1.Advances in in vitro Tests in Evaluating Bioavailability of Heavy Metals in Contaminated Soil via Oral Intake
Journal of Environment and Health 1993;0(03):-
As the intake routes and hazards to human health of heavy metals were well recognized,therefore the intake amount of heavy metals through foodchain has been effectively controlled and cut down. In many cases,oral ingested soil has become an important source of heavy metals in human. The traditional approach for estimating the bioavailability of heavy metals in oral ingested soil was animal (in vivo)test. Compared with animal test,in vitro test possesses several advantages including satisfactory replicability,time and cost effectiveness. Also,the results of in vitro tests showed well correlation to those of in vitro tests. The progress of development,current status and the methodology of in vitro tests in evaluating bioavailability of heavy metals in contaminated soil via oral intake were reviewed in this article. In vitro test could be used not only to estimate the bioavailability of heavy metals in soil in order to provide information for establishment of soil quality or clean-up criteria with regard to human health,but also to evaluate the effectiveness of soil remediation technologies. The in vitro test has been employed in many developed countries due to its above mentioned advantages. The use of in vitro test for screening of contaminated soil and evaluating the effectiveness of remediation technology is believed to be promising.

Objective To discuss the liver function recovery affected by the portal vein flow in patients who underwent adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation using the right lobe. Methods Seventy-four donors and recipients were included in this study. Intraoperative Doppler ultrasound (IOUS)were performed before splitting the donor liver and 1 hour after the graft reperfusion. The diameter and velocity of portal vein were measured and recorded for calculation of portal vein flow(PVF). Liver function tests were undertaken at the day 2nd,7th, 15th and 30th postoperative,respectively. Results One hour after reperfusion of 74 grafts,the PVF were significantly increased (2. 84 ± 0. 93) fold. Seventy-four grafts were divided into 4 groups according to the different degrees of the increase of PVF. The levels of blood bilirubin total(TBIL) among 4 groups were differently at the day 2nd,7th, 15th and 30th postoperative. High PVF contributed to recipient's prolonged hyperbilirubinemia ( P <0. 001 ). The levels of ALT, AST among 4 groups were differently at the day 7th, 15th and 30th postoperative( P <0. 001). Conclusions Detection of portal vein hemodynamics in living donor liver transplantation by IOUS may assist surgeon to anticipate the graft's function and take surgical therapies to secure the graft and the recipient.

Objective To study the effects of exercise after myocardial infarction on the survival rate and the dynamic functioning of the left ventricle ( LV) . Methods Ninety-six male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to a sedentary sham operation group ( Sed-Sh) , a previous exercise and sham operation group ( PreE-Sh) , a sedentary myocardial infarction ( MI) group ( Sed-MI) , a previous exercise MI group ( PreE-MI) , a post exercise MI group (PostE-MI) and a combined exercise MI group (ComE-MI), each of 16.All of the rats underwent either MI in-duction or a sham MI operation, the PreE groups after exercising for 5 weeks on a treadmill. The Sed groups did not exercise. The Post E-MI group did not exercise before the operation, but performed treadmill exercises for 4 weeks be-ginning 8 weeks after the operation. The ComE-MI group exercised for 5 weeks before and 4 weeks after the operation. All the exercising rats ran on the treadmill for 60 minutes daily, 5 d/wk. Life situation and spontaneous mortality were recorded, and echocardiographic measurements were performed on the4thday and 2, 4, 8 and 12weeks after the oper-ation. All of the rats were sacrificed at the end of the experiment. Results Compared with the Sed-Sh group, the Sed-MI group had significantly larger average LV dimensions at the end of both the diastol ( LVEDd) and the systol (LVEDs, but it had lower average fractional shortening (FS) and a smaller average ejection fraction(EF) at all of the different measuring times. The PreE-MI group had significantly lower average LVEDd and LVEDs, but a signifi-cantly higher FS and EF than the Sed-MI group on the 4th day. However, 2 weeks after the intervention the difference in LVEDd between the two groups was no longer significant. Significantly higher FS and EF were observed in the PostE-MI group at 12 weeks compared to the Sed-MI group. The ComE-MI group had significantly lower average LVEDd and LVEDs, but significantly higher FS and EF at all the time points than the Sed-MI group. The ComE-MI group had a significantly lower average LVEDs but a higher average FS and EF than the PreE-MI group at 12 weeks after the intervention. Conclusion Pre-MI exercise improves LV function significantly at the early stage, though the difference is temporary. Post-MI exercise improves LV function in the longer term. Combined exercise improves LV function the most effectively.

Objective To compare three dimensional arterial spin labeling(3D-ASL) and dynamic susceptibility contrast-perfusion weighted imaging(DSC-PWI) in evaluating the cerebral hemodynamic of Moyamoya disease. Methods Approved by the institutional review board, 26 cases of Moyamoya patients who were diagnosed by DSA were enrolled. Diffusion weighted image, 3D-TOF-MRA, 3D-ASL, DSC-WPI, and T1WI were performed in 3.0 T MR scanner. ROI were positioned in the abnormal perfusion areas and the control area according to the arterial dominant territory to obtain quantitative parameters of perfusion. Perfusion parameters including cerebral blood flow(CBF) of ASL, cerebral blood flow(CBF), cerebral blood volume(CBV), mean transit time(MTT), and time to peak(TTP)of DSC-PWI , and relative parameters (ASL-rCBF, DSC-rCBF, DSC-rCBV, DSC-rMTT, DSC-rTTP) that the ratio of abnormal perfusion area and the control area were calculated. Meanwhile, the areas of the lower perfusion region of ASL and TTP images in the same slice were measured. Difference of the above-mentioned parameters and areas was processed by paired Student′ t test. Furthermore, correlation of relative values of perfusion parameters(ASL-rCBF, DSC-rCBF, DSC-rCBV, DSC-rMTT, and DSC-rTTP) was processed by Pearson correlation test. Results There were significant statistics differences between values of ASL-CBF, DSC-MTT, and DSC-TTP in abnormal perfusion [(28.18 ± 10.19)ml · 100 g-1 · min-1,(7.98 ± 2.22)s,(29.93 ± 3.95)s] and the control areas [(49.50 ± 11.37)ml · 100 g-1 · min-1,(6.07 ± 1.11)s,(27.34 ± 2.58)s] (t=-12.818, 4.193, 6.163, all P<0.01). There was no significant statistics difference in the lower perfusion area between ASL-CBF [(5 729.63 ± 4 563.79) mm2]and DSC-TTP[(5 875.33 ± 4 723.08)mm2](t=-1.774,P>0.05). Furthermore, the Pearson correlation test showed significant linear dependence between ASL-rCBF(0.56±0.14)and DSC-rMTT(1.34± 0.42), and DSC-rTTP(1.09 ± 0.69)(r=-0.630,-0.748, P<0.01). Conclusions There is a correlation between 3D-ASL and DSC-PWI in assessing the magnitude and areas of the reduction of blood perfusion of Moyamoya patients. Moreover, the ASL technique possesses advantages of non-invasion use of the gadolinium contrast.
