Local Epidermal Endocrine Estrogen Protects Human Melanocytes against Oxidative Stress,a Novel Insight into Vitiligo Pathology

As the outermost barrier of the body, skin is a major target of oxidative stress. In the brain, estrogen has been reported synthesized locally and protects neurons from oxidative stress. Here, we explored whether estrogen is also locally synthesized in the skin to protect from oxidative stress and whether aberrant local estrogen synthesis is involved in skin disorders. Enzymes and estrogen receptor expression in skin cells were examined first by quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot analyses. Interestingly, the estrogen synthesis enzyme was mainly localized in epidermal keratinocytes and estrogen receptors were mainly expressed in melanocytes among 13 kinds of cultured human skin cells. The most abundant estrogen synthesis enzyme expressed in the epidermis was 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (HSD17β1) localized in keratinocytes, and the most dominant estrogen receptor expressed in the epidermis was G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER1) in melanocytes. To investigate whether keratinocyte-derived estradiol could protect melanocytes from oxidative stress, cultured human primary epidermal melanocytes (HEMn-MPs) were treated with H₂O₂ in the presence or absence of 17β estradiol or co-cultured with HSD17β1 siRNA-transfected keratinocytes. Keratinocyte-derived estradiol exhibited protective effects against H₂O₂-induced cell death. Further, reduced expression of HSD17β1 in the epidermis of skin from vitiligo patients was observed compared to the skin from healthy donors or in the normal portions of the skin in vitiligo patients. Our results suggest a possible new target for interventions that may be used in combination with current therapies for patients with vitiligo.

Model of intense pulsed ion beam and simulation study of energy deposited on target

Gaussian type models have been established according to the real detected voltage of magnetically insulated ion diode and intense pulsed ion beam density near the focus of the diode. The energy deposition of Al target irradiated by intense pulsed ion beam has been simulated by Monte Carlo method based on these models. The results of energy depositions of the irradiation of single energy ions and the Gaussian distribution IPIB have been obtained. Especially cases of ion beam irradiating Al target at different angles on one dimension and two dimensions are discussed. The evolution processes of the energy deposition of ions in target have been simulated during a pulse. In addition, incident angles of H⁺ ions and C⁺ ions ranging from 20 to 40° have been researched. We obtained the conclusions that C⁺ ions of the beam affect the physical properties of near surface region, but H⁺ ions affect the deeper layer. The energy of intense pulsed ion beam mainly deposits on target surface, so melting and evaporation begin both from target surface.

Effects of ion group content and polyol molecular weight on physical properties of HTPB‐based waterborne poly(urethane‐urea)s

A series of waterborne poly(urethane‐urea)s, WPUUs, based on using nonpolar hydroxyl‐terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) as the soft segment, were successfully synthesized in this article. The effects of the COOH group content and soft‐segment molecular weight (Mn_s) on the dispersion, morphology, and physical properties were investigated. Variations of the particle size, viscosity, and zeta potential were first governed by the hydrophilicity of the polymer chain, and then by the swelling derived from water. Fourier transfer infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) indicated that the degree of phase separation decreased as the COOH group content increased or as Mn_s decreased. However, the hydrogen bonding between the soft and hard segments and the two‐phase mixing could not occur in this nonpolar HTPB‐based WPUU system, indicating that the hard segments tended to form smaller domains and to pack more loosely. It was attributed to the fact that the presence of bulky ionic salt groups destroyed the ordered arrangement of the hard segments. In this case, the increases of the interface area between the soft and hard phases resulted in that the present behaviors were similar to the phase mixing. In tensile properties, HTPB‐based WPUUs exhibited higher tensile stress, elongation at break, and modulus as the COOH group content decreased or as Mn_s decreased. In thermal degradation, the introduction of HTPB polyol improved the thermal stability of WPUU. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2007
