Abstract：
:Gebel (In Arch Toxicol 87(5):923-924, 2013) replied to my Letter to the Editor (Morfeld in Arch Toxicol 87(5):921, 2013) in which I criticized the quantitative review of inhalation rat studies on the association of granular biopersistent dust exposures and lung cancer risk (Gebel in Arch Toxicol 86(7):995-1007, 2012). My methodological comments were not understood. The Editors of the Archives invited me to detail and substantiate my criticism. The main issues are as follows: (1) A quantitative summary of the study results was performed without weighting for precision of the single studies (the published unweighted synthesis is potentially biased). (2) No heterogeneity assessment was performed before combining the findings (it is unclear whether overall summaries are sensible). (3) Correlation coefficients were used (correlations are distorted estimates of exposure-response and misleading). (4) An incomplete input data table was published (no transparent reporting, no replication possible for the reader). The quantitative synthesis by Gebel (In Arch Toxicol 86(7):995-1007, 2012) does not fulfil the usual requirements of a scientific quantitative review and should be replaced by an appropriate meta-analysis.

abstract：:The cadmilm-induced (Cd) damage of mammalian testes is thought to be correlated with an inhibition of carbonic anhydrase (CAH) by Cd. Since Cd causes dose-dependent changes in blood flow of the testes, an inhibition of CAH in the testes could be simulated by a decrease of CAH-rich erythrocytes. Therefore, CAH activiti...
