To investigate the impact of low-level lead exposure on children's behavior within a natural setting, we assessed the school performance of a sample of 141 elementary school children classified according to dentine lead level. Twenty-two children had “elevated” levels (≥20 parts per million), 71 had “midrange” levels (10.0–19.9 parts per million), and 48 had “low” levels (<10 parts per million). Four types of outcome data were collected: (1) scores on a standardized group intelligence test, (2) teachers' ratings, (3) incidence of academic failure (assignment to remedial aid, grade retention), and (4) observations of classroom behavior. In general, higher dentine lead levels were associated with less favorable school performance, with most covariance-adjustedp-values in the range of 0.05–0.15. The incidence of grade retention was the outcome most strongly related to lead level. The pattern of results suggests a consistent, though weak relationship between children's dentine lead levels and elementary school performance. 相似文献

Background
The Foodborne Disease Burden Epidemiology Reference Group (FERG) was established in 2007 by the World Health Organization to estimate the global burden of foodborne diseases (FBDs). This paper describes the methodological framework developed by FERG''s Computational Task Force to transform epidemiological information into FBD burden estimates.Methods and Findings
The global and regional burden of 31 FBDs was quantified, along with limited estimates for 5 other FBDs, using Disability-Adjusted Life Years in a hazard- and incidence-based approach. To accomplish this task, the following workflow was defined: outline of disease models and collection of epidemiological data; design and completion of a database template; development of an imputation model; identification of disability weights; probabilistic burden assessment; and estimating the proportion of the disease burden by each hazard that is attributable to exposure by food (i.e., source attribution). All computations were performed in R and the different functions were compiled in the R package ''FERG''. Traceability and transparency were ensured by sharing results and methods in an interactive way with all FERG members throughout the process.Conclusions
We developed a comprehensive framework for estimating the global burden of FBDs, in which methodological simplicity and transparency were key elements. All the tools developed have been made available and can be translated into a user-friendly national toolkit for studying and monitoring food safety at the local level. 相似文献7.

The closely documented spread of the European periwinkle snail, Littorina littorea from Pictou, Nova Scotia in 1840 to New Jersey by 1870, its near absence in pre-European fossil deposits, and its close association
with human mechanisms of transport from Europe, are among the clearest evidence of a human-mediated marine introduction ever
reported. Genetic data were recently proposed as evidence that North American L. littorea predate European contact and thus, are not introduced. Review of these genetic data and all other data reveals that the simplest
explanation of the modern occurrence of this snail in North America is by human introduction. 相似文献

Estrogenic effect on swelling and monocytic receptor expression in an arthritic temporomandibular joint model 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Clinical presentation of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders are more common in women and changes in the female hormone estrogen affect the level of swelling, pro-inflammatory cytokine release and pain in animal models of TMJ arthritis. Estrogen also modulates the expression of the CD16 receptor in vitro. This alters pro-inflammatory cytokine release in monocytes/macrophages when auto-antigens and arthritic factors bind the CD16 receptor. This study investigated the effects of various levels of estrogen on the intensity of inflammation and CD16 expression in a TMJ arthritic animal model. The experiments included rats that were intact or ovariectomized (OVX), eliminating the major source of estrogen output. A portion of the OVX animals had estrogen replaced with 17-beta estradiol (E2) using Alzet pumps. In OVX animals E2 levels were administered for 10 days to create an artificial estrus cycle or to simulate pregnancy. Following E2 treatment the rats were given an intra-articular TMJ injection of saline or complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA). CFA injection significantly increased TMJ swelling, stress induced chromodacryorrhea and attenuated food intake, thus indicating the adjuvant induced TMJ pain/inflammation. Removing endogenous E2 through OVX reduced CFA induced TMJ inflammation, whereas CFA increased the number of TMJ monocytes expressing the CD14 receptor equally in all groups irrespective of plasma E2 levels. Paradoxically, higher levels of E2 reduced the number of TNF-alpha positive, CD16+ and double labeled CD14+/CD16+ cells. The findings indicate that reduced plasma E2 levels attenuated CFA induced TMJ inflammation, whereas increasing E2 levels enhanced TMJ swelling in a dose dependent manner. Estrogenic group differences in CFA induced swelling were independent of TMJ CD14+, CD14+/CD16+ or CD16+ cell numbers suggesting E2 action on the CFA immune response primarily excluded CD16 receptor action. 相似文献
