We report a spectrophotometic method for the determination of cyanogen chloride (CNCl) in air pollution.Experimental parameters for the stability and absorbility of CNCl gas in the different media were studied.The experimental conditions were optimized for CNCI as follows:absorbent:1%isonicotinic acid-barbituric acid;reaction acidity:pH 5.8 in phosphate buffer at room temperature;masking agent:0.01mol/L EDTA;λmax:598nm. The apparent molar absorptivity was found to be 1.17×105L·mol-1·cm-1,the linear range was within 0～5μg of CNCl in 25 mL solution; the regression equation of the curve has given by A=-0.0040+1.935C(r=0.9999).The method has been applied to the determination of CNCl in chimney gas,workshop air and production area air of the cyanuric trichloride plant,chemical works and pharmaceutical factory air.The relative standard deviation was below 2.7%(n=4)for the cyanogen chloride amount within 13～64mg/m3,and when CNCl amounts were within 0.1～1.0mg/m3,RSD was below 6.9%(n=6).The recovery was 98.7%.

Objective: To explore the mediating effect of self-efficacy for exercise on social support and kinesiophobia in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), so as to provide insights into alleviating fear for exercise and formulating exercise intervention programs. Methods: RA patients hospitalized in a tertiary hospital in Harbin City from June to December 2023 were selected, and the levels of kinesiophobia, self-efficacy for exercise and social support were investigated using the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (Chinese version), the Self-Efficacy for Exercise and the Social Support Rating Scale, respectively. The mediating effect of self-efficacy for exercise on social support and kinesiophobia was examined using a structural equation model. Results: A total of 216 people were investigated, including 45 males (20.83%) and 171 females (79.17%), with the median age of 54.00 (interquartile range, 13.75) years. There were 159 of patients living in the urban areas, accounting for 73.61%. There were 102 of patients with a disease course of 1 to 5 years, accounting for 47.22%. The median scores of kinesiophobia, self-efficacy for exercise and social support were 31.00 (interquartile range, 5.00), 5.00 (interquartile range, 2.00) and 39.50 (interquartile range, 17.00), respectively. Social support had a direct negative effect on kinesiophobia (effect value=-0.358, P<0.05) and a indirect negative effect on kinesiophobia through self-efficacy for exercise (effect value=-0.887, P<0.05), and the mediating effect contributed 93.86% to the total effect. Conclusion Social support can directly or indirectly influence kinesiophobia through self-efficacy for exercise among patients with RA.

Objective:To evaluate the feasibility of using Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4) to screen for depression and anxiety in inpatients in general hospitals.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 695 inpatients from 10 ClassⅡ Grade A and above comprehensive hospitals in Nanjing from January to June 2021 were selected as the research objects. They were investigated by PHQ-4, Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 (GAD-7) to compare the screening results of different measuring tools for depression and anxiety. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive value of PHQ-4, Kappa test was used to analyze the consistency, Cronbach's α coefficient was used to evaluate the internal consistency of the scale, and Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate the calibration correlation validity. A total of 695 questionnaires were sent out in this study, and 672 were effectively collected, with an effective recovery rate of 96.69% (672/695) .Results:Among 672 inpatients in general hospitals, the detection rate of depression and anxiety in patients using PHQ-4 was 38.39% (258/672), while that in patients using PHQ-9 and GAD-7 was 41.82% (281/672), and the difference showed no statistical significance (χ 2=1.64, P=0.20). Cronbachs'α coefficient of PHQ-4 was 0.913, and the half reliability coefficient was 0.888. The Kappa value of the consistency test between PHQ-4, PHQ-9, and GAD-7 for depression and anxiety screening results was 0.756 ( P<0.01). The correlation coefficients between the total scores of PHQ-4, PHQ-9 and GAD-7 in 672 inpatients from general hospitals were 0.822 and 0.802, respectively (both P<0.01). The area under the ROC curve of PHQ-4 was 0.936. With a critical score of 3, the sensitivity and specificity of PHQ-4 were 81.9% and 92.8%, respectively. Conclusions:The detection rate of PHQ-4 and PHQ-9 and GAD-7 on depression and anxiety state of inpatients in general hospital is similar, and has good reliability and validity, which is suitable for the screening of depression and anxiety of inpatients in general hospital.
