From explosions to black lung: a history of efforts to control coal mine dust.

Highlights in the history of efforts to prevent occupational lung disease among coal miners in the United States are reviewed. The Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969 is summarized, and the sources and effects of its provisions to prevent coal workers' pneumoconiosis are examined. Descriptions follow of the identification of coal workers' pneumoconiosis as a disease, identification of respirable coal mine dust as its cause, and establishment and enforcement of an exposure limit. The development of prevention efforts focusing on surveillance of both exposure and outcome and of enforcement of dust control methods is examined.

Reconstruction of a face destroyed by an explosion.

We have followed up the course of the facial reconstruction in a 12 year old boy with totally destroyed middle and lower third of the face when the fuse for initial mine activation exploded in his mouth. The boy has undergone more than 20 operations within the 7-year period and his rehabilitation has not been completed, yet.

[Individual identification of cadaver parts after a bomb explosion using oligonucleotide fingerprinting by (GTG)5].

A blind shell suddenly and unexpectedly exploded, and 20 dismembered human remains were discovered. DNA fingerprint was performed to determine whether the 20 human remains were derived from one person or not. DNA was isolated from each of the remains and digested by the restriction enzyme Hinf I and Hae III and hybridized with the oligonucleotide probe (GTG)5. DNA fingerprint using Hinf I demonstrated the same band pattern in 17 out of the 20 remains. However, in the remaining 3 samples, two novel strange bands were observed. DNA fingerprint using Hae III showed completely identical pattern in all of the remains.
