Objective To develop a capillary electrophoresis method for the determination of methamidopho residue in water.Methods Methamidopho in water was determined by micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatograph.The qualitative analysis was done by retention time and quantitative analysis by external standard curve.Results The optimum conditions for methamidopho determination were: pH= 7.5,20 mmol/L phosphate buffer,30 mmol/L SDS,wavelength of 254 nm,separate voltage 25 kV,inject duration of 9 s.The linear range was 1.0-200 ?g/ml,the correlation coefficient was 0.999 1,the rates of recovery were 91.5%-105.2%,the relative standard deviations were 1.35%-3.24% for this method.The limit of determination was 0.007 1 ?g/ml(capillary volume was 3 ?l).Conclusion This method was sensitive,accurate and applicable to rapid the determination of methamidopho.

Objective To discuss method,operative characters and curative effect of total hip arthroplasty(THA)in treatment of acetabular fractures combined with ipsilateral femoral head or neck fractures.Methods One stage THA was done in seven patients with acetabular fractures combined with ipsilateral femoral head fracture(one patient)or femoral neck fractures(six patients)7-21 days after fractures.There were five males and two females,at age range of 41-65 years(average 50 years).According to AO classification,there were one patient with type A fracture,three with type B and three with type C.Of all,five patients received biological acetabular replacement after reduction and internal fixation of acetabular fracture and two received PMMA acetabular replacement with metal enforcement ring.All patients received biological femoral stem.Results Of all,six patients were followed up for from 2 years and 3 months to 6 years and 5 months(mean 3 years and 9 months),which showed heterotopic ossitlcation in one patient and dislocation in one who recovered after manipulative reduction.The Harris score was increased from mean prooperative 48 points to mean postoperative 91 points.X-ray found no loosening of prosthesis during follow-up.Conclusions THA can improve function of hip joint significantly,avoid further operation and lessen the burden of patients mentally and economically and hence is effective in treatment of acetabular fracture combined with ipsilateral femoral head or neck fractures.

As a result of observation in lab. ,it showed that the rice straw attracted snail well,it at-tracted uninfected and infected snails, and adult and young snails respectively without singnificant difference. On this basis,we can investigate the snails under water by rice straw curtains during water raising season. This paper reported that the method for weaving rice straw curtain fixed by stone,and using foamed plastics as buoy were easy and convenient. The rate of snail-attraction was highest when it took 14 hours ,especially in August.

Objective To clone the human Islet neogenesis associated protein(rhINGAP)gene,express the gene extraeellulary in Pichia yeast for.further study on biological function and animal test on INGAP.Methods INGAP gene Was amplified with PCR and inserted into the recombinant plasmidα/pUC18.Then,the fusion gene of α and INGAP was digested and inserted into the expression plasmid pPIC9K.The positive recombinant plasmid which integrated INGAP Was confirmed by restriction enzyme digestion and sequencing,and it Was linearized with Sal Ⅰ digestion and transfered into the yeast host strain GS115 through electroporation.The yeast transformants that harbor the desired gene INGAP with high copy were selected by the auxotroph mediam G418,and verified by PCR.The condition of hake-flask culture was optimized,and the recombinant human INGAP Was induced expression with methanol as the only Carbone source.The antigen activity of the desired protein Was detected by Western blotting and ELISA method.Results Recombinant plasmid αINGAP/pPIC9K were successfully constructed and three positive Pichia yeast transformants were obtained.The expressed protein had satisfactory antigen activity,which Was confirmed by the Western blotting and ELISA method.Conclusions Pichia yeast expressing human Islet neogenesis associated protein (rhINGAP)gene was successfully constructed.

The motor function of the trunk in 10 hemiplegic patlents was evaluated with Biodex Sys- tem Ⅱisokinetic testing aparatus. The result shows that the strength of flexors and extensors of the trunk,especially the flexors,becomes weaker(The ratio of flexors to extensors is less than 1).The patients weretreated with a series of the trunk retraining methods. The motor function of the trunk was improved aftertreatment(P<0.01 ).The total motor function(Fugl-Meyer Assessing Scale)also makes significant progress(P<0.01).The study proposes that the retraining and regaining of the trunk motor function in hemiplegiais quite important not only to the trunk but also to total motor function.

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is a primary hepatic malignant tumor with high malignancy and poor prognosis. In addition to surgical resection, there are no clear studies showing that there are other effective treatments. In recent years, with the deepening of the research on the immune mechanism of various malignant tumors, immunotherapy has been gradually attached importance to various anti-solid tumor treatments, and has also become an important direction in the treatment of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The important role of tumor microenvironment in the immunotherapy of malignant tumors is gradually recognized. In this paper, the characteristics of immune microenvironment in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma has been summarized, and the application of immunotherapy in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma has been reviewed, with emphasis on the development of immune checkpoint inhibitors, cancer vaccines and adoptive cellular immunotherapy.

Objective To investigate the effect of different types and dosages of contrast media on the function and cell injury of rat renal artery endothelium. Methods Renal artery rings were isolated from SD rats and incubated in IMDM medium with 30,60,90 ?l/ml Diatrizoate or Ioversol. The contents of NO and ET-1 were detected by Griess method and radioimmunoassay. The release of LDH was assessed by colotimetric method. Results After being incubated with Diatrizoate or Ioversol for 1 h,the renal artery endothelium did not show significant changes in the release of NO,but the release of ET-1 increased in a dose-dependent manner. When the renal artery endothelium was stimulated with Diatrizoate at dosage of 90 ?l/ml for 4 h,the release of LDH was increased markedly. A slight,but insignificant,increased release of LDH induced by Ioversol was observed. Conclusion Both Diatrizoate and Ioversol can affect the function of renal artery endothelium by interfering the secretion of ET-1,and the effects of Diatrizoate are more obvious than Ioversol. High-dose Diatrizoate can also induce renal artery endothelial cells injury.

Objective To explore the effect on metabolism of glucose and lipids, potential toxicity mechanism and possible biomarker candidates by analyzing urine metabonome changes of rats after oral administration of polychlorinated biphenyl congeners( PCBs) and high fat diet alone or in combination.Methods Male SD rats were divided randomly into control group,high fat diet group, PCBs group and combination group of PCBs and high fat diet.Urine samples were collected after 6-week treatment, 1 H NMR spectra were performed and analyzed by principal component analysis ( PCA) . Results The PCA scores plot of urine 1 H NMR data showed that the combined group could be easily distinguished from the other three groups, suggesting great difference in metabolism.The loading plot of the PCA revealed significant increase in the levels of lactate, glucose, creatine, 2-hydroxy-isovaleric acid and reduction in the levels of citrate, succinate, taurine, hippurate and trimethylamine oxide ( TMAO) in the combined exposure group after six-week exposure.Conclusion The altered levels of metabolites induced by combined exposure of PCBs and high fat diet may be related to the injury to mitochondrial function, reduction of energy metabolism in tricarboxylic acid cycle (TAC).These effects possibly lead to perturbations in the metabolism of glucose, lipid and amino acids.The altered metabolites may be considered biomarker candidates of toxicity induced by exposure to PCBs and high fat diet.
