新疆核试验场周围土壤中90Sr137Cs水平

用放射化学分析方法,对新疆核试验场周围10个调查区和远离核试验场位于上风向的5个对照区采取的土壤样品进行了⁹⁰Sr、¹³⁷Cs分析测定。核试验场周围调查区土壤中⁹⁰Sr累积平均沉降量为1.5×10³Bqm^-2,¹³⁷Cs为4.9×10³Bqm^-2;对照区⁹⁰Sr累积平均沉降量为1.3×10³Bqm^-2,¹³⁷Cs为3.9×10³Bqm^-2。调查区和对照区表层土壤中州⁹⁰Sr,¹³⁷Cs放射性平均水平无显著性差异。通过估算得出了调查区⁹⁰Sr、¹³⁷Cs对居民产生约定有效剂量当量分别为78.3μSv(集体剂量当量负担为23.9人·sv)和270μSv(集体剂量当量负担为82.3人·sv),对照区分别为70.5μSv,(集体剂量当量负担为14.1人·sv)和220μSv(集体剂量当量负担为14.1人·sv)。两个地区居民受到来自核试验产生的⁹⁰Sr和¹³⁷Cs给予人体的内照射剂量当量负担基本上是一样的。可认为⁹⁰Sr、¹³⁷Cs对新疆核试验场周围没有造成严重的局部污染。对居民的身体健康不致于产生不良影响。

Rectal Absorption Enhancement of Des-Enkephalin-γ-Endorphin (DEγE) by Medium-Chain Glycerides and EDTA in Conscious Rats

The stability of the neuroleptic peptide des-enkephalin--endorphin (DEE; Org 5878) in the rectal lumen and the rectal bioavailability of DEE were investigated in conscious rats. Furthermore, the influence of peptidase inhibition, peptidase saturation, and absorption enhancement on DEE bio-availability were evaluated. Na₂EDTA (0.25%, w/v) prolonged the degradation half-life of DEE in the ligated colon from 33 ± 7 to 93 ± 45 min. Without adjuvant, tritium-labeled DEE was absorbed from the rat rectum to a very low extent (0–4%). After administration of an excess of unlabeled DEE or with Na₂EDTA, comparable results were obtained. The medium-chain glyceride preparation MGK markedly enhanced the rectal DEE bioavailability, up to 8–20%, which was further increased to 10–44% by coadministration of Na₂EDTA. No substantial influence of varying the rectal delivery rate was observed. The results suggest that absorption enhancement and enzyme inhibition both are essential for effective increase of rectal peptide bioavailability.

Adhesion polypeptides are useful for the prevention of peritoneal dissemination of gastric cancer

We examined the effect of adhesion polypeptides on the adhesion and invasiveness of gastric cancer cell lines. We previously reported the establishment of an extensively peritoneal-seeding cell line, OCUM-2MD3, from a poorly seeding human scirrhous gastric carcinoma cell line, OCUM-2M. Both 21 and 31 integrin expression was markedly increased on OCUM-2MD3 cells compared with OCUM-2M cells, and the ability of OCUM-2MD3 cells to bind to the extracellular matrix (ECM) was also significantly higher than that of OCUM-2M cells. The adhesion polypeptides, YIGSR and RGD, and two RGD derivatives significantly inhibited the adhesion of OCUM-2MD3 cells to the submesothelial ECM, while not inhibiting the adhesiveness of OCUM-2M cells and two well differentiated human gastric cell lines, MKN-28 and MKN-74. The YIGSR and RGD peptides also significantly inhibited the invasiveness of OCUM-2MD3 cells. The survival of nude mice with peritoneal dissemination given YIGSR sequenc e intraperitoneally was obviously longer than that of untreated mice. The survival of mice treated with RGD was also improved, and this effect was increased using the RGD derivatives, poly(CEMA-RGDS) and CM-chitin RGDS. These polypeptides appear to block the binding of integrins, which are expressed on OCUM-2MD3 cells, to the submesothelial ECM, and consequently inhibit peritoneal implantation. The peritoneal injection of adhe-sion polypeptides may be a new therapy against the dissemination of scirrhous gastric cancer, and may be useful for the prevention of dissemination in high-risk patients. © Rapid Science Ltd.
