Objective To study the distribution of the sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the different organs of mice after exposed to SO2. Methods The Kunming mice were exposed to SO2 at different doses in a chamber in which the concentration of SO2 could be monitored. The concentrations of sulfite in livers, kidneys, spleens and testis from male mice were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection (FD). After reduction, pre-column derivation to tissue homogenates of livers, kidneys, spleens and testis, the mixture was centrifuged, and 5 ?l of the resulting supernatant was directly injected into HPLC with analytical column C18(200 mm ? 5.0 mm, 5 ?m), where the mobile phase consisted of a mixture methanol-water(contained 0.25% acetic acid ) (10:90,V/V), pH was 2.8 adjusted with phosphoric acid, and the exciting and emitting wavelength of fluorescence detection were 392nm and 479nm,respectively. The mobile phase was pumped at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min, and the column temperature was 30 ℃. Results The standard curve of sulfite was linear in the range from 0.063 ?g/ml to 1.26 ?g/ml (r=0.997 8), and the minimal detectable concentration was 0.05 ?g/ml (S/N=3) with a recovery rates of 95%-101%. The relative standard deviations (RSD) of intra-day and inter-day RSD were less than 10%. The results showed that sulfite concentration in all organs tested from mice in SO2-exposed groups was significantly increased (P

Objective To investigate the development and dynamic changes of host immune response in DBA/2 mice infected with Plasmodium yoelii 17XL. Methods Female DBA/2 mice were infected by intraperitoneal ( i. p. ) injection of 106 P. yoelii 17XL parasitized erythrocytes ( PRBC). Levels of IL-12, IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-10 and P. yoelii 17XL-specific antibody in sera were measured by ELISA. Concentrations of NO in cell supernatants were measured by the Griess reaction. Parasitemia,percentage of mononuclear-macrophages of individual mice were monitored daily, and phagocytosis of mononuclear macrophages was also observed. Results Primary parasitemia in vein blood was developed on day 3 postinfection, which peaked with a level of 46. 9% on day 9. Most mice cleared the infection and survived by day 20 postinfection. From day 6 to day 16, the phagocytosis of PRBC by rodent macrophages was observed on the blood smear. Infected mice had a continuously increased level of IL-12 in serum from day 1 postinfection. Accordingly, high level of IFN-γ was also detected in sera from day 1 postinfection,which peaked on day 6. Infected mice produced higher level of IL-4 and IL-10 in serum on day 6 postinfection, which peaked on day 9 and day 15 postinfection respectively. In addition, splenocytes from infected mice produced significantly higher level of NO on day 6 and 20 postinfection. Level of P. yoelii 17XL-specific IgG was determined in the sera of infected mice with a steadily increased trend after infection, which peaked on day 70 postinfection. Conclusions Effective polarizing of Thl cells is significant in inhibition of parasitemia and eventual clearance of the Plasmodium parasites. Activated mononuclear-macrophages play a key role in inhibiting parasitemia in the early phase of infection with P. yoelii 17XL.
