Journal of Environment and Health 1992;0(02):-
As the people's life quality improved, more and more attention has been paid to indoor air pollution. The SBS (sick building syndrome) resulting from indoor air pollution has become an unavoidable problem in the modern life. Indoor air pollution has been listed as one of the five most dangerous environmental factors to human health. The present paper mainly analysed the prominent indoor air pollutants such as formaldehyde, radon, ammonia, nitrogen oxides and VOCs, which affect indoor air quality, and also pointed out the research direction and the high lights in this field in future.

Objective To observe the effects of total flavones from Herba Epimedii(TFHE)on the experimental myocardial ischemia and hemorheology of animals.Methods The model of acute myocardial ischemia of rats was established with pituitrin and the model of acute blood stasis was established with high-molecular dextran.The effects of TFHE on the electrocardiogram J-point of acute myocardial ischemia model and the hemorheology of acute blood stasis model were observed.Besides these,the effects of TFHE on coaglutaion time in mice were observed.Results As compared with the model groups,high-,middle-,and low-dosage groups(24,12,and 6 mg/kg)of TFHE could obviously improve the abnormal electrocardiogram J-point of acute myocardial ischemia model,also could effectively prevent the ascending of whole blood viscosity(high-,middle-,and low-shear rate),packed erythrocyte volume,and fibrinogen.High-and low-dosage groups(34 and 17 mg/kg)of TFHE could obviously lengthen the coaglutaion time in mice.Conclusion The results suggest that TFHE possesses protective effects on ischemic myocardium,which may better hemorheology,decrease the whole blood viscosity,prevent blood from coagulating and improve the circulatation of coronary artery.

BACKGROUND:LIM mineralization protein-1 (LMP-1) and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) as intracelular proteins can induce osteogenic differentiation and promote angiogenesis, respectively. Therefore, their combination is of great significance for effectively inducing the osteogenic differentiation of adipose-derived stem cels.
OBJECTIVE:To study the osteogenic differentiation of adipose-derived stem cels transfected by lentivirus vector carrying LMP-1 and HIF-1α.
METHODS:Reverse transcription-PCR technology was employed to clone LMP-1 and HIF-1α genes, and thegenes were cloned to lentivirus vectors pLVX-EF1α-DsRed-Hyg and pLVX-EF1α-IRES2-AcGFP1 to construct main lentiviral vectors pLVX-EF1α-DsRed-Hyg-RLMP-1 and pLVX-EF1α-IRES2-AcGFP1-RHIF-1α. Then, Lenti-X 293T cels were transfected with main vectors pLVX-EF1α-DsRed-Hyg-RLMP-1 and pLVX-EF1α-IRES2-AcGFP1-RHIF-1α, packaging plasmid and coated plasmid. After that, lentiviral vectors were packaged to transfect adipose-derived stem cels from rats that were obtained by tissue explants culture and enzyme digestion methods. At 3, 7, 14 days after transfection, reverse transcription-PCR technology was adopted to detect the expression of osteogeic genes, such as bone morphogenetic protein 2, Runx-2, alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin as wel as to detect the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Lentiviral vectors pLVX-EF1α-DsRed-Hyg-RLMP-1 and pLVX-EF1α-IRES2-AcGFP1-RHIF-1α were effectively transfected into adipose-derived stem cels. Reverse transcription-PCR results showed that from the 7th day to the 14th day after lentivirus transfection, bone morphogenetic protein 2, Runx-2, alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin al over-expressed. These findings indicate that the combination of LMP-1 and HIF-1α can enhance the osteogenic activity of adipose-derived stem cels.

Objective To investigate the MRI features of children's joint tuberculosis of the appendicular skeleton, and to evaluate the diagnostic value of MR imaging. Methods Sixteen consecutive patients confirmed clinically and pathologically were examined with SE-T1WI, FSE-T2WI, FSE-PDWI and PD-SPIR in Philips Achieva 3.0T superconduct MR scanner. Axial, sagital and coronal images were obtained. Articular structure was all analyzed based on the affected parts and features of MRI. Results Hip joint and knee joint were most likely to suffer (each 25.00%). Metaphysis was affected in 13 patients with long signal intensity on T1WI and long signal intensity on T2WI. The changes of articular cartilage presented as abnormality of signal intensity in 6 patients with focal high signal intensity on T2WI. Thirteen patients presented as joint effusion. Synovial thickening in 4 patients showed moderate homogeneous signal on T1WI and slightly lower signal on T2WI. Articular soft tissue was involved in 16 patients, including the formation of cold abscess in 2 and cellulitis in 1 patient, showing long signal intensity on T1WI and long signal intensity on T2WI. Conclusion MRI has the advantage of being able to detect early abnormalities of bone marrow, cartilage damage and to evaluate joint effusion, synovial thickening and soft tissue lesions.

Objective To investigate the changes in serum levels of nitric oxide ( NO) and endothelin ( ET) in type 2 diabetes patients with vascular complications, and to analyze the relationship between these levels and risk factors.Method We selected 98 cases of type 2 diabetes patients.Based on the grouping criteria, the patients were divided into diabetic patients with vascular complications ( group A,49 cases) and those without ( group B,49 cases) .In addition, 44 age-and body mass index-matched healthy cases were selected for control(group C).Height, weight, blood pressure, duration of diabetes, fasting blood glucose, hemoglobin A1c ( HbA1c), blood lipids, and serum levels of NO and ET-1 of all the patients were recorded.Results The NO levels of the two groups with diabetes mellitus were significantly lower than in group C[(43.87 ±12.05)and (53.29 ±11.75)μmol/L versus (66.08 ±16.48)μmol/L, P<0.01], while the ET-1 levels of the two groups with diabetes mellitus were significantly higher [(100.25 ±20.34) and (77.55 ±14.84) versus (53.62 ±8.40)ng/L, P<0.01] than those of the group C.The NO levels of group A were significantly lower than in group B [(43.87 ±12.05) versus (53.29 ±11.75)μmol/L, P<0.01].Moreover, the ET-1 levels of the group A were significantly higher than in group B [(100.25 ±20.34) versus (77.55 ±14.84)ng/L, P<0.01].Between the two diabetic groups, group A showed significantly higher systolic blood pressure(SBP), diastolic blood pressure(DBP), HbA1c, and course than group B (P<0.01).Correlation analysis showed a negative correlation between SBP, DBP, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, and NO a positive correlation between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( HDL-C ) and NO, a negative correlation between HDL-C and ET-1, and a positive correlation between SBP,LDL-C, uric acid, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, and ET-1.Conclusion The serum levels of NO and ET-1 in diabetic patients are evidently abnormal.Vascular endothelium injury will become more serious in patients with complications.Therefore, the serum levels of NO and ET-1 in diabetic patients are correlated with control of blood glucose, blood pressure, and blood lipid levels.
