Objective This study was carried out to reveal the photocatalytic degradation characteristics of Bisphenol A,a representative endocrine disruptor,with immobilized nanometer TiO2 catalyst supported on fiberglass net.Methods The effects of photolysis under black light lamp and cold cathode low-pressure mercury lamp,and initial concentration(0.98-6.23 mg/L) on the degradation of bisphenol A(BPA) was explored by photoreactor in laboratory.Photocatalytic mineralization and intermediates under different irradiations was also investigated.Results It was found that the reaction kinetics was first order with respect to BPA concentration,and the apparent kinetic constants decreased with the increase of initial concentration.Photodecomposition of BPA under black light lamp irradiation was caused by not photolysis but photocatalysis,while that under cold cathode low-pressure mercury lamp was caused by the synergistic effect of photolysis as well as photocatalysis.Further studies showed that photocatalytic mineralization of BPA differed greatly under those different irradiations.1,4-benzoquinone,p-dihydroxybenzene,methyl p-hydroxybenzoate,D-hydroxyacetophehone,1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-propanone,1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-vinyl alcohol were identified as intermediates under black light lamp,and 3-hydroxyl-3-crotonic acid,4-hydroxybenzaldehyde,D-hydroxyacetophehone,2-acetyl-3-methoxyl-5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone,3,4-di-(4-hydroxyphenyl)hexane were found under cold cathode low-pressure mercury lamp.Conclusion The differences of photocatalytic mineralization under different illumination are attributed to the molecule structure with two benzene-rings.

ObjectiveTo study the effect and clinical meaning and pathogenic of extinction on cerebral cortex lesion. MethodsTactile extinction to classical extinction test(simple stimuli)and modified Quality extinction test(QET)were used. ResultsThe positive rate of ex-tinction using modified QET was higher than that of simple stimuli; left cortex lesion could result in extinction both in the contralateral side andthe ipsilateral side;left frontal sites lesion caused ipsilateral extinction. Conclusion: The modified QET was more sensitive than simplestimuli; modified QET showed extinction has competiting and restricting effect at 2 different levels, the mechanism of extinction is correlatedto competition and adventage restraint of diplo-hand cerebral hemisphere and liaise correliation fiber of diplo-hand cerebral hemisphere; thehighesttthe positive rate of extinction was observed in left parietal lesions.

Methods To study the anti-arrhythmia of the flavonoid by determination of the ECG of rabbits. To study the acute toxicity effect of the flavonoid by Karber's method. Results The results showed that the flavonoid could remedy to tachycardia caused by Adriamycin and it could remedy to bradycardia caused by Verapamil. Acute toxicity showed that LD 50 of flavonoid is 311.7 mg/kg, 95% CI is 289.9—339.5 mg/kg. Conclusion The flavonoid can rectify tachycardia due to various reasons with very little toxicity.

Objective To investigate the correlation between plasma homoeysteine (HCY) level and coronary-heart disease (CHD). Methods 117 patients with coronary heart disease (CHD group) and 50 healthy controls (control group) were involved in the investigation. Plasma total HCY level was measured with enzymatic cycling assay. According to the clinical types, CHD cases were divide dinto stable angina pectoris (SAP) group (n = 35), unstable angina pectoris (UAP) group (n = 39) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) group (n=43). Based on coronary angiography, the CHD cases were further divided into single-vessel (n = 31 ), double-vessel (n = 40) and triple-vessel (n = 46) groups. Results 1 ) Plasma HCY level was significantly higher in CHD group than that in control group (P<0. 01). 2) Plasma HCY level was associated with clinical types, higherst in AMI group, followed by that of UAP group, SAP group, healthy control group. There was statistical difference of HCY level between SAP group and UAP group, SAP group and AMI group, UAP group and AMI group (P<0. 01). 3) Plasma HCY level was gradually elevated in single-vessel, double-vessel and tri- ple-vessel group. There was statistical difference of HCY level between single-vessel group or double- vessel group and triple-vessel group (P<0.01). There was significant difference between single-vessel group and double-vessel group (P>0.05). Conclusion Plasma HCY level is elevated in patients with CHD, and elevated HCY is associated with increased number of stenotic coronary arteries. As a risk factor for CHD, HCY is closely associated with the occurrence and development of CHD.

Objective To understand the cooperation experiences of doctors and nurses from the Infectious Department,that may be contributive to promote a harmonious relationship between doctors and nurses.Methods Sixteen nurses and nine doctors came from Infectious Department were interviewed.The data were collected through face-to-face in-depth semi-structured interviews.Thematic analysis based on Qualitative Research method,qualitative content analysis was used for data interpretation by analysis and management.Results Three themes were identified and described as the cooperation experiences between doctors and nurse,the cooperation troubles,suggestions about promoting a harmonious relationship between doctors and nurses.Conclusion Harmonious relationship is particularly important in the clinical work,but in fact,there are many factors affect the harmonious relationships,so it is recom-mended that hospital leaders should take measures to build a harmonious relationship between doctors and nurses.

Objective To observe the expression of aggrecanase 2 and a tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 3 (TIMP-3) in degenerate human lumbar intervertebral discs and their role in degeneration of the nucleus pulposus.Methods Pfirrmann classification was used to class degenerate intervertebral discs observed through MRI.They were divided into three groups:a control group (Pfirrmann grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ),a degeneration group (Pfirrmann grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ),and a severe degeneration group (Pfirrmann grade Ⅴ).A total of 45 cases accepted lumbar spine surgery for removing nucleus pulposus specimens.Each group contained 15 cases.After formalin-fixation and paraffin embedding,immunohistochemistry was used to detect aggrecanase 2 and TIMP-3 expression in the nucleus pulposus cells.Results The percentages of cells positive for aggrecanase 2 were (13.58 ± 7.76) ％,(33.48 ± 13.95) ％ and (56.00 ± 18.39) ％ in the control,degeneration and severe degeneration groups respectively.These differences had statistical significance.The percentages of cells positive for TIMP-3 were (34.78 ± 13.80) ％,(46.77 ± 10.98) ％ and (50.65 ± 16.45) ％,and these differences were again statistically significant.The aggrecanase 2/TIMP-3 ratios were also significantly different.Conclusion As the degree of degeneration of the nucleus pulposus increased,the expression of aggrecanase 2 and TIMP-3 rose,which indicates that both changes were closely connected with the degeneration.Their ratio was correlated with the degree of degeneration of the nucleus pulposus.

A total of 89 elderly patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction were randomly divided into 2 groups:patients in control group received conventional medication,those in exercise group receive conventional medication plus aerobic exercise training,which was lasted for 6 weeks.The changes in VO2max,maximum heart rate (HRmax),VO2max/HRmax,exercise time,6-minute walk and quality of life (QOL) were evaluated after 16 weeks.The VO2max,HRmax,VO2max/HRmax,exercise time,6-minute walk and QOL had increased significantly in exercise group,compared with the control group.The results indicate that aerobic exercise can improve cardiopulmonary function of elderly patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction.

100 inpatients with heart failure were divided into two groups: 50 with preserved LVEF and 50 with reduced LVEF. Another 50 age-matched healthy subjects served as the control group. The severity and etiology of heart failure, tissue Doppler imaging indexes (Sm;Ea;Aa;E/Ea) and plasma BNP concentrations were compared among the three groups. There was no difference in terms of NYHA classification between groups of preserved LVEF and reduced LVEF. Hypertension and DM are more common in the group of preserved LVEF. The index of Sm decreased most significantly in the group of reduced LVEF, and was negatively correlated with the BNP concentration (r = -0. 35, P ＜ 0. 05 ). The ratio of E/Ea increased gradually among the three groups, and was positively correlated with the BNP concentration ( r = 0. 728, P ＜ 0. 05 ). The LV filling index E/Ea and the BNP concentration may be helpful in the diagnosis of heart failure patients with preserved LVEF.

A design scheme of a tele-screening system for diabetic retinopathy (DR) has been proposed, especially the communication subsystem. The scheme uses serial communication module consisting of ARM 7 microcontroller and relays to connect remote computer and fundus camera, and also uses C++ programming language based on MFC to design the communication software consisting of therapy and diagnostic information module, video/audio surveillance module and fundus camera control module. The scheme possesses universal property in some remote medical treatment systems which are similar to the system.
