Infant hair is a good medium to assess the cumulative exposure level of infant in the mother ' s body. Chlorinated persistent organic pollutants were ubiquitous and with the highest volume concentration in the human body. In this experiment, 20 infant hairs were collected from Beijing. The sample was overnight incubated in HCl, extracted with the mixture of hexane and dichloromethane, and cleaned up by a cartridge filled with alumina and acidified silica. The final eluate was concentrated, and 16 kinds of typical chlorinated persistent organic pollutants were detected with gas chromatography_high resolution mass spectrometry ( HRGC_MS). The results showed that the detection limit of the target compounds in sample was 1. 00-2. 50 μg/kg, the recovery of surrogate in all samples was more than 67 . 6%, and the range of recoveries for target compounds in spiked sample was 62. 5%-92. 3%. The positive rate is 100% for hexachlorobenzene,β_HCH and p, pˊ_DDE, 85% for γ_HCH, 50% for PCB28, and 40% for PCB52. The concentrations of Hexachlorobenzene, HCHs, DDTs and PCBs were 5. 48-8. 40 μg/kg, 3. 86-27. 1 μg/kg, 1. 16-18. 3 μg/kg and 2. 20-22. 1 μg/kg, respectively. The average concentrations were 7. 84 μg/kg for hexachlorobenzene, 6. 93 μg/kg for HCHs, 5. 53 μg/kg for DDTs, and 3. 44 μg/kg for PCBs. The method and the analysis results can be used to evaluate the accumulation level and cumulative exposure level of 16 target compounds for fetal in motherˊs body.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the impact of nicotine- and tar-free cigarette smoke extract (fCSE) on the serum testosterone (T) level and erectile function of male rats.
METHODSWe randomized 30 male SD rats to three groups of equal number to receive subcutaneous injection of PBS (1.0 ml / 300 g body weight per day), fCSE (1.0 ml/300 g body weight per day), and reduced glutathione hormone (GSH, 200 mg per kg body weight per day) in addition to fCSE (fCSE + GSH), respectively, all for 8 weeks. Then we evaluated the erectile function of the rats by measuring the maximal intracavernous pressure (MICP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), ICP/MAP ratio, time of stimulation to MICP (Tmax), and cavernosal filling fate (CFR). We determined the serum T level, the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) , malondialdehyde (MDA), and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in the cavernosal tissue, and also observed the morphological changes of the corpus cavernosum.
RESULTSCompared with the controls, the rats of the fCSE group showed obvious decreases in the levels of serum T ([5.37 ± 1.43] vs [3.22 ± 1.11] μg/L), NOS ([2.90 ± 0.27] vs [1.67 ± 0.18] U/mg) , and SOD ([18.41 ± 1.09] vs [13.36 ± 1.18] U/mg prot) and erectile function-related indexes MICP ([85.92 ± 6.36] vs [58.99 ± 10.76] mmHg), MICP/MAP (0.86 ± 0.09 vs [0.56 ± 0.08]), and CFR (2.14 ± 0.44 vs 0.89 ± 0.44), but markedly increased Tmax ([29.90 ± 5.78] vs [42.90 ± 8.56]s), with a positive correlation between the serum T level and CFR (r = 0. 364, P < 0.05). Masson staining revealed a lower ratio of the corpus cavernosum smooth muscle tissue to collagen fiber in the fCSE group (0.27 ± 0.04) than in the control (0.98 ± 0.12). Compared with the fCSE group, the fCSE + GSH group exhibited significantly improved MICP ([58.99 ± 10.76 ] vs [77.95 ± 7.71] mmHg), MICP/MAP (0.56 ± 0.08 vs 0.77 ± 0.09), and CFR (0.89 ± 0.44] vs 1.76 ± 0.42) and shortened Tmax ([42.90 ± 8.56 ] vs [32.10 ± 5.84 ] s). The ratio of the corpus cavernosum smooth muscle tissue to collagen fiber was higher in the fCSE + GSH than in the fCSE group (0.77 ± 0.09 vs 0.27 ± 0.04) but still lower than in the control (0.98 ± 0.12).
CONCLUSIONNicotine- and tar-free cigarette smoke extract reduces the serum T level and erectile function of rats, which is related to oxidative stress. Antioxidant therapy can improve erectile function but has a limited value for morphological protection of the penile tissue.

In view of the fact that blood vessels can reflect, to a certain degree, the pathologic changes of cardiovascular diseases, research workers count it necessary to take quick and accurate segmentation of neointimal ultrasound images. The segmentation is faster owing to the reconciled signed distance function added into the classical C-V mode, thus avoiding the step of re-initialization. Moreover, the curve evolution is controlled by external energy item. The displacement of boundary points is calculated. The result shows that the improved model can effectively and accurately extract the contour of neointimal ultrasound images. The curve can not only assess the extracted boundary but also reflect the abnormality of vascular or cardiac rhythm.

Objective To explore the imaging manifestations of low-grade central osteosarcoma (LGCOS) and discuss their pathological features.Methods Twelve patients of LGCOS proved by surgery and pathology were analyzed retrospectively and a review of related literature was performed.All twelve patients had plain X-ray,1 1 patients CT examination,and 10 patients contrast-enhanced MR scan.Imaging features of the LGCOS were summarized,their clinical and pathological manifestations were discussed for differential diagnosis.Their prognosis was evaluated with followed up examination.Results Of the 12patients with LGCOS,six tumors were located in the distal femur,3 in the proximal tibia,2 in the proximal femur and 1 in the talus.The radiographic features of LGCOS were variable.There were 7 patients with predominantly osteolytic destruction,3 patients with mixed sclerotic and lyric changes,with well-defined margins,2 patients with Osteogenic changes on X-ray.On CT,9 patients showed a clear cortical breach,5 patients with soft tissue involvement,6 patients with peripheral incompletely sclerotic zone,2 patients with periosteal reaction.On MRI,there were 10 patients with abnormal signal in medullary cavity,8 patients with soft tissue masses,and all 10 patients exhibited contrast enhancement.The microscopic features of LGCOS were characteristically bland,comprising spindle cells arranged in interlacing fascicles in a heavily collagenous background with variable bone or osteoid production.There were mild nuclear atypia and rare mitoses.In four patients,misdiagnoses were made by biopsy or surgical pathology as fibrous dysplasia or fibrous histiocytoma and other benign lesions,all four patients had postoperative recurrence.Conclusions LGCOS should be differentiated form fibrous dysplasia,non-ossifying fibroma,and other benign lesions.An accurate diagnosis can be made in most cases by careful pathological and radiological correlation.
