Abstract:Objective To observe the ultrastructure,ATPase activity and Ca2+concentration ([Ca2+]i) of mitochondria in the sperematogenic cells of mouse testes 3-24 h after low dose radiation with 0.025-0.200 Gy X-rays,and illuminate the effects of mitochondrion structure and relative biological function on apoptosis.
Methods The ultrastructure changes of mitochondria in the spermatogenic cells were observed with transmission electron microscope;the ATPase activity was measured with protein enzymic method;[Ca2+]i was measured indirectly by flow cytometry with Fluo-3 probes.Results The mitochondria swelled and vacuolizated,and their cristae were broken in the spermatogonia and spermatocytes 12 h after irradiation,and their nuclei were karyopyknosis,the acrosomal vesicle structure was ambiguity,the membrane structure was unclear,and the mitochondria in spermatids were vacuolization.The activities of Na+-K+-ATPase in mouse testis tissue 12 h after irradiated with 0.025-0.200 Gy decreased compared with those with 0 Gy,the Na+-K+-ATPase activities of the cells irradiated with 0.05-0.200 Gy decreased  significantly compared with those with 0 Gy (P< 0.05),and Ca2+-ATPase of the cells irradiated with 0.025-0.200 Gy decreased significantly compared with those with 0 Gy (P< 0.05). The change of [Ca2+]i in mouse testis spermatogenic cells had similar dose-response relationship,[Ca2+]i  after irradiated with 0.075 Gy decreased compared with those with 0 Gy (P< 0.05). After 0.075 Gy irradiation for 3-24 h,the activities of Na+-K+-ATPase in mouse testis tissues decreased obviously compared with those at 0 h (P< 0.05),the activities of Ca2+-ATPase in mouse testis tissues increased slightly at 3 h,then decreased at 6-24 h compared with those at 0 h (P< 0.05);[Ca2+]i in mouse testis spermatogenic cells had similar time course-response relationship,[Ca2+]i at 12 h decreased significantly compared with at 0 h(P< 0.05).
Conclusion Low dose radiation could induce the structure changes in the spermatogenic cell mitochondria of mouse testes;at the same time,there are the regularities of dose-effect and time course-effect in the changes of ATPase activitiy and [Ca2+]i induced by low dose radiation.

Abstract ( 1116 )  

Abstract:Objective To measure the change of serum interleukin-23 (IL-23) level before and after treatment with glucocortcoid and analyze the correlations between levels of IL-23 and IL-4, IFN-γ,IL-17, and explore the role of IL-23 in bronchial asthma.
Methods Thirty femal BALB/c mice were randomly divided into three group (n=10): group A (asthma model), group B (corticosteroid treatment) and group C (normal control). All mice were killed 24 h after final OVA challenge.The blood samples were obtained for measurements of serum IgE,IL-4,IFN-γ,IL-17and IL-23 levels by enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA).
Results The mouse asthma model appeared ethological changes specific to asthma.The level of OVA specific IgE in serum increased.The level of serum IL-4 increased and the level  of IFN-γ decreased.Correlation analysis showed negative relationship between  IL-4 and IFN-γ(r=-0.859,P<0.01),there existed Th1/Th2 imbalance.The level of serum IL-23 in group A was higher than that in group C (P<0.01). In mice treated with inhaled budesonide (group B),the level of serum IL-23 was lower than that in group A (P<0.01).The concentration of IL-23 had  no correlation with both IL-4 and IFN-γ.There was a positive correlation between the levels of serum IL-23 and IL-17 (r=0.763,P<0.01).
Conclusion IL-23 in serum might be involved in the pathogenesis of bronchial asthma,and could be inhibited by inhaled glucocorticoid. IL-23 has no relationship with IFN-γ and IL-4. It suggested that IL-23 might contribute to the development of asthma indirectly by inducing IL-17 generation.

Abstract ( 1314 )  

Objective
To study the influence of different implant diameters on the implant-bone-interface stress distributions in zygomatic implant denture and illustrate the correlation between implant diameter and long-dated success rate of zygomatic implant denture. Methods Three-dimensional finite element model for maxilla and zygoma was established biomechanically in this study by spiral CT technique and finite element software technique,and zygomatic implant was simulated into the model in the first-maxillary-molar region.Zygomatic-implant-denture load cases concerning different implant diameters(3.5,4.0 and 5.0 mm) were designed and loaded vertically,obliquely. The implant-bone-interface stress distributions were analyzed by 3-D finite element method. Results The model could be observed from any angle,and had good geometric similarity compared with CT image.Stress peak values among these load cases with different diameters were compared,the load case with 3.5 mm diameter appeared the largest stress peak value,the load case with 4.0 mm diameter appeared the larger stress peak value and the load case with 5.0 mm diameter appeared the least stress peak value.As the implant diamater increased(3.5 mm→4.0 mm→5.0 mm),the compressive and tensive stress peak values of implant-bone interface in the maxillary alveolar ridge and the zygomatic area near maxillary sinus roof decreased gradually,the stress of implant-bone interface in the maxillary alveolar ridge was significantly larger than that of implant-bone interface in the zygoma area and compressive stress peak value was larger than tensive stress peak value.  Conclusion The implant-bone-interface stress distributions tend towards uniformity as the implant diameter increases. Select wider-diameter implant as possible as the residual bone permitted clinically.
