RESUMEN
Site contamination has caused serious harm to human health and the ecological environment, so understanding its spatial and temporal distribution patterns is the basis for contamination assessment and site remediation. For this reason, this study analyzed the spatial-temporal distribution patterns of organic pollutants and their driving factors in the Yangtze River Delta based on site sampling data using the optimal-scale geographical detector. The analysis results showed that:â There was a significant scale effect in the spatial distribution of organic pollutants in the Yangtze River Delta, and its optimal geographic detection scale grid was 8 000 meters. â¡ The main control factor of the spatial distribution of pollutants in the Yangtze River Delta originated mostly from the biological field, followed by the chemical field. ⢠At the depth of 0-20 cm of soil, the explanatory power of sucrase content, urease content, microbial nitrogen amount, total nitrogen content, and cation exchange amount were stronger for the spatial distribution of organic pollutants. At the soil depth of 20-40 cm, the factors with stronger explanatory power on the spatial distribution of organic pollutants were soil moisture, population, and total nitrogen content. With the deepening of soil depth, the explanatory power of the factors of the hydrodynamic field increased. ⣠Population, total nitrogen content, and polyphenol oxidase content had stronger explanatory power for the spatial distribution of organic pollutants in the spring. The spatial distribution of organic pollutants was more complex in autumn, and the factors showed stronger enhanced-nonlinear and enhanced-bi phenomena.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of a genetic variant in the multidrug resistance 1 gene (MDR1) on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk. This case-control study was conducted in a Chinese population of 645 HCC cases and 658 cancer-free controls. The genotype of the c.3751G>A genetic variant in the MDR1 gene was investigated by created restriction site-polymerase chain reaction (CRS-PCR) and DNA sequencing methods. Our data demonstrated significantly differences detected in the allelic and genotypic frequencies between HCC cases and those of cancer-free controls. Association analyses indicated that there were statistically increased risk of HCC in the homozygote comparison (AA versus (vs.) GG: OR = 2.22, 95% CI 1.51-3.27, χ(2) = 16.90, P < 0.001), dominant model (AA/GA vs. GG: OR = 1.25, 95% CI 1.00-1.55, χ(2) = 3.98, P = 0.046), recessive model (AA vs. GA/GG: OR = 2.14, 95% CI 1.47-3.09, χ(2) = 16.68, P < 0.001) and allele comparison (A vs. G: OR = 1.33, 95% CI 1.13-1.57, χ(2) = 11.66, P = 0.001). The allele-A and genotype-AA may contribute to HCC susceptibility. These preliminary findings suggest that the c.3751G>A genetic variant in the MDR1 gene is potentially related to HCC susceptibility in a Chinese Han population, and might be used as a molecular marker for evaluating HCC susceptibility.
