    Abstract Background: X-chromosomes show a specific genetic mode, which makes genetic markers on the X-chromosome play crucial roles in forensic research and human evolution. Dong group, one of 55 minority groups in China, live in Guizhou, Guangxi, and Hunan provinces. Even though some genetic data of Y chromosomal short tandem repeats (STRs) and autosomal insertion/deletion polymorphism (InDels) in Dong groups have been reported, there is little research about X-STRs in the Dong group.
    Aim: Purposes of this study are to investigate allelic distributions and forensic statistical parameters of 19 X-STRs in the Guizhou Dong group, and explore the genetic composition of the Guizhou Dong group and its phylogenetic relationships with other reference populations.
    Subjects and methods: Five hundred and seven Dongs (272 males and 235 females) living in Guizhou province were typed using the AGCU X19 STR kit. Allelic frequencies and forensic parameters of 19 X-STRs in the Guizhou Dong group were calculated. Population genetic analyses of Guizhou Dong and another 17 reference populations were conducted using
    Results: A total of 230 alleles of 19 X-STRs were identified in all Dongs. The frequencies of 19 loci ranged from 0.0013 to 0.6838. The values for cumulative power of discrimination in males (PDM), cumulative power of discrimination in females (PDF), and four different kinds of mean exclusion chance (MEC_Kruger, MEC_Kishida, MEC_Desmarais, and MEC_Desmarais_du) for the 19 X-STRs in all individuals were 0.999999999999761, 0.9999999999999999999993951, 0.999999964841617, 0.999999999997261, 0.999999999997297, and 0.999999993623172, respectively. Besides, genetic polymorphisms of seven linkage clusters ranged from 0.9381 to 0.9963. In addition, these seven groups showed high polymorphism information content (PIC), PDM, PDF, MEC_Kruger, MEC_Kishida, MEC_Desmarais, and MEC_Desmarais_duo. Population genetic analyses of Guizhou Dong and another 17 reference populations showed that the Guizhou Dong group had close genetic relationships with surrounding Tai-Kadai-speaking, Hmong-Mien-speaking, and Han groups.
    Conclusion: Nineteen X-STRs displayed high genetic diversities and could be employed for forensic personal identification and paternity analysis in the Guizhou Dong group. Close genetic affinities between Guizhou Dong and surrounding populations were observed based on the 19 X-STRs in 17 reference populations.

    Abstract Objectives: We assessed whether grip strength was related to various types of radiographic damage in Korean adults with osteoarthritis (OA).
    Methods: Data from 2,251 subjects enrolled in the Dong-gu study, who had no hand joint pain, were analyzed to investigate the relationship between grip strength and OA. Hand grip strength was measured using a hand-held dynamometer, and radiographs of the hand and knee were scored according to a semi-quantitative grading system. Multiple linear regressions were used to explore associations between grip strength and radiographic features of OA.
    Results: Grip strength in men and women was negatively related to hand (both p < 0.001) and knee (men, p < 0.001; women, p = 0.010) OA after adjusting for confounders. Hand (men, p < 0.001; women, p = 0.001) and knee (both p < 0.001) joint space narrowing (JSN) showed the strongest associations with low grip strength, regardless of gender. Moreover, the severity of hand osteophytes in women (p = 0.001), and subchondral cysts (men, p < 0.001) was correlated with low grip strength in both genders.
    Conclusions: Among subjects without hand joint pain, low grip strength was associated significantly with hand and knee radiographic OA, regardless of gender. Among all types of OA radiographic damage, low grip strength showed the strongest association with JSN.

    Abstract Due to the inconsistent association between high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and osteoarthritis (OA), we evaluated the relationship between hs-CRP and various radiographic findings in older adults with OA. This cross-sectional study recruited 2376 participants from the population-based Dong-gu cohort. The scores of radiographic features in OA on X-rays of the knees and hands were computed using a semi-quantitative grading system. The hs-CRP levels were measured using a particle-enhanced immunonephelometry assay. Correlations showing the relationship between hs-CRP and OA were calculated using multiple linear correlation analysis. The hs-CRP levels were significantly higher in older subjects (p < 0.001), those with a higher body mass index (BMI) (p < 0.001), current smokers (p < 0.001), current alcohol drinkers (p = 0.011), those who were less physically active (p = 0.002), and those with a lower level of education (p = 0.043). After adjusting for BMI and other confounders, the total OA scores (knee, p = 0.022; hand, p = 0.029) and sclerosis score (knee, p = 0.007; hand, p = 0.030) in the knees and hands were all significantly positively correlated with hs-CRP. A significant association was also observed between hs-CRP and hand erosion score (p = 0.045), hand malalignment score (p = 0.015), and tibial attrition score (p = 0.039). In this large cross-sectional study, a higher hs-CRP level was significantly associated with radiographic OA severity. Of the various types of radiographic damage, all of sclerosis, erosion, and malalignment were significantly associated with hs-CRP levels.

    Abstract Background: We examined the effects of fat deposition on radiographic osteoarthritis (OA) to determine the role of obesity in the pathogenesis of radiographic OA.
    Methods: Data were taken from the Dong-gu cohort, a cross-sectional study of 2,367 subjects. Baseline characteristics, waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), fat mass, and fat percentage were collected, along with X-rays of the knees and hands. Total knee and hand radiographic OA scores were summed using a semi-quantitative grading system, and then stratified by gender using a multiple linear regression model.
    Results: After adjusting for confounders, weight was the only factor significantly associated with knee radiographic OA, regardless of gender (all p < 0.01). Regarding the hand, fat percentage had the largest effect on radiographic OA in males (p = 0.008), while WHR was the most significant factor in females (p = 0.001). For the knee, fat mass was the most important factor for radiographic OA in males (p = 0.001), while in females, body mass index was the most important factor (p < 0.001). Among the variables, only fat percentage was significantly related to both hand and knee radiographic OA in both genders (all p < 0.01).
    Conclusions: Regardless of gender, weight was significantly associated with knee radiographic OA. Otherwise, fat deposition correlated with hand and knee radiographic OA in both genders, while the distribution of fat tissue was significantly associated with hand and knee radiographic OA only in females.

    Abstract Guizhou province in southwest China has abundant genetic and cultural diversities, but the forensic features and genetic structure of Guizhou populations remain poorly understood due to the sparse sampling of present-day populations. Here, we present 30 insertion/deletion polymorphisms (InDels) data of 591 human individuals collected from four populations, Dong, Yi, Han, and Chuanqing residing in Guizhou. We calculated the forensic parameters of 30 InDel loci and found that this panel meets the efficiency of forensic personal identification based on the high combined power of discrimination, but it could only be used as a complementary tool in the parentage testing because of the lower combined probability of exclusion values. The studied populations are genetically closer related to geographically adjacent or linguistically related populations in southern China, such as the Tai-Kadai and Hmong-Mien speaking groups. The unrecognized ethnic Chuanqing people show an additional genetic affinity with Han Chinese, highlighting the role of possible military immigrations in their origin.

    Abstract Objective: The relationship between OA and osteoporosis has exhibited contradictory features over the past four decades. The aim of this study was to determine using separate analysis of the radiographic features of OA whether various radiographic features of OA were associated differently with BMD in the Korean elderly.
    Methods: Data were derived from the Dong-gu cohort; 2354 subjects were enrolled in the present cross-sectional study. Baseline characteristics, the BMDs of the lumbar spine and femoral neck measured by DXA, and X-rays of knees and hands were collected. A semi-quantitative grading system was used to estimate the severities of individual radiographic features. We adjusted for confounders using multiple linear regression modelling to analyse the relationships.
    Results: After adjustment for confounders, hand and knee OA total scores were negatively associated with the BMDs of the lumbar spine and femoral neck, except for the total knee OA score and lumbar spine BMD. In detail, hand osteophytes and sclerosis exhibited positive relationships with the BMDs of the lumbar spine and femoral neck, except for hand osteophytes and femoral neck BMD. On the contrary, however, knee joint space narrowing (JSN), hand JSN, and hand subchondral cysts were negatively associated with the BMD of the lumbar spine and femoral neck. Knee JSN and hand subchondral cysts exerted the greatest effects on BMD.
    Conclusion: Separate analysis of the radiographic features of OA better reveals associations of OA with the BMD of the lumbar spine and femoral neck.

    Abstract Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were largely sprayed on the floodplain soils before the project of Returning Farmland to Lake in China, which caused contamination of sediment in Dong-ting Lake with dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) and posed threats to human health and other organisms. In this study, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) at different concentrations of 0.058, 0.145 and 0.29wt% were used to manage residual DDTs and HCHs in Dong-ting Lake sediment. The efficacy was assessed by DDTs and HCHs deriving from the aqueous equilibrium experiment and uptake in semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs). Desorption experiment and the quiescent flux experiment were conducted as well. The results showed that DDTs and HCHs were released from sediment. The p, p'-DDT was desorbed less readily than its metabolites and similarly α-HCH was desorbed less easily than other HCH isomers from sediment. Carbon nanotubes had great effects on treating DDTs and HCHs. The effectiveness of carbon nanotube amendment was dependent on type, dose and sediment-sorbent contact time In addition, carbon nanotubes being sprinkled on the surface of sediment as a cap and being injected into sediment as a mixture were considered as two effective ways to prevent DDTs and HCHs being released from sediment. Carbon nanotubes can be potentially useful as sorbents in in-situ remediation.

    Abstract An initial reclamation of the Young Dong coal mine site, located in northeastern South Korea, was completed in 1995. Despite the filling of the adit with limestone, acid rock drainage (ARD) enters Young Dong tributary and is then discharged to Imgok Creek. This ARD carries an average of 500 mg CaCO(3)/l of mineral acidity, primarily as Fe(II) and Al. Before spring runoff, the flow of Imgok Creek is 3.3-4 times greater than that of the tributary and has an alkalinity of 100 mg CaCO(3)/l, which is sufficient to eliminate the mineral acidity and raise the pH to about 6.5. From April through September 2008, there were at least two periods of high surface flow that affects the flow of ARD from the adit. Flow of ARD reaches 2.8 m(3)/min during spring runoff. This raised the concentrations of Fe and Al in the confluence with Imgok Creek. However, by 2 km downstream the pH of the Imgok Creek is 6.5 and only dissolved Fe is above the Korean drinking water criteria (0.30 mg/l). This suggests only a minor impact of Young Dong Creek water on Imgok Creek. Acid digestion of the sediments in Imgok Creek and Young Dong Tributary reveals considerable abundances of heavy metals, which could have a long-term impact on water quality. However, several water-based leaching tests, which better simulate the bioavailable metals pool, released only Al, Fe, Mn, and Zn at concentrations exceeding the criteria for drinking water or aquatic life.
