Objective:To establish a method to determine the content of bacterial endotoxin in iodixanol. Methods:The standard curve of kinetic turbidimetric method was established and the dilution ratio was optimized by interference test. Bacterial endotoxin in the samples was determined. Results:The dilution ratio of 1 ∶12 did not interfere with the test. The recovery rate of bacterial endotox-in was 50%-200%. Conclusion:The kinetic turbidimetric method is suitable for the determination of bacterial endotoxin in iodixanol.

Objective:To explore the regional brain activities in healthy adolescent subjects after sleep deprivation (SD) using amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) method.Methods:Total of 16 healthy adolescent subjects (8 males,8 females;aged 13-20 years) were recruited in the community and the campus through the internet and posters.Each of the 16 healthy adolescent subject underwent the attention network test and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) session twice:once was after rested wakefulness (RW condition),and the other was after SD condition.Amplitude of low frequency fluctuation (ALFF) method was used to assess the local brain features.The mean ALFF signal values of the different brain areas were performed to investigate their relationships with the accuracy rate,reaction time and lapse rate in the attention network test,and were analyzed with a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve to investigate their sensitivities and specificities to distinguish the SD condition from the RW condition.Results:Subjects showed a lower response accuracy rate [(83 ± 12) ％ vs.(97 ± 4) ％,P ＜ 0.05],a longer response time [(832 ± 134) ms vs.(715 ± 97) ms,P ＜ 0.05] and a higher lapse rate [(15 ± 11)％ vs.(2.4 ±7.3)％,P ＜0.05] under SD condition than under RW condition.They showed higher ALFF area in the right cuneus (BA 17,BA 18),and lower ALFF areas in the right lentiform nucleus,right claustrum,left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (BA 46) and left inferior parietal cortex (BA 39) under SD condition than under RW condition.Under SD condition,the mean ALFF signal value of the right claustrum showed a significant positive correlation with the accuracy rate (r =0.69,P ＜0.05),and a negative correlation with the lapse rate (r =-0.71,P ＜0.05).The mean ALFF signal value of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex showed a significant positive correlation with the reaction time (r =0.68,P ＜ 0.05).The values of area under the curve of the right cuneus,right lentiform nucleus,right claustrum,left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and left inferior parietal cortice were 0.9,0.8,0.9,0.8 and 0.9,respectively.These different ALFF areas also showed high degree of sensitivities and specificities.Conclusion:Sleep deprivation leads to the dysfunction in the default mode network,anticorrelatedtask-positive network,and advanced cognitive function brain areas,and the functional compensation in the visual network.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness of vocal cord cyst excision with electronic laryngoscope (EL) and self-retaining laryngoscope (SRM). METHOD: Nightly-two patients, diagnosed as vocal cord cyst with strobolaryngoscope or electronic laryngoscope, were randomly divided into two groups. One group was 48 cases treated with electronic laryngoscope and another group was 44 cases treated with self-retaining laryngoscope. Electronic laryngoscopy examination and voice function assessments were performed to all patients, preoperatively and postoperatively at one week, three months and six months. RESULT: One failed cases under SRM, difficult exposure of glottic portion, were treated under EL. The recurrence rate of the two groups was of no statistical significance in three months after operation. Voice function assessment of the two groups was of no statistical significance at one week, three months and six months after operation. CONCLUSION The operation under electronic laryngoscope is a minimal invasive procedure to the laryngeal mucosa. Electronic laryngoscope had advantages such as clear view, accurate operation. Furthermore, it can be used for those that could not be treated under self-retaining laryngoscope.

Objective: To investigate the pathological characteristics of bladder low malignant potential papillary urothelial tumors (PUNLMP) and the predic factors of recurrence and pathological progress. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 150 patients of bladder PUNLMP in the Department of Urology of Xijing Hospital from February 2009 to February 2019. Among the 150 patients, 118 patients were males and 32 patients were females. The average age was 57 years, ranging 20-93 years. There were 112 cases of single tumor and 38 cases of multiple tumor. All patients received transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) and 136 patients received bladder infusion chemotherapy, including 61 patients for pirarubicin, 58 patients for gemcitabine, 11 patients for epirubicin, and 11 patients for mitomycin. 14 patients did not receive bladder infusion chemotherapy. In this study, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to investigate independent predictors of recurrence and pathological progression in patients of bladder PUNLMP who received TURBT. Results: The average follow-up time was 25.6 months, ranging 5.5-122.7 months. Among the patients, 21 patients occurred recurrence. The recurrent duration ranged from 2.2 to 108.3 months (mean 23.1 months). 12 patients had pathological progression, including 9 patients for low-grade non-invasive papillary urothelial carcinoma, 1 patient for high-grade non-invasive papillary urothelial carcinoma, 1 patient for high-grade invasive urothelial carcinoma, 1 patient for squamous cell carcinoma. The progressive duration ranged from 2.2 to 56.3 months (mean 21.5 months). Among the 150 patients, 18 patients with inverted growth pattern did not recur. There were significant differences in the number of tumors and the tumor length between the recurrence and non-recurrence groups, same as the progression and non-progression groups. The univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed that the number of tumors was an independent predictor of tumor recurrence (OR=7.884, 95%CI 2.815-22.082, P<0.05)and progression(OR=6.107, 95%CI 1.659-22.473, P=0.006) in patients of bladder PUNLMP. Bladder infusion chemotherapy failed to reduce the risk of recurrence and progression. Conclusions About 14% (21/150) patients of bladder PUNLMP reoccurred after TURBT. About half of them had pathological progression, and most of them progressed to low-grade non-invasive papillary urothelial carcinoma. Multiple tumors was an independent risk factor for postoperative recurrence and progression. Bladder infusion chemotherapy did not reduce the risk of recurrence and progression in patients of bladder PUNLMP.

The guidelines for curriculum ideological and political of nursing ethics explored the ideological and political elements of Chinese nursing， and proposed the curriculum’s ideological and political goals. The development framework and basic ideas of guidelines were formed from the aspects of the integration path of curriculum ideological and political， and professional teaching， searching for the entry point of curriculum ideological and political， reforming the teaching methodology， enriching the form of teaching， and constructing the case base of curriculum ideological and political. It promoted the deep integration of nursing professional knowledge transmission and ideological value guidance， created a distinctive education system of curriculum ideological and political for nursing ethics， and provided a reference for the curriculum ideological and political construction of national nursing ethics.
