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.

Objective:After construction and identification of HBsAg gene recombinant backbone adenoviral vector,it is to prouduct HBsAg gene recombinant adenoviruses by packing PAd-Easy-1-HBs in 293 cells.Methods:The gene of interest was amplified from plasmid pEcob-6 PCR, the gene of interest which contained HBsAg gene was cloned into on adenoviral shuttle vector pAd-track-cmv. The pAd-track-cmv-HBs was linearized by digesting with restriction endonuclease Pme-1, and subsequently cotransformed into E.coli BJ-5183 cells with an adenoviral backbone vector pAd-Easy-1, Homologous recombinants were performed in bacterial cells. Finally, the linearized backbone adenoviral vector was transfected into adenoviruses packing cells lines,e.g. 293 cell by lipofectamine transfection. Transfections and viral productions can be minotored by green fluorescent protein(GFP). The expression of HBsAg in supermatant was investigated by ELISA. It was a certain HBsAg vaccine to amplify recombinant adenoviruses by repeating the infevtion cell to collect the viral supermatant.Results:GFP expression was visible by fluorescence microscopy after transfection. Adenoviral titer was monitored by GFP expression. GFP expression was visible after repeating the infection cell using the viral supernatant in more than 90 percent of the cells.The HBsAg also expressed in supermatant.Conclusion:HBsAg gene recombinant adenoviral backbone vector has been constructed successfully. HBsAg gene recombinant adenoviruses have been producted by packing in 293 cells. The study provides the possibility of further researches on the development of new anti-HBV vaccines.
