Background ¹³⁷Cs in atmospheric aerosol is the product of past nuclear weapon tests and nuclear accidents. When ¹³⁷Cs is released into the atmosphere, it will deposit in dry land and marine environment, causing pollution of soil surface, water, agricultural products, and animal byproducts, and affecting public health. Objective To identify the variation pattern of ¹³⁷Cs activity concentration in aerosol and its correlation with dust concentration in Beijing area from 2017 to 2020. Methods A total of 958 aerosol samples were collected from November 1, 2017 to June 30, 2020 in Beijing with a high volume air sampler at a sampling flow rate about 600 m³·h⁻¹ and a collection time for each sample about 24 h. The activity concentration of ¹³⁷Cs in the aerosol samples was determined with a low-background high-purity germanium γ spectrometer. The dust concentration was calculated using the difference in the mass of the aerosol filter before and after sampling. The detection rate of ¹³⁷Cs and dust concentration in different seasons were compared. Spearman rank correlation test was used to analyze the correlation between ¹³⁷Cs activity concentration and dust concentration. Results From 2017 to 2020, the ¹³⁷Cs activity concentrations of 33 from 958 aerosol samples in Beijing were above the minimum detectable activityconcentration, the overall detection rate of ¹³⁷Cs was 3.4%, and the activity concentration ranged from 1.86 to 45.53 μBq·m⁻³, with a median value of 4.85 μBq·m⁻³. The detection rate of ¹³⁷Cs was highest in spring, followed by autumn, and lowest in winter and summer (8.4%, 3.0%, 1.1%, and 0.5%, respectively). The dust concentration ranged from 0.03 to 1.55 mg·m⁻³, with an average value of 0.18 mg·m⁻³. There was a statistically significant difference in the dust concentrations in spring, summer, autumn, and winter (F=45.51, P<0.05), and the highest value was 0.24 mg·m⁻³ in spring (P<0.05). The ¹³⁷Cs activity concentration was positively correlated with the dust concentration (P<0.05). Conclusion The ¹³⁷Cs activity concentration in aerosol in Beijing from 2017 to 2020 fluctuates within the range of background level, and its activity concentration is highest in spring, followed autumn, and lowest in summer and winter.

OBJECTIVE To compare the effect of four 5-hydroxytryptamine type 4 (5-HT4) receptor agonists:cisapride,zacopride,macopride and 2-[1-(4-piperonyl) piperazinyl]-benzothiazole (BZTZ),on rat cardiac inward rectifier potassium channel (IK1)and heart rhythm.METHODS The whole-cell configuration of patch-clamp technique was used to record effects of 5-HT4 receptor agonists onIk1 in enzymatic dissociated rat ventricular myocytes or Kir2.1 transfected HEK 293 cells.Western blotting was used to observe the expression of Kir2.1 channel exposed 24 h to agents in ventricular myocytes.Langendorff-perfused hearts were perfused with four agents respectively for 30 min.The electrocardiogram was recorded simultaneously.RESULTS BZTZ,cisapride and mosapride 0.1-10 μmol· L-1 decreasedIk1 in a concentrationdependent manner.At the same concentration (1 μmol· L-1),BZTZ showed the most potent inhibition onIκ1 (P＜0.01),followed by cisapride.Mosapride showed slight inhibition efficiency.However,zacopride enhanced Iκ1 (P＜0.01).In Kir2.1 heterologous expression systems,zacopride activated Kir2.1 current (P＜0.01) while mosapride had no effect.In ex vivo Langendorff-perfused hearts,BZTZ and cisapride 1μmol· L-1 elicited singnificant rhythm disturbances,and the total of premature ventricular beats (PVB) were 159±28 and 61±13.50％ (4/8) (P＜0.05) and 25％ (1/8) of the hearts exhibited ventricular tachycardia (VT),while 37.5％ (3/8) and 12.5％ (1/8) of the hearts exhibited ventricular fibrillation (VF),respectively.Mosapride and zacopride had no side effects on heart rhythm.Zacopride also suppressed BZTZ-or cisapride-induced arrhythmias.BZFZ had the strongest proarryhthmic potency among the 5-HT4 agonists,followed by cisapride,mosapride and zacopride.CONCLUSION Iκ1 might be an independent risk factor for arrhythmogenesis and a new target for screening safe 5-HT4 receptor agonists and gastrointestinal prokinetic agents.

Aim To examine the effect of zacopride,a specific inward rectifier potassium channel(IK1)agonist,on L-thyroxine(T4)-induced ventricular remodeling and the underlying mechanism.Methods SD rats were randomly divided as control,L-thyroxine(L-thy,1 mg·kg-1·d-1,ig,10 d)model,L-thy +zacopride(5,15,50 μg·kg-1,respectively,ip),L-thy+zacopride(15 μg·kg-1)+chloroquine(7.5 μg·kg-1,ip)and L-thy+captopril(100 mg·kg-1·d-1,drinking water)groups.Echocardiography and cardiac hypertrophic indexes were measured to confirm the establishment of the ventricular remodeling model.The changes of IK1 and L-calcium current(ICa-L)were detected by whole cell patch clamp technique.The confocal microscopy and fluorescent indicator Fluo-4 were applied to examine the intracellular Ca2+ concentration([Ca2+]i)of isolated adult rat ventricular myocytes.Results L-thyroxine induced left ventricular hypertrophy with increased ratio of heart weight(HW)to body weight(HW·BW-1),ratio of left ventrical weight(LVW)to body weight(LVW·BW-1),left ventricular dimension in diastole(LVIDd),left ventricular dimension in systole(LVIDs),interventricular septum thickness(IVS)and decreased ejection fraction(EF),fractional shortening(FS)(P<0.01).Patch clamp data suggested IK1 was downregulated,while ICa-L was upregulated(P<0.01).In isolated adult cardiomyocytes,L-thyroxine increased the cell area and [Ca2+]i(P<0.01).Zacopride treatment obviously alleviated cardiac remodeling,improved cardiac function,reversed the changes of IK1 and ICa-L,and significantly attenuated intracellular calcium overload(P<0.01).The optimum dose of zacopride in vivo was 15 μg·kg-1 at which the effect was compared favourably with captopril,a classical anti-remodeling agent.Low-dose IK1 atagonist chloroquine could reverse the effect of zacopride(P<0.01).Conclusion Via activating IK1,zacopride could significantly decrease Ca2+ influx and intracellular calcium overload thereby inhibiting L-thyroxine-induced cardiac ventricular remodeling.
