Sonodynamically induced anti-tumor effect with protoporphyrin IX on hepatoma-22 solid tumor

Objective

The purpose of this study was to evaluate sonodynamically induced anti-tumor effect of protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) in mice bearing hepatoma-22 (H-22) solid tumors, and the possible in vivo cell damage mechanism was also investigated.

Methods

The pharmacokinetics of PPIX was analyzed in plasma, skin, muscle and tumor of H-22 bearing mice. Tumors were irradiated with ultrasound (1.43 MHz, I_SATA 3 W/cm², 3 min) for three times at 8, 12 and 24 h after 5.0 mg/kg PPIX administration, respectively. The anti-tumor effects of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) were estimated by the tumor inhibition ratio (volume and weight). The bio-effects of SDT were evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, transmission electron microscope (TEM) observation, lipid peroxidation (LPO) measurement and anti-oxidative enzymes (glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD)) assay.

Results

A significant anti-tumor effect was obtained by PPIX-mediated sonodynamic therapy (PPIX-SDT). At the fifteenth day after PPIX-SDT, the tumor growth and tumor weight inhibition ratios were 53.84% and 45.86%, respectively. In addition, the structure of tumor tissues and the anti-oxidative enzymes were obviously destroyed after SDT treatment.

Conclusions

A biochemical mechanism was involved in PPIX-SDT in vivo, and the free radicals produced by the synergistic treatment destroying the anti-oxidative system of tumor cells in vivo may play an important role in this action. Also, the thermal effect could not be excluded in inducing damage of cellular structures, like membrane disruption and chromatin condensation under current evaluation in this paper.     

拓展小尺寸离心压气机级失速裕度机匣处理方案的数值研究

为提高一小尺寸离心压气机级的失速裕度,首先为其设计了进气回流和周向槽两种机匣处理方案,对实壁机匣和处理机匣压气机级总体性能的分析表明;进气回流并没有起到拓展压气机级失速裕度的效果,周向槽机匣处理对压气机级失速裕度的改进量也只有约2.41%。因此考虑了一种新的机匣处理方案,即同时采用进气回流和周向槽机匣处理。计算结果表明:压气机级失速裕度得到了明显的提高,提高幅度达13.25%。

1. INTRODUCTION In some cities of China, cancer and breath system diseases caused by the pollution of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been obviously increasing. The VOCs includes BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene), aldehydes, cresol, phenol, acetic acid, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which have long-term human health implications. Emission of the VOCs has threatened the health of people seriously [1,2]. The pollution of the VOCs mostly hails from…     

一种改进的AR谱估计方法

分析了现有的基于最小二乘法的AR参数模型的谱估计算法在信噪比较低时估计效果差的原因，提出了一种基于协方差成形最小二乘法的改进的参数模型AR谱估计算法。这种算法建立了以线性模型的真实输出与估计输出的均方误差为模型的代价函数，并选择满足一定约束条件的线性变换估计使得该均方误差最小。仿真结果表明，这种算法虽然是有偏估计，但在信噪比不高的情况下，估计效果优于Yule—Walker等参数模型AR谱估计方法，而在信噪比较高的情况下，二者估计效果相当。
