METHODS: Esophageal carcinoma cell lines Eca109 and TE13 were cultured under hypoxia environment, and the protein, m RNA and activity levels of hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha(HIF-1α), glucose transporter 1, hexokinase-Ⅱ, phosphofructokinase 2 and lactate dehydrogenase-A were determined. Supernatant lactic acid concentrations were also detected. The PI3K/AKT signaling pathway was then inhibited with wortmannin, and the effects of hypoxia on the expression or activities of HIF-1α, associated glycolytic enzymes and lactic acid concentrations were observed. Esophageal carcinoma cells were then transfected with interference plasmid with HIF-1α-targeting si RNA to assess impact of the high expression of HIF-1α on glycolysis.RESULTS: HIF-1α is highly expressed in the esophageal carcinoma cell lines tested, and with decreasing levels of oxygen, the expression of HIF-1α and the associated glycolytic enzymes and the extracellular lactic acid concentration were enhanced in the esophageal carcinoma cell lines Eca109 and TE13. In both normoxia and hypoxic conditions, the level of glycolytic enzymesand the secretion of lactic acid were both reduced by wortmannin. The expression and activities of glycolytic enzymes and the lactic acid concentration in cells were reduced by inhibiting HIF-1α, especially the decreasing level of glycolysis was significant under hypoxic conditions.CONCLUSION: The PI3K/AKT pathway and HIF-1α are both involved in the process of glycolysis in esophageal cancer cells.展开更多

文摘Purpose:This study aims to elucidate the electrotaxis response of alveolar epithelial cells(AECs)in direct-current electric fields(EFs),explore the impact of EFs on the cell fate of AECs,and lay the foundation for future exploitation of EFs for the treatment of acute lung injury.Methods:AECs were extracted from rat lung tissues using magnetic-activated cell sorting.To elucidate the electrotaxis responses of AECs,different voltages of EFs(0,50,100,and 200 mV/mm)were applied to two types of AECs,respectively.Cell migrations were recorded and trajectories were pooled to better demonstrate cellular activities through graphs.Cell directionality was calculated as the cosine value of the angle formed by the EF vector and cell migration.To further demonstrate the impact of EFs on the pulmonary tissue,the human bronchial epithelial cells transformed with Ad12-SV402B(BEAS-2B cells)were obtained and experimented under the same conditions as AECs.To determine the influence on cell fate,cells underwent electric stimulation were collected to perform Western blot analysis.Results:The successful separation and culturing of AECs were confirmed through immunofluorescence staining.Compared with the control,AECs in EFs demonstrated a significant directionality in a voltage-dependent way.In general,type I alveolar epithelial cells migrated faster than type II alveolar epithelial cells,and under EFs,these two types of cells exhibited different response threshold.For type II alveolar epithelial cells,only EFs at 200 mV/mm resulted a significant difference to the velocity,whereas for,EFs at both 100 mV/mm and 200 mV/mm gave rise to a significant difference.Western blotting suggested that EFs led to an increased expression of a AKT and myeloid leukemia 1 and a decreased expression of Bcl-2-associated X protein and Bcl-2-like protein 11.Conclusion:EFs could guide and accelerate the directional migration of AECs and exert antiapoptotic effects,which indicated that EFs are important biophysical signals in the re-epithelialization of alveolar epithelium in lung injury.

文摘Purpose:To establish a severe blast lung injury model of goats and investigate the feasibility of lung ultrasonic score in the evaluation of blast lung injury.Methods:Twenty female healthy goats were randomly divided into three groups by different driving pressures:4.0 MPa group(n=4),4.5 MPa group(n=12)and 5.0 MPa group(n=4).The severe blast lung injury model of goats was established using a BST-I bio-shock tube.Vital signs(respiration,heart rate and blood pressure),lung ultrasound score(LUS),PO2/FiO2 and extravascular lung water(EVLW)were measured before injury(0 h)and at 0.5 h,3 h,6 h,9 h,12 h after injury.Computed tomography scan was performed before injury(0 h)and at 12 h after injury for dynamic monitoring of blast lung injury and measurement of lung volume.The correlation of LUS with PaO2/FiO2,EVLW,and lung injury ratio(lesion volume/total lung volume*100%)was analyzed.All animals were sacrificed at 12 h after injury for gross observation of lung injury and histopathological examination.Statistical analysis was performed by the SPSS 22.0 software.The measurement data were expressed as mean±standard deviation.The means of two samples were compared using independent-sample t-test.Pearson correlation analysis was conducted.Results:(1)At 12 h after injury,the mortality of goats was 0,41.67% and 100%in the 4.0 Mpa,4.5 MPa and 5.0 MPa groups,respectively;the area of pulmonary hemorrhage was 20.00%±13.14% in the 4.0 Mpa group and 42.14%±15.33% in the 4.5 MPa group.A severe lung shock injury model was established under the driving pressure of 4.5 MPa.(2)The respiratory rate,heart rate,LUS and EVLW were significantly increased,while PaO2/FiO2 was significantly reduced immediately after injury,and then they gradually recovered and became stabilized at 3 h after injury.(3)LUS was positively correlated with EVLW(3 h:r=-0.597,6 h:r=-0.698,9 h:r=-0.729;p<0.05)and lung injury ratio(12 h:r=-0.884,p<0.05),negatively correlated with PaO2/FiO2(3 h:r=-0.871,6 h:r=-0.637,9 h:r=-0.658;p<0.05).Conclusion:We established a severe blast lung injury model of goats using the BST-I bio-shock tube under the driving pressure of 4.5 MPa and confirmed that ultrasound can be used for quick evaluation and dynamic monitoring of blast lung injury.

文摘Slope protection has always been a major concern in highway construction and later operation.Ecological protection technology is widely used in highway slope,which takes into account functions of protection,ecology,and landscape.Ecological protection technology is mainly to improve the stability of the slope through the combination of supporting structure and plants,and vegetation restoration can reduce the negative impact of highway construction.In this paper,the latest research progress of ecological protection technology was first reviewed to identify the main construction process and types,which revealed the protection mechanism of ecological protection technology.The comprehensive benefits of ecological slope protection technology were analysed from the aspects of air,water circulation,landscape and biodiversity.It has found that ecological protection technology of highway slope mainly forms the atmosphere-plant-soil system.Ecological protection technology of highway slope improved the stability of the slope through the supporting structure and the anchoring effect of plant roots.And the restoration of the surface vegetation on the slope promoted the photosynthesis and transpiration of plants and purifies the air quality along the highway.Ecological protection technology of highway slope could quickly restore the ecological balance,overall landscape and biodiversity of the region.

文摘The soil-water characteristic curve(SWCC)is often used to estimate unsaturated soil properties(e.g.strength,permeability,volume change,solute and thermal diffusivity).The SWCC of soil samples is significantly affected by cyclic wetting-drying.To examine how water content and cyclic wetting-drying affect the SWCC of disintegrated carbonaceous mudstone(DCM),SWCC tests were implemented using a pressure-plate apparatus.In addition,SWCC models for DCM considering the initial gravimetric water content and cyclic wetting-drying were developed.The test results showed that the volumetric water content(θ)of the DCM first decreased rapidly and then became stable as matric suction(s)increased.The initial water content affected the SWCC by altering the pore structure of the DCM.For a given number of wetting-drying cycles,the higher the initial water content,the higher the stabilizedθ.At a given s value,θdecreased as the number of wetting-drying cycles increased,which suggests that cyclic wetting-drying reduces the water-holding capacity of DCM.The Gardner model for DCM was constructed considering initial water content and cyclic wetting-drying,and was effective at describing and predicting the SWCC model for DCM.

文摘Recently,toxin and narcotics detection techniques have been developed in China.A number of new technologies have been applied.The pretreatment technologies such as solid‑phase extraction(SPE)techniques,solid‑phase microextraction(SPME)techniques,hollow‑fiber liquid‑phase microextraction(HF‑LPME)techniques,etc.,have matured,and thus have greatly improved both the accuracy and efficiency of the analysis of toxins and narcotics as well as the technical system of analysis.Based on analyses conducted using the traditional methods of gas chromatography(GC)as well as other conventional methods,various new methods of analysis have been gradually discovered and developed.For instance,ultra‑performance liquid chromatography(UPLC)‑mass spectrometry(MS)and other combination technologies have enriched the variety of detection methods that are available to researchers.These highly precise methods are developed on the basis of and as extensions of traditional applications and still draw the attention of researchers from a variety of disciplines.

文摘Sepsis,defined as life-threatening organ failure caused by a dysregulated host response to severe infection,is a major cause of death among intensive care unit patients.Therapies targeting on immunomodulatory is a new research field in sepsis treatment.B-and T-lymphocyte attenuator(BTLA)is an inhibitory costimulatory factor molecule of B and T lymphocytes.Studies have shown that elevated expression of BTLA in lymphocytes can reduce mortality in sepsis,but its regulatory compounds and the underlying mechanism remains to be elucidated.Here,we show that treatment with CP-673451 significantly decreases mortality of septic mouse.CP-673451 is a PDGFR kinase inhibitor which can promote the expression of BTLA,inhibit the release of chemokines such as CXCL13,and reduce first the chemotaxis of B cells to the peripheral blood and vital organs.CP-673451 also inhibits both the release of cytokines and chemokines such as IL-1β,IL-6,IL-10,TNF-α,CCL1,CCL2 and CCL7 and reduces both the chemotactic ability of T cells.This suggests that CP-673451 may prevent septic death by inhibiting lymphocyte chemotaxis and alleviating“cytokine storm”.In conclusion,our study provides a new therapeutic target and an effective compound for sepsis treatment.

文摘Purpose:The incidence of acute lung injury(ALI)in severe trauma patients is 48%and the mortality rate following acute respiratory distress syndrome evolved from ALI is up to 68.5%.Alveolar epithelial type 1 cells(AEC1 s)and type 2 cells(AEC2s)are the key cells in the repair of injured lungs as well as fetal lung development.Therefore,the purification and culture of AECls and AEC2s play an important role in the research of repair and regeneration of lung tissue.Methods:Sprague-Dawley rats(3-4 weeks,120-150 g)were purchased for experiment.Dispase and DNase I were jointly used to digest lung tissue to obtain a single-cell suspension of whole lung cells,and then magnetic bead cell sorting was performed to isolate Tla positive cells as AECls from the single-cell suspension by using polyclonal rabbit anti-Tla(a specific AECls membrane protein)antibodies combined with anti-rabbit IgG microbeads.Afterwards,alveolar epithelial cell membrane marker protein EpCAM was designed as a key label to sort AEC2s from the remaining Tla-neg cells by another positive immunomagnetic selection using monoclonal mouse anti-EpCAM antibodies and anti-mouse IgG microbeads.Cell purity was identified by immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry.Resii沾••The purity of AECls and AEC2s was 88.3%±3.8%and 92.6%±2.7%,respectively.The cell growth was observed as follows:AECls stretched within the 12-16 h,but the cells proliferated slowly;while AEC2s began to stretch after 24 h and proliferated rapidly from the 2nd day and began to differentiate after 3 days.Conclusion:AECls and AEC2s sorted by this method have high purity and good viability.Therefore,our method provides a new approach for the isolation and culture of AECls and AEC2s as well as a new strategy for the research of lung repair and regeneration.
文摘Life-cycle assessment(LCA)is a methodological framework for assessing the environmental performance of products or services at all life-cycle stages,including raw materials extraction,materials processing,manufacture,use,maintenance and end-of-life.In recent years,LCA has been increasingly employed to evaluate the sustainability of subgrades,pavements and side slopes in highway engineering.This would necessarily lead to the advance of design and construction technologies of highways and the improvement of the durability of road infrastructure.

文摘2,4,6-trinitrotoluene(TNT)is a commonly used explosive.It is not only a threat to public safety but also causes environmental pollution,affecting human health.However,at this stage of TNT detection,technology cannot meet the demands of the current situation.To acquire a new method devoted to the study of fast and quantitative detection of TNT.It combines the molecular imprinting technique(MIT)with surface plasmon resonance(SPR)technology for high sensitivity.In this study,a molecularly imprinted polymer(MIP)film for the detection of TNT was synthesized by heat in acetonitrile at 60°C,using the TNT imprinting molecule and azobisisobutyronitrile(AEBN)as initiators.In the present work,there are many factors that can influence the elution efficiency,such as raw material ratios,fore-reaction time,reaction time,etc.The polymers have the highest elution efficiency when raw material mole ratios[n(TNT):n methacrylic acid(MAA):n ethylene glycol dimethylacrylate(EGDMA)]were 1:4:8;the MIP sensor could detect a TNT concentration as low as 1x10-10 M.Compared to the blank polymer with the same chemical composition,the imprinted polymer had higher binding efficiency and higher selectivity.
