Selenium is an essential trace element. In cattle, selenium deficiency causes dysfunction of various organs, including skeletal
and cardiac muscles. In humans as well, lack of selenium is associated with many disorders, but despite accumulation of clinical
reports, muscle diseases are not generally considered on the list. The goal of this review is to establish the connection
between clinical observations and the most recent advances obtained in selenium biology. Recent results about a possible role
of selenium-containing proteins in muscle formation and repair have been collected. Selenoprotein N is the first selenoprotein
linked to genetic disorders consisting of different forms of congenital muscular dystrophies. Understanding the muscle disorders
associated with selenium deficiency or selenoprotein N dysfunction is an essential step in defining the causes of the disease
and obtaining a better comprehension of the mechanisms involved in muscle formation and maintenance.

The consumption of methyl chloroform (1,1,1-trichloroethane), an industrial solvent, has been banned by the 1987 Montreal Protocol because of its ozone-depleting potential. During the 1990s, global emissions have decreased substantially and, since 1999, near-zero emissions have been estimated for Europe and the United States. Here we present measurements of methyl chloroform that are inconsistent with the assumption of small emissions. Using a tracer transport model, we estimate that European emissions were greater than 20 Gg in 2000. Although these emissions are not significant for stratospheric ozone depletion, they have important implications for estimates of global tropospheric hydroxyl radical (OH) concentrations, deduced from measurements of methyl chloroform. Ongoing emissions therefore cast doubt upon recent reports of a strong and unexpected negative trend in OH during the 1990s and a previously calculated higher OH abundance in the Southern Hemisphere compared to the Northern Hemisphere. 相似文献
