Objective To investigate the effects of iodine excess on spleen cell viability,lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage,mitochondrial superoxide production and peroxiredoxin (Prx)3 expression in methallothionein Ⅰ / Ⅱ knockout (MT-Ⅰ / Ⅱ KO)mice.Methods Spleen cell suspensions were prepared from six to eight-week old and healthy male MT-Ⅰ / Ⅱ KO mice and wild type (WT) mice; the cell number was adjusted to 5 × 107/L and the cells were plated in 96-well plates (100 μl each well); the cells were exposed to various concentrations of KI (0,10-4,10-3,10-2 mol/L) and 10-3 mol/L H2O2,respectively,for two hours,and control group did not give KI nor H2O2.Cell viability was assayed by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) colorimetric method.Cell damage was detected by chemical colorimetric method.Mitochondrial superoxide production in the spleen cells was measured by flow cytometry.Western blotting technology was used to investigate the expression of Prx3.Results In both MT-Ⅰ/Ⅱ KO and WT mice,the differences of cell viability,LDH leakage,mitochondrial superoxideproduction and the expression of Prx3 of spleen cells among the treatment groups were statistically significant (F =357.92,71.03,130.36,10.36,179.58,26.92,187.43,and 7.16,all P ＜ 0.05).Compared to the control group [(100.00 ± 2.00)％,(100.00 ± 1.63)％,(3 202.22 ± 85.63),(3 161.51 ± 144.49)U/L,43.82 ± 1.56,38.60 ± 2.81,0.61 ± 0.09,0.50 ± 0.08],cell viability of 10-4,10-3,10-2 mol/L KI treatment and 10-3 mol/L H2O2 groups [(80.77 ± 1.86)％,(89.89 ± 2.90)％,(76.08 ± 1.92)％,(87.66 ± 1.74),(73.26 ± 1.86)％,(84.30 ± 2.23)％,(66.22 ± 1.71)％,(70.80 ± 1.49)％] was decreased (all P ＜ 0.05); LDH leakage [(3 880.00 ± 190.62),(3 431.17 ± 170.45),(4 178.33 ± 170.43),(3 598.63 ± 189.09),(4 388.61 ± 123.79),(3 863.72 ± 195.64),(4 615.28 ± 196.17),(4 148.12 ± 195.81)U/L] was increased significantly (all P＜ 0.05); and mitochondrial superoxide production in the spleen cells (53.83 ± 3.22,47.03 ± 1.60,58.92 ± 4.00,50.48 ± 2.59,72.72 ± 2.14,68.53 ± 2.97,80.76 ± 4.11,75.26 ± 3.41) was increased significantly (all P ＜ 0.05); Prx3 expressions in 10-3、10-2 mol/LKI and 10-3 mol/L H2O2 treatment groups (0.82 ± 0.12,0.65 ± 0.12,0.96 ± 0.15,0.73 ± 0.16,1.04 ± 0.13,0.85 ± 0.16) significantly increased (all P ＜ 0.05),the differences of Prx3 expressions between 104 mol/L KI groups (0.73 ± 0.15,0.55 ± 0.09),and control groups were not statistically significant (all P ＞ 0.05).In 104,10-3,10-2 mol/L KI and 10-3 mol/L H2O2 treatment groups,cell viability of MT-Ⅰ/Ⅱ KO mice spleen was lower than that of WT mice (t =6.47,10.93,9.30 and 4.96,all P ＜ 0.05); LDH leakage was higher than that of WT mice (t =4.30,5.58,5.56 and 4.13,all P ＜ 0.05); mitochondria superoxide production was higher than that of WT mice (t =4.64,4.33,2.80 and 2.52,all P ＜ 0.05); Prx3 expression was higher than that of WT mice (t =2.54,2.37,2.59 and 2.27,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions KI may decline the cell viability,increase the leakage of LDH and increase the production of mitochondrial superoxide production and Prx 3 expression,which are much more significant in MT-Ⅰ /Ⅱ KO mice,suggesting that MT Ⅰ /Ⅱ has some antioxidative effect in high concentration of iodide induced oxidative stress in the spleen.

Iron homeostasis plays an important role for the maintenance of human health. It is known that iron metabolism is tightly regulated by several key genes, including divalent metal transport-1(), transferrin receptor 1(), transferrin receptor 2(), ferroportin(), hepcidin(), hemojuvelin() and . Recently, it is reported that DNA methylation, histone acetylation, and microRNA (miRNA) epigenetically regulated iron homeostasis. Among these epigenetic regulators, DNA hypermethylation of the promoter region of , and bone morphogenetic protein 6 () genes result in inhibitory effect on the expression of these iron-related gene. In addition, histone deacetylase (HADC) suppresses gene expression. On the contrary, HADC inhibitor upregulates gene expression. Additional reports showed that miRNA can also modulate iron absorption, transport, storage and utilization via downregulation of and other genes. It is noteworthy that some key epigenetic regulatory enzymes, such as DNA demethylase TET2 and histone lysine demethylase JmjC KDMs, require iron for the enzymatic activities. In this review, we summarize the recent progress of DNA methylation, histone acetylation and miRNA in regulating iron metabolism and also discuss the future research directions.

To determine the etiologies and risk factors of intracerebral hemorrhage in young people.
 Methods: A total of 401 young patients with intracerebral hemorrhage were enrolled, and they were assigned into a 20-29 , a 30-39, and a 40-45 age group. The differences of various etiologies and risk factors among the three groups were analyzed.
 Results: There were 273 men and 128 women in the 401 young patients. The etiologies of 294 patients (73.32%) were identified while 107 patients (26.68%) were unknown. Among those with identified etiology, 226 patients (56.36%) suffered from hypertension, 41 patients (10.22%) congenital cerebrovascular malformation (including 25 patients with cerebral arteriovenous malformation, 8 intracranial cavernous hemangioma, and 8 intracranial aneurysm), and 27 other etiologies (including 9 patients with moyamoya disease, 6 cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, 4 drug abuse, 3 hemorrhagic brain tumor, 2 intracranial infection, 1 systemic lupus erythematosus, 1 drug-induced, and 1 eclampsia). Risk factors included hypertension (237 cases, 59.10%), smoking (123 cases, 30.67%), alcohol consumption (74 cases, 18.45%), and others (19 cases, 4.74%; including 8 cases of pregnancy or in the puerperium, 8 family history of intracerebral hemorrhage, and 3 taking anti-platelet aggregation/anticoagulation agents). The rate of hypertension induced hemorrhage significantly increased with age (P<0.01); the rate of vascular malformations in 20-29 age group was obviously higher than other groups (P<0.01); the rate of unknown cause in the 40-45 age group was significantly lower than other groups (P<0.01) and the rate of other etiologies showed no significant difference in the 3 groups. The rate of hypertension was significantly elevated with the age (P<0.01), while smoking, alcohol consumption, and other risk factors showed no significant difference in the 3 groups.
 Conclusion: The rate of intracerebral hemorrhage in young people increases with the increasing of age and hemorrhage affects men more than women; hypertension may be the main cause and congenital cerebrovascular malformation is the second cause, which may be more common in younger patients. Hypertension, smoking, and alcohol consumption may be the major controllable risk factors in intracerebral hemorrhage in young people.
