Application of Biochip Technique in Preventive Medicine

Yongwei XU

Journal of Environment and Health.1989;0(06):-.

The concept of biochip is originated in 1980s, it can also be called micro-array technology. Biochip is a new and sophisticated technique developed by bio-science and micro-electronics. The birth of biochip technique is a great revolution in modern biology area. Nowadays, the biochip technique has been widely used in many fields, eg, spectrum analysis of gene expression, diagnosis of diseases, drug selection, tumor markers, detection of manifold kinds of viruses, etc. Based on its several characteristics such as high efficiency, sensitivity, economy, parallel, automation, gene-chip technique will be a novel modern diagnosis technique. In this article, the usages of biochip technique in preventive medicine fields including environmental health, virus detection, occupational hygiene, nutrition and food hygiene, were discussed.

Systems Toxicology:a New Orientation of Toxicological Research

Xianliang WANG ; Yunjiang YU ; Hongmei WANG

Journal of Environment and Health.1989;0(06):-.

With the development of systems biology and high-throughput molecular technologies, systems toxicology has come into being. The up-date understanding of systems toxicology is the study of the perturbation of biological systems by using chemicals and stressors, monitoring changes in molecular expression (transcript, protein and metabolite profiling), conventional toxicological parameters and iteratively integrating response data to describe the functioning organism. The background, research framework, supporting tools and the main applications of systems toxicology were discussed in detail in the present paper. Although in its infancy, systems toxicology will play an important role in advancing the study of environmental stress and heath impact definitely.

Journal of Environment and Health.1989;0(06):-.

Objective To develop a high performance liquid chromatography method for the determination of methylisothiazolinones and chloro-methylisothiazolinoe in cosmetics. Methods The cosmetic samples were extracted with methanol. The analytes were separated with the mobile phase of V(Methanol)∶V(Water)= 25∶75 at the flow rate of 1.0 ml/min and detected at the wavelength of 276 nm. Results The linear range of the method was 0.05-100 mg/ml for methylisothiazolinone and 0.0125-25 mg/ml for chloro-methylisothiazolinoe. The limit of detection of methylisothiazolinone and chloro-methylisothiazolinoe were 0.08 and 0.2 ?g respectively. The recovery rates were 84.5%-93.9% with the RSD of 2.5%-9.4% (n=6) for methylisothiazolinone and 88.3%-92.9% with the RSD of 2.9%-5.8% (n=6) for chloro-methylisothiazolinoe. Conclusion The method is simple,rapid,accurate and is suitable for the determination of methylisothiazolinone and chloro-methylisothiazolinoe in cosmetics.

Journal of Environment and Health.1989;0(06):-.

Objective To develop a method of determining benzene hydrocarbon and halogenated alkane hydrocarbon in the air of workplaces with the capillary gas chromatography of carbon disulphide desorption. Methods Benzene hydrocarbon and halogenated alkane hydrocarbon in the air of workplace were collected by active carbon sampling cuvette, then separated by hydrogen flames detector gas chromatography machine after carbon disulphide desorption. Benzene hydrocarbon and halogenated alkane hydrocarbon were determined quantitively by retention time and quantitatively by apex area. Results The linear ranges of benzene, toluene, p-xylene, m-xylene, o-xylene, ethyl benzene, styenl, chlorobenzene, acetone, carbontetrachloride, dichloromethanl, trichloromethane, 1, 2-dichloroethane, naphth alene were 0.019-81.600, 0.018-91.200, 0.018-88.800, 0.018-56.8, 0.011-92.000, 0.012-63.200, 0.018-93.200, 0.449-2298.400, 0.252-1287.000 and 0.076-390.000 mg/m3 respectively. The recovery rates were 88.4%-98.6% and RSD were 1.0%-6.0%. Conclusion This method can separate efficiently and determine accurately benzene hydrocarbon and halogenated alkane hydrocarbon in the air with a good precision. It is suitable for the determination of the toxicants in the air.

Journal of Environment and Health.1989;0(06):-.

Objective To study the contents of antibiotics and antiseptics in the cosmetics sold in markets. Methods The cosmetics sold in professional market and current market (in which cosmetics were retailed) were selected respectively in Guangzhou and the contents of four antibiotics (oxytetracycline, tetracycline, chlortetracycline and chloramphenicol) and five antiseptics (para-hydroxybenzcic acid, methyl para-hydroxybenzoate, ethyl para-hydroxybenzoate, propyl para-hydroxybenzoate and butyl para-hydroxybenzoate) were determined by high performance liquid chromatogram. Results In 111 cosmetics, 30 cosmetics were detected containing oxytetracycline, 62 cosmetics containing tetracycline, 7 cosmetics containing chlortetracycline and 1 cosmetic containing chloramphenicol. The detection rate was 78.4% and the detection rate of antibiotics among various kinds of cosmetics had no significant difference. The antiseptics used in cosmetics were mostly para-hydroxyl compound ester and there were four cosmetics detected containing antiseptics. Conclusion Abusing antibiotics in cosmetics market is very serious. The test standards and methods for antibiotics and antiseptics in the cosmetics should be developed as soon as possible. Cosmetic enterprises need to decrease microbe pollution in the process of production and prohibit adding antibiotics in cosmetics.

Journal of Environment and Health.1989;0(06):-.

Objective To know phthalates(PAEs) pollution in drinking water of Nantong City. Methods With solid phase extraction and gas chromatography-mass spectroscope(GC-MS),main phthalates in drinking water were determined. Results Phthalates could be detected in all the source water, product water and tap water samples, mainly were di-n-butyl phthalate(DBP) and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate(DEHP),ranged from 1.25 to 4.59 ?g/L and from 0.97 to 3.57 ?g/L respectively. PAEs levels in product water were less than those in source water. The highest removal rate of DBP was 50%. PAEs levels in tap water were higher than those in product water,sometimes even higher than those in source water. Conclusion PAEs can not be effectively removed from source water after general water treatment process.

Journal of Environment and Health.1989;0(06):-.

Objective To understand the drinking water quality in the rural areas in Jiading, Shanghai. Methods In September, 2006, the drinking water samples from water plants and tap water were collected, then the water quality was analyzed and assessed according to the related standards and regulations. Results 84.56% of the rural population drank the surface water, 15.44% drank the ground water. Among 99.85% of the centralized water supply systems, the drinking water (surface water) was treated; among 0.15%, the drinking water (ground water) was only treated by decreasing iron and manganese. Source water and treated water quality had been greatly improved. Conclusion Intensive management of drinking water is very important to ensure the drinking water quality in the rural areas.
