Observations were conducted on 11 kinds of tissues and organs(brown adipose tissue, thymus gland, blood, heart, lungs, muscle, bone, kidneys, spleen, liver, and intestine) in experimental animals, which were fed on crops from endemic areas of Keshan disease and non-endemic areas for 8-13 weeks. The absorption and distribution of 75Se (Na2 SeO3) in above tissue and organs were studied. Results revealed that the absorption of Na2-SeO3 in experimental group fed on crops from endemic area was higher than control group fed on crops from non-endemic area. The gradient of distribution of 75Se in various organs was regular: The highest absorption was in kidneys, the lesser was in liver, spleen and thyrnus, the least was in muscle, heart and bones.In one week observation, the contents of 75Se changed as time passed, but the fluctuating changes of the two groups were different.The regular differences of 75Se absorption as above, revealed a distinction between endemic and non-endemic crops. Under the influences of the crops on experimental animals, there appeared more or less a condition of selenium deficiency, which proved that the soil-water-food chain had apparently influenced the selenium metabolism of the organisms.

Objectives To investigate the effects of cell aging on the disorders relating to gastric mucosa aging.Methods A treatment of 200 μmol/L H2O2 was used to induce senescence of human gastric epithelial cell line GES-1,and the cell growth curve was monitored.Senescence secretory phenotypes were observed by detecting the protein level of p53 and p16INK4a with senescence-associated β-galactosidase(SA-β gal)staining and Western blot testing.The mRNA levels of senescence-associated secretory phenotype(SASP)factors in human gastric epithelial GES-1 cell including IL-1β,IL-6,IL-8,TGF-β、IFN-γ,and VEGF-A were detected by RT PCR.The mRNA expression levels of IL-1β,IL-6,IL-8,TGF-β,IFN-γ,and VEGF in the conditioned medium were detected by ELISA analysis.Results The 200 μmol/L H2O2-induced GES-1 cells stopped proliferating after 3 days of treatment,and cells enlarged and flattened at 10 days.The increased SA-β-gal staining(P<0.001) and the increased expression levels of p53 and p16INK4a proteins indicated the success of establishing the aging model of GES-1.The mRNA levels of IL 1β,IL6,IL8,TGF-β,and IFNγ were higher(t=2.94,3.38,3.15,3.64,2.97;P=0.015,0.000,0.000,0.000,0.000)and the mRNA level of VEGF-A was lower(t=2.31,P =0.20) in senescent GES-1 cells than in the control group.In the conditioned medium of senescent GES-1 cells,the levels of IL-1β,IL6,IL8,TGF-β1,and IFNγ were higher in the H2O2-induced group [(3.12±0.21)μg/L,(4.26±0.15)μg/L,(3.37±0.14)μg/L,(5.34±0.19)μg/L,and(2.90±0.47)μg/L]than in the negative control group[(0.24±0.04,0.04±0.07,0.52±0.02,1.05±0.10,0.52±0.02,respectively,P<0.001)],while the level of VEGF was lower in the H2O2-induced group than in the negative control group(0.21±0.03)μg/L vs (0.59±0.07)μg/L(P<0.05).Conclusions The changes in senescence-associated secretory phenotype factors of the aging human gastric epithelial cells induced by oxidative stress may promote chronic gastritis and gastric cancer.

Objective:To evaluate the role of lactate dehydrogenase in diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP) and the relationship with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α) in mice.Methods:SPF-grade healthy male C57BL/6J mice, aged 6-8 weeks, weighing 18-22 g, were used to establish diabetes mellitus model by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ) 120 mg/kg. Twenty-four mice with diabetes mellitus were divided into 2 groups ( n=12 each) using a random number table method: DNP group and DNP + oxamate group (OXA group). Another 12 SPF-grade healthy male C57BL/6J mice were selected as control group (C group). In OXA group, oxamate 750 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected once a day for 28 consecutive days. The equal volume of normal saline was given instead in C group and DNP group. The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT), blood glucose and body weight were measured at 3 days before STZ injection and at 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks after STZ injection (T 0-4). After the last behavioural test was completed, blood samples were collected from the posterior orbits of anesthetized mice for determination of serum lactate concentrations. The animals were then sacrificed and the tissues from the prefrontal cortex of the brain were taken for determination of lactate content, mitochondrial membrane potential (by the JC-1), content of reactive oxygen species (ROS) (using dihydroethidium probes), and level of histone lactylation and expression of PGC-1α (by Western blot). Results:Compared with C group, the MWT was significantly decreased at T 2-4, the serum lactate concentrations, contents of lactate and ROS and level of histone lactylation were increased, the mitochondrial membrane potential was decreased, and the expression of PGC-1α was down-regulated in DNP and OXA groups ( P<0.05). Compared with DNP group, no significant change was found in blood glucose and body weight ( P>0.05), the MWT was significantly increased at T 2-4, the serum lactate concentrations, contents of lactate and ROS and level of histone lactylation were decreased, the mitochondrial membrane potential was increased, and the expression of PGC-1α was up-regulated in OXA group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Lactate dehydrogenase promotes the development of DNP, and the mechanism is related to promotion of increase in histone lactfication and down-regulation of PGC-1α expression in the prefrontal cortex of mice.
