Total （reduced and oxidized） glutathione （GSH ＋ GSSG）, glutathione disulfide （GSSG）, protein free sulfhydryls （PSH）, protein-glutathione mixed disulfides （PSSG） and protein cystine disulfides （PSSP） were measured in gastric mucosa and liver.RESULTS： Reduced glutathione （GSH） was depleted in the gastric mucosa after ethanol, HCI or NaCl exposure,while oxidized glutathione （GSSG） concentrations increased, except by HCI and NaOH exposure. Decreased levels of PSH after exposure to ethanol were observed,NaCl or NaOH while the total protein disulfides were increased. Ratios of reduced to oxidized glutathione or sulfhydrils to disulfides were decreased by all chemicals.No changes in thiol homeostasis were detected in the liver after i.g. abbreviation should be spelled out the first time here administration of ethanol. Sucralfate increased the concentrations of GSH and PSH and prevented the ethanol-induced changes in gastric mucosal thiol concentrations.CONCLUSION： Our modified methods are now suitable for direct measurements of major protein and nonprotein thiols/disulfides in the gastric mucosa or liver.A common element in the pathogenesis of chemically induced HML and in the mechanism of gastroprotective drugs seems to be the decreased ratios of reduced and oxidized glutathione as well as protein sulfhydryls and disulfides.展开更多

Currently, only about 6% of patients with advanced disease respond to standard gemcitabine therapy, and median survival is only about 6 mo. Moreover, phase Ⅲ trials have shown that adding various cytotoxic and targeted chemotherapeutic agents to gemcitabine has failed to improve overall survival, except in cases in which gemcitabine combined with erlotinib show minimal survival benefi t. Several metaanalyses have shown that the combination of gemcitabine with either a platinum analog or capecitabine may lead to clinically relevant survival prolongation, especially for patients with good performance status. Meanwhile, many studies have focused on the pharmacokinetic modulation of gemcitabine by fi xed-dose administration, and metabolic or transport enzymes related to the response and toxicity of gemcitabine. Strikingly, a phase Ⅲ trial in 2010 showed that, in comparison to gemcitabine alone, the FOLFIRINOX regimen in patients with advanced disease and good performance status, produced better median overall survival, median progression-free survival, and objective response rates. This regimen also resulted in greater, albeit manageable toxicity.展开更多

In this present investigation, experiments were carried out to know the effect of Cu oxide-nano particles （〈 50 nm） on germination and growth of seeds of soybean and chickpea. In both the crops, germination was not checked up to 2,000 ppm Cu （applied through Cu oxide-nano particles）, but the root growth was prevented above 500 ppm Cu. With increasing concentration of NPs, the elongation of the roots was severely inhibited as compared to that in control. In many cases root necrosis was occurred. Massive adsorption of Cu oxide-nano particles into the root system was responsible for the toxicity. A parallel experiment was also carried out to know the effect of copper sulphate solution on seed germination, above 200 ppm Cu, it restricted the germination of seeds, because of high salinity.展开更多

It was found that the exposure of FG cells to abamectin caused the decreases of both cell growth rate and antioxidant enzyme activities, and the increase of intracellular 02 content. It was proposed that the reduction of antioxidant enzyme activities in FG cells caused the accumulation of 02 content in FG cells, leading to the change of cell morphology and even the death of cells. The results showed that FG cell line is suitable for the evaluation of the acute toxicity of abamectin.展开更多

To make a change of the old method, we designed a Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetics Medel for the estimate of safety and toxicity of chemicais. As an example,p-nitrophenol sodium (PNP-Na) is used in the research work. Studies of the PNP-Na pharmacokinetics in bodies of rat as well as humans are made, and possibilities of making use of the Model in the estimate of safety and toxicity of chemicals are discussed.展开更多

Both global bee decline and stopping the use of pesticides may have serious consequences for food security. Automated and accurate prediction of chemical poisoning of honey bees is a challenging task owing to a lack of understanding of chemical toxicity and introspection. Deep learning(DL) shows potential utility for general and highly variable tasks across fields. Here, we developed a new DL model of deep graph attention convolutional neural networks(GACNN) with the combination of undirected graph(UG) and attention convolutional neural networks(ACNN) to accurately classify chemical poisoning of honey bees. We used a training dataset of 720 pesticides and an external validation dataset of 90 pesticides, which is one order of magnitude larger than the previous datasets. We tested its performance in two ways: poisonous versus nonpoisonous and GACNN versus other frequently-used machine learning models. The first case represents the accuracy in identifying bee poisonous chemicals. The second represents performance advantages. The GACNN achieved ~6% higher performance for predicting toxic samples and more stable with ~7%Matthews Correlation Coefficient(MCC) higher compared to all tested models, demonstrating GACNN is capable of accurately classifying chemicals and has considerable potential in practical applications.In addition, we also summarized and evaluated the mechanisms underlying the response of honey bees to chemical exposure based on the mapping of molecular similarity. Moreover, our cloud platform(http://beetox.cn) of this model provides low-cost universal access to information, which could vitally enhance environmental risk assessment.展开更多
