In this study,a method for detecting heavy metal ions using potentiometric sensor and voltammetric sensor was proposed.By exploiting the complementary advantages of potentiometric and voltammetric electrochemical sensor,the traditional electrochemical electrode without special material preparation and modification could be used for the wide range and accurate detection of heavy metal ions in actual water samples.During detection,the concentration of target ion was measured by a potentiometric electrochemical sensor to determine the concentration range.The amperometric electrochemical sensor was then used for calibration and accurate measurement in the appropriate concentration range.Taking copper ion(Cu2+)as an example,the prepared Cu2+water sample and the actual water sample were tested.First,the copper ion selective electrode was used to determine the concentration range of Cu2+in the sample.Then,based on the gold electrode in different concentration range(0.86-100 μg/L and 100-300 μg/L)using two different optimization parameter settings to calibrate the electrochemical sensor and measure,the test results had a good correlation with those by professional water quality testing institutions.The recoveries ranged from 86.7%to 103.0%.The experimental results showed that the combination of potential sensor and current sensor could improve the accuracy of detection of heavy metal ions in water samples by electrochemical sensor.

Objective:To discuss the clinical curative effect of the treatment of bundling bone fragment with figure-of-eight suture through double bone tunnels in the chronic bong mallet finger.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on patients with chronic bong mallet fingers who underwent surgery in the Department of Hand and Foot Microsurgery of Nanjing Jiangbei Hospital from May 2021 to February 2023. During the procedure, made into transverse double bone tunnels on the base of the distal phalanx with 0. 8 mm Kirschner wire, bundling bone fragment with figure-of-eight suture through double bone tunnels, then fixed with Kirschner wire elastic compression. Removal of the Kirschner wire 3 weeks after the procedure, the active flexion and extension range of the joints of the affected finger and the corresponding finger were measured at the last follow-up, then the range of motion (ROM) of the distal interphalangeal joint (DIPJ) and total action movement (TAM) of the fingers (affected and healthy finger) were recorded. The curative effects were evaluated according to the TAM system of the American Association of Hand Surgeons, including 4 grades: excellent, good, fair, and poor. SPSS 13. 0 software was used for statistical analysis of the data, and the measurement data conforming to normal distribution were expressed as Mean ± SD. The ROM of DIPJ and TAM of the affected finger were compared with the corresponding healthy finger 6 months after surgery by a paired sample t test. P<0. 05 indicates that the difference is statistically significant. Results:A total of 30 patients (30 digits) were enrolled, including 19 males and 11 females, and the age ranged from 18 to 62 years old, with an average age of 31 years old. The time from injury to operation was 24 to 65 days (mean of 35 days) . According to Wehbe and Schneider classification, there were 8 cases of type Ⅰa, 6 cases of type Ⅰb, 7 cases of type Ⅱa, 5 cases of type Ⅱb, 2 cases of type Ⅲa and 2 cases of type Ⅲb. All incisions healed well, the intraoperative blood loss was minimal, with no infection. All 30 cases were followed up for 6 to 7 months. All fractures were well aligned and healed, malformed fingers were completely corrected, and no needle tunnel infection or needle breakage were observed. At the last follow-up, the differences of the ROM of the DIPJ [ (30. 2±3. 5) °vs. (30. 4±3. 3) °, t=2. 57, P=0. 463] and the TAM [ (235. 3± 3. 6) ° vs. (237. 7± 4. 2) °, t=1. 78, P= 0. 247 ] between the affected and healthy fingers were not statistically significant. Finger function assessment: 27 cases were excellent, and 3 cases were good, and the excellent and good rate was 100%. Conclusion:Satisfactory therapeutic outcome for the treatment of chronic bong mallet finger deformity can be achieved by bundling bone fragment with figure-of-eight suture through double bone tunnels. It is an effective and practical method.

Objective:To discuss the clinical curative effect and feasibility of the combination therapy of the minimally invasive percutaneous quantitative suture technique eight times and Kirschner wire elastic fixation in the treatment of mallet finger.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on patients with tendon zone Ⅰ rupture of tendinous mallet fingers who underwent surgery in the Department of Hand and Foot Microsurgery of Nanjing Jiangbei Hospital from July 2021 to June 2023. During the procedure, firstly, the extensor digitalis tendon in the zone Ⅰ was sutured percutaneous with 3-0 thread monofilament sutures in the "quantitative 8-stitch method " according to the pre-marked number sequence of 1 to 8, and fixed at the base of the distal phalanx via a constructed bone tunnel. Secondly, the distal interphalangeal joint (DIPJ) was fixed elastically with Kirschner wire, without damage to the articular surface. Four to five weeks after the operation, the Kirschner wire was removed, and flexion and extension of the affected finger were gradually increased. At the last follow-up, the range of motion (ROM) and the total action motion (TAM) of the finger were recorded, and the healthy side of the ROM and TAM slightly differed. Finger function was evaluated following the American Association of Hand Surgeons TAM system. It was divided into four grades: excellent, good, fair and poor. SPSS 15.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Measurement data conforming to normal distribution were expressed as Mean±SD, and a paired sample t-test was used for comparison between the affected finger and the corresponding healthy finger. Results:A total of 30 patients (30 digits) were enrolled, including 19 males and 11 females with the age of (38.5±4.3) years (14 to 71 years). All were single closed injuries. Time from injury to operation was (1.1±0.4) d (3 h to 7 d). The distance of tendon break was (8.4±0.5) mm (4 to 12 mm). Mallet finger deformities were all corrected postoperatively. There were no complications such as scar, exposed suture, nail tract infection, or nail removal on the dorsal side of the affected finger. All patients were followed up for (7.5±1.3) months (6-13 months). At the last follow-up, the ROM of DIPJ of the affected finger and the corresponding healthy finger were 43.28°±2.03° and 44.15°±1.12°, respectively, with no statistical significance ( t=1.32, P=0.084). TAM of the affected finger and the corresponding healthy finger were 240.15°±5.13° and 242.13°±3.11°, respectively, with no significant difference ( t=2.12, P=0.135). According to TAM system evaluation criteria, excellent in 27 cases, good in 3 cases, excellent and good rate was 100% (30/30). Conclusion:The combination of the minimally invasive percutaneous quantitative suture technique eight times and Kirschner wire elastic fixation has a satisfactory treatment outcome in the mallet finger, and there is no damage to the DIPJ surface. It is a simple, safe, effective method with minimal invasion.
