To measure the levels of X ray radiation emitted from computer video display terminals Accumulative doses of X ray radiation emitted from the surface of terminal screen and radiation protcetive screen were measured by highly sensitive LiF(Mg,Cu,P) thermoluminescent dosimetry The average levels of X ray radiation emitted from the surface of terminal screen and radiation protective screen were 0 93 mR/d and 0 24 mR/d respectively [Conclusion]The low energy and low level X ray radiation emitted from the terminals didn′t exceed the related standards

Objective To investigate the effect of olmesartan medoxomil on osteoprotegerin and serum inflammatory factor expression in atherosclerosis model rat.Methods From 2015 April in Jiangsu Institute of schistosomiasis control,24 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the following three groups:the control group was fed with standard food,the model group was fed with high fat diet based on standard food(normal food +2% cholesterol +5% goat fat +0.2% acid +7×105 IU/(kg·d) Vitamin D3),and the olmesartan group was given 3 mg/(kg·d) olmesartan gavage daily on the basis of high fat diet.On the fourth week of experiment the level of serum high sensitivity C reactive protein and serum lipids include total cholesterol,low density lipoprotein,high density lipoprotein and triglyceride were detected.The structure and changes of aortic pathology was observed.The expression of osteoprotegerinin in aortic was detected by immunohistochemistry staining and Western blot.Results Within the model group,the level of serum lipid and high-sensitivity C reactive protein increased significantly,endometrial thickness,intima-to-media thickness ratio and osteoprotegerin expression in aorta was significantly higher than that of normal group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The serum high density lipoprotein increased significantly,the level of other serum lipids and high sensitive C reaction protein decreased significantly,endometrial thickness,intima-to-media thickness ratio and osteoprotegerin expression in aorta of the olmesartan treated rats were significantly lower than those of model animals,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Olmesartan may suppress the development of atherosclerosis in model rats by decreasing the expression of osteoprotegerin and the level of serum inflammatory cytokines.

Carcinoma-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are the main cellular components of the tumor microenvironment and promote cancer progression by modifying the extracellular matrix (ECM). The tumor-associated ECM is characterized by collagen crosslinking catalyzed by lysyl oxidase (LOX). Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) mediate cell-cell communication. However, the interactions between sEVs and the ECM remain unclear. Here, we demonstrated that sEVs released from oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC)-derived CAFs induce collagen crosslinking, thereby promoting epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). CAF sEVs preferably bound to the ECM rather than being taken up by fibroblasts and induced collagen crosslinking, and a LOX inhibitor or blocking antibody suppressed this effect. Active LOX (αLOX), but not the LOX precursor, was enriched in CAF sEVs and interacted with periostin, fibronectin, and bone morphogenetic protein-1 on the surface of sEVs. CAF sEV-associated integrin α2β1 mediated the binding of CAF sEVs to collagen I, and blocking integrin α2β1 inhibited collagen crosslinking by interfering with CAF sEV binding to collagen I. CAF sEV-induced collagen crosslinking promoted the EMT of OSCC through FAK/paxillin/YAP pathway. Taken together, these findings reveal a novel role of CAF sEVs in tumor ECM remodeling, suggesting a critical mechanism for CAF-induced EMT of cancer cells.
