Journal of Environment and Health 1993;0(03):-
Objective To know the mechanism of the adverse effect of formaldehyde on cortex neurons. Methods In the present study, incubation of postnatal Wistar rat cortex neurons in culture with formaldehyde at 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0 mg/L (medium) was carried out to have knowledge of the effect of formaldehyde on the expressions of GluR2 and GABAR. For keeping the given concentration of formaldehyde, formaldehyde was added to the medium every hour for 4 consecutive hours. Results Immunocytochemistry showed a significant down-regulation of GluR2 and up-regulation of GABAR after 4 consecutive hours of formaldehyde treatment compared with the control (P
2.Myeloid-derived suppressor cells and tumor immune escape
Chinese Journal of Cancer Biotherapy 1996;0(04):-
Myeloid-derived suppressor cells(MDSCs) are heterogeneous cells derived from myeloid progenitor cells and immature myeloid cells(IMCs) in bone marrow;they are the progenitors of dendritic cells(DCs),macrophages and granulocytes.MDSCs proliferate in the blood,spleen,and tumor tissues in tumor-bearing mice and in the peripheral blood and tumor tissues in patients with cancer.MDSCs prevent tumors from attacks by body immunosurveillance and promote tumors progression through inhibiting both innate and adaptive antitumor immunity by a variety of pathways;they are recruited to the peripheral tissues from bone marrow and exert their inhibitory effects on antitumor immunity after activation in peripheral tissues.Chronic inflammation-related cytokines produced by tumors play crucial roles in the recruitment and activation of MDSCs.Progress has been made in antitumor therapies targeting MDSCs.But it has only been 10 years since the discovery of MDSCs,and many questions remain to be answered through experimental and clinical investigations.This review focuses on progress in MDSCs and its subsets,the recruitment and activation of MDSCs,the mechanisms of MDSCs-mediated immunosurveillance and antitumor treatment targeting MDSCs.

Journal of Environment and Health 1993;0(01):-
Objective To know the effect of ultraviolet A on energy metabolism in the cells in culture by using the primary cultured postnatal rat cortex neurons for in which there are many mitochondria. Methods The primary cultured postnatal SD rat cortex neurons in 60 mm dishes were exposed to UVA in a chamber in doses of 0, 3, 6 and 9 J/cm2 respectively. The exposure was followed by 4 hours culture and then the activity of cytochrome oxidase (COX) in the single neuron was determined by cytochemisty, the quantitative analysis was done with Image-Pro plus 4.0. Results In every exposure groups, after UVA exposure followed by 4 hours culture, no significant changed vital signs were found under the microscope, the activity of COX in the neurons significantly decreased compared with the control and a dose-response relationship was presented. Conclusion Low level UVA exposure may cause obvious energy metabolism decrease in the cells in culture before the significant changed vital signs are seen.

Objective: To investigate the mechanisms involved in the induction of antitumor immune responses by MIF gene- modified tumor vaccine. Methods: The changes of the number and the functions of macrophages from the force immunized with MIF gene-modified FBI3 tumor vaccine were analysed.Results: The number,the expression of surface molecules associated with immune responses, the secretion of TNF-?and NO, the phagocytosis, the cytototicity and the antigen presenting activity of peritoneal macrophages from the mice immunized with MIF gene-modified tumor vaccine were all enhanced. Conclusion: The functional enhancement of macrophages is related to MIF secreted by MIF gene-modified tumor vaccine in vivo and the activation of macrophage may play an important role in the antitumor immune responses induced by MIF gene-modified tumor vaccine.

Objective To survey symptom occurrence degree of maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients,and its related factors,and to provide a basis for clinical symptom management. Methods A total of 142 MHD patients were selected with convenience sampling method from a hospital in Ningxia from July 2015 to September 2015 and investigated with the Dialysis Symptom Index ,the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and the family Adaptation,Partnership,Growth,Affection and Resolve(APGAR)Scale. Results The occurrence rate of various symptoms ranged from 53.5%to 92.3%. Fatigue(92.3%),itching(86.6%)and dry skin(85.9%)were the top three prevalent symptoms. Fatigue (30.3%),difficulty falling asleep (27.5%),hyposexuality (27.5%) and trouble in sleeping deeply(27.5%)were the most serious symptoms.Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that gender,nationality,sleep quality,combining with hypertension and arrhythmia had significant influence on the occurrence degree of symptom in MHD patients(P < 0.05). Conclusion Symptoms in MHD patients are preva-lent. Efficient symptom management should be performed to improve the quality of life of MHDpatients.

Objective To study risk factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and status of bone mineral density (BMD) in women with hypoestrogenism.Methods From Jul 2011 to April 2013,a total of 256 women with hypoestrogenism in the First Affiliated Hospital of Shanxi Medical University were enrolled in this retrospective study,which were divided into four groups:133 women in ppausal group,25 women in premature ovarian failure (POF) group,67 women in menopausal transition group and 31 women in premature ovarian failure transition group.General statue,CVD risk factors and BMD were compared among four groups.General statue include menopausal period,menopausal symptoms (Kupperman Index),CVD risk factors include body mass index,blood pressure,waist circumference,waist-hip ratio,blood lipids and glucose,BMD include left hip,lumbar spine bone mineral density and T or Z value.Results (1) The median menopausal period were 3.4 years in postmenopausal group and 3.6 years in premature ovarian failure group,which did not show no statistical difference (P > 0.05).Kupperman Index in four groups were 12 in postmenopausal group,9 in POF group,9 in menopausal transition group and 8 in premature ovarian failure transition group,which reached statistical difference (P < 0.05).(2) The difference of body mass index (BMI),waist circumference,waist-hip ratio,diastolic blood pressure were no statistically significant among four groups(P > 0.05) ; the systolic blood pressure in four groups were 120,110,110,110 mm Hg (1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa),their differences were statistically significance (P < 0.05); the high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) was 1.6 mmol/L in postmenopausal group,and 1.3 mmol/L in premature ovarian failure transition group,their differences were all statistically significance (P < 0.05) ; the difference of the fasting plasma glucose (FPG) was not statistically different in 4 groups (P >0.05).(3) The abnormal rate of lower bone mass in lumbar spine were 57% (46/81) postmenopausal group,8/15 in POF group,32% (9/28) in menopausal transition group,12/19 in premature ovarian failure transition group,and osteoporosis was 9% (7/81),3/15,1% (3/28)and 0 respectively,their differences were statistically different (P < 0.05) ; the abnormal rate of BMD of left hip and lumbar spine of 11/15 and 12/16 in POF group was higher than 65% (53/81) in postmenopausal group.In the mean time,the abnormal rate of BMD of left hip and lumbar spine were,12/19 and 10/20 in premature ovarian failure transition group,which were significantly higher than 43% (12/28) and 39% (12/31) in the menopausal transition group.Conclusions The menopausal symptoms resulting from hypoestrogenism in natural postmenopausal women are mostly remarkable.The decrease of BMD in lumbar spine is more significant than that of left hip among postmenopausal women.Women with earlier menopause was prone to cause the changes of blood fat and abnormal of BMD,especially HDL-C decreased significantly compared with those natural postmenopause,it is more likely to cause CVD and osteoporosis.
