Oceanic carbon monoxide(CO) has been of biogeochemical interest due to its significant role in global carbon cycle and the greenhouse effect. A headspace method coupled with ta3000 trace gas analyzer system for the determination of CO in seawater was developed. The effects of temperature, equilibrium time and water/gas volume ratio on the sensitivity of headspace analysis were studied in detail. The results showed that CO concentrations in seawater were measured successfully by the 50-mL glass-only syringes with a water/gas volume ratio of 44∶ 6 and an equilibrium time of 5 min at 20 ℃ room temperature. Under the optimized conditions, the linear range of concentrations of CO was 0-2.7×10~(-6), r=0.999,p<0.0001. The relative standard deviation of the analysis method was <4.4%, with a detection limit of 0.02 nmol/L. The average recovery of CO was 90.5%. The concentrations of CO in surface waters of the North Yellow Sea were measured using this method and ranged from 0.20 nmol/L to 3.13 nmol/L, indicating that this method can be successfully applied to the detection of the in situ CO concentrations in seawater.

Objective To investigate the current status of nurses′ work performance and job involvement, and to analyze the impact of nurses′job involvement on work performance. Methods Self-made questionnaires were used to investigate 309 nurses in a 3A military hospital in Beijing. The military hospital is in a high standardization level, which may be properly representative of both military hospitals and 3A hospitals. Results The total score of nurses′work performance was 192.04 ± 31.25. The total score of nurses′ job involvement was 55.48 ± 9.94. The multiple regression analysis showed that the nurses′ work performance would be influenced by staff type, vigor and absorption. Conclusions The nurses′work performance and job involvement were at a high level. Managers should take methods to keep a high level of nurses′job involvement, which may improve work performance.

Objective To investigate the influence of zoledronic acid injection on body temperature of patients with primary osteoporosis.Methods A total of 142 patients with primary osteoporosis who received intravenous zoledronic acid treatment in Peking university people's hospital during 2013-2014 were enrolled in this study.The body temperature before and after intravenous zoledronic acid treatment were recorded and analyzed with SPSS 17.0 software.Results The patients'body temperature at different time points after intravenous zoledronic acid treatment was significantly different (P =0.000).Prophylactic use of NSAIDs could significantly reduce patients' body temperature at the second day after intravenous zoledronic acid.Conclusion NSAIDs can be given orally on the same day of intravenous injection of zoledronic acid,and continued for three days.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the characteristics and related factors of drug-induced hyperkalemia,present preven-tive measures and provide reference for the rational drug use. METHODS:46 literatures of individual cases and group cases of drug-induced hyperkalemia publicly reported in domestic medical journals from 1979 to 2014 were collected and analyzed statistical-ly,including 66 cases. RESULTS:66 cases with drug-induced hyperkalemia were mainly involved in cardiovascular drugs and im-munosuppressants. Most of them were improved after drug withdrawal and symptomatic treatment,and 2 cases died. CONCLU-SIONS:Drug-induced hyperkalemia are potentially dangerous. It is necessary to be vigilant,prevent and control timely and reduce the incidence of severe adverse reactions.

Objective To evaluate the effect of three different choices of indwelling urethral catheter clamping. Indwelling urethral catheter clamping choices included according to patients′complaints to clamp the catheter (Group A), released as schedule (Group B),and smooth passway of indwelling urinary catheter all the way (Group C). Methods We searched RCT about the effect of different choices of indwelling urethral catheter clamping from CNKI, VIP database,Wanfang database, PubMed on line. Literatures were searched from the database had been established till now. Two reviewers evaluate the literatures independently according to the RCT authentic assessment manual of Cochrane Collaboration. Other than different results, negotiation took as the measure to attach an agreement. No agreement reached, consult the opinion of the third person. RevMan5.2 was used to analyses the result of the study. Results Statistical difference between three clamping choice on the rate of successful in autonomous urination after catheter removed: both group A and group B preceded group C (Z=2.97, Z=4.34, P < 0.05), mean well group A preceded group B (Z=5.30, P < 0.05). Statistical difference did not found on the rate of urinary tract irritation after catheter removed between three choices. Conclusion Clamping indwelling urethral catheter according to patients′ complaints seems useful in bladder reconditioning before indwelling urethral catheter removal.

Objective To investigate the effect of surround needling at articular six meridians plus finger (toe) tip bloodletting therapy on sciatic nerve conduction velocity and lower limb microcirculatory flow in diabetic rats. Method The model was made with streptozotocin. The rats were allocated to model, methycobal, acupuncture and normal groups. The methycobal group received a muscular injection of 50 ?g/kg in the left and right lower limbs alternately, every other day. The acupuncture group received acupuncture at points Taixi(KI3), Kunlun(BL60) and Jiexi(ST41), once daily plus toe tip bloodletting. The normal and model groups were bound 30 min once every other day. Every group was treated for eight weeks. General condition was observed, and sciatic nerve conduction velocity and lower limb microcirculatory flow were measured in the rats before and after treatment. Result Compared with the normal group, sciatic nerve conduction velocity decreased in the other groups of rats (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, sciatic nerve conduction velocity was higher in every treatment group of rats (P<0.05). Conclusion Surround needling at articular six meridians plus finger (toe) tip bloodletting therapy can increase sciatic nerve conduction velocity and improve lower limb microcirculation.

Objective To evaluate the value of real-time three-dimensional echocardiography(RT3DE)to predict the long-term response to cardiac resynchronization therapy(CRT).Methods Twenty-six patients with heart failure were scheduled for CRT.RT3DE was performed before and one year after the pacemaker implantation,and left ventricular(LV)dyssynchrony was defined as the maximum difference(Tmsv 16-Dif)and standard deviation(Tmsv 16-SD)when the minimum systolic volume of 16 segments was reached.Patients were divided into re-sponders and non-responders according to a reduction ≥15 % in LV end-systolic volume(LVESV)after CRT.Results Seventeen patients(65.4 %)were classified as responders.Compared with non-responders,the responders demonstrated a significant increase in LV ejection fraction,and reduction in Tmsv 16-SD.Tmsv 16-SD was a determinant factor for Δ LVESV ≥15%.Tmsv 16-SD 〉3.5% could be employed to evaluate the short-term response to CRT with 80 % sensitivity and 77 % specificity.Conclusions CRT can increase the LV systolic function and synchrony.RT3DE is highly predictive for long-term response to CRT

Objective To evaluate the left ventricular (LV) systolic dyssynchrony after the acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (STE). Methods STE were performed in 65 patients within 72 h of AMI and compared with 60 age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers. The peak longitudinal strain (LS_(peak)) was measured at LV myocardium. LV dyssynchrony was defined as an interval ≥130 ms for the absolute difference in time to peak radial strain for the anteroseptal wall versus the posterior wall (TAS-POST). Size of myocardial infarction (MIS)was confirmed by wall-motion score index (WMSI). Results The LS_(peak) and LV ejection fraction (LVEF) were lower, and WMSI and TAS-POST were larger in AMI patients compared with controls. Forty-two patients had developed LV dyssynchrony (64.62%), and there were strong correlation between LV dyssynchrony (TAS-POST) and LS_(peak), LVEF, and WMSI (MIS). MIS was the most independent predictor for systolic dyssynchrony. Conclusion AMI with normal QRS can induce LV dyssynchrony, which is mainly determined by MIS. STE is a reliable technique for accurate evaluation of LV synchrony.
