Objective To identify the effects of different release paths on public dose in the aftermath of a NPP accident.Methods RASCAL4.3 software was used to simulate the source terms of PWR NPPs and the characteristics of dose distribution in different release path scenarios of long term station blackout (LTSBO) accident.Results It had been shown that radioactivity was the highest in Scenario 2,which was the release path for releases of radionuclides into the environment due to steam generator tube rupture.Radioactivity was the lowest in Scenario 1,which was the release path for radionuclides to be released into the environment in the case of containment leakage or failure.TEDE dose was mainly distributed in the region within 40 km of the release point in different scearios.TEDE dose in the most sectors within 80 km was low than 10 mSv in Scenario 1,which was the release path via containment in containment leakage or failure and in Scenario 3,which was the release path by containment bypass.It was greater than 50 mSv in Scenario 2,which was the release path due to steam generator tube rupture.Conclusions For the environmental impact assessment,it should be paid more attention to the fact that the public health impact imposed by radionuclide release into the environment via the release path due to steam generator tube rupture in the aftermath of LTSBO accident at a NPP.

ObjectiveTo explore the biological features of colorectal adenoma with chicken-skin mucosa ( CSM ) and its clinical significance.MethodsExpression of cell proliferation markers ( Ki-67 and COX-2) and apoptosis-related factors ( survivin and caspase-3) in normal colorectal mucosa,colorectal adenoma without CSM,colorectal adenoma with CSM and colorectal adenocarcinoma were detected by immunohistochemistry SP method and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).ResultsImmunohistochemical results revealed a decreased trend in expressions of Ki-67 and COX-2 from colorectal adenocarcinoma through colorectal adenoma with and without CSM to normal colorectal mucosa,while the expressions of survivin and caspase-3 showed an increased trend.By ELISA,the expressions of Ki-67,COX-2,surviving and caspase-3 showed no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05 ) between colorectal adenoma with CSM and coloreetal adenocarcima,while these variables were significantly different (P ＜ 0.05) between coloreetal adenoma with and without CSM,so as well between normal colorectal mucosa and other 3 groups.ConclusionThe biological characteristics of colorectal adenoma with CSM are different from those without,showing an activated cell proliferation and inhibited cell apoptosis with increased carcinogenesis risk.

ObjectiveTo observe the influence of calcium - sensing receptor (CaSR) on Fas/Fas ligand (Fas L) pathway during anoxia/reoxygenation (A/R)- induced cardiomyocytes apoptosis in neonatal rat. MethodsSingle cells were dissociated from minced hearts of 2 - day - old Wistar rats with a 0. 25％ solution of crude trypsin and then cultured as monolayers at a density of 5 x 104cells/cm2 in DMEM medium equilibrated with humidified air containing 5％ CO2 at 37C. Three days after the cells were seeded, the cultured cardiomyocytes were randomly divided into three groups. ( 1 ) control group: cardiomyocytes were continuously cultured for 26 hours in DMEM medium.(2) A/R group: cardiomyocytes underwent anoxia for 2 hours and reoxygenation for 24 hours.(3) GdCl3 group: 300μmol/L GdCl3 was added to the culture medium at the beginning of reoxygenation. Apoptosis of cardiomyocytes was assessed by flow cytometer and morphological alterations were observed with transmission electron microscope.The expression of CaSR, Fas and Fas L were analyzed by Western blot.Results The result of flow cytometer showed that cardiomyocytes apoptosis was 12. 18％ ± 1.54％ in A/R group,and was higher than that in the control group (P ＜0. 01 ). At the same time, mitochondrial cristae dissolution and disappearance could be detected. Compared with A/R group, GdCl3, a specific activator of CaSR, further enhanced cardiomyocytes apoptosis to 20. 25％ + 2. 87％ ( P ＜ 0. 01 ), along with an increment in CaSR, Fas and Fas L expressions ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). ConclusionCaSR is closely involved in cardiomyocytes apoptosia during anoxia/reoxygenation. CaSR could induce apoptosis of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes through Fas/Fas L receptor pathway.

The primary structure of TNK-tissue plasminogen activator (TNK-tPA) was characterized using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Firstly, the molecular mass of deglycosylated protein was measured. Then peptide mass mapping and MS/MS of the reduced, alkylated and trypsin-digested sample were tested and analyzed so as to verify its amino acid sequence and identify post-translational modifications. Results show that the amino acid sequence was consistent with designed structure; about 5% of M207 was oxidized; T61 was fucosylated with -80% occupancy; N103, N448 and N184 (-15% occupancy) were glycosylated with complex-type oligosaccharides. LC-MS coupled with proper sample pretreatment is approved to be a rapid and powerful approach to characterize the primary structure of TNK-tPA.

Objective: To explore the in vitro inhibition effect of Zuojin pills on 6 cytochrome P450 isoenzymes ( CYP1A2, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4) in human liver microsomes. Methods:The water extract of Zuojin pills, Cop-tidis Rhizoma and Euodiae Fructus was respectively incubated with human liver microsomes in the presence of seven probe substrates of CYP450 isoenzymes, and seven metabolites of cytochrome P450 probe substrate ( paracetamol/CYP1A2, 6α-hydroxypaclitaxel/CYP2C8, 4-hydroxydiclofenac/CYP2C9, 4-hydroxymephenytoin/CYP2C19, dextrorphan/CYP2D6, 6β-hydroxytestosterone/CYP3A4 and 1-hydroxymidazolam/CYP3A4) were simultaneously measured by LC-MS/MS, and the inhibitory effects were evaluated with IC50 value. Results:The IC50 value of Zuojin pills on CYP2D6, CYP1A2 and CYP3A4_T was 11. 6, 77. 4 and 97. 0 μg·ml-1 , respec-tively. The other IC50 values were from 334 to 690μg·ml-1 on CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19 and CYP3A4_M isoenzymes. The IC50 value of Coptidis Rhizoma on CYP2D6, CYP1A2 and CYP3A4_T was 5. 8, 36. 8 and 59. 2 μg·ml-1 , respectively. The other IC50 values were from 163 to 476 μg·ml-1 on CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19 and CYP3A4_M isoenzymes. The IC50 value of Euodiae Fructus on CYPs was over 107 μg·ml-1 . Conclusion:Zuojin pills shows notable inhibitory effect on CYP2D6, and weak inhibitory effects on CYP1A2 and CYP3A4_T. Coptidis Rhizoma has similar effects on CYPs and may be the main herbal medicine in the formu-la. Therefore, much attention should be paid to the combination of Zuojin pills and the drugs metabolized by human CYP2D6 in clin-ics.

AIM: To explore the effects and possible mechanism of exogenous spermine on the apoptosis of primary cultured neonatal cardiomyocytes induced by simulated ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. METHODS: To establish a model of simulated I/R, the primary cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were incubated in ischemia-mimetic solution (under the conditions of hypoxia plus serum deprivation) for 2 h, and re-incubated the cells in normal culture medium for 24 h. The apoptotic cell death was assayed by flow cytometry. The morphological alterations of the cells were observed under transmission electron microscope. The transcription and expression of Fas and FasL were determined by the methods of RT-PCR, Western blotting and immunofluorescence. RESULTS: The cells exposed to I/R underwent significant apoptosis, and the percentage of apoptotic cells was 27.4%±1.8%, much higher than that in normal group (5.7%±0.3%). In I/R group the evident histopathological changes were observed and the myocardial transcription and expression of Fas and FasL were significantly upregulated. Compared to normal group, mRNA expression of Fas and FasL increased 2.2 folds and 2.4 folds, respectively, and their proteins increased 1.7 folds and 1.9 folds at 24 h of reperfusion respectively (P<0.01). Pretreatment with 10 μmol/L spermine significantly inhibited apoptosis of I/R injured cells, and the percentage of apoptotic cells was 21.7%±1.3% (P<0.01, as compared to I/P group). Spermine also suppressed the expression of Fas and FasL significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01, as compared to I/P group). CONCLUSION: Spermine plays anti-apoptotic effect on the cultured neonatal myocardial cells under the condition of I/R injury by suppressing the expression of Fas/FasL.
