Objective To investigate the mechanism of fractionated low-dose ionizing radiation (LDIR) in the induction of EA.hy926 cell senescence. Methods EA.hy926 cells were irradiated with X-ray at 0, 50, 100, and 200 mGy × 4, respectively, and cultured for 24, 48, and 72 h. Several indicators were measured, including the levels of cellular senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) staining, mRNA levels of senescence-associated cell cycle protein-dependent kinase inhibitor genes CDKN1A and CDKN2A, reactive oxygen species (ROS), total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), and phosphorylated H2A histone family member X (γ-H2AX). Results After 4 fractionated LDIR, compared with the control group, the treatment groups showed increased nucleus area, blurred cell edge, and increased SA-β-gal positive area (P < 0.05) at 24, 48 and 72 h. After 4 fractionated LDIR, the mRNA level of CDKN1A increased in the 100 and 200 mGy × 4 groups at 24 and 48 h (P < 0.05), and CDKN2A mRNA level increased in the 100 and 200 mGy × 4 groups at 48 and 72 h (P < 0.05). The fluorescence intensity of ROS increased in treatment groups at 24, 48, and 72 h after 4 fractionated LDIR (P < 0.05). After 4 fractionated LDIR, the T-AOC level increased in the 100 and 200 mGy × 4 groups at 24 h (P < 0.05), and T-AOC level increased in all treatment groups at 48 and 72 h (P < 0.05). After 4 fractionated LDIR, γ-H2AX fluorescence intensity increased in all treatment groups at 24 h (P < 0.05), and the fluorescence intensity increased in the 100 and 200 mGy × 4 groups at 48 and 72 h (P < 0.05). Conclusion Fractionated LDIR can induce cellular senescence in EA.hy926 cells by impacting the cellular oxidation-antioxidation and oxidative damage levels, and the effects were relatively evident at 100 and 200 mGy.

Objective To investigate the effect of imatinib on the growth of A549 non-small cell lung cancer transplanted tumors and the expression of PDGFB and PDGFRβ proteins in tumor tissues and stroma in nude mice and to explore the underlying tumor suppression mechanism. Methods A transplantation tumor model of A549 non-small cell lung cancer was established in nude mice. The mice were then randomly divided into four groups: control group (0.9%NaCl), low-dose imatinib group (50 mg/(kg·d)), medium-dose imatinib group (100 mg/(kg·d)), and high-dose imatinib group (200 mg/(kg·d)). The effect of different concentrations of imatinib administered by continuous gavage on tumor growth was observed for 28 days. HE staining was performed to observe the pathological changes of tumor tissues. The expression of PDGF/PDGFR pathway-related proteins and the phosphorylation levels of AKT and ERK1/2 proteins in tumor tissues were detected by Western blot analysis. Double immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the expression of PDGFB and PDGFRβ proteins in the tumor stroma. Results Imatinib inhibited the growth of A549 non-small cell lung cancer cells in nude mice, suppressed the expression of PDGFB in tumor tissues, and decreased the phosphorylation levels of PDGFRβ, AKT, and ERK1/2. The expression of PDGFB and PDGFRβ in tumor stromal fibroblasts of the administered group was significantly lower than that of the control group. Conclusion Imatinib exhibits a pronounced inhibitory effect on A549 xenografts of nude mice with non-small cell lung cancer, and its antitumor mechanism may involve the downregulation of PDGFB and PDGFRβ expression in tumor stromal fibroblasts.

Objective To explore the effects of self-management intervention under the self-efficacy theory on 7-14 years old children with asthma. Methods In this prospective study, totally 201 pediatric patients with asthma treated in Tangshan Maternal & Child Health Care Hospital from April 2016 to April 2018 were selected and divided into managed (n=42) and control (n=42) groups according to the random number table. Patients in the control group received conventional care according to the recommendations under Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA), while patients in the managed group received self-management intervention under the self-efficacy theory on this basis for 6 months. The frequency of asthma and emergency treatment during the intervention period was calculated, and the control of asthma and pulmonary function within 1 year after intervention was evaluated. Exercise of Self-care Agency Scale (ESCA) and Chronic Disease Resilience Scale for Children (CDRSC) were used to assess the self-care agency and psychological resilience of the two groups before and after intervention. Results Compared with the control group, the average frequency of asthma and emergency treatment was reduced in the managed group during the intervention period. The proportion of patients whose asthma was partially or fully controlled within 1 year after intervention increased, and there was statistically significant difference between the two groups (P< 0.05). Daytime and nighttime symptom scores and pulmonary function were ameliorated in both groups after intervention. The improvement effects were better in the managed group than in the control group, and there was statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). The scores of self-concept, self-care responsibility, self-care skill and health knowledge in ESCA and the scores of personalities, coping style and interpersonal relationship in CDRSC increased in both groups after intervention. The scores of the managed group were higher than those of the control group, and there was statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusions Self-management intervention under the self-efficacy theory can effectively improve the self-care agency and psychological resilience in 7-14 years old children with asthma, thus reducing the incidence of asthma and emergency treatment and improving the recovery of pulmonary function.

Objective To study the expression of plasma oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) in children with acute phase Kawasaki disease (KD), and investigate its value for early prediction of coronary artery lesions in KD. Methods Totally 80 children with KD were collected. Children were divided into four groups by the results of echocardiogram of coronary artery in different periods: CAL1 group (children with coronary artery lesions (CAL+) both in acute and sub-acute phase, 8 cases), CAL2 group (children with CAL+in acute phase but recovery normal (CAL-) in sub-acute phase, 10 cases), NCAL1 group (children with CAL-in acute phase but occur CAL+ in sub-acute phase, 10 cases) and NCAL2 group (children with CAL- both in acute and sub-acute phase, 52 cases). The serum samples (before the use of intravenous immunoglobulin) were collected in acute phase. Twenty healthy controls and twenty fever controls were enrolled into the study, and their serum samples were collected. OxLDL was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). They were compared using ANOVA, pairwise comparison LSD-t test. And ROC curve analysis was used to determine the threshold. Results Compared with the control groups,plasma oxLDL levels were higher in children with KD, both CA+and CAL-[(15.0±3.3) mU/L, (12.3±3.5) mU/L vs (9.2±2.2) mU/L, (8.0±2.3) mU/L, F=20.435, P<0.05]. Plasma oxLDL levels were increased more significantly in children with CAL+ than children with CAL- in KD [(15.0 ±3.3) mU/L vs (12.3 ±3.5) mU/L, t=2.28, P=0.002]. There was significant difference in the concentration of oxLDL between the groups of Kawasaki disease (F=5.068, P=0.003). Plasma oxLDL levels were significantly higher in the NCAL1 group than those in the NCAL2 group [(14.5 ±3.8) mU/L vs (11.9±3.3) mU/L, t=2.29, P=0.02], but there were no statistically significant difference between the NCAL1 group and CAL1 or CAL2 group [(14.5±3.8) mU/L vs (15.9±3.9) mU/L, (14.5±3.8) mU/L vs (14.2±2.7) mU/L, t=0.73, 0.20;P=0.41, 0.84]. ROCs analysis indicated that oxLDL≥13.83 mU/L, could be the threshold for the prediction of coronary artery lesions with the sensitivity of 0.607 and a specificity of 0.75. Conclusion OxLDL plays an important role in coronary artery lesions in KD. The coronary endothelial dysfunction is earlier than coronary dilatation, and oxLDL is expected to become a reliable early predictor of coronary artery lesions in KD.
