Objective To investigate a water contamination accident caused by industrial wastewater during Feb 27th-29th ,2004,in Tuojiang river, analyze the variation of sanitary quality of drinking water during and after the accident. Methods After the occurrence of the accident,consecutive surveillance and analyses were done to discover the variation of the levels of amino-nitrogen,nitrite and nitrate in source water and finished water of Jianyang Water Works and Neijiang No 2 Water Works,which located at the lower reaches of Jianyang. Results The levels of amino-nitrogen in source water and finished water of Jianyang Water Works reached the first peak [(47.04?2.48)?(45.97?2.37)mg/L]at the 3rd day(March 3rd) after the end of discharge of industrial wastewater from contamination source,decreased at the 4th day ,reached the second peak at the 5th day[(42.26?2.88)?(39.50?2.64)mg/L], then decreased gradually, presented the normal levels at the 11th day[(0.54?0.10)?(0.30?0.12)mg/L]. The levels of nitrite in source water and finished water of Jianyang Water Works reached the first peak [(2.09?0.23)?(0.91?0.15)mg/L] at the 2 nd-3rd day after the end of discharge of industrial wastewater from contamination source,decreased at the 4th day ,reached the second peak at the 5th day[(2.18?0.33),(0.61?0.16)mg/L], then decreased gradually,presented the normal levels at the 11th day[(0.16?0.07)?(0.02?0.01)mg/L]. The levels of nitrate in source water and finished water of Jianyang Water Works(3.56~9.15 mg/L) didn't exceed the standard ruled the Sanitary Standard for Drinking Water (2001) throughout the duration of accident. The levels of amino-nitrogen and nitrite in source water and finished water of Neijiang No.2 Water Works both exceeded the related standards, the levels of nitrate met the requirement of the Sanitary Standard for Drinking Water (2001) during the period from the first day to the third day after the end of discharge of industrial wastewater from contamination source. From the forth day to the 25 th day, Neijiang No.2 Water Works was changed to be supplied by the Five-star reservoir,and produced safe and sanitary finished water meeting the requirement of the Sanitary Standard for Drinking Water (2001). Conclusion This wastewater contamination accident seriously deteriorates the quality of drinking water in Jianyang and Neijiang.

Objective To Cenderstand the sanitation status of secondary drinking water supply system of public places. Methoods The sanitation of secondary drinking water supply system was investigated by on_site survey method and the sanitary quality of water samples were determined. Results The over_standard rates contents of Fe and total coliformz of water samples of secondary water supply system significantly increased compared with the related levels of tap water of municipal water supply. The unqualified rate of free residual chorine of water sample from secondary water supply system reached 54.55%. Conclusions The equipments for secondary water supply were obsolete and unretional design. The sanitary quality of secondary water supply was also affected by geological structure easily.

Objective To investigate the levels of serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-?琢) and soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor (sTNF-R) and sTNF-R/TNF-?琢 ratios in patients with severe lupus nephritis (SLN) and the impact of double pulse therapy with methylprednisolone (MP) combined cytoxan (CTX). Methods Serum TNF-?琢, soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor type Ⅰ(sTNF-RⅠ) and soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor type Ⅱ (sTNF-RⅡ) levels were determined in 38 cases of SLN patients and 35 health controls by double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) before and after the double pulse therapy with MP and CTX. Anti-dsDNA antibody was detected by ELISA. Antinuclear antibody (ANA) was detected by indirect immunofluorescence experiments. Complement C3 and complement C4 were detected by rate nephelometry. Results The serum levels of TNF-?琢, sTNF-RⅠ, sTNF-RⅡand ratios of TNF-?琢/sTNF-RⅠ, TNF-a/sTNF-RⅡ were significantly higher in SLN patients than those in normal control group (P

One hundred and sixteen senile patients (older than 65 years) with chronic heart failure (CHF) were analyzed retrospectively in order to verify if old patients with CHF would benefit from long-term (one year) angiotension-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) treatment. The frequency of drugs (including ACEI, digitalis and diuretic) used was stratified into four degrees accordingly. Development of the CHF was scored with regard to relapse rate and severity of this disease. Stepwise regression analysis was applied to explore the relationship between the scored outcome of CHF and the frequency of individual drug administration. A significant relationship of the scored outcome of CHF to the frequency of ACEI usage but not to digitalis nor to diuretics was found (partial coefficient of the correlation r = 0.42, P = 0.002). It was concluded that the long-term administration of ACEI improves the outcome of CHF in senile patients.

Inquisition language,as the information carrier on observing and describing disease status,makes it possible for patients to communicate well with doctors to acknowledge disease information.In order to make inquisition language possess specific properties of medical conversation,doctors need to master language skills in procedural inquisition,proper listening and responding to inquisition,distinguishing inquisition,transitional inquisition and secret-involved inquisition.Upholding inquisition language with courtesy,comfort,being explanatory,encouraging,and protecting is the basic requirement of clinical ethics.

Objective To investigate changes and clinical significance of serum granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor(GM-CSF),tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-?),interleukin-6(IL-6)and interleukin-8(IL-8)level in patients with bee-sting poisoning.Methods One hundred and nine patients with bee-sting poisoning were also divided into slight poisoning group,moderate poisoning group,and server poisoning group and also divided into dead group and survival group according to the prognosis.Thirty healthy persons were selected as control group.GM-CSF and TNF-?were measured using radioimmunoassay,IL-6 and IL-8 was measured using enzyme linked immunoadsorbent assay(ELISA),and they were compared with control grouup.Results The levels of serum GM-CSF,TNF-?,IL-6,IL-8 in slight poisoning group were increased a little,and there were no significant difference compared with control group(P>0. 05).The levels of serum GM-CSF,TNF-?,IL-6 and IL-8 were significantly higher in moderate poisoning group and severe poisoning group than those in the control group(P<0.01),but the severe poisoning group were much higher than the moderate poisoning group(P<0.01).They were significantly higher in survival group than those in dead group(P<0.01).APACHEⅡscores were obvious correlated with the levels of serum GM-CSF,TNF-?,IL-6 and IL-8(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion GM-CSF,TNF-?,IL-6 and IL-8 may participate in the occurrence and progress of patients with bee-sting poisoning.Dynamic monitoring of serum GM-CSF,TNF-?,IL-6,IL-8 and APACHEⅡscores plays an important role in diagnosis of the severity of patients with bee-sting poisoning and its prognosis.The use of antagonist and inhibitor of cytokines may be helpful to treat patients with bee-sting poisoning.

Mesorhizobium huakuii strain 7653R,isolated from nodules of A.sinicus L,contains two indige-nous plasmids,p7653Ra and p7653Rb,the latter being the symbiotic plasmid.We eliminated the plasmids via Tn5-sacB insertion and obtained its symbiotic plasmid-cured derivative 7653RD.Then,we transferred the symbiotic plasmid pJB5JI of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv.Viciae T83K3 into 7653R and 7653RD.The pot plant test showed an increase in competitive ability and symbiotic nitrogen fixation of transconjugant 7653R-197(pJB5JI) compared to 7653R.pJB5JI could not restore the ability of 7653RD to nodulate Astra-galus sinicus.7653RD(pJB5JI) could form ineffective nodules on peas,implying that the symbiotic plasmid pJB5JI could express its function at the chromosomal background of Mesorhizobium huakuii 7653R.We checked the stability of plasmid in transconjugants under free-living and during symbiosis.The results indi-cated pJB5JI could not be detected in some nodule isolates.We amplified kan resistance gene from all transconjugants and nodule isolates which suggested that pJB5JI might fully or partially integrated into the chromosome of recipients.
