Asingleparticle-inductivelycoupledplasmamassspectrometric(SP-ICP-MS)methodwas established to detect the size distribution and number concentrations of silver nanoparticle ( AgNPs) in dilute aqueous solution. The optimal dwell time was 3 ms to reduce possibility of two or more particles entering into detector simultaneously. An iterative algorithm was applied to distinguish AgNPs as outliers from baseline and dissolved metal ion signal if the measured intensity was beyond five time standard deviation of whole data. Size distribution and number concentration of three commercial silver nanoparticle dispersions ( nominal diameters of 30, 50, 100 nm) were determined using SP-ICP-MS. The result of SP-ICP-MS is accurately similar to the transmission electron microscopy ( TEM) , indicating that SP-ICP-MS is able to size silver nanoparticles. The particle size detection limit is 25 nm and the limit of number concentration is 8 × 104 particles/L in dilute solution. Tap water added with silver nanoparticle was tested to obtain a similar size distribution and number concentration. This method is simple, fast and highly sensitive, which can be used to investigate risk assessment of silver nanoparticle in aqueous environment and monitor silver nanoparticle in drinking water.

Objective:Through determination of urinary arsenic metabolites in high water arsenic exposed areas of Jilin and Shanxi provinces, to explore the mode and possible influencing factors of arsenic metabolism in different populations.Methods:From October 2018 to August 2019, a cluster sampling was carried out in villages (arsenic in drinking water ≥0.05 mg/L) of some townships (towns) in Lyuliang City, Shanxi Province and Baicheng City, Jilin Province for epidemiological investigation and general health examination. The residents over 35 years old drinking water from local centralized water supply and small well water sources were selected as arsenic exposure group, and people (nearby low-arsenic water source areas) with the same diet and living habits and similar economic conditions were selected as control group. Urine samples were collected. Liquid chromatography-atomic fluorescence spectrometry(LC-AFS) technology was used to separate and detect 4 species of arsenic compounds, including trivalent inorganic arsenic (iAs Ⅲ), pentavalent inorganic arsenic (iAs Ⅴ), methylated arsine (MMA), and dimethylated arsine (DMA). Total arsenic (tAs), inorganic arsenic percentage (iAs%), MMA percentage (MMA%), DMA percentage (DMA%), primary methylation index (PMI) and the secondary methylation index (SMI) were calculated. The influencing factors of arsenic metabolism were analyzed by multiple linear regression. Results:A total of 1 415 villagers were investigated, including 1 256 in arsenic exposure group and 159 in control group. Compared with the control group, there were no significant differences in age, gender ratio and occupation distribution between arsenic exposure group and control group ( P > 0.05), but there were significant differences in smoking, drinking, body mass index (BMI) and education level distribution ( P < 0.05). The median of urinary tAs, iAs%, MMA%, DMA%, PMI and SMI in control group and arsenic exposure group were 12.86 μg/L, 15.03, 5.23, 76.35, 84.97, 93.68 and 69.68 μg/L, 10.24, 8.37, 79.31, 89.76, 90.65, respectively, the levels of urinary tAs, DMA% and PMI in arsenic exposed group were higher than those in control group, while iAs% and SMI were lower than those in control group, the differences were statistically significant ( U=- 13.87, - 4.30, - 6.64, - 6.64, - 1.99, P < 0.05). After analysis of the factors influencing urinary arsenic metabolism in the population, we found that age and BMI had an impact on iAs% ( β=- 0.08, - 0.08, P < 0.05); gender, drinking, BMI and education level were influencing factors of MMA% ( β =- 0.11, - 0.09, - 0.07, 0.08, P < 0.05); DMA% was mainly affected by age, gender, BMI and education level ( β = 0.06, 0.09, 0.10, - 0.09, P < 0.05); PMI was mainly affected by age and BMI ( β = 0.08, 0.08, P < 0.05); while SMI was affected by gender, drinking, BMI and education level ( β=0.09, 0.08, 0.08, - 0.09, P < 0.05). Conclusions:The urinary arsenic metabolism models of different arsenic exposed groups are different. Age, gender, smoking, drinking, BMI and education level may be influencing factors of different arsenic metabolism models.

Objective:To explore the related factors for clinical prognoses of ruptured anterior communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysms.Methods:A retrospective study was performed on the clinical data of 309 patients with ruptured ACoA aneurysms admitted to our hospital from January 2014 to January 2020. The preoperative data included age, gender, smoking history, hypertension, Hunt-Hess grading, Fisher grading, sizes of aneurysms, and spasm of parent artery; and the postoperative data included pneumonia, intracranial infection, cerebral hernia, recurrence and re-hemorrhage of aneurysms, and delayed cerebral ischemia. Clinical prognoses were assessed by modified Rankin scale (mRS). Univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to determine the independent risk factors for clinical prognoses. Preoperative model (independent risk factors appeared before surgery) and postoperative model (independent risk factors appeared during the whole treatment process) were constructed; based on these Logistic models, the preoperative and postoperative independent risk factors were concluded. Independent risk factors presented in the preoperative and postoperative models were used as variables to analyze the predictive value of the models by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:Among 309 patients, 264 (85.4%) had good prognosis and 45 (14.6%) had poor prognosis. (1) Univariate analysis showed that significant differences were noted in proportion of smoking patients, and patients with hypertension, Hunt-Hess grading IV-V, Fisher grading IV, wide-necked aneurysm, re-hemorrhage of aneurysms, cerebral vasospasm, pneumonia, intracranial infection, cerebral hernia, delayed cerebral ischemia, and postoperative lumbar cistern drainage between good prognosis group and poor prognosis group ( P<0.05). (2) Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that Hunt-Hess grading Ⅳ-V ( OR=24.198, P=0.000, 95%CI: 4.288-136.559), Fisher grading Ⅳ ( OR=4.792, P=0.044, 95%CI: 1.040-22.079), spasm of parent artery ( OR=12.136, P=0.005, 95%CI: 2.121-69.426), pneumonia ( OR=8.177, P=0.018, 95%CI: 1.438-46.506), postoperative cerebral hernia ( OR=147.042, P=0.002, 95%CI: 6.386-3385.519) and delayed cerebral ischemia ( OR=606.720, P=0.000, 95%CI: 52.288-7040.088) were independent risk factors for prognoses; postoperative lumbar cister drainage ( OR=0.072, P=0.050, 95%CI: 0.005-1.000) was the independent protective factor. (3) ROC curve showed that the preoperative model (with Hunt-Hess grading IV-V, Fisher grading Ⅳ and cerebral vasospasm as variables) had excellent discrimination with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.870 ( 95%CI: 0.82-0.93, P=0.000), and the postoperative model (with variables of preoperative model, pneumonia, delayed cerebral ischemia, and herniation as variables) had excellent discrimination (AUC=0.980, 95%CI: 0.97-0.99, P=0.000). Conclusion:Besides decreasing Hunt-Hess grading and Fisher grading, and relieving the arterial spasm, the management of lumbar subarachnoid continuous drainage and avoidance of postoperative complications, such as cerebral hernia, delayed cerebral ischemia and pneumonia, can also play important roles in improving the prognoses of ruptured ACoA aneurysms.

This paper mainly analyzes the literature on the training system of physiotherapists at home and abroad in the past 15 years, and compares the training mode, curriculum setting, current situation and application direction of physiotherapists domestic and abroad. The main findings are as follows: at present, the training objectives of Chinese physiotherapists are not clear, the training methods and teaching materials are outdated, the source of teachers are not standardized, the identification of professional qualifications are not completed, and the gap between relevant talents and market demand is large. It is suggested to establish a standardized curriculum and syllabus for physiotherapists, develop a unified industry access and qualification recognition, formulate a training mode which is in line with the national conditions, and focus on solving the imbalance between supply and demand of physiotherapists.
