OBJECTIVE: To investigate how many leiomyoma patients are exposed to bisphenol-A (BPA) and whether the serum concentration of BPA is related to leiomyoma growth. METHODS: Total 131 patients were recruited for measuring BPA. Initially, leiomyoma patients were divided into three groups, mild (n=38), moderate (n=33), and severe (n=30) according to the size of the leiomyomas. The control (n=30) group was defined as having no leiomyomas. The identification and diameter measurements of leiomyomas was performed by transvaginal ultrasonography. Serum BPA concentrations were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: BPA was detected in 83.9% out of 131 samples totally, and 83.1% out of 101 leiomyoma patients. In detail, the detection rates of serum BPA were 86.7% in control group, 71.1% in mild group, 84.9% in moderate group, and 96.7% in severe group. The mean BPA concentrations in the control group was 0.557+/-0.086 ng/mL and those in the leiomyoma groups were 0.273+/-0.052 ng/mL (mild), 0.336+/-0.063 ng/mL (moderate), and 0.636+/-0.075 ng/mL (severe) (P=0.0003). Values are mean+/-standard error. Conclusions: The detection rate of serum BPA in control and leiomyoma groups were 86.7% and 83.1% respectively. However, there was no statistical significance of serum BPA concentrations between control and leiomyoma groups. To verify the effect of BPA on the leiomyoma growth, close and sequential monitoring for the person who have exposure risk is recommended.

Bloodstain pattern analysis is a forensic discipline that reconstruct events of a crime scene by analyzing sizes, shapes, distributions, positions of bloodstains. Bloodstain pattern can be classified into the low velocity, medium velocity, and high velocity system. Velocities in this system represent the velocity of the wounding agent (the force applied) and not to the velocity of the blood in flight. Thus there is no reference system about the velocity of the blood in flight in the existing bloodstain classification system. Applying bloodstain pattern analysis to the real crime case, we needed to have the reference system of velocities of impact spatter, cast-off spatter, and expectorate spatter. Therefore we measured the velocities of these spatters using high speed camera and we analyzed the results. In this experiments the average velocity of impact spatter that generated by swinging a hammer with all experimenter's strength at the pool of blood is about 4.7 times faster than that of swing cast-off spatter that generated by swinging a red-wat hammer with all experimenter's strength, and about 3.9 times faster than that of expectorate spatter that generated by emitting blood from the mouth with all experimenter's strength. The velocities of cast-off spatter and expectorate spatter, however, showed similar distributions. Our experiments that measure the velocities of droplets of blood spatters in flight under the specific conditions that generated at fastest speed can give some reference to the classification system of velocities of bloodstains which is not distinct up to now, as well as some real bloodshed crime cases.
