Nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis-chemiluminescence (NACE) method was developed for the determination of five phenolic environmental estrogens including bisphenol A (BPA),4-nonylphenol(4-NP) ,4-tert-octylphenol(4-tOP),4-tert-butylphenol(4-tBP) and tetrabromobisphenol A(TBBPA) in food packaging material. Target compounds in soaking solution of food packaging material samples were separated by NACE-CL after derivatization with 4-(4,5-diphenyl-lH-imidazol-2-yl) benzoyl chloride ( DIB-Cl) ,reacted with per-oxyoxalate chemiluminescence system,and then detected through magnifying light signal with photomultiplier. With 17β-E_2 as internal standard,qualitative and quantitative analysis of the target compounds were performed by relative migration time and the ratio of relative chemiluminescence intensity,respectively. Several influence factors on separation with NACE,such as the composition and proportion of organic solvent,the concentration of electrolyte,temperature surrounding of the capillary,the concentration of acetic acid and work voltage,were investigated. And the peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence system was optimized. Under these conditions,4-tBP,BPA,4-OP,4-NP and TBBPA were all separated and showed good linearities in the ranges of 0.0095-3.0 mg/L,0.0087-3.0 mg/L,0.0085 -3.0 mg/L,0.011 -3.0 mg/L,0.009-3.0 mg/L,respectively,with correlation coefficients over 0. 9947. The RSDs of relative migration time and relative chemiluminescence intensity ratio were 0.9% -3.0% and 6.5% - 8.6%. Recoveries for the spiked samples ranged from 86.7% to 98. 8%. Five common food packaging material samples were analyzed. The proposed method is simple and sensitive for the quantitative determination of phenolic environmental estrogens in food packaging material samples.

Objective To investigate prevalence of resistance genes for β-lactams in clinically isolated multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDRAB)in a hospital.Methods 22 clinically isolated MDRAB strains were performed antimicrobial susceptibility testing,resistance genes forβ-lactams (TEM,SHV,CTX-M,PER,DHA, IMP ,VIM ,SIM,OXA-23,OXA-24,and OXA-58)in these strains were detected with polymerase chain reaction. Results The resistant rates of 22 isolates of MDRAB to ceftazidime,cefotaxime,cefepime,gentamycin,amikacin, ciprofloxacin,and compound sulfamethoxazole were all 100.00%;to imipenem,meropenem,and cefoperazone/sul-bactam were 50.00%,40.91 %,and 31 .82% respectively,intermediated rates were 31 .82%,36.36%,and 31 .82% respectively.The carriage rates of OXA-23,TEM,IMP ,and PER were 100.00% (n =22),72.73 %(n=16),54.55% (n = 12),and 18.18% (n =4)respectively.Detection results of SHV,CTX-M,DHA,VIM , SIM,OXA-24,and OXA-58 were all negative.Conclusion Carriage of IMP ,TEM,PER,and OXA-23 resistance genes are the major resistance mechanisms of MDRAB to β-lactamase antimicrobial agents in this hospital.

Objective To design T-shaped shoes with a chuck regulator to facilitate the orthopedics patient in lower limb immobilization,nursing and rehabilitation training.Methods Each of the shoes was composed of the body of low temperature thermoplasticized plate,a regulator,two cross bars controlled by the regulator and a circular silica gel liner at the heel.The stability of triangles kept the limb involved at the middle position,and prevented the lower limb from inward turning,outward turning or dropping.The shape of the triangles was modified by adjusting the regulator to form an individualized fixation posture for each patient.Results The shoes facilitated clinical nursing,enhanced the patient comfort and decreased the complications.Conclusion The shoes gains advantages in wearing,low cost and repeated use,and thus is worthy promoting practically.

Objective To assess the effectiveness and safety of hyperthermia combined with chemotherapy(HCT)compared with chemotherapy (CT)for ovarian cancer. Methods Related literatures were searched by two independent investigators from the following electronic databases:PubMed,Cochrane Library,EMbase,VIP,WanFang Data,CNKI and CBM.Then the meta?analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. Results A total of 10 RCTs involving 546 patients were included. The results of Meta?analysis showed that the HCT group was superior to the CT group in the effective rate,tumor control rate,effective rate of CA125,ascites control rate and PD,with significant differences(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the improvement rate of life quality and the incidences of myelosuppression,severe myelosuppression,severe nausea and vomiting,severe constipation and diarrhea,liver and renal damage(P>0.05). Conclusion Compared with CT,HCT can significantly increase short?term curative effect,ameliorate the quality of life,and it does not increase the incidence of adverse reactions. HCT is worthy of clinical applica?tion.

Background:Upon inhibition of STAT3 signaling pathway,cucurbitacin-I elicits anticancer effect in various malignancies. However,the anticancer effect and underlying mechanism of cucurbitacin-I in gastric cancer is still elusive. Aims:To explore the effect of low nanomolar cucurbitacin-I on cell proliferation,cell cycle and apoptosis in human gastric cancer cells and the underlying mechanism in vitro. Methods:Human gastric adenocarcinoma cell lines AGS and HGC-27 were treated with cucurbitacin-I at low nanomolar concentration. The anti-proliferative effect of cucurbitacin-I was detected by CCK-8 assay and colony formation assay. Flow cytometry was used to assess the cell cycle and apoptosis. Expressions of cell cycle-related proteins,as well as activation of related pathways such as caspase-3 / PARP apoptotic pathway,STAT3, GADD45α and JNK/ p38 MAPK signaling pathways were determined by Western blotting. Results:Cucurbitacin-I markedly inhibited the growth of gastric cancer cells at low nanomolar concentration by inducing G2 / M phase arrest and apoptosis via a STAT3-independent manner. Furthermore,it was revealed that the anticancer effect of cucurbitacin-I was associated with up-regulation of GADD45α,activation of JNK/ p38 MAPK signaling pathway and the subsequent apoptotic events. Conclusions:The present study provides new insights into the mechanism of anticancer effect of cucurbitacin-I, supporting cucurbitacin-I as an attractive therapeutic drug in gastric cancer.

Objepctive To explore the protective effect of modified recombinant human aFGF ( Mrh-aFGF) on the neurons in ventral tegmental area of rats with Parkinson’ s disease ( PD) . Methods The 54 SD rats were ramdomly divided into the control group,the model group and the treatment group,and there were 18 rats in each group. PD rats of the model group and the treatment group were induced by in-jecting 6-OHDA into the left substantia nigra compacta ( SNC) and ventral tegmental area ( VTA) to build the PD model. Rats in the treat-ment group were given Mrh-aFGF injection after lateral ventricle injection,and the behavioral changes of the rats were detected after apomor-phine injection. The morphologic features and pathological changes of neurons in the ventral tegmental area were observed by Nissl’ s staining and electronic microscope. Results Compared to the right VTA of PD rats,the number of neurons in left side ( the injured side) decreased significantly in the model group(P<0. 05). In the treatment group,the structure of left (the injured side) VTA was markedly improved and the number of neurons was increased one week,two weeks and four weeks after operation compared with the model group (P<0. 05). The neurons in the VTA of the model group were found to have karyopyknosis,endoplasmic reticulum,degranulation,mitochondria swelling,cristae disappear,pre-synaptic and post-synaptic membranes swelling,and synaptic cleft disappear. In the treatment group,the ultrastructure of the neurons in the VTA,such as nuclei,mitochondria,synaptic structure,kept well compared to the model group. Conclusion Mrh-aFGF could protect the neurons in the ventral tegmental area from the loss and improve the ultrastructure of the neurons of PD rats.

Objective To investigate esophageal response to intraesophageal balloon-distention and acid perfusion stimuli and to evaluate the visceral hypersensitivity in non erosive reflux disease (NERD) patients.Methods Thirty-one NERD patients diagnosed by reflux disease questionnaire (RDQ) and endoscopy and 10 control subjects were enrolled in this study.Esophageal mechanical sensitivity was measured by esophageal barostat and recorded as initial perception threshold and maximal tolerated pain threshold by volume.The chemical sensitivity was measured by acid perfusion test,and quantified by two parameters (trigger time and acid related symptom score).Results Initial perception threshold and maximally tolerated pain threshold of NERD patients was (9.6?4.8) ml and (12.3?3.2) ml, significantly lower than those of controls,(13.2?7.5) ml and (21.6?5.7) ml,respectively (P
