An QuEChERS-UPLC-MS/MS method was developed for the simultaneous determination of eight hydroxylated polybrominated diphenyl ethers( OH-PBDEs) in soil samples. After being mixed with 10 mL of water, the sample was extracted with acidified acetonitrile, cleaned up by C18 and primary secondary amine ( PSA ) . The separation of eight OH-PBDEs was performed on a C18 column using gradient elution of acetonitrile and water as mobile phase within 9 min. The OH-PBDEs were analyzed under the multiple-reaction monitoring ( MRM ) mode with negative electrospay ionization. Under the optimal conditions, the calibration curves were linear well in the range of 2-200 μg/L with correlation coefficients ranging from 0. 9936 to 0. 9990, and the limits of detection of eight OH-PBDEs were in the range of 0. 23-1. 21 ng/g. At the spiked levels of 5. 0 and 50 ng/g, the average spiked recoveries for eight OH-PBDEs were between 73. 2% and 117. 7%, with the relative standard derivations ( RSDs) from 5. 6% to 19. 7%. The developed method is simple and sensitive, and suitable for the rapid analysis of large quantities of samples.

Objective To explore the relationship between ATP content in CD4+ T lymphocytes and acute rejection after liver transplantation(LT). Methods This study contained 77 patients who received LT from February to October 2009, They were divided into AR (acute rejection) and NAR (non-acute rejection) groups while 56 healthy people were enrolled to serve as the control group.Blood specimens were collected preoperatively and at 1, 2 and 4 weeks postoperatively. For the AR group, specimens were also collected on the day when AR occurred and 1 week after steroid bump together with that of the healthy people. ImmuKnowTM test kits for immune cell function were used to assay the ATP value. Results ATP values within CD4+T lymphocytes were elevated significantly in each group compared with those preoperatively. Peak level was reached in the AR group and was significantly higher than that of the contemporary NAR group (P＜0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the obvious elevation of the ATP value within CD4+ T lymphocytes 1 week postoperatively had better sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing AR. The ATP sensitivity rate for early AR was 84.6 %and specificity rate 81 %. The ATP value within CD4+ T lymphocytes on the day of AR occurrence had a positive relationship with the rejection acting index(RAI), while relative index (r) was 0. 876(P＜0.05). After the steroid dump treatment, AR in all the patients was reversed and the ATP value declined significantly as compared with the control group and the day when AR occurred(P＜0. 05).Conclusion During the postoperative period, the dynamic change of ATP value within CD4 + T lymphocyte had a close relationship with acute rejection after liver transplantation. Thus, it might be used as a feasible and noninvasive monitoring index for diagnosing AR and the effectiveness of the anti-rejection treatment.

Objective:To investigate the strategy and the clinical effect of single stage treatment for intracranial or extracranial artery stenosis with intracranial aneurysm.Methods:The clinical data of 15 patients with intracranial aneurysms and extracranial or intracranial artery stenosis treated by one-stage endovascular therapy at Department of Neurosurgery of Peking University First Hospital from April 2013 to September 2018 were analyzed,respectively.There were 6 males and 9 females,aged (63.9±9.1)years (range:43 to 79 years).Fifteen arterial stenosis were found, including 8 in anterior circulatiion and 7 in posterior circulation, and the stenosis rates ranged from 75% to 95%. There were 17 aneurysms, among which 11 in the anterior circulation and 6 in the posterior.The maximal diameter was (5.3±1.2)mm (range:3 to 7 mm).All patients were treated with stenting and embolization at one stage. The operation choices, perioperative and postoperative symptoms,imaging data and complications were recorded.Results:Stents were successfully implanted into arterial stenosis of 15 cases, reducing the stenosis rates to less than 30%.Among the 17 aneurysms,10 cases were treated by coil embolization alone,7 cases by stenting and coil embolization. Eventually all the 17 aneurysms reached complete embolization.One patient had mild symptoms of the cerebral infarction during the perioperative period,and the rest had not shown surgical complications.The follow-up time was (43.8±8.2)months (range:24 to 85 months). All the patients underwent digital subtraction angiography 6 to 12 months after operation.Among them,2 cases had asymptomatic in-stent restenosis,and no recurrence was found in aneurysms.Up to the last follow-up,no patients had showed new symptoms or signs of intracranial hemorrhage or ischemic stroke.Conclusions:For patients suffered from both stenosis and aneurysms,individualized treatment should be made based on the location and severity of the vascular stenosis and aneurysms.With careful preoperative evaluation and surgical planning,the single stage endovascular treatment for intracranial or extracranial artery stenosis combined with intracranial aneurysm is safe,feasible and effective for selected patients.

Objective To explore the effect of multiparameter electroencephalogram(EEG)-guided anesthesia management on EEG burst suppression(BS)and postoperative delirium(POD)in elderly patients undergoing lower abdominal laparoscopic surgery.Methods A total of 100 elderly patients,48 males and 52 females,aged 65-85 years,BMI 18.5-28.0 kg/m2,and ASA physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ,were enrolled for lower abdominal surgery under general anesthesia.Patients were randomly divided into two groups:multiparameter group and single parameter group,50 patients in each group.In multiparameter group,multiparameter EEG monitoring with patient statu index(PSI),spectral edge frequency(SEF),burst suppression ratio(BSR)and density spectral array(DSA)were used to guide the depth management of anesthesia.In single parameter group,single parameter PSI was used to guide the depth management of anesthesia.The total area under the hypotensive threshold of MAP(AUTMAP)was calculated,and the amount of anesthetic used during the operation and the use of vasoactive drugs,duration of anesthesia,extu-bation time,duration of PACU stay,and postoperative hospitalisation days were recorded.HR,MAP,PSI,and SEF were recorded before the induction of anesthesia,5 minutes after induction of anesthesia,5,30,and 60 minutes after incision,and at the end of surgery.The incidence,duration,and maximum BSR of in-traoperative BS,as well as the incidence of POD 1,2,and 3 days after surgery were recorded.Results There was no significant difference in AUTMAP values between the two groups.Compared with single parame-ter group,intraoperative propofol and remifentanil dosage were significantly decreased(P＜0.05),awak-ening time,PACU stay,and postoperative hospitalization time were significantly shorter in multiparameter group(P＜0.05),the PSI was significantly increased 5,30,and 60 minutes after incision and at the end of surgery,and the SEF was significantly increased 5 minutes after induction of anesthesia,5,30,and 60 minutes after induction and the end of surgery(P＜0.05).Compared with single parameter group,inci-dence of intraoperative BS was significantly decreased,duration of BS was significantly shorter,smaller maximum BSR was significantly decreased,and incidence of POD on 1 day after surgery in multiparameter group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Anesthesia management guided by multiparameter EEG can inhibit the oc-currence of BS,mitigate the degree of BS,and reduce the incidence of POD in elderly patients undergoing abdominal surgery.

Objective:To comprehensively evaluate the utilization of some essential medicines among elderly people in clinic settings in China, in order to provide a reference for the selection of fully reimbursed medicines for the elderly.Methods:Expert consultations were conducted to evaluate the utilization of 58 essential medicines related to eight major therapeutic areas, including neurology, psychiatry, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, among elderly people.The evaluation indexes included safety, efficacy, compliance by medical staff, compliance by patients, clinical value, and pharmaceutical economics.Results:Except for psychiatry, authority coefficients for drugs related to the other therapeutic areas were greater than 0.7, indicating that experts were familiar with the indications of the medications.According to the comprehensive evaluation scores, 10 medicines, i.e., nitroglycerin, metoprolol tartrate, isosorbide dinitrate, omeprazole, metformin, amlodipine, aspirin, acarbose, valsartan, and clopidogrel, could be considered as the first choices for guaranteed essential drugs for the elderly.Meanwhile, another 10 medicines, including nifedipine, estazolam, tamsulosin, simvastatin, alfacalcidol, enalapril, bisoprolol, beclomethasone dipropionate, ipratropium, and salbutamol, could be considered as the second choices for guaranteed essential drugs for elderly people.Conclusions:The first choices recommended by experts as guaranteed essential drugs for the elderly are mainly cardiovascular, endocrine and respiratory medicines, in line with the disease spectrum of the elderly.The selection of essential medications with full cost reimbursement for elderly patients should be those frequently used and with a burden of high medicine costs.

Objective This retrospective,single-center study evaluated short-and mid-term results of minimally invasive surgery to occlude ventricular septal defects(VSDs) through right subaxillary approach.Methods The procedure was performed on 624 children,224 boys and 205 girls;aged(2.4 ± 2.2) years;mean weight(12.3 ± 10.2)kg between January 2014 to December 2017 at the Children' s Heart Center of Henan Province People' s Hospital.An approximately 2 cm right subaxillary incision was made between the third and fifth ribs.The right atrium or ventricle was punctured under the guidance of transencephalographic echocardiography(TEE).The VSD was occluded under TEE guidance.Results The mean size of VSDs was(4.2 ±0.9)mm,and the occluder measured(5.2 ± 1.2)mm.Asymmetrical occluders were used in 28 patieuts and symmetrical occluders in 596 patients.The operative time was(58.5 ± 20.2) minutes,and the time in the intensive care unit (ICU) was(19.4 ±6.7) h.Blood loss was(10.4 ±9.5) ml.There were no deaths among these patients.Occluder displacement occurred in two cases.The complications such as Ⅲ degree atrioventricular block,new aortic regurgitation,reoperation foi massive bleeding,and serious infection were not observed.All patients were followed up for 6-48 months.There were 15 cases of residual shunt after operation.Eight cases were self-closed during follow-up,and 5 cases were still followed up.No complications such as reoperation,aortic regurgitation,atrioventricular block or occluder abscission was observed during the follow-up period.Conclusion Occluding VSDs using the right subaxillary approach is safe and effective.Short-term and midterm results are satisfactory.Further follow-up is required regarding long-term results.
