Journal of Environment and Health 1992;0(02):-
SD rats aged 4 weeks were fed the diets containing high level of selenium(5.68 mg/kg),rich level of selenium(0.73mg/ kg)and(or)high level of Cadmium(33.3 mg/kg).The rats were sacrified at the end of 3,6,9 or 12 weeks after exposure to study the effects of high levels of selenium and cadmium fed to rats on contents of selenium in blood,heart,liver,kidneys,lung,brain and spleen.The results showed that the Contents of selenium in blood and tissues,especially in liver and kidney,were decreased significantly in the rats fed high levels of selenium and cadmium simultaneously in compared with those fed high level of selenium alone.This indicated that the development of endemic selenosis might be affected by cadmium in the area rich in high levels of selenium and cadmium.

Matrine is a traditional Chinese medicine extraction which can inhibit the proliferation, migration and apoptosis of tumor cells. Cell signal transduction affects the tumor biological behavior and growth condition. Except for the widely research of MAPK, JAK-STAT, NF-κB signal transduction pathways, the latest signaling pathways about matrine are Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and mTOR signaling pathway. These pathways are mainly activated by the phosphorylated key proteins to alleviate inflammatory reaction and inhibit the growth of tumor cells and tumor biological behaviors. The research of matrine by cell signaling pathways can provide molecular targeted therapy with theoretical basis. The relationship among different signaling pathways related to the anti-tumor effect of matrine is worth studying deeply in the future.

Objective To prepare quality control samples for St.Louis encephalitis virus(SLEV)molecular detection by constructing pseudovirus containing target sequences of SLEV.Methods According to the principles of armored RNA technique, the prM gene sequence of SLEV was cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector to generate recombinant plasmid pSE380-MS2-SLEV.Then, recombinant E.coli transformed with the corresponding plasmid was induced with IPTG to produce recombinant pseudovirus particles.The particles were purified by chloroform and further characterized by double enzyme digestion and transmission electron microscopy.The temperature sensitivity experiments and quantitative RT-PCR were performed to validate the potential of these pseudovirus particles as quality control samples.Results PCR amplification and sequencing analysis confirmed that the prM gene sequence of SLEV was cloned into vector pSE380-MS2.Transmission electron microscopy showed that homogenous spherical particles with a diameter of about 25 nm were produced upon IPTG induction.The SLEV genomic RNA within the pseudovirus particles was resistant to DNaseⅠand RNase A digestion, and remained stable for 20 days at 37℃.These samples were validated with quantitative RT-PCR for SLEV.Conclusion The RNase-resistant and stable pseudovirus particles containing prM fragment of SLEV are constructed successfully, which can be used as positive quality control samples for RNA extraction and molecular detection.
