Pollen allergy related to the area of residence in the city of Córdoba,south-west Spain

The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between the distribution of hay-fever patients in the city of Córdoba, south-western Iberian Peninsula, and the specific atmospheric biological content originating from local sources. Four different districts were established in the metropolitan area of the city, according to vegetational and urbanistic characteristics. Air samples were taken in each area using portable Hirst-type samplers (Lanzoni VPPS 1000) and the spectrum of biological content was defined. Patients attending the Allergy Unit at Córdoba Teaching Hospital in 2000 with allergic rhinitis and/or asthma, and displaying a positive reaction to aeroallergen extracts, were distributed within the areas as a function of their district of residence. Aerobiological results revealed differences in pollen content between areas, in terms of both quantity and number of pollen types recorded. These differences were largely due to proximity to rural areas, prevalence of pollen from typically urban species and the possible effect of urban architecture as a barrier to the dispersal/ concentration of particles and other pollutants. Patients were not uniformly distributed within the city. The majority lived in districts in which pollen from rural species was mixed with pollen from ornamentals. Patients living in typically urban districts displayed a higher prevalence of allergy to pollen from ornamentals. It is concluded that a high degree of exposure to the same environment may influence the development of sensitisation to the particular pollen load associated with that area.

高级氧化技术强化皮革废水生化处理效果初探

皮革废水中含大量难降解有机物,导致常规好氧生化处理速率低、效果差.实验考察了在Us(超声波)、UV(紫外光)、US/Fenton、UV/Fenton等高级氧化技术强化作用下的生化处理效果,结果表明,在相同水质和实验条件下,废水经Us、UV处理30min后可使后续生化反应速率显著提高,分别反应8h、24h后的COD去除率即可达到直接经微生物处理48h后达到的48%,但延长反应时间至48h对COD去除率没有明显提高;Fenton试剂强化US、UV的处理效果要高于单独Us、UV工艺,经30min预处理,随后在微生物作用下分别反应4h和8h即可达到45%和51%的COD去除率,同时延长反应时间也能使最终COD去除率明显提高,反应48h后,COD去除率可分别提高至64%和72%.

A rare case of de novo structural rearrangement of X chromosome diagnosed by amniocentesis

A dicentric X chromosome was found in a female fetus during cytogenetic studies performed on amniotic cells. Blood samples from the parents showed normal karyotypes and the pregnancy was terminated. The mechanism for the formation of this ‘de novo’ rearrangement is discussed.
