Objective:To explore the feasibility of the optimized cytokinesis-block (CB) assay on radiation-induced nucleoplasmic bridge (NPB), and to provide a scientific basis for the application of NPB in biological dose estimation.Methods:Human peripheral blood in vitro was irradiated with 2 Gy 60Co γ-rays at a dose rate of 1 Gy/min (0 Gy control group). According to the culture time after irradiation, blood samples were divided into group 48, 56, 68 and 72 h. Cytochalasin-B (Cyt-B) with a concentration of 6 μg/ml was added into the samples at 28 h and harvested at 48, 56, 68 and 72 h after irradiation, respectively. On the other hand, the blood samples were treated with different concentration of Cyt-B i. e., 0.6, 1, 2, 6 and 10 μg/ml at the beginning of culture (0 h) and harvested at 68 h after irradiation. The proportion of mononucleated, binucleated and multinucleated cells, radiation-induced NPB and micronucleus (MN) frequencies were analyzed. Results:The nuclear division index (NDI) and proportion of binucleated cells at 2 Gy and 0 Gy had tendency of increasing with cell culture time. NPB frequencies (0.023 0-0.033 0/cell) and MN frequencies had no significantly difference ( P> 0.05). With the increase of Cyt-B concentration, NDI and the proportion of binucleated cells in group 2 Gy and 0 Gy also increased, but NPB frequencies (0.023 0-0.047 0/cell) had no significant difference ( P> 0.05). MN frequencies of group 10 μg/ml were significantly lower than that of group 6 μg/ml ( U=2.74, P< 0.01). Conclusions:Cell culture time and Cyt-B concentration had no significant influence on radiation-induced NPB frequencies, suggesting that NPB could be obtained by appropriately reducing cell culture time and Cyt-B could be added into blood samples at the beginning of culture. But this protocol reduced the number of cells for further analysis, and thus its feasibility for dose estimation still need to be studied.

Objective:To screen radiosensitive lipid metabolites in rat small intestine and analyze their metabolic pathways, in order to provide scientific basis for radiation enteropathy biomarkers.Methods:The total body irradiation of 60Co γ rays was performed to rats with different doses of 0, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 8 Gy. The changes of lipids in small intestine were studied by targeted lipidomics method based on liquid chromatography coupled mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Results:Fifteen lipids in small intestine were screened as radiosensitive metabolites at 3 d after irradiation, including 4 up-regulated lipids and 11 down-regulated lipids( t=-6.395, 5.998, 5.836, -5.503, -5.449, -5.422, 4.841, 4.802, 4.621, 4.457, 4.426, 4.373, 4.110, 3.945, 3.902, P< 0.05 and FDR < 0.05). The metabolic pathways of sphingolipid, glycerophosphoplipid were significantly enriched. Four phosphatidyl serines (PS)increased while 1 phosphatidic acid(PA), 2 sphingomyelins(SM) and 4 fatty acids(FA)decreased in a good dose-response manner( R2> 0.80, P< 0.05), which were more potential radiation enteropathy biomarkers. Conclusions:Lipid metabolites in rat small intestine were significantly changed after the rat was total body irradiated with 60Co γ-rays.Eleven lipids with good dose-response relationship were more potential to be radiation enteropathy biomarkers.

Objective To explore the influences of the final concentration and adding time of Cytochalasin-B (Cyt-B) on radiation-induced nucleoplasmic bridges (NPB) in cytokinesis-block assay.Methods Hunan peripheral blood samples were divided into 5 final concentration groups (group 2,4,6,8,10 μg/ml) according to different final concentrations of Cyt-B.Moreover,blood samples were divided into 4 adding time groups (group 0,28,40,44 h) according to different adding times of Cyt-B.Blood samples were irradiated with 0 (sham irradiation) and 2 Gy 60Co-rays in vitro,at a dose rate of 1 Gy/min.A cytokinesis-block assay was carried out to prepare NPB samples.The percentages of mononucleated,binucleated and multinucleated cells,as well as the frequencies of NPB and micronucleus (MN) in binucleated cells were analyzed using an optical microscope.Results Nuclear division index (NDI) and the percentages of binucleated cells increased with increased concentration of Cyt-B,and decreased with delayed adding time of Cyt-B (except group 0 h) in both final concentration groups and adding time groups.After exposed to 2 Gy,NPB frequencies were no significant difference (except group 0 h).MN frequencies had the trend of decreased with the increased concentration of Cyt-B,but no significant difference with adding time of Cyt-B.Conclusions In cytokinesis-block assay,different final concentration and adding time of Cyt-B may induce to the variation of NPB frequencies,but there was no significant difference.Appropriate increased final concentration or ahead adding time of Cyt-B can increase the percentage of binucleated cells that help to improve the efficiency of analysis.

0.05).However,there was no significant difference in the AMPAR-mediated basal synaptic transmission on hippocampal CA1 between those at the later period(6 weeks) of epilepsy induced by pilocarpine and controls,while LTP was inhibited(P

Objective To establish A1E3 and B1C4 monoclonal antibody-based ELISA for detecting circulating antigen of Schistosoma japonicum and explore its application value in the field. Methods The characteristics of A1E3 and B1C4 monoclonal antibodies were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. The SEA-based ELISA was used to evaluate the titers of A1E3 and B1C4. The orthogonal test was used to determine the best concentration of coating antibody B1C4 and optimal working concentra-tion of A1E3-HRP. Under the optimal conditions,the serum samples of 20 acute schistosomiasis cases,46 chronic schistosomiasis cases,and 20 control sera were tested to evaluate its detection sensitivity and specificity. Seventy-two antibody positive serum sam-ples from Jiangling County of Hubei Province were detected and compared to a commercially available ELISA kit,to evaluate the detection effects of this method. Results The results of SDS-PAGE demonstrated that the purified A1E3 and B1C4 contained a clear heavy chain with molecular weight of 88 000 and 52 000 respectively and had the same light chain with molecular weight of 20 000;while Western blotting demonstrated that A1E3 and B1C4 could be recognized by SEA and serum samples of acute schis-tosomiasis cases. The SEA-based ELISA demonstrated the titers of B1C4 and A1E3 were 1∶105 and 1∶30 000,respectively. The serum samples from all the acute cases and 86.9% of the chronic cases showed a positive reaction. All of the control sera from healthy persons gave a negative response. The positive rates of the double monoclonal antibody ELISA and commercial ELISA for detecting the circulating antigen were 45.8%and 43.1%respectively,and there was no significant difference between the results of the two methods. Conclusion A1E3 and B1C4 monoclonal antibody-based ELISA is established successfully. It exhibits a high sensitivity and specificity in detecting circulating antigen of Schistosoma japonicum.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the detective efficacy of Chromogenic Coliform and Escherichia Coli Agar (CCEA).

METHODSA new chromogenic medium CCEA prepared by Huankai laboratory was used to compare with a classical medium of violet red bile agar (VRBA), and other two Chromogenic media Agar I and Agar II by detecting separately 11 reference strains, thirteen sterile samples with Coliform or E.coli and other four samples, and the accordant rates of detection were observed.

RESULTSCCEA had the good selectivity. To seven kinds of quality strains in the resultant analysis, CCEA with VRBA and Agar I had not shown salience difference (P > 0.05), and CCEA with Agar II had significant difference (P < 0.05). CCEA showed more advantages than the Agar II. To thirteen sterile samples with Coliform or E.coli in resultant analysis, CCEA with Agar I and Agar II had shown no significant difference (P > 0.05), while CCEA with VRBA had significant difference (P < 0.05). CCEA might be more advantageous than the VRBA. In analysis of the four actual samples of Coliform, CCEA with VRBA, Agar I and Agar II showed no significant difference (P > 0.05). The accordant rates were 90%, 71.88%, 86.25% and 81.25% respectively, showing CCEA > Agar I > Agar II > VRBA. To two actual samples of E.coli in the resultant analysis, the CCEA with Agar I and Agar II had not shown significant difference (P > 0.05). The accordant rates were 100% respectively.

CONCLUSIONSThe CCEA might be more advantageous than the VRBA, having the same efficacy as with Agar I and Agar II.
