The long-term presence of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the environmental water samples not only affects the life safety of aquatic organisms and disturbs the ecoenvironment, but also poses a serious threat to human health. In this study, amino-functionalized Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4-NH2) were firstly prepared by solvothermal method. Subsequently, polyethyleneimine (PEI) with a branched chain structure was successfully grafted onto Fe3O4 nanoparticles by Schiff base reaction in aqueous solution at room temperature using glutaraldehyde as a cross-linking agent, and a recyclable PEI-grafted magnetic nano-sorbent (Fe3O4@PEI) was synthesized and applied for the detection of NSAIDs in the environmental water samples. The compositional properties of Fe3O4@PEI were investigated by different characterization methods and the parameters affecting the extraction of NSAIDs were optimized. Due to high adsorption of Fe3O4@PEI for NSAIDs, the quantitative analysis of four NSAIDs in the environmental water samples, ketoprofen, naproxen, diclofenac and tolfenamic acid, was performed in combination with high-performance liquid chromatography. A good linear relationship between the chromatographic peak area and concentration was observed in the range of 1−500 µg/mL. The recoveries of the samples at three different spiked levels ranged from 85.6% to 107.8%; the intra-day precision was less than 7.8% (n=6); and the inter-day precision was less than 9.5% (n=3). The method is simple, rapid, accurate and reliable, and can be used for the analysis of NSAIDs in the environmental water samples．

Objective    To systematically evaluate the risk factors for postoperative pulmonary infection in patients with esophageal cancer. Methods    CNKI, Wangfang Data, VIP, CBM, PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library were searched from inception to January 2021 to collect case-control studies, cohort studies and cross-sectional studies about risk factors for postoperative pulmonary infection in patients with esophageal cancer. Two researchers independently conducted literature screening, data extraction and quality assessment. RevMan 5.3 software and Stata 15.0 software were used for meta-analysis. Results    A total of 20 articles were included, covering 5 409 patients of esophageal cancer. The quality score of included studies was 6-8 points. Meta-analysis results showed that age (MD=1.99, 95%CI 0.10 to 3.88, P=0.04), age≥60 years (OR=2.68, 95%CI 1.46 to 4.91, P=0.001), smoking history (OR=2.41, 95%CI 1.77 to 3.28, P<0.001), diabetes (OR=2.30, 95%CI 1.90 to 2.77, P<0.001), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR=3.69, 95%CI 2.09 to 6.52, P<0.001), pulmonary disease (OR=2.22, 95%CI 1.16 to 4.26, P=0.02), thoracotomy (OR=1.77, 95%CI 1.32 to 2.37, P<0.001), operation time (MD=14.08, 95%CI 9.64 to 18.52, P<0.001), operation time>4 h (OR=3.09, 95%CI 1.46 to 6.55, P=0.003), single lung ventilation (OR=3.46, 95%CI 1.61 to 7.44, P=0.001), recurrent laryngeal nerve injury (OR=5.66, 95%CI 1.63 to 19.71, P=0.006), and no use of patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) (OR=2.81, 95%CI 1.71 to 4.61, P<0.001) were risk factors for postoperative pulmonary infection in patients with esophageal cancer. Conclusion    The existing evidence shows that age, age≥60 years, smoking history, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary disease, thoracotomy, operation time, operation time>4 h, single lung ventilation, recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, and no use of PCEA are risk factors for postoperative pulmonary infection in patients with esophageal cancer. Due to the limitation of the quantity and quality of included literature, the conclusion of this study still needs to be confirmed by more high-quality studies.

Objective To study the wear condition of rotating hinge knee prosthesis (RHKP) during horizontal walking gait, and provide technical references for wear prediction and clinical application of this kind of prosthesis. Methods A finite element wear model of RHKP was established based on the standard ISO 14243, and the simulation results including the wear distribution and mass wear rate of tibiofemoral joint surface were compared with the results from in vitro experiments on the same type of prosthesis. Results The mass wear rate of the polyethylene insert was 26.01 mg/MC (million cycle)from finite element analysis (FEA) and (30.06±1.21) mg/MC from in vitro experiments, and the mass wear rate of the upper surface of polyethene insert from FEA was about 3.3 times that of the lower surface. The wear area obtained by FEA was basically consistent with that obtained by in vitro wear measurement. The main wear area was symmetrically distributed in the middle and back of the upper surface. Conclusions The mass wear rate of RHKP, as a semi-restrictive prosthesis, is obviously higher than that of primary total knee joint prosthesis. More attention should be paid to wear test and evaluation of RHKP.
