A study was undertaken to examine the functional activity of the synthetic apparatus of rat blood lymphocytes by fluorescence microspectroscopy and the metabolic indices of the animals during the use of the herbal product Soma in normalcy and in acute x-irradiation. It was shown that Soma in normalcy caused a reliable increase in the synthetic activity of the cells with respect to the reference value on the 13th and 20th days of administration. Prior use of Soma for a month with subsequent pause increased the radioresistance of the animal organism (scheme 1), whereas the use of Soma immediately after irradiation (scheme 2) had no appreciable radioprotective effect. The study showed the effect of Soma on enhancement of metabolism, which may play an important role in restoration of the homeostasis of the organism. The results obtained suggest the expediency of further investigation of the radioprotective properties of Soma using various concentrations and administration schemes. 相似文献

PurposeThe radioprotective effects of Dragon's blood (DB) and its extracts (DBE) were investigated using the chromosomal aberrant test, micronucleus and oxidative stress assay for anti-clastogenic and anti-oxidative activity.Materials and methodsAdult BALB/C mice were exposed to the whole body irradiation with 4 Gy 60Co γ-rays. DB and DBE were administered orally once a day from 5 days prior to irradiation treatment to 1 day after irradiation. The mice were sacrificed on 24 h after irradiation. The cells of bone marrow were measured by counting different types of chromosomal aberrations and the frequency of micronuclei. Oxidative stress response was carried out by analysis of serum from blood.ResultsDB and DBE significantly decreased the number of bone marrow cells with chromosome aberrations after irradiation with respect to irradiated alone group. The administration of DB and DBE also significantly reduced the frequencies of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (MPCE) and micronucleated normochromatic erythrocytes (MNCE). In addition, DB and DBE markedly increased the activity of antioxidant enzymes and the level of antioxidant molecular. Malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) levels in serum were significantly reduced by DB and DBE treatment.ConclusionsOur data suggested that DB and DBE have potential radioprotective properties in mouse bone marrow after 60Co γ-ray exposure, which support their candidature as a potential radioprotective agent. 相似文献

The influence of chitosan molecular mass (70, 10 and 5 kDa) on its radioprotective efficiency in mice experiments was studied. It was shown that chitosans with molecular masses of 70 and 10 kDa had similar radioprotective properties. The survival of mice increased up to 73% and 87% respectively at intravenous injection 15-30 min before a whole-body exposure to 137Cs gamma-radiation at a dose of 8 Gy (Cd97/30). Practically absolute loss of radioprotective activity occurred below a threshold of about 10 kDa. The results showed a high chitosan radioprotective activity in a wider range of molecular masses than it was supposed earlier. 相似文献

A study was made of the influence of binding of endogenous nonprotein thiols (glutathione, GSH) by N-ethylmaleimide before or after irradiation (7 Gy) of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells on the radioprotective effect of anoxia (argon, 0.003% O2). It was shown that the radioprotective effect of anoxia decreased as cell glutathione was removed before or after irradiation (similarly both immediately and 1 h after irradiation). Inspite of the fact that the GSH level decreased similarly before and after irradiation the radioprotective effect of anoxia was less pronounced in the latter case. The data obtained permit to evaluate quantitatively the contribution of endogenous GSH to the processes occurring at the time of irradiation and during the post-irradiation period. 相似文献

Monoamine oxidase (MAO) plays an important role in the metabolism of neuro-transmitter biogenic amines. Its activity was determined in mouse brain and liver after exposure to different kinds of ionizing radiation and after pretreatment with a radioprotective agent. After a lethal dose of mixed neutron-gamma irradiation the MAO activity decreased in the brain and increased in the liver. In contrast, after a lethal dose of 60Co-gamma irradiation enzyme activity was considerably increased in the brain while in the liver it increased like after mixed neutron-gamma irradiation. AET (S2-aminoethyl-isothiuronium-Br X HBr), when administered in a radio-protective dose, inhibited MAO activity in the brain, while it increased in the liver. Even more marked changes of enzyme activity were observed in both brain and liver after AET pretreatment and mixed neutron-gamma irradiation. On the basis of the results it is suggested that different kinds of ionizing radiation lead to different types of lipid peroxidation in the lipid environment surrounding MAO, an event leading to altered enzyme activity. AET itself inhibited MAO in the brain and increased the activity in the liver but did not prevent the alterations caused by ionizing radiation in enzyme activity. 相似文献

The effect of different chemical compounds on the cAMP/cGMP ratio in the bone marrow of mice and radioresistance of animals has been studied. It has been shown that all compounds possessing radioprotective properties give rise to the cAMP/cGMP ratio in the bone marrow of mice. No changes in cAMP and cGMP level were noted after the administration of nonradioprotective substances. The maximal radioprotective effect coincide in time with the largest increase of the cAMP/cGMP ratio. The injection of radioprotectors at different doses demonstrate clearly that only at radioprotective doses the increase in the cAMP/cGMP ratio takes place. The administration of some substances 2, 15 and 60 min after the irradiation of mice shows that the radioprotective effect, though modest, was evident only in one case of elevated cAMP/cGMP ratio (the injection of 2-Mercaptoethylamine 2 min after the irradiation). Evident radioprotective effect occurs at the cAMP/cGMP ratio of about 170-200%; the ratio of about 130-140% corresponds to small radioprotection. 相似文献

In experiments with mongrel mice, a study was made of the pharmacological activity of serotonin and its O-alkyl derivatives. It was estimated by the two indices, that is, the radioprotective properties and the influence on a local blood channel in the spleen, the modifying effect of the agents' toxicity being estimated as well. As an O-alkyl group of 5-alkoxytryptamines was elongated from one to three carbon atoms and the toxicity of the substances increased, their radioprotective effect decreased more readily than their effect on the local blood channel. The shortening of the range of the therapeutic action of the agents under study, with regard to the two pharmacological indices mentioned above, the alkyl group being lengthened, followed a logarithmic function which was more pronounced in relation to the radioprotective index (cos alpha 1/cos alpha 2 = 1.58). 相似文献

One day after the irradiation (dose 6 Gy) of mice protected by the injection of Zn-metallothionein (Zn-MT) in doze 8.6 mg/kg, 10-20 min before irradiation, then alpha-adrenomimetic indraline (150 mg/kg) 5-10 min before irradiation the increase in nucleic cell number, [3H] thymidine incorporation, and antioxidant activity in bone marrow in comparison with the control and indraline per se was revealed. In mice protected according to the scheme: Zn-MT in the same doze, then indraline (100 mg/kg) one day after, and then in 5-10 min exposure to 6 Gy it was found more than 9 times increase of endogeneous CFC in spleen on 8th day while indraline per se raised CFC number only 4.8 times. It was found that Zn-MT reduce the indraline acute toxicity. The data on radioprotective activity of monomeric and polymeric Zn-MT forms are submitted. 相似文献

In experiments on mice a study was made of different substituents in the 4th position of the indole ring of 5-methoxytryptamines (5-MOT) on toxicity and radioprotective efficiency of the compounds of this class. It was shown that the administration of the amino-group to a mexamine molecule increased the preparation toxicity; the nitro-group somewhat diminished the toxic properties, and the acetylamino group did not change 5-MOT toxicity. A 5-MOT derivative with a nitro group possessed the strongest radioprotective action. The radioprotective efficiency of these compounds persisted for 1-2 h. 相似文献

On March 11, 2011, Japan’s northeast Pacific coast was hit by a gigantic earthquake and subsequent tsunami. Soma City in Fukushima Prefecture is situated approximately 44 km north of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Soma General Hospital is the only hospital in Soma City that provides full-time otolaryngological medical care. We investigated the changes in new patients from one year before to three years after the disaster. We investigated 18,167 new patients treated at our department during the four years from April 1, 2010 to March 31, 2014. Of the new patients, we categorized the diagnoses into Meniere’s disease, acute low-tone sensorineural hearing loss, vertigo, sudden deafness, tinnitus, and facial palsy as neuro-otologic symptoms. We also investigated the changes in the numbers of patients whom we examined at that time concerning other otolaryngological disorders, including epistaxis, infectious diseases of the laryngopharynx, and allergic rhinitis. The total number of new patients did not change remarkably on a year-to-year basis. Conversely, cases of vertigo, Meniere’s disease, and acute low-tone sensorineural hearing loss increased in number immediately after the disaster, reaching a plateau in the second year and slightly decreasing in the third year. Specifically, 4.8% of patients suffering from these neuro-otologic diseases had complications from depression and other mental diseases. With regard to new patients in our department, there was no apparent increase in the number of patients suffering from diseases other than neuro-otologic diseases, including epistaxis, and allergic rhinitis. Patients suffering from vertigo and/or dizziness increased during the first few years after the disaster. These results are attributed to the continuing stress and tension of the inhabitants. This investigation of those living in the disaster area highlights the need for long-term support. 相似文献

Appropriate pharmacological interventions and modalities are needed to protect humans against the deleterious effects of ionizing radiation. We disclose a rapid chip-based approach to elucidate the radioprotective/antioxidant potential of herbal plants using a photodiode array (PDA) microchip system. Red light absorption property of nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) formazan was applied to chip-based superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity measurements of six herbal plant extracts in a high-throughput manner. SOD activities obtained via gel-based assays were in line with the data obtained through the chip-based assay and hence validated our approach. Compared to amifostine, all the tested herbal plant extracts, except apricot kernel, demonstrated greater radioprotective properties. Among the tested herbal extracts, pueraria root showed the highest antioxidant/radioprotective activity and can be considered a preferred radioprotector candidate. Low standard deviations and high statistical confidence obtained during the assay prove the sensitivity and consistency of this approach. The developed approach has several advantages (simplicity, rapidness and portability) over existing methods and can be applied to high-throughput screening of the radioprotective properties of various unexplored plants species. 相似文献

The breathing of gas mixtures containing 8-9% O2 during irradiation of tumors has been tested at several cancer clinics (in Russia and abroad) with the purpose of decreasing the morbidity of normal issues, thus providing the possibility to increase the dose of radiation. Previous experiments have demonstrated a broad spectrum of dose modification factors (DMF) for different normal tissues as well as for different transplanted tumors, with in general larger protection of normal tissues. The present study was designed to assess the radioprotective effect for mouse kidney of breathing a gas mixture containing 8% O2 by morphometry of histological specimens. Both kidneys were locally irradiated using single fractions (11-19 Gy in air and 13-19 Gy in hypoxia) or 5 fractions separated by 24 h intervals (25-35 Gy in air and 30-40 Gy in hypoxia). Histological examination was performed 8 and 10 months after treatment. The DMF for glomeruli damage (glomerulosclerosis, ecstatic capillaries, hemorrhage) was in the range 1.25-1.29. Tubular damage showed a DMF of 1.28-1.37. Using the endpoint of development of interstitial tissue in the cortex a DMF of 1.32-1.37 was found after a single treatment, and 1.48 after fractionated irradiation. The radioprotective effect for arteriolar lesions was lower than measured using the above endpoints, namely 1.13-1.15 after single and 1.16-1.18 after fractionated irradiation. It was shown previously on groups of animals treated in the same manner that the DMF was between 1.24-1.26 when renal damage was assessed by hematocrit measurements, between 1.32-1.28 when it was evaluated by urination frequency, and 1.23-1.27 when kidney wet and dry weights were used as end-points. All these data witness that breathing 8% oxygen increases the tolerance of kidney function with a DMF above 1.2. The impact of low protection of arterioli on renal function in the late period after radiotherapy needs additional study. 相似文献

The Bowman-Birk protease inhibitor has been reported to exert photo- and radioprotective activity. This effect was assigned to a cyclic nonapeptide sequence which is known to contain the amino acids responsible for the anti-chymotryptic activity of the BBI. The present study indicated that linearization of the nonapeptide resulted in a significant loss of anti-proteolytic activity, whereas the photo- and radioprotective capacity persisted. Substitution of the amino acids Leu or Ser of the nonapeptide, essential for the anti-proteolytic activity, with different amino acids, indicated that rather the hydrophobic features of the amino acids in this position than charge are critical to retain the photo- and radioprotective effect. These results suggest the existence of a bifunctional peptide sequence with anti-proteolytic and photo-/radioprotective capacity. However, the lack of correlation between the photo-/radioprotective activity and the anti-proteolytic activity within the peptides generated by modification of the linear nonapeptide argues for the existence of two closely colocalized domains within the nonapeptide responsible for photo-/radioprotection and protease inhibition. 相似文献

The radioprotective effect of the bacterial immunomodulator Nocardia delipidated cell mitogen (NDCM) on intestinal mucosa and disaccharidase activities was studied in irradiated germ-free piglets. Three-week-old germ-free (GF) piglets were intragastrically pretreated with 1 mg NDCM per 1 kg body weight. The piglets were whole-body irradiated with 2.5 Gray five days after the NDCM pretreatment and sacrificed eight days after irradiation. In the non-irradiated group of GF piglets, NDCM application stimulated lactase activity and markedly increased sucrase activity. This stimulatory effect of NDCM disappeared after irradiation and the piglets exhibited a normal activity of lactase in the jejunal brush-border membrane vesicles, while the sucrase activity decreased to the level found in irradiated controls. NDCM-pretreated intestinal mucosa contained some infrequent lymphocytes which disappeared from the control irradiated tissue. It also exhibited less injury of the epithelium and stroma cells. 相似文献

Tie administration of mexamine leads to emigration of thymus cells levelling the radioprotective effect of the compound as determined by total cellularity of the organ. Processes of thymus cell depletion were additive after the effect of mexamine and ionizing radiation. It was found possible to estimate the radioprotective efficiency of mexamine with regard to thymus tissue cellularity diminution after the administration of the preparation. 相似文献

Treatment of whole-body gamma-irradiated mice with a preparation of Lactobacillus casei (LC 9018) immediately after irradiation caused a sustained increase in serum colony-stimulating activity which was followed by an enhanced repopulation of granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming cells in the femoral marrow and spleen. Numbers of blood leukocytes, erythrocytes, and platelets were increased earlier in the treated mice than in the controls, and the survival rate was elevated significantly. The radioprotective effect was dependent on the dose of LC 9018 as well as on the dose of radiation. These results demonstrate the value of LC 9018 for the treatment of myelosuppression after radiotherapy or radiation accidents. 相似文献

It was shown that different polysaccharides markedly vary in their toxicity, exert a radioprotective effect when administered both 24 h and 1-4 h before irradiation, enhance and prolong the radioprotective action of S-containing radioprotective agents, and inhibit DNA synthesis in bone marrow which, in all appearance, plays a certain role in the mechanism of their radioprotective action. 相似文献

The radioprotective and anticlastogenic potential of a phenol derivative monoterpene thymol(TOH), against whole-body gamma radiation was studied in Swiss albino mice. Acute toxicity of TOH, with an LD(50(14)) of 1134.03mg/kgbwt., was observed when administered intra-peritoneally (i.p.). The radioprotective potential of TOH was evaluated using the optimal dose of 10mg/kgbwt. TOH, which increased the LD(50/30) by 2.17Gy and resulted in a dose reduction factor (DRF) of 1.25. A significant (p<0.01) reduction in micronucleated, polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE), normochromatic erythrocytes (NCE), and an increased PCE/NCE ratio was also observed after administration of 10mg/kg.b.wt. TOH prior to gamma radiation, indicating its antigenotoxic effect. TOH pre-treatment significantly (p<0.01) elevated reduced glutathione, glutathione-S-transferase, catalase, and superoxide dismutase levels and decreased lipid peroxidation levels in mouse liver homogenates at 24 and 48h after exposure to 4.5Gy of radiation. Further, TOH treatment before exposure to 7.5Gy of gamma radiation resulted in a significant (p<0.01) increase in hematological parameters at various post-treatment time points, with increased numbers of endogenous spleen colonies as well. The histological observations indicated a decline in villus heights and crypt numbers in mouse jejunum and were accompanied by a significant decrease in bone marrow nucleated cells in the irradiated group, which was almost normalized by pre-treatment with TOH. Our study clearly documents the antioxidant, anticlastogenic and radioprotective potentials of TOH, which may be attributed to several possible mechanisms, such as normalization of intracellular antioxidant levels and free radical scavenging activities by TOH. 相似文献

Studies have been made of the initial stages in adsorption of several polarly flagellated marine bacteria to glass surfaces. Bacteria attach at the pole of flagellar insertion, and after a brief period (from a few seconds to a few minutes) of rotation around the attachment axis, become immobile. Soma do not spin or gyrate while the organisms rotate slowly. Flagellar activity continues for several minutes after soma immobilization. Tween 80 inhibits bacterial attachment, and deflagellated organisms do not adsorb to glass. Bacteria rendered nonmotile with sodium azide (NaN3) rapidly adsorb to glass and cannot be removed by washing with artificial seawater or a solution of 2.4% NaCl. It is proposed that both flagella-surface and somasurface interactions are involved in bacterial attachment. Bacterial flagella may play an important ecological role as attachment organelles. 相似文献
