Objective · To compare urine sample collection methods for measuring urinary concentrations of phenolic endocrine disrupting chemicals including bisphenol A (BPA),triclosan (TCS),and 4-n-nonylphenol (4-n-NP) in pregnant women.Methods· Urine samples were collected from women at late pregnancy by two methods:urine catheter and collection bag (n=176),urine collecting containers made of polypropylene (PP) (n=642).Urinary concentrations of BPA,TCS and 4-n-NP were measured with high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS)method.Confirmation experiment used PP containers,urine catheter and collection bags,as well as low-density polyethylene (LDPE) tubes and glass containers as both negative controls to collect urine samples from each of the 5 women.Results · Geometric mean (GM) of urinary BPA concentration collected by urine catheter and collection bags was 82.5 ng/mL (95% CI 71.4-95.4 ng/mL),which was 63 times higher than that from PP containers (GM 1.3 ng/mL;95% CI 1.3-1.5 ng/mL).Concentrations of urinary 4-n-NP and creatinine were similar between two collection methods.Confirmation experiment showed that urinary BPA concentration collected by urine catheter and collection bags was much higher than those collected by other three methods.Conclusion· In collection of urine samples for measuring phenolic chemicals,PP urine collection container as well as LDPE containers are adequate for use in epidemiologic studies,but urine catheter and collection bag is not.

AIM: To investigate the ameliorative effect of water extract of propolis (WEP) preconditioning on mesenteric microcirculation of rats subjected to small intestinal ischemia reperfusion (I/R). METHODS: Thirty-two male Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham, I/R and WEP (100, 200 mg/kg) preconditioning groups. Model of small intestinal I/R injury was made by clamping super mesenteric artery for 45 min followed by 120 min of reperfusion in rats. Mesenteric microcirculation was detected at the end of reperfusion. The degree of small intestinal injury was The content of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) in plasma and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in intestinal tissue were detected using enzyme linked-immuno-sorbent assay (ELISA) and spectrophotometer, respectively. RESULTS: (1) WEP preconditioning alleviated significantly the pathologic lesion in small intestine, and wet/dry ratio, compared to those in I/R group (P<0.01). (2) The disturbance of the blood flow in microvessel induced by I/R was improved significantly by WEP. In addition, WEP preconditioning alleviated significantly the decrease in diameters of microvessels and microcirculatory blood velocity (P<0.05 vs I/R group) and inhibited the adherence of leukocytes to venule (P<0.01 vs I/R group) in a dose-dependent manner. SICAM-1 content in plasma and MPO activity in intestinal tissue were decreased in WEP preconditioning group, compared to those in I/R group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSION: WEP preconditioning ameliorates mesenteric microcirculation of rats subjected to small intestinal I/R through suppressing the activation of polymorphonuclear neutrophils mediated by ICAM-1.

Objective To explore the relationship between the polymorphisms of the primary gout predisposing gene (BCAS3) rs11653176 locus and the incidence of gout in Han Chinese men in coastal areas of Shandong Province. Methods One hundred and fifty-two cases of patients with gout remission,68 cases of acute stage,252 patients with hyperuricemia, and 280 healthy subjects, total males, were enrolled. Genotyping the rs11653176 locus of BCAS3 gene by TaqMan probe technique. The expression level of BCAS3 gene mRNA in each PBMC was measured by RT-qPCR. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-6(IL-6), and interleukin-18(IL-18)in serum were measured by ELISA. Results The change of allele frequency of rs11653176 locus in BCAS3 gene was associated with gout(P<0.01). BCAS3 mRNA in patients with gout was significantly higher than that of healthy people and patients with hyperuricemia(P<0.01). In gout patients, the expression level of BCAS3 gene containing C allele was higher than that of T allele(mRNA,P<0.05). The inflammatory factors in the acute phase of gout were significantly higher than those in phases of remission and hyperuricemia(P<0. 01). Conclusion Changes in the allele frequency of BCAS3 alleles rs11653176(high C, low T)may contribute to the expression of this gene,and lead to gout. And the onset of gout is closely related to the production of inflammatory factors.
