Background Retninal neovascular diseases caused by hypoxia has become a major blinding disease,which is lack of effective chemical treatment currently,it's important to study the molecuar mechanism of the disease,so as to guide the clinical medication.Objective This study was to explore the effect of 15 (S)-hydroxyeicosate traenoic acid (15-HETE) on the proliferation of hypoxic retinal microvascular endothelial cells (RMVECs) and its probable mechanism.Methods RMVECs were isolated from C57BL/6J mice and incubated and then identified with anti-Ⅷ factor antibody by immunochemistry and immunofluorescence.The cells were divided into the normoxia group and the hypoxia group.The hypoxia cell models were established by treated with 125 μmol/L CoCl2.The cells were cultured with serum-free DMEM containing endothelial cell growth supplement (ECGS)and high glucose for 48 hours,and then different concentrations of 15-HETE (0.0,0.1,1.0,5.0 μmol/L) were added in the medium for 48 hours respectively to subgroup the groups.The proliferation of the cells (absorbance,A) was detected using MTT.The relative expression levels of protein and mRNA of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α),bcl-2 and caspase-3 were assayed by reverse transcription PCR (RT-RCR)and Western blot.Results The cells showed the positive response for anti-Ⅷ factor antibody with the positive rate of (94.38 ±4.25)％.No significant difference was found in the cell proliferation of various groups under the normoxia condition (F =0.283,P =0.837),but under the hypoxia condition,the proliferation values were significantly different among various groups (F =702.582,P＜0.001).The cell proliferation value in the 1.0 μmol/L 15-HETE group and 5.0 μmol/L 15-HETE group was lower than that of the simple hypoxia group respectively(both at P＜0.05).The inhibitory rates in the 0.1,1.0,5.0 μ mol/L 15-HETE groups were (1.09±0.31) ％,(21.09± 3.53) ％ and (49.86 ±4.15) ％,showing a dosedependent manner.No significant difference was seen in the expression levels of bcl-2,caspase-3 and HIF-1α mRNA in various groups under the normoxia conditions.However,compared with the simple normoxia group,the relative expressions of bcl-2 mRNA and HIF-1α mRNA in the cells were increased by 1.53 folds and 1.7 folds in the simple hypoxia group respectively,and caspasse-3 mRNA expression decreased by 70％ (all at P ＜ 0.05).Under the normoxia condition,the expression of bcl-2 and pro-caspase-3 protein in the cells were not significantly different among the various groups (P＞0.05),however,the expressions of bcl-2 and pro-caspase-3 proteins were elevated by 1.6 folds and 1.9 folds in the hypoxia group in compared with the normoxia group (P＜0.05).Compared with the simple hypoxia group,the expressions of bcl-2 and pro-caspase-3 were lowed by 40.4％ and 42.5％ in the 5.0 μmol/L 15-HETE group (P＜0.05).Conclusions 15-HETE inhibits the proliferation of RMVECs and therefore suppresses neovascularization by down-regulating the expressions of HIF-1α and bcl-2 and the activation of caspase-3 in a dose-dependent manner.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effects of the co-administration of γ-aminobutyric acid (CABA), sodium dimercaptopropane sulfonate (Na-DMPS) and vitamin B6 in large doses on liver and heart of rats with acute tetramine intoxication, and compare their separate effects of either GABA or Na-DMPS alone with those of the triad combination. Method Thirty rats were randomized into control group (n = 6), tetramine intoxication without treatment group (n = 6), tetramine intoxication treated with GABA group (n = 6), tetramine intoxication treated with Na-DMPS group (n = 6) and tetramine intoxication treated with triad combination (GABA + Na-DMPS + vitamin B6, GNDV n = 6) group. Samples of blood, liver tissue and heart tissue of rats with acute tetramine intoxication were collected immediately two hours after medication with different drugs. Serum alanine aminotrasferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatine kinase (CK) and creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB) were measured, and the pathological changes of liver tissue and heart tissue were observed under microscope. Results The symptoms of poisoning were apparently relieved and the latency for convulsion/muscular twitch were obviously delayed in poisoned rats treated with GABA, Na-DMPS and GNDV separately. Furthermore, combination group showed the latent period delayed longer than either GABA or Na-DMPS groups The GABA, Na-DMPS and GNDV significantly lowered the serum levels of ALT, AST, CK and CK-MB in rats with tetramine intoxication, and those serum levels of enzymes were lower in GNDV group than those in either GABA group or Na-DMPS group. However, there were no difference in those serum enzymes between GABA group and Na-DMPS group. Moreover, the intoxicated rats treated with combination treatment had the slightest pathological changes in liver and heart (GNDV < GABA or Na-DMPS). Conclusions The co-administration of γ-aminobutyric acid, sodium demercaptopropane sulfonate and vitamin B6 in large doses for the treatment of tetramine intoxication is a method of choice.

A recombinant plasmid pET28a-HBcAg-delta n was constructed, in which three mimic B-epitopes of HER family were inserted into the truncated HBc vector. The fusion protein expressed was purified and used to immunize BALB/c mice to induce antibody against the epitopes. Three mimic epitope genes were inserted into the sequences of amino acid residues 78 and 79 of HBcAg by overlap PCR. The PCR product was then cloned into pET28a to construct recombinant expression plasmid which was transformed to E. coli BL21 (DE3) and induced by IPTG. After purification, the fused protein designed HBHE was used to immunize BALB/c mice to detect humoral immunoresponse. The recombinant plasmid was successfully constructed by DNA sequencing analysis. A fusion protein with correct molecular mass was expressed and confirmed by SDS-PAGE. High titre antibody was elicited in the mice immunized with HBHE by indirect ELISA and Western blotting. The HBc particle vector containing three B-epitopes of HER family had been successfully prepared, purified and high titre antibody against HBHE was detected. All these data are helpful in further research of the broad-spectrum anti-tumour effect of combine polypeptide epi-position vaccine of EGFR and HER2.

Objective: To investigate the thyroid functions and influencing factors among radiation workers in Wuhan City, so as to provide insights into occupational health monitoring among radiation workers. Methods : Radiation workers receiving physical examinations in Wuhan Prevention and Treatment Center for Occupational Diseases from January to October 2022 were enrolled, and participants' gender, age, smoking, alcohol consumption, medical history, medication use, types of occupational radiation and work duration were collected. Triiodothyronine (TT3), thyroxine (TT4), free thyroxine (FT4), free triiodothyronine (FT3) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) were measured using a magnetic microparticle-based chemiluminescence immunoassay. Personnel dose equivalent was monitored using thermoluminescent dosimetry, and annual cumulative radiation dose was estimated. Factors affecting thyroid function were identified using a multivariable linear regression model. Results: Totally 978 radiation workers were recruited, with a median age of 32.00 (interquartile range, 10.00) years, and including 782 men (79.96%) and 196 women (20.04%). There were 246 smokers (25.15%), 257 workers with alcohol consumption (26.28%) and 489 with a history of radiation work (50.00%). The median annual cumulative radiation dose was 0.20 (interquartile range, 0.24) mSv. The percentage of abnormal thyroid function was 14.72%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that women (OR=1.925, 95%CI: 1.061-3.490), history of radiation work (OR=2.810, 95%CI: 1.119-7.057) and involving in medical application (OR=1.915, 95%CI: 1.101-3.332) were associated with abnormal thyroid function. Conclusions The percentage of abnormal thyroid function was 14.72% among radiation workers in Wuhan City. History of exposure to ionizing radiation, types of occupational radiation and gender were main factors affecting thyroid function.

Objective:To investigation the situation of occupational noise exposure and hearing loss among workers in automobile manufacturing enterprise during 2017-2019 in Wuhan.Methods:Workers in automobile manufacturing who underwent physical examination in Wuhan Hospital for the Prevention and Treatment of Occupational Diseases from 2017 to 2019 were included as subjects in the cross-sectional survey. Questionnaire survey, noise detection and pure tone threshold test were used. Excluding individuals with working time less than 3 years and information deficiency, 3 948 individuals were finally included in the study.Results:Among 3 948 workers, 128 workers had hearing loss and the rate of hearing loss was 3.24%, among which 101 workers had high-frequency hearing loss and 27 workers were diagnosed as occupational noise deafness. The prevalence of hearing loss among workers previously exposed to noise was significantly higher than that without prior exposure (12.10%, 0.96%, P<0.05) . The prevalence of hearing loss among workers with occupational noise exposure <80 dB (A) , 80~<85 dB (A) and ≥85 dB (A) was 1.83%, 2.69% and 5.09%, respectively. The prevalence of high frequency hearing loss was 1.60%, 2.05% and 3.71%, respectively. The prevalence of occupational noise deafness was 0.23%, 0.64% and 1.38%, respectively. The prevalence of hearing loss and high frequency hearing loss among workers exposed to different occupational noise was statistically significant ( P<0.05) , while the prevalence of occupational noise deafness was not statistically significant ( P>0.05) . There were statistically significant differences in the prevalence of hearing loss (2.88%, 4.45%) and occupational noise deafness (0.46%, 1.41%) between those who used protective equipment and those who did not ( P<0.05) . Compared with workers exposed to occupational noise <80 dB (A) , workers exposed to occupational noise ≥85 dB (A) had A 3.16-fold increased risk of hearing loss ( OR=3.16, 95% CI: 1.44~6.95, P<0.05) . Compared to workers using hearing protective equipment, the risk of hearing loss ( OR=1.96, 95% CI: 1.25~3.06, P<0.05) and occupational noise deafness ( OR=3.46, 95% CI: 1.51-7.96, P<0.05) significantly increased among those without using hearing protective equipment. Conclusion:The risk of hearing loss in automobile manufacturing workers is significantly associated with occupational noise exposure and the use of hearing protective equipment. Good hearing protection may reduce the risk of occupational noise-induced hearing loss and occupational noise deafness.
