Phthalates are non-persistent chemicals used in products of daily necessities. The evidence on the relationship of prenatal phthalates exposure and preterm birth remain uncertain and dimed. We Searched Cochrane, EMBASE, PubMed and Qvid Medline and selected studies according to a priori defined inclusion criteria.

Methods: In total, 2625 adults in a local area on the Yangtze River were investigated at baseline from 2014 to 2015 and followed up in 2019.
Objective: To study the changes of DNA degradation in cells of rats and its relationship with the postmortem interval.
Method: 8 parameters of cell nuclear (including the tail length, the head radius, the percentage of head DNA, the percentage of tail DNA, the tail moment, the olive moment, the head area and the tail area) were chosen to study their changes in the procedure of DNA degradation in myocardium cells in 111 rats at different postmortem interval from 0 to 72 h by using single-cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) technology and fluorescent microscope combined with auto-analysis-image system method.
Results: An evident comet tailing was observed in DNA of myocardium cells after electrophoresis, and their changes in all these 8 parameters of cell nuclear were greatly associated with the extension of postmortem interval, which indicate the degradation rate and degree of DNA in the nuclear has a close relationship with postmortem interval in the periods from 0 to 72 h in rats and significant difference were found with those groups (P < 0.
