Digested the soil sample by in vitro device and determined the content of Cd, Pb, Zn in the solution in the simulated stomach phase and intestine phase respectively with ICP-MS after centrifuging. Calculated the exposure and assess health risk. Results Bioaccessibility of Cd, Pb and Zn at the stomach phase was 21%-33%, 2%-28%, 33%-43% respectively in the polluted areas, and 27%, 23%, 95% in the control area; At the intestine phase was 16%-19%, 3.4%-4.9%, 8%-14% in polluted areas and 11%,2.6%,18% in control area respectively. The amount of available Cd, Pb and Zn in the stomach phase was 0.04-1.46 ?g/d, 3.09-5.53 ?g/d, 3.86-9.39 ?g/d in polluted areas and 0.01 ?g/d, 0.74 ?g/d ,5.64 ?g/d in control area for children, and 0.01-0.36 ?g/d, 0.77-3.88 ?g/d, 0.97-9.85 ?g/d in polluted areas and 0.00 ?g/d. 0.19 ?g/d, 1.41 ?g/d in the control area for adult ; at intestine phase the amount of available Cd, Pb and Zn was 0.03-0.71 ?g/d, 0.50-9.92 ?g/d, 1.26-9.55 ?g/d in polluted areas and 0.00 ?g/d, 0.08 ?g/d, 1.07 ?g/d in the control area respectively for children, 0.01-0.18 ?g/d, 0.11-2.48 ?g/d, 0.31-2.39 ?g/d in the polluted areas and 0.00 ?g/d,0.02?g/d,0.27 ?g/d in the control area respectively for adult. Conclusion Heavy metals exposure through soil-mouth pathway will increase the total health risk of heavy metal to exposed population.

Redox signal transduction, especially the oxidative modification of proein thiols, correlates with many diseases and becomes an expanding research area. However, there was rare method for quick and specific detection of protein thiols and their oxidative modification in living cells. In this article, we review the current chemical strategies for the detection and quantification of protein thiols and related cysteine oxidation. We also look into the future of the development of fluorescent probes for protein thiols and their potential application in the research of reactive cysteine proteomes and early detection of redox-related diseases.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effects of 3 kinds of serum containing blood-activating and stasis-eliminating TCM compound formulas on aggressive behavior,Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transduction and transcriptional activator (STAT) pathway of glioma U251 cells. METHODS:Rats were randomly divided into normal saline group (5 mL/kg),Taohong Siwu decoction group(5.7 g/kg),Xuefu Zhuyu decoction(8.5 g/kg)and Didang decoction(2.8 g/kg),calculated by crude drug,intragastrically administrated once a day,for 10 d. 10% drug-containing serum culture medium was prepared after 2 h of last administration. After 10% drug-containing serum culture medium intervening U251 cells for 1 week,Transwell method was conducted to detect the cell invasion rate, Western blot was adopted to detect the metal matrix protease 2 (MMP-2), MMP-9, phosphorylated JAK2 (p-JAK2),phosphorylated STAT3(p-STAT3)protein expression;and real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction method was used to detect MMP-2,MMP-9 mRNA expression. RESULTS:Compared with blank serum,Xuefu Zhuyu decoction drug-containing serum can reduce cell invasion rate (P<0.05),decrease the MMP-2,MMP-9 mRNA and its protein expression, and p-JAK2,p-STAT3 protein expression in cells (P<0.05 or P<0.01),while there was no significant difference in above-men-tioned indexes in Taohong Siwu decoction drug-containing serum group and Didang drug-containing serum group(P>0.05). CON-CLUSIONS:In the 3 kinds of blood-activating and stasis-eliminating TCM compound formulas,Xuefu Zhuyu decoction shows sig-nificant invasive effect on inhibiting U251 cells;the mechanism may be related to inhibiting the activation of JAK2/STAT3 signal pathway and decreasing MMP-2,MMP-9 gene and protein expressions.

Objective:To analyze the nosazontology of pharyngeal paraesthesia and investigate the treatment. Method: Two hundred and twelve misdiagnosed pharyngeal paraesthesia patients were investigated by history inquiry,routine examination, 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring, barium X-ray of the oesophagus, anxietas-athy-mia private measuring scale, coefficient of variation of the R-R(CVR-R), bioavailable testosterone detection(Bio-T), erection experiment and questionnaire about man climacteric syndrome. The concomitant symptoms and positions of pharyngeal paresthesia were also studied. We adopted individuallied sequential multi-therapy for every patient according to the cause of disease. Result:The cause of disease within 212 cases of pharyngeal paraesthesia included 62 psychictrauma,32 endocrine system disease,106 upper gastrointestinol disease, circulatory disease,9 circulatory disease,3 idiopathic. With individualized treatment, 110 cases had fully recovered, 63 cases excellence and 31 cases utility,and the efficiency rate was 96.23%. Conclusion:Pharyngeal paraesthesia can be caused by several factors. Thorough examination and comprehensive analysis should be applied to those incurable patient who has been treated for a long time. Short course of treatment and irrational drug use are the main causes of short term recurrence and unsatisfactory curative effect.

Objective :
To explore the influencing factors for maternal anemia during the third trimester of pregnancy, so as to provide the evidence for the effective prevention of anemia.
Methods :
Data of parturients, who received prenatal care and delivered at Hangzhou Women's Hospital from October to December of 2019 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. The obstetric electronic medical record system of this hospital was used to collect general information of the subjects. Serum ferritin, serum vitamin B12, serum folic acid and hemoglobin were determined at the second and third trimester. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for anemia in the third trimester.
Results :
A total of 1 143 parturients were enrolled, with a median age of 29 ( interquartile range: 4 ) years. Among them, 1 050 cases had normal weight before pregnancy, accounting for 91.86%; 267 cases were multiparas, accounting for 23.36%; 74 cases of anemia occurred during the third trimester of pregnancy, accounting for 6.92%.Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the multipara(OR=1.714,95%CI: 1.032-2.848), iron deficiency duiring the second trimester(OR=3.301,95%CI: 1.401-7.781), iron deficiency during the third trimester (OR=14.134,95%CI: 1.944-102.774)and folate deficiency during the third trimester(OR=2.960,95%CI: 1.295-6.766)were influencing factors for anemia during the third trimester.
Conclusion
Anemia during the third trimester of pregnancy is related to iron deficiency during the second and third trimesters, folic acid deficiency during the third trimester, and multipara.
