Cystic hygroma: Prenatal diagnosis and genetic counselling

Six cases of cystic hygromas detected during second trimester ultrasound examination are reported: 4 fetuses (67 per cent) had a 45, X karyotype, 1 fetus had trisomy 18, 1 fetus had a normal karyotype (46,XX) and at autopsy multiple anomalies were observed. In the latter case the family history suggested an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. In order to reach a definite diagnosis and give proper genetic counselling when a fetus is found to have cystic hygroma, a fetal karyotype as well as a family and reproductive history should be obtained.     

Is maternal alpha-fetoprotein screening still of value in a low-risk area for neural tube defects?

Estimation of maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was used as a screening method for the detection of neural tube defects (NTDs) in 6344 women over three years. Of 88 (1.4 per cent) who had one or more serum AFP levels equal to, or greater than, 2.5 multiples of the median (MoM) for the relevant gestational age, 43 (0.68 per cent) underwent amniocentesis. There were eight NTDs. Four of these were screened by serum AFP, and all cases of spina bifida had serum AFP levels greater than 3.0 MoM, including one small open defect which was not seen on ultrasound. The other four cases of NTD, which were not screened, were identified by ultrasound. Of 64 singleton pregnancies 32 (50 per cent) had serum AFP levels between 2.5 and 3.0 MoM, and low birthweight (⪕2500 g) occurred in 29 per cent. Because of improvements in ultrasound techniques and the apparent falling incidence of NTD, the role of serum AFP as the primary screening procedure should be regularly reviewed. Effective screening is dependent on mothers booking early.     

Prenatal diagnosis of genetic microcephaly

True microcephaly can be diagnosed at an early stage of gestation by serial measurements of fetal head growth as demonstrated by this case report in which the diagnosis of genetic microcephaly was made but termination refused. True microcephaly was evident at birth.     

生产低硫汽油的新技术

介绍了我国及欧美等国家车用汽油标准中对硫含量的规定，以及降低催化汽油硫含量的几种工艺方法，特别是新发展起来的FCC脱硫助剂、FCC脱硫催化剂和膜分离等技术。采用新的脱硫技术可以在不同程度上降低催化汽油的硫含量。适应不同的脱硫要求，为炼油厂生产低硫汽油提供了更多的技术选择。

邢台煤矿矿井水的综合治理及利用

随着开采深度及范围的扩大，邢台煤矿井下高压出水点越来越多，既浪费了大量的排水费用，又对岩溶水环境和水资源造成了严重破坏。针对上述情况，用四种不同的方法分别进行了封堵和重新利用，使矿井减少了４８０ｍ＾３／ｈ的无效排水，经济效益和环保效益均十分明显。     

佛山五峰垃圾填埋场封场后CH4等浓度变化特征

通过对垃圾填埋场设置监测井监测，讨论了垃丧填埋场封场后在内部温度，渗滤液的ＰＨ值及Ｏ２，ＣＨ４、ＣＯ２等气体浓度在时间上与空间上的变化，认为在不同到３ａ的时间五峰垃圾填埋场内部垃圾分解的程度就已达到整个分解过程听中后期，提出在高温高湿地区要充分利用ＣＨ４资源，必须尽快直埋尽快封场或边填埋边使用。
