Chinese Journal of Radiological Medicine and Protection 2009;29(1):30-34
Objective To investigate a mechanism protected radiation-induce injure for radiated guinea pigs'nasal mucosa treated with intranasal corticosteroids (fluticasone nasal cavity spray). Methods 50 health guinea pigs were divided into 2 groups randomly: the irradiated group (control group) with 25 guinea pigs and the administration group after irradiation (test group)with 25 guinea pigs. The nasal part of all guinea pigs were performed irradiation by the 6 MV X-ray with single 5 Gy, one time each week for three weeks. The guinea pigs of test group received intranasai eorticosteroids with one time every day and one spray each side nasal cavity on the second day after three weeks irradiation. Five guinea pigs in each group were saeritieed randomly at 1 week, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months and 4 months after irradiation, and the histopathologie changes were observed under optical microscope and electron microscope. At the same time, blood were drawn from the heart and the concentration of IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-α in serum were measured by ELISA. Results The early nasal mucosa inllammatory reaction of the test group was less than the control group. The coverage rate of cilia of the test group was much than that of the control group (72.9% vs 50.2%) at four months after irradiation. The atrophy of submucosal glandular organ was lessened and they displayed some extent secretory function. The concentration of IL-1 in serum was increased very much in the test group compared with the control group after irradiation and kept higher level in the first two months. After two months, it began to decrease;on four months, it still kept equivalency level with the control group. The concentration of IL-6 and TNF-α in serum were reduced all the while. Conclusions The intranasal eortieosteroids with fluticasene nasal cavity spray can reduce radiation-induced injury of guinea pigs' nasal mucosa. The concentration change of IL-I, IL-6 and TNF-α in serum may be one of mechanism protected radiation-induce injure of guinea pigs' nasal mueosa.

Objective: To study shame of college student through phenomenological method. Method: 147 college students (male 53, female 94, average age 20.2) were involved. Each subject was asked to describe his/her personal shame experience, which was rate on phenomenological dimensions. Experience of Shame Scales (ESS) was used either. Result: The finding from phenomenological rating was in accord with the theory of “self orientation". Students with stronger shame proneness showed tendency to attribute negative events to him/herself. Conclusion: Shame is an acutely painful experience that involves a marked self-focus (self oriented) emotion. Shame proneness tended to have stronger sense of worthlessness and powerlessness and have much more strategies of denying and escaping in hard situations.
