Objective:To develop a new type of detection window protective device for surface contamination monitor,and to verify its testing effect.Methods:The new type of surface contamination monitor detection window protection device was composed of the protective film and fixed frame,which was of integrated design and one-off production.The protective film was made of transparent flat Myra film,thickness≤2.5μm,the fixed frame was a rectangular hollow structure surrounded by four edges and provided with a working surface and a mounting surface.The protective film was pasted on the inner wall of the working surface of the fixed frame by adhesive,and the protective film and fixed frame were installed on the outside of the detection window of the surface contamination monitor by means of fixing buckles.Two commonly used surface contamination detection instruments,RDa150 and Como170,were selected to measure artificial radiation sources under three protection states:no film protection,plastic wrap protection and new protection device to test the detection efficiency and operability of the new surface contamination monitor's detection window protection device.Results:Compared with the traditional protective measures of plastic wrap,the detection efficiency of α,β and γ rays was more effectively ensured by the new detection window protective device for surface contamination monitor,and the detection efficiency of α rays was increased from about 40%to about 70%.Conclusion:The new detection window protection device for surface contamination monitor can significantly improve the detection efficiency of radioactive contamination,especially alpha-ray pollution,and effectively protect the instrument and equipment,and effectively improve the detection efficiency of surface contamination detection operators.

Objective To investigate the effect of colquhounia root tablet(CRT)on hyperglucose-in-duced epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)in renal tubular epithelial cells(HK-2),and to explore its possible action mechanism.Methods HK-2 was cultured in vitro,and HK-2 was divided into the following five groups:control group(CON group),hyperosmolar group(MA group),high glucose group(HG group),high sugar+CRT group(HG+CRT group),high sugar+phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase inhibitor group(HG+LY29400 group),high sugar+CRT+phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase inhibitor group(HG+CRT+LY29400).The real time immunofluorescence quantitative PCR(qPCR)was used to detect the mRNA ex-pression levels of E-cadherin,α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA)and phosphatase and tensin homolog(PTEN)in each group.Western-blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of PTEN,phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase(PI3K),protein kinase B(Akt),phosphorylated protein kinase B(p-Akt),E-cadherin and α-SMA in each group.Results Compared with the CON group,the protein and mRNA expression levels of α-SMA,p-Akt protein expression level and p-Akt/Akt ratio in the HG group were increased,the protein and mRNA ex-pression levels of E-cadherin and PTEN were decreased,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Compared with the HG group,the α-SMA protein and mRNA expression levels in the HG+CRT group were decreased,while the E-cadherin protein and mRNA expression levels were increased,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Compared with the HG+CRT group,there was no significant differ-ence in the E cadherin,α SMA,PTEN,P13K and Akt protein expression levels and p-Akt/Akt ratio in the HG+CRT+LY29400 group had no significant differences(P＞0.05).while the expression level of p-Akt protein was increased,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion In vitro,CRT could re-verse hyperglucose-induced renal tubular epithelial cell EMT via the PTEN/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Objective To study the changes of serum metabolites in the patients with chronic kidney disease osteoporosis(CKD-OP)to provide the new biomarkers for the early diagnosis of CKD-OP.Methods A total of 22 patients with definitely diagnosed CKD visiting in this hospital from April to Novem-ber 2023 were selected as the study subjects,and 22 subjects with physical examination in this hospital at the same period were included for conducting the control study.With the lumbar vertebral T value ≤-2.5 as the standard,the subjects were divided into the CKD-OP group(n=11),CKD non-OP group(CKD-NOP group,n=11),simple osteoporosis group(OP group,n=11)and healthy control group(NC group,n=11).The liq-uid chromatography-mass spectrometry(LC-MS)coupling technique was used to analyze the differences in se-rum metabolites among the four groups,the potential biomarkers of CKD-OP was screened,and the correla-tion between the potential biomarkers with lumbar vertebra bone mineral density(BMD),serum bone-derived alkaline phosphatase(BALP)and serum tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-5b(TRACP-5b)was studied.Re-sults With the receiver's operating characteristic(ROC)curve's area under curve(AUC)＞0.9 as the con-dition,and four potential biomarkers of CKD-OP were screened,which were phosphorylcholine,lysophosphati-dylcholine(18∶2/0∶0),capric acid,and allantoin respectively.Serum phosphorylcholine was positively corre-lated with lumbar vertebra BMD(r=0.601,P＜0.05)and negatively correlated with serum BALP and TRACP-5b(r=-0.729,-0.623,P＜0.05).Serum allantoin was positively correlated with lumbar vertebra BMD(r=0.483,P＜0.05)and negatively correlated with serum BALB(r=-0.494,P＜0.05).Serum lyso-phosphatidylcholine(18∶2/0∶0)was positively correlated with lumbar vertebra BMD(r=0.640,P＜0.05),and negatively correlated with serum BALP and TRACP-5b(r=-0.628,-0.548,P＜0.05).Serum capric acid was negatively correlated with lumbar vertebra BMD(r=-0.444,P＜0.05)and positively corre-lated with serum BALB(r=0.587,P＜0.05).Conclusion The screened four endogenous potential biomarkers provide the new research ideas for the early diagnosis and treatment efficacy monitoring of CKD-OP.
