简介:目的:探讨癌基因表达的变化与辐射性细胞放射损伤的关系.方法:采用免疫组化技术检测人脑星形细胞瘤细胞系经X射线处理前后p53、c-myc、bcl-2基因表达的变化;采用原位杂交方法检测p53基因在mPNA水平表达的变化.结果:①处理组内p53、c-myc基因表达率明显高于对照组(P<0.001),bcl-2表达显著减弱(P<0.05),p53或c-myc与bcl-2基因表达呈显著性负相关(P<0.05).②处理组内p53在mRNA水平表达量明显高于对照组(P<0.05),p53基因在蛋白水平与mRNA水平表达呈显著性正相关(P<0.05),p53基因在蛋白水平与mRNA水平表达呈显著性正相关(P<0.05).结论:p53、c-myc和bcl-2基因在X线诱导的细胞损伤中起着重要的作用.本研究结果为脑胶质瘤的放射治疗和基因治疗提供了一条新线索.

简介:目的探讨脊髓挫伤部位的X线照射治疗对脊髓损伤后运动功能恢复的作用.方法将70只雌性Wistar大鼠按照纽约大学的重力冲击方法建立大鼠脊髓(T10)损伤动物模型,按照随机数字表法分为7组,每组10只,其中6组大鼠在损伤后不同时间(损伤后20min、1d、2d、4d、7d、17d)对挫伤部位进行X线(20Gy)照射,第7组则不予照射(对照组).然后根据Basso、Beattie、Bresnahan(BBB)评分标准评测各组大鼠运动功能恢复情况,并进行统计学比较.采用快蓝染色对存活6周以上的大鼠进行挫伤脊髓的组织形态学观察.结果脊髓挫伤后20min、1d、2d行X线照射组BBB评分明显高于对照组,差异均有统计学意义(P〈0.05),且在脊髓损伤后的2~3周进展较快,后期恢复缓慢.组织形态学观察可见应用X线治疗组周边组织残存区面积大于对照组.结论脊髓挫伤部位伤后早期行X线照射治疗可保护脊髓残存的神经组织,改善运动功能的恢复.
