Study of Differential Pressure in Airborne Infection Isolation Room Due to Doorway and Leakage
[[abstract]]負壓隔離病房需維持病室內呈現負壓且確保氣密,以防止致病性微生物向外逸散。當病房內除門縫開口外仍存在其他洩漏源時,對於負壓測值之影響有待深入探討。本研究使用可改變體積之組合式環境模擬暴露艙並配合變頻馬達調整進排氣風量,以探討門縫開口與洩漏開口對負壓測值之影響。設定艙體體積介於45.38 m^3 ~ 28.47 m^3之間並調整進排氣風量(將進氣量當作計算基準以推算出1.2倍的排氣量),以得到所需的每小時換氣次數(以下簡稱ACH)分別為4、8、12及16次,可調整的門縫開口高度介於0.2 cm ~ 1.2 cm之間且門縫寬度固定為100 cm,結合不同洩漏開口面積(4、25及100 cm^2)條件設定,評估在無計畫性洩漏(僅有門縫開口)與計畫性洩漏(門縫開口與洩漏開口)兩種狀況下,門縫開口高度與總洩漏面積對負壓測值之影響。根據實驗所得的數據分析發現,不同的體積下,ACH越大其負壓測值越大,隨著門縫開口高度增加其負壓測值逐漸減小,此外在本研究所採用的體積範圍內並未發現負壓測值因為洩漏開口位置的不同而改變,故可由門縫面積與洩漏面積兩者計算總洩漏面積,評估其在不同的ACH次數下總洩漏面積對負壓測值之影響。本研究結果發現,ACH為4 次且總洩漏面積大於或等於25 cm^2時,則無法達到我國對於負壓隔離病房之建議值(≧ 8 Pa)。最後,根據本研究數據已發展出壓差預測模式,可由現場進排氣風量差及門縫開口面積的實測值推估其負壓測值之大小,提供設計建造判定是否有其他洩漏來源以確保運作有效性。
Negative pressure and air-tightness are required for airborne infection isolation room (AIIR) to prevent the escape of microorganisms. The effect of unexpected leakage in AIIR on decreasing negative pressure differential need to be investigated. In this research, a volume-adjustable chamber with independent supply and exhaust ventilation system which simulate airborne infection isolation room without anteroom was adopted to study the pressure differential caused by doorway and leakage. The ventilation system provides 20% greater exhaust flow-rate than supply air to meet 4, 8, 12 and 16 air change per hour (ACH) of the chamber with the volume ranging between 28.47 m^3 and 45.38 m^3. By changing the adjustable height (0.2 ~ 1.2 cm) of doorway which has 100 cm width, the value of negative pressure was measured to develop the correlation of doorway size and pressure differential. Similar experiment was also conducted under three different designed leakage areas (4, 25 and 100 cm^2) to study the effect of leakage area on pressure differential.It was found that pressure differential increases as ACH increases, but decreases with decreasing height of doorway and leakage area for different chamber volumes. No significant pressure differential was observed for different leakage positions. For ACH equals to 4, the pressure differential can not reach the recommended standard of pressure differential (≧8 Pa) when leakage area is greater than 25 cm^2. By using the experimental data, a predicting model was developed to estimate pressure differential based on the information of flow-rate, doorway and leakage area. It provides diagnosis of leakage sources and ensures operational effectiveness of AIIR
Elucidation of the mechanism that BMP-2 suppresses TGF-β1-induced renal cellular fibrosis
[[abstract]]上皮-間質轉換EMT ( epithelial -mesenchymal transition ) 在胚胎發育上是一個不可或缺的過程。但是在某些晚期的慢性腎疾病中,腎臟纖維化的間質纖維母細胞確是源自於一群腎小管的上皮細胞經歷了一個EMT的過程而來。目前已經知道第一型乙型轉型生長因子TGF-β1 ( transforming growth factor-beta1 ) 能夠在腎臟纖維化的過程中誘導細胞纖維化並且促進EMT的發生。儘管如此,上皮細胞可塑性的能力也同時受到TGF-β1的相關蛋白第二型骨髓生長因子BMP-2 ( bone morphogenetic protein-2 ) 所調節。我們先前的研究發現正常大鼠腎間質纖維母細胞 ( NRK-49F ) 短暫刺激BMP-2 ( 24hr ) 能對抗TGF-β1誘發腎臟細胞纖維化的現象。在這份研究中,我們將探討在正常大鼠腎間質纖維母細胞中BMP-2、TGF-β1和EMT的相互調控機制。培養NRK-49F於TGF-β1 ( 10 ng/mL ) 會誘導EMT的進行,使得α-SMA、 Fibronectin和Snail蛋白表現增加以及E-cadherin蛋白的降低而逐漸失去上皮細胞的型態。若共同刺激TGF-β1 ( 10 ng/mL ) 和BMP-2 ( 10、50、250 ng/mL ) 的劑量24小時則可以逆轉TGF-β1誘導EMT的進行,並且再度重新表現E-cadherin蛋白並且降低α-SMA、Fibronectin和Snail蛋白。這些數據表示BMP-2抑制TGF-β1誘導正常大鼠腎間質纖維母細胞的纖維化會經由調節Snail表現以及EMT的過程。
EMT ( epithelial- mesenchymal transition ) is an integral process during development. But some later phase of chronic kidney disease, the interstitial fibroblasts actually originate from tubular epithelial cells via the EMT in renal fibrogenesis. Transforming growth factor beta ( TGF-β1 ) has been known as the main cytokine involved in the pathogenesis of renal fibrogenesis and also capable of initiating and completing the entire EMT course. Although, epithelial plasticity can also be regulated by a member of the TGF-β1 superfamily bone morphogenetic protein-2 ( BMP-2 ). Our previous study showed that short-term treatment ( 24 hr ) of BMP-2 in NRK-49F ( rat fibroblast ) cells could antagonize TGF-β1 -induced fibrogenesis. In this study, We investigate the interactions of BMP-2, TGF-β1 and EMT process in NRK-49F. Cultured NRK-49F cells were treated with TGF-β1 ( 10 ng/mL ) for 24 hours could be induced EMT, in association with increased α-SMA, Fibronectin, Snail expression, decreased E-cadherin expression and loss of epithelial morphology. A combination of TGF-β1 ( 10 ng/mL ) in BMP-2 dose-dependent manner ( 10, 50, 250 ng/mL ) for 24 hours could be reversed TGF-β1-induced EMT, in association with reexpression of endogenous E-cadherin and degrade α-SMA, Fibronectin and Snail. These data suggest that BMP-2 attenuates TGF-β1-induced renal cell fibrosis could be through mediated Snail and EMT process
The prevention effect of Hylocereus polyrhizus extract on the brain peroxidation injury with aged-loss of spontaneous locomotor activity in aged mice
[[abstract]]由於邁向高齡化社會,老化所造成的退化性疾病,成為重要的醫療問題。單胺氧化酶(Monoamine oxidase, MAO)及行為的缺乏在人體老化及其他神經相關疾病(如:帕金森氏症、憂鬱症)扮演重要角色。因此本實驗探討紅龍果萃取物對MAO活性的影響外,近年的研究得知行為能力的降低也是老化過程中重要的生理指標,故本研究將進一步探討補充紅龍果萃取物對腦部氧化傷害及自發性活動能力影響之相關性。之前研究也提及紅龍果的多酚化合物可抑制老齡小鼠腦部單胺氧化酶活性及過氧化傷害。本實驗採用BALB/c雌鼠,依體重隨機分成三組,分別餵食不同實驗飼料:年輕控制組(YC)、老齡控制組(OC、H)10g extract/kg diet,共飼養14週,每4週進行自發性活動能力試驗,犧牲後測定其腦部及肝臟MAO活性、過氧化指標(TBARS、protein-carbonyl)及抗氧化酵素(catalase、SOD、GPx),非酵素性抗氧化指標(GSH、Vit. C),血清檢測總抗氧化能力(ORAC),並進一步探討對腦部MAO蛋白質表現之影響。結果顯示YC組年輕小鼠自發性活動能力隨著時間增加而略為降低,且YC組活動能力顯著高於二組老齡組(OC、H)。H組在第8與第12週活動能力達到高峰,且顯著高於餵食前之活動力。另外,H組腦中單胺氧化酶活性顯著低於OC組且與YC組相當,進一步分析MAO-B 蛋白質表現量,三組間則無顯著差異,顯示紅龍果萃取物的補充是影響在MAO-B酵素活性,而不是蛋白質的表現。各組腦部TBARS、protein carbonyl指標分析,結果顯示OC組明顯高於YC組,H組則回復至與YC組相同,顯示飲食補充紅龍果萃取物補充可改善腦部的氧化損傷。以ORAC法 (Oxygen-radical absorbance capacity)測定血漿總抗氧能力,H組總抗氧化能力顯著高於OC組並與YC組相當,顯示紅龍萃取物補充時間的延長,可反應體內總抗氧化能力的提升。而酵素性抗氧化活性Catalase 則OC組高於YC組,H組則回復至與YC相當。SOD活性分析,腦部及肝臟OC組高於YC組,H組則回復至與YC相當,顯示紅龍果萃取物的添加可提升老齡小鼠SOD活性。GPx的結果顯示腦部GPx不受飲食影響。而紅龍果萃取物的添加肝臟GPx活性有顯著的提升。非酵素性抗氧化物含量GSH,腦部及肝臟GSH含量OC組顯著低於YC組,而紅龍果萃取物補充可提升GSH活性。腦部及肝臟Vit. C含量為OC組顯著低於YC組,H組則回至與YC組相當。顯示老齡小鼠紅龍果萃取物的添加可防禦自由基的攻擊,改善體內的抗氧化情形。將上述指標都與自發性活動能力進行相關性分析,其分析數據顯示protein carbonyl含量與MAO活性改變與老齡小鼠自發性活動能力降低有關,而腦部TBARS含量與自發性活動能力則較關聯性較低,在抗氧化系統GPx、SOD、Catalase活性、Vit.C及GSH與老齡小鼠自發性活能的降低則顯著相關。上述顯示推測老齡小鼠自發性活動能力的降低可能為透過抗氧化系統的改善與氧化損傷的防禦來改善此現象的發生。紅龍果萃取物補充可有效預防因老化所導致的腦部抗氧化系統衰退及氧化損傷,藉此提高老齡小鼠的自發性活動能力。結果有助於預防神經退化性疾病的保健食品開發之重要依據。

穿心蓮內酯似乎不影響HIF-1α mRNA的轉錄活性。此外,經由膠體電泳位移分析法 ( EMSA ) 的結果證實,穿心蓮內酯可以抑制 HIF-1α 蛋白結合上 VEGF promoter 的區域,因而抑制下游VEGF基因的表達。綜合以上的實驗結果顯示,穿心蓮內酯主要是藉由促進HIF-1α的分解,進而抑制其下游因子VEGF 的表現,此路徑可能與調控A549細胞進行血管新生及轉移有關。未來,穿心蓮內酯在肺癌化學治療或發展新的抗血管新生藥物上將有所裨益。
Lung cancer is the major cause of malignancy-related deaths worldwide, and its incidence is rising in many countries. It is notorious for its low cure rate, and the treatment of lung cancer is usually compromised by metastasis. In the processes of tumor growth, a rapidly growing tumor can induce lack of oxygen and develop a hypoxia environment. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) is a transcription factor that regulates genes involved in angiogenesis and metastasis. Andrographolide (Andro) is isolated from a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, Andrographis paniculate, and has been reported to possess a variety of pharmacological activities. Our previous study has been demonstrated that Andro can inhibit human lung cancer A549 cell migration and invasion which was associated with the inhibition of intracellular protein kinase cascades. In this study, we investigate whether Andro is an inhibitor of HIF-1α and its regulatory proteins, mediating downstream invasive or angiogenic signals. Using Western blotting and RT-PCR assay, it was revealed that the decreased expression of HIF-1α and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and the increase expressions of hydroxyl-HIF-1α (Pro564) and prolyl hydroxylase PHD2 in the Andro-treated A549 cells. The Andro-inhibited VEGF expression appeared to be a consequence of HIF-1α inactivation, because that it DNA binding activity was suppressed by Andro. In conclusion, we have elucidated the HIF-1α-VEGF signals was regulated by Andro. These results highlight the potential therapeutic effects of Andro, which may be developed as a chemotheraptic or an anti-angiogenesis agent in the future

The aim of this experiment is to study the inactivation kinetic of Bacillus atrophaeus spores with chlorine dioxide gas in a test chamber. Bacillus atrophaeus spores strips were treated with chlorine dioxide gas which was aerosolized by ultrasonic nebulizer from chlorine dioxide solution and introduced into test chamber at different concentrations in different time to determine the inactivated rate using enumeration and fractionation analysis of tryptic soy broth (TSB) and tryptic soy agar (TSA). The exposure dose was calculated by Harber’s rule based on chlorine dioxide gas concentration which was measured by detector tubes and total exposure time to establish D-value (Decimal reduction time) from inactivation curve. It was found that the half life of chlorine dioxide gas was less than 5 hr (300 min) at 20~25 ℃ under 90~95% relative humidity. The number of survived spores after exposure to chlorine dioxide gas followed an exponential decrease with increasing exposure concentration and contact time. The D-value of Bacillus atrophaeus spores treated with 100 ppm chlorine dioxide gas was about 60 minutes in this study. The results from this study suggest that gaseous chlorine dioxide should be a highly effective decontaminating agent for Bacillus atrophaeus spores within 2hr exposure time to determine the sterilization cycle achieving 6-log reduction
