Abstract A comprehensive study from the surface soil samples of 14 locations from Amghara, Kuwait were assessed for the investigation organochlorine pesticides (OCPs). Due the high degree of contamination in the environment and the health consequences of OCPs, the assessment of these compounds had a significant concern. There is limited informations regarding the distribution pattern of OCPs in the soil samples of Kuwait. The study comprises 12 OCPs including their isomers. Pesticide residue analysis was done with a gas chromatograph for organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) coupled to a triple quadruple mass spectrometer in electron ionization mode. The total concentration of OCPs were in the range of 209.39 pg/g -7449.18 pg/g with an average value of 1313.04 pg/g. DDT had higher concentrations in soil samples (969.52 pg/g) than the other pesticides, according to the findings. The distribution pattern of OCPs in the Amghara soils revealed their origin as both historical and recent application of pesticides. The impact of soil pH on the distribution of DDTs in Amghara soil samples were also investigated. The study further looked at how residual quantities could be used to determine health risks of both children and adults. Children and adults in all the locations were subject to negligible cancer risk, according to the health risk evaluation. OCP's cancer dangers from ingestion, dermal exposure, and inhalation of soil particles indicated that all stations were in the safe zone.

Phytophthora species are well-known destructive forest pathogens, especially in natural ecosystems. The wild apple (Malus sieversii (Ledeb.) Roem.) is the primary ancestor of M. domestica (Borkh.) and important germplasm resource for apple breeding and improvement. During the period from 2016 to 2018, a survey of Phytophthora diversity was performed at four wild apple forest plots (Xin Yuan (XY), Ba Lian (BL), Ku Erdening (KE), and Jin Qikesai (JQ)) on the northern slopes of Tianshan Mountain in Xinjiang, China. Phytophthora species were isolated from baiting leaves from stream, canopy drip, and soil samples and were identified based on morphological observations and the rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence analysis. This is the first comprehensive study from Xinjiang to examine the Phytophthora communities in wild apple forests The 621 resulting Phytophthora isolates were found to reside in 10 different Phytophthora species: eight known species (P. lacustris being the most frequent, followed by P. gonapodyides, P. plurivora, P. gregata, P. chlamydospora, P. inundata, P. virginiana, and P. cactorum) and two previously unrecognized species (P. sp. CYP74 and P. sp. forestsoil-like). The highest species richness of Phytophthora occurred at BL, followed by XY. P. lacustris was the dominant species at BL, XY, and JQ, while P. gonapodyides was the most common at KE. In the present paper, the possible reasons for their distribution, associated implications, and associated diseases are discussed.

Abstract Backgroud Extreme preterm infants are at a high risk for developing preterm complications and death. Despite advances in medical care, many survivors face a lifetime of disability. Objective To assess the short term safety of and four-year follow-up outcomes of allogenic, human umbilical cord blood (hUCB) derived mononuclear cells(MNCs) infusion to extreme preterm infants with high risk potential of death. Method This study was a phase I, open-label, single-arm, single-center trial to evaluate the safety of allogenic, hUCB-MNCs infusion for extreme preterm infants with high risk potential of death. HUCB MNCs characteristics, pre- and postinfusion vital signs and laboratory investigations were recorded. Temporal profiles of cytokines and growth factors from blood were test. Clinical data including mortality rates, preterm complications and follow-up outcomes were recorded. Results After processing, relatively MNCs mean (1.9±0.8) ×106/kg; volume mean (11.25±2.12)ml/kg were infused to 10 extremely preterm infants with high risk of death. No adverse effects were noticed during treatment. 40% received extubation and weaned to nasal CPAP successfully; 30% received lower FiO2; no infants suffered from late onset sepsis; 30% received poor response to MNCs infusion. 40% infants suffered from ROP and only one infant needed laser surgery. No patients suffered from NEC after MNCs infusion. All ten infants who received hUCB MNCs infusion survived inhospital and prevent deterioration of clinical features, but 4 infants discharged against the advice of the doctor by their parents and lost connection. Regarding the rest 6 infants, no home oxygen therapy and rehospitalization, no suffered from other long-term respiratory complications at visit 1～visit 3. One infant showed cerebral palsy at visit 1, no clinical evidence associated this with MNCs infusion. Blood level of HGF significantly increased, but MMP-9, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α and TGF-β levels were significantly lower at 24h post infusion compared with baseline (P < 0.05).Conclusions Collection, preparation, and infusion of allogenic hUCB MNCs to extreme preterm infants is feasible and safe. Trial registration The study was registered on Chinese Clinical Trials.gov (NO. ChiCTR–OPN - 15006932). Registered 17 August 2015, http://www.chictr.org.cn/edit.aspx?pid=11662&htm=4.

Background: The release of metals from industrial factories is one of the most important sources ofenvironmental pollution. The present study aimed to determine the concentration of heavy metals likecadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), and lead (Pb) in dust around the cementfactory.Methods: A total of 22 dust samples were collected from areas around the cement factory in Isfahanprovince in spring and summer and transferred to laboratory for chemical digestion. Risk index (RI),integrated pollution index (IPI), mean of contamination degree (mCd), and contamination factor (Cfi)were calculated to determine the contamination status.Results: The concentration of heavy metals in the falling dust around the factory was expressed as Cd<Ni <Pb <Mn <Cr. Pearson correlation showed that there is only a significant negative relationshipbetween the concentration of Cd and the distance from the factory. By increasing the distance from thefactory, the concentration of Cd in dust decreased. The results of falling dust analysis showed that Crhas a high-risk potential in two seasons of spring and summer and Cd has a middle level of pollutionin spring.Conclusion: According to the results, the deposited dust of study area is considered as a polluted dustand it is at higher risk of pollution with Cd and Cr.

Abstract Currently, the methods used for sampling soil do not meet modern requirements when conducting comprehensive studies of ecological state of soils. Stratified sampling of soil samples does not allow us to judge the gradients of distribution of agrochemical parameters and microbial communities of surface soil layer in natural landscapes. The use of method of GPS positioning of equidistant points of surface layer of soil in a comprehensive study of agrochemical parameters of soil, the composition of microbial communities of landscape makes it possible to draw up a summary map-scheme (GIS). The article analyzes methodological features of selection of soil samples for agrochemical, bacteriological, and molecular biological analysis. Using example of southern alkaline chernozem with gradient of pH distribution from 7.5 to 8.5 units, the distribution of microbial communities and agrochemical parameters in surface layer of soil of a perennial fallow is shown. The range of changes in agrochemical indicators on site with an area of 1 ha for organic matter was (1.4 ± 0.3% - 5.4 ± 0.5%), ammonium (12.3 ± 1.2 - 26.7 ± 2.7 mg/kg), and nitrate nitrogen (0.9 ± 0.1 - 3.9 ± 0.6 mg/kg). The change in microbial communities corresponded to gradient of soil agrochemical parameters.

Safety evaluation is a fundamental stage of existing dams and their appurtenant structures, which have a high-risk potential for downstream life and property. Turkey is a country, which seismically settled at one of the most active regions in the world, and earthquakes with high magnitude frequently occur here. There are some regions, which are severely under threatening of earthquakes. One of them is the Marmara region with twenty-four million people. This region, namely the Marmara basin, has at least forty-five large dams with different types. This study considered nineteen of them to relieve their seismic hazard parameters for all dam sites and total risk for each structure. The study area is lying in a seismically, very active part of Turkey. The southern part of the basin is structurally cut by the North Anatolian Fault, which is a famous structural feature that produces deathful earthquakes, and its offshoots. The analyses have indicated that peak acceleration widely ranges for the nineteen dam sites of this basin. The total risk analyses have concluded that most of the dams in the metropolitan area have high-risk classes and a significant effect for public safety.
