摘要：
Objective: To study the effect of formaldehyde on DNA-protein crosslinks (DPC) in buccal cells in students who were taking anatomy course. Methods: The modified KCl-SDS precipitation assay was applied. This method has been used to explore DPC induced by different pollutants in laboratory studies. Results: 37 students in medical school and 40 in school of sciences were studied. The frequency of exposure to formaldehyde was 6 h per week in exposed group. Concentrations of formaldehyde in anatomy laboratory ranged from 0.42 to 1.57 mg/m. Exposure to formaldehyde resulted in an increase of DNA-protein crosslinks. DNA-protein crosslinks in exposed and nonexposed students were 25.72±6.48％ and 22.88±5.34％ (p＜0.05), respectively. Air formaldehyde caused a significant increase in DNA-protein crosslinks of the females in two groups (27.72±5.76％ and 22.29±4.20％,p＜0.01). However, there was no difference in males (24.02±6.72 and 23.48±6.33, p＞0.05). Conclusions: The results suggest that exposure to formaldehyde in medical students increase the frequency of DNA-protein crosslinks in buccal cells. Our results also indicate that females may be more sensitive to formaldehyde exposure.

摘要：
To find out reliable biomarkers in China for acute irritation caused by indoor air pollutants, we carried out this study. A controlled human exposure experiment was used as the main research method. Subject eyes were exposed to gaseous formaldehyde at different doses (0 mg/m3, 1.0 mg/m3, 2.0 mg/m3, 3.0 mg/m3) five minutes a day for 4 days. The content of substance P in nasal lavage was determined by radio immune assay (RIA), and the blinking frequency and irritant intensity of their eyes were measured at the same time. The results showed that there were dose-dependent effects between blinking frequency and formaldehyde levels (r=0.980, P＜0.05), and so were there between irritant intensity and formaldehyde levels (r=0.985, P＜0.05). The content of substance P in nasal lavage increased after exposures, especially after the exposure of3mg/m3 formaldehyde (p＜0.05). This might explain that formaldehyde could stimulate trigeminal nerve ends of the eyes, which would release substance P from its nasal branches through axon reflex.

摘要：
Hir/Hira (histone regulation) genes were first identified in yeast as negative regulators of histone gene expression. It has been confirmed that HIRA is a conserved family of proteins present in various animals and plants. In this paper, the cDNAs of the Hira homolog named CagHira and CaHira were isolated from gynogenetic gibel carp (gyno-carp) and gonochoristic color crucian carp (gono-carp) respectively. The full-length CagHira is 3,860 bp in length with an open reading frame (ORF) of 3,033 bp that encodes 1,011 amino acids, while the full-length CaHira is 3,748 bp in length and also has an ORF of 3,033 bp. The deduced amino acid sequences of both Hira homologs contain seven WD domains and show high identity with other HIRA family members. RT-PCR analyses revealed strong expression of Hira in the ovaries, whereas no expression was detected in the testes of either of the fishes. Hira transcription was not detected in the liver of gyno-carp, but a high level of Hira mRNA was observed in gono-carp. The temporal expression pattern showed that the Hira mRNA is consistently expressed during all embryonic development stages in gyno-carp. However, the abundance of CaHira mRNA significantly decreased (P < 0.05) shortly after fertilization and then increased again and remained stable from gastrula till hatching. The varying spatiotemporal expression patterns of Hira genes in gyno-carp and gono-carp may be associated with the differing reproductive modes used by these two closely related fishes. Our results suggest that Hira may play a role not only in the decondensation of sperm nucleus and the formation of pronucleus during fertilization, but also in gastrulation and the subsequent development of embryos.
