Single umbilical artery stenosis associated with intrauterine fetal death post-transfusion

Single umbilical artery is among the most common funicular vascular anomalies. In contrast, umbilical artery stenosis is rare, and has only been reported in three-vessel cords. We describe a case of single umbilical artery stenosis in a fetus with no associated malformations. Intrauterine fetal death occurred at 28weeks' gestation following cordocentesis and intravascular transfusion for Rhesus alloimmunization. Single umbilical artery stenosis may place the fetus at increased risk, particularly in cases requiring interventions involving cord manipulation. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Genotoxicity study of high aspect ratio silver nanowires

The genotoxicity potential of silver nanowires synthesized via the solution-based polyol method has been investigated. They were found to be non-mutagenic in three Salmonella strains and were not genotoxic in a clastogenicity assay in mice. Residual surfactant was found to have an effect on the toxicological properties of the nanowires by increasing the rate of Ag⁺ release. Residual surfactant can be easily degraded via a UV treatment.     

亚硝基胍对泥鳅红细胞微核及核异常的诱发

研究了诱变剂对泥鳅红细胞微核和核异常的诱发作用,以寻求较为简便的检测水体中污染物对遗传物质的损害程度及毒理效应的方法。试验以亚硝基胍（MNNG）作为诱变剂,研究其不同浓度和染毒时间对泥鳅红细胞微核形成和核异常的影响。试验结果表明,在一定浓度范围内,微核细胞率与亚硝基胍浓度呈正相关;但当浓度过高时,微核细胞率反而降低。此外,研究还发现,随着亚硝基胍浓度的升高,微核细胞率出现高峰的时间也相应提前。从试验结果来看,微核测定法确是遗传毒理学试验中一个较为理想的监测手段。
