A method was developed for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ( PAHs ) in water by HPLC coupled with online solid phase extraction ( online SPE ) . After filtered, 1 mL of a water sample was injected directly, and then trapped on the SPE column ( Acclaim PAⅡ, 50 mm × 4. 6 mm, 3 μm) for extraction and purification; finally, the trapped analytes were transferred to the analytical column (Hypersil Green PAH, 150 mm × 3 mm, 3 μm) for the separation using valve-switching technique. The mobile phase used for online SPE was water/acetonitrile at different flow rate ( 0 . 4 and 0 . 6 mL/min ) in gradient elution mode;and that used for the separation was water/acetonitrile at 0. 8 mL/min flow rate. UV wavelength was set at 254 nm for the determination of naphthalene and acenaphthylene with no/very weak fluorescent response;fluorescence detection using programmed wavelength switching in three parallel channels was used for the other PAHs. The whole analysis process including online SPE and separation was completed within 32 min. The relative standard deviation ( RSD) of 20 PAHs were all less than 0. 16% for retention time, and less than 1. 3% for peak area (n=7). The peak area had a good linearity with the sample concentration in three orders of magnitude with correlation coefficients of above 0 . 9910 . The recoveries for 0 . 05 μg/L of each analyte in tap water were in the range of 57%-140%, and for 5 . 0 μg/L of each analyte were in the range of 85%-116%. The limits of detection of the method were less than 0 . 05 μg/L ( S/N=3 ) for most PAHs.

Objective To investigate the different expression of microRNA-155 (miR-155) and cysteine-rich 61 (CYR61) in human placentas between severe preeclamptic and normal pregnancies.Methods Placentas were obtained from severe preeclamptic and healthy control pregnant women (n=18 for each group) at 36~40 gestational weeks. The expressions of miR-155 and CYR61 mRNA were assessed by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, and the levels of CYR61 protein were tested by Western blot. Results Compared with the control group, the miR-155 expression was increased in placentas from severe preeclampsia groups ( 165. 7 ± 16. 4 vs 527.9±49.1,t=7.00, P<0.01), and the CYR61 mRNA expression (31.7±2.7 vs 16.4±1.2,t=5.10,P<0. 01), as well as the CYR61 protein expression (36.4±1.5 vs 19.7±1.2,t=36.26, P<0.01 ) were decreased. There was a significantly negative correlation between the expression of miR-155 and CYR61 mRNA within both groups (preeclamptic group: r=-0.52, P<0.05;control:r=-0.57, P<0.05). Conclusions Up-regulation of placental miR-155 in severe preeclampsia may be related to the decreased expression of CYR61. Both miR-155 and CYR61 may contribute to the disorders of placental angiogenesis in severe preeclampsia in human.

Objective To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of intraluminal implantation of 125I seeds strand combined with stent placement in treating malignant biliary obstruction. Methods During the period from June 2009 to June 2013, a total of 68 patients with malignant biliary obstruction were admitted to Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital. Interventional management was carried out in all patients. The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Of the 68 patients, intraluminal implantation of 125I seeds strand combined with simultaneous stent placement was performed in 41 (combination therapy group) and only stent placement was employed in 27 (conventional therapy group). The survival time, the improvement of obstructive jaundice, recurrence of jaundice and procedure-related adverse events were recorded, and the results were compared between the two groups. Results Implantation of 125I seeds strand and stent placement were successfully accomplished in all patients. Statistically significant differences in serum bilirubin levels, which were separately determined at 7 days and 14 days after the treatment, existed between the two groups (P<0.05). No obvious marrow depression was observed in the combination therapy group. The median survival time of the conventional therapy group and the combination therapy group was 123 days and 215 days respectively. The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion For the treatment of malignant biliary obstruction, combination use of intraluminal brachytherapy and stent placement is clinically more safe and effective than conventional pure stent placement therapy.

Objective:To provide countermeasures and suggestions for the current operation and management of public hospitals by analyzing the impacts of COVID-19 on public hospitals′ operation.Methods:Collection of operation data of 44 public hospitals in Wenzhou from January to March in both 2019 and 2020. By means of descriptive analysis and financial analysis, we analyzed the impacts of the pandemic on the hospitals′ business, revenue and expenditure structure.Results:As of April 2020, even the outpatients visits and inpatient at Wenzhou public hospitals had significantly rebounded, and the downrange for the same periods of 2019 was as high as 23.12% and 17.37% respectively. April witnessed the total medical service revenue of 44 hospitals business totaled 17.44 billion yuan, down 15.43%from the previous year and up 17 percentage points compared to the decline in the first quarter(at 32.54%). As the pandemic moves into a normalized state for epidemic prevention and control, the recovery of medical business was slow, while expenditure of manpower costs and epidemic prevention costs had increased instead. Capital pressure would be the biggest pressure for most hospitals.Conclusions:The hospitals need to further strengthen their operation of fine management and cost control, for sustainable development. It is suggested that government departments should continue to increase effective investment in public health, reduce hospitals′ social insurance premiums in stages, further promote the implementation of online medical service pricing policies, especially Internet hospitals, and relax hospitals′ working capital loan access to ensure liquidity turnover.

OBJECTIVETo assess the association of rs216293 T/G and rs1063857 T/C polymorphisms of von Willebrand factor (vWF) gene with the morbidity of coronary artery disease (CAD) and the number of involved vessels among an ethnic Han Chinese population from Zhejiang province.
METHODSA case-control study was conducted. For 246 patients and 156 unaffected controls, the frequencies of genotypes and alleles of the rs216293T/G and rs1063857T/C polymorphisms were determined, and their association with CAD and the numbers of involved vessels were assessed.
RESULTSThe frequencies of G allele of rs216293 and C allele of rs1063857 were higher in the CAD patients compared with those of the controls (30.3% vs.23.7%, chi-square=4.107, P=0.043; 7.7% vs. 4.2%, chi-square=4.066, P=0.044). The G allele of the rs216293 polymorphism and C allele of the rs1063857 polymorphism were both higher in the CAD patients compared with the controls (53.7% vs.41.0%, chi-square=6.098, P=0.014; 15.4% vs. 8.3%, chi-square=4.361, P=0.037). After adjusting the influence factors by logistic regression analysis, the G allele carriers of rs216293 and the C allele carriers of rs1063857 showed an increased risk for CAD (OR=1.625, 95%CI: 1.060-2.492, P=0.026; OR=2.305, 95% CI: 1.142-4.654, P=0.040). No significant difference was detected in the frequency of both rs216293 and rs1063857 among patients with single or multiple vessels (P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe rs216293T/G and rs1063857T/C polymorphisms of the vWF gene are both associated with the risk for CAD among the selected population. The G allele of the rs216293 polymorphism and C allele of the rs1063857 polymorphism may be the genetic determinants for CAD.
