Oxidative damage theory is currently one of the predominant theories on the mechanisms of aging. Previous research has shown that antioxidants can extend the lifespan in the model organism by scavenging free radicals,inducing the expression of stress related genes and hormesis. However, recent studies have suggested that these pharmaceuticals may cause serious side effects,such as promoting oxidation,increasing the risk of cancer,and destroying the metabolic balance. The low absorption and targeting property also limit the efficiency of most antioxidants. As a result ,the correlation between antioxidants and lifespan extension remains to be demonstrated. We reviewed the research progress in the field of lifespan extension by antioxidants in recent years and provided references for future research in related areas.

Objective To explore the clinical features and endoscopic manifestations of eosinophilic gastroente-ritis(EG)in children.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted of the clinical manifestation,laboratory examination,endoscopy(upper and/or colonoscopy)performance,diagnosis and treatment of 49 cases of patients who were diagnosed as EG in Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from July 2013 to July 2015.Results The common clinical manifestations of EG in children were hematochezia(23 cases),diarrhea(20 cases),vomiting(18 cases)and abdominal pain(15 cases).The ages of children admitted to hospital for the first time ranged from 1 month and 7 days old to 13 years and 7 months old,and the mean age was 59.4 months old,in which most patients were younger than 1 year old,accounting for 38.77％(19 cases)of all.Peripheral blood eosinophilia was present in 20 cases(40.82％)of the patients,and only 6/18 cases(33.33％)of the patients had elevated serum IgE.Upon endoscopic analysis,the lesions involved esophagus(4 cases),stomach(14 cases),duodenum(20 cases),small intestine(15 cases),colon(28 cases)and rectum(6 cases),and the most common manifestation under gastroscopy was mucosal hyperemia edema(27 cases)and erosion(9 cases),while the most common manifestation under colonoscopy was mucosal hyperemia edema(25 cases)and nodular hyperplasia(24 cases).All patients improved with food restriction,in which 8 cases were treated with glucocorticoid while 9 cases with oral Singulair and 9 cases with oral Loratadine.All children with symptoms were alleviated somewhat,but 5 cases of them relapsed after drug withdrawal.Conclusions The clinical manifestations of EG in children varied and were mainly hematochezia,vomiting,diarrhea and abdominal pain.Some patients had the elevated peripheral blood eosinophilia and serum IgE.The most common manifestations under gastroscopy were mucosal hyperemia edema and erosion while the most common manifestations under colonoscopy were mucosal hyperemia edema and nodular hyperplasia.

OBJECTIVE:To establish the method for simultaneous determination of 5 saponins in Lonicerae Flos. METHODS:Using macranthoidin B as a reference,HPLC method was adopted to calculate the relative correction factor(RCF)of it to macran-thoidin A,dipsacoside B,macranthoside A and macranthoside B. The contents of above 4 saponins were calculated through RCF. Using the contents of saponins determined by external standard method as measured value,the calculated value was compared with measured value. RESULTS:The linear ranges of macranthoidin A,macranthoidin B,dipsacoside B,macranthoside A and macran-thoside B were 0.316-6.32 μg(r=0.9973),0.453-9.06 μg(r=0.9982),0.231-4.62 μg(r=0.9996),0.342-6.84 μg(r=0.9984) and 0.147-2.94 μg(r=0.9961),respectively. RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were all lower than 2.0%. The recoveries were 97.74%-104.51%(RSD=2.37%,n=6)、96.70%-103.20%(RSD=2.37%,n=6)、96.12%-103.61%(RSD=2.45%, n=6)、98.80%-104.70%(RSD=2.32%,n=6)、99.21%-102.92%(RSD=1.39%,n=6),respectively. There was no statistical sig-nificance between calculated value and measured value(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,precise,stable and re-producible.

Objective:To explore the DNA methylation patterns and methylation differential genes of patients with coal-burning-borne endemic fluorosis, and to provide a basis for study of the pathogenesis of fluoride-induced body injury.Methods:A case-control study was conducted in Shuicheng County, Liupanshui, Guizhou Province, ten patients with severe fluorosis were selected as the fluorosis group in Douqing Township, where people burning high fluorine coal in open range all year round; and ten people without fluorosis phenotype were selected as the control group in Huaga Township, where firewood was the main fuel. Peripheral blood samples were collected from the two groups of people. Reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) technique was used to detect the whole genome DNA methylation pattern ( n = 4) and DNA differentially methylated region (DMR), the DMR differential degree (log 2Ratio) and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were used to screen the methylation differential genes, and real-time PCR was used to verify the mRNA expression levels of the candidate methylation differential genes( n = 10). Results:The methylation pattern analysis results showed that the methylation levels of all C bases in the genome DNA of the fluorosis group and the control group were (61.53 ± 0.59)% and (62.48 ± 1.53)%, respectively; among them, the methylated levels at CG sites were (63.75 ± 0.65)%, (64.36 ± 1.01)%, at CHG sites were (13.79 ± 0.72)%, (16.69 ± 4.06)%, and at CHH sites were (25.12 ± 1.72)%, (29.77 ± 3.97)%. Compared with the control group, patients in the fluorosis group had 1 000 DMR distributed on different autosomes; and the chromosome 19 was the most with 104 segments. There were 978 DMR-related genes, including 265 hypermethylation genes and 713 hypomethylation genes; KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that methylation differential genes were mainly involved in cell metabolism, cancers, and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-protein kinase B (PI3K-AKT) and other signaling pathways; combined with the differential degree of DMR, the hypermethylated succinate dehydrogenase complex flavoprotein subunit A pseudogene 3 (SDHAP3, log 2Ratio = 3.487) and hypomethylated nuclear factor κB inhibitor kinase regulatory subunit γ (IKBKG, log 2Ratio =-4.436) were selected as the candidate genes. There were statistically significant differences in the mRNA expression levels of SDHAP3 (0.54 ± 0.08, 1.00 ± 0.00) and IKBKG (1.32 ± 0.39, 1.00 ± 0.00) between fluorosis group and control group ( F = 22.94, 15.09, P < 0.01 or < 0.05). Conclusion:There are a large number of methylation differential genes in the genomes of patients with coal-burning-borne endemic fluorosis and controls, the hypermethylated SDHAP3 and hypomethylated IKBKG may be involved in fluoride induced body injury.

Aim To investigate whether DATS induce MGC803 cell apoptosis and the relationship betweenapoptosis and Ca~(2+) disruption. Methods MGC-803 cell growth inhibition was measured by MTT assay. Tunnel and flow cytometry methods were used to determine the induction of apoptosis and Ca2+ homeostasis disruption. Result MTT assay showed that the inhibitory rates on MGC-803 cell growth of different concentrations of DATS 4,8,12,16 and 24 mg?L-1 were 0.231?0.037,0.305?0.036,0.455?0.029,0.607?0.058,0.751?0.019 respectively. Flow cytometry analysis showed that treating MGC803 cell with DATS significantly increased the percentage of apoptosis cells and intracellular Ca2+. Treatment of cells with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxye-thane)-N,N,N-tetraacetic acid tetrakis acetoxymethyl ester (BAPTA-AM), cellular Ca2+ chelator, resulted in abolishment of the elevation of intracellular Ca~(2+) and blockage of DATS induced apoptotic of MGC-803. Conclusoin DATS could induce apoptosis of MGC-803 cells through the mechanism of Ca~(2+) homeostasis disruption.

Aim To observe effect of DADS on the differentiation of gastric adenocarcinoma cells and acetylation of human gastric cancer tumor cell transplantable histone.Methods Human gastric adenocarcinoma heterotransplantable tumor model was constructed through subcutaneously injecting MGC803 cells to nude mice.Morphologic changes of xenograft tumor cells were observed with optical microscope,the influence of DADS on xenograft tumor cells generationcycle distribution,the expression of p21~(WAF1) protein,histone H3 and and H4 acetylion were analyzed with flow cytometry and Western blot.Results There was obvious growth inhibitory effect of xenograft tumor while abdominal injection dose were 100 and 200 mg?kg~(-1)DADS;cells density and heteromorphism decreased after treated with DADS.Flow cytometry analysis revealed that treating xenograft tumor cells with increasing quantities of DADS increased the percentage of cells in the G_2/M phase.The proportion of xenograft tumor cells in the G_2/M phase after treatment with 100 mg?kg~(-1) and 200 mg?kg~(-1) DADS was 2.22 and 3.37 times of that in NS group.Western blot analysis showed H3 acetylion increase along with G_2/M arrest of xenograft tumor cells by DADS.DADS didn′t influence the expression level of H4 acetylion;the expression of p21~(WAF1) protein in xenograft tumor increased along with the increases in the concentration of DADS.Conclusion DADS cansignificantly inhibit the growth of human gastric carcinoma xenograft in BALB/C nucle mice and induce cell differentiation,which might be related with up-regulation of histone a cetylization and p21~(WAF1) protein level.
