Journal of Environment and Health 2007;0(09):-
Objective To establish a new kinetic fluorimetry method for the determination of trace catechol in waste water. Methods Trace catechol inhibited the catalytic oxidation of pyronine Y by potassium periodate in the presence of vanadium(the catalyst) in H2SO4 medium. A linear relation appeared between the concentration of catachol and the changing of catalyzed reaction speed. A new inhibitory kinetic fluorimetry method for the determination of trace catechol in waste water was established. Results The linear range of determination was 10.0-1 500.0 ?g/L,and the detection limit was 7.8 ?g/L. The RSDs and recovery rates of the method were 2.42%-2.71%,and 98.3%-103.3% respectively. Conclusion This method is simple and sensitive for the determination of trace catechol in waste water with satisfactory results.

Objective To observe conditioned enhancement of antibody production against influenza vaccine. Methods 36 female BALB/c mice were injected with 3 μg/mouse influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) as the unconditioned stimulus (UCS),and camphor odor was served as the conditioned stimulus (CS). After a CS/UCS pairing was made,animals were re-exposed to the CS at Weeks 6. Results Through one conditioned stimulus,the optical density of anti-HA antibody of the conditioned group (Weeks 9:0.68±0.06; Weeks 10:0.60±0.06)was significantly increased compared with the unconditioned group (Weeks 9:0.53±0.06; Weeks 10:0.48±0.04) ( P <0.01). The level of anti-HA antibody of the conditioned group was also significantly greater than other controlled groups( P <0.05). Conclusion Through a single exposure to camphor odor which was paired with immunization of influenza virus HA in a single trial learning protocol,a significant conditioned anti-HA IgG production occurred.

Objective To analyze the current clinic application of severe acne treatment, and to provide evidences to improve its treatment. Methods Using sampling survey, a total of 3 012 severe acne patients who visited the dermato-logical department of 35 hospitals over the country for the first time were selected for this study. Each patient filled a ques-tionnaire about their acknowledgement, history of medical intervention and drug therapy of severe acne. Results Among all 3 012 patients with severe acne, 76.6%believed acne is a kind of skin disease, but only 35.2%of the patients went to see doctors at early stage of disease, while others choose interventions such as self-extrudation , topical medication or skin care products, herbal tea/folk recipes, beauty salons and application of coverture cosmetics. Among all severe acne patients, 2 388 cases (79.3%)had taken oral medications, which included 1 161(48.6%) patients who took anti-biotics. 394 cases (33.9%) took roxithromycine and 173 cases(14.9%) took other kinds of anti-biotics. 55.5%of all these patients who took oral medication less than 4 weeks in duration. 2 081 cases (69.1%) applied external drugs, in which includes 90 cases (4.3%) of using glucocorticoid, and 437 cases (21.0%) of using other kinds of external products. The adverse effects of topical treat-ments were commonly observed, such as erythema (512 cases, 24.6%), desquamation (683 cases, 32.8%), scab (73 cases, 3.5%) and hypersensitive (281 cases, 13.5%). Conclusion Severe acne is a disease need systematic treatment. but only mi-nority of the patients went to see doctors at early stage of disease. The current problems in treatment of severe acne include lack of target in choosing drugs, not long enough treatment course, and adverse effects of cutaneous administration.Early , safe and targeted medical attention with sufficient treatment course is encouraged.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) on minimally invasive surgical closure of heart septal defects. Methods Thirty-four patients with atrial septal defect (ASD) and 38 patients with ventricular septal defect(VSD) were selected by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) prepared for minimally invasive surgical closure. TEE was performed to choose appropriate occluder and guide occluder release during the procedure. The immediate closure effect also evaluated by using TEE. A week follow-up was done by using TTE. Results Successful occlusion was in 32 patients with ASD and 29 patients with VSD. On 1 week follow-up,neither displacement for the occluders nor residual shunt except minimal residual shunt in 3 patients. The ventrieular remodeling was improved, the valvular regurgitation and pulmonary arterial pressure decreased. Conclusions TEE is important in minimally invasive surgical closure of atrial, ventricular septal defects, especially in choosing the candidate for the procedure and occluder, guiding occluder released and evaluating the procedure.

BACKGROUND:During the process of acute brain injury after stroke, matrix metaloproteinase can undermine the integrity of vascular basement membrane, promote the migration of neutrophils and inflammatory factors, and cause secondary brain injury. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the activation of matrix metaloproteinase 2/9 and the degradation rule of claudin in rat models of middle cerebral artery ischemia at different ischemic durations. METHODS:Thirty-nine male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups according to different ischemic durations (3, 5 and 7 hours) . Middle cerebral artery occlusion (stroke) model was established using modified suture method,i.e., separation of the external carotid artery, inserting the suture into the internal carotid artery through the external carotid artery, and eventualy reaching the middle cerebral artery. The ischemic duration in these three groups was respectively 3 , 5 and 7 hours. After 2 hours of reperfusion, Zea-Longa score and Ludmila Belayev score, brain infarct area, matrix metaloproteinase 2/9 activities and claudin 5 degradation were determined in each group. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:With the extension of ischemic duration, brain infarct area gradualy increased, central nervous system damage gradualy aggravated, matrix metaloproteinase 2/9 activities gradualy increased, and claudin-5 expression gradualy decreased. There were significant differences between any two ischemic durations in terms of each of above-mentioned indices. The results indicate that after long duration of ischemia, the progressive damage of brain tissue can cause the gradual increase of activation of matrix metaloproteinase 2/9 and the gradual degradation of claudin 5.

Objective To identified differentially expressed proteins associated with platinum resistance in platinum resistance epithelial oarian cancer (EOC) patients in serum and investigate their clinical value. Methods A total of 106 patients withoverian tumor in affiliated tumor hospital of Guangxi Medical University from August 1998 to September 2013 were enrolled in this study, which include 52 cases od platinum-sensitive (PTS), 44 cases of platinum-resistant (PTR) and 10 cases of benign ovarian cyst (BOC). Thirty-three cases of normal women proceeded physical examination in our hospital in 2008 were chosen as control group (NC). Four groups of patients serum samples of 4 groups were collected and preserved.(1) Differentially express level of serum proteins of 10 cases of every group (PTS&PTR vs NC, PTS&PTR vs BOC, PTS vs PTR) were identified with isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitative (iTRAQ) based quantitative proteomic approach and then was subjected to bioinformatics analysis.(2)Proteins that played a important role in multidrug resistance were validated by western blot (WB) and ELISA in 44 PTR patients, 52 PRS patients and 33 NC women.(3)Pearson correlation analysis was used to explain the relationship between proteins and clinical pathological parameters of PTR individuals. Kaplan-Meier method was supposed to explore serum biomarkers associated with clinical prognosis data. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to determine the diagnostic value of the markers. Results (1) Based on the result of bioinformatics analysis, 56 proteins, 39 proteins and 62 proteins were identified respectively among PTS & PTR vs NC, PTS & PTR vs BOC, PTS vs PTR. It showed that C6 and CNTN1 have a positive seletion effect among Asians and BCHE among Europeans through searching Haplotter database. CRP, FN1, S100A9, TF, ALB, VWF, APOC2, APOE, CD44, F2, GPX3 and ACTB proein were further verified related with platinum resistance by taking intersection analysis in the COREMINE database and TCGA.(2)The expression level of SERPINA1 protein in serum of PTR group, PTS group and NC groupwere 41.7±9.2, 32.8±6.6 and 14.2±3.6 respectively using WB assay, and(816±246),(686±205)and (756 ± 244)μg/μl respectively using ELISA; the expression level of ORM1 protein in PTR, PTS and NC serum were 37.9±7.0, 27.0±22.5 and 21.7±2.6 respectively using WB assay, and(221±35),(174±23)and (157±18)μg/μl respectively using ELISA;the expression level of FN1 protein in PTR, PTS and NC serum were 30.3 ± 11.4, 18.2 ± 5.2, 23.7 ± 3.9 respectively by WB assay, and(71 ± 13),(62 ± 13),(69 ± 13)ng/μl respectively by ELISA;the expression level of GPX3 protein in PTR, PTS and NC serum were 1.2±0.3, 2.2± 0.3, 1.6±0.3 respectively WB assay. The expression of each protein by using western blot method and ELISA method had the same trend as that using iTRAQ technology.(3)Pearson correlation analysis showed, the expression of SERPINA1, FN1 and ORM1 had a positive correlation with recurrence and death of PTR patients (P<0.01, P<0.05), but was negatively correlated with progress free survival of PTR patients (P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that clinical stage, initial treatment outcomes, the express level of SERPINA1, FN1 and ORM1 were significantly related with progression-free survival (P<0.05), the initial treatment outcomes was related with overall survival (P=0.027). The overall predictive accuracy of each protein was reflected by the area under the ROC curve (AUC), FN1 ORM1 and SERPINA with ROC areas of 0.679, 0.910 and 0.666 respectively. The diagnosis value of ORM1 protein in ovarian cancer patients with platinum resistance performance is significantly higher than that of FN1 and SERPINA1 protein (P=0.000) Conclusions The differentially express level of FN1, SERPINA1 and ORM1 between PTS and PTR play a essential role in measuring subtle changes in response to platinum-based chemotherapy and may be involved in biological processes of platinum resistance. ORM1 has higher diagnostic efficiency of platinum resistance in ovarian cancer patients. It may be a promising candidate biomarker for screening and diagnosis of ovarian cancer patients with platinum resistance.

Objective To explore the behavioral and emotional status of the migrated children one year after they were victimized from earthquake in Wenchuan. Methods 513 victimized children migrated out of disaster area were investigated, with Achenback Child Behavior Checklist ( CBCL), the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED)and Depression Self-rating Scale for Children (DSRSC). The controls were local children ( n = 475 ) coming from the same schools. Results 487 answered files were validated. There were significant differences between the victimized and migrated children and the local children in many scores of CBCL, such as total sores( (26.73 ±6.28)Vs (20.26 ±5.76), t= 16.64, P<0. 01 ) and withdrawal( (3.23 ±1. 68 ) Vs ( 2.02 ± 1.43 ), t = 12.91, P < 0.01 ), somatization complaining( ( 2.79 ± 1. 34 ) Vs ( 1.67 ± 1.22 ), t =13.55, P < 0. 01 ) and anxiety-depression scores ( ( 3.38 ± 1.79 ) Vs ( 1.95 ± 1. 21 ), t = 14.48, P < 0.01 ), as well as its factors such as social problem, attentional problem, attack behavior, internalizing behavior, social communication and school scores. On the SCARED and DSRSC, the two groups were significantly different in total scores of anxiety and depression as well as in such factors as somatization, generalized anxiety, separated anxiety. Conclusion Though migrated out of the earthquake area, the victimised children still suffer obviously from behavioral problems, and anxious and depressive emotion one year after the earthquake.
