Abstract:
The study on the etiology of Kashin-Beck disease showed that organic residues in the large volume of water samples were concentrated onto XAD resin columns. The extracts were partioned and analyzed by GC/MS. The water samples from the endemic area of Kashin-Beck disease were collected from the Tian Tang river, deep well and cellar well which arc located in Tian Tang village, Linyou County, Shaanxi province. The control water sample was collected from a deep well on the campus of Xi'an Medical University which is the source of the University tap water. Forty, thirty one, nineteen and ten kinds of organic compounds, which were respectively found to embody twenty five, nineteen, eight and four kinds of aromatic compounds, were respectively discovered in the Tian Tang river, deep well, cellar well and control water. Alkenes, ketens, ketones, naphthalenes and thazoles were found only in the river, deep well and cellar well water. Indenes were merely found only in the river and deep well water. The results suggest that above six compounds may be important etiological factors of Kashin-Beck disease, which have never been reported. However, its real etiologcal and epidemiological signicance needs further study.
