    Abstract: Objective To determine the effect of heat and noise on erythrocyte memb rane ATPase activities in pilots during flying. Method Twenty- four pilots per forming bombing for 3h (45~53℃, 122~97dB in the cabin) served as the su bjects . 21 ground personnel served as control (27℃ in the room). Blood samples were t aken from both groups before flying (6:00 a.m), and immediately (12:00 a.m.) and 8h (8:00 p.m.) after flying. Na+-K+ATPase, and Ca2+-Mg2+ATPase activities in erythrocyte membran e were determined with colorimetry. Result The Na+-K+ATPase activity in eryth rocyte membrane at 6:00 a.m.in pilots was higher than that in control group at the s ame time (P<0.01). The Ca2+-Mg2+ATPase activities in erythrocyte membrane at 12:00 a .m. and 8:00 p.m. in pilots were significantly higher, compared with those in co ntrol group at the same time (P<0.01). Conclusion The ATPase values obtained in our study were all within normal range, and the daytim e variation of both groups are the same. Exposure of human body to heat and noi se for long time may be harmful, the higher ATPase activity is, the more catabol ism of ATP will be. ATP exhaustion will lead to Ca2+ overload in erythrocy te thus stiffen the red cell membrane.

    Heat and noise are very important factors for pilots during flight in hot su mmer . Blood circulation,heart rate and energy expenditure in pilots would be speeded up by the effect of heat and noise, and then it would influence ion balance and hence physiological function of the human body. The purpose of our study is to

    determine the effect of heat and noise on erythrocyte membrane ATPase activity i n pilots during flying.

    Method

    Twenty-four healthy pilots aged 24~39 yr, with accumulated flying time of 252 ~2 110 h (means 1040 h), served as test subjects. 21 healthy ground personnel aged 2 5~35 yr served as control. The test group performed “bombing" for 3 h(9:00 a, m.-12:00 a.m.), at an altitude of 800~1200 m, the temperature at the runway and in the cabin w er e 42℃and 45~53℃ respectively,and the noise intensity in the cabin was 97~122 dB (A) in the test day. The control group worked in the room (27℃) in the same day .

    Blood samples were taken from both groups before flying(6:00 a.m.,fasting) and immed iately(12:00 a.m.,fasting) and 8 h(8:00 p.m.) after flying. The samples were a nticoagulated with hyparin,and the plasma in every sample was discarded. The remainder was di luted with normal saline(4℃) and then centrifuged at 3000 rpm,10 min.The uppe r p ortion of the liquid(leucocyte, thrombocyte, etc.) was discarded. This procedu re was repeated for three times. The remainder was erythrocyte sediment after ab ove-mentioned treatment, then 10 mmol/Tris-HCl solution was added to this eryth ro cyte sediment and centrifuged at 3000 rpm,30 min, 4℃. This procedure was repeat ed for three times again. The final sediment was erythrocyte membrane[1] .

    Na+-K+ ATPase and Ca2+-Mg2+ ATPase activities were determined at once with colo rimetry using kits supplied by Nan Jing Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute, and following the direction strictly. Protein in the samples were determined with Lo wry's method.

    Results are presented as means±SD.Statistical analysis was carried out using St udent's paried t-test,and significance was P<0.05.

    Effect of high temperature and noise on Na+-K+ATPase activity in erythro cyte membran e The daytime (6:00 a.m,12:00 a.m,8:00 p.m) variations of erythrocyte mem brane Na+-K+ATPase ac tivities in test group and control group were the same.The activities at noon a nd evening were higher than those in the morning(P<0.05 or 0.01) in both groups. Th e activity at 6:00 a.m. in the test group was higher than that in the control gr oup a t the same time(P<0.01). The activity at 8 h after flying (8:00 p.m.) obviously decreased as compared with that at 12:00 a.m. in the test group, the d iffer ence was significant(P<0.01).There was no significant difference between those at 12:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. in the control group(P> 0.05). The values of both groups at the above times were given in Tab.1.

    Erythrocyte membrane plays an important role in maintaining normal shape of the cell and linking up molecules transportation inside and outside the cell. Er ythrocyte produces ATP continuously by anoxic ferment of glucose, which keeps up the normal metabolism and function of the red cell. As was known, there are thr ee kinds of ATPases in red cell membrane, they are Na+-K+ ATPase, Ca2+ -Mg2+ ATPase and Mg2+ ATPase. The normal values of Na+-K+ ATPase and Ca2+-Mg2+ ATPase in human erythrocyte membrane are 0.24~0.5 μ m ol pi. mg prot-1.h-1 and 0.4~2.5 μmol pi .mg prot-1.h-1 respectively[2].The ATPase values obtained in our study were all with in above-mentioned normal range, and the daytime variation of both test and con trol groups are the same. It suggested that such kind of temperature and noise i ntensity had no obvious effect on daytime variation rhythm of A TPase.

    The principal cation in plasma is Na+,the transmembrane gradient is abo ut 1 5:1. The transmembrane gradient for the principal cation in red cell cytoplasm, K+,is about 1:25[3]. Energy for exchanging Na+ inside the cell for K+ outside is supplied by ATP, which is activated by Na+-K+ ATPase in the inner membrane of the cell. Normal red cell contains low level of calcium, averaging 16 μmol/l. About 80% of it is in the membrane, where it is berieved to assist i n the crosslinking of skeletal proteins[4]. The inward leak of Ca2+ is opposed through an active extrusion by an ATP-driven Ca2+-Mg2+ ATPase pump.

    The Na+-K+ATPase activity in the erythrocyte membrane at 6:00 a.m in the test gr oup was higher than that in control group at the sams time. It suggests that whe ther the basic Na+-K+ATPase activity in erythrocyte membrane in the pilots i s hi gher than that in the ground personnel needs further investigation. The Na +- K+ATPase activity in erythrocyte membrane immediately after flying was higher th an that at 8 h after flying in test group, and Ca2+-Mg2+ATPas activ ities in eryth rocyte membrane immediately and 8 h after flying in test group were higher than t hose in the control group at the same times. It might suggest that the energy e xpendi ture in pilots is much more than that in the ground personnel, because the work load of pilots in heat and noise environmemt is heavier than that of ground pers onnel. The higher ATPase activity,the more ATP hydrolysis will be needed to supply more energy.

    The pilots are also influenced by shake,radiation and so on besides heat and noise during flying. The results of this study showed no difference with our ea rlier work[5], so the changes of ATPase activities in erythrocyte membr ane were caused mainly by the effect of heat and noise.

    The real mechanism of ATPase activity increase in erythrocyte membrane in pi lots after flying in heat and noise environmemt is not very clear. It might be d ue to activation of the sympathetic nerve,increase of adrenaline and catecholam ine,rapid catabolism of 5-HT,and excitement of hypothalamus-pituitary-thyro id axis by increased catecholamine,causing increaed release of thyroxine,then inc rease of ATPase activity by increased thyroxine[6].

    So, it will be harmful for human body to expose to heat and noise for long- te rm,because the results of our study showed that the ATPase activity increased b y effect of heat and noise. Long term ATP deficiency might bring about failure o f ATP-driven pumps, especially the Ca2+ pump. The energy expended for pum ping Na + out and K+ in would increase Na+ and decrease K+ inside the cell. Go a s tep further, it would lead to an elevation of intracellular Ca2+ concentr ation.On th e other hand, The intracellular Ca2+ level is determined partly by the amo unt of available ATP,which competes with the membrane for Ca2+ binding. When AT P is d epleted,free Ca2+ accumulates and redistributes[3].It would caus e Ca2+ overload in the cell which would damage the erythrocytes,and could account for several phenomena of erythrocyte aging[7].Red cell membrane is exquisitely se nsitive t o Ca2+.Even a slight increase in membrane Ca2+ would fatally stiffe n the red cell membrane[8] and would sharply impair the deformability of the cell.
