Chinese Journal of Radiological Medicine and Protection 2016;36(8):616-620
Protons and heavy ion radiation therapy have proven highly effective against a wide range of cancers and in recent decades there have been rapid advances.Due to the physical characteristics of the Bragg-peak and superior biological properties,proton and heavy ion radiation is able to focus its energy on the tumor while minimizing exposure to surrounding normal tissues and organs,which is expected help enhance the tumor dose and reduce normal tissue damage.In recent years,many studies have explored the efficacy and safety of proton and heavy ion radiotherapy on various malignancies,such as head and neck cancer,lung cancer,esophageal cancer,and liver cancer.The results of these studies enable a better understanding of the characteristics and advantages of proton and heavy ion therapy.

Objective To study the effect of chemotherapeutic agents of different doses on sensitivity of glioma U251 cell line to chemotherapy.Methods The rates of cell growth of the U251 cell line under the effect of different chemotherapeutic agents(DOX、VCR、VP-16 and with verapamil)of a series of doses were detected by MTT assay.Results Using DOX or VCR or VP-16 singly,the rates of cell growth were detected at a lever with positively correlates with the concentrations of these chemotherapeutic agents.Moreover the rates of cell growth changed more obviously within some range of concentrations,while the change is limited with the high or low concentrations.The combination of pates of chemotherapeutic agents and verapamil show synergistic effect.Conclusions The relationship between the doses of chemotherapeutic agents and sensitivity of chemotherapy gas a basis for choosing appropriate clinical chemotherapy doses.

Objective Investigation and analysis of intelligence and psychomotor function in children born after implementingt universal salt iodization(USI). Methods Historical serious illness areas of water iodine below 10μg/L were selected as study sites, water iodine in 50 - 100 μg/L in the historical non-endemic areas were as control points in Henan, 2008. Cluster sampling was used to select children aged 6 - 15 years as observing subjects,IQ were measured with CRT- Man Test(CRT-C2). A "Tianjin Medical psychomotor test battery" (JPB) was carry out to test psychomotor function. Results In IDD regions 230 children were surveyed post-USI and 1284 children preUSI. The IQs post and pre USI were 99.3 and 99.9, respectively, and the proportion of IQ ≤69 were 2.17%(6/230) and 2.80%(36/1284), respectively. In non-IDD regions 650 children were surveyed post-USI and 2079children pre-USI. The IQs post and pre USI were 95.3 and 93.8, respectively, and the proportion of IQ ≤ 69 were 2.31%(15/650) and 3.37%(70/2079), respectively. In IDD regions, the abnormal rate of T scores and damage index post USI were 3.6%(2/56), 5.3%(3/56), respectively, significantly lower than pre USI [18.1%(29/160),18.1%(29/160), x2 = 7.54, 6.86, all P < 0.01]. Conclusions USI could increase the IQs of children and decrease the positive rate of JPB, and significantly improve the quality of whole nation and persistently eliminating IDD.

Objective To understand the effect of vanadium to liver ultramicro structure in SD rats.Methods One hundred and fifty generaMevel SD rats of 2 months were randomly divided into control groups,30 in each,the males and females were equivalent,treated with ammonium metavanadate at doses of 0,10,20,40,60 mg/L through drinking water.After 2,6 and 10 weeks of treatment,6 rats from each group were weighed and the changes of ultramicro-structure in the liver were examined with electron microscope.Results As the increasing of dose,the increase in body weight showed a downward trend,but the coefficient of liver showed a increasing trend,the consistent performance was seen in male and female rat.After two weeks of exposure,the rats acted,ate and drank less,hair roughing and no shining,often getting together were seen.After 10 weeks,the rats had not the basic activities,the hair was disheveled and loose,some died,the structure of mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum was normal in the 10,20,40 mg/L group,the number of endoplasmic reticulum increased,in 60 mg/L group,the rough endoplasmic reticulum vanished,the liver cytoplasm had a swelling phenomenon,the mitochondria reduced.Conclusion Vanadium have little effect on the liver cells of rats in low exposure level,but high level exposure may damage the liver cells in rats.

Objective To determine the effect of endomorphin (EM) on colonic electromyography activity and investigate the pathogenesis of slow transit constipation (STC). Methods An experimental rat model of slow transit constipation was constructed by contract laxatives mixed with the feed. The changes of colonic electromyography and reaction to endomorphin 1 and endomorphin 2 were examined. Results Compared with the control group, the frequency and amplitude of slow wave in cathartic colon rats were decreased significantly. Endomorphin 1 and endomorphin 2 significantly decreased the amplitudes of slow wave, but did not change the frequencies of slow wave. The effect of endomorphin 1 was more pronounced than that of endomorphin 2, which could be reversed by the morphine antagonist Naloxone in concentration-dependent manner. Endomorphin could not block the stimulating effect of acetylcholine. Conclusions Endomorphin can influence the colonic electromyography activity and intestine motility of cathartic colon rats, and may be involved in the pathologic mechanism of slow transit constipation.

Objective To construct an expression system to produce the virus-like particles containing a part of the sequence of PSA mRNA, which are ribonuclease-resistant due to the encapsulation of the mRNA by bacteriophage MS2 coat proteins. Methods The PCR products of PSA cDNA fragments were cloned to TA vector pBS-T, then the targeted segments could be obtained when the pBS-T-PSA were digested by restriction endonuclease Hind Ⅲ and cloned to prokaryocytic expression vector pNCCL1. The recombinant plasmids named PNCCL1-PSA were transfected into E. Coli BL21-DE3 and induced to express with IPTG. Results The recombinant plasmids were successfully constructed. The bacteriophage MS2 coat protein which expressed in BL21 can self- assemble to form ribonuclease resistant virus-like particles and the PSA mRNA was encapsulated into virus-like particles. Conclusions The virus-like particle containing PSA mRNA can be expressed in prokaryocyte and it can be used as standard and control in detecting PSA mRNA. It provides a new, stable and ribonuclease-resistant RNA standard in RNA detection.
