Methods $180 subcutaneously implanted tumor model mice were randomly divided into two groups: control (N) and low dose radiation (LDR) groups. N mice were sacrificed after 12 h, whereas LDR mice were sacrificed after 12 (LDR-12 h), 24 (LDR-24 h), 48 (LDR-48 h), and 72 (LDR-72 h) h. Thereafter, we measured the tumor volumes. Histopathology was performed, and P-V immunohistochemistry was applied to assess MMP-2 and TIMP-2 expression. Results Compared with the control group, the tumor growth was significantly inhibited in the LDR groups (P 〈 0.05). MMP-2 expression was considerably reduced in LDR-24h (P 〈 0.05) and LDR-48h (P 〈 0.05), whereas the change of TIMP-2 was not obvious in the LDR groups (P 〉 0.05) in contrast to that of the control group. Conclusion LDR can effectively suppress the growth of S180 implanted tumors by reducing MMP-2, which is associated with invasion and metastasis.展开更多

The mice were exposed to γ- rays of ^60Co (whole body irradiation) in the dose of 7 Gy (the transitional clinical form of the acute radiation sickness). The dose rate at acute irradiation was 1.14 Gy/min, and at prolonged exposure, 0.027 Gy/min. Laser radiation in the dose l mJ/cm^2 was used to irradiate only the back of a mouse. First, the mice were exposed to γ-radiation, then to laser radiation. The time interval between two types of irradiation did not exceed 30 min. It was shown that the radiation protection of mice with laser radiation is possible at exposure to ionizing radiation in a wide dose interval and can reduce negative after-effects of both the acute and prolonged radiation exposure.展开更多

First, the mice were exposed to γ- radiation (whole body irradiation), then after 2 h or 24 h they were irradiated with laser radiation. The results of these studies have shown that the use of laser irradiation to reduce radiation damage in mice is effective 24 h after the exposure to 5 Gy ionizing radiation which leads to the bone-marrow clinical form of the ARS (Acute radiation sickness). In case of the lethal dose of ionizing radiation 7 Gy (the transitional clinical form of the ARS), the increase in life expectancy of mice is observed using laser radiation both 2 and 24 h after the exposure to γ- radiation, but the effectiveness of the laser used 2 h after the ionizing radiation is significantly more efficient.展开更多

Methods: Kunming male mice were randomly divided into three groups: blank group, PYM group (P group), low dose radiation + PYM group (P + L group). Mice of P + L group were given whole body low dose radiation 75 mGY, dose rate were 12.5 mGY/min. After 6 h, mice in both P + L group and P group were given inbreathe of atomization of PYM, concentration was 2 mg/mL. Mice were sacrificed after the dl, d7, d14, d21 and d28, IL-6 were detected in alveolar irrigating solution. The tissue samples of mice lung were fixed in 10% formalin, TNF-α and TGF-β were analyzed by immuno- histochemistry. Results: Compared with P group, IL-6 in low dose radiation + PYM group were lower, near to blank group, the difference had notable statistical significance on the dl and the d7, while on the d14, d21, d28, the difference had not statisti- cal significance. It suggested that low dose radiation could reduce the resection of IL-6 at the begin of lung injure induced by low dose radiation. The expression of TGF-β and TNF-α in P + L group were lower than that in P group, but the difference in the two groups had statistical significance by gray analysis P 〈 0.05. Conclusion: In the early stage of lung injure caused by PYM in mice, low dose radiation of 75 mGY can reduce the secretion of IL-6, decrease the production of TGF-β and TNF-α.展开更多
