Objective To establish the method of high performance liquid chromatography and hydrid genesis atomic fluorescence spectroscopy(HPLC-HGAFS) about arsenic species in urine of rats treated with sodium arsenite.Methods The solution containing 15 mmol/L(NH4)2HPO4(pH=6.0)was used as the chromatographic eluant,the flow rate of which was 1.0 ml/min.The parameters of HPLC-HGAFS consisted of multiplier negative high voltage,hollow-cathode lamp's joint current and co-current,the flow rate of carrier gas,the flow rate of barrier shield gas,supporting liquid and reducing agent,which were 285 V,80 mA,36 mA,400 ml/min,600 ml/min,7%HCl and the mixed liquor of 1.5%KBH4 and 0.35% KOH respectively.Results The linear range of method was 20-100 ?g/L,and the linearity of regression equation of iAs3+,iAs5+,DMA was better.The lowest detection concentration of iAs3 +,iAs5 +,DMA in urine were 12.03,6.67 and 8.66 ?g/L respectively and all of the coefficient correlation were ≥0.98.The average recovery rates of DMA were 96.5%-103.4% and RSDs were 0.39%-1.26%.Conclusion The method has been proved accurate,sensitive and is applicable to the determination of arsenic species in urine.

Objective To evaluate the importance of the prenatal diagnosis to fetus with mild ventriculomegaly ( MVM) in pregnancy outcome and prognosis. Methods The ultrosonographic results of 51 pregnant women who were admitted to our hospital were collected in this study. In each case,a thorough evaluation of fetal anatomy was performed,karyotyping or MRI was done if needed,and follow-up was done un-til afterbirth. Results In 51 cases of lateral ventriculomegaly fetal:ultrasonography indicated there were 26 fetuses with mild ventriculomega-ly. The incidence of MVM complicated with other abnormities was 46. 0%,and that complicated with chromosome disorder was 11. 5%. Con-clusion Ultrasonography plays an important role in the detection of MVM. Chromosome analysis should be carried out for elder pregnant women when their fetuses are diagnosed as MVM and other complicating abnormities.

Objective:To study the effect of intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy combined with venoclysis on postoperative gastric cancer.Methods:140 postoperative patients with gastric cancer were divided into IPHPC group(n=72) and chemotherapy of venoclysis group(n=68).The intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy and chemotherapy of venoclysis were applied for the patients in IPHPC group at one time.Postoperative complications,toxicity,survival rate and peritoneal recurrence rate in two groups were observed.Results:There was no sharp difference in the postoperative complications and toxicity between the two groups.The 3,5 year-survival rate were 86.1%,60.2% and 58.3%,29.4% in IPHPC group and CV group.The 3,5 year-peritoneal cavity recurrence rate were 5.6%,20.6%and 27.8%,53% in IPHPC group and CV group.There were significant differences in survival rate and peritoneal recurrence rate between the two groups.Conclusion:Intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy combined with venoclysis can prevent recurrence and metastasis effectively,and improve the survival rate and quality of life of postoperative gastric cancer patients.

Objective:To investigate the relation of antiradiation effect of LJP and lymphocyte apoptosis. Methods:36 Wistar rats were randomly divided into 6 groups (n=6): control, model,and LJP given i.g.at 4 doses(100,200,300,400 mg/ kg bw) for 10d before whole-body irradiation with 9.0 Gy Co?-ray. 18h later,the effects of LJP on the indices of immune function of the irradiated rats 60 were measured. TUNEL and flow cytometry were used to study the effects of LJP on splenic lymphocyte apoptosis and immunohistochemical technique was used to detect the expression of Bcl-2 and the Bax protein. Results:LJP significantly modulated immune function in irradiated rats. The apoptosis ratio of splenic lymphocyte of the model group was higher than those of other groups. LJP could markedly inhibit the effects of irradiation on apoptosis and increase the ratio of bcl-2/bax protein in dose-effect manner. Conclusion:LJP could inhibit splenic lymphocyte apoptosis induced by irradiation, and its mechanism is associated with regulating the expression of bcl-2 and bax protein of splenic lymphocyte. Key word:laminaria japonica polysaccharides; irradiation; lymphocyte; apoptosis apoptosis-related genes

Objective To investigate the safety of different intensity anticoagulation therapy of warfarin in preventing thromboembolism in octogenarian patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). Methods The 130 patients with persistent or permanent NVAF were randomly divided into three groups: low-intensity warfarin group (35 cases, international normalized ratio, INR (1.5-2.0), moderate-intensity warfarin group (32 cases, INR 2.1-2.5) and aspirin control group (63 cases). The rate of hemorrhagic events and the effect on renal function were observed. Results The incidence of hemorrhage was the lowest in low-intensity warfarin group compared to the other groups with slight bleeding in one case. life-threatening bleeding in one case, severe bleeding in one case and slight bleeding in four cases occurred in moderate-intensity warfarin group. Life-threatening bleeding in three cases, severe bleeding in two cases and slight bleeding in six cases occurred in aspirin control group. There were significant differences in bleeding incidence among the three groups (χ2=5.13,P＜0.05). The low-intensity warfarin group and moderate-intensity warfarin group were superior to the aspirin control group in the effect on renal function (P＜0.05). Conclusions It is safe that the dose of warfarin is maintained at low anticoagulation intensity between INR 1.5 and 2.0 in octogenarians with NVAF.

Objective To detect serum ubiquitin-like with PHD and ring finger domains 1 (UHRF1) levels in the patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC),and analyze their differences among different clinicopathological features subgroups and changes during the perioperative period.Methods Serum samples from 130 preoperative ESCC patients,62 patients 1 week after operation,14 patients 1 week and 2 weeks after operation and 67 healthy controls,and clinicopathological data from ESCC patients were collected.Serum UHRF1 levels were detected by ELISA,and the differences among different groups were analyzed with independent t test,paired t test or one-way ANOVA.Results Serum UHRF1 levels in 130 preoperative ESCC patients were significantly higher than that in healthy controls (t =7.680,P ＜ 0.01),and they were related to the ESCC patients' tumor size,differentiation degree,tumor invasion,lymph nodes metastasis and pTNM stage (P ＜ 0.05),but unrelated to the patients' age,gender,tumor location and types (P ＞ 0.05).Serum UHRF1 levels in 62 postoperative patients were significantly lower than that before operation (t =5.530,P ＜ 0.01),but similar to that in healthy controls (t =1.622,P ＞ 0.05).The serum UHRF1 levels before operation,1 week after operation and 2 weeks after operation in 14 ESCC patients decreased gradually (F =7.595,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Serum UHRF1 levels may be a potential biomarker for dynamically monitoring perioperative ESCC patients.

Objective To analyze the clinical and immunological manifestations of antiphospholipid syndrome(APS)in a cohort of 100 patients.Methods The clinical and serologic features of APS(Sapporo preliminary criteria)in 100 patients were analyzed retrospectively.Results The cohort consisted of 79 female patients and 21 male patients witb a mean age of 36?13 years at diagnosis.Primary APS was presented in 37% of patients;APS was secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE)in 46%,lupus-like syndrome in 14%. Eighty percent of the patients had thrombosis,43(54%)patients had venous thrombosis,18(22%)had arterial thrombosis,15(19%)had both arterial and venous thrombosis.4(5%)had thrombosis of microcirculation. Forty-two(52%)patients presented thrombosis at a single site,26(32%)at two sites,12(15%)at three or more sites.Forty-five(56%)patients experienced one thrombotic episode,20(25%)patients had only one re- currence,and 15(19%)had more thrombosis.The most common manifestations of thrombosis were deep vein thrombosis(36%),pulmonary embolism(30%)and stroke(26%),with heart,kidney,gastrointestinal tract and other organs involvements.Thirty-four(51%)female patients had spontaneous fetal losses including intrauter- ine fetus death and recurrent spontaneous abortion.Seventy-one(71%)patients developed thromboeytopenia. The presence of antieardiolipin antibody(ACL)was detected in 84 patients(84%).Among 90 patients with APS,alone ACL was detected in 38 patients(42%),both ACL and lupus anticoagulant(LA)were detected in 36(40%),LA alone in 16(18%).Patients with APS associated with SLE or lupus-like syndrome had higher frequency of arthritis,leukopenia,antinuclear antibodies(ANA)and low complement levels.Female patients had a higher frequency of leukopenia,ANA and ACL.Male patients had a higher prevalence of deep venous thrombosis in the lower limbs and LA.Conclusion APS is an autoimmune disorder characterized by recurrent arterial and venous thrombosis,fetal loss,or thrombocytopenia with the presence of ACL and/or LA.In APS secondary to with SLE,the patient's sex can modify the disease expression and define specific subsets of APS.
