Using cyproheptadine ( CYP) as template molecule, methacrylic acid ( MAA) as monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as cross-linker, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) with high selectivity to cyproheptadine (CYP) were prepared by the optimization of porogen, monomer, and the mole ratio of monomer to template. The specific surface area of the prepared polymers was 24. 9 m2 / g. The recovery of CYP was above 94. 0% when the following procedure was applied to the cartridge of MIP as adsorptive material: conditioning with methanol and water, loading with water, washing with water and methanol, and eluting with methanol-ammonia (95: 5, V/ V). As a control, the recovery of CYP on non-imprinted polymers cartridge (NISPE) was only 38. 9% . The binding capacity of the molecularly imprinted solid phase extraction (MISPE) towards CYP found to be about 8. 8 mg of CYP/ g polymers and the imprinting factor (IF) was about 2. 32. Under optimal conditions, a mixed standard solution of CYP, amitriptyline, sulfadiazine and trimethoprim (10 mg / L each) was uploaded on the MISPE and NISPE for selectivity experiment. The gradient elution was used by using 0. 05% sodium pentanesulfonate solution (A)-acetintrile (B) as a mobile phase. The recoveries on the MISPE for sulfadiazine and trimethoprim (different structure with CYP) were less than 10% , however, the recovery for the similar structural amitriptyline was more than 70% , and the recovery more than 90% for CYP. All the recoveries on the NISPE for four analytes were less than 30% . This new MISPE cartridge was applied to extract and enrich CYP in livestock drinking water sample, and the recoveries of CYP ranged from 80. 5% -97. 7% , and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0. 01 mg / L.

Objective: To investigate the etiology, clinical features, treatment and outcome of nephrotic syndrome associated with chronic mercury poisoning. Methods: From June 2013 to April 2018, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University received 33 patients with chronic mercury-neutral nephrotic syndrome. The clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, treatment methods, and outcomes were analyzed. Results: Among the 33 patients, 27 patients had mercury exposure due to daily-life contact and the other 6 patients were caused by iatrogenic mercury. The symptom was characterized by typical nephrotic syndrome such as lower extremity edema and proteinuria at first onset. The treatment was based on mercury-removing treatment, 19 cases were treated with mercury removal alone, 16 cases were completely relieved; 10 cases were treated with mercury removal and glucocorticoids, all of which were completely relieved; 4 cases were treated with mercury removal, glucocorticoids and immunosuppressive agents, all complete remission; clinical complete remission rate is about 90.9% (30 cases in total) . Urinary mercury levels decreased the fastest between the first and second courses of mercury treatment, but the total amount of urine protein increased. As the amount of urinary mercury excreted increased, the total amount of urine protein decreased gradually (Z=2.86, P<0.01) . Conclusion The clinical features of chronic mercury-induced nephrotic syndrome are non-specific, easy to be misdiagnosed and missed. The treatment is mainly treated with mercury removal treatment. The prognosis is good. In severe cases, glucocorticoid therapy can be supplemented.

Objective:To analyze the urine of normal healthy left-behind children under 1 year old and left-behind children with zinc deficiency under 1 year old in Zunyi area using hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1HNMR), thus providing a new biomarker for the early diagnosis of zinc deficiency. Methods:From January to August 2018, a total of 40 normal healthy left-behind children under 1 year old in Zunyi area(healthy control group)[22 males and 18 females, average age of (7.78±3.62) months, average height of (65.01±2.67) cm and average body mass of (7.15±1.59) kg] and 40 age-matched left-behind children with zinc deficiency in the same region(zinc deficiency group)[19 males and 21 females, average age of (7.89±3.57) months, average height of (64.25±2.95) cm and average body mass of (7.02±1.68) kg] were included for a cross-sectional study by stratified sampling.The urine 1HNMR spectra of children in the 2 groups were measured, and the age, height, body mass and serum zinc content of children in the 2 groups were compared.The metabolites of the 2 groups were compared by metabono-mics technology combined with multivariate statistical analysis, and the differential metabolites of children with zinc deficiency were screened out. Results:There were no significant differences in age, height and body mass between the 2 groups (all P>0.05). The serum zinc level of healthy control group was significantly higher than that of zinc deficiency group [(54.3±3.06) mmol/L vs.(39.2±3.77) mmol/L, t=22.65, P<0.05]. Urine 1HNMR spectrogram results showed that compared with healthy controls, 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid, phenyl acetyl glycine, and hippuric acid salt water were significantly lower in zinc deficiency group ( r=-0.620, -0.689, and -0.721, respectively, all | r|>0.602, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Zinc deficiency in left-behind children under 1 year old in Zunyi area is mainly manifested by decreased metabolites of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid, phenylacetyl glycine and horse-urate, suggesting metabolic disorder of intestinal flora.Differentially expressed metabolites have a potential application value in the early diagnosis of zinc deficiency.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of lung function in the patients with asbestosis of different stages,and analyze the correlations between the puhnonary function values and imaging score of chest X-ray.Methods A cohort of newly diagnosed 249 asbestosis patients over a period of eight years in a single center were evaluated.Clinical data were colleeted from clinical charts.Radiographs were reviewed by the experts blinded to clinical data.The asbestosis patieuts were classified into Ⅰ to Ⅲ stages by chest X-ray according to the guideline.The correlations between the pulmonary function values and imaging score of chest Xray were aualyzed.Results The prevalence of stage Ⅰ to Ⅲ in this asbestosis cohort was 73.5％,19.3％ and 7.2％ respectively.With the stages iucreasing,the patients' forced vital capacity (FVC),total lung capacity (TLC),total carbon nonoxide diflitsion capacity (DLCO) predicted values were all reduced showing the restrictive ventilation impairment and/or gas exchange barrier.The obstruction of the small respiratory tracts was detected in the asbestosis of all the different stages.According to the small shadow density of each lung area,chest small shadow density score had a siguifieant negative correlation with FVC,TLC or DLCO predicted values respectively (all P＜O.01).Conclusion The patients with asbestosis of different stages had varying degrees of gas exchange impairment,small airway dysfunction with or without ventilation dysfunction.The decreasing of DLCO was earlier than lung volume change.Chest X-ray image score paralleled the decline of lung function values,reflecting the severity of the disease.

Objective: To explore the characteristic changes in urinary metabolites in left-behind children with vitamin D deficiency under 1 year old in Zunyi area by metabolomic nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in order to provide new biomarkers for early diagnosis of vitamin D deficiency. Methods: From January to August 2018, blood tests and urine collection were carried out on the left-behind children under 1 year old in Fenggang county, Bozhou district and Zheng′an county under Zunyi city by stratified sampling.Forty children diagnosed as a vitamin D deficiency were selected as a vitamin D deficiency group, and 40 children with normal urine test were selected as a healthy control group.For urine sampling, SIMCA-P+ software was applied to analyze the integral value of hydrogen spectrogram by principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) was used to distinguish the difference in urine metabolites between two groups of the left-behind children.Orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) was used to screen different metabolites. Results: The serum level of 25-hydroxy vitamin D[25-(OH)D][(32.0±3.6) nmol/L ] in the healthy control group was higher than that in the vitamin D deficiency group[(15.8±2.3) nmol/L], and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). PCA and PLS-DA analysis showed significant differences in urine metabolites between the healthy control group and the vitamin D deficiency group (P<0.05). OPLS-DA indicated R²X=0.365, Q²=0.978, which further verified the difference of metabolites.Compared with the healthy control group, the urine of methyl malonic acid, 3-hydroxy butyrate, N-acetyl glycoprotein signal, glutamic acid, dimethyl glycine, 2-ketone glutaric acid, taurine, fumaric acid salt level increased significantly in the vitamin D deficiency group, and the differences were statistically significant (|r|>0.602, all P<0.05, df=39). However, the levels of ethyl malonic acid, creatine, choline, glycerophosphalocholine and equine were significantly decreased, and the differences were statistically significant (|r|>0.602, all P<0.05, df=39). Conclusions The left-behind children under 1 year old with vitamin D deficiency in Zunyi region are mainly characterized by disorder in energy metabolism, lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism and intestinal microbial meta-bolism disorders, and their differential metabolites have potential application value in early diagnosis and pathogenesis of vitamin D deficiency.
