Objective:The time-dependent changes of hypoxia-inducible factor-1? (HIF-1?) expression induced by CoCl_(2 ) treatment and the effects of genistein on the level of HIF-1? expression in human retinal pigment epithelium cells were studied. Methods:Using a confocal scanning laser microscope coupled to a computer, HIF-1? expression was determined. Results:CoCl_(2 ) treatment could significantly elevate the level of HIF-1? expression. At 0.5 hour after CoCl_(2 ) treatment, the highest level was observed. Genistein 50 ?mol/L, 100 ?mol/L, 200 ?mol/L could suppress HIF-1? expression in a concentration-dependent manner. Conclusions:These results suggested that genistein could inhibit HIF-1? expression induced by CoCl_(2).

BACKGROUND:Single hematology analysis can only reflect the body injury at a certain time point after radiation damage, but cannot reflect the longer-term cumulative status after radiation damage. OBJECTIVE:To identify the biomarkers in blood and urine in mice after radiation damage with metabolomics method based on nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum. METHODS:Forty-eight mice were randomly divided into four groups and received 0 (sham radiation), 3, 9 and 27 Gy radiation. The blood samples were col ected at 24 hours and 5 days after radiation. Another 36 mice were col ected and divided into three groups and received 0 (sham radiation), 9 and 27 Gy radiation, then the urine samples were col ected at 2 days before radiation and 5 days after radiation for 24 hours. The blood and urine samples were analyzed with proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The content of aspartic aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase in blood plasma maintained a stable level after 3-or 9-Gy X-ray radiation, but the level of alkaline phosphatase in blood plasma was increased significantly after 9-Gy radiation, which indicating that low-dose head radiation may cause increased radiation damage and repair. The level of total superoxide dismutase in blood plasma was significantly decreased at 5 days after radiation which indicating that head radiation in mice could cause systemic oxidative stress. Meanwhile, the N-hexamolglycine and-thymidine level in the urine samples was significantly increased after different doses X-ray radiation, which can be used as the radiation damage markers in urine samples after head radiation. The 3-hydroxy-2-methylbenzoic acid 3-O-sulfate level in urine samples was increased by 2.5 times after received 9-Gy radiation, which can be used as the specific markers of middle-and low-dose radiation damage;the level of taurine in the urine samples was increased by 20%after 27-Gy radiation, which can be used as the specific markers of high-dose radiation damage.

This study aims to investigate the preparation process and in vitro release behavior of artesunate polylactic acid microspheres, in order to prepare an artesunate polylactic acid (PLA) administration method suitable for hepatic arterial embolization. With PLA as the material and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as the emulsifier, O/W emulsion/solvent evaporation method was adopted to prepare artesunate polylactic acid microspheres, and optimize the preparation process. With drug loading capacity, encapsulation efficiency and particle size as indexes, a single factor analysis was made on PLA concentration, PVA concentration, drug loading ratio and stirring velocity. Through an orthogonal experiment, the optimal processing conditions were determined as follows: PLA concentration was 9. 0% , PVA concentration was 0. 9% , drug loading ratio was 1:2 and stirring velocity was 1 000 r x min(-1). According to the verification of the optimal process, microsphere size, drug loading and entrapment rate of artesunate polylactic acid microspheres were (101.7 +/- 0.37) microm, (30.8 +/- 0.84)%, (53.6 +/- 0.62)%, respectively. The results showed that the optimal process was so reasonable and stable that it could lay foundation for further studies.
