A method for the determination of bisphenol A, octyphenol, nonylphenol in water samples was developed using stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) based on poly (vinylimidazole-divinylbenzene) monolithic material (SBSEM) combined with high performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection.To achieve the optimum extraction performance, several main extraction parameters, including extraction and desorption time, pH value and contents of inorganic salt in the sample matrix, were investigated.Under the optimized experimental conditions, the method showed good linearity and repeatability, low detection limits (S/N = 3) and quantification limits (S/N = 10) of the proposed method for the target compounds were achieved within the range of 0.13-0.66 and 0.44-2.19 μg/L, respectively.The extraction performance of SBSEM to the target compounds was also compared with commercial SBSE which used polydimethylsiloxane as coating.The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of the target compounds in water samples.The recoveries of spiked target compounds in real samples ranged from 37.8%-101.1%.The results indicated that the developed method possessed advantages such as sensitivity, simplicity, low cost and high feasibility.

Objective:In order to provide policy-makers with basis and reference for improving the operational efficiency of county general public hospitals, this paper studies the changes in overall efficiency, technical efficiency and scale efficiency of 40 county general public hospitals in Fujian province from 2009 to 2014 , as well as how the to-tal factor productivity changes over the time. Methods: After collecting the relevant data of hospital operations from 2009 to 2014, this paper uses CCR, BBC, Malmquist model and other data envelopment analysis (DEA) methods to analyze the data. Results:The vast majority of those 40 county general public hospitals are in decreasing state. The total factor productivity of 40 hospitals from 2009 to 2014 is 1. 019. There are 21 hospitals (52. 5%) that slightly im-proved their productivity, of which 3 hospitals increased their productivity mainly due to technological progress, 3 hospitals due to efficiency increase, and the rest 15 hospitals due to the effect of both technological progress and effi-ciency increase. Conclusions:The operational efficiency of county general public hospitals in Fujian province is gen-erally insufficient, and there are significant differences between operating efficiency of different regions. The efficien-cy of hospitals in mountainous areas had increased, but the efficiency of hospitals in coastal areas had decreased. Therefore, in order to increase investment in county general public hospitals, the government should take differential policy and pay attention to the reasonable control of hospital size, as well as to strengthen the connotation building and attach importance to improving medical service technologies.

Objective To summarize the experience of establishing the stable rat model of chronic allograft nephropathy. Methods We used Fisher rats as donors and Lewis rats as recipients.After the left kidney of the donor perfused in situ under hypothermic condition, the left renal vein,abdominal aorta and bladder flap of the donor was anastomosed with the left renal vein, renal artery and bladder of the recipient, respectively. The recipients were given cyclosporin oral solution 10 mg/kg every day by gavage for 10 days after transplantation. The blood and urine samples were collected 1 month, 2 months and 4 months after transplantation and renal function and total urine protein were examined. The pathological changes of the renal allograft were observed 2 and 4 months after transplantation. Results Forty-five rats received operation and achievement ratio was 85%. The renal transplantations were finished in 120 ± 20 min. The Scr, BUN, Cycs and total urine protein demonstrated a significant increase one month after transplantation. On the second and fourth month,with the exception of urine protein continued to increase, the other indicators did not change significantly. Two months after transplantation renal pathology demonstrated light to moderate interstitial fibrosis, infiltration of lymphocytes and plasma cells. At 4th month the renal allografts showed extensive interstitial fibrosis, a large number of infiltrating interstitial cells, thickening,hardening, occlusion of glomerular basement membrane, and renal tubular atrophy that were consistent with pathological changes of chronic allograft nephropathy. Conclusion Through adequate surgical training and improvement, and specification for rat nephrectomy, transplantation surgery,and postoperative management in every detail, the model with high success rate and stability can be achieved.

Objective To compare the adverse reactions of intranasal and intravenous dexmedetomidine on tracheal extubation during wake up of general anesthesia.Methods One hundred and twenty patients who ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ grade were divided into four groups (each 30 patients) by random digits table method.The patients in intravenous group were given 0.5 μ g/kg intravenous dexmedetomidine (diluted to 10 ml by 0.9％ sodium chloride,intravenous injection slowly,≥30 s).The patients in intranasal group 1 were given 0.5 μg/kg intranasal dexmedetomidine.The patients in intranasal group 2 were given 0.8 μg/kg intranasal dexmedetomidine.The patients in control group were given intravenous 0.9％ sodium chloride.The systolic blood pressure(SBP),mean arterial blood pressure (MAP),heart rate were compared among groups.Eyes open time and extubation time,the rate of cough and the degree during extubation were compared too.Results The SBP,MAP,heart rate in intravenous group,intranasal group 1 were significantly higher than those in basal state (P ＜ 0.05).The SBP,MAP,heart rate at different time in intranasal group 2 had no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).The SBP,MAP,heart rate before extubation and after extubation for 3 min in control group were significantly higher than those in intravenous group,intranasal group 1 and intranasal group 2 (P ＜ 0.05).Eyes open time and extubation time among four groups had no significant difference(P ＞0.05).The rate of cough,restlessness and 3 scores of degree before extubation in intravenous group,intranasal group 1 and intranasal group 2 were significandy lower than those in control group [43％ (13/30),50％(15/30),47％(14/30) vs.70％ (21/30); 17％(5/30),23％(7/30),20％(6/30) vs.43％(13/30);53％ (16/30),60％ (18/30),50％ (15/30) vs.80％ (24/30)] (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Either intravenous or intranasal dexmedetomidine can effectively prevent the stress reaction during extubation,decrease the degree of restlessness and cough.Intranasal dexmedetomidine(0.8 μ g/kg) is more effective and safe.

Objective To identify the association of oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SaO2) with late-onset hypertension in the Chinese Han population located in the Daxinganling area.Methods A total participants were selected by convenience sampling methods from the Daxinganling area.All data were collected from each person by the questionnaire record of physical examinations as well as biochemical index measuring.SaO2 was noninvasively measured with finger pulse oxymetry,the reported SaO2 was the average of three readings taken 10 seconds apart.Results There were significant differences for SaO2 within the population of individuals,the mean SaO2 values was 97.71%±6.14%,with range from 88% to 100%.There was association of SaO2 with sex,BMI and age.SaO2 level declined with BMI and age increasing.Particularly,it was found that the risk increasing to hypertension was marked association with SaO2 rapid drop.During the period from 40-50 years of age,SaO2 declined from 97.85% to 97.64%,The risk to hypertension increased more than 10 times(P<0.001).That implicated hypoxia mightinvolve in the etiology of hypertension.Conclusions The preliminary results demonstrated the rapid decline of SaO2 with lapse of age may be one of the major risk factors to hypertension,it may be helpful to explain late-onset hypertension to some extent at least.

Objective To evaluate the outcomes and complications of permanent brachytherapy combined with external beam radiotherapy and hormonal therapy for local high-risk or intermediated-risk prostate cancer.Methods There were 354 men with local high-risk or intermediated-risk prostate cancer were reviewed,including 111 men with local intermediated-risk prostate cancer and 243 men with local highrisk prostate cancer.The age of the patients were 48 to 84 years old (mean age 72.4 years old).The preoperative PSA levels were in a range of 3.8 to 99.8ng/ml (mean 29.6 g/ml) and the preoperative Gleason scores were 4 to 9 (mean 6.8).The prostate volume were 13.7 to 65.0 ml (mean 30.5 ml).All the patients were treated with brachytherapy combined with hormonal therapy,including 69 patients received additional external beam radiotherapy.All patients were followed up for biochemical progression-free survival (bPFS),distant disease free survival (DDFS),overall survival (OS),cause-specific survival (CSS) rate and complications.Results Among 354 cases,174 cases underwent brachytherapy after the diagnosis of prostate cancer,and 157 cases underwent brachytherapy after maximal androgen blockade (MAB) treatmentfor 3 months,while the other 23 patients with large prostate underwent brachytherapy after MAB treatment for 6 months.All 354 cases were treated with MAB after brachytherapy.One hundred and eleven cases in intermediated-risk group were treated with MAB for 6 months and 243 cases in high-risk group were treated with MAB for 6 months to 3 years.Another 69 patients received adjuvant external radiotherapy.All cases were followed up for 9 to 128 months (mean 91 months),including 135 cases having biochemical recurrence,and 63 cases having distant metastasis.There were 81 cases died,including 24 cases died of prostate cancer.The overall bPFS,DDFS,OS and CSS were 61.9％,82.2％,77.1％ and 93.2％ respectively.There were significant difference in the survival rate between the high-risk group and the intermediated-risk group(P ＜ 0.001).The incidence of urinary retention and long term urethral stricture were 6.8％ and 1.7％,respectively.No serious complications occurred.Conclusion Permanent brachytherapy combined with external beam radiotherapy and hormonal therapy treating local high-risk or intermediated-risk prostate cancer can be effective with few complications.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of Tonghua Dongbao′s insulin aspart injection (Rishulin) and NovoRapid (Novo Nordisk) in the treatment of diabetes.Methods:A 26-week, randomized, open-label, parallel-group, positive control drug and non-inferiority trial was conducted in 23 centers in China. A total of 563 diabetes with poor blood glucose control treated with insulin for at least 3 months before were included. The subjects were randomized(stratified block random method) into those receiving Rishulin or NovoRapid at a ratio of 3∶1. Both groups were combined with basal insulin (Lantus). The primary endpoint was the change in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) from baseline to the end of 24 weeks of treatment.Results:For full analysis set, after 24 weeks of treatment, HbA1c level of Ruishulin group decreased from (8.66±1.28)% to (7.77±1.09)% ( P<0.001), and that of NovoRapid group decreased from (8.47±1.28) % to (7.65±0.97) % ( P<0.001). Treatment difference in HbA1c (NovoRapid group-Ruishulin group) was -0.061% (95% CI -0.320-0.199). HbA1c<7.0% target reacing rates were 24.26% and 21.21% ( P=0.456), and HbA1c<6.5% target reacing rates were 9.65% and 6.82% ( P=0.310) in Ruishulin group and NovoRapid group, repectively. The standard 2 hours postprandial blood glucose (2hPG) in Ruishulin group decreased from (16.23±5.22) mmol/L to (12.65±4.57) mmol/L ( P<0.001), and 2hPG in NovoRapid group decreased from (16.13±5.37) mmol/L to (11.91)±4.21) mmol/L ( P<0.001). The fingertips blood glucose at 7-point of both groups exhibited varying degrees of reduction compared with those at baseline, repectively. Positive ratios of specific antibodies were 31.68% in Ruishulin group and 36.36% in NovoRapid group ( P=0.320). Ratios of negative to positive were 7.43% and 10.61% ( P=0.360), and ratios of positive to negative were 10.40% and 7.58% ( P=0.360) in Ruishulin group and NovoRapid group, respectively. The incidence of hypoglycemia was 60.05% and 55.40% ( P=0.371), and the incidence of adverse events was 76.60% and 77.70% ( P=0.818) in Ruishulin group and NovoRapid group, respectively. Conclusions:Rishulin is not inferior to NovoRapid, and has shown good efficacy and safety. It can be an ideal choice for clinicians in patients with poor blood glucose control with insulin.

The human Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in a highly conserved ribosome assembly factor SBDS. The functional role of SBDS is to cooperate with another assembly factor, elongation factor 1-like (Efl1), to promote the release of eukaryotic initiation factor 6 (eIF6) from the late-stage cytoplasmic 60S precursors. In the present work, we characterized, both biochemically and structurally, the interaction between the 60S subunit and SBDS protein (Sdo1p) from yeast. Our data show that Sdo1p interacts tightly with the mature 60S subunit in vitro through its domain I and II, and is capable of bridging two 60S subunits to form a stable 2:2 dimer. Structural analysis indicates that Sdo1p bind to the ribosomal P-site, in the proximity of uL16 and uL5, and with direct contact to H69 and H38. The dynamic nature of Sdo1p on the 60S subunit, together with its strategic binding position, suggests a surveillance role of Sdo1p in monitoring the conformational maturation of the ribosomal P-site. Altogether, our data support a conformational signal-relay cascade during late-stage 60S maturation, involving uL16, Sdo1p, and Efl1p, which interrogates the functional P-site to control the departure of the anti-association factor eIF6.
