Prenatal diagnosis of the fragile X syndrome using fetal blood and amniotic fluid

Nineteen pregnancies at risk for the Martin–Bell syndrome have been monitored during the second trimester for the presence of the fragile Xq27. Of the 19 potential carrier mothers, 14 showed the presence of the fragile X in their lymphocytes at a level of 4 per cent or above. As one was a twin pregnancy, fetal blood was obtained at fetoscopy from 20 fetuses and amniotic fluid obtained simultaneously from 19 of them. Of the 20 fetuses, 18 were males (including both of the twins) and two were females. Of these 18 males, seven were found to carry the fragile Xq27 in lymphocytes and subsequently six of the seven were terminated. The diagnosis was confirmed in five of the six terminated fetuses (the sixth case was a patient whose pregnancy was terminated abroad) and also in a full-term male baby. Five of the seven males without the marker X who came to term had their karyotypes confirmed post natally. Of the two female fetuses one was found to be a carrier of the fragile X and the other was not. Both babies had full-term deliveries and both had their karyotypes confirmed post natally. In some cases the diagnosis made in fetal lymphocytes was confirmed later in amniocytes.     

13X分子筛处理含苯胺废水的实验研究

以天然岩石矿物为原料，经过较简单的工艺过程合成的13X沸石分子筛用于吸附水中苯胺的实验研究，结果表明：分子筛对苯胺的吸附速率非常快，吸附时间为10min时，吸附基本害饱和；一般当分子筛用量为10g/L时，水中苯胺的去除率达95％；随着pH值的增加，苯胺在分子筛上的吸附率减小；温度增加，吸附率有所增加，但常温下，苯胺的吸附率也能达到93％；13X分子筛对苯胺的最大吸附量可达10mg/g，其吸附规律较好地符合Furendlich吸附等温式；饱和了苯胺的分子筛，用质量浓度为20％、温度为60℃的氯化钠溶液洗脱，解吸率近于100％，且解吸后的分子筛在未经任何处理的情况下仍能吸附苯胺；说明采13X分子筛处理含苯胺废水，不仅吸附效果好，而且再生能力也强，为实际处理含苯胺废水提供了可行性依据。

青霉菌对活性艳蓝 KN-R的吸附作用

研究了青霉菌(Penicillium X5)对活性艳蓝KN—R的吸附作用．通过对培养液的波谱分析和宏观现象的观察，结果表明，在72h内，脱色是由吸附引起的．当染料的浓度为100mg/L时，活菌体对染料的吸附率可达88．66％．本实验还研究了对实际应用和吸附过程有影响的几个因素，包括葡萄糖、NaCl、温度和pH.结果表明：葡萄糖浓度在0-20g／L时，随着葡萄糖浓度的增加，菌体的干重相应增加，说明对活性艳蓝KN—R的吸附具有促进作用，但浓度在10-20g／L时，吸附作用不显著；而随着NaCl浓度(0-2％)的增加，吸附率却显著降低．最佳脱色温度为25℃，pH为4．0．活菌体与死菌体的生物吸附均符合Langmuir方程，活菌体比死菌体具有更好的吸附性能．吸附在菌丝体上的染料可以用甲酵进行洗脱，菌丝球在下次使用前用蒸馏水冲洗至pH中性，此菌丝球可重复使用3次．固8表2参11

Toxicity op technical X‐factor∗ to weanling rats. II. A subacute oral study

Abstract

Eighty male weanling rats were fed dietary levels o£ Technical X‐factor (β ‐isomer free BHC, a by‐product obtained during the separation of lindane from Tech. BHC) at dosages of 10, 50, 250, 750, 1500 and 3000 ppm for 90 days. No overt signs of toxicity or mortality were observed at any of the dietary levels. However, a significant reduction in food consumption and growth was evident beyond 750 ppm. Pronounced hepatomegaly observed at 1500 and 3000 ppra was associated with histolo‐gical alterations such as cellular hypertrophy, cyto‐plasmic vacuolisation and focal necrosis. Adrenals showed cortical hypertrophy and highly vacuolated cytoplasm. Though a significant increase in the levels of SGOT was noted at 3000 ppra dosage, no appreciable changes were observed in the levels of SGPT and SLDH. Technical X‐factor appeared to possess low chronic toxicity compared to Tech. BHC as evidenced by the various parameters studied. The observed low chronic toxicity of X‐factor is probably due to the absence of β ‐isomer and altered composition of delta and alpha isomers.
