Abstract:
Arsenic and arsenic compounds have been listed as one of the toxic and harmful environment pollutants, and drinking, seafood intake, use of skincare products and inhalation of tobacco smoke are main routes of exposure to human arsenic exposure. The adverse effects of arsenic on pregnant outcomes have been paid much attention. Prenatal exposure to high-level arsenic has been found to increase the risk of spontaneous abortion among pregnant women. Based on national and international epidemiological studies on the correlation between arsenic exposure and spontaneous abortion during the period between 1992 and 2020, we review the association between arsenic exposure and spontaneous abortion and describe the mechanisms underlying spontaneous abortion caused by arsenic exposure, so as to provide insights into early prevention of spontaneous abortion.

In this paper, the chloroplast psbK-psbI intergenic spacers of 18 species of Dendrobium and their adulterants were amplified and sequenced, and then the sequence characteristics were analyzed. The sequence lengths of chloroplast psbK-psbI regions of Dendrobium ranged from 474 to 513 bp and the GC contents were 25.4%-27.6%. The variable sites were 71 while the informative sites were 46. The inter-specific genetic distances calculated by Kimura 2-parameter (K2P) of Dendrobium were 0.006 1-0.058 1, with an average of 0.028 4. The K2P genetic distances between Dendrobium species and Bulbophyllum odoratissimum were 0.093 2-0.120 4. The NJ tree showed that the Dendrobium species can be easily differentiated from each other and 6 samples of the inspected Dendrobium species were identified successfully through sequencing the psbK-psbI intergenic spacer. Therefore, the chloroplast psbK-psbI intergenic spacer can be used as a candidate marker to identify Dendrobium species and its adulterants.
