Abstract: Objective　To investigate the pollution characteristics of major heavy metals in PM2.5 in urban areas of Haikou City, and to assess their potential health risks to humans. Methods　From 2021 to 2022, samples of atmospheric PM2.5 were monthly collected from the typical urban areas of Haikou, and the concentrations of nine heavy metal elements including arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), vanadium (V), and zinc (Zn) were measured using the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The health risk assessment of these heavy metals was conducted using a health risk model. Results　The average mass concentration of PM2.5 in Haikou was (20.506±13.054) µg/m³, with a range of 4.000 to 64.000 µg/m³ during the year 2021 and 2022. The PM2.5 concentrations showed significant seasonal variations: highest in winter, followed by autumn and spring, and lowest in summer. The total concentration of the nine heavy metal elements ranged from 0.030 to 138.000 ng/m³, with Zn, Mn, and Pb having the highest concentrations, particularly notable during the autumn and winter seasons. Enrichment factor (EF) analysis indicated moderate enrichment (10 Cd > Cr > As > Pb > V > Zn > Cu > Ni. The total non-carcinogenic hazard index (HI) ranged from 0.171 to 0.361. The inhalation incremental lifetime carcinogenic risk values (ILCR) for the four elements Cr, As, Cd, and Ni ranged from 2.911×10-7 to 1.558×10-5, with ILCR decreasing in that order. The total carcinogenic risk index (TR) varied between 1.502×10-5 and 3.169×10-5, with risk intensities for HI and TR in the order: children > adult males > adult females. Conclusions　The average PM2.5 concentration in the Haikou urban area is lower than the 24-hour average concentration limit of Grade I (35 µg/m3) in the "Environmental Air Quality Standard" (GB 3095-2012), but still higher than the control standard recommended by the WHO in 2021 (15 µg/m3). The non-carcinogenic health risks of the nine heavy metal elements detected in PM2.5 are not significant, but Cr and As have potential carcinogenic risks, with children being more vulnerable than other populations.

Objective To summarize the clinicopathologic characters and the route of lymphatic metastasis of cancers at the gastroesophageal junction. Methods Clinicopathologic data of 86 cancer patients treated from October 2000 to December 2004 were analyzed retrospectively. Results There were 66 males and 20 females, the mean age was 60 years. Most patients were of Bormann typeⅢadenocarcinoma. The incidence of high differentiated adenocarcinoma in TypeⅠcancer was higher than that in other two types (P = 0. 002, P = 0. 004) , while the incidence of poor differentiated carcinoma in typeⅢcancer was higher than other two types(P = 0. 005 ,P = 0. 015). Metastatic rate of lymph nodes in group 1 and group 2(34. 9% ) .group 3 and group 4(36. 0% ), group 7 through to group 9(27. 9% ), group 10 and 11 (15. 1% ) was higher than in other groups, while that in group 5 and 6(11. 6% ) , and group 12(5. 8% ) was lower compared with other lymph nodes (P

Objective To analyze the clinical effect of vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) on skin and soft tissue injury in elderly patients.Methods A total of 75 patients with severe skin and soft tissue injury who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled in this study.They were divided into two groups based on admission dates:the observation group (n =40,receiving VSD treatment,oddnumber date admission) and the control group (n=35,receiving routine dressing changes,even number date admission).The clinical indexes including pain score,wound healing time,infection rate and complications were analyzed and compared between the two groups.Results There was a significant difference in the average length of hospitalization between the two groups (21.3 days vl 30.7 days,t=7.60,P=0.0000).The infection rate was lower in the observation group than in the control group (12.5％ or 5/40 vs.54.3％ or 19/35,x2=13.12,P=0.0003).The incidence of complications was lower in the observation group than in the control group (15.0％ or 6/40 vs.42.9％ or 15/35,x2=5.87,P=0.0154).There were no deaths in the observation group,but one patient died from acute pulmonary embolism in the control group during hospitalization.Conclusions VSD can alleviate pain,reduce the infection rate,shorten the length of hospitalization and decrease bedridden complications in elderly patients with severe skin and soft tissue injury,and has valuable applications in clinical practice.

METHODS: The plama concentration of digoxin was determined by fluorescence polarization immunization, and the monitoring rssults were subjected to statistical analysis. RESULTS: Of the total 126 cases who treated with digoxin, the blood drug concentration in 32(25.4%) was above 2.0 ng?mL-1,and it was 0.8～2.0 ng?mL-1 in 83(65.9%) and less than 0.8 ng?mL-1 in 11(8.7%); Toxic symptoms were noted in 16 cases(12.7%). CONCLUSION: To ensure clinical efficacy and reduce incidence of toxic reactions, it is of great importance to monitior the blood drug level and formulate individual dosage regimen.

Objective To evaluate J-pouch coloanal anastomosis after low anterior resection for the middle and low rectal carcinoma. Methods From January 1998 to July 2002, 120 patients undergoing low anterior radical resection for the middle or low rectal carcinomas were divided into groups of coloanal anastomosis and that of 5 cm colonic J-pouch-anal anastomosis. WT5”HZResults These two groups were well matched for gender, age and histologic stage. There were no significant differences in operative time, hospital stay, complications, postoperative recurrence rate and postoperative survival time between the two groups as founded by an average follow-up of 18 months. The mean distance from the inferior edge of the tumor to the dentate line was (3 6?1 5) cm in the J-pouch group, significantly less than that in coloanal anastomosis group of (5 2?1 9) cm, ( P =0 000). Defecation frequency, urgency and incontinence were significantly improved at 3 months and 12 months after operation in the J-pouch group ( P 0 05). Conclusion J-pouch coloanal anastomosis after low anterior resection for the middle and low rectal carcinoma significantly improves the short-term bowel function after operation.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of tripterygium wilfordii combined with aescine in treatment of acute lung injury (ALI) following trauma.Methods A total of 120 patients with posttraumatic ALI were divided into four groups:tripterygium wilfordii + aescine group (combined group),tripterygium wilfordii group,aescine group,and control group according to random number table,with 30 patients per group.Regardless of the same conventional therapy,the patients in combined group were treated by orally or gastrically administered tripterygium wilfordii multiglycoside as well as aescine intravenously,once a day for 12 days; on the contrary,the same method but only with tripterygium wilfordii or aescine was respectively performed in tripterygium wilfordii and aescine groups.Blood gas analysis before and after treatment,length of ICU stay,fatality rate and incidence of ARDS in each group were observed.Changes in levels of inflammatory mediators (TNF-oα,IL-1,IL-6 IL-8,etc)were detected at days 4,8,and 12 after medication.Results Shorter length of ICU stay and lower ARDS incidence as well as 12-day fatality rate were detected in each treatment group as compared with control group,especially in combined group (P ＜ 0.05).Respiratory rate,PaO2 and oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) in each treatment group presented better amelioration than those in control group and especially better results were observed in combined group (P ＜ 0.05).Plasma levels of TNF-α,IL-1,IL-6,and IL-8 in each treatment group were lower than those in control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Tripterygium wilfordii and aescine havetherapeutic effect on posttraumatic ALI.Moreover,synergetic use of the two drugs achieves synergistic effect and better outcome.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathological difference and prognosis of colorectal adenocarcinomas including mutinous, Signet-ring cell, papillary and tubular carcinomas. Methods Two thousand and eighty-nine patients with colorectal cancer underwent colorectal operation between August 1994 and April 2007. The clinicopathological characteristics of mucinous adenocarcinoma (n=144), signet-ring cell carcinoma (n=25), papillary and tubular carcinomas (n= 1837) were compared expect of other types of cancer (n = 83). The single factor and Logistic regression methods were used to analyze the clinicopathological parameters that influence the prognosis of colorectal cancer such as age, location of the tumor, staging, peritoneum and pathological typing. The survival rates of patients with above three types of adenocareinomas were analyzed. Results The mean age of onset was lowest in patients with mutinous adenocarcinomas [(54. 20 ± 16.25) years] compared with that in patients with signet-ring cell cancer [(40.43 ± 12.88)years] or papillary and tubular carcinomas [(58. 73 ±13.62)]. There were significant differences in gender, size and location of the tumor, TNM staging, peritoneal metastasis, lymph node involvement and adjacent organ invasion among three groups (all P values <0.05). The single factor and Logistic regression analysis revealed that both mucinous adenocarcinoma and signet-ring cell carcinoma were risk factors ot prognosis. The patients with mucinous adenocarcinoma or signet-ring cell tumor were poor in long-term overall survival in comparison with patients with papillary and tubular carcinoma (P<0. 001). Conclusions The colorectal mucinous and signet-ring cell adenocarcinomas are risk factors for prognosis of colorectal cancer, which imply the poor outcome.

Objective To investigate the clinical pathologic characters of colorectal cancer with simultaneous hepatic metastasis and the prognosis. Methods From Aug. 1994 to Dec. 2006, 2019 cases of colorectal carcinoma were admitted, among them there were 166 patients of colorectal cancer with synchronous liver metastases receiving surgical therapy. Results were analyzed retrospectively using the software of SPSS. Results These 166 patients with synchronous liver metastases from colorectal cancer accounted for 8.1% of all 2019 patients of colorectal cancer admitted. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that CEA level before surgery、depth of invasion、 pathological type and Ducks' stage were the key risk factors predicting simultaneous liver metastasis from colorectal cancer. The survival rates at 1, 3 and 5 years were 69%, 21%, and 9% respectively. There was significant difference among the different liver metastasis group of H1, H2 and H3(X2=23.35, P<0.01). The survival rates of patients undergoing radical resection was higher than those undergoing palliative resection (PR)and by-pass operation or feeding neostomy(BP/ FN)(X2= 21.18,P<0.01). PR improved short-term prognosis but did not improve long-term survival compared with BP/FN group(P=0.13). Conclusion Colorectal cancer with synchronous liver metastases has poor clinic pathological characters. Different degree of liver metastasis result in different prognosis.Radical resection leads to a better prognosis. Palliative resection can improve short-term prognosis and life quality but can't improve long-term survival.
