脐血铅含量与婴儿神经行为发育的探讨

目的：了解广西地区儿童铅中毒状况，研究铅对婴儿神经发育的影响。方法：选择1020名婴儿，以脐血铅作为铅暴露示标，3月龄时在贝利（Bayley)婴儿发育表上以精神发育指数（MDI）和心理运动发育指数（PDI）为效应示标。结果：血铅≥0．48μmol/L的婴儿其MDI和PDI明显落后于相对低铅组，随着分界线的下移，两组间MDI和PDI差别渐趋缩小，当分界线为0.24μmol/L时，高、低铅组MDI和PDI已不存在统计学差异。结论：当血铅≥0.48μmol/L时，婴儿神经行为发育即可受到不利影响。     

Immune modulation by cadmium and lead in the acute reporter antigen-popliteal lymph node assay.

Immune modulation by heavy metals may cause serious adverse health effects in humans, although the mechanisms involved are not well understood. Both cadmium and lead are important environmental and occupational toxins. Therefore, in the current study, the costimulatory/adjuvant effects and the T-cell-activating potential of these metals (i.e., CdCl2 and PbCl2), are examined. These immune-modulating properties are critical in the development of conditions such as allergy, hypersensitivity, and autoimmunity. Using the direct popliteal lymph node assay (PLNA) and reporter antigen-popliteal lymph node assay (RA-PLNA) both metals were examined individually for immunotoxicity. Mercury (i.e., HgCl2) was included for comparative purposes as its effects in the RA-PLNA are well documented. Seven days following a single footpad injection containing metal and/or RA (trinitrophenyl-ovalbumin [TNP-OVA] or TNP-Ficoll), BALB/c mice were sacrificed and the popliteal lymph nodes (PLNs) removed. PLN cellularity, TNP-specific antibody-secreting cells (ASCs), and lymphocyte subsets were assessed. All three metals strongly stimulated T- and B-cell proliferation and ASC production following coinjection with the RA TNP-OVA. In each case, ASC production was skewed towards the IgG1 isotype. In addition, all three metals induced IgG production to TNP-Ficoll (although relatively weakly in the case of Cd). These results show that each of these metals can provide adjuvant signals to promote lymphocyte proliferation and enhance adaptive immune responses to unrelated antigens. Skewing of immune responses towards T helper type 2 responses suggests that each of these metals can enhance allergic and hypersensitivity reactions to environmental antigens. Furthermore, the induction of IgG responses to TNP-Ficoll, a T-cell-independent antigen, indicates that each of these metals can activate neoantigen-specific T cells. T-cell activation by metals can lead to metal hypersensitivity and has been implicated in the development of autoimmunity. This is the first report of immune modulation by CdCl2 and PbCl2 in the RA-PLNA.     

aVR sign as a risk factor for life-threatening arrhythmic events in patients with Brugada syndrome

BACKGROUND: Risk stratification in Brugada syndrome (BS) is controversial, especially in asymptomatic individuals. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the significance of lead aVR in patients with BS. METHODS: Twenty-four patients with the electrocardiogram pattern of BS (24 male, mean age 32.1 +/- 13.6 years) and 24 healthy age- and gender-matched controls were studied. RESULTS: Thirteen patients were symptomatic. The R-wave amplitude or R/q ratio in lead aVR was significantly greater in patients experiencing a recurrence compared with those who did not. The aVR sign was defined as R wave >/= 0.3 mV or R/q >/= 0.75 in lead aVR. Most of the recurrences (78%) were in patients with present aVR sign; 84% of BS patients with present aVR sign had events during follow-up. In contrast, only 27% of BS patients with absent aVR sign had events during follow-up. CONCLUSION: Our study shows significant correlation between a prominent R wave in lead aVR (aVR sign) and risk for development of arrhythmic events in BS. In the presence of BS, prominent R wave in lead aVR may reflect more right ventricular conduction delay and subsequently more electrical heterogeneity, which in turn is responsible for a higher risk of arrhythmia.

Atrial Synchronous Ventricular Pacing with a Single Lead: Reliability of Atrial Sensing During Physical Activities, and Long-term Stability of Atrial Sensing

A VDD pacing system with bipolar single-pass leads, were implanted in 36 consecutive patients (average age 72 ± 2years) with high degree atrioventricular block and normal sinus node function. At implant the atrial signal amplitude was 2.6 ± 0.2mV measured by a pacing system analyser (PSA), 1.8 ± 0.1mV measured peak-to-peak from the telemetered calibrated electrogram, and 1.3 ± 0.1mV measured from the sensing threshold. At one month follow-up the peak-to-peak amplitudes (mV) of the telemetered atrial electrograms were not significantly different measured continuously during resting supine with quiet breathing (1.4 ± 0.1), sitting (1.6 ± 0.2). standing (1.5 ± 0.1), arm swinging (1.4 ± 0.2), hyperventilation (1.3 ± 0.1), Vaisalva manoeuvre (1.4 ± 0.1), and treadmill exercise (1.9 ± 0.6). The telemetered atrial electrogram amplitude and the atrial sensing threshold varied between 1.2 ± 0.09mV and 1.8 ± 0.1mV, and between 0.95 ± 0.07mV and 1.3 ± 0.01mV, respectively at 0.5, 1, 3, 6 and 12 months follow-up, but the changes were statistically nonsignificant. The Event Summary showed sensing of 98% to 99% of the atrial events at the different follow-up periods.     

A study of the relationship between ambient lead and blood lead among lead battery workers

 Objective: To examine the relationship between ambient lead levels and blood lead levels and to explore the modifiers of the relationship between ambient lead and blood lead. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in two lead battery factories. Blood lead level and ambient lead concentration were measured for each participant concurrently. A structured questionnaire was administered to collect sociodemographic characteristics and occupational history. Design: Biological and personal environmental measurements of 219 lead-exposed workers were analyzed by both simple and multiple linear regression. A regression model was selected for interpretation. Results: A high correlation (r=0.62) between ambient lead (PbA) and blood lead (PbB) was observed. In addition, numerous factors, including age, sex, alcohol consumption, personal hygiene practice and type of lead exposure, were also found to influence blood lead levels. Although PbB was highly correlated with PbA, blood lead level may not be effectively lowered by reducing ambient lead level. Based on the regression coefficients, improvement of hygienic practice was more effective at lowering PbB than reducing ambient lead level. Good hygienic practice may be the preferential way to reduce lead exposure in current conditions. Conclusion: Education of correct work practice may be more important than engineering control in the developing countries to lower blood lead levels in lead battery factories.
