Heavy distillate (HD), the highest-boiling coal liquid from the solvent-refined coal-II process (SRC-II), was administered by intragastric (IG) intubation to pregnant rats. Five dose levels of HD (0.09, 0.14, 0.18, 0.36 and 0.74 g kg-1), were given daily from 12 to 16 days of gestation and the rats were killed at 20 days of gestation. Maternal body weights and weights of the liver, kidneys, spleen, adrenals, thymus, ovaries and the gravid uterus were obtained. Gravid uteri were evaluated for prenatal mortality. Live fetuses were examined for malformations and weighed; fetal lungs were excised and weighed. Maternal (extragestational) weight gains and thymic weights diminished in all groups that received the SRC material. Adrenal weights were increased in all treated animals, except for those in the lowest-dose group (0.9 g kg-1). There was significant maternal mortality at 0.74 g kg-1 and increased intrauterine mortality at doses of 0.37 and 0.74 g kg-1. Placental weight was depressed, and the incidence of fetal anomalies was increased at 0.14 g kg-1 and all higher dose levels.

Article Synopsis
- * A 12-week exercise program was studied, showing that those who participated had a significant decrease in pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, indicating better heart performance during mild exercise compared to those who maintained their usual activity.
- * Additional benefits were observed in the exercise group, including improved peak oxygen consumption, cardiac index, and overall quality of life, suggesting that physical training is effective for enhancing cardiac function and exercise capacity among these patients.
Effect of visual lung recruitment manoeuvres guided by trans-oesophageal lung ultrasound on atelectasis after thoracoscopic lobectomy: a randomised, single-blind, prospective study.

Background: Although the incidence of postoperative atelectasis could be reduced using lung recruitment manoeuvres, it remains high. We hypothesised that intraoperative visual lung recruitment guided by trans-oesophageal lung ultrasound would be more effective than the conventional method for managing postoperative atelectasis.
Methods: In this randomised, controlled, prospective study, 84 patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy were recruited from Affiliated Chengdu Fifth Peoples Hospital (teaching hospital) in China.
Determination of potential dermal exposure rates of phosphorus flame retardants via the direct contact with a car seat using artificial skin.

Dermal exposure to phosphorus flame retardants (PFRs) has received much attention as a major alternative exposure route in recent years. However, the information regarding dermal exposure via direct contact with a product is limited. In addition, in the commonly used dermal permeability test, the target substance is dissolved in a solvent, which is unrealistic.

Electronic address:
In this work, a portable multichannel detection instrument based on time-resolved fluorescence immunochromatographic test strip (TRFIS) was proposed for on-site detecting pesticide residues in vegetables. Its hardware consisted of a silicon photodiode and excitation light source array, a mainboard of the lower machine with STMicroelectronics 32 (STM32) and a linear stepping motor. While detecting, cardboard with 6-channel TRFIS was pulled into the cassette by the stepping motor.
