Developmental and reproductive processes are most sensitive to the toxic effects of environmental chemicals. Especially alarming is the fact that many groups of industrial chemicals and pesticides are capable of disrupting the endocrine system in man and animals. Of great concern is the reduction in the sperm count in Europe, but also the worldwide increase in a great number of reproductive and developmental disturbances observed in both man and wildlife. A correlation to a high chemical burden has been demonstrated for many different animal species as well as for women. An important consideration in assessing the potential effects of environmental chemicals on the endocrine system is the time at which such an exposure occurs. In the adult organism, hormones initiate functional processes; these effects are usually transient. In early life, hormones control developmental processes and are capable of producing permanent changes in organ structure and function (organizational effects). Therefore, chemical disruption of hormonal functions during development can result in permanent functional changes of the afflicted organ. 相似文献

Rice in deep water: "How to take heed against a sea of troubles" 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Sauter M 《Die Naturwissenschaften》2000,87(7):289-303
Plants are aerobic organisms for which oxygen shortage poses a severe problem. Waterlogging and flooding are the main causes
of anaerobiosis and can lead to damage or even death of the plant. Rice is well adapted to semi-aquatic conditions. It is
the only cereal that can be grown in flooded areas such as the great river deltas of Asia. In rice, two major strategies have
evolved to cope with conditions of flooding. One is to escape submergence and thereby avoid anaerobiosis as much as possible.
This is achieved through elongation growth and through extensive aeration of submerged plant parts by way of internal and
external air spaces. The second adaptation is a metabolic one which includes the efficient use of carbohydrate resources and
maintenance of energy charge when the cells do become anaerobic. The mainly ethanolic fermentation pathway found in anaerobic
rice avoids acidification of the cytoplasm and thereby contributes to the maintenance of cell integrity. Genetic analysis
indicates that the submergence tolerance trait, which is based on metabolic changes, is encoded by only one or a few as yet
unidentified gene(s). Identifying these genes is a major goal in anaerobic stress research. 相似文献

Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were determined by gas chromatography in 241 placentas from cotton-growing regions, 121 placentas from an urban area (city of Osh), and 146 placentas from unpolluted mountain regions of Kyrgyzstan. Manifestations of disease were recorded in the mothers during pregnancy and parturition and in their newborns during the first 6 days of life. OCPs were detected in 240 out of 508 placentas (47.2%), with increased incidence in the two polluted regions (65%), particularly in placentas from women living near former pesticide storehouses and agro air-strips (99%), but only in 2.7% of placentas from the unpolluted region. α-, β-, and γ-hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH); DDT; DDE; aldrin; and heptachlor were detected. The sum of concentrations of all OCPs (total OCPs) was calculated for each of the 240 placentas with detectable OCPs (median 9.5 μg/kg placenta, mean 88.3 μg/kg, range 0.1–3070 μg/kg). The incidence of health problems in four subgroups of this data set, with increasing levels of total OCPs, was compared with the incidence of health problems in the group of 268 placentas, where OCPs were undetectable. Relative risk of health problems in both, mothers and newborns, increased significantly, in a concentration-dependent manner, with increasing levels of total OCPs (p?<?0.0001). Health complications with increased incidence in OCP-exposed newborns included, i.a., low birth weight, congenital malformations, infections, and stillbirths, in OCP-exposed mothers preterm delivery, (pre-)eclampsia/gestosis, and frequency of hospitalizations after delivery (infections). Women living near former pesticide storehouses and agro airstrips should be considered as being at risk. Reduction of exposure is urgently needed. 相似文献

Temporal Segmentation of Human Short-Term Behavior in Everyday Activities and Interview Sessions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Human behavior is structured by serial order and timing of functionally related groups of movements with a duration of a
few seconds. These elementary action units have been described in ethological studies during unstaged everyday behavior, but
not during interview sessions. Psychomotor alterations are relevant for differential diagnosis and treatment, and psychiatric
patients are generally evaluated during interview sessions. Therefore the time structure of upper limb movements (n=764) of healthy subjects (n=22) were studied using videotaped interviews and frame-by-frame analysis and compared to movements (n=530) of unstaged human everyday behavior (n=154). The number of action units, but not their duration, was correlated inversely with self-reported impairment of mood
and pleasure experience in healthy persons. The temporal distribution of movements in interview sessions did not differ from
the time patterns of everyday behavior. This method could be a promising tool to investigate time patterns of movements and
psychomotor alterations in psychiatric patients during interview sessions.
