest annual dose of 5–25 mSv (mean: 2.08 × 109/L). In comparison to pre-shift workers, logging workers exhibited a G1-phase arrest in the lymphocyte cycle, along with increased expression of cyclins p21 and CDK2. Conclusion Prolonged exposure to low-dose neutron-γ radiation leads to reduced lymphocyte counts as well as changes in lymphocyte cycle and cyclin expression.

ABSTRACT

Macrophages, as regulatory cells existing in all tissues, exhibit complex responses to radiation stimulation, including both common processes in response to infection and injury and unique polarization transformation. Radiation-related polarization determines the functional types of macrophages. After being exposed to different irradiations, macrophages are regulated by different cytokines, involving multiple signaling pathways. This leads to differential degrees of polarization. The review summarized the regulatory effects of radiation on the polarization and functions of macrophages in order to provide basis for theoretical research on immunity and clinical radiotherapy.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the effect of ionizing radiation on chromosome aberration of peripheral blood lymphocytes in children with vascular interventional procedure.Methods:The chromosome aberration of peripheral blood lymphocytes was analyzed before and after vascular interventional procedure to assess the effect of low-dose ionizing radiation on chromosomes. Peripheral blood (PB) was collected using heparin as an anticoagulant from 26 patients before and after (within 10 minutes) vascular interventional surgery. Informed consent was obtained from the patients′ parents.Results:Dicentric + centric ring (dic+ r) formation increased significantly ( U=647, P<0.01) in peripheral blood lymphocytes of children after interventional operation. No correlation was observed between the rate of dic+ r and the cumulative dose (CD), dose area product (DAP), age, body weight, gender and the estimated effective dose E ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in dic+ r rate of children between different genders, ages and lesion sites ( P>0.05). The dic+ r rate after interventional operation exceeded 40×10 -3 in 4 of 26 cases with the highest of 95.83×10 -3. Conclusions:The ionizing radiation during children′s vascular interventional procedure might lead to the increase of chromosome aberration of peripheral blood lymphocytes and some children are abnormally sensitive. Great attention should be paid to the justification and radiation protection during interventional procedure for children.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the predictors of recovery of normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with chronic Keshan disease (CKD) after standard anti-heart failure treatment.Methods:From June 2013 to October 2017, CKD patients were selected as the research subjects in 8 Keshan disease counties (cities) in Shandong Province. Demographic data and clinical indicators related to the recovery of normal LVEF were collected at the initial diagnosis, and the patients were given standard anti-heart failure treatment. Follow-up was carried out until October 2019 or until all-cause death. Patients were divided into recovery group and non-recovery group according to whether LVEF returned to normal (LVEF≥50% was normal) by group design, and multi-factor logistic regression was used to analyze the predictors of recovery of normal LVEF.Results:A total of 98 CKD patients were included in this study, their average age was (47.51 ± 12.84) years old; body mass index (BMI) was (23.18 ± 4.92) kg/m 2; LVEF was (39.54 ± 8.26)%; male accounted for 65.31% (64/98); the New York Heart Association (NYHA) heart function grade Ⅱ and grade Ⅲ accounted for 46.94% (46/98) and 53.06% (52/98), respectively. The median follow-up time was 26 months, the LVEF of 28 patients (28.57%) returned to normal, and the LVEF increased from (43.27 ± 7.85)% of the baseline to (58.74 ± 6.07)%, the difference was statistically significant ( t=8.25, P < 0.01); LVEF did not return to normal in 70 patients (71.43%), and the LVEF increased from (37.84 ± 6.93)% of the baseline to (42.94 ± 7.31)%, the difference was statistically significant ( t=4.24, P < 0.01). The median recovery time of 28 patients with normal LVEF recovery was 14 months, of which 4 patients (14.29%), 6 patients (21.43%) and 15 patients (53.57%) recovered at follow-up of 6, 12 and 18 months, respectively, and 27 patients (96.43%) recovered within 3 years. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that disease course [odds ratio ( OR)=0.81, 95% confidence interval ( CI): 0.70-0.95, P < 0.05], electrocardiogram QRS wave duration ( OR=0.88, 95% CI: 0.79-0.98, P < 0.05), LVEF ( OR=1.26, 95% CI: 1.13-1.42, P < 0.01), and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD, OR=0.79, 95% CI: 0.66-0.90, P < 0.01) were independent predictors of recovery of normal LVEF. Conclusions:LVEF can return to normal after anti-heart failure treatment in some CKD patients. Patients with shorter disease course, shorter electrocardiogram QRS wave duration, higher baseline LVEF and lower LVEDD are more likely to recover from LVEF.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the relationship of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) on FTO gene rs9939609 with metabolism index and obesity in children. Methods One hundred and fifty-three children (age 7-11 year) were recruited in this study, 102 of them were obese and 51 of them were overweight. One hundred and sixty children with normal body weight were recruited as control. Height, weight and biochemical indicator of liver function were measured. PCR and direct sequence were applied to detect the polymorphism of rs9939609, and the frequency of the allele was calculated. Results TT or TA/AA genotype frequency on FTOgene rs9939609 was significantly different among overweight group, obesity group and normal con-trol group (χ2=23.01, P<0.001);TA/AA genotype frequency in overweight and obesity group was significant higher than that in the control group(P<0.014). The frequencies of T and A allele in overweight group, obesity group and control group was 96.25%and 3.75%, 85.29%and 14.71%, 85.78%and 14.22%respectively. There was significant difference of allelic frequency among overweight group, obesity group and control group (χ2=21.72, P<0.001). The frequency of A allele in overweight and obe-sity group was higher than that in control group (P'<0.014). Subjects with TA/AA allele had significantly higher BMI compared with subjects with TT allele. Conclusions rs9939609 of FTO gene is associated with obesity in children, and allele A on this spot may raise BMI and leads to overweight and obesity.

ABSTRACT

Objective To understand the status quo of the illness situation and the implementation of prevention and control measures on Kashin-Beck disease( KBD ) in Shandong Province , and provide a scientific basis for assessment and acceptance of the work on eliminating KBD. Methods In accordance with the requirements of the national “Implementation Scheme for Endemic Disease Control in 2012” and the “Shandong Provincial Technical Scheme for KBD Control in 2012”. In four towns of Qingzhou, three epidemic villages were selected as the surveying villages in each town in order to understand the implementation of measures for prevention and control of KBD; information such as population of investigating villages, per capita income, farming, food and the implementation of control measures,etc were included. In each investigating village, 7 - 12 years old children were selected to receive clinical and X-ray examination. When fewer than 50 people in a investigating village , one additional endemic village was included near the investigating village , and all children aged 7 to 12 of the village were checked. The number of cases of clinical degree Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲand the detection rates, X-ray positive detection rate, the number of cases of metaphysis, epiphysis, distal end of phalanx, carpal bone, triad and the detection rates were calculated, respectively. Clinical and X-ray diagnosis were based on “The Diagnostic Criteria of Kaschin-Beck disease”(WS/T 207-2010). Results A total of 14 epidemic villages were selected to survey in four towns of Qingzhou. In the recent three years in the epidemic areas, measures of supplying Se had not been implemented;measures of resettlement and off-site education had not been implemented either. In the epidemic areas , the main crops were wheat and corn; the staple food was flour which accounted for more than 80%, and the foreign food bought accounted for only 11%. The areas of returning farmland to forest (grass) accounted for 0.32%(36/11 151) of the original arable land, and the areas of replanting economic crops accounted for 1.17%(131/11 151) of the original farmland. A total of 536 children aged 7 to 12 were examined by clinical and X-rays. Patient of KBD was not detected clinically. Six positive patients with metaphyseal changes of KBD were detected by X-rays, and the average X-ray detection rate was 1.12%(6/536). Patients with abnormal epiphysis, distal end of phalanx and carpal bone were not detected by X-rays. Conclusions KBD in Shandong Province has been effectively controlled. Since the cause of KBD is still unknown, it is necessary to build a sustainable long-term control mechanism of KBD;further improve the monitoring system and dynamic monitoring work still need to be strengthened.

ABSTRACT

Objectives To investigate the effect of matrine (MAT) on adriamycin (ADR) induced podocyte injury in vitro and explore the function of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) protein signaling pathway during the intervention. Methods ADR (1μmol/L) was used to induce the model of podocyte injury and then the podocytes were intervened by 10, 20 and 40μg/ml MAT for 24 hours. The viability and apoptosis rate of podocytes, mRNA and protein expressions of desmin and mTOR were detected. The effect of different concentrations of MAT on ADR-induced podocytes was analyzed. Results Com-pared with the control group, declined viability of podocytes (P<0.001), increased percentage of apoptotic podocytes (P<0.001), and increased expression of damage marker desmin (P=0.002) were observed in ADR group. In ADR group, after intervention with MAT of 10-40μg/ml, increased viability of podocytes (P<0.05), decreased percentage of apoptotic podocytes (P<0.05), and decreased expression of damage marker Desmin were found (P<0.05). The protein expression of mTOR and phosphorylation state of mTOR (p-mTOR) decreased in ADR induced-podocytes (P<0.05), and after intervention with MAT of 10-40μg/ml, the expression of mTOR and p-mTOR increased (P<0.05). The expression of mTOR downstream target protein s6k1 and 4EBP1 mRNA decreased in ADR group (P=0.071), while increased after intervention with MAT of 10-40μg/ml (P<0.05). Conclusions 10-40μg/ml MAT have protective effects on ADR-induced podocytes in vitro. The protection mechanism may be related to mTOR signaling pathway.

ABSTRACT

Carboxyl-terminal processing protease of D1 protein (CtpA) catalyzes carboxyl terminal processing of the D1 protein of photosystem II, which is essential for the assembly of a manganese cluster and consequent light-mediated water oxidation. It is a target for the discovery of wide-spectrum herbicide. We amplified the CtpA gene from spinach cDNA with standard PCR method and constructed it into pET-28a vector to generate a recombinant expression plasmid. Recombinant CtpA fusion protein with His-tag was expressed as soluble protein in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) after induction with 0.1 mmol/L IPTG at 8 degrees C for 72 h. We purified the CtpA protein with the Ni-NTA affinity chromatography and Superdex 75 gel filtration chromatography respectively, and verified the protein by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting with anti-his antibody. Hydrolysis activity of CtpA was assayed by HPLC method with a synthetic 24-mer oligopeptide corresponding to carboxyl terminal of precursor D1 protein, and gave a total activity of 1.10 nmol/(mg x min). We used the purified CtpA protein as antigen to immune rabbit for the production of polyclonal antibody, and prepared antibody with high specificity and sensitivity. The results obtained in this paper provided the feasibility of high-throughput screening of lead compounds for the protease as inhibitors and mechanism analysis of CtpA enzyme.
