Blue swimming crab (Portunus (Portunus) pelagicus (Linnaeus, 1758)) is included as one of the fishery commodities that has high economic value and becomes one of the primadonnas in the field of fisheries. Besides in the local market, the blue swimming crabs can be one of the high levels and promising export commodities. The purpose of this research is to determine the size distribution and sex ratio from blue swimming crab in Java Sea near Gebang Mekar Village, Cirebon Regency. This research was conducted in Gebang Mekar Village, Cirebon Regency at September 2019 – October 2019 using the case study method with descriptive analysis and quantitative approach. Primary data used are the carapace width of blue swimming crab, amount of male and female blue swimming crab and female blue swimming crab containing egg. The results of the research that blue swimming crab catched by crab gillnet in Java Sea near Gebang Mekar Village, Cirebon Regency have sex ratio 1:1 and the growth of male crabs in these waters was faster than that of female crabs.

The objective of the study was to estimate the prevalence at birth and epidemiologic characteristics of patients/cases with both isolated and multiple “syndromic” external ear congenital abnormalities (CAs) in Hungary. The Hungarian Congenital Abnormality Registry, 1980–1996, included 649 cases with isolated external ear CAs, while the number of cases with unclassified multiple CA, including ear CAs, was 331. Thus the prevalence at birth of cases with isolated external ear CAs and unclassified multiple CAs was 0.30 and 0.15, respectively, for a total 0.46 per 1000 births. After reevaluation of reported 354 cases with isolated external ears CAs in the Hungarian Case-Control Surveillance of Congenital Abnormalities, 74 (20.9%) and 236 (66.7%) were affected with mild and severe microtia, while 24 (6.8%) had anotia. The fourth group included 20 cases with the combination of anotia/microtia and external/middle ear CAs. Isolated ear CAs showed a slight male excess (54.0%) and strong predominance of unilateral manifestation (93.4%). Multiple ear CAs showed a stronger male excess (65.4%) and less frequent unilateral affection (62.2%). In conclusion, ear CAs had a low diagnostic validity; thus it was necessary to reassess the data and to reclassify several cases.

Introduction: The increasing incidence of multiple sclerosis, particularly among women in Europe and North America, has a multifactorial aetiology. Method: The aim of the current study was to ascertain the relation between the hygiene level and occurrence of multiple sclerosis in women in Poland. The study was based on a large cohort of 14,200 multiple sclerosis individuals (male – 6,106, female – 8,094) who died in the years 1981–2010 in Poland. The female to male ratio (the F:M ratio) in the multiple sclerosis group was calculated using the number of deaths per year. The rate of late mortality in infants (LMI) per 1,000 live births yearly was used as a marker of the hygiene level. A correlation analysis was carried out between the rate of LMI and the F:M ratio in the multiple sclerosis cohort in the years 1981–2010. Demographic data were obtained from the Central Statistical Office in Warsaw. Results: The F:M ratio in the multiple sclerosis group evidently increased (range 1.08–1.79) in the years 1981–2010, showing increasing occurrence of multiple sclerosis in women (p < 0.0001). A significant, strong and inverse correlation was found between the marker of the hygiene level (LMI rate) and the F:M ratio in the multiple sclerosis group over three decades: linear correlation coefficient by Pearson: r = –0.693, p < 0.0001. By contrast with this result, no correlation was established between the hygiene level marker and proportion of women to men in the general population on account of extremely low variance of the F:M ratio (0.000025). Conclusion: The improvement of the hygiene level showed association with the increasing occurrence of multiple sclerosis in women in the years 1981–2010. The higher the hygiene level was, the greater the occurrence of female multiple sclerosis in Poland.

Wprowadzenie: Wzrastająca zachorowalność na stwardnienie rozsiane, szczególnie u kobiet w Europie i Ameryce Północnej, ma wieloczynnikową etiologię. Metoda: Celem bieżącego badania było ustalenie relacji między poziomem higieny i występowaniem stwardnienia rozsianego u kobiet w Polsce. Badanie oparto na dużej kohorcie 14 200 chorych na stwardnienie rozsiane (mężczyźni – 6106, kobiety – 8094), którzy zmarli w latach 1981–2010 w Polsce. Wskaźnik kobiet do mężczyzn (WKM) ze stwardnieniem rozsianym obliczono na podstawie rocznej liczby zgonów. Współczynnik późnej umieralności niemowląt (PUN) na 1000 żywych urodzeń rocznie zastosowano jako miernik poziomu higieny. Wykonano badanie korelacji pomiędzy współczynnikiem PUN i WKM w stwardnieniu rozsianym w latach 1981–2010. Dane demograficzne uzyskano z Głównego Urzędu Statystycznego w Warszawie. Wyniki: Wskaźnik kobiet do mężczyzn w zbiorowości osób ze stwardnieniem rozsianym wzrósł znacząco (zasięg 1,08–1,79) w latach 1981–2010, wykazując rosnące występowanie stwardnienia rozsianego u kobiet (p < 0,0001). Stwierdzono istotną, mocną, odwróconą korelację między miernikiem poziomu higieny (współczynnikiem PUN) i WKM w stwardnieniu rozsianym w ciągu trzech dekad; współczynnik liniowej korelacji Pearsona: r = –0,693, p < 0,0001. W przeciwieństwie do tego wyniku nie ustalono korelacji między markerem poziomu higieny i proporcją kobiet do mężczyzn w ogólnej populacji ze względu na skrajnie niską wariancję WKM (0,000025). Wniosek: Poprawa poziomu higieny wykazała asocjację z wzrastającym występowaniem stwardnienia rozsianego u kobiet w latach 1981–2010. Im wyższy był poziom higieny, tym większe było występowanie stwardnienia rozsianego u kobiet w Polsce.

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dioxins (PCDDs/Fs) are well-known endocrine disrupters. This paper strives to elucidate the data on reproductive consequences of perinatal dioxin and PCB exposure in men and women. We focused on the following end-points: sex-ratio, endometriosis, menstrual cycle characteristics, sperm quality, and prematurity. We summarize 46 papers and compare their results including effects seen after exposure to background concentrations. Seven of twelve studies showed a decrease in sex-ratio after parental dioxin or PCB exposure. In three of the seven studies, effects were seen after paternal exposure and in three after maternal exposure. In eight of the nine studies on menstrual cycle characteristics, abnormalities were associated with PCB or dioxin exposure, however the results differed. In three studies PCB and TCDD were associated with longer menstrual cycles, while three studies indicated that an increase in PCB/PCDF exposure was associated with shorter cycles. Five studies showed effects on menstrual bleeding with higher PCB or dioxin exposure. A higher rate of irregular menstrual cycles in exposed women was seen in four studies. The conflicting outcomes probably result from variability in study design, timing of exposure and endocrine disrupting properties of the measured congeners. Nine of sixteen studies detected higher PCB or dioxin exposure in women with endometriosis. However, the manner of diagnosing endometriosis and the character of the studies varied from prospective to retrospective. Five of eight studies focusing on sperm quality showed that men, with higher serum concentrations of PCBs and/or PCB congeners and/or PCDFs, had reduced sperm quality, including increased abnormal morphology and reduced motility. The exposure timeframe seemed important here. There are two studies addressing preterm birth in relation to PCBs, one mentioned a shortening of three days of gestational age, two other studies did not find a relation. Recently one study related a shorter gestational age of half a week with overall dioxin activity measured with the CALUX method in cord blood, particularly in boys. In conclusion, exposure to PCBs and dioxins has a negative effect on the reproductive systems of human populations. Although some speculations have been made, the exact mechanism of these effects and the interactions of these compounds with other endocrine disruptors are not yet known. Age at exposure and congener specific properties are probably crucial in interpreting the observed results.
