Hydrogen sulfide ameliorates high glucose-induced endothelial cell senescence by suppressing oxidative stress

AIM：To explore the effect of hydrogen sulfide on the senescence of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) induced by high glucose. METHODS：Senescence model was established by treating HUVECs with 33 mmol/L glucose for 48 h. The parameters were detected to demonstrate the effect of hydrogen sulfide on senescence and the mechanism involved was also investigated. RESULTS：In the cells treated with high glucose, the proliferation was attenuated with a higher number of senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) positive cells, and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) protein expression, malondialdehyde (MDA) production and NF-κB p65 activity were increased significantly, but the expression of superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) was decreased. However, the cell number and SOD1 expression were increased, and the number of SA-β-Gal positive cells, PAI-1 protein expression, MDA production and the activity of NF-κB p65 were decreased after sodium hydrosulfide (100 and 200 μmol/L) treatment.CONCLUSION：Exo-genous hydrogen sulfide prevents HUVECs against high glucose-induced senescence by suppressing oxidative stress and NF-κB p65 activity.     

Expression of TMEM16A as a calcium-activated chloride channel in Fischer rat thyroid follicular epithelial cells and its electrophysiologic pro-perties

AIM：To investigate the expression of transmembrane protein 16A(TMEM16A) in Fischer rat thyroid follicular epithelial (FRT) cells and its electrophysiologic properties. METHODS：The eukaryotic expression vector of pUB6/V5-TMEM16A was constructed and transfected into FRT cells by liposome-mediated transfection. In order to obtain the high efficiency of gene transfection and expression, the quantity and ratio of lipid/DNA complexes were optimized. The FRT cells stably expressing TMEM16A were gained by the selection with blasticidin and confirmed by the techniques of RT-PCR and immunofluorescence. The expression and location of TMEM16A in the FRT cells were observed under an inverted fluorescence microscope. TMEM16A protein was associated with calcium-dependent chloride current, as measured with halide-sensitive fluorescent protein and patch-clamp technique. RESULTS：The results of double digestion and sequencing indicated that TMEM16A was cloned into pUB6/V5. The results of RT-PCR and immunofluorescence confirmed that TMEM16A was expressed in the FRT cells after transfection with TMEM16A. The classical calcium-activated chloride channel currents were recorded in the FRT cells stably expressing TMEM16A by the technique of patch-clamp and halide-sensitive fluorescent protein YFP-H148Q/I152L. CONCLUSION：The protein expression of TMEM16A in the FRT cells was observed. TMEM16A is the molecular identity of calcium-activated chloride channels.

多污染源混合废水对鱼类呼吸的影响

鸭绿江发源于长白山天池,流长795公里,经丹东一新义州入黄海,是中朝两国的界河。丹东市区段的鸭绿江,近年由于工业的迅猛发展而带来了江水的严重污染,致使鱼类大幅度减产。 水工作的目的是探索鸭绿江下游鱼类种群、数量变动的主要原因,为恢复鸭绿江下游渔业生产提供     

重金属镉胁迫对大弹涂鱼肝脏黄嘌呤氧化酶活性的影响

研究了在重金属镉胁迫条件下,大弹涂鱼(Boleophthalmuspectinirostris)肝脏黄嘌呤氧化酶活性的变化。重金属镉胁迫12h时0·5mg/LCd2 组XOD酶活性和对照组比较显著升高(P<0·05);胁迫24h时,大弹涂鱼0·05mg/LCd2 组肝脏的XOD酶活性和对照组比较极显著升高(P<0·01),而0·5mg/LCd2 组酶活性结果却降低;恢复3d时0·5mg/LCd2 又极显著升高(P<0·01)。在镉胁迫解除5d时,3个浓度组的酶活性均极显著降低(P<0·01),其中0·05mg/LCd2 组和0·5mg/LCd2 组的酶活性和对照组酶活性比较无显著差异(P>0·05),5mg/LCd2 组的酶活性极显著低于对照组的酶活性(P<0·01)。实验结果表明,大弹涂鱼肝脏黄嘌呤氧化酶活性对水体中镉污染敏感,有可能用做海洋环境污染的生物标记。

Wear minimization of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene by benzophenone-assisted photocrosslinking

Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) containing benzophenone (BP) is photocrosslinked under continuous UV irradiation. BP addition as low as 0.77 mol% per repeating unit of UHMWPE is enough to increase the gel fraction up to 99.8 %. The crosslinks are formed through the recombination of methine radicals generated from the hydrogen abstraction of UHMWPE by the excited BP. The heat of fusion of UHMWPE reduces substantially and the peak decomposition temperature increases as much as 15.8 oC due to the crosslinked network, coupled with slight decrease in crystallinity. The tensile strength, modulus and toughness of the crosslinked UHMWPE film are significantly improved with increasing crosslinking density. The wear rate of the UHMWPE also remarkably decreases from 10.2 mg/million cycles to 1.9 mg/million cycles, which can minimize the wear of total hip joint anthroplasty bearings.
