A novel method based on cross sensitivity of cataluminescence (CTL) generated on the surface of a nanometer composite oxide was proposed for simultaneous determination of benzene and trimethylamine (TMA) in air. A variety of nanometer composite oxides based on Y2 O3 that showed catalytic activity to many gas molecules were synthesized. For the fabrication of the detector, nanometer composite oxide was directly coated on the ceramic rod to form a 0. 1-0. 15 mm thick layer. The ceramic rod with nanometer composite oxide was inserted into a quartz tube with an inner diameter of 10 mm. The temperature of nanometer composite oxide was controlled by the digital heater. When gas samples passed through the nanometer composite oxide in the quartz tube by the air flow, the CTL was generated during the catalytic oxidation on the surface of the nanometer composite oxide. The CTL signals were respectively recorded by two ultra weak chemiluminescence analyzers. The CTL intensity and selectivity for the determination of benzene and TMA on nano- Zr3 Y2 O9 which was characterized by TEM were bigger and better than those on other nanosized composite oxides. The optimum experimental conditions were tested. Selective determination was achieved at a wavelength of 440 nm for benzene and 540 nm for TMA. The surface temperature of the nanometer materials was about 313 ℃. The flow rate of air carrier was about 140 mL/ min. The limit of detection of this method was 0. 30 mg / m3 for benzene at 440 nm and 0. 70 mg / m3 for TMA at 540 nm. The linear range of CTL intensity versus concentration of benzene at 440 nm was 0. 8-105. 0 mg / m3 , benzene at 540 nm was 3. 0-130. 0 mg / m3 , TMA at 440 nm was 2. 5-232. 0 mg / m3 and TMA at 540 nm was 1. 2-156. 0 mg / m3 . The recovery of 5 testing standard samples by this method was 96. 8% -102. 3% for benzene and 97. 6% -103. 4%for TMA. Common coexistence matters, such as formaldehyde, ethanol, acetone, ammonia, sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide, did not disturb the determination. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of CTL signals of a continuous 200 h detection of gas mixture of 50 mg / m3 benzene and 50 mg / m3 TMA was 2. 0% , which demonstrated the longevity and steady performance of nano-Zr3 Y2 O9 to benzene and TMA under this experimental conditions.

Objective To explore the diagnosis and treatment of Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE),deepen the understanding of KHE and Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP),and discuss the optimal treatment for KHE.Methods From January 2008 to August 2016,13 cases of KHE were confirmed by surgery or biopsy pathology and admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University,and the clinical diagnosis and treatment were analyzed retrospectively.Results There were 13 patients(7 males and 6 females) with a median age of 1.0 years(0.2-10.0 years),and 84.6%(11/13 cases) were infants and young children,76.9% (10/13 cases) involved with deep tissue,23.1% (3/13 cases) were associated with KMP and they were younger than 1 year old,and 15.4% (2/13 cases) coexisted with hemangioma or lymphangioma.The location,extent and infiltration depth of the lesion were observed by imaging examinations and histopathology showed nodule shaped spindle tumor cells.Radical resection was considered if possible.Dose of Vincristine (0.5 mg/m2 weekly) and Propranolol [1 mg/(kg·d)] were administered.The prognosis was different in thirteen cases undergoing different treatments.After 3 months to 9 years follow-up,41.7% (5/12 cases) survived after tumor treatment.Conclusions KHE happens mostly in infants and young children,with varying clinical manifestations and a high recurrence rate.The diagnosis of KHE is based on histological examination,computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging while it still need explicit pathological diagnosis is needed.KHE may be accompanied by hemangioma or lymphangioma.Prognosis is affected by many factors and the comprehensive treatment is required.KMP should be remedied preferentially,individual treatment protocol and long term follow-up are necessary.

According to the requirement of the national assessment for achieving the infection control criteria, 42 villages (among them,25 villages belonged to the first stratum, and 17 villages belonged to the second stratum) in 14 counties from 5 provinces, including Hunnan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui and Yunnan, were selected as sampling villages for the assessment.The results from the field assessment showed that 154 out of 9 067 people were found infected with Sckistosoma japonicum, with an average infection rate of 1.7% ranged from 0.31 % to 4.10% , and only Yongping Village from Weishan County and Tenglong Village from Eryuan County were not found any case. A total of 46 out of 3 323 head of cattle were infected with S. japonicum, with an average infection rate of 1.38% ranged from 0.26% to 3.79% , and no any infected individual detected in Nanling County. No outbreak occurred in those sampling villages. Therefore, it is indicated that the five sampling provinces have reached the national criteria on infection control of schistosomiasis.
