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.

Objective To study the effects of sulphur dioxide(SO 2 )inhalation on the blood pressure of rats.Methods The male Wistar rats were exposed to28.6,57.3and114.4mg /m 3 SO 2 six hours each day for7days respectively by the tech-nique of dynamic fumigation and the ratsblood pressures were measured using RBP-1model blood pressure meter every day af-ter the SO 2 inhalation.Results28.6mg /m 3 SO 2 inhalation could cause a decrease of the ratsblood pressures compared with the background value at3rd and4th day(P

Objective To explore the change and its significance of blood concentrations of high sensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) and D-Dimer in patients with acute cerebral infarction caused by internal carotid artery.Methods The blood levels of D-Dimer and hs-CRP in 69 patients with acute cerebral infarction were measured,and compared with the normal controls.The relationships between the levels of hs-CRP and D-Dimer and NIHSS or the areas of infarction were analyzed.Results Compared with those in normal control group,the blood levels of D-Dimer and hs-CRP in patients with acute cerebral infarction increased significantly(all P

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 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.

Based on domestic and international studies on Career-Life-Cycle theories,this paper analyzed the scientific research data of doctors to elucidate characters of varied steps in clinical and research practices,trying to construct Research Life-Cycle theory for doctors and provide theoretical references of talent cultivation in hospitals.

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.

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 study the effects and mechanism of Octreotide to inhibit the proliferation of human gastric cancer cells in vitro . Methods Human gastric cancer cell line SGC 7901 was treated with Octreotide. Human fibroblast cell line HF and 5 FU were used as control. MTT assay and fluorescent microscopy as well as flow cytometry were performed in this study. Results Octreotide inhibited the growth of SGC 7901 in vitro within certain concentrations. The suppression was quantity dependent but did not occur when up to a certain concentration. There was no difference between Octreotide and 5 FU in their inhibition on SGC 7901. Octreotide had no effects on normal human fibroblast cell line HF. When SGC 7901 was treated with Octreotide, the typical apoptotic bodies were identified by flow cytometry and fluorescent microscopy. Conclusion Octreotide can inhibit the proliferation of human gastric cancer cell line SGC 7901 in vitro . The induction of apoptosis by Octreotide might be the primary mechanism.

Objective To explore the effect of anti-terrorism practices on the psychological health of military policemen.Methods The health statement of 101 soldiers and officers who took part in the anti-terrorism practices was estimated with Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS).ResultsThe total raw score, positive titles average score and negative titles score of SAS of these military policemen were all higher than national norm ( PP<0.05). The total raw score and standrad score of SDS were also higher than national norm, but without statistical meaning( P>0.05); while, the scores of hopelessness and impractical life feeling were significantly lower than national norm ( P<0.01), the scores of apptite decreasing, the weight lighten, easy tired were significantly higher than national norm ( P<0.01).ConclusionThe military policemen have higher anxietical feeling and some level of somatizational depression.
