Objective To investigate the expression of VEGF-C,CD31 and MVD,in human ovarian epithelial carcinoma tissues,development and metastasis of epithelial ovarian carcinoma by observing their expression and analyzing their correlation.Methods 40 samples of ovarian epithelial carcinoma tissues and 20 samples normal ovary tissues were selected from 2004 to 2005 in the third affiliated hospital of Harbin Medical University,as well as 20 cases of normal ovarian tissues samples as control using immunohisrochemical staining assay,we analyzed the expression of VEGF-C,MVD detected by CD31.The relationship of these three factors with patients age tumor stage,differentiation,pathohistological type,were analyzed.Results 67.5%(27/40)had high expression of VEGF-C,15%(3/14)had low espression.The survival of patients with high VEGF-C expression was significantly worse than that of patients with low and negative expression.Conclusion VEGF-C and CD31 may play an important role in the occurrence and development of epithelial ovarian tumors,while MVD maybe associated with the ivasion and metastasis of carcinoma.The detection of VEGF-C combined with CD31 and MVD can objectively reflect the biological behavior of epithelial ovarian tumor.

Objective To explore the current status of radiation protection in interventional procedure and to analyze the existent problems.Methods Using the random sampling,70 interventional radiology workplaces were selected from Hangzhou,Ningbo,Wenzhou,Shaoxing and Jinhua.Information on personal radiation protective products and equipment was collected by filling out the form by hospital and the radiation dose was monitored at various body parts of the workers and at the outside of the operating room.Results All hospitals have been equipped with personal radiation protective products and equipment,22 of which were not with these products and equipment as required.Chest,abdomen and lower limb of interventional radiology workers are easy to receive higher radiation dose than in head (F =4.85,4.92,P ＜ 0.05).The acceptance rates among different body parts of the workers were difference significantly (x2 =35.14,14.92,P ＜ 0.05).Using protective curtain can reduce the radiation dose significantly (t =11.61-68.28,P ＜ 0.05).Meanwhile,it also can improve the acceptance rates significantly (x2 =6.09-28.45,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions It is necessary to strengthen the use of radiation protection equipment among interventional radiology workers to reduce the levels of the individual doses to them.Hospitals must enhance the routine monitoring for improved radiaton protection.

A novel probe (DNSBN) towards biothiols on the basis of 4-hydroxynaphthalimide as fluorophores and 2, 4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyloxy group as specific recognition site was designed and synthesized.The result of absorption and fluorescence spectral analyses indicated that the probe had high sensitivity and selectivity towards cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH), and the detection was not affected by other 17 kinds of natural amino acids.Meanwhile, it was confirmed that DNSBN was a ratiometric probe through the fluorescence titration experiment, and the fluorescent intensity at 555 nm had a high linear relationship with biothiols concentration in the range of 0-20 μmol/L.The detection limits (3σ) of Cys, Hcy and GSH were 25.9, 92.0 and 77.9 nmol/L, respectively.The absorption, emission and mass spectra indicated that biothiols could be engaged in nucleophilic substitution reaction with 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonate, which induced the sulfonic esters decomposed.With the departure of receptor unit, the d-PeT progress (donor-excited photoinduced electron transfer) was blocked with an obvious colorimetric and fluorescence change.Finally, HeLa cell imaging experiments verified that DNSBN had good biocompatibility and could be used to detect exogenous biothiols.

Objective To investigate the concentrations of indoor radon (222Rn) and its daughter products as well as indoor thoron (220Rn) in selected houses in Yuhang district and Sanmen county,Zhejiang province,and estimate their annual effective doses to the population.Methods Solid state nuclear track detectors were used in selected dwellings in Yuhang district and Sanmen county,and the detectors were placed in bedrooms or living rooms.Without changing the ventilation habits of residents,These detectors were continuously placed from March to September in 2009.Results Indoor 222 Rn and 220Rn concentrations in low-rise buildings were the highest among all types of houses.The indoor concentration of 222 Rn had no relation with the building age (F = 0.53,P ＞ 0.05),but that of 220 Rn was dependent on the building age (F = 3.56,P ＜ 0.05).Moreover,the investigation demonstrated indoor 220 Rn concentrations in houses with no decoration were higher than in the houses decorated (t = 2.33,P ＜0.05).The average indoor concentrations of 222Rn and 220Rn in Yuhang district were 32.5 Bq/m3 and 314.3 Bq/m3,respectively,and the annual effective doses were 0.88 mSy and 0.42 mSv respectively.The average indoor concentrations of 222Rn and 220Rn in Sanmen county were 26.8 Bq/m3 and 399.5 Bq/m3,and the annual effective doses were 0.72 mSy and 0.53 mSv respectively.Conclusion The concentrations of indoor 222 Rn in some areas of Zhejiang province are at natural background level,and the concentrations of indoor 220Rn in rural areas are relatively higher.The total annual effective dose from 220Rn and its progeny was larger than that from 222Rn and its progeny by 50 percents.

Objective To establish a rapid,high-efficiency and clean way to monitor and pretreat the radioactivity in foods.Methods Food samples,20 kg each of cabbage,crucian,shrimp,pork and 20 L of milk,were collected around Qinshan nuclear power plant,totaling 10 samples for each food.Each type of foods was arranged in two groups each with 10 samples.Samples were pretreated using traditional ashing method (TAM) and microwave ashing method (WAM) separately.HDEHP were used for 90Sr separation and measurement.Calculations were made for the time spent on food pretreatment.The ash-fresh ratio and the recovery rate of 90Sr by the two different method were calculated,with the quality of ash being evaluated.Results The mean time spent on pretreatment was cabbage 20 h,crucian 54 h,shrimp 46 h,pork 58 h and milk 74 h for TAM group,and cabbage 8.5 h,crucian 26 h,shrimp 23 h,pork 26 h and milk 30 h for WAM group,respectively.The time spent by WAM was half the time less than by TAM,especially for animal edible product.The ash-fresh ratios from WAM group were higher than from TAM group.The recovery rates of 90Sr from WAM group in the analytical process were all above 75％,higher than from TAM group.Ashes produced by WAM were hoary,uniform,carbon residue-free and fully ashed.Conclusions WAM pretreatment can pretreat food rapidly,efficiently,cleanly with less loss and better ashing effect.These can meet the requirement of rapid pretreatment of radioactivity in food.
