Aim To study proliferation capacity of cell and the target relationship between microRNA and Runx2 after effect of puerarin on osteoblasts MC3 T3-E1 . Methods The proliferation capacity of cell was detected by MTT after effect of puerarin on osteoblasts MC3 T3-E1 . The vitality of osteoblasts was detected by activity of alkaline phosphatase. The expression level of mRNA and protein of Runx2 were detected by real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot. The result of miRNA expression spectrum was compared with the predicted result to determine the Runx2-targeting miR-NAs. The expression levels of miRNAs possiby targeted to Runx2 were detected by real-time quantitative PCR. The RhoE 3′UTR vector and RhoE mut 3′UTR vector were constructed. miRNA-204 mimics and miRNA-204 NC were synthetised. The target genes were verified by dual luciferase report gene assay. Results After osteo-blasts treated with puerarin, proliferation capacity and activity of cells were enhanced , expression levels of mRNA and protein of Runx2 were both increased , the expression levels of miRNA-204 and miRNA-344 f-5 p were declined, the expression levels of miRNA-2861 was increased,the expression levels of miRNA-23a-5p, miRNA-770-5 p and miRNA-871-5 p showed no obvious change. According to the results of dual luciferase re-porter gene method after cell transfection of 48 h, only set of 3′UTR Runx2+mimics the miRNA-204 of fluo-rescein protein expression level decreased significantly, showing only the miRNA-204 inhibits Runx2 3′UTR report gene expression. Conclusion Puerarin pro-motes the proliferation of osteoblasts and regulates the miRNAs which possibly target to Runx2 .

Objective To evaluate the difference of PC values based on GBZ 97-2002 and on GBZ 97-2009 for lung cancer cases in Chinese uranium miners.Methods Using 19 lung cancer data ascertained in the past epidemiological study,PC values were calculated according to GBZ 97-2002 and GBZ 97-2009.Results In the 19 lung cancer cases,those cases that could not be judged as radiogenic cancers based on GBZ 97-2002,but may be judged as radiogenic cancers with GBZ 97-2009.The probability was enlarged by 1.1 times at least.The major reason was that the used value was the upper limit of 95% in GBZ 2009 but the median in 2002.Conclusions Compared to GBZ 97-2002,the criteria value of PC in GBZ 97-2009 drops obviously.

Objective To explore the applicable conditions for using urine plutonium monitoring data to assess personal internal doses,in order to provide references for the occupational health management and the urine plutonium monitoring in nuclear sector.Methods Using some plutonium mixtures from DOE nuclear facilities,as an example,the urine plutonium levels were estimated through simulation calculation at 1 mSv effective dose arising from either acute or chronic inhalation of plutonium compounds,respectively.The results were compared with the typical detection limit of radiochemical separation and α-spectrometry.The feasibility of urine plutonium monitoring for dose assessment of internal radiation exposure was discussed.Results Only for type M plutonium compunds,1 mSv detection limit can be achieved using radiochemical separation and α-spectrometry within 10 d after inhalation.Conclusions Before the monitoring plan of urine plutonium is made,detection limits of monitoring method should be considered.Internal dose could be accessed using workplace air monitoring and working hours when necessary.

Based on the study of solid cancer incidence in survivors of the atomic bomb disaster (atomic bomb survivors) from 1958 to 1998, the Radiation Effects Research Foundation (RERF) performed an additional 11-year follow-up (1999—2009) to further investigate the 50-year solid cancer incidence of atomic bomb survivors from 1958 to 2009. Considering influencing factors such as gender, smoking, drinking, body mass index, and medical exposure, we updated the radiation risk estimate for solid cancer and found a new problem of the relationship between gender-specific dose response, exposure age and cancer incidence during the study, which provides guidance for future research.
