Objective To compare the different doses of low-temperature plasma (LTP) on wound healing in BALB/c mice so as to discuss the effects of the optimal dose of low-temperature plasma dealing with wound in mice and the acting mechanism of wound healing.Methods Adoptatmospheric pressure plasma jet discharged by the dielectric barrier was used to treat mouse skin wound.According to the processing time, the wounds were divided into 10s, 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s experimental groups, while naturally healing wounds served as negative controls and the wounds dealt with recombinant human epidermal growth factor served as positive controls.We recorded the wound size every day, observed the histopathological changes, the expression level of type Ⅰ collagen by immunofluorescence, and analyzed the composition of low-temperature plasma jet.Results The wounds with plasma treatment time of 10s, 20s, 30s, and 40s showed significant daily improvement and almost complete closure at days 12, 10, 7, 13, respectively.However, the wounds with plasma treatment time of 50s remained unhealed atday 14.The wounds in positive control group all healed, and the wound healing effect in positive control group could be achieved in 30s group.HE staining and immunofluorescence staining assays showed the optimal result of epidermal cell regeneration, granulation tissue hyperplasia, and collagen deposition in histological aspect at day 7 in 30 s group.The low-temperature plasma jet contained highly reactive free radicals of nitrogen and oxygen, which play an important role in wound healing process.Conclusion Appropriate doses of cold plasma can accelerate wound healing whereas over-doses of plasma can suppress wound healing.The process of wound healing may be related to reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in LTP.

Objective:To screen the factors that were conducive to prolonging the effective half-life of 131I, and to provide a basis for selecting more suitable patients for the treatment of hyperthyroidism with lithium carbonate assisted radioactive 131I. Methods:Between July 2017 and March 2019, a total of 61 patients (23 males, 38 females, age: 13-73 (37.7±1.9) years) who received lithium carbonate adjuvant therapy before 131I treatment in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were collected into this prospective study. Clinical parameters (serum free triiodothyronine (FT 3), serum free thyroxine (FT 4), iodine uptake rate (2 h, 12 h, 24 h) and ratio of iodine uptake rate (2 h/24 h, 4 h/24 h) before and after taking lithium carbonate were compared by using paired t test. The factors which were conducive to prolonging the effective half-life of 131I were analyzed by linear and multiple regression analyses. Results:Compared with the pretreatment results, lithium carbonate treatment significantly improved the 24 h iodine uptake rate ((74.82±2.69)% vs (82.38±2.33)%; t=2.674, P=0.010), decreased the ratio of 4 h/24 h iodine uptake rate ((88.96±2.85)% vs (82.12±2.27)%; t=2.644, P=0.010), prolonged the effective half-life of 131I ((123.03±3.09) vs (130.38±2.49) h; t=2.656, P=0.010), and decreased serum FT 3 ((26.46±1.65) vs (21.31±1.42) pmol/L; t=3.421, P=0.001) and serum FT 4 ((56.59±2.12) vs (49.24±2.19) pmol/L; t=3.289, P=0.002). Linear regression analysis showed that 2 h and 4 h iodine uptake rate, the ratios of 2 h/24 h and 4 h/24 h iodine uptake rate, and effective half-life of 131I before lithium carbonate treatment were related to the effective half-life of 131I after lithium carbonate treatment ( b values: from -0.576 to 0.642, all P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the ratio of 4 h/24 h iodine uptake rate was the main factor affecting the effective half-life of 131I after taking lithium carbonate ( b=0.642, 95% CI: 0.453-0.832, P<0.001). Multiple linear regression equation was y=-49.785+ 0.642 x. Lithium carbonate treatment could prolong the effective half-life of 131I if the ratio of 4 h/24 h iodine uptake exceeded 77.55%. Conclusion:The ratio of 4 h/24 h iodine uptake rate is the main factor affecting the change of the effective half-life of 131I after lithium carbonate treatment, and patients with hyperthyroidism whose ratio of 4 h/24 h iodine uptake rate exceeds 77.55% can effectively prolong the effective half-life of 131I after taking lithium carbonate.
