Objective To evaluate the effect of gamma irradiation on the proliferation,differentiation,and mineralization of murine osteoblastic cells,and to investigate the related molecular mechanism.Methods Osteoblastic cells were irradiated by different doses (0,0.5,1.0,2.0,5.0 Gy)of 137Cs γ-rays.Cell morphology was observed with a microscopy,cell viability was analyzed by MTT assay,and ALP activity was analyzed by the methods of enzyme histochemistry and PNPP.Meanwhile,gene expressions of ALP,osteocalcin (OC),collagen Ⅰ,osteoprotegerin (OPG) and receptor activator of nuclear factor-kB ligand (RANKL) were measured by semi-quantified RT-PCR.Results Cell viability decreased with the radiation doses over 1.0 Gy ( t =6.197 - 18.677,P < 0.05 ).After radiation with a dose over 2.0 Gy,the cell number and the junctions of cell protrusions decreased,the cells had low refractivity and the activity and mineralization ability of ALP were also inhibited ( t =2.790 -2l.374,P <0.05).In addition,the expressions of ALP and OC mRNA were down-regulated significantly (t =3.563 -16.508,P < 0.05) when the radiation dose was higher than 0.5 Gy,and the expressions of OPG,OPG/RANKL mRNA were down-regulated ( t =12.942,4.954,P < 0.05 ) at 5 Gy.But the expressions of collagen Ⅰ and RANKL mRNA were not affected by irradiation.Conclusions The osteoblastic cells were significantly influenced by γ-irradiation,including morphological changes,inhibition of cell proliferation,differentiation and mineralization ability. Meanwhile,mRNA expressions of ALP and OC were downregulated.OPG/RANKL may be a main pathway of osteoblastic cell damage under high dose radiation.

To standardize the harvest ways of Dendrobium officinale and improve the quality and yield of D. officinale, a field experiment was carried out to study the effect of two kinds of harvest ways, which were keeping some of the axial shoot and harvesting all of the shoot by the end of the year. Then, the agronomic traits and yield were measured and the contents of polysaccharides and extractum were determined. The results showed that the harvest ways significantly affected the growth of D. officinale. Keeping some of the axial shoot could significantly improved the number of sprout, stem length, internode number and the internodal length, which also triggered increase the weight of fresh stems, leaves and the total of them and dry stems in per unit area, but it could not promote the stem diameter and the polysaccharide content in stems. Keeping some of the axial shoot moderately was conducive to the improvement of the production of medicinal materials in the process of harvesting by promoting the germination and growth of new buds, and to ensure the polysaccharide content by regulating the illumination and the density of cultivation.

Objective To investigate the applicability of Cys C-based formulas for prediction of GFR in Chinese patients with CKD.Methods A total of 176 adult patients with CKD including 90 males and 86 females collected from 4 hospitals located in different geographic regions of China (Beijing,Shanghai,Dalian and Changsha) were enrolled in this study from September 2007 to July 2009.The rGFR was measured using 99mTc-DTPA clearance rate two-sample method.Cystantic C was measured by PETIA and PENIA respectively.The results of eGFR in the Larsson formula,Grubb formula,Hoek formula,Filler formula,Stevens formula and Hojs formula were compared with the rGFR to evaluate the calculation coherence,bias,precision,accuracy and the performance of correct phasing of the formulas.Results The mean 99mTc-DTPA clearance was [40.70 ( 19.09 - 86.49)] ml · min-1 · ( 1.73m2 ) -1.Significant difference was witnessed in the evaluation of GFR estimation formulas calculated by PETIA and PENIA (P <0.01).ICC and Spearman correlation analysis revealed a significant correlation between eGFR and rGFR.The ICCs of eGFR and rGFR ranged from 0.874 to 0.938.Compared with rGFR,the 30% accuracy of all the eight evaluation formulas using PETIA and PENIA method were lower than 60%.The percentages of correct phasing in all the 5 stages of CKD were not ideal.With these formulas,percentages of correct phasing from CKD stage 2 to CKD stage 4 were lower than 65%.The eGFRs were underestimated by formulas evaluated by PENIA in CKD stage 1.All the eGFRs were overestimated remarkably by all equations in CKD stage 5.Conclusions None of the eight Cys C based formulas are ideal for estimation of GFR in Chinese CKD patients,and they can not be applied to Chinese patients directly.For this patient population,further studies will be needed to develop a more accurate Cys C-based GFR estimation formula that includes ethnicity,age and other factors.

Fatty acids of Ralstonia solanacearum cultured under different temperatures, times, pH values and cultural media were detected by using gas chromatography (GC) method. Rs-J.1.4-010704-01v, a viru- lent strain of R. solanacearum isolated from ginger was chosen for the experiment. The results showed that the kind of fatty acid of Rs-J.1.4-010704-01v fluctuated from 14 to 33. The contents of its three plentiful fatty acids, C16:1?7c/C15:0 ISO 2OH, C16:0 and C18:1?7c (with retain times of 10.644, 10.950 and 14.177 min, respectively), also varied in a range of 55.66% to 75.69%. The diversification of the bacterium’s fatty acids at various cultural conditions was clustered into four groups by cluster analysis, according to the kinds and percentage contents of the fatty acids detected. The pathogenicities of Rs-J.1.4-010704-01v under 20?C and 25?C were deduced to be mid-virulent, with C16:0 less than C16:1?7c/C15:0 ISO 2OH. The bac- terium showed as a virulent strain under the other cultural conditions including 30?C~40?C, 24 h~96 h, pH 5~9 and four cultural media (LB、NA、TTC and TSB), with C16:0 more than C16:1?7c/C15:0 ISO 2OH.However, the difference between C16:0 and C16:1?7c/C15:0 ISO 2OH raised significantly from 2.35 to 13.23 under 40?C and 48 h~96 h. Meanwhile, the kind of fatty acid increased more than 30 as the cultural time increased. It was concluded that temperature and cultural time had more significant effects on the fatty acid composition of R. solanacearum than pH value and cultural medium.
