Kidney is the main target organ of uranium after acute and chronic ingestion. Due to the lack of reliable biomarkers in the study of uranium-induced renal injury, the epidemiological data are not enough to quantify the effects of uranium on human health, and it leads to the inconclusive and inconsistent research results. This paper is focused on the analysis on research progression of domestic and foreign biomarkers of renal injury in uranium drinking water residents, uranium occupational exposure population and Gulf War veterans. The indicators including small molecular proteins and enzymes that reflect the damage of proximal and distal tubules and glomerular, such as β_2-microglobulin, α-microglobulin, retinol binding protein, micro albumin, kidney injury molecule-1, neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin, alkaline phosphatase, N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminase, γ-glutamyltransferase, and lactate dehydrogenase, etc. It is suggested that molecular epidemiology should be applied to long-term cohort studies, and molecular biological detection and analytic techniques should be combined with cohort data information to clarify the dose-effect relationship of biological indicators.

This study was purposed to explore the effect of a new generation of histone deacetylase inhibitor LBH589 alone or combined with bortezomib (Bor) on multiple myeloma cells (MM1R) in vitro. The effect of LBH589 (10, 20, 50 nmol/L) alone or combined with Bor (10, 20 nmol/L) on MM1R proliferation was detected by MTT method; the effect of LBH589 on cell cycle and apoptosis of MM1R cells were determined by flow cytometry; the histone H4 acetylation level of MM1R cells treated with LBH589 (10, 20, 50 nmol/L) for 24 h was analyzed by Western blot. The results showed that the LBH589 alone or combined with Bor all could inhibit the proliferation of MM1R cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. After MM1R cells were treated with drugs for 48 h, the cells in G(0)/G(1) phase increased, the cells in G(2)/M and S phase decreased, suggesting the arrest of cells in G(0)/G(1) phase, at the same time, the apoptosis rate of MM1R cells treated with drugs increased in a concentration-dependent manner, while the effect of LBH589 combined with Bor was more obvious than that of LBH589 alone (P < 0.001). Western blot analysis showed that the histone H4 acetylation level was enhanced in concentration-dependent manner after MM1R cells were treated with different concentrations of LBH589 for 24 h. It is concluded that the LBH589 can inhibit the proliferation of MM1R cells, block the cell cycle, induce cell apoptosis, moreover LBH589 combined with Bor has synergistic effect on MM1R cells.

Objective　To investigate the effect of fatty acid binding protein 7 （FABP7） on blood-brain barrier （BBB） permeability in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion （I/R） rats and the mechanisms involved. Methods　BBB cell model was established by co-culture of rat brain microvascular endothelial cells and astrocytes. The BBB model of I/R injury was established by using oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation （OGD/R） method. This model was treated with the FABP7 recombinant protein （rh-FABP7） alone or together with S7155.ENDOHM instrument，Western blotting and flow cytometry were used to determine the transendothelial electrical resistance （TEER），FABP7，TJ and matrix metalloproteinase （MMP） protein levels，and apoptosis. The rat brain I/R model was established，and rh-FABP7 was injected intraperitoneally. The neurological function score，wet and dry weight method，and Evans blue staining were used to determine the neurological function，brain water content，and BBB permeability of rats. Results　FABP7 overexpression reversed the OGD/R-induced down-regulation of TEER，and FABP7 and TJ protein expression，as well as the up-regulation of MMP2/9 expression and apoptosis （P<0.05）. S7155 treatment promoted the effect of FABP7 on MMP2/9 and TJ protein levels，TEER，and apoptosis （P<0.05）. Moreover，FABP7 overexpression reversed the I/R-induced increase of neural function score，brain water content，and BBB permeability and decrease of FABP7 protein level in rats（P<0.05）. Conclusion　FABP7 alleviated the damage of brain I/R to BBB integrity by inhibiting MMP2/9.

OBJECTIVETo study the anticonvulsive action of scorpion alcoholic extraction (SAE) on phenytoin-resistant convulsive rats made by direct cortical electrical stimulation in order to investigate the mechanism of antagonizing drug-resistance of SAE.

METHODUsing the method of implanting microelectrodes in the cortical motor area of the brains of rats where the brain tissue was stimulated frequently by electricity through microelectrodes until igniting and then PHT (0.154 g x kg(-1) x d(-1)) ig for 7 days, We established phenytoin-resistant convulsive rat model. Total 6 groups were set up in the experiment: Normal control group, convulsion model control group (CMCG), phenytoin-resistant convulsion control group (PRCG), verapamil positive control group (VPCG, 0.0385 g x kg(-1)), scorpion alcohol extraction (SAE1, 6.5 g x kg(-1)) and scorpion alcohol extraction (SAE2, 13.0 g x kg(-1)). After ig both doses of SAE (6.5, 13.0 g x kg(-1)), the effects of SAE on the changes of convulsion threshold of phenytoin-resistant convulsive rats were observed. The method of RT-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect the changes of mdrl gene expression and the method of immunohistochemistry (SABC) was adopted to determine the changes of P-gp expression.

RESULTBoth doses of SAE and verapamil (Ver) ig all raised the convulsant threshold of phenytoin-resistant rats (480.38 +/- 18.48) microA, there were statistical differences (P < 0.05) compared to themselves before drugs-treated. PHT was administrated, and mdrl mRNA and P-gp expression in PRCG was much higher than that in CMCG, with significantly statistical difference (P < 0.01); ig both doses of SAE and Ver all decreased mdrl mRNA and P-gp expression compared to PRCG respectively (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONSAE and Ver ig all produce antagonizing action on phenytoin-resistant convulsive rat model. The machanism is related with inhabiting the mdrl mRNA expression and further decreasing the product P-gp.

Objective: To explore the correction factors of lung cancer caused by radon exposure in a uranium mine, and estimate the excess relative risk (ERR) coefficient of lung cancer caused by radon in the uranium miners. Methods: Male miners who worked in a uranium mine more than one year in Hunan Province from 1958 to 2018 were selected. This study preliminarily estimated the ERR coefficient of lung cancer caused by radon in the miners with different corrections using the Possion regression model. Results: This study cohort included 4 851 uranium miners, with 187 miners died with lung cancer from 1958 to 2018, and cumulative follow-up of 207 251 person-year. The ERR coefficient of lung cancer caused by radon without correction factors was estimated to be 0.21%/WLM (95%CI: 0.04%/WLM-0.27%/WLM). In the final model, the exponential correction factors of radon-induced lung cancer were time since exposure and exposure rate. In this model, if time since exposure was 45 years and the average exposure rate was 0.14 WL, the estimated ERR coefficient was 1.73%/WLM (95%CI: 0.36%/WLM-3.11%/WLM). The ERR decreases by about 60.00% for every 10 years since exposure, and increases by about 30.00% for every one WL increase exposure rate. Conclusion: The correction factors of lung cancer caused by radon in uranium miners in this mine were the time since exposure and exposure rate. It was preliminarily estimated that the ERR coefficient of lung cancer caused by radon in the occupational radon exposed population in this uranium mine was 1.73%/WLM (95%CI: 0.36%/WLM-3.11%/WLM).
