1.Pollution and Control of Formaldehyde from Urea-formaldehyde Resin Used in Making Artificial Wood Board
Journal of Environment and Health 2007;0(09):-
The present state of industrial production and usage of the artificial wood board, the main cause of formaldehyde release in its applications, the adverse effects of formaldehyde on human health and the method of lowering formaldehyde emission were discussed in the present paper. Through decreasing the mole ratio of F/U, using two or many times condensation technology, adding formaldehyde scavenger and modifier to the urea-formaldehyde adhesive resin, eliciting free formaldehyde by vacuum dehydration, the urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin adhesive that reaches the environmental standard will be developed.

Objective:
To study the mutation of ENG, ACVRL1, and SMAD4 genes in one of a family of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) and explore its molecular pathogenesis.
Methods:
A family spectrum of a patient with a clinical diagnosis of HHT was surveyed. Peripheral blood samples from proband and their eldest were collected, and ENG, ACVRL1 and SMAD4 gene analysis was performed by chip capture high-throughput sequencing. The mutation detected was verified by Sanger.
Results:
9 of the 71 family members were diagnosed with HHT with the main manifestation of recurrent nasal bleeding. Genetic analysis showed that the proband and the eldest son of ENG gene exon 9 frameshift mutation: c.1502-1503insGG (p.Gly501GlyfsX18) , and mutations in ACVRL1 and SMAD4 genes were not detected.
Conclusion
The frameshift mutation c.1502-1503insGG (p.Gly501GlyfsX18) of the ENG gene is the genetic basis for the pathogenesis of this HHT family.

Objective:To clarify the effects of bortezomib combined with or without siramesine on the proliferation of multiple myeloma cell lines, the expression changes of transcription factor EBC (TFEB) nuclear translocation and the level of autophagy, and to provide basis for further exploring the regulation mechanism of transcription factor TFEB on autophagy.Methods:The multiple myeloma cell lines RPMI8226 and U266 were cultured in vitro, and the multiple myeloma cells were treated with a certain concentration of bortezomib and siramesine. The changes of cell proliferation inhibition were detected by CCK-8 method. Real time PCR and Western blot were used to detect the relative expression of TFEB, autophagy-related factor LC3B, Beclin1, p62, LAMP1 mRNA and protein.Results:As the concentration of bortezomib increased and the duration of action increased, the proliferation inhibition rates of the two cell lines gradually increased ( P<0.05) . The combination of the two drugs has a synergistic inhibitory effect on the proliferation of the above-mentioned multiple myeloma cell lines ( P<0.05) . In the blank control group, single drug group, and combination drug group, the relative expression of TFEB mRNA and protein in the cytoplasm decreased sequentially ( P<0.05) , and the relative expression of TFEB mRNA and protein in the nucleus increased sequentially ( P<0.05) . The relative expression of autophagy-related factors LC3B, Beclin1, LAMP1 mRNA and protein increased sequentially, and the relative expression of p62 mRNA and protein decreased sequentially ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:Bortezomib and siramesine can synergistically inhibit the growth of multiple myeloma cells, which is related to the increased autophagy expression in multiple myeloma cell lines and the expression of TFEB with nuclear translocation is also enhanced.

Objective? To explore the related factors of urinary incontinence among patients with surgery for lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Methods? From 1st June 2017 to 31st May 2018, we selected 336 medical records of LDH patients with surgical therapy at a ClassⅢ Grade A hospital and a ClassⅡGrade A hospital in Shanghai by convenience sampling. Single factor analysis and multiple factors analysis were used to patients' basic data, diagnosis, segments of LDH, symptoms, complications, types of surgery, types of anesthesia, laboratory examination, patient-controlled analgesia and indwelling urinary catheters. Results? A total of 336 medical records of LDH patients were investigated with 29.5% for the incidence of urinary incontinence. Multiple factors analysis showed that the independent risk factors of patients with surgery for LDH included 9 factors involving the childbearing history, complications (diabetes, heart disease, cerebral infarction, lumbar spinal stenosis), symptoms (constipation and urinary tract infection), indwelling urinary catheters and indwelling days (P<0.05). Conclusions? The incidence of urinary incontinence of patients with surgery for LDH is high and is related to many factors. Medical staff should carry out screening in time and early intervention for high-risk patients according to related factors to reduce the incidence of urinary incontinence.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of psychological nursing pathway for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who are receiving 125I particle implantation therapy.Methods A total of 130 HCC patients,who were scheduled to receive 125I particle implantation therapy,were randomly and equally divided into the study group and the control group with 65 patients in each group.Traditional routine psychological nursing method was conducted for patients of the control group,while routine psychological nursing that was based on psychological nursing pathway was carried out for patients of the study group.The patient's conditions of both groups were evaluated by using self-rating anxiety scale (SAS),trait coping style questionnaire (TCSQ) and the quality of life assessment scale (SF-36).The results were statistically analyzed with t test.Results After nursing intervention,SAS scores of the study group and the control group were (43.76±6.25) and (46.16±7.19) points respectively,the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=-3.92,P<0.001).The PC and NC values of the TCSQ score in the study group were (41.61±4.82) points and (20.53±5.88) points respectively,while those in the control group were (37.32±4.62) and (22.80±6.93) respectively,the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (t=5.944 and t=-3.316 respectively,P<0.01).One month after discharge,the mental health scores of the study group and the control group were (74.58±8.68) points and (71.53±8.16) points respectively,the emotion function scores were (79.46±10.05) points and (75.13±15.09) points respectively,and the differences in both mental health score and emotion function score between the two groups were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Standardized psychological nursing pathway can make nurses more clear about the content of psychological nursing work and enable nurses to actively plan and complete psychological nursing care measures,so that patients can get prospective,individual and comprehensive psychological care to alleviate his or her negative emotion,and to improve the quality of life.

Objective To understand the relationship between air pollutants and digestive system cancers, and to provide a reference for future research and prevention and control of digestive system cancer. Methods All relevant literature published in English between 1970-2022 was searched through the databases of PubMed, web of science and Embase, and meta-analysis was used to explore the effects of specific air pollutants on digestive system cancers. Results PM2.5 was able to increase the risk of incidence or mortality of total digestive cancers by 11% (1.05 to 1.17). For specific cancers, PM2.5 was only associated with an increased risk of liver cancer in this study, with a combined RR (95% CI) of 1.31 (1.19 to 1.46), while there was no statistically significant association with other specific digestive cancers ( P>0.05). NO2 increased the risk of incidence or mortality of total digestive cancers by 3% (1.00 to 1.07). Conclusion For specific digestive system cancers, PM2.5 has the most pronounced effect on liver cancer. More evidence is needed to support the relationship between NO2 and cancer. Currently, it has been observed that NO2 has a negative effect on overall digestive cancers. This study provides insights for the prevention and control of digestive system cancer in countries and regions with high PM2.5 and NO2 concentrations.
