The purpose of the work was to further investigate the effect of zero magnetic field (ZMF) on the concentration of ions in the human blood compared to the effect of the normal geomagnetic field (GMF). We have investigated the total Zn and Cu concentrations in the blood serum during in vitro aging of blood. The investigation was carried out both on blood from healthy donors as well as from chronic bronchial asthma (BA) patients. Blood samples were kept for 48 hours in a Helmholtz coil compensating system to remove the static component of the geomagnetic field, at room temperature. We found that zinc concentrations in the plasma were not significantly influenced by the exposure to ZMF compared to GMF for both healthy and pathological samples. In contrast, copper concentration was found to be significantly sensitive to the magnetic environment. Healthy blood showed a slight loss of copper from the blood serum in GMF, which further increased in ZMF. BA pathology is characterized by four distinct types of disease, which showed both qualitative and quantitative distinctive sensitivity to the magnetic environment, as compared to healthy blood. The aging effect appeared to be slowed down for most of the BA types of pathologies. These results point to the sensitivity of ion binding to serum proteins and/or transport through cell membranes in the magnetic environment, in our case in the absence of the normal geomagnetic field. 相似文献

We have developed exchange transfusion methods to alter the hematocrit of tumour-bearing mice. The effects of anaemia and its correction by blood transfusion on the radiosensitivity of two mouse tumours (SCCVII/St and RIF-1) were studied using excision, in vivo/in vitro assay. An acute reduction in haematocrit caused a high degree of radioresistance equivalent to an increase in the hypoxic fractions by factors of 10 (SCCVII/St) and 30 (RIF-1). As the duration of the anaemia was prolonged, radioresistance was lost until within about 6 h normal radiosensitivity was observed even though the anaemia persisted. The restoration of the normal haematocrit by red blood cell transfusion after 24 h of anaemia caused increased radiosensitivity equivalent to a reduction in the hypoxic fraction by factors of 5 (SCCVII/St) and 10 (RIF-1), but again the effect was transient and normal radiosensitivity was re-established within 24-48 h of retransfusion. Measurements of 14C misonidazole (MISO) binding to RIF-1 tumours after these procedures indicated changes in the number of hypoxic cells which were qualitatively almost identical to those using the cell survival endpoint, leading us to believe that changes in oxygenation were responsible for the altered radiosensitivity. We feel that transfusion procedures could be used to advantage in the radiotherapy of some cancers. 相似文献

Hypoxic cells in human tumours probably contribute to the failure of radiotherapy in some sites. Changes in the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood, such as in anaemia, have been shown to influence tumour response. The effect of acute and chronic changes in haematocrit on the radiosensitivity of three mouse tumours (EMT6, KHT and RIF-1) were studied. Alterations in haematocrit were achieved by bleeding followed by retransfusion. When radiation was preceded immediately by an acute reduction in haematocrit (anaemia), radiosensitivity was markedly reduced in each tumour. An acute rise in haematocrit (polycythaemia) increased or decreased X-ray sensitivity depending on its severity. The optimum haematocrit for maximum sensitivity was always found to be at a level 5-10 per cent above normal. When the time between induction of anaemia and irradiation was increased, simulating a progressively longer duration of anaemia, marked changes in radiosensitivity of all the tumours were observed. A short duration of anaemia resulted in a resistant tumour with each cell line, but the resistance was gradually lost as the anaemia was prolonged, even though no recovery in haematocrit occurred. The rate of recovery to normal radiosensitivity varied from 24 to 72 hours in the different tumours. Therefore, only haematocrit changes which occurred within 1-3 days of a dose of radiation affect the radiosensitivity of these tumours. 相似文献

Preeclampsia is an important cause of maternal and perinatal mortality worldwide. The etiology of this relatively common medical
complication of pregnancy, however, remains unknown. We studied the relationship between maternal leukocyte selenium, zinc,
and copper concentrations and the risk of preeclampsia in a large hospital-based case-control study. One hundred seventy-one
women with proteinuric pregnancy-induced hypertension (with or without seizures) comprised the case group. Controls were 184
normotensive pregnant women. Leukocytes were separated from blood samples collected during the patients’ postpartum labor
and delivery admission. Leukocyte concentrations for the three cations were measured by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry
(ICP-MS). Concentrations for each cation were reported as micrograms per gram of total protein. Women with preeclampsia had
significantly higher median leukocyte selenium concentrations than normotensive controls (3.23 vs 2.80 μg/g total protein,
p<0.0001). Median leukocyte zinc concentrations were 31% higher in preeclamptics as compared with controls (179.15 vs 136.44
μg/g total protein, p<0.0001). Although median leukocyte copper concentrations were slightly higher for cases than controls, this difference did
not reach statistical significance (17.72 vs 17.00 μg/g total protein, p=0.468). There was evidence of a linear increase in risk of preeclampsia with increasing concentrations of selenium and zinc.
The relative risk for preeclampsia was 3.38 (adjusted odds ratio [OR]=3.38, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.53–7.54) among
women in the highest quartile of the control selenium distribution compared with women in the lowest quartile. The corresponding
relative risk and 95% CI for preeclampsia was 5.30 (2.45–11.44) for women in the highest quartile of the control zinc distribution
compared with women in the lowest quartile. There was no clear pattern of a linear trend in risk with increasing concentration
of leukocyte copper concentrations (adjusted for linear trend in risk =0.299). Our results are consistent with some previous
reports. Prospective studies are needed to determine whether observed alterations in selenium and zinc concentrations precede
preeclampsia or whether the differences may be attributed to preeclampsia-related alterations in maternal and fetal-placental
trace metal metabolism. 相似文献

Relationship between mercury concentration in blood, cognitive performance, and blood pressure, in an elderly urban population 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Concentration of mercury (Hg) in whole blood in an elderly urban population with a mean age of 87 years was studied in relation to cognitive function, arterial blood pressure (arterial BP), age, gender, body mass index (BMI) and smoking habits. This population-based study consisted of 106 subjects both males and females. Clinical assessment of the subjects included medical and social history, physical and neurologic examination and assessment of cognitive functions with Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Information on use of all potentially anti-hypertensive drugs was collected. Whole blood from 106 subjects were collected and analysed for mercury by Cold Vapour Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (Milton Ray ASS-CV) with Seronorm Trace Element as matrix matched quality control. Males and females did not differ in blood-mercury (B-Hg) concentrations or in any of the other studied variables. B-Hg concentrations did not differ between smokers and non-smokers. Females were treated more often than males with antihypertensive drugs. There was no relation found between B-Hg concentration and cognitive function, arterial BP, age, gender or BMI. In conclusion, no relations were found between B-Hg concentrations and the studied variables. 相似文献

The present study determined the protective potential of zinc in attenuating the toxicity induced by chlorpyrifos in rat blood.
Male Sparque Dawley (SD) rats received either oral chlorpyrifos (13.5 mg/kg body weight) treatment every alternate day, zinc
alone (227 mg/l in drinking water) or combined chlorpyrifos plus zinc treatment for a total duration of 8 weeks. The effects
of different treatments were studied on various parameters in rat blood including haemoglobin (Hb) levels, total leukocyte
count (TLC), differential leukocyte count (DLC), zinc protoporphyrins (ZPP), serum trace elemental concentrations and Scanning
Electron Microscopic (SEM) observation of the blood cells. Chlorpyrifos treatment to normal control animals resulted in a
significant decrease in TLC and ZPP concentration after 4 and 8 weeks. Chlorpyrifos treated animals also showed significant
neutrophilia and lymphopenia after 8 weeks of toxicity. In addition, a significant decrease in serum zinc and iron concentrations
were observed following chlorpyrifos intoxication, however, these animals responded with increased serum copper levels following
the toxic treatment with this organophosphate. SEM studies of the red blood cells from chlorpyrifos treated animals indicated
marked alterations in the topographical morphology of the various cell types, with the prominent feature being common aniscocytosis
of the erythrocytes. Oral zinc treatment to the chlorpyrifos treated animals significantly improved the total leukocyte, neutrophil
and lymphocyte counts, as well as the otherwise reduced concentrations of ZPP and the levels of various serum trace elements.
Protective effects of zinc were also evident in the electron microscopic observations where most blood cell types depicted
reverted to a close to the normal appearance. Based upon these data, the present study is first of its kind and suggests that
zinc treatment considerably attenuates chlorpyrifos induced toxicity induced in restoring the altered hematological indices
and morphological changes. 相似文献

Mitogenic activity of glia maturation factor: Interaction with insulin and insulin-like growth factor-II 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Ramon Lim Joyce F. Miller Danny J. Hicklin Alvin C. Holm Barry H. Ginsberg 《Experimental cell research》1985,159(2):335-343
The mitogenic activity of glia maturation factor (GMF) was tested on sparse-cultured cells. GMF stimulates the growth rate of normal astroblasts and fibroblasts grown in the presence of fetal calf serum (FCS), and raises the saturation density of the cells over what is imposed by the corresponding serum concentrations. GMF has no mitogenic effect in the complete absence of serum. The mitogenicity of GMF is also demonstrable in defined media where certain serum components are present. In particular, GMF in combination with the defined medium N2 partially mimics the proliferative effect of serum alone. Insulin, an ingredient of N2, can substitute for the complete N2 formula. Insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II), in turn, can substitute for insulin. The interaction of GMF with insulin or IGF-II can be demonstrated in a sequential manner, suggesting that GMF is a competence factor. Since insulin is required at a concentration well above the physiologic serum level, and must be used at a dose 1000 times higher than IGF-II, we suspected that insulin acts on IGF-II receptors. This was substantiated by the demonstration of IGF-II receptors and the absence of detectable insulin receptors on the astroblasts. The combined effect of IGF-II and GMF mimics the combined effect of 10% FCS and GMF, in both growth rate and saturation density. 相似文献

Plasma testosterone and 17β‐oestradiol concentrations, differential leukocyte counts and proportion of dead Rhipidocotyle campanula gill parasites (parasite resistance) were determined five times during a year in two populations of roach Rutilus rutilus and analysed for seasonal and gender differences. In addition to the above immune variables, plasma Immunoglobulin M (IgM) concentration, chemiluminescence and migration differential of head kidney phagocytes, size of the spleen, haematocrit and total leukocyte count were correlated with sex hormones for each population, sampling time and sex separately, using condition factor as a partial correlate. There were no clear gender differences in the determined immune variables. Both testosterone and oestradiol concentrations were lowest after the spawning in June. Oestradiol was higher in females than in males, but testosterone was present in equal concentrations in both sexes. Statistically significant correlations between sex hormones and immune variables were rare and mainly without any patterns with respect to population, sex or sampling date. The meta‐analysis on individual correlations, however, revealed a positive relationship of plasma testosterone concentration to chemiluminescence of head kidney phagocytes, plasma IgM concentration and the proportion of dead R. campanula to all R. campanula on the gills. In the meta‐analysis, the concentration of oestradiol was not found to correlate with any of the studied immune variables. 相似文献

Long term (12-48 h) extracorporeal circulation without and with irradiation of the blood was performed in normal and splenectomized dogs in order to observe the effect of these procedures on blood leukocyte counts including CFU-C. A transient granulocytopenia and a decrease of lymphocyte count were observed. The blood CFU-C level diminished to a very low level and remained low for the whole time of the experiments. There was no significant difference between the results of procedures with or without irradiation. The similar effect of a shortened tubing system on the blood leukocyte count is also reported. Heparin infusion alone did not decrease the peripheral CFU-C concentration. The possible explanations for the observed phenomena are discussed. 相似文献

Apoptosis in peripheral blood lymphocytes of healthy donors and cancer patients after gamma-irradiation with different doses was studied by the flow cytometry method. Wide intra- and interindividual variabilities of the lymphocyte radiosensitivity were observed. The radiosensitivity did not depend on the subpopulation composition of the lymphocyte pool. The persons with very low and high lymphocyte radiosensitivities were found significantly more often among the cancer patients than among the healthy donors. One can suggest that this method is useful as a biomarker of future cancer risk and prognosis of radiotherapy efficiency. 相似文献

Suppression of human natural and antibody-dependent cytotoxicity by soluble factors from unstimulated normal lymphocytes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Serum-free culture supernatants of unstimulated normal human peripheral blood mononuclear cells contain soluble suppressor factor(s) (SSF) that significantly inhibit natural (NK) and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxic (ADCC) activities of allogenic lymphocytes against a variety of target cells. Lymphocytes precultured with increasing concentrations of SSF showed a dose-dependent suppressive effect on these cytotoxic functions that was optimal at a concentration of 20% volume/volume. Adherent cells were not required for the production of SSF. Suppression was evident even at higher effector: target cell ratios and the inhibition was not reversed by washing lymphocytes. SSF was not itself cytotoxic, was stable at 56 degrees C, and its suppressive effect was maximal after 72 hr of incubation with effector lymphocytes. Initial estimate of the molecular weight of SSF by ultra-filtration was less than 20,000 daltons. Gel filtration of SSF on Sephacryl S-200 resulted in the elution of two peaks of activity; one in the region between markers of 13,700 and 25,000 daltons, and the other less than 13,700 daltons. Both fractions demonstrated significant suppressive activity on NK and ADCC functions of allogenic lymphocytes. SSF inhibition of NK activity could be partially reversed by incubating lymphocytes for 1 hr with human leukocyte interferon (IF) and almost completely reversed after 24 hr of IF treatment. A few selected monosaccharides (alpha-methyl-D-mannoside, L-fucose and L-rhamnose) showed a dose-dependent blocking effect on SSF activity, which suggests that SSF may act via receptor sites recognized by these sugars. As demonstrated for other lymphocyte functions, NK and ADCC activities may also be modulated by SSF elaborated by normal PBL. 相似文献

The influence of poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis inhibitors on mammalian cell radiosensitivity was investigated. Four different inhibitors were studied: 3-methoxybenzamide, 3-aminobenzamide, 6-aminonicotinamide and nicotinamide. When exponentially growing or plateau phase cells are incubated before irradiation with non-toxic concentrations of these compounds, their radiosensitivity is enhanced except in the case of nicotinamide. The poly(ADP-ribose) inhibitors do not modify the repair of sublethal damage, but totally suppress the repair of potentially lethal damage, as shown by the survival of CHO cells and of a human osteosarcoma cell line. 相似文献

The effect of reducing agents on proteolytic enzymes and oxidation of alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We have studied the effect of the mucolytic agent N-acetylcysteine and dithiothreitol on the oxidation of alpha 1-PI by hydrogen peroxide, and their effect on porcine pancreatic elastase and leukocyte elastase. In addition, the effect of S-(carboxymethyl)cysteine (= carbocisteine, a mucolytic agent which does not have reducing properties) was studied in vitro and in patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis. Following addition of 59.6mM N-acetylcysteine, the amidolytic activity of leukocyte elastase was decreased by 55.3% and that of porcine pancreatic elastase by 57.0%. Dithiothreitol (5.7 mM) caused the loss of 97.4% and 67.6% of amidolytic activity of leukocyte elastase and porcine pancreatic elastase respectively whereas S-(carboxymethyl)cysteine had no effect. Similar results were found for the effect on elastolytic activity. Oxidation of alpha 1-PI by 8.6mM H2O2 resulted in partial loss of inhibitory function (mean 68.7% activity of native alpha 1-PI). N-Acetylcysteine and dithiothreitol prevented oxidation of alpha 1-PI when pre-incubated with H2O2 or incubated with alpha 1-PI and H2O2 simultaneously (94.5% and 94.4% activity of native alpha 1-PI for N-acetylcysteine; 78.3% and 87.6% activity for dithiothreitol - p less than 0.025). S-(Carboxymethyl)cysteine, when pre-incubated with H2O2 or incubated concurrently with alpha 1-PI and H2O2, caused a further decrease in the porcine pancreatic elastase inhibitory capacity of alpha 1-PI (53.1% and 63.0% respectively - p less than 0.025). None of the agents reversed oxidative inactivation once it had occurred. S-(Carboxymethyl)cysteine had no effect on alpha 1-PI function in sputum at the dose used. 相似文献

Capillary blood sampling has been identified as a potentially suitable technique for use in diagnostic testing of the full blood count (FBC) at the point-of-care (POC), for which a recent need has been highlighted. In this study we assess the accuracy of capillary blood counts and evaluate the potential of a miniaturized cytometer developed for POC testing. Differential leukocyte counts in the normal clinical range from fingerprick (capillary) and venous blood samples were measured and compared using a standard hematology analyzer. The accuracy of our novel microfluidic impedance cytometer (MIC) was then tested by comparing same-site measurements to those obtained with the standard analyzer. The concordance between measurements of fingerprick and venous blood samples using the standard hematology analyzer was high, with no clinically relevant differences observed between the mean differential leukocyte counts. Concordance data between the MIC and the standard analyzer on same-site measurements presented significantly lower leukocyte counts determined by the MIC. This systematic undercount was consistent across the measured (normal) concentration range, suggesting that an internal correction factor could be applied. Differential leukocyte counts obtained from fingerprick samples accurately reflect those from venous blood, which confirms the potential of capillary blood sampling for POC testing of the FBC. Furthermore, the MIC device demonstrated here presents a realistic technology for the future development of FBC and related tests for use at the site of patient care. 相似文献

The cell composition of a population of human blood lymphocytes was studied after irradiation at doses of 5 cGy, 1.0 Gy and 5 cGy + 1.0 Gy and the use of a cytokinesis block. The frequencies of uni-, bi- and multinucleate lymphocytes with and without micronuclei (MN) were taken into account. By the standard criterion the frequency of binucleate lymphocytes with MN among binucleate lymphocytes--the donors were characterized as follows: in with reduction of radiosensitivity after irradiation with 5 cGy + 1.0 Gy as compared to the values of radiosensitivity after irradiation with 1.0 Gy only (an adaptive response, AR); in with no change of radiosensitivity after exposure to these doses (no AR); and with an increased ofradiosensitivity after exposure to these doses (syndrome of increased radiosensitivity, IRS). It was found that upon exposure to 1.0 Gy and 5 cGy + 1.0 Gy in some donors with AR, without AR and with IRS the total numbers of damaged cells in the population and the number of binucleate cells with MN were equal. This result calls in question the involvement of the repair mechanism in the alteration of radiosensitivity of lymphocytes in these donors. It was also observed that in the same donors a simultaneous increase (or a decrease in the case of IRS) of the portion of undamaged binucleate cells in the population took place. Our results demonstrate the existence of a new, populational, mechanism involved in the alteration of radiosensitivity after exposure to the adaptive and challenge doses. 相似文献

The variability of blood lymphocyte reaction on the adaptive irradiation (0.05 Gy at first, then 1.0 Gy 5 h later) was investigated by micronuclei assay. Blood samples were obtained from 700 children. It was shown that in all groups studied there were children with enhanced radiosensitivity ("radiosensitivity syndrome"-RS) after exposure to adaptive low dose of radiation. The radiosensitivity syndrome occurred more often in groups of ill children; part of them was characterized by the enhanced blood content of immunoglobulin E, enhanced level of T helpers and T suppressors. A high spontaneous level of lymphocytes with micronucleus is a factor of radiosensitivity formation. The possible factors resulted in radiosensitivity syndrome are discussed. 相似文献

The proposed method makes it possible to find out the direct influence of the geomagnetic field (GMF) on microorganisms of the family Enterobacteriaceae (the genera Escherichia, Shigella, Salmonella). Different disturbances in the state of GMF, both in amplitude and frequency range, were modeled under laboratory conditions. Microbial cells were cultivated in sterile artesian-well water or physiological saline with no organic substrate added. Experiments were performed at room temperature for 5 and more days. In these experiments the standard dose of microbial suspension was inoculated daily into Endo medium. The differences in the reproductive capacity and survival time of microorganisms in the test and control vials were compared with the indices of geomagnetic disturbances. If the experiments were started 2-4 days before the appearance of geomagnetic disturbances, the suppression of the reproductive capacity of microorganisms occurred, then followed its stimulation; this phenomenon particularly affected Escherichia coli and Shigella sonnei. In case of the quiet state of GMF the suppression of reproductive capacity is commonly observed. If the beginning of the experiment coincides with the appearance of a magnetic storm, a sharp decrease in the reproductive capacity of microorganisms and the death of the population within 1-5 days usually occurred. The survival rate of microorganisms depended on the state of GMF disturbances. The survival time of cell generations during disturbances of GMF was considerably longer. Under the conditions of a superimposed magnetic field the reproductive capacity of microorganisms outstrips, as a rule, that developing under the conditions of the compensation of the field. Studies on the biological activity of infralow frequency showed that the multidirectional reproductivity effect was observed due to constant changes in the geomagnetic background. 相似文献

Inherent radiosensitivity varies widely between individuals. We hypothesized that amino acid substitution variants in two highly radiation-responsive proteins, TP53 (p53) and CDKN1A (p21, Waf1, Cip1), are associated with and could explain individual variations in radiosensitivity. The two non-synonymous single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) TP53 codon 72 Arg/Pro G>C and CDKN1A codon 31 Ser/Arg C>A were genotyped in 92 normal fibroblast cell strains of different radiosensitivity. The clonogenic surviving fraction at 2 Gy (SF2) ranged between 0.15 and 0.50 (mean = 0.34, SD = 0.08). The mean SF2 was used to divide the cell strains into radiosensitive (45) and normal groups (47). A significant association was observed between SF2 and the TP53 codon 72 haplotype (C compared to G, P = 0.01). No association was observed between CDKN1A codon 31 haplotype and radiosensitivity (P = 0.86). The variant TP53 Arg72 allele was associated with a decrease in radiosensitivity, presumably due to suboptimal function leading to less stringent control of cell division. We conclude that certain SNPs in susceptible genes can influence cellular radiation response. Such risk alleles could ultimately be used as predictive markers for radiosensitivity to help stratifying individuals during assessment of risk of radiation exposure. 相似文献

The influence of partial screening of EMF on the composition of white blood cells was studied in the experiments on rats. Two kinds of copper rings were used in these experiments: individual for each rat and common for the cage. It was shown that inside the ring the composition of blood cells was changed--in 3-5 hours the number of granulocytes increased and in 24 hours it restored to the initial level. The effect was more expressive in the experiments using individual rings. In control groups the experiment with plastic rings didn't reveal this effect. It was presumed that EMF prevented the decay of granulocytes. It leads to the increase of their guantity. It was revealed that there was a positive correlation between Ki-indexes of geomagnetic field (GMF) in 1-2 days before the experiments and the number of granulocytes in rats during 1995-2002. Ki-indexes reflect the degree of GMF disturbance. During magnetic storms the spreading of EMF in radio-frequency range changes. It was presumed that the effect of partial screening of EMF of rats and the activity of magnetic storms are similar in their influence on the composition of white blood cells of rats. 相似文献
