Objective To study the association between adults'respiratory health and elements concentrations in aerometric particulate matters and provide information about the effect of air pollution sources on human health. Methods Health question nairs were administered to 7 661 male and 7 673 female adults in 4 Chinese cities. 42 elements in particulate matters of both urban and rural areas were analyzed by XRF. The data were analyzed by using two-stage regression, the Logistic regression for the first stage and weighted linear regression for the other. Adult's respiratory health parameters were obtained by 1st stage analysis. The association of the elements in PM and adults'respiratory health parameters of 8 sites in the 4 cities was established. Odds ratios were given using the weighted linear regression model. Results Positive associations between adults'respiratory health and crust elements (Al, Ca, Fe, Si, Ti) and pollution elements (As, Ni, Cd, Pb) in PM2.5-10 or PM2.5 were found (OR=1.00-1.12). Associations of respiratory health parameters with elements in fine particle (OR=1.03-1.61) were stronger than those with elements in coarse particle (OR=1.03-1.12) in the case of the equal element concentrations. Conclusion An assumption of 'crust particle groups' was brought forward to give an explanation to the relation between crust elements and respiratory health. It assumed that the relation is an indirect one, since 'crust particle groups' in PM act as carrier of toxic matters and/or bacteria. The result points out that it should pay much attention to controlling of PM from soil as well as controlling of industrial pollution.

Objective To compare the curative effect of several surgical treatments for closed urethral injury.Methods A retrospective study was done on 200 cases of closed urethral injury treated with various methods from June 2002 to June 2012,including 44 cases of anterior urethral injury treated with endoscopic transurethral realignment (anterior endoscopic group),32 cases of anterior urethral injury with transperineal urethral repair (repair group),42 cases of posterior urethral injury with transperineal urethral termino-terminal anastomosis (anastomosis group),35 cases of posterior urethral injury with endoscopic transurethral realignment (posterior endoscopic group),and 47 cases of posterior urethral injury with endoscopic transurethral and transvesical realignment (combined endoscopic group).Amount of bleeding,operation time,hospital stay as well as expense,and rate of urethral stricture and erectile dysfunction (ED) in treatment of anterior and posterior urethral injury were compared respectively.Curativeeffect and merits and faults of each treatment were observed.Results Anterior endoscopic group achieved less bleeding [(10 ± 5) ml∶ (100 ± 20) ml,P ＜ 0.05],shorter operation time and hospital stay [(15 ± 6) min∶ (40 ± 15) min,(14.2 ± 1.8) min∶ (28.5 ± 1.5) min respectively,P ＜ 0.05],lower hospital expense and urethral stricture rate[(4 715.42 ± 225.43) RMB∶ (6 886.46 ± 246.78) RMB,39％ ∶ 63％ respectively,P ＜ 0.05] as compared with repair group,but there was no statistical difference in ED rate between the two groups.Whereas in anastomosis group,the most bleeding [(200 ± 30) ml],longest operation time [(60 ± 20) minutes] and hospital stay [(28.7 ± 2.3) days],and highest hospital expense [(6 964.27 ± 275.69) RMB] and urethral stricture rate (95 ％) were detected (P ＜ 0.05).Posterior endoscopic group presented less bleeding [(15 ± 6) ml∶ (50 ± 12) ml,P ＜ 0.05] and shorter operation time [(21.4 ± 1.7) min∶ (21.2 ± 1.5) min,P ＜ 0.05] as compared with combined endoscopic group,but there were no statistical differences in hospital stay as well as expense and urethral stricture rate between the two groups.Moreover,ED rate was not statistically different among anastomosis group,posterior endoscopic group and combined endoscopic group.Conclusions Endoscopic surgery is superior to traditional surgery in terms of blood loss,operation time,hospital stay,and hospital cost.Besides,urethral stricture and ED rates are closely related to the location and severity of injury.

Several of the genetic models and environmental risk factor models were used in the animal model study in autism.The BTBR T+ Itpr3tf(BTBR) mice are an inbred strain and have emerged as strong candidates to serve as models of a range of autism-relevant behaviors, showing deficiencies in social behaviors and reduced or unusual ultrasonic vocalizations as well as increased repetitive self-grooming.There are increasing investigations targeted to ameliorating the behavioral phenotypes of autism in BTBR mice.This review briefly summarizes the advance in the research on the BTBR mice model of autism.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of EUS-guided aspiration biopsy for wall-thickened gastric lesions. Methods A retrospective study was performed in 45 patients who were diagnosed as having thickened gastric wall by EUS examination.Pathological and follow-up results of routine endoscopy and EUS-guided aspiration biopsy were analyzed,with the surgical results and follow-up outcome as the golden standard.The positive rate of routine endoscopy and EUS-guided aspiration biopsy were compared. Results In routine biopsy,gastric cancer was confirmed in 6,lymphoma in 3,dysplasia in 6,Menetrier′s disease in 2 and inflammatory changes in 28.EUS-guided aspiration biopsy was conducted in 45 patients,and gastric cancer was confirmed in 18,lymphoma in 5,dysplasia in 4,Menetrier′s disease in 2 and inflammatory changes in 16.The final pathological and follow-up results confirmed 21 gastric cancer,6 lymphoma,2 dys-plasia,2 Menetrier′s disease,other tumors in 4 and inflammatory changes in 10. The accuracy rate of routine biopsy and EUS-guided aspiration biopsy was 51. 11%( 23/ 45 ) and 82. 22%( 37/ 45 )respectively. Conclusion EUS-guided aspiration biopsy can yield a higher positive rate than endoscopic biopsy.
