In this report, the superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities produced by these bacteria were measured, and the change of SOD and CAT activities by 20 keV N+ beam exposure was examined. Their activities were increased by N+ beam exposure from 8x 1014 ions/cm2 to 6x1015 ions/cm2.The treatment of H2O2 and [ CHC13 +CH3 CH2OH ] and the measurement of absorption spectrum showed that the increase in SOD activity was resulted from inducible activities of MnSOD in D. radiodurans AS1.633 by N+ beam exposure . These results suggested that this bacteria possess inducible defense mechanisms against the deleterious effects of oxidization.展开更多

In DDC group, 3 out of 50 rats developed cancer and 4 developed atypical hyperplasia of hronchial epithelium within 35 to 40 days.In SOD group, no cancer developed in all of the 52 rats.and only one had atypical hyperplasia in the lungs. Only one of 42 control rats had cancer and 2 rats had atypical hyperplasia of bronchial epithelium . The difference in cancer frequency between groups DDC and SOD was significant (P<0.05). The results suggest that there is a synergism between DDC and MCA in the induction of lung cancer, while SOD can inhibit MCA-induced lung cancer development. The mechanism of the effect of SOD and DDC was discussed.展开更多

MethOds The superoxide dismutase activities and lipids composltion of erythrocytes in 18 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and 16 healthy controls were measured. Results Superoxide dlsmutase(SOD) activites of erythrocytes were lower in dilated cardiomyopathy(DCM) patients than that in healthy controls (P <o. oo1 ). The lipids composition of erythrocytes has changed in the DCM patients compared with healthy controls: total liplds changed little (P >o. o5); total phospholipids were lower, but not significantly (P>o. o5): total cholesterol increased significantly (P <o. o5). The cholesterol to phospholipids molecular ratio of erythrocyte membrane has increased remarkably (P >o. o5). Conclusion It can be supposed that decreased SOD activitles play an important role in the damage or membrane system and the pathogensis of DCM.展开更多

The results obtained show that Mn-SOD activity exhibits most evidently in lung cancer tissues, less evidently in peripheral tissues around the lung cancer, but the least in normal peripheral lung tissues, indicating a declined tendency as definitely proved by statistical treatment (P<0.01). In addition, LPO values are found to be lower in lung cancer tissues than those in normal peripheral tissues.展开更多
