Objective: To investigate the effects of clinical routine X-ray irradiation dose (average irradiation dose: 29.7±0.54 Gy) on the function, apoptosis, activation state and mitochondrial function of platelets during in vitro storage, so as to provide experimental evidence for optimizing platelet irradiation strategies. Methods: A paired experimental design was adopted. Platelets were collected from 12 healthy donors, and each sample was equally divided into the irradiated group and the control group (non-irradiated). All samples were stored for 5 days under standard platelet preservation conditions (22±2℃, continuous oscillation). Flow cytometry was used to detect platelet count, apoptosis rate (Annexin V+ positive rate), activation markers (CD62P, PAC-1, CD42b) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) level. Meanwhile, mitochondrial-specific probes were used to evaluate changes in mitochondrial count, membrane potential and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content. Additionally, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was employed to observe the ultrastructure of platelets, with a focus on mitochondrial morphology, platelet membrane integrity and granule distribution. Results: Within 5 days of storage, the platelet count was (841±89.16)×10
/L in the irradiated group and (824.5±92.88)×10
/L in the control group, with no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P=0.54). The apoptosis rate was (4.94±1.39) % in the irradiated group and (5.50±0.83) % in the control group, showing no significant difference (P=0.31). For activation indicators, the CD62P expression rate was (24.32±7.57) % in the irradiated group versus (25.21±8.13) % in the control group (P=0.43). The PAC-1 positive rates were (12.15±4.43) % and (11.75±3.40) % in the irradiated group and control group, respectively (P=0.44). The CD42b expression rates were (12.14±4.43) % and (11.75±3.4) % in the two groups, respectively (P=0.47). The ROS levels were (31.98±8.1) % and (30.64±5.89) % in the two groups, respectively (P=0.45). No significant differences were found in the above indicators. For mitochondrial function indicators, the mitochondrial count was (55.88±11.49) % in the irradiated group and (53.5±7.24) % in the control group (P=0.57). The ATP contents were (42.45±5.29) % and (41.58±9.50) % in the irradiated group and control group, respectively (P=0.77). The relative membrane potential values were (59.53±10.89) % and (57.49±6.54) % in the two groups, respectively (P=0.47). No significant difference were observed on the mitochondrial function-related indicators. TEM further confirmed that the ultrastructure of platelets in the irradiation group was intact, the mitochondrial morphology was normal, and no pathological changes such as swelling or vacuolization were observed. Conclusion: This study evaluated the impact of conventional-dose X-ray irradiation on platelet storage quality, confirming that this dose does not significant impair platelet count, apoptosis rate, activation status, or mitochondrial function. This finding provides important experimental evidence for the clinical promotion of X-ray irradiation technology and suggests its potential as a safe alternative to γ irradiation. Future studies could further expand the sample size and extend the observation period to verify the effects of X-ray irradiation on long-term platelet storage and post-transfusion in vivo survival rate.

OBJECTIVE:To prepare supersaturated system of lip ophilic aci clovir(ACV)prodrug,and to increase the cutaneous bioavailability of ACV. METHODS :Three prodrugs of ACV were synthesized by anhydride acylation ,i.e. aciclovir acetate (ACV-Ace),butyrate(ACV-But)and hexanoate (ACV-Hex). The structures of ACV and three ACV prodrugs were confirmed by 1H-NMR and HRESI-MS ;the concentrations of ACV and three ACV prodrugs were determined by UPLC-triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry ,and saturated solubility of them in different volume fractions of propylene glycol-water solution was calculated. The compound with the greatest potential of form supersaturated system was screened out. The supersaturated system of that compound was prepared by co-solvent method. The effect of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose E 3 (HPMC E 3) on its physical stability was observed by light microscope. Vertical Franz diffusion cells were used to study the effects of degree of supersaturation (DS)and HPMC E 3 on the deposited amount of drug in the excised porcine skin after using the supersaturated system for 1 h. The distribution of ACV in the excised porcine skin was determined by frozen slicing stratified quantitative method after using the supersaturated system and marketed aciclovir cream for 1 h. RESULTS :Three ACV prodrugs were successfully synthesized. The established quantification methods met the requirements of biological sample analysis. Among all of the three ACV prodrugs , ACV-Hex showed the lowest saturated solubility in water [ (0.5±0.0)mmol/L] a nd the highest saturated solubility in propylene glycol [(53.4 ± 14.2)mmol/L],which made it potentially feasible to form supersaturated system with high DS. In 10%propylene glycol-water system ,the addition of HPMC E 3 163.com enabled ACV-Hex supersaturated systems ,with DS no morethan 4,to maintain physical stability within 1 h. The total deposited amount (ACV + ACV-Hex ) in skin after the application of ACV-Hex supersaturated system with DS of 4 for 1 h was higher than that after the application of ACV-Hex supersaturated system with DS less than 4 or without HPMC E 3. In addition ,the concentration of ACV in the basal epidermis (skin thickness was 100-160 mm)by supersaturated system was significantly higher than that of the marketed aciclovir cream (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:ACV-Hex,the lipophilic prodrug of ACV ,can form stable supersaturated system with DS of 4 in 10% propylene glycol-water system in the presence of HPMC E 3. High concentration of ACV could be accumulated in the basal epidermis after the skin was exposed to supersaturated system for 1 h,which may be valuable for local treatment skin infection of herpes simplex virus .

Objective To determine the expression level of MicroRNA-15b in premenopausal endometrial carcinoma and analyze its relationship with pathological parameters. Methods From March 2016 to June 2018, 64 cases of premenopausal endometrial carcinoma tissues and 28 cases of premenopausal normal endometrial tissues that were surgically resected and examined in Shaanxi People′s Hospital were collected. The expression of microrna- 15b was detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr), and the relationship between the expression level of microrna-15b and the pathological parameters of premenopausal endometrial carcinoma was analyzed. Results The relative expression level of microrna-15b in premenopausal endometrial cancer (1.38 ± 0.28) was lower than that in normal endometrial tissue (2.55 ± 0.36), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). MicroRNA-15b expression level in premenopausal endometrial carcinoma tissue of Ⅲ period, infiltration depth 1/2 or more muscle layer, lymph node metastasis, ER negative and negative PR was significantly lower than that of stage Ⅰ ~ Ⅱ, < 1/2 muscularis infiltration depth, no lymph node metastasis, and positive ER and PR(P < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the expression level of microrna-15b in premenopausal endometrial cancer tissues with different ages, pathological types and pathological grades (P>0.05). Conclusions The expression of MicroRNA-15b in premenopausal endometrial carcinoma is low, and it is closely related to pathological stage, depth of invasion, lymph node metastasis and hormone receptor. Up-regulation of microRNA-15b expression may become a new treatment direction for premenopausal endometrial cancer.
