人体生物样品中邻苯二甲酸酯类的含量

目的　研究和探讨环境内分泌干扰物邻苯二甲酸酯类在人体生物样品中的含量水平。方法　运用反相高效液相色谱分析法测定了人体生物样品 (6 0份血清、36份精液、11份脂肪 )中 3种邻苯二甲酸酯类物质 (phthalates) [邻苯二甲酸二乙酯 (DEP)、邻苯二甲酸二丁酯 (DBP)和邻苯二甲酸 2 乙基己酯 (DEHP) ]的含量水平 ,同时测定了血清中有关激素水平和精液常规指标 ,并运用SPSS分析软件中的非参数统计方法对测定结果进行了相关性分析。结果　上述 3种人体生物样品中均可检测到 phthalates,脂肪中的phthalates含量范围在ND～ 2 19mg/kg ,血清中为ND～ 37 91mg/L ,精液中为 0 0 8～ 1 32mg/L ;Spearman相关分析显示 ,女性血清中DBP与E2 呈正相关 (r =0 4 4 2 ) ,DEP与T呈负相关 (r =- 0 4 86 ) ;精液中phthalates与液化时间呈显著正相关关系 (P <0 0 1) ,DBP与精液量、活力分级中的c级精子活力呈显著负相关 ,与b级精子活力呈显著正相关 (P <0 0 5 ) ,DEHP与精液量、活力分级中的c级精子活力呈显著负相关 ,与精子畸形率、b级精子活力呈显著正相关 (P <0 0 5 )。结论　邻苯二甲酸酯类物质存在于人体组织中 ,并可影响人类的精液质量.

Study on the level of phthalates in human biological samples

Objective To monitor the level of phthalates in human biological samples. Methods The concentrations of three commonly-used phthalate (di-ethyl phthalate, DEP; di-n-butyl phthalate, DBP; di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate, DEHP) in the human biological samples were measured by using reversed-phase HPLC. The blood serum samples were collected from 52 women and 8 men, semen specimens from 36 men, and fat samples from 6 women and 5 men. All these people were randomly selected, from 23 to 50 years of age and residing in Shanghai. We also measured hormone levels of serum and conventional indices of semen specimens. Results The three phthalates were detected in most of the biological samples, with median levels of 5.71 mg/L(ND-37.91mg/L) in blood serum, 0.30 mg/L (0.08-1.32 mg/L) in semen specimens, and 0.72 mg/kg (ND-2.19 mg/kg) in fat samples. The spearman correlation coefficients between concentrations of phthalates and levels of hormone in serum were 0.442 for DBP and E 2, and -0.486 for DEP and testosterone. There was a positive association between liquefied time of semen and semen concentrations of phthalates. The correlation coefficients were 0.456 for DEP, 0.475 for DBP, and 0.457 for DEHP, respectively. There was no significant difference between semen concentrations of phthalates and sperm density. Conclusion These results suggest that people residing in Shanghai area are exposed to phthalates (particularly to DBP and DEHP) though the level is still relatively low.
