Chinese Journal of Comparative Medicine 2018;28(3):52-56
Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of rosuvastatin on the migration and invasion of U87 glioma cells and its related mechanisms. Methods Cultured U87 cells were treated with 0, 5, 10 and 20 μmol/L rosuvastatin for 24,48 and 72 h. Cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay. Migration ability of the cells was detected by scratch assay,and invasion ability of the cells was detected by Transwell assay. The expression of matrix metalloproteinase 2(MMP2),MMP9 and the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway-related proteins was detected by Western blot assay. Results Compared with the control group,the viability of U87 cells in the 5,10 and 20 μmol/L rosuvastatin groups was decreased (P < 0.01)in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Migration and invasion abilities of the cells were decreased(P <0.01). In addition,the expression levels of MMP2,MMP9,Wnt1,Wnt3a,Wnt7a,and β-catenin were decreased as well (P < 0.01). Conclusions Rosuvastatin can significantly inhibit the migration and invasion abilities of U87 glioma cells, probably related to the blocking of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Objective:
To investigate the current status of prevention and control of occupational hazards in a city in 2017, to understand the capability to prevent and control occupational hazards and the level of occupational health supervision and management, and to propose measures to urge employers to assume the main responsibility for the prevention and control of occupational diseases.
Methods:
An analysis of the main factors influencing the prevention and control of occupational hazards in the city was performed to screen out six semi-quantitative assessment indicators (including the training of the main responsible persons and occupational health management personnel in companies) and four qualitative assessment indicators (including the coverage of supervision and inspection of occupational hazards performed by the district safety supervision department) , which could be used to measure the prevention and control effects of regional occupational hazards. Each indicator was scored. The typical investigation method was used to do data review and on-site inspection of 170 companies, 17 district-level occupational health supervision departments, and 16 sub-district (township) occupational health supervision departments in the city from October to December, 2017. The prevention and control of occupational diseases in each district was scored, and the completion rate and completion situation of each indicator in the city were analyzed.
Results:
The mean score of prevention and control of occupational hazards in the city was 84.9. The scores of two districts were relatively high, being 88.9 and 88.7, respectively; the scores of 9 (52.9%) districts were higher than 85. The pass rate of training for the main responsible persons and occupational health management personnel in companies in the city was 95.9%, the pass rate of occupational health training for workers was 84.7%, the pass rate of occupational health examination for workers was 96.5%, the pass rate for the inspection of occupational hazardous factors in workplaces was 95.3%, the pass rate for notifying occupational hazards in workplaces is 95.9%, and the pass rate for applying the warning signs of occupational hazards in workplaces was 76.5%.
Conclusion
The awareness of the importance of prevention and control of occupational hazards in all districts of the city has been increased, but the effectiveness of occupational health training for workers needs to be strengthened. The supply and demand of occupational health technical services are still not matched, and the ways and methods of occupational health supervision and inspection need to be improved.

Objective:To explore the effect and mechanism of diosmetin (Dio) on neuronal ferroptosis in rats with bacterial meningitis (BM).Methods:Male SD rats aged 6-7 weeks of SPF grade were selected for the experiment. The BM model was established by injecting group B hemolytic streptococcus into the cisterna magna of cerebellum. Sixty BM model rats were successfully modeled and divided into model group, low-dose Dio group, medium-dose Dio group, high-dose Dio group and inhibitor group according to the random number table method, with 12 rats in each group. Another 12 weight-matched rats were taken as the control group.The rats in the low-dose Dio group, medium-dose Dio group, high-dose Dio group and the inhibitor group were intragastrically administered with Dio at 50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg, respectively. The rats in the control group were intragastrically administered with an equal volume of 0.9 % sodium chloride solution. On the day of intragastric administration, the rats in the inhibitor group were intraperitoneally injected with SIRT1 pathway inhibitor EX527 (10 mg/kg), and the rats in the other groups were injected with an equal volume of 0.9% sodium chloride solution. The above interventions were performed once a day for 28 consecutive days. Loeffler neurological score was used to evaluate the neurological impairment in rats. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in cerebrospinal fluid of rats were detected by ELISA. The number of white blood cells in cerebrospinal fluid was detected by a blood cell analyzer. Glutathione (GSH) was detected by micro-enzyme labeling method, malondialdehyde (MDA) was detected by thiobarbituric acid colorimetric method, reactive oxygen species(ROS) was detected by colorimetry, and Fe 2+ level was detected by ferrozine method. Hematoxylin-eosin staining, Prussian blue staining and TUNEL staining were used to observe the pathological damage, iron accumulation and apoptosis in the hippocampus, respectively.Western blot was applied to measure the expression of transferrin (Tf), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), caspase-3 and SIRT1/Nrf2/HO-1/Gpx4 signaling pathway proteins. Graphpad Prism 9.0 was used for data analysis. One-way ANOVA was used for statistical analysis, and SNK- q test was used for further pairwise comparisons. Results:(1) There was a statistically significant difference in neurological function scores among the 6 groups of rats ( F=125.451, P<0.001). The neurological function score of the model group was lower than that of control group, while the neurological function scores of the low-dose Dio group, medium-dose Dio group, and high-dose Dio group were higher than those of the model group (all P<0.05). The neurological function score of the inhibitor group ((2.57±0.26)) was lower than that of high-dose Dio group ((4.34±0.48)) ( P<0.05). (2) There were statistically significant differences in the levels of IL-6, TNF-α and the number of white blood cells in the cerebrospinal fluid of rats among the 6 groups ( F=127.817, 102.413, 180.967, all P<0.001). The levels of IL-6, TNF-α and the number of white blood cells in model group were higher than those of control group(all P<0.05). The levels of IL-6, TNF-α and the number of white blood cells in low-dose Dio group, medium-dose Dio group and high-dose Dio group were lower than those of model group (all P<0.001), and those in inhibitor group were all higher than those in high-dose Dio group(all P<0.001). (3) There were statistically significant differences in iron deposition rate and neuronal apoptosis rate among the 6 groups of rats ( F=90.857, 88.835, both P<0.001). The iron deposition rate ((18.37±3.14)%) and neuronal apoptosis rate ((27.58±2.63)%) in the inhibitor group were higher than those in the high-dose Dio group ((6.35±1.08)%, (14.02±1.87)%) (both P<0.05). (4) The levels of GSH, ROS, MDA, and Fe 2+ in the hippocampus of the 6 groups of rats showed statistically significant differences ( F=54.465, 106.453, 55.969, 105.457, all P<0.001). The GSH content in the inhibitor group ((103.48±8.76) mmol/g) was lower than that in the high-dose Dio group ((133.97±10.54) mmol/g), while the contents of ROS, MDA, Fe 2+ ((225.17±16.32) μmol/mg, (10.73±1.58) μmol/mg, (62.71±5.43) μg/g) were higher than those of the high-dose Dio group ((131.87±11.67) μmol/mg, (4.35±0.87) μmol/mg, (34.86±2.95) μg/g) (all P<0.05). (5)There were statistically significant differences in the protein levels of Tf, PCNA, Bax, caspase-3, SIRT1, Nrf2, HO-1 and Gpx4 in the hippocampus of the 6 groups of rats ( F=120.179, 107.568, 157.265, 98.031, 90.932, 52.283, 59.424, 114.539, all P<0.001). The protein levels of Tf, Bax and caspase-3 in the hippocampus of inhibitor group were higher than those of the high-dose Dio group, while the protein levels of PCNA, SIRT1, Nrf2, HO-1, Gpx4 were lower than those of the high-dose Dio group (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Diosmetin can activate SIRT1/Nrf2/HO-1/Gpx4 signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting neuronal ferroptosis in BM rats.
