Objective To study the adsorption ability of the chitosan and the chitosan film to Cd2+. Methods Under the given condition,different time and different temperature and different beginning concentration of Cd2+, the adsorption rate and capability of the chitosan and the chitosan film were studied. Results The chitosan (or chitosan film) could adsorb Cd2+ quickly at first,however,an hour later,the adsorption rate declined slowly. Adsorption rate increased as the temperature increases. There was significant connection between the beginning concentration of Cd2+ and the adsorption rate and capability of the chitosan(or chitosan film). The adsorption rate of the chitosan (or chitosan film) even reached above 80% when the beginning concentration of Cd2+ was no more than 20 mg/L, whereas the adsorption rate and capability of the chitosan (or chitosan film) declined slowly when enhanced the beginning concentration of Cd2+. The adsorption rate and capability of the chitosan (or chitosan film) obtained a maximum only when the beginning concentration of Cd2+ was about 10 mg/L. The adsorptive ability of the chitosan film to Cd2+ was stronger than that of chitosan under the same condition. Conclusion The biosorption of the chitosan (or chitosan film) to Cd2+ fits the Langmuir equation and the adsorbability to Cd2+ of the chitosan film is stronger compared with chitosanb.

Objective To observe the changes of the depressive behavior and amygdaloid nucleus nerve growth factor(NGF)expression in estro?gen?deprived female rats and explore the possible mechanism and targets of estradiol in depression treatment. Methods A total of 30 adult SD fe?male rats were randomly assigned to 3 groups:sham operation group(SHAM,n=10);ovariectomized group(OVX,n=10)and ovariectomized rats treated with estradiol group(OVX+E,n=10). The behavior changes were observed by tail suspension test(TST)and sucrose preference test (SPT) after 8?week estradiol treatment. Subsequently ,immunohistochemical staining detect NGF expression in amygdaloid nucleus. Results Compared with the SHAM group rats,sucrose preference ratio significantly decreased in SPT(P<0.01),immobile time prolonged in TST(P<0.01),serum estradiol level and amygdaloid NGF expression significantly decreased(all P<0.01). 8?week estradiol treatment ameliorated depres?sion?like behavior and increased serum E2 level and NGF expression in amygdaloid nucleus in OVX+E group rats when compared with the OVX group(all P<0.01). Conclusion Estradiol treatment can improve the depressive behavior of ovariectomized rats ,which may be related to the in?crease of serum estradiol level and the expression of NGF in amygdaloid nucleus.

Objective To explore the clinical features of transbronchial tuberculous mediastinal lymph-adenitis and value of bronchoscopic interventional therapy. Methods The clinical data of 50 patients who had been diagnosed as tuberculous mediastinal lymphadenitis and had received bronchoscopic interventional therapy in our hospital during the period from January 2008 to January 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. The bronchoscopic change , improvement in symptoms , and time to sputum smear and culture conversion were used to assess the therapeutic effect. The patients were followed up for six months. Results The mean age of the patients was (35 ± 15) years and the male to female ratio was 1:1.2. The lesions occurred mostly at the right middle lobe in 24% (12/50) of the patients. The total effectiveness rate was up to 98% (49/50) after chemotherapy and bronchoscopic interventional therapy. The major complication associated with interventional therapy was hemoptysis (8%, 4/50). After follow-up of 6 months , 49 patients with active lesions were stable , with smooth bronchial mucosa and no obvious obstruction by granulation and caseous necrosis tissues. Conclusions The relavent clinical symptoms of transbronchial tuberculous mediastinal lymphadenitis is mainly caused by tuberculosis inflammation which destroys and blocks the airway. The fiber bronchoscopic therapy with forceps clip and drug infusion has a definite effect and fewer complications.

Objective To explore the feasibility of amide proton transfer (APT) MR imaging to detect cerebral abnormality of the substantia nigra and red nucleus in patients with Parkinson disease (PD). Methods Twenty-seven patients with PD and twenty-three age-matched healthy control subjects were recruited in this study. According to Hoehn&Yahr stages, PD group was divided into two subgroups:early-stage(n=14) and advanced-stage(n=13). PD with right limb onset were seen in 14 patients, and PD with left limb onset in 13 patients. All the PD patients and healthy controls underwent brain APT MR imaging. The magnetic resonance ratio asymmetry (MTRasym) values at 3.5 ppm of bilateral substantia nigra and red nucleus were measured on APT images. MTRasym(3.5 ppm)values of substantia nigra and red nucleus between PD patients and control subjects were compared with independent-samples t test. The difference of MTRasym(3.5 ppm)among normal controls, early-stage PD, and advanced-stage PD patients was assessed with one-way analysis of variance. Paired-samples t test was used to compare the difference of MTRasym (3.5 ppm) in substantia nigra and red nucleus between the side of onset and contralateral side in PD patients. Results Compared to normal controls, MTRasym(3.5 ppm) values of substantia nigra significantly decreased in PD patients[(0.96±0.35)%vs. (1.20±0.39)%respectively, t=-2.093 P=0.039]. No significant differences in MTRasym (3.5 ppm) values of red nucleus were observed between normal controls and PD patients[(0.97 ± 0.36)% vs. (1.09 ± 0.38)% respectively, t=-1.148, P=0.254]. Significant differences in MTRasym(3.5ppm) values of these cerebral structures were observed among normal controls, early-stage PD and advanced-stage PD [substantia nigra(1.20±0.30)%,(1.09±0.32)%and(0.81±0.37)%respectively, F=3.954, P=0.022;red nucleus(1.09±0.28)%,(1.21±0.35)%and(0.71±0.33)%respectively, F=7.563, P=0.001]. MTRasym(3.5 ppm) in substantia nigra showed a consistently decreasing tendency from normal controls to early-stage PD, to advanced-stage PD. MTRasym(3.5 ppm) values of sides of onset and contralateral sides of substantia nigra and red nucleus in PD patients had no significant statistically difference (substantia nigra(0.93 ± 0.33)% vs.(0.99 ± 0.30)%, t=-0.660, P=0.515; red nucleus(1.01 ± 0.36)% vs.(0.93 ± 0.29)%, t=0.545, P=0.590). Conclusions APT MR imaging can show sensitively the difference of MTRasym (3.5 ppm) in substantia nigra and red nucleus between early PD patients and normal controls, Thus, APT is a useful tool to diagnose PD and monitor the disease progression.

Objective To explore the risk factors for patients with massive hemoptysis in tuberculosis and to provide a strategy for clinical treatment for tuberculosis massive hemoptysis (TMH). Methods Chi-square test and multivariate logistics analysis were applied to analyze the medical data of 241 cases of TMH. Results Chi-squared test showed that eleven factors were found to be significantly correlated with TMH. Longer disease course (≥3 months), lung lesions range ≥ 3 lung fields, pulmonary tuberculosis cavity, a higher smoking index (≥400 cigarettes per year) and clinical treatment were risk factors for TMH. Patients aged 45 years or older accompanied with bronchiectasia, pulmonary fungal infection, diabetes or hepatopathy had higher probabilities of developing massive hemoptysis. Multivariate analysis showed lung lesions range over 3 lung fields (OR = 2.447,P = 0.015), pulmonary tuberculosis cavity (OR = 2.486, P = 0.004), bronchial asthma (OR =3.192,P = 0.002), pulmonary fungal infection (OR = 3.896, P = 0.005) and hepatopathy (OR = 3.101, P =0.006) were final risk factors for TMH. Conclusion Multiple factors contributed to patients with massive hemoptysis in tuberculosis. Lung lesions range over 3 lung fields, pulmonary tuberculous cavities, bronchial asthma, lung fungal infection and hepatopathy might be the independent risk factors for TMH.

Objective To discuss the clinical values of two-dimensional and three-dimensional diagnoses of nontraumatic esophageal hiatal hernia (HH) in middle-aged and elderly people. Methods Thirty-two cases underwent two-dimensional and three-dimensional ultrasonic examination with fasting and water iflling methods in half-sitting, standing, supine and supine right anterior oblique positions. The ifndings were compared with X-ray barium meal examination, endoscopy and operation. Results There were 27 cases sliding HH, 3 cases paraesophageal HH and 2 cases short HH. Traditional two-dimensional manifestations were as follows:widening of hiatal diaphragmatic muscles (1.6±0.4 cm) and echoes of gastric mucosa in superior hernial sac and inside hernial sac. Real-time three-dimensional surface image formations were as follows: along the long axis of diaphragmatic hiatus, superior phrenic sac was showed as mushroom-shaped or pond-shaped and the neck of hernial sac was showed as irregular tunnel-shaped or ditch-shaped;looking upward from the fundus of stomach, superior phrenic hiatus was showed as caved-shaped or louver-shaped;looking downward from mediastinal surface of lung, uperior phrenic hiatus was showed as piercer-shaped. Conclusions Two-dimensional abdominal ultrasound can diagnose nontraumatic HH in middle-aged and elderly people conveniently and accurately. Real-time three-dimensional abdominal ultrasound can display the range, size, and shape clearly. Compared with the former, the latter can provide more information for diagnosis and help ultrsound doctors and clinical doctors to understand and master the anatomical and morphopathological features of this disease.
