ABSTRACT
Objective To study the radioprotective potential of CBLB502 protein against hemopoiesis injury by irradiat-ion. Methods C57BL/6J mice were assigned to normal irradiation, and CBLB502 0.2mg/kg 30min pre-irradiation group at random before 6.5 Gy 60Co-γray total body irradiation (TBI). The peripheral blood was obtained to assay hemogram pre and post-irradiation. The bone marrow nucleated cell counts were evaluated in mice at 2 h and 24 h after irradiation. Colony-forming unit (CFU) assay was used to analyze the alteration of hemopoietic progenitor cells in bone marrow. Competitive repopulation assay was conducted to observe the implantation ability of bone marrow cells. The percentage of each lineage hemopoietic cells was measured by flow cytometry analysis. Results CBLB502 significantly alleviated the sharp decrease of peripheral blood counts including leukocyte (WBC), erythrocyte (RBC), and platelet, and accelerated recovery. Counts of various hematopoietic progenitor cell colonies of mouse bone marrow in CBLB502 group were significant higher than those of irradiation group (P<0.01). CBLB502 significantly improved the implantation ability of bone marrow cells. Conclusion CBLB502 showed obvious radioprotective effects on haemopoiesis injury by irradiation.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the influence of hematopoietic growth factors on the TBI patients in the conditioning regimen for stem cell transplantation,and to evaluate the effect of cytokines on treatment of acute radiation disease.Methods The usage of hematopoietic growth factors,implantations and the side-effects of the patients and donors of TBI in the conditioning regimen for stem cell transplantation were retrospectively analysed from 1990 to 2012,and the effect and side-effects of cytokines on the hematopoietic function recovery and stem cell mobilization were observed.Results All patients recovered from their hematopoietic function except one died due to the side-effecs.The median time of white blood cell recover was 10 d in auto-SCT and 12 d in allo-SCT in the G-CSF group.The median day of platelet recovery was 11.67 ± 1.53 in rhIL-11 arm and 13.70 ±6.27 in no rhIL-11 arm in the auto-SCT group.The incidence rates of dental ulcer and diarrhea in the TBI patients were 48％ and 44％,respectively.The occurrence of side-effect was rare in the period of cytokines treatment,but was over 50％ during stem cell mobilization.Conclusions Cytokines play very important roles in the hematopoietic function recovery and stem cell mobilization in the TBI patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the late effect of radiation on child-bearing women,through observing "Fang",a 19-week-pregnant woman at age of 23,who was exposed to 60Co radiation in Shanxi Xinzhou radiation accident in November,1992 and diagnosed as moderate bone marrow type acute radiation sickness and recovered after 16 year of follow-up treatment.Methods Clinical data including medical history,physical examination,laboratory data,imaging findings and consulting relevant departments were reviewed.Results The followed-up woman "Fang" often felt weak and caught cold after recovery.When she was 32 years old (9 years after radiation),her hair turned grey,but without hair loss.Her menstrual quantity was lessened since 31 years old (8 years after radiation).She was remarried and pregnant twice in the same year.At the first time she underwent artificial abortion and the second child suffered from intrauterine death after 6 months of pregnancy.The physical examination found bilateral degree Ⅰ thyroid enlargement and sparse armpit hair.The laboratory test showed the increased levels of triiodothyronine,thyroxine and anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody (TMAb) and the decreased thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH).Unstable chromosome aberrations were totally lost and stable aberrations in chromosomes were detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).The dose estimated with the residue chromosome aberration was 0.76 Gy.Other laboratory results were normal.Ultrasonic test showed diffuse lesion in bilateral thyroid and multiple cystic nodules in right lobe of thyroid,which was considered to be nodular goiter.The examination of bone mineral density (BMD) showed osteoporosis from the second to the fourth lumber vertebra.There were no diseases associated with radiation based on the consultation from related departments.Conclusions Intrauterine death after 6 months of pregnancy might be associated with the previous exposure.There is no evidence of malignant tumor,but non-cancerous diseases are obvious.
