Objective To explore the effect of low calorie metabolism on the survival of HeLa cells exposed to X-rays,and the influence of starvation on the antioxidative factors in the blood of rats after irradiation.Methods MTT method was used to evaluate the impact of different concentration glucose on the proliferation of HeLa cells.Colony formation assay was employed to detect the influence of glucose ( 1,5,10 and 25 mmol/L) on radiosensitivity of HeLa cells. Flow cytometry assay was used to analyze distribution of cell cycle and apoptosis.60 male SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups with 10 rats each.Rats in every two groups were fed ad libitum,fasted for 24 h and fasted for 48 h,respectively.Rats in one group of each approach were respectively exposed to whole-body X-rays at 11 Gy. At 2 h after irradiation,all of rats were sacrificed and their venous blood was collected.Elisa kits were used to detect superoxide dismutase (SOD) and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC).Results An increased viability was observed in HeLa cells treated with the glucose at low concentration ( ＜25 mmol/L),while HeLa cell growth was inhibited by glucose at doses of ＞25 mmol/L. Relevant to cells treated with 1 mmoL/L glucose,SERs (sensitive enhancement ratio) in cells exposed to 5,10 and 25 mmol/L glucose were 1.07,1.10 and 1.23,respectively. A reduction of G2/M and S arrests and apeptosis caused by 6 Gy X-ray irradiation were observed [(49.68 ±1.88)％ and (35.54±1.45)％ at G2/M phase,(16.88 ±1.22)％ and (10.23 ±1.65)％ atS phase,t=10.42,5.61,P＜0.05]and in the cells treated with 1 mmol/L glucose compared with cells treated with 25 mmol/L glucose [ ( 25.50 ± 0.95 ) ％ and (7.56 ± 1.07 ) ％,t =21.72,P ＜0.05 ].Without irradiation,calorie restriction exhibited a negligible influence on SOD and T-AOC in rats.However,after 11 Gy irradiation,compared with rats fed ad libitum,the levels of SOD and T-AOC were significantly increased in rats with calorie restriction ( t =40.32,42.78, P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusions Calorie restriction has a certain radioprotective effect in vivo and in vitro.

A method based on gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was established to analyze the changes of intracellular metabolites and study the toxic mechanisms of different concentrations of particulate matter (PM2.5) effecting the lung tissues in mice.Nasal drip experiments of PM2.5 suspensions (0, 7.5, 20.0, 37.5 g/L) for mice were carried out, and the intracellular metabolites in lung tissues were extracted, pretreated and analyzed.Principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least-squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) were employed for pattern recognition, and an obvious distinction among different conditions was found.According to the PLS-DA loading diagram and variable important factor (VIP) value, 7 kinds of potential biomarkers, alanine, valine, leucine, ornithine, fumaric acid, citric acid and purine (p<0.01), were determined with significant differences between four different concentrations of PM2.5.Metabolic pathway analysis indicated that the oxidative stress reactions were enhanced, and the TCA cycle and the purine metabolism in lung cells were restrained after dripping PM2.5 to the lung tissues in mice.This study could provide a new perspective and theoretical basis for the further analysis on toxic mechanisms by PM2.5.

The present circuit was designed to apply to human tissue impedance tuning and matching device in ultra-short wave treatment equipment. In order to judge if the optimum status of circuit parameter between energy emitter circuit and accepter circuit is in well syntony, we designed a high frequency envelope detect circuit to coordinate with automatic adjust device of accepter circuit, which would achieve the function of human tissue impedance matching and tuning. Using the sampling coil to receive the signal of amplitude-modulated wave, we compared the voltage signal of envelope detect circuit with electric current of energy emitter circuit. The result of experimental study was that the signal, which was transformed by the envelope detect circuit, was stable and could be recognized by low speed Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) and was proportional to the electric current signal of energy emitter circuit. It could be concluded that the voltage, transformed by envelope detect circuit can mirror the real circuit state of syntony and realize the function of human tissue impedance collecting.

Objective To investigate the effect of VPA and molecular hydrogen(H2)on phenotypes of microglia treated with hypoxia. Methods Mouse hypoxic BV2 microglia were treated with VPA or H2. The levels of phenotypic markers of supernatant and cells were detected by ELISA, flow cytometry and real?time PCR,respectively. Results Hypoxia significantly increased mRNA level of M1 marker(iNOS)and reduced mRNA levels of M2 markers(CD206 and TGF?β)in BV2(P<0.05). Besides,the ratio between the mRNA levels of M1 increased(P<0.05). VPA significantly reduced protein level(CD16/32)and mRNA production(iNOS)of M1 markers in hypoxia?treated BV2(P<0.05). The ratio be?tween the mRNA levels of M1 markers and M2 markers(CD16:CD206,CD32:CD206,iNOS:CD206 and iNOS:TGF?β)were also significantly decreased(P<0.05). H2 significantly reduced both protein levels(TNF?α,CD16/32 and iNOS)and mRNA production(iNOS)of M1 markers and increased secretion of M2 marker(IL?10)in hypoxia?treated BV2(P<0.05). The ratio between the mRNA levels of M1 markers and M2 markers(CD16:CD206,iNOS:CD206 and iNOS:TGF?β)were also highly declined(P<0.05). Conclusion Hypoxia can induce microglial cells toward pro?inflammatory phenotype. Both VPA and H2 can inhibit hypoxia?induced inflammatory effect on microglia.

Objective To construct microRNA (miRNA) expression vector targeting surviving,and to investigate its effect on transfected human colorectal carcinoma (HT-29) cell apoptosis and proliferation.Methods miRNA targeting survivin was synthesized and transfected HT-29 cells by lipofectin.HT-29 cells were cultured in the 6 orifices.The cultured cells were divided into control,liposome,negative control and positive control groups.Transient transfected cells were collected and the proliferation index and apoptosis rate of HT-29 cells were detected by flow cytometry.The expressions of survivin mRNA and protein were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot.Results The proliferation index and apoptosis rate of the positive control group were significantly higher compared with normal group,transfection group and mock-vehicle group (17.98％ ± 2.35％ vs 38.04％ ±2.11％ vs 36.73％ ±2.51％ vs 36.57％ ±3.05％; t =20.05,P＜0.01; t =18.75,P＜0.01; t=18.59,P＜0.01; 19.54％ ±1.74％ vs 3.13％ ±0.29％ vs 3.70％ ±0.44％ vs 3.61％ ± 0.50％ ; t =16.40,P ＜ 0.01 ; t =15.84,P ＜ 0.01 ; t =15.92,P ＜ 0.01).Survivin mRNA and protein expression levels were specifically suppressed in transfected HT-29 cells (t =0.68,P ＜0.01 ; t =0.58,P ＜ 0.01; t=0.61,P＜0.01;t=0.64,P＜0.01; t=0.62,P＜0.01;t=0.67,P＜0.01).Conclusion Survivin targeted silence can effectively decrease the expression of survivin mRNA and protein,induce colorectal carcinoma HT-29 cell apoptosis and inhibit cell proliferation.
