Methods CCK-8 method was initially adopted to identify the proper interventional concentration of curcumin. T24 bladder cancer cells were subjected to CCK-8, flow cytometry, and colony formation assay to study the cell biological behaviors under different interventions. γ-H2AX test was performed to test the level of damage in T24 cells. RT-qPCR and Western blot were conducted to measure FLNA mRNA and protein levels. Results Low-dose curcumin (10, 20 μM) following X-ray exposure resulted in increased DNA damage, augmented apoptosis, and reduced proliferation of T24 cells. Certain radiosensitization was demonstrated when curcumin was applied at 10 μM. Additionally, elevation of FLNA gene and protein levels was also indicated upon combination treatment. Conclusion Low-dose curcumin has certain radiosensitization effect in bladder cancer, where FLNA plays a certain regulatory role.","PeriodicalId":11285,"journal":{"name":"Dose-Response","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47943015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the drug requires frequent dosing due to limited bioavailability (10–26.7%). The rationale of the present study was to develop a self-dissolving microneedle system for local and systemic delivery of acyclovir using a topical lyophilized wafer on microneedle-treated skin to provide the drug at the site of infection. The microneedles prepared with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) (8% w/w) or HPMC (8% w/w)-polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) (30% w/w) penetrated excised rat skin, showing sufficient mechanical strength and rapid polymer dissolution. The topical wafer was prepared with acyclovir (40% w/w; equivalent to 200 mg of drug), gelatin (10% w/w), mannitol (5% w/w), and sodium chloride (5% w/w). The uniform distribution of acyclovir within the wafer in an amorphous form was confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). No polymer–drug interaction was evident in the lyophilized wafer as per Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. The wafer showed a sufficiently porous structure for rapid hydration as per scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. During ex-vivo analysis, the skin was pre-treated with a self-dissolving microneedle array for 5 minutes, and the wafer was placed on this microporated-skin. Topical wafer provided ∼7–11 times higher skin concentration than the ID99 reported with a lower lag-time. Based on in-vivo testing, ∼2.58 µg/ml of Cmax was achieved in rabbit plasma during 24 hours’ study. Our findings suggest that the self-dissolving microneedle-assisted topical wafer, proposed for the first time, would be efficacious against the infection residing in the skin layer and for systemic therapy.","PeriodicalId":11285,"journal":{"name":"Dose-Response","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46058895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there is no evidence that radiation is a carcinogen below some threshold. Prof. Edward Calabrese pursued the emergence of the linear no-threshold theory (LNT) and questioned whether it ever had a scientific basis. After the Chernobyl accident many publications appeared with LNT-based prognostications, for example, of millions of victims from nuclear accidents, reviewed previously. Apparently, certain writers’ exaggeration of medical and ecological consequences of the moderate anthropogenic increase in the background radiation contributed to a strangulation of the atomic energy, which was in the interests of fossil fuel producers. Some dose-effect correlations may be attributed to a dosedependent selection, self-selection and recall bias noticed in exposed cohorts. It can be reasonably assumed that individuals, knowing that they had higher doses would be more motivated to undergo medical examinations being at the same time given more attention. Therefore, diagnosis of diseases would be on the average more likely in people with higher doses. For example, the dose-dependent increase in incidence of cardioand cerebrovascular diseases among Mayak Production Association (MPA) workers was not accompanied by a corresponding elevation of mortality, which can be attributed to a more frequent recording of mild cases in people with higher doses. The excess relative risk per unit dose for leukemia amongMPAworkers, using incidence data, has been considerably higher than that using mortality data. A more efficient detection of latent leukemia with occasional registration of unverified cases is a probable explanation. Elevated risks of non-malignant diseases have been found in Chernobyl, MPA, and Techa River populations. For example, the excess relative risk of cerebrovascular diseases, per unit dose, among MPAworkers was reportedly higher than in the atomic bomb survivors, where the exposure was acute and thus would be expectedly higher. Remarkably, the dosedependent incidence increase in cerebrovascular and ischemic heart disease among MPA workers was not accompanied by any increase in mortality, which can be explained by a dosedependent diagnostic efficiency with recording of mild and borderline cases in people with higher dose estimates. According to the same researchers, the incidence of cerebrovascular diseases was significantly increased among MPA workers with cumulative external doses ≥ 0.1 Gy. For comparison, UNSCEAR could not make any conclusions about immediate causal relationships between doses ≤ 1–2 Gy and excess incidence of cardiovascular or generally of non-malignant diseases. The value 1–2 Gy may be an undervaluation due to bias in epidemiological studies. Doubtful correlations between low-dose exposures and nonmalignant conditions call into question the cause–effect character of such correlations for malignancies reported by the same resear","PeriodicalId":11285,"journal":{"name":"Dose-Response","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43113314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Eryptosis, the suicidal death of erythrocytes, featured by PS exposure, membrane blebbing and cell shrinkage. Anemia is an outcome of uncontrolled eryptosis. Research Design In this study, erythrocytes were treated with different concentrations (.5-1-1.5 μM) of bifenthrin over a period of 48 hours. In order to investigate the oxidative stress induced by bifenthrin, catalase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase activities were investigated.

In addition, measurement of cell size and confirmation of the role of calcium in the stimulation of the eryptotic activity of bifenthrin were performed. A significant increase in mean cell volume was found in the presence of bifenthrin and a decrease in mean cell volume in the presence of calcium channel blocker was observed. Similarly, there was also a significant increase in the percentage of hemolysis indicating the necrotic activity of bifenthrin.

To explain the potential mechanisms behind the lower number of hospitalized COVID-19 patients, it has been hypothesized that cigarette smoking may reduce the odds of cytokine storm and related severe inflammatory responses through cholinergic-mediated anti-inflammatory mechanisms. Japanese scientists have recently identified a potential mechanism behind the lower numbers of COVID-19 cases amongst smokers compared to non-smokers. However, we believe that this mitigative effect may be due to the relatively high concentration of deposited energy of alpha particles emitted from naturally occurring radionuclides such as Po-210 in cigarette tobacco. Regarding COVID-19, other researchers and our team have previously addressed the anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating effects of low doses of ionizing radiation. MC-simulation using the Geant4 Monte Carlo toolkit shows that the radiation dose absorbed in a spherical cell with a radius of .9 μm for a single 5.5 MeV alpha particle is about 5.1 Gy. This energy deposition may trigger both anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic effects which paradoxically lower the risk of hospitalization due to COVID-19 in smokers.","PeriodicalId":11285,"journal":{"name":"Dose-Response","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47164837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: Diabetic model was established by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ) treated CD-1 mice and high glucose cultured human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HMVECs). Immunofluorescence was used to detect renal endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT); Hematoxylin and Eosin (HE) staining and Masson’s Trichrome Staining (MTS) was used to analyze renal fibrosis; CCK-8 was used to evaluate cell viability; Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to assess the expression of miR-101-3p; Western blots were utilized to judge the protein expression levels of EndMT, extracellular matrix and TGF-β1/Smad3 signal pathway. Results: In this study, we first found that the protective effect of DEX on DN was related to EndMT. DEX alleviated kidney fibrosis by inhibiting EndMT in diabetic CD-1 mice. DEX could also inhibit high glucose-induced HMVECs EndMT. Then, we confirmed that miR-101-3p was the regulatory target of DEX. The expression of miR-101-3p was decreased in diabetic CD-1 mice and high glucose-induced HMVECs. After DEX treatment, the miR-101-3p increased, and the inhibition of miR-101-3p could counteract the protective effect of DEX and aggravate the EndMT. Finally, we found that the TGF- β1/Smad3 signal pathway was involved in the protective effect of DEX on DN. DEX inhibited the activation of TGF-β1/Smad3 signal pathway. On the contrary, inhibiting miR-101-3p promoted the expression of TGF-β1/Smad3.
