RESUMO

Background Exposure to heavy metals has potential adverse impacts on human health, and the concentration of heavy metals in abandoned mining areas may still be higher than that in general areas, so the health risk assessment in such areas cannot be ignored. Objective To explore the health risk of heavy metal exposure and the spatial distribution characteristics of associated main metals in a typical abandoned mining area. Methods Environmental samples of irrigated soil, rice, and drinking water were collected from 13 natural villages under the jurisdiction of a township in Liuzhou, Guangxi from November to December 2019, where a typical abandoned mining was located. Finally, 13 irrigation soil samples, 11 rice samples, and 13 drinking water samples were collected. The concentrations of six metals and metalloid elements in each environmental sample were detected by inductively coupled-plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), including cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn). At the same time, 251 local residents were recruited for health risk assessment. Model parameters such as body weight, rice intake, and drinking water intake of local residents were obtained through field survey, and the median metal concentration of each environmental sample was taken as the risk assessment parameter of the region. The health risk of heavy metal exposure of local residents was assessed by using oral health risk assessment model of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The spatial distribution characteristics of health risks associated with heavy metals were evaluated by empirical Bayes interpolation method using Geographic Information System (GIS) technology. Results The positive rates of Cd, As, Pb, Cr, Cu, and Zn in the irrigated soil samples were 100.00%. The positive rate of Pb was 63.64% in the rice samples, while the rates of other metals were 100.00%. The positive rates of Cd, As, Pb, Cr, Cu, and Zn in the drinking water samples were 53.85%, 76.92%, 92.31%, 15.38%, 84.62%, and 100.00%, respectively. The results of non-carcinogenic risk assessment of oral exposure to heavy metals suggested that the contribution of heavy metals causing non-carcinogenic risk from high to low was As (70.52%) > Cd (18.03%) > Zn (6.63%) > Cu (4.12%) > Pb (0.64%) > Cr (0.06%), and the corresponding estimated non-carcinogenic risk values were 3.54 × 100, 9.05 × 10−1, 3.33 × 10−1, 2.07 × 10−1, 3.23 × 10−2, and 5.42 × 10−4, respectively. The results of carcinogenic risk assessment of oral exposure to heavy metals suggested that the contribution of studied metals from high to low was Cd (87.00%) > As (10.24%) > Cr (2.60%) > Pb (0.16%), and the estimated carcinogenic risks were 4.35× 10−3, 5.12 × 10−4, 1.30 × 10−4, and 3.08 × 10−7, respectively. Rice was the leading media associated with non-carcinogenic risk and carcinogenic risk (99.4% and 99.8% respectively). The spatial distribution characteristics of GIS showed no obvious regularity in the distribution of As in irrigated soil, rice, and drinking water. In rice and irrigated soil, the content of Cd in the villages adjacent to the mining area was obviously higher than that in the other villages, while in drinking water, the content in the villages far away from the mining area was higher. Conclusion As and Cd are the main heavy metals that increase the health risk of local residents in a typical abandoned mining area, and the distribution characteristics of the two heavy metals in different environmental media are not completely consistent.

RESUMO

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of Guidezilla TM guide extension catheter in retrograde technique for chronic total occlusion (CTO) recanalization. Methods We retrospectively collected 119 CTO cases from the 2nd Cardiology Department of Guangdong General Hospital who had received retrograde percutaneous coronary intervention( PCI). The Guidezilla TMguide extension catheters were applied in 39 cases from October 2015 to November 2016. 80 CTO cases without using the Guidezilla TMguide extension catheter during PCI admitted between January 2015 and October 2015 were collected as the control. Results The overal success rate of the 2 group was 84.0%. The group using the Guidezilla TMguide extension catheter had a higher success rate(100% vs.76.2%,P<0.05).The baseline clinical characteristics of the two groups showed no statistical diff erence. In terms of CTO crossing diffi culty by J-CTO score, patient in the Guidezilla TMguide extension catheter group had higher percentage of diffi cult lesions(35.9% vs.15.0%,P<0.001)and very difficult lesions(61.5% vs.32.5%,P<0.001).Patients in the Guidezilla TMguide extension catheter group had more longer lesions(89.7% vs.72.5%,P=0.035),blunt proximal occlusion(53.8% vs.32.5%,P=0.030)and tortuosity lesions(84.6% vs.63.8%,P=0.020). More cases in the control group needed a second operation(63.8% vs.25.6%,P<0.001)and more ostial/bifurcation lesions(62.5% vs.30.8%,P=0.002).All cases had no target vessel revascularization or in-hospital death. Conclusions Guidezilla TMguide extension catheter is convenient and safe for complicated CTO retrograde PCI.

RESUMO

Sperm DNA damage is recognized as an important biomarker of male infertility. To investigate this, sperm DNA damage was assessed by the sperm chromatin dispersion (SCD) test in semen and motile spermatozoa harvested by combined density gradient centrifugation (DGC) and swim-up in 161 couples undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). Semen analysis and sperm DNA damage results were compared between couples who did or did not achieve pregnancy. The sperm DNA damage level was significantly different between the two groups (P < 0.05) and was negatively correlated with IVF outcomes. Logistic regression analysis confirmed that it was an independent predictor for achieving clinical pregnancy. The effects of different levels of sperm DNA damage on IVF outcomes were also compared. There were significant differences in day 3 embryo quality, blastocyst formation rate, and implantation and pregnancy rates (P < 0.05), but not in the basic fertilization rate between the two groups. Thus, sperm DNA damage as measured by the SCD appears useful for predicting the clinical pregnancy rate following IVF.

RESUMO

Objective To investigate the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)in cytokine IL-6, IL- 10 genes and HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). Methods A hospital-based case-control study was conducted in 381 cases with HBV-related HCC, 340 HBsAg carriers and 359 non-tumor controls. Genotypes of-572 site of IL-6 gene and-819, -592 sites of IL-10 gene were determined by real-time polymorphism chain reaction. Unconditional logistic regression was used to estimate the odds ratios(ORs)and 95 confidence intervals(C/s). Results For the G/C alleles of -572 loci on IL-6 gene, there were significant differences between the three groups(P<0.05). Compared with CC genotype, GG genotype increased the risk of HBV infection (OR=2.171,95% Ch 1.068-4.415), but did not seem to be associated with HCC. For the alleles of-819 and -592 site of IL-10 gene, there were significant differences between the three groups(P<0.05). Compared with CC genotype, TT genotype increased the risks of both HCC(OR=2.791,95%CI:1.326-5.874), and HCC in HBsAg carriers(0R=3.522,95%CI: 1.707-7.266). When compared with CC genotype on -592 site, the AA genotype reduced the risk of both HCC(OR=0.389, 95% CI:0.173-0.875), and HCC in HBsAg carriers(OR=0.336, 95% CI: 0.154-0.734). Conclusion The SNPs in -572 site of IL-6 gone might be associated with the risk of HBV infection. The SNPs in -819 site of IL-10 gene increased the risk of HCC, but -592 site of IL-10 gene decreased the risk of HCC.

RESUMO

Objective: To investigate the related factors for the therapeutic efficacy of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Methods: A retrospective clinical analysis was performed on the clinical data from 49 patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Results: The mean survival time was 19.5 months, 8.79 months, and 5.44 months for the total 49 patients who received radical resection, palliative resection, and drainage operation, respectively. The mean survival time was 23.5 months, 9.37 months, and 2.90 months for patients at AJCC TNM stage I and II, III, and IV (IVa and IVb), respectively. The mean survival time was 3.62 months for patients with a total bilirubin level more than 300 μmol/L or 14. 74 months for those patients with a total bilirubin level less than 300 μmol/L. The mean survival time was 5.68 months, 11.59 months, and 22.17 months for patients whose total serum bilirubin level was more than 40 μmol/L, between 20 to 40 μmol/L, and less than 20 μmol/L one week after operation, respectively. Conclusion: TNM stage and curative resection degree are the main related factors influencing the therapeutic efficacy of hilar cholangiocarcinoina. The decreased degree in the serum level of total bilirubin before and after surgery has the potential to be used as a marker to predict the long-term therapeutic efficacy of hilar cholangiocarcinoma.

RESUMO

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To determine the prevalence of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in elderly patients with chronic congestive heart failure (CHF) and explore the relations between SDB and left ventricular function.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>By means of polysomnography, 56 elderly patients with CHF were divided into non-SDB, mild SDB, moderate SDB, and severe SDB groups, and the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was measure by (99)Tc equilibrium radionuclide angiography.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In the 56 elderly patients with CHF, 38 (67.9%) had SDB, including 12 (21.4%) mild SDB, 14 (25.0%) moderate SDB, and 12 (21.4%) severe SDB patients. Thirty (53.6%) of the 56 patients with CHF had obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), 4 (7.1%) had central sleep apnea and 22 (39.2%) had mixed sleep apnea. The moderate and severe SDB groups had lower minimum arterial oxyhemoglobin saturation during sleep than the non-SDB groups, and the apnea-hyponea index was closely related to LVEF (r=-0.74, P<0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The prevalence of SDB, predominantly OSA, is high in elderly patients with CHF. Moderate and severe SDB might affect the left ventricular function in these patients, who require polysomnography monitoring.</p>

RESUMO

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore congenital heart diseases (CHD) in their offsprings in association with parental methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene C677T, cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) gene T833C, and environmental factors.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A 1:1 case-control study was carried out to investigate 115 pairs of case and controlled children and their parents, and the parents' MTHFR gene 677 C-->T mutation and CBS gene 833 T-->C mutation were also identified. The possible risk factors were analysed by simple and multiple factors logistic regression methods.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Results revealed that 5 factors were related to the occurrence of CHD in the offsprings: maternal exposures to pesticides in the early stage of pregnancy (OR = 8.62), suffering from diseases during pregnancy (OR = 2.069), catching cold in the early stage of pregnancy (OR = 4.125), under depressed or nervous condition during pregnancy (OR = 4.653), maternal MTHFR 677TT genotype (OR = 3.872).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>These results suggested that maternal MTHFR 677TT genotype was one of the risks to the occurrence of CHD in offspring but parents' CBS gene 833 T-->C mutation did not get involved in CHD. In addition, the occurrence of CHD was related to maternal exposures to pesticides, catching a cold, suffering from diseases, depressed or under nervous condition in the early stage of pregnancy or during pregnancy.</p>

RESUMO

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To determine the relation between the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), and microvessel density (MVD) as well as the influence on portal vein thrombosis and transfer (PVTT) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Tumor specimens were collected in 36 patients (16 patients with PVTT, the other patients without PVTT and metastasis) undergoing resection of HCC and thrombectomy. PVTT specimens of 16 patients were named Group A1, and HCC of the same patients named Group A2. The other 20 patients belonged to Group B. In situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry were used to investigate VEGF, PCNA expression and MVD. The intensity was evaluated with a computer image analyzer-cell analysis system.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>VEGF mRNA expression was detected in the tumor cells. The expression rates in Group B, A2, and A1 were 30%, 100%, and 100%, respectively. Group A2 and A1 were higher than Group B (P<0.01). VEGF protein expression was often detected in the tumor cells, vascular endothelial cells, and fibroblast cells. Invasion was detected in the small vein in Group A2, and more tumor cell colony detected in Group A1. The expression rates of VEGF protein in Group B, A2, and A1 were the same as VEGF mRNA. The intensity of VEGF mRNA and protein were all lower in Group A2 than Group A1 (P<0.01). In Group B, A2, and A1, MVD and PCNA-LI were gradually elevated. PCNA reactive vascular endothelial cells were occasionally observed in Group A2, and often observed in Group A1. There was a statistically significant correlation between the intensity of VEGF expression, PCNA-LI and MVD in Group A2 and A1, and significant correlation between PCNA-LI and MVD in Group B, A2, and A1.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Overexpression of VEGF could be an important factor of the high MVD and the highly proliferative activity of cancer cells in HCC and PVTT. High MVD and PCNA-LI associate very well with the formation of PVTT and metastasis in HCC.</p>
