An online enrichment-separation system of C18 and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP/MS) with flow injection (C18-FI-ICP/MS) was established for the determination of trace heavy metals in seawater. The optimized experimental parameters including pH,C18 column,concentration of methol in elute and the velocity of elute were investigated. This system was applied to the online preconcentration , separation and determination of trace heave metals in seawater samples successfully. The detection limit (3σ) for Cd, Pb, Co, Ni and Zn was 0.03, 0.09, 0.1, 0.1, 0.3 μg/L respectively. The RSD of Cd, Pb, Co, Ni, and Zn for six measurements of seawater was 6.8%,3.4%,1.3%,2.6%,0.5%,respectively. The accuracy was verified with spiked recovery test. The recovery for five elements was 91.3%,95.1%,100.4%,100.3%,95.2%, respectively.

Objective To observe the effects of mitochondrial protectant on hippocampal mito-chondrial function and synaptic plasticity in isoflurane-anesthesia aged mice.Methods Forty-eight fif-teen-month-old male C57BL/6 mice were equally divided into 4 groups (n=12):oxygen+normal sa-line (group CN),oxygen+SS-31 (group CS),isoflurane+normal saline (group IN),and isoflurane+SS-31 (group IS).SS-31(5 mg/kg)or normal saline was intraperitoneally administered with a vol-ume of 0.4 ml/kg 30 min before gas inhalation.After two hours gas inhalation,the hippocampus was removed to determine complex Ⅰ-Ⅳ activities,adenosine triphosphate (ATP)and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP)levels from isolated mitochondria,and measure the content of synapsin-1,PSD-95,NMDAR2A,NMDAR2B,CaMKⅡα and CaMKⅡβ.Results Compared with the group IN,complex Ⅰ activity,ATP and MMP levels were increased,synapsin-1 and PSD-95 were up-regu-lated,whereas NMDAR2B,CaMK Ⅱα and CaMK Ⅱβ were down-regulated in the group IS (P <0.05).No significant difference was observed in the complex Ⅱ-Ⅳ activities and NMDAR2A expres-sion.Conclusion Mitochondrial protectant SS-31 attenuates isoflurane-induced mitochondrial dysfunc-tion and neuron synaptic plasticity impairments in aged mice.

AIM: To study the mechanism of diabetic cardiomyopathy and abnormality of oxygen free radicals. METHODS: The contents of myocardial cytosolic cytochrome C, mitochondria cytochrome C, mitochondrial calcium, NO, MDA and the activity of SOD and NOS were determined in diabetic rats induced by STZ. The pathological changes were observed under transmission electron microscope. RESULTS: Compared to the normal and ganoderma group, the levels of mitochondrial NO, iNOS, MDA, calcium and plasma Cyt-C in rat myocardium were higher (P<0.05), while mitochondrial Cyt-C and SOD were lowered in model group (P<0.05). The bouncary indistinct, disorganization, a focal loss of muscular fibril, myocardium mitochondria swelling, pulmonary vascular endothelial cellular swelling and obstructed lumen of the capillary were also observed under transmission electronic microscope. CONCLUSION: The findings indicate that oxyradical and lipid peroxidation might be associated with the damage of myocardial mitochondria in NIDDM rats. Cyt-C and mitochondrial calcium is also involved in the process.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of maternal peripheral blood fetal DNA, creatine kinase (CK), and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in pregnant women with placenta previa complicated with adhesion or implantation.Methods:From April 2018 to April 2019, 72 patients with placenta previa confirmed by cesarean section in Chengde Central Hospital were retrospectively collected. Among them, 23 patients complicated with placental adhesion were enrolled in the placenta adhesion group, 19 patients complicated with placenta implantation were in the placenta implantation group, and 30 patients with simple placenta previa were in the simple placenta previa group. The amount of fetal DNA, CK and AFP in maternal peripheral blood were measured at 20 to 27 weeks of gestation. The general data of the three groups, the amount of fetal DNA in maternal peripheral blood, CK and AFP were compared. The value of the amount of fetal DNA, CK, and AFP in maternal peripheral blood for predivting placenta previa were analyzed. At the same time, the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes was counted, and patients were divided into adverse pregnancy outcomes group and good pregnancy outcomes group according to pregnancy outcomes. The fetal DNA amount, CK and AFP levels in the maternal peripheral blood of the two were compared, and the factors affecting the adverse pregnancy outcome of placenta previa were analyzed.Results:The levels of fetal DNA, CK and AFP in the maternal peripheral blood of the placenta implantation group were significantly higher than those of the placenta adhesion group and the simple placenta previa group: (1 018.96 ± 442.15) copies/ml vs. (659.27 ± 320.26) copies/ml and (390.64 ± 102.53) copies/ml , (103.54 ± 26.39) U/L vs. (88.30 ± 20.65) U/L and (62.78 ± 15.84) U/L, (319.65 ± 62.14) μg/L vs. (284.62 ± 55.96) and (232.64 ± 48.62) μg/L, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01). The amount of fetal DNA in maternal peripheral blood was positively correlated with CK and AFP ( r = 0.899 and 0.769, P<0.01), and CK was positively correlated with AFP ( r = 0.782, P<0.01). The AUC of maternal peripheral blood fetal DNA in predicting placenta previa complicated with placenta adhesion was 0.842, and the sensitivity and specificity were 78.26% and 83.33% respectively. The levels of fetal DNA, CK and AFP in maternal peripheral blood of patients with adverse pregnancy outcomes were higher than those of patients with good pregnancy outcomes: (928.64 ± 257.73) copies/ml vs. (460.02 ± 188.95) copies/ml, (105.83 ± 26.88) U/L vs. (66.33 ± 20.39) U/L and (292.52 ± 58.39) μg/L vs. (259.29 ± 42.65) μg/L, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Placenta adhesion, placenta implantation, postpartum hemorrhage, maternal peripheral blood fetal DNA, CK and AFP levels were influential factors for the adverse pregnancy outcome of placenta previa ( OR = 3.544, 4.183, 3.413, 3.222, 3.109 and 3.313, 95% CI 1.905 to 6.593, 2.401 to 7.286, 1.832 to 6.359, 1.729 to 6.005, 1.659 to 5.827 and 1.831 to 5.994, P<0.01). Conclusions:The amount of fetal DNA, CK and AFP in maternal peripheral blood have a certain predictive value in placenta previa complicated with placental adhesion or implantation, and are closely related to the pregnancy outcome of patients with placenta previa. Early detection of the above indicators will help clinically to formulate reasonable intervention measures and promote the improvement of pregnancy outcomes.
