[Expression and significance of Shh and Wnt5a genes in Cornelia de Lange syndrome].

Objective: To study the expression of Shh and Wnt5a genes in the limb buds of NIPBL fetal rats and the association of these two genes with Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS).

Methods: A total of 72 NIPBL fetal rats were divided into an experimental group and a control group, with 36 rats in each group. The limb buds were collected from 12 fetal rats each on embryonic days 10, 11 and 12 (E10, E11 and E12) respectively.

[Distribution and composition of organochlorine pesticides in farmland top soils of Anhui Province].

By using ultrasonic method and GC/ECD, this paper analyzed the distribution and composition of 8 kinds of organochlorine pesticides (alpha-HCH, beta-HCH, gamma-HCH, delta-HCH, op'-DDE, pp'-DDD, alpha-endosulfan, and chlorothalonil) in farmland top soils (0-20 cm) in 19 districts of Anhui Province, East China. The total concentration of the pesticides in the top soils ranged from 0 to 23.75 microg x kg(-1), among which, pp'-DDD and gamma-HCH were the major pollutants, with the mean concentration being 13.
