Radiation-induced rescue effect on human breast carcinoma cells is regulated by macrophages by Spoorthy Pathikonda, Li Tian, Clement Manohar Arava, Shuk Han Cheng, Yun Wah Lam

“…Using bystander cells co-cultured with mock-irradiated cells as a control, we demonstrated, for the first time, two types of RIRE. Conditioned medium from naïve by stander cells, i.e., cells not exposed to irradiated cells, could mitigate UV-induced DNA damages in human breast carcinoma MCF7 cells, as judged by phospho-H2AX and 53BP1 immunostaining. …”

Study on the Mechanism and Control of Rock Burst of Coal Pillar under Complex Conditions by Xingping Lai, Huicong Xu, Jingdao Fan, Zeyang Wang, Zhenguo Yan, Pengfei Shan, Jie Ren, Shuai Zhang, Yanbin Yang

“…The position of the obvious increase of the stress of the coal pillar in the lower part of the solid coal is ahead of the advancing position of the working face, and the position of the obvious increase of the stress of the lower coal pillar in the gob lags behind the advancing position of the working face. At the same time, in order to accurately reflect the true stress environment of coal pillars, the author conducted a physical similarity simulation experiment in the laboratory to study the local mining process of the W1123 working face, and it is found that under the condition of extremely thick and hard roof, the roof will be formed in the gob, the mechanical model of roof hinged structurer is constructed and analyzed, and the results show that the horizontal thrust of roof structure increases with the increase of rotation angle. …”

“…Results Compared to control mice, those treated with 20-Gy, but not 6.7-Gy, irradiation had significantly increased tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) (p < 0.01) and α-smooth muscle actin (αSMA) (p < 0.05) expression at 10 days and significantly increased expression levels of motif chemokine ligand-2 (CCL2), α-SMA, tumor growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), type1 collagen, and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) (p < 0.05) in the muscles at 1 month by real-time PCR analysis. The results of immunohistochemistry showed that the deposition of type 1 collagen gradually increased in extracellular space after radiation exposure, and the positive area was significantly increased at 3 months compared to non-irradiated control. …”
