小剂量~(16)O~(8+)离子预辐射减轻大剂量辐射所致小鼠睾丸组织损伤(英文)

为了了解小剂量重离子辐射诱导小鼠睾丸结构的适应性反应,采用小剂量(0.05Gy)~(16)O~(8+)离子照射B6C3F_1雄性小鼠睾丸。4h后,再给予2Gy~(16)O~(8+)离子照射。照射后第35天取材在光镜下观察睾丸结构。结果显示,大剂量(2Gy)照射明显损伤睾丸组织,主要表现为曲精细管直径几乎减小一半,精管内各发育阶段的生殖细胞减少或消失,特别是精原细胞几乎完全消失。而Leydig细胞和Sertoli细胞仅有轻度核固缩及胞浆减少。提示睾丸生殖细胞的辐射敏感性明显高于其间质组织细胞。预先给予小剂量(0.05Gy)照射可明显减轻随后大剂量(2Gy)辐射对睾丸组织的损伤。提示小剂量重离子辐射可诱导小鼠睾丸结构明显的适应性反应。

Low-lying non-normal parity states in B-8 measured by proton elastic scattering on Be-7

A new measurement of proton resonance scattering on Be-7 was performed tip to the center-of-mass energy of 6.7 MeV using the low-energy RI beam facility CRIB (CNS Radioactive Ion Beam separator) at the Center for Nuclear Study of the University of Tokyo. The excitation function of Be-7 + p elastic scattering above 3.5 MeV was measured Successfully for the first time, providing important information about the resonance structure of the B-8 nucleus. The resonances are related to the reaction rate of Be-7(p.gamma)B-8. which is the key reaction in solar B-8 neutrino production. Evidence for the presence of two negative parity states is presented. One of them is a 2(-) state observed as a broad s-wave resonance, the existence of which had been questionable. Its possible effects on the determination of the astrophysical S-factor of Be-7(p.gamma)B-8 at solar energy are discussed. The other state had not been observed in previous measurements, and its spin and parity were determined as 1(-). (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Measurement of neutron-removal cross section of neutron-rich nucleus He-8 by using the transmission method

The neutron-rich nucleus He-8 is selected by RIBLL from the breakup of 50MeV/u C-13 on be target at HIRFL. The 2n-removal and 4n-removal cross section of He-8 was measured by using the transmission method. The point that He-4 is He-8 core can be reduced from the experiment data via the Ogawa's theory.

8种花卉植物种子萌发对石油烃污染土壤的响应

石油污染土壤的植物修复技术以其处理成本低、无二次污染、自然美观等特点,正逐步成为石油污染治理研究的一个重要方向.而修复植物的筛选是植物修复技术首要解决的问题.为此以花卉植物种子发芽作为生态指示,探讨其对石油污染土壤的反应,设置了4组不同浓度的石油污染土壤处理,对8种供试花卉植物的种子发芽率进行了盆栽实验观测.结果表明:不同的花卉种子对石油污染表现出不同的耐受性,与清洁对照土壤相比,大多数花卉种子的萌发都明显受到石油烃污染的抑制,其中受石油烃污染影响最严重的是二月兰(Orychophragmus violace).相比之下,4组浓度处理下硫华菊(Cosmos sulphureus)和孔雀草(Tagetes patula)具有较高的耐受性和种子发芽率,因而具有修复石油污染土壤的潜力.

Determination of urinary oxidative DNA damage marker 8-hydroxy-2 '-deoxyguanosine and the association with cigarette smoking

8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8OHdG) has been widely used as a biomarker of oxidative DNA damage in both animal models and human studies. To evaluate the effect of cigarette smoking on oxidative stress, we studied the levels of urinary 8OHdG from smokers and non-smokers and investigated the association with cigarette smoking. The urinary 8OHdG concentrations were determinated by capillary electrophoresis with end-column amprometric detection (CE-AD) after a single-step solid phase extraction (SPE), and then quantitatively expressed as a function of creatinine excretion. To increase the concentration sensitivity, a dynamic pH junction was used and the focusing effect was obvious when using 30 mM phosphate (pH 6.50) as sample matrix. The limit of detection is 4.3 nM (signal-to-noise ratio S/N = 3). The relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) was 1.1% for peak current, and 2.3% for migration time. Based on the selected CE-AD method, it was found that the mean value of urinary 8OHdG levels in the smokers significantly higher than that in non-smokers (31.4 +/- 18.9 nM versus 14.4 +/- 7.6 nM, P = 0.0004; 23.5 +/- 21.3 mug g(-1) creatinine versus 12.6 +/- 13.2 mug g(-1) creatinine, P = 0.028).

Study of urinary 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine as a biomarker of oxidative DNA damage in diabetic nephropathy patients

Increased oxidative stress induced by hyperglycemia may contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. Urinary 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) has been reported to serve as a sensitive biomarker of oxidative DNA damage and also of oxidative stress. This article studied oxidative DNA damage in patients with diabetic nephropathy and in healthy control subjects by urinary 8-OHdG evaluations. Contents of 8-OHdG in urine were analyzed by capillary electrophoresis with end-column amperometric detection (CE-AD) after a single-step solid-phase extraction (SPE). Levels of urinary 8-OHdG in diabetic nephropathy patients with macroalbuminuria was significant higher than in control subjects (5.72 +/- 6.89 mumol/mol creatinine versus 2.33 +/- 2.83 mumol/mol creatinine, P = 0.018). A significant difference of 24 h urinary 8-OHdG excretions exists between the patients with macroalbuminuria and the patients with nonnoalbuminuria (19.2 +/- 16.8 mug/24 h versus 8.1 +/- 1.7 mug/24 h, P = 0.015). There was a positive correlation between urinary excretion of 8-OHdG and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA(1)c) (r = 0.287, P = 0.022). A weak correlation exists between the levels of 8-OHdG and triglyceride (r = 0.230, P = 0.074). However, the urinary 8-OHdG contents are not correlated with blood pressure and total cholesterol. The increased excretion of urinary 8-OHdG is seen as indicating an increased systemic level of oxidative DNA damage in diabetic nephropathy patients. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
