Aim To observe the protective effect of quercetin on rat cardiomyocyte apoptosis induced by adriamycin and explore its possible mechanism.Methods Cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were randomly divided into six groups:normal control group, adriamycin group,quercetin control group, adriamycin+quercetin(25,50,100 ?mol?L-1)groups. The activity of LDH was detected by chromatometry, the cardiomyocyte viability was measured by MTT, the ultrastructure of cardiomyocyte was observed by electron microscope, the expression of protein Bcl-2 and Bax was analyzed by immunocytochemical, and the mRNA and protein of caspase-3 were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot respectively.Results Compared with the control group, the activity of LDH was increased but the viability of cardiomyocyte was decreased; the expression of Bax and caspase-3 was up-regulated while Bcl-2 was down-regulated in ADR group.Compared with ADR group, the above changes were lightened in adriamycin+quercetin groups. But the quercetin control group, in which cultured myocardial cells only exposed to quercetin without ADR, had no obvious changes.Conclusions Quercetin significantly inhibits the apoptosis induced by ADR in the cultured myocardial cells. Its mechanism is involved in the apoptosis-related pathways, including caspase-3, Bax and Bcl-2.

Targeted radiation therapy using radionuclides is a favored approach for treating tumors.This procedure involves the delivery of drugs to the lesion site via carriers or interventional methods,followed by the emission of radiation energy that selectively irradiates the lesion tissue.This approach minimizes damage to normal tissue and achieves the desired therapeutic effect.Factors such as the type of therapeutic radionuclide,radiation energy,physical half-life,method of preparation,and toxicity determine their clinical application.In this paper,the characteristics and clinical application of therapeutic radionuclides were reviewed to providing reference for the clinical application of targeted therapeutic radionuclides.
