[Spatio-temporal Evolution of Groundwater Vulnerability Based on Spatial Autocorrelation].

The distribution patterns of human activities affecting groundwater vulnerability vary with time. Studying the temporal and spatial changes in groundwater vulnerability, exploring the distribution characteristics of each period, and predicting the trends of development are important to formulate an effective development plan and reduce the risk of groundwater pollution at the same time. Based on the hydrogeological data as well as humanities and social data for 2004, 2010, and 2016 for the Chaoyang District of Beijing, a comprehensive evaluation model considering the human factors such as the land use types was established using the DRASTIC model.

[Observation and analysis on the meridian-collateral running track-related anatomical structure in the human body].

In the present paper the authors analyze the anatomical structure of the meridian running track by using the dialectical thought and comprehensive analysis of the integrated Chinese and western medicine. It has been observed that the "Qi-passages" of the 14 meridians of Chinese medicine are located in the connective tissue among the interspace of the muscles, etc. distributing longitudinally.

Ectopic, autologous eutopic and normal endometrial stromal cells have altered expression and chemotactic activity of RANTES.

Objective: To evaluate if the expression and chemotactic activity of RANTES are different in IL-1beta treated autologous eutopic endometrial stromal cells compared to ectopic and normal endometrium.

Study Design: Conditioned media from IL-1beta-treated ectopic, autologous eutopic and normal endometrial stromal cells were analyzed with a specific sandwich ELISA to quantify RANTES. The monocyte chemotactic activity of RANTES was assayed in a Boyden Chamber.

[Influence of nuclear factor-kappaB decoy oligonucleotides on RANTES expression and monocyte chemotactic activity in stromal cells of ectopic endometrium].

Objective: To study the inhibitory effect on the expression of regulated upon activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES) and monocyte chemotactic activity of ectopic endometrial stromal cells by nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB decoy oligonucleotides (ODN).

Methods: The stromal cells of ectopic endometrium were divided into 3 groups. Two groups were cultured with or without 10 microg/L of interleukin (IL)-1beta.

Airborne fungi and endotoxin concentrations in different areas within textile plants in Taiwan: a 3-year study.

Bioaerosols have been found in many occupational environments, including animal feeding houses, poultry slaughter houses, and cotton textile plants. This study was undertaken to examine a group of bioaerosols, the endotoxins, fungi, and bacteria, inside two textile factories over 3 years in Taiwan, where temperature and humidity are usually high year-round. Airborne dust was collected with filter cassettes attached to personal pumps and analyzed by the Kinetic Limulus Assay with Resistant-parallel-line Estimation.
