Objective To explore the effects of ultraviolet on DNA damage in keratinocytes and to observe the protective role of resveratrol for the cells. Methods Comet assay was employed to evaluate the damage after radiation with different doses of UV rays (UVA, UVB and UVC) of 0, 10, 30, 50, 70 and 90 mJ/cm2, and the effects after pretreatment with various concentrations of resveratrol under irradiation with 30 mJ/cm2. Results UVA irradiation (0 ~ 90 mJ/cm2) had no significant effects on HaCaT cells. However, TailDNA%, TailLength, CometLength, TailMoment and OliveTailMoment showed both UVB and UVC induced DNA damage in a dose-de-pentent manner. UVC was more harmful than UVB at the same dose. Conclusions The DNA breakage induced by UVB and UVC is dose-dependent. As compared with UVB, UVC is more harmful to HaCaT cells. Resveratrol exerts a protective effect in HaCaT cells irradiated by UVB or UVC.

Objective To establish the topotecan(TPT)-resistant cell line of human oophoroma (SKOV3/TPT), and to investigate its biological features. Methods To simulate the condition in clinical chemotherapy, drug resistant SKOV3/TPT cell line of human oophoroma was established by challenging SKOV3 with a large dose of TPT (2160ng/ml). Drug sensitivity was assessed by MTT assay. Light microscopy, electronic microscopy, trypan blue staining rejection, and cell counting were employed to determine the biological features of the cell line. Flow cytometry (FCM) was used to study the cell cycle distribution, the accumulation of intracellular drug, and the expression of P glucoprotein (Pgp). Results SKOV3/TPT cells were established successfully, and the resistance index (RI) was 10.67. They showed an obvious cross-resistance to CPT-11, MX and VCR, but still sensitive to taxol, cis-platin, VP16, MTX and 5-Fluorouracil. Comparing with the parent cells, their morphology was unchanged, but multiplication time was prolonged. The apoptosis rate and the proportion of G2+M phase cells of resistant cells were significantly higher than that of their parent cells (P

Objective To investigate whether serum level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol can predict the expan?sion of hemorrhage growth in elderly male patients with acute hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. Methods Patients (n=108) who visited our hospital with from June 2012 until May 2014 spontaneous hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage with?in 6 hours of onset which is confirmed by initial computed tomography (CT) were sent to repeated CT within 24 hours of on?set. All selected patients were divided into the LDL-C≥2.49 mmol/L group and LDL-C<2.49 mmol/L group. Clinical data of these 2 groups were compared and the relationships of hematoma growth and its risk factors were analyzed. Results Baseline blood pressure, the level of blood glucose, PT, APTT, FIB, PLT and hemorrhage volume did not differ significantly between the LDL-C≥2.49 mmol/L group and LDL-C<2.49 mmol/L group. The ratio of hemorrhage growth in LDL-C<2.49 mmol/L group was significantly higher than that in LDL-C≥2.49 mmol/L group (34.21%vs 11.43%). Multiple logistic regres?sion analysis showed that LDL-C<2.49 mmol/L was the only risk factor contribute to hemorrhage growth. Conclusion Pa?tients with LDL-C<2.49 mmol/L in acute intracerebral hemorrhage are of high risk of hemorrhage growth so early attention and appropriate procedure are needed to prevent or slow its growth.
