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.

Objective To study the effect of plant Coleus forskohlii active elements Isoforskolin(ISOF)and CT-E(analogs mixture of Isoforskolin)on human neutrophill(PMN)in vitro in order to uncover the mechanism of their properties of mitigating acute lung injury(ALI).Method The effects of ISOF and CF-E on PMN aggregation induced by N-formyl-methiony-leucyl-phenylalanine(fMLP)was performed by using a 4-channel platelet aggregometer.Cytometry Was applied to analyze the effect of tested samples on adhension between PMN and endothelial cells(ECV-304)activated by using lipopolysaccharides(LPS).Expression of LPS-induced PMN adhension molecules was determined with flow cytometry.Radioimmunoassay Was applied to detect the level of TNT-α liberated bv PMN and intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate(cAMP)level of PMN.Results It was found that ISOF(25,50,100 μmnol/L)and CF-E(1.25,2.5,5 mg/ml)inhibitted PMN aggregation induced by fMLP,PMN adhemion to ECV-304 indeed by LPS,expression of PMN adhesion molecules,and TNF-α level released by PMN.ISOF and CF-E also increased intracellular cAMP level of PMN.Condusions ISOF and CF-E inhibit PMN aggregation,adhension and adhension molecules,and TNF-α released by PMN,while they increase intracellular cAniP level of PMN.It suggests that their specific alleviating the ALI by the mechanism of the modulation of PMN function.

Objective To compare patellar ring,Kirschner wire tension band and patellar ring plus Kirschner wire in fixation for treatment of patella fractures.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the 285 patients with patellar fracture who had been treated between September 2009 and January 2016.They were 155 men and 130 women,with an average age of 45.5 years (from 18 to 70 years).Their fractures included 176 transverse,28 longitudinal split and 81 comminuted ones.They were divided into 3 groups according to their different internal fixation methods:patellar ring fixation (98 cases),Kirschner wire tension band (92 cases),patellar ring plus Kirschner wire fixation (95 cases).The 3 groups were compared in terms of operative time,intraoperative bleeding,fracture healing time,knee function by B(o)stman score at the last follow-up and postoperative complications.Results The operative time in the patellar ring group(58.9 ±6.4 min) was significantly shorter than in the Kirschner wire group (71.8 ± 7.8 min) and in the patellar ring plus Kirschner wire group (74.4 ± 8.0 min) (P ＜ 0.05).There were no statistical significant differences between the 3 groups in fracture healing time and intraoperative bleeding (P ＞ 0.05).The good to excellent rate of knee function at the last follow-up in the Kirschner wire tension band group was 100.0％ (92/92),significantly higher than in the patellar ring group (90.8％,89/98) and in the patellar ring plus Kirschner wire group (91.6％,87/95) (P ＜ 0.017).There was no significant difference in postoperative complication rate between the patellar ring fixation group (2.0％,2/98),Kirschner wire tension band fixation group (1.1％,1/92) and the patellar ring plus Kirschner wire group (2.1％,2/95) (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Internal fixation with Kirschner wire tension band has definite curative effect on patellar fractures,showing the advantages of less operative invasion,fewer postoperative complications,better functional recovery of the affected knee joint,and lower price over the other 2 internal fixation methods.

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.

Objective To investigate the distribution of water-borne fluoride and the current status of water defluoridation project by improving drinking water quality in endemic fluorosis areas in Shandong province,and to provide scientific basis for making strategies in prevention and control of the disease. Methods According to "the National Technical Scheme for Endemic Disease Control in 2004, 2005 and 2006", 113 endemic fluorosis diseased counties(cities, and districts) of the province's 17 cities were screened in order to investigate the fluoride level in drinking water in fluorosis villages, recheck the fluoride level after implementing the water defluoridation project, and investigate the current status of the water defluoridation project. The fluoride level in drinking water was determined by F-ion selective electrode. Results There were a total of 5816 water defluoridation projects in the province. Most of them were carried out by drilling a deep well to get under-ground water. The wells still in good condition were accounted for 72.80% (4234/5816). Intermittent operated wells were accounted for 3.11% (181/5816). Abandoned wells were accounted for 24.09%(1401/5816). Level of water fluoride was determined in 6940samples from fluorosis villages(villages that not carry out the water defluoridation project as well as villages carried out the water defluoridation project with abandoned wells were included) and the value that lower or equal to 1.00mg/L was determined in 2987 villages which accounted for 43.04% (2987/6940). Level of water fluoride that over 1.00 mg/L was found in 3953 villages which accounted for 56.96% (3593/6940), and the highest level of water fluoride was 11.33 mg/L. Level of water fluoride were determined in 4415 samples from water defluoridation project and the value lower or equal to 1.00 mg/L was in 2983 wells which accounted for 65.53%(2983/4415). The value over 1.00 mg/L was in 1522 wells which accounted for 34.47%(1522/4415), the highest value of water fluoride was 9.71 mg/L. Conclusions Level of water fluoride in up to 1/2 of the villages and 1/3 of the projects, is still higher than the standard in Shandong province. Nearly 1/4 of the project has been abandoned. The current situation for endemic fluorosis control is still not good in the province, countermeasures for endemic fluorosis must be carried out as soon as possible and surveillance of water defluoridation project must be strengthened.

Objective To prepare the standard molecular weight fragment mixtures. Methods Primers were designed to prepare clones which contained different sizes of standard molecular weight fragments. The template used for amplification of insert fragments was the pMD18-T vector. Bacteria culture and plasmid extraction were used to obtain abundant target fragment. Unlabeled DNA fragments were prepared by double digestion of the recombinant plasmids, and the fluorescent adaptor was prepared by annealing with two partial reverse complimentary DNA fragments. The unlabeled fragments and fluorescent adaptor were connected by DNA ligation reaction assisted with T4 DNA ligase. In this way, different sizes of standard molecular weight fragments were prepared. Standard molecular weight fragment mixture was finally prepared by mixing all the fragments together before purification. Results Ten standard molecular weight fragments of different sizes were prepared. The sizes of each fragment are 80bp, 124bp, 194bp, 224bp, 254bp, 304bp, 349bp, 399bp, 424bp and 454bp. The internal standard could accurately determine the size of PCR products amplified with the DNATyper15 kit. Conclusion Using this method, the standard molecular weight fragment mixture which meet the requirements of research and laboratory use was prepared, perfectly providing a new method for preparation of the DNA molecular weight standards. The peaks and the size of the prepared DNA internal lane standard are correct, which can be used to calculate the DNA fragments size in capillary electrophoresis.
