Objective To investigate the pollution of phthalate ester in indoor environment. Methods Settled dust samples from 10 households, 10 offices and 10 student dormitories in Beijing were collected. Seven kinds of phthalate esters in these samples were determined with solid phase extraction-high performance liquid chromatography (SPE-HPLC) .Dates were analyzed statistically by nonparametric tests. Results The main phthalate esters in dust were di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and dicyclohexyl phthalate (DCHP). Of phthalate esters, DEHP with the range of 28-6 073 mg/kg had the highest concentration in indoor dust. The total level of phthalate esters in households was the highest, offices followed, student dormitories was the last. The Kurskal-Wallis H test showed that the concentrations of BBP, DEHP and DCHP in dust were significantly different in 3 types of rooms (P

Objective To study the effect of humic acid (HA) and soil on dissolution performance of depleted uranium (DU).Methods Using the static dissolve-adsorption experiment and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry(ICP-MS) to determine uranium concentration and 235U/238U isotope ratios of the samples at different time and study the dissolution of DU in water.Results The solubility of DU in water was reduced by 90％ by adding HA.Soil could increase the solubility of DU in water by nearly 25％,adding an appropriate amount of HA could play a supporting role on the dissolution of DU,in this experiment adding 5％ of HA was best.Conclusions Soil and HA could produce positive and negative impact on the solubility of DU in water,and the combined effect of the two relied on the complex absorption and complexation reactions of soil,HA and dissolved uranium ions.

Aim To observe the effects of liver cirrho-sis on the expression of transforming growth factor-β1 ( TGF-β1 ) and ColⅠin rat myocardium and interven-tion of erythropoietin ( EPO ) . Methods Thirty-six male Sprague-Dasley rats were randomly divided into three groups:control group, liver cirrhosis group and EPO group, then the cardic hemodynamic parameters in vivo and levels of serum lactate dehydrogenase ( LDH ) as well as creatine kinase isoenzyme ( CK-MB) were measured. With Masson′s trichrome stain, changes of collagen formation of myocardial tissue in different groups were observed. Also the mRNA ex-pressions of TGF-β1 and ColⅠin myocardium were de-tected by RT-PCR. Results In contrast to control group, rats in liver cirrhosis group showed a decline in systolic and diastolic function of left ventricule, rising myocardial enzyme, a distinct increase of cardiac colla-gen deposition, as well as an elevation of TGF-β1 and ColⅠmRNA expressions. In contrast to liver cirrhosis group, rats in EPO group demonstrated an improve-ment in systolic and diastolic function of left ventricule as well as in cardiac collagen deposition, and a de-crease in both myocardial enzyme and TGF-β1 and ColⅠmRNA expressions. Conclusion Liver cirrhosis can lead to the changes of myocardial structure and function in rats,and it can accelerate myocardial inter-stitial fibrosis; EPO can protect the myocardial injury in liver cirrhosis rats.

Objective To investigate whether MT1-MMP is involved in the inhibition effect of curcumin on the proliferation and invasion of breast cancer cell and the mechanism . Methods Firstly, MCF-7 cell lines transfected by MT1-MMP eukaryotic expression vector was established. We divided all cells into 3 groups,including null vector transfection group, non-transfected and transfected group with different concentrations of curcumin. The expression of MT1-MMP protein, the proliferation and invasion ability were respectively analyzed by western blot, transwell method, and cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8). Results The expression of MT1-MMP was inhibited by curcumin. Transwell and CCK-8 experiment indicated the proliferation and invasion abilities of MT1-MMP transfected MCF-7 cells were inhibited by curcumin in a concentration dependent manner. Conclusion The inhibition value of curcumin on proliferation and invasion is probably due to its ability to inhibit the expression of MT1-MMP.

Objective To investigate the rate of termination of pregnancy (TOP) in gravidas with prenatally diagnosed fetal malformation and to analyze the influences of medical and non-medical factors on decision making.Methods This was a prospective cohort study. Gravidas who took part in a multidisciplinary consultation due to fetal malformation and finished a questionnaire after consulting from September 12, 2012 to May 2, 2013 were recruited. Exclusion criteria were chromosomal disorders and isolated abnormal ultrasound soft markers. The questionnaire survey was conducted to understand the patient's backgrounds and to collect their feedbacks on the consultation. Decisions of the gravidas on TOP were followed up by phone in 2014 and 2016. If a gravida chose to continue her pregnancy, her baby's outcome was also recorded.T test,Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test, or rank-sum tests (Mann-Whitney or Wilcoxon) or Logistic regression was used for statistical analysis.Results (1) Altogether 229 gravidas were recruited and 10 of them were lost to follow-up, so 219 cases were finally analyzed. Among the 219 cases, 35.6% (78/219) chose to terminate their pregnancies. (2) Neonatal prognosis was predicted based on the type and severity of the disease and was divided into four levels including good prognosis (122 cases, 55.7%), medium prognosis (20 cases, 9.1%), poor prognosis (17 cases, 7.8%) and unsure prognosis (60 cases, 27.4%). (3) Gravidas who chose to terminate their pregnancies were younger than their counterparts choosing to continue to term (average age: 27.8±4.1 vs 29.0±3.9,t=2.257,P<0.05). Gravidas who went to the consultation before the 24th gestational week carried double risk of TOP than those after the 24th gestational week [termination rate: 52.5% (31/59) vs 29.4% (47/160),χ2=10.089,P<0.01). (4) Gravidas with fetal growth restriction (FGR) were at triple risk of TOP than those without (OR=2.850, 95%CI: 1.323-6.140) after adjusting for maternal age, gestational age at consultation and prognostic evaluation. Comparing with the good prognosis group, in which the rate of TOP was 19%, the unsure (OR=2.354, 95%CI: 1.108-5.004), medium (OR=16.188, 95%CI: 4.732-55.372) and poor (OR=14.515, 95%CI: 3.61-58.359) prognosis groups had higher risk of TOP. (5) There were 63 women informed us their reasons for TOP (multiple choices), among which 57 (90.5%) were due to unsure neonatal outcomes, and 10 (15.9%) were due to emotional factors. (6) Maternal satisfaction with neonatal prognosis was 2 to 5 points (medium score, ten-point system) lower in gravidas choosing to TOP than in those choosing to continue pregnancy regardless of good, unsure, or medium neonatal prognosis. No significant difference in maternal satisfaction was found among gravidas with poor neonatal prognosis.Conclusions The rate of TOP in gravidas with prenatally diagnosed fetal malformation remains high in China. Factors that can negatively influence the rate of TOP are consultation after the 24th gestational week, better perceived neonatal prognosis and higher maternal satisfaction with neonatal prognosis. Uncertainty of the neonatal prognosis is the leading cause of maternal dissatisfaction.
