1.Health Effects of Dioxins Pollution
Journal of Environment and Health 2001;18(2):125-128
Dioxins were a family of chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons mainly coming from combustion process with the presence of a chlorine donor and the chlorine-treatment process in chemical industries. Dioxins had been proved to be one of the most toxic materials in environment in recent studies ,and to present carcinogenesis ,teratogenesis ,immunotoxicity,reproductive toxicity and endocrine toxicity ect. With the development of the industrialization ,the dioxins pollution tended to become more and more serious ,which had severely threatened human health. This paper presented a review on the molecular structure,physicochemical characteristics ,pollution sources and degradation ways in environment and impacts of dioxins on human health.

The aim of this study was to explore the myocardial ultrastructure of experimental uremic rats and the effect of myocardiocyte succinate dehydrogenase(SDH) and free cytosolic calcium changes on membrane channel. By making a uremia model in rats, changes of SDH activation was observed by quantitative enzyme cytochemistry methods and membrane calcium channel was checked by laser scanning confocal microscopy. The results showed that with the uremia becoming heavier, myocardiocyte membrane was rolled and broken, myofibrils were swollen and broken. The quantity of mitochondria with SDH products significantly decreased, while activation of cell membrane calcium channel markedly increased and cytosolic calcium piled up. It is suggested that impaired myocardial membrane, decreased contents of mitochondrial function enzyme and cytosolic calcium overload are the pathophisiological basis leading to cardiac dysfunction in uremia.

Objective To investigate the relationship between coexisting depression and anxiety (CDA)and quality of life of female nurses in general hospitals.Methods Seven hundred and ninety-three female nurses completed Zung' s Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS),Zung' s Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and the World Health Organization' s Quality of Life Questionnaire-Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF).According to the cut-off scores of SDS and SAS,all subjects were divided into 4 groups (non-depression and non-anxiety,pure depression,pure anxiety,and CDA).Group differences in SDS,SAS and WHOQOL-BREF scores were compared.Results Of these 4 groups,CDA group had the highest SDS and SAS scores (P < 0.001) (SDS scores:(34.3 ±5.4),(47.1 ±4.0),(39.4 ± 2.4) and (49.7 ±4.2)) and the lowest WHOQOL-BREF scores (P≤0.033)(WHOQOL-BREF physical domain scores:(15.6 ± 2.0),(13.8 ± 2.0),(13.6 ± 1.6) and (12.1 ± 2.0)).The corresponding stratification analysis (controlling for confounding factors) showed consistent results.Conclusion CDA nurses have the most severe depressive and anxious symptoms and the worst quality of life,and thus are the key target population of mental health service.

Objectives:To explore the influnce of nutritional support treatment on the prognosis in patients with severe acute nectrotizing pancreatitis. Methods:The patients were divided into experimental group (35 cases of 1995 1999) and control group (33 cases of 1990~1994).The biochemical indicators complications and mortality rate were retrospectiverly analyzed between groups. Results:After treatment of 3 days,the amylase,transaminase,BUN,WBC and glucose in experimental group decreased significantly.TLC after treatment in experimental group was significantly different( P

Total 52 patients with breast lesions underwent dynamic contrast-enhanced breast MRI; and the breast vascularization was scored on the MRI vascular maps with a range of 0 to 3. The mean number of vessels per ipsilateral breast in malignant cases was higher than that of benign cases (3.8±2.0 vs. 1.3± 1.0; P=0.000). When the breast vascularity score 0-1 was defined as benign and 2-3 was defined as malignant, the sensitivity and specificity was 79% and 83%, respectively. Results indicate that dynamic contrast-enhanced breast MRI is of value in diagnosis of malignant breast lesions.

Objective To evaluate the role of transvaginal color Doppler ultrasound measurements of endometrial thickness,endometrium and subendometrial blood distribution patterns and flow index in predicting endometrial receptivity and pregnancy outcome of freezing embryo transfer(FET).Methods 468 cycles FET were analysed retrospectively.Endometrial thickness,endometrium and subendometrial blood distribution patterns,pulsatility index (PI),resistance index (RI),systolic /diastolic ratio (S/D) of endometrial and subendometrial blood flows with transvaginal ultrasonography were measured on the day of progesterone initiation.Based on the clinical pregnancy or not,patients were divided into two groups.The comparison of these indicators were carried out between pregnant group and non pregnant group.Results The endometrium and subendometrial blood distribution patterns had statistical difference between the two groups(P <0.05),the clinical pregnancy rate of Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ blood distribution patterns were 31.0%,62.5%,79.0% respectively.In the pregnancy group,the S/D,PI,and RI of endometrium were significantly lower than those in the nonpregnant group (P < 0.05),and there was no significant difference between the pregnant group and nonpregnant group in endometrial thickness(P >0.05).Conclusions Endometrium and subendometrial blood distribution patterns and flow index measured with transvaginal color Doppler ultrasound could assess endometrial receptivity and guide the time selecting of FET transplantation.

Objective To analyze the significance of levels and combined detection of plasma homocysteine(Hcy),high-sensitivity C reactive protein(hs-CRP) and lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2) in patients with ischemic cerebral stroke(ICS).Methods A total of 140 patients with ICS were selected into ICS group,and 100 healthy individuals were recruited in the control group.The plasma levels of Hcy,hs-CRP,Lp-PLA2 were examined,then the positive rates of them were statistically analyzed.Analyzed the value of the levels and joint detection of Hcy,hs-CRP and Lp-PLA2.Results The plasma levels and the positive rates of Hcy,hs-CRP and Lp-PLA2 in ICS group were statistically higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve of combined detection of Hcy,hs-CRP and Lp-PLA2 in diagnosis of ICS was 0.949,the sensitivity was 0.850,and the specificity was 0.807,which were higher than Hcy,hs-CRP and Lp-PLA2 alone.Conclusion The plasma levels of Hcy,hs-CRP and Lp-PLA2 increase in ICS patients,and the combined detection of the three indicators might improve the early diagnostic value of ICS.
