明日叶查尔酮对紫外线诱发HaCaT细胞损伤的防护作用

为研究明日叶查尔酮(Angelica keiskei chalcones,AC)对紫外线诱发HaCaT细胞损伤的防护作用,采用紫外线照射损伤的HaCaT细胞,分别加入高、中、低剂量依次为20、10、5μmol/L终浓度的AC,共同培养24 h,采用3-(4, 5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2, 5-diphenyl-2-Htetrazolium bromide(MTT)比色法测定细胞增殖活性,流式细胞仪测定细胞凋亡率,试剂盒法测定细胞MDA含量和SOD、CAT及Caspase-3的活性,逆转录聚合酶链式反应方法检测细胞BCL-2和Bax的mRNA表达水平。结果表明,与正常对照组比较,照射模型组细胞增殖活性、SOD、CAT活性、BCL-2 mRNA表达水平降低,而细胞MDA含量、凋亡率、Caspase-3活性以及Bax mRNA表达水平则升高;中、高剂量AC组细胞增殖活性、SOD、CAT活性、BCL-2mRNA表达水平均高于照射模型组,而细胞MDA含量、凋亡率、Caspase-3活性以及Bax mRNA表达水平则均低于照射模型组。上述各项差别均具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。研究发现,明日叶查尔酮可抑制紫外线照射诱发的HaCaT细胞凋亡,调节BCL-2和Bax的mRNA表达水平,增强细胞的抗氧化酶活性,减轻受损细胞的脂质过氧化水平,对紫外线照射导致的细胞损伤有良好防护作用

JUNO Sensitivity on Proton Decay p→νˉK+p\to \bar\nu K^+ Searches

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a large liquid scintillator detector designed to explore many topics in fundamental physics. In this paper, the potential on searching for proton decay in $p\to \bar\nu K^+$ mode with JUNO is investigated.The kaon and its decay particles feature a clear three-fold coincidence signature that results in a high efficiency for identification. Moreover, the excellent energy resolution of JUNO permits to suppress the sizable background caused by other delayed signals. Based on these advantages, the detection efficiency for the proton decay via $p\to \bar\nu K^+$ is 36.9% with a background level of 0.2 events after 10 years of data taking. The estimated sensitivity based on 200 kton-years exposure is $9.6 \times 10^{33}$ years, competitive with the current best limits on the proton lifetime in this channel

JUNO sensitivity on proton decay p → ν K + searches*

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a large liquid scintillator detector designed to explore many topics in fundamental physics. In this study, the potential of searching for proton decay in the $p\to \bar{\nu} K^+$ mode with JUNO is investigated. The kaon and its decay particles feature a clear three-fold coincidence signature that results in a high efficiency for identification. Moreover, the excellent energy resolution of JUNO permits suppression of the sizable background caused by other delayed signals. Based on these advantages, the detection efficiency for the proton decay via $p\to \bar{\nu} K^+$ is 36.9% ± 4.9% with a background level of $0.2\pm 0.05({\rm syst})\pm$$0.2({\rm stat})$ events after 10 years of data collection. The estimated sensitivity based on 200 kton-years of exposure is $9.6 \times 10^{33}$ years, which is competitive with the current best limits on the proton lifetime in this channel and complements the use of different detection technologies
