| 1 | Perfluorooctane sulfonate(PFOS) and related fluorochemicals in chicken egg in China显示文摘The ubiquitous occurrence of perfluorinated compounds(PFCs) in environmental samples has drawn much attention.Recent human exposure studies found relatively high perfluorooctane sulfonate(PFOS) concentrations in blood samples from several cities in China when compared with other countries.The objectives of the present study were:(1) to measure PFC concentrations and compositions in chicken egg samples from local markets in China;and(2) to conduct a preliminary human health risk assessment of egg consumption.Eight pooled egg samples from eight locations were analyzed for 11 PFCs.The results showed that close to 100% of the PFOS in the egg was distributed in egg yolk and PFOS was not detected in egg white(<0.08 ng/g wet weight,w/w).Of the perfluoroalkylsulfonates,only PFOS was detected in all egg samples,while of the perfluoroalkylcarboxylates,perfluoroundecanoic acid(PFUnDA) was detected in all samples,followed by perfluorooctanoate(PFOA)(75% occurrence) and perfluorodecanoic acid(PFDA)(50% occurrence).PFOS concentrations in egg ranged from 45.0 to 86.9 ng/g w/w.The results suggested that current concentrations of PFOS in domestic chicken eggs are unlikely to cause immediate harm to Chinese populations. | WANG Yuan YEUNG Leo Wai Yin YAMASHITA Nobuyoshi TANIYASU Sachi SO Man Ka Margaret B.

| 2 | Acupuncture improves cognitive function A systematic review显示文摘BACKGROUND: Acupuncture has been used as a treatment for cognitive impairment. OBJECTIVE: This review assesses clinical evidence for or against acupuncture as a treatment for cognitive impairment. This review also discusses the proposed mechanism(s) that could link acupuncture to improved cognitive function. METHODS: We searched the literature using PolyUone search from its inception to January 2013, with full text available and language limited to English. Levels of evidence were examined using Oxford Centre for Evidence-based Medicine-Levels of Evidence (March, 2009). RESULTS: Twelve studies met the inclusion criteria: 3 human studies and 9 animal studies. Levels of evidence ranged from level 1b to level 5. CONCLUSION: Most animal studies demonstrated a positive effect of acupuncture on cognitive impairment. However, the results of human studies were inconsistent. Further high-quality human studies with greater statistical power are needed to determine the effectiveness of acupuncture and an optimal protocol. | Mason Chin Pang Leung Ka Keung Yip Chung Tsung Lam Ka Shun Lam Wai Lau Wing Lam Yu Amethyst King Man Leung Kwok-fai So | 2013 | Neural Regeneration Research2013，8，18： | 1 |
