OBJECTIVETo observe the inhibitory effect of gefitineb on the proliferation and its inducing effect on the apoptosis of mouse I-10 Leydig testicular cancer cells in vitro.
METHODSWe treated I-10 Leydig testicular cancer cells of mice with gefitineb at 0, 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, and 40 µmol/L. Then we determined the inhibitory effect of gefitineb on the growth of the cells by MTT, detected their early and late apoptosis by Annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide double staining and Hoechst 33258 nuclear staining, respectively, and observed the expressions of apoptosis-related proteins Bcl-2, Bax and caspase 3/9 by Western blot.
RESULTSCompared with the blank control group, gefitineb significantly inhibited the proliferation of the I-10 cells at 10 and 20 µmol/L (P < 0.05). The survival rate of the cells was (32.4 ± 2.8)% (P < 0.01) and their early and late apoptosis rates were (26.7 ± 4.2)% and (59.33 ± 10.2)% in the 40 µmol/L group, significantly different from those in the control (P < 0.05 and P <0.01). In comparison with the blank control group, gefitineb at 10, 20, and 40 µmol/L increased the expression of pro-apoptotic protein Bax by (41.9 ± 7.1), (60.1 ± 9.8), and (69.0 ± 11.3)% (all P < 0.05), decreased that of apoptosis-inhibitory protein Bcl-2 by (50.3 ± 8.9), (63.9 ± 6.9), and (88.7 ± 13.9)% (all P < 0.05), and elevated that of the cleft proteins caspase-3 by (69.0 ± 6.9)% (P < 0.05), (71.5 ± 8.1)% (P < 0.05), and (110.9 ± 14.2)% (P < 0.01) and caspase-9 by (51.8 ± 4.9), (54.7 ± 6.7), and (43.8 ± 11.8)% (all P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONGefitineb can increase the cytotoxicity of I-10 Leydig testicular cancer cells of mice and induce their apoptosis via the mitochondria-mediated apoptosis signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the genetic effects of radio-frequency radiation (RF-radiation) on mammalian somatic cells. Methods A meta-analysis of reported data (1991-2009) was conducted to obtain a quantitative estimate of genotoxicity ( including single-and double-strand breaks in the DNA, incidence of chromosome aberration, micronuclei, and sister chromatid exchanges) in RF-radiationexposed cells compared with sham-exposed cells or unexposed control cells. Results After RF-radiation exposure, the weighted mean difference and its 95% confidence interval was 1.03(0. 74, 1.31 )for comet tail length in radiation group, and was 0. 10 (0. 04, 0. 16) for comet tail moment compared with control group. Relative risk and its 95% confidence interval for chromosome aberration was 1.21 (0. 68, 2. 13 )for lower than 2000 MHz RF-radiation exposure group, and 1.76( 1.05, 2.97 ) for more than 2000 MHz RF-radiation exposure group. The combined relative risk and its 95% confidence interval for micronuclei formation was 1.39(1.18-1.64). The combined WMD and its 95% confidence interval for sister chromatid exchanges in radiation group was 0. 40 ( - 0. 33,1.14 ) compared with control group. Conclusions On certain RF radiation exposure conditions, it can increase in the DNA damages and micronuclei formation.There might be an increase of chromosomal aberration occurrence for RF-radiation exposure above 2000 MHz, while no significant differences for those lower than 2000 MHz RF-radiation exposure. For the incidence of sister chromatid exchanges in mammalian somatic cells, RF-radiation exposure had no significant influence.

p-Hydroxybenzoic acid can be oxidized by hydroxyl radicals ( · OH) to produce electroactive 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (3,4-DHBA). Therefore, it can be used as a probe to detect ·OH. In this work, 3,4-DHBA/ PPy / TiO2 molecularly imprinted polymer film was prepared for indirect determination of ·OH based on its recognition ability for 3,4-DHBA. The sensor was constructed by using pyrrole as the functional monomer and 3, 4-DHBA as the template molecule. The sensor was characterized by scanning electron microscope and different electrochemical methods. The preparation and determination conditions, such as the electropolymerization cycle number, pH value in the electropolymerization process, and elution time, were optimized. Under the optimal conditions, a linear range of 1. 0×10-8-1. 0×10-6 mol/ L was obtained for 3,4-DHBA and the detection limit was down to 4. 2×10-9 mol/ L (S / N = 3). This new approach was of low cost and convenience, and was successfully applied to measure the concentration of ·OH in the atmosphere.
