BackgroundCurrent evidence on whether occupational sulfur dioxide (SO2) exposure affects the risk of hypertension is still limited, and the research results of the effect of environmental SO2 exposure on risk of hypertension remain inconsistent.ObjectiveTo analyze the association between self-reported occupational exposure to SO2 and the risk of hypertension, and the potential dose-response relationship between the years of exposure to SO2 and the risk of hypertension.MethodsBased on the Jinchang cohort, a nested case-control study design was adopted. A total of 841 newly diagnosed hypertension patients were followed up as the case group, and the control group was selected with 1∶1 individual matching based on non-occupational factors and occupational factors, respectively. The former matching conditions included age ±2 years old, same gender, working age ±2 years, and home address in the same sub-district. The latter was limited to working in the same workshop on the basis of the former conditions. Finally, the former included 717 controls and the latter included 488 controls. A unified questionnaire was used to collect general demographic characteristics, lifestyle habits, history of diabetes, family history of hypertension, and information on occupational exposure to SO2 (self-reported history of occupational exposure to SO2 and years of exposure to SO2). Conditional logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between occupational exposure to SO2 and hypertension, and the dose-response relationship between the years of SO2 exposure and the risk of hypertension.ResultsIn the nested case-control study matching with the non-occupational factors, the OR of hypertension in workers with self-reported occupational exposure to SO2 was 2.39 (95%CI: 1.68-3.39); while when matching with the occupational factors, the OR of hypertension in workers with self-reported occupational exposure to SO2 was 1.48 (95%CI: 1.04-2.12). The results of the dose-response relationship showed that as the SO2 exposure years increased from 1-9 years, 10-19 years, 20-29 years, and 30 years and above, in the nested case-control study matching with non-occupational factors, the ORs of hypertension were 1.85 (95%CI: 0.68-5.08), 1.46 (95%CI: 0.58-3.67), 1.64 (95%CI: 1.00-2.67), and 4.95 (95%CI: 2.63-9.31), respectively; in the nested case-control study matching with occupational factors, the ORs of hypertension were 0.98 (95%CI: 0.40-2.41), 1.84 (95%CI: 0.72-4.70), 1.37 (95%CI: 0.82-2.29), and 2.44 (95%CI: 1.37-4.35), respectively. The two dose-response relationships were positive by χ2 trend test (Ptrend<0.05).ConclusionSelf-reported occupational exposure to SO2 is associated with the risk of hypertension in the study population, and the hypertension risk increases with the increase of SO2 exposure years.

Objective To investigate the cardioprotective effects of carbamylated erythropoietin(CEPO) in rats with chronic heart failure(CHF) and its possible mechanism.Methods Ten rats were randomly selected from 90 male Wistar rats as control group,and the rest of the Wistar rats were treated by intraperitoneal injection of isoproterenol(ISO) to establish animal models of CHF.After being fed for 5 weeks,the rats were redivided into CEPO group and CHF group.The CEPO group underwent intraperitoneal injection of CEPO(50μg/kg) twice a week for 4 weeks.The CHF group and control group received equivalent amount of saline at the same time.After 4 weeks of CEPO therapy,the hemodynamics,tumor necrosis-alpha(TNF-α) level and interlerkin-6(IL-6) level in serum,and cardiomyocyte apoptosis rate were measured.Results Compared with the control group,the left ventricular systolic pressure(LVSP) and maximum rate of rise/decline of left ventricular pressure(dp/dtmax) decreased significantly in the CHF group(P<0.05),but the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure(LVEDP) and heart rate(HR) increased significantly(P<0.05).Compared with the CHF group,the LVSP and dp/dtmax increased significantly in the CEPO group(P<0.05),but the LVEDP and HR decreased significantly(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the TNF-α level and IL-6 level in serum and cardiomyocyte apoptosis rate increased significantly in the CHF group(TNF-α: 4.01±0.20 vs 8.09±0.09 pg/ml,IL-6: 20.93±1.20 vs 30.26±0.94 pg/ml,cardiomyocyte apoptosis rate: 3.80±0.57% vs 22.35±0.60%)(P<0.05).Compared with the CHF group,the TNF-α level and IL-6 level in serum and cardiomyocyte apoptosis rate decreased significantly in the CEPO group(TNF-α: 8.09±0.09 pg/ml vs 6.40±0.14 pg/ml,IL-6: 30.26±0.94 pg/ml vs 25.66±0.74 pg/ml,cardiomyocyte apoptosis rate: 22.35±0.60% vs 13.67±0.36%)(P<0.05).Conclusion CEPO can improve cardiac function in rats with CHF,possibly due to its effects of reducing local inflammation reaction and inhibiting the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes.
促红细胞生成素(EPO)能直接促进红细胞生成,可用于预防和治疗多种原因引起的贫血.EPO广泛分布于人体各个系统,除促造血作用外,还具有抗炎、抗凋亡、促进新生血管生成等多种作用,并可通过这些作用发挥广泛的组织保护效能.然而,长期大剂量应用EPO必然增加高血压、血栓形成等风险.氨甲酰化促红细胞生成素(carbamylated erythropoietin,CEPO)作为EPO衍生物的代表,不仅药代动力学特征与EPO相似,且可通过抗炎、抗凋亡、促进新生血管生成等多种作用减轻心、脑、肾等器官的缺血-再灌注损伤,但其无促红细胞生成活性,不会增加高血压及血栓形成风险.因此,CEPO的应用前景比EPO更为广阔.该文将EPO及CEPO的心脏保护作用作一综述.
AIM:To investigate the effect of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2(ERK1/2)signaling pathway on carbamylated erythropoietin-induced cardioprotection against ischemia-reperfusion(I/R)injury.METHODS:Forty rabbits were randomly allocated to control group,I/R group,I/R+CEPO group,I/R+ PD98059 group,I/R+CEPO+PD98059 group.We compared the difference of infarct size using observations of ST↑,NST↑%,NQ% in the 12-lead ECG.The paraffin slices were subjected to terminal deoxy-nucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling(TUNEL)staining for detection of cardiac myocyte apoptotic rate.RESULTS:There was no diference between I/R+PD98059 group and I/R group on ST↑,NST↑%,NQ% and cardiac myocyte apoptotic rate(P>0.05);I/R+CEPO+PD98059 group was higher than I/R+CEPO group on ST↑,NST↑%,NQ% and cardiac myocyte apoptotic rate(P<0.05);I/R+CEPO group and IR+PD98059+CEPO group were lower than I/R group on ST↑,NST↑%,NQ% and cardiac myocyte apoptotic rate(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Acute cardioprotective effect of CEPO was mediated by activation of ERK1/2 signaling pathway.ERK1/2 signaling pathway wasn't significantly actived in the absence of CEPO.
