Objective To investigate the combined biological effects of low dose radiation,carbon monoxide,benzene and noise on rats.Methods Sixteen male SD rats were randomly divided into experiment group and control group.The experiment group was exposed to carbon monoxide,benzene,low dose radiation and noise daily,the control group was in common environment.Peripheral blood,organ index,and marrow DNA content were detected.Two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) was performed on serum protein analysis.Differential expressed proteins were identified by a matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MAIDI-TOF-MS).Results Compared to control group,the liver index,spleen index,thymus index,leukocytes,platelets count,and marrow DNA content of the experiment group were decreased significantly (t =2.732,4.141,3.053,2.211,2.668,11.592,P <0.05).12 altered proteins were detected and through identification,3 proteins were definite in terms of serum amyloid A-4 protein (SAA4),trichoplein keratin filament-binding protein (TCHP) and tubulin alpha-4A chain (TUBA4A).Conclusions The hematopoietic system and immune system of rats are damaged significantly with the changes of several serum protein expressions by the combined exposure of low dose radiation,carbon monoxide,benzene and noise.This study may provide new information for the mechanism of the combination effects.

The excellent results of 200 cases of chronic hepatitis B (CAH 167,CPH 16.CAH with liver cirrhosis tendency 11 and hepatitis-cirrhosis 6) treated with specific transfer factor extracted from HBVM positive placenta (PSTF) for 3 months in average.The clinical recovery rate was 83.0%,improvement 11.0%.unrecovery only 6.0%,and seroconversion of HBsAg and HBeAg was 9.9% and 32.9% respectively in the near-future.No sider-effect was found during treatment.The relapse rate was 13.9% during average 5.5 months follow-up after discharged,and the clinical recovery rate of the improved and unrecovered cases while they discharged from the hospital was 40.0% and 50.0% respectively during follow-up Therefore,the authors think that the PSTF perhaps an exellent agent similar to SSTF (specific transfer factor extracted from HBVM positive spleen) in treating chronic hepatitis B.But,owing to easiness to collect HBVM positive placenta in our country at present,PSTF perhaps could make a great offer for treating chronic hepatitis B,if it could be used correctly,and,therefore/it seems worthy for profound investigation.

Objective:To establish the quality standard for Sipunculus nudus polysaccharide. Methods:The water content, igni-tion residues and heavy metals in Sipunculus nudus polysaccharide were determined. Authrone-sulfuric acid colorimetry was used to de-termine the polysaccharide content. Results: The water content in the polysaccharide should not exceed 5. 0%, ignition residues should not exceed 1. 0%, and the content of heavy metals should not exceed 20 ppm. The polysaccharide content should exceed 80%( glucose) . Conclusion:The method is accurate and simple, and can be effectively used in the quality control of polysaccharide in Sipunculus nudus Linnaeu.

Objective:To prepare old tea buccal tablets using wet granulation method and optimize the preparation technology. Methods:The amount of each adjuvant was studied by single factor experiments, and the formula of the buccal tablets was optimized by the orthogonal experiments using taste and disintegration time as indices. Results:The optimal formula was composed of old tea ex-tract 30 g,mannitol 60g,PEG6000 20 g,aspartame 10 g,citric acid 10 g and menthol crystal 1 g. All the tested indices including ap-pearance, hardness and disintegration time met the requirements described in Chinese pharmacopeia. Conclusion: The preparation technology is reasonable and feasible for the industrial production.

Objective To investigate the radioprotective effect of cimetidine on survival rate and hematopoietic system in acutely irradiated mice.Methods The total body irradiation doses were 6.0Gy and 8.0Gy respectively at 1.01Gy/min rate. Sixty healthy male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group, model group, positive-drug (523) group and cimetidine groups (33.3mg/kg, 100mg/kg and 300mg/kg). Each group had ten mice. The mice were given intragastric administration of cimetidine for 6d before the irradiation in cimetidine groups, and 523 was administered before irradiation once a day for one day in 523 group, and at 5h after irradiation, was given again. The 30d survival rate after 8.0Gy irradiation was recorded. The peripheral blood cells, bone marrow DNA content and frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (fMNPCE) were determined 30d after 6.0Gy irradiation.Results After 8.0Gy irradiation, all the mice died on 21th day in model control group. The survival rates in cimetidine groups were 50%, 20% and 30%, respectively. After 6.0Gy irradiation on 30th day, compared with control group, the peripheral white blood cells (WBC) and bone marrow DNA content were decreased significantly (P<0.01,P<0.05) in model group, and fMNPCE was increased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with model group, WBC was significantly increased in 300mg/kg cimetidine group (P<0.01). In cimetidine groups, the bone marrow DNA content was increased significantly after irradiation (P<0.01 orP<0.05), and the fMNPCE was decreased significantly (P<0.01 orP<0.05) and tended towards normal.Conclusion Cimetidine could improve 30d survival rate of acutely irradiated mice and has good protective effect on hematopoietic system.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of cimetidine on low dose rate irradiation-induced liver cell apoptosis in Beagle dogs. METHODS: Healthy male Beagle dogs were randomly divided into normal control group, model control group, positive drug group (lentinan, 21.33 mg/kg) and cimetidine low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups (5.33, 10.67, 21.33 mg/kg), with 4 Beagle dogs each. Except for normal control group, other groups were given 60Co-γ accumulative irradiation (dosage rate: 0.040 8 mGy/min) for 23 d; the medication groups were given relevant medicine orally before irradiation, once a day. Twenty-four hours after stopping irradiation, TUNEL method was used to detect the apoptosis of liver cells in Beagle dogs. The percentage of apoptotic cells was calculated. The expression level of apoptosis-related proteins (Bax, Bcl-2, Caspase-3, p53) in liver tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: Compared with normal control group, apoptotic cells and Bax, Caspase-3, p53 positive cells were increased significantly in liver tissue of Beagle dogs in model control group; the percentage of apoptotic cells, protein expression levels of Bax, Caspase-3 and p53 were increased significantly; Bcl-2 positive cells were decreased significantly, and its protein expression level was decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with model control group, above positive cells of liver tissue in Beagle dogs were changed to different extents in medication groups; the percentage of apoptotic cells and protein expression levels of p53 in medication groups, protein expression levels of Bax in positive drug group, cimetidine low-dose and high-dose groups as well as protein expression levels of Caspase-3 in cimetidine groups were decreased significantly; protein expression levels of Bcl-2 were increased significantly in cimetidine groups. The percentage of apoptotic cells in cimetidine medium-dose and high-dose groups as well as protein expression levels of Caspase-3 in cimetidine groups were all lower than positive control group. Protein expression level of p53 in cimetidine low-dose group was significantly higher than positive drug group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Cimetidine can inhibit the low dose rate irradiation-induced apoptosis of liver cells in Beagle dogs, and certainly protect liver cells against irradiation. The mechanism of it may be associated with up-regulating the protein expression of Bcl-2 and down-regulating the protein expression of Bax, Caspase-3 and p53 in liver cells.
