The dynamic variation of folate content in the whole blood from ?-irra-diated rats have been observed. The level of folate, which did not alter significantly 24 hours after whole-body exposure of 800 rads, decreased dramatically to about 50 percent at the 5th day and to about 67 percent at the 10th day. After irradiation the haemoglobin concentration in rats also decreased, but there was no coincidence between the dynamic variation of folate level and haemoglobin concentration. It is probable that ionizing radiation induces the folic acid malnutrition of rats.

Objective To investigated the possible roles of IL-18 in HBV infection, and the expression of IL-18 in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of chronic hepatitis B. Methods In 15 cases of asymptomatic carriers, 30 cases of active and remissive phases of chronic hepatitis and 10 healthy individuals (as normal controls), IL-18 expression in PBMC were quantitatively analyzed with flow cytometric immunological method. The PBMC were separated routinely and stimulated with LPS (SIGMA) and Monensin (SIGMA) for 6 hours. Then the cells were harvested and fixed by PBS/4% paraformaldehyde. The treated cells were stored in liquid nitrogen for detection later. After immunologic stain, the expression of IL-18 in PBMC were examined by flow cytometry. Results ① IL-18 was the lowest in asymptomatic carriers. It was fewer in remissive phase than in normal controls (P<0.01).There was no difference between active phase and normal controls(P=0.25).②Within the group of active phase, IL-18 was significantly different between each grade of inflammatory activity(P<0.01),and correlated with serum ALT positively(r=0.63,P<0.01). Conclusion IL-18 may relate to disease activity and the inflammation of liver.

Objective To study the capacity of dentifrice containing hydroxyapatite (HA) particles with various grain sizes on the sorption of Cu (Ⅱ) ion from aqueous solution. Methods Three groups of dentifrice suspensions containing 3% HA particles with 60 nm grain size, 3% HA particles with 12 μm grain size, and blank dentifrice were prepared with serial concentrations. Copper ion solutions with initial concentration of 4.0 mg/L were mixed with dentifrice suspensions respectively and then been kept still for 24 hours. The residual copper ion concentration of the supernatant was measured by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometer and the sorption rate of copper ion was calculated. Results The residual copper ion concentration of the supernatant decreased with increase of the concentration of dentifrice suspensions. The sorption rate of copper ion of dentifrice containing 60 nm HA was highest among the three groups. Conclusion Nano HA should be added into dentifrice to enhance the sorption capacity of copper ion from aqueous solution.
