Objective To observe the antioxidant effects of 99Tc-MDP on the brain of aged mice induced by D-galactose.Methods A total of 48 healthy female Kunming mice were divided into 6 groups by random number table method:normal control group,model group,vitamin E (Vit E) group,groups treated with low,middle and high dosages of 99Tc-MDP.Except the normal control group,mice of each group were injected with 10％ D-galactose saline subcutaneously in the neck for 42 d.At the same time,the 99Tc-MDP groups were given different dosages of 99Tc-MDP (1.75× 10-5,3.50× 10-5,0.70× 10-4 μg/g according to the body mass) respectively into abdominal cavity twice a day.Vit E group was given Vit E by intragastric administration from the first day.The model group was injected with saline every day.After behavioral testing,mice serum samples and brain tissue samples were collected for the determination of superoxide dismutase (SOD),malondialdehyde (MDA),glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and monoamine oxidase (MAO)levels.Then the mice were sacrificed and the brain tissue was taken for HE staining.The independent-sample t test was used for data analysis.Results The mice model was established successfully.SOD levels in brain tissue of groups injected with low,middle,high dosages of 99Tc-MDP,Vit E group were (19.06± 6.44),(20.41±4.02),(22.24±3.76),(24.71±5.09) U/mgprot,respectively,all of which were higher than that of the model group((11.32±2.90) U/mgprot;t=3.099 6-6.504 6,P＜0.05 or ＜0.01).There were similar results for GSH-Px (t =2.214 1-4.145 7,P＜0.05 or ＜0.01).MDA and MAO levels in brain tissue of 99Tc-MDP groups were lower than those of the model group (t =2.140 3-3.057 8,all P＜0.05).Compared to normal control group,the hippocampus in model group showed reduced cell number and layers,disordered structure,with part of the cells in smaller volume and abnormal nuclear shape.In Vit E group and the three 99Tc-MDP groups,no significant change of neuron was observed compared with normal control group,the degeneration and necrosis of hippocampal cells were mild compared with model group,the cell number and morphology were normal,and the structures were clear.Conclusion 99Tc-MDP may increase the activities of SOD,GSH-Px and reduce the levels of MDA and MAO in brain tissue of aged mice,thus it may be helpful in delaying the brain aging.

objective To investigate the tissue localization of CD4+T cells producing IL-17,namely Th17 cells.in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE),as well as its relationship with the activity of lupus.Methods By using H&E staining.double-label immunofluorescence.immunohistochemistry and confocal microscopy.the localization of Th17 cells was carried out in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).affected tissue of skin and lung obtained from 4 patients with active SLE and 2 normal human controls.Flow cytometry.reverse transcription PCR.ELISA were used to detect the proportion of Th17 cells in PBMCs,the mRNA expression of interleukin-17(IL-17)A and IL-17 F,and serum level of interleukin 17,respectively,in 50 consecutive adult patients with SLE and 15 normal human controls.Results Th17 cells were detected in PBMCs of patients with active SLE.and the fuorescence intensity of IL-17 was significantly higher in patients with active SLE than in normal human controls(127.6±20.5 vs 40.6±11.1,P＜0.001).Infiltrates of Th17 cells were noted in both skin and lung tissues of patients with active SLE.but not in those of normal human controls.The proportion of Th17 cells in PBMCs was increased in patients with active SLE.and the proportion positively correlated with SLE disease activity index(SLEDAI) (r=0.725,P＜0.01).Further more.a significant increase was observed in the mRNA expression of IL-17 A and IL-17 F and serum level of IL-17 in patients with active SLE compared with normal human controls.The amount of Th17 cells was positively correlated with the development of vasculitis.and it experienced a decrease with the remission of SLE.Conclusions A proliferation of Th17 cells is noted in patients with active SLE.which seems to closely correlated with the activity of SLE and may take part in the development of vasculitis in SLE.

Objective To investigate the effects of Ulinastatin(UTI)on the function of splenic lymphocytes from rats with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP).Method Twenty-eight Wister rats(clean grade)were randomly divided into control,sham operation,SAP,and ulinastatin group.No operation was performed in control group.And rats with sham-operation received laparotomy and catheterization into choledocho-pancreatic duct without injection of sodium deoxycholic.Rats in ulinastatin group received ulinastatin injection(50000 U/kg)via tail vein 30 minutes after pancreatitis induced with DCA injected into pancreatic duct.Rats ofother groups were given equal volume of saline.At 2,4 hours after operation,all animals were killed by neck dislocation,and splenocytes were isolated and cultured in RPMI 1640 medium containing 10%fetal calf serum.Proliferation of splenecytes was determined with MIT cellular proliferation assay.Levels of Th1 cytokines(IL-2,IFN-γ)and Th2 cytokine(IL-10)in supematants of splenoeytesweremeasured by ELISA.Quantitative data were expressed as mean±SE.Statistical analyses were performed by Student's t test with SPSS software(version 10.0 for Windows).A P value less than 0.05 Was considered statistically significant. Results The concentration of IL-2, IL-10 and IFN-γ and proliferative activity of splenocytes in SAP group were significantly lower than that in sham operation group.In contrast,the proliferative as well as the eytokine-releasing capacities of the solenecms from rats treated with UTI were significantly increased compared with those from rats with SAP.Conclusions The deficiencies in proliferation and cytokine release in response to antigen stimulation inaplys an anergic state of splenocytes during SAP.Treatment with UTI contributed to the recovery of the immune function by improving proliferative responses and cytokine release of splenocytes.

Objective: To study the hearing status and analyze the related influencing factors in noise-exposed workers in an automobile manufacture enterprise, and put forward suggestions for prevention of noise-induced hearing loss. Methods: Noise exposure level testing, audiometry testing and questionnaires were performed for noise exposed workers in the automobile manufacture enterprise. To analyze the relationship between different factors and noise-induced hearing loss by cumulative noise exposure(CNE) calculated 8-hour continuous A-weighted equivalent noise level and seniority. Results: The detection rate of hearing loss in noise-exposed workers was 22.8%. The noise exposure intensity of stamping workshop is higher than other workshop, and the hearing loss detection rate of stamping workshop workers is higher than other workshop workers. The detection rate of hearing loss has significant difference in L_{Aeq·8 h}, seniority, CNE, age, high temperature and wearing earplugs (P<0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that CNE, age and high-temperature were risk factors for noise-induced hearing loss (P<0.05 and OR>1) and there was an increasing tendency of hearing loss with increase in length of service and CNE, while using of earplugs was a protective factor (P<0.05 and OR<1). With the increase of CNE, the incidence of hearing loss is the rising trend. Conclusion It is suggested to strengthen the noise control and individual protection and improve the high-temperature working environment, which plays an important role in reducing the occurrence of noise-induced hearing loss.

Objective: To study a lung dose prediction method for the early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy based on machine learning algorithm, and to evaluate the feasibility of application in planning quality assurance. Methods: A machine learning algorithm was utilized to achieve DVH prediction. First, an expert plan dataset with 125 cases was built, and the geometric features of ROI, beam angle and dose-volume histogram(DVH) parameters in the dataset were extracted. Following a correlation model was established between the features and DVHs. Second, the geometric and beam features from 10 cases outside the training pool were extracted, and the model was adopted to predict the achievable DVHs values of the lung. The predicted DVHs values were compared with the actual planned results. Results: The mean squared errors of external validation for the 10 cases in mean lung dose (MLD)MLD and V₂₀ of the lung were 91.95 cGy and 3.12%, respectively. Two cases whose lung doses were higher than the predicted values were re-planned, and the results showed that the the lung doses were reduced. Conclusion It is feasible to utilize the anatomy and beam angle features to predict the lung DVH parameters for plan evaluation and quality assurance in early stage NSCLC patients treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy

Objective:To study the effect of the injected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) on rats with pulmonary fibrosis induced by paraquat (PQ) during different poisoning periods and explore the potential mechanism.Methods:From October to December 2018, BMSCs of SPF SD rats were isolated and purified by whole-bone marrow adherent culture method and cultured to the Third Generation (P3) . The surface antigens CD29, CD90, CD45 and CD34 of P3 BMSC were detected by Flow cytometry, the formation of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) , calcium nodules and fat droplets were observed by ALP, Alizarin Red staining and oil red O staining. At the same time, 36 SPF male rats were randomly divided into 6 groups: NC Group (Blank Control Group, injected with the same amount of saline) and PQ group (PQ model group, injected with 20% PQ solution 18 mg/kg intraperitoneally) , bMSC-A group, BMSC-B group, BMSC-C group and BMSC-D group were injected with BMSC suspension 1×10 6 cells/mice at 3 h、3 d、7 d and 14 d after PQ poisoning. After 28 days, the rats were killed, the lung organ coefficients were calculated, the hydroxyproline (HYP) content in lung tissue was calculated by alkaline hydrolysis, and the lung injury and fibrosis were observed by HE and Masson staining, serum TGF-1、TNF-α、MMP-9 and TIMP-1 were detected by Elisa. Results:High Purity BMSCs were successfully isolated and obtained. The P3 BMSC generation was positive expression of CD29、CD90、and negative expression of CD34、CD45, and had the potential of osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation. The results of HE staining and Masson staining showed that the alveolar structure in NC group was intact and homogeneous, in PQ group, the alveolar structure was severely damaged and a lot of collagen fibers and fibroblasts were deposited, and the degrees of lung injury in each BMSC intervention group were obviously less than in PQ group, in BMSC-A group and BMSC-B group, the degrees of reduction were obvious. Compared with NC group, the Lung organ coefficient, HYP content in lung tissue and TGF-β1, TIMP-1 levels in serum were significantly higher in PQ group ( P<0.05) , while TNF-α and MMP-9 had no significant difference ( P>0.05) . Compared with PQ group, the lung organ Coefficients, HYP, TGF-1 and TIMP-β1 in BMSC-A and BMSC-B groups were lower than those in PQ group ( P<0.05) . The Lung organ coefficients, TGF-β1 and TIMP-1 in BMSC-C and BMSC-D groups were lower than those in PQ group, there was no significant difference ( P>0.05) . Conclusion:Early BMSC injecting can alleviate pulmonary fibrosis induced by PQ. The mechanism may be that BMSC can reduce pulmonary fibrosis through reducing the level of TGF-β1 and regulating the balance of TIMP-1/MMP-9, threrby reducing inflammatory damage and increasing the degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) .

Objective: To explore the relationship between dietary behavior, dietary frequency and central precocious puberty (CPP) among children in Wuhan, so as to provide a scientific basis for elucidating the possible and related dietary factors leading to precocious puberty. Methods: From February to December 2023, 100 children with CPP and 100 healthy children were collected in Wuhan Children s Hospital for a case control study. Questionnaires and interviews were used to collect demographic information, child lifestyle, as well as dietary behavior and dietary frequency in the past six months. Conditional Logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship of children s dietary behavior and dietary frequency with CPP. Results: No associations were found between three dietary behavior, including emotional eating, restrictive eating, and external eating, with CPP at baseline ( P >0.05). In the association analysis of dietary frequency and CPP, the risk of CPP was higher in those who consumed red meat >5 times/week ( OR =1.93, 95% CI =1.01-3.68), carbonated beverages ≥4 times/month ( OR =2.70, 95% CI =1.03-7.08), fruit juices ≥4 times/month ( OR =2.31, 95% CI =1.02-5.25), and nutritional supplementation ( OR =2.77, 95% CI =1.47- 5.22 ), whereas the risk of CPP was lower in those who consumed nuts ≥4 times/month ( OR =0.21, 95% CI =0.08-0.57) ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion Consumption of higher amounts of red meat, high frequency of carbonated and juice based sugary drinks, and nutrient supplementation may be contributing factors to the development of CPP, whereas regular consumption of nuts is less likely to be associated with the development of CPP.
