Objective To investigate the present situation of water benzo (a) pyrene contamination in China and to make an ecological risk assessment. Methods B(a)P, one of the 16 prior-controlled polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons pollutants selected by US EPA, is used to reflect the potential risk of PAHs, a strong carcinogen. Since the content of B(a)P in water is rather low, the contamination levels in the sediment of domestic water environment are assessed with two ecological assessment standards: risk assessment guidelines of chemical concentrations in marine and estuary sediments and sediment quality guidelines for the protection of aquatic life and probable effects levels for adverse biological effects. Results The contents of B(a)P were 0.06-707.12 ng/g in sediment of rivers and lakes, 7.1-1 492.12 ng/g in surface sediment of seaports, marines, and tidal flats respectively. Conclusion Domestic water environment is generally suffered from B(a)P contamination, but still under the adverse effect level.

The pathological changes of high intensity focused ultrasound(HIFU) for organ ablation involve three periods:acute stage,subacute stage and chronic phase.The pathological characteristics include hyperemia,edema,and coagulative necrosis of tissues,tissue proliferation,recovery,the infiltration of fibroblast and formation of scar tissue.This paper introduced the bioactive mechanism of HIFU,effects of HIFU on human and animals,indicating HIFU technique can damage target organs and tissues of human and experimental animals,which has specific biological effect.And it has great potentials to treat benign and malignant tumor and chronic pain.

AIM:To study the effect of fractalkine(CX3CL1,Fkn) on the expression and secretion of matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP-2) in cultured human monocyte line U937 cells.METHODS:The cultured U937 cells were incubated with recombinant human Fkn,the supernatant of human renal mesangial cells(HRMC) and Fkn neutralizing antibodies for 24 h.The mRNA expression of MMP-2 was analyzed by RT-PCR.The production of MMP-2 in the supernatant was analyzed by gelatin zymography.RESULTS:The level of MMP-2 mRNA and protein in the cells incubated with recombinant human Fkn decreased compared to control group.Similarly,the level of MMP-2 mRNA in the cells incubated with the supernatant of HRMC reduced compared to control group.However,the level of MMP-2 mRNA and protein in the cells incubated with the supernatant of HRMC adding Fkn neutralizing antibodies increased compared to that incubated with the supernatant of HRMC.CONCLUSION:Fkn inhibits the expression and secretion of MMP-2 in cultured U937 cells.HRMC might mediate the expression and secretion of MMP-2 in U937 cells through Fkn.

Objective To explore the effect of ulinastatin on coagulation function of elderly patients after hip replacement.MethodsTotally 120 patients undergoing elective hip replacement in our hospital were chosen.According to the stratified randomization method, all patients were divided into observation group and control group with 60 in each.The control group received oral Xarelto combined with other conventional treatment, while the observation group received ulinastatin on the basis of the treatment regimen of the control group.The coagulation parameters and clinical manifestations were compared between two groups.ResultsTwo days after operation, the TT, APTT, PT, DD and FIB between the two groups showed statistically significant difference (t=-5.300,-2.319,-2.409,-2.325,-3.567;P<0.05).The hospital stay,CRP,TXB2 and total drainage volume in observation group 5d after operation were lower than those in control group, between the two groups showed statistically significant difference (t=-2.529,-2.082,-3.388,-2.887;P<0.05).The patients with elevated blood urea and serum creatinine in observation group were obviously less than that of control group, but the patients with nausea in observation group were obviously higher than those in control group,between the two groups showed statistically significant difference (χ2=5.217,5.926,8.571;P<0.05).The patients with deep vein thrombosis in observation group were obviously higher than those in control group,between the two groups showed statistically significant difference (χ2=8.571, P<0.05).ConclusionUlinastatin can significantly improve the hypercoagulable state of patients after hip replacement and reduce the incidence of deep vein thrombosis, and plays an important role in promoting wound healing and immunity recovery.

Objective To investigate the ischemic preconditioning time for inducing rat brain ischemia tolerance.Methods Procerebrum ischemic preconditioning injury was caused by occlusion of two-side common carotid artery for 10 minutes or 20 minutes,and subsequent cerebral ischemic injury was caused by occlusion of middle cerebral artery for 2 hours after 72 hours of reperfusion.The percentage of brain infarct size was calculated for the investigation of the proper ischemic preconditioning time for rat brain ischemia tolerance.Results Ischemic preconditionaing for 10 minutes and 20 minutes can reduce the percentage of brain infarct size significantly.The difference of the percentage of brain infarct size between 10-minute preconditioning group and 20-minute preconditioning group is insignificant,but the mean percentage of brain infarct size in 10-minute preconditioning group is less than that in 20-minute preconditioning group.Conclusion Ten minutes are the suitable time of ischemic preconditioning for rat brain ischemia tolerance.

Objective To explore the correlation of the operation effects of the miorovascular decompression(MVD) and the findings on magnetic resonance tomographic angiography(MRTA) in patients of neurovascular compression of the cranial nerves.Methods Two hundred and twenty three patients treated with the microvascular decompression were analyzed retrospectively.They were grouped and graded according to the vessel compression on the cranial nerves.The compression were grouped as none, moderate and severe, and the operation effects were graded as Ⅰ ( complete relief), Ⅱ ( partial relief) and Ⅲ ( no relief).The operation effects grades were correlated according to the compression groups by Kruskal-Wallis test and the operation effects between each two of the groups were compared using Nemenyi test.P < 0.05 was defined as statistic significant.Results Of the 53 cases of non-compression group, 31 cases were graded as Ⅰ , 13 cases were graded as Ⅱ and 9 cases were graded as Ⅲ, according to the operation-effects of the decompression.Of the 110 cases of moderate group,95 cases were grade as Ⅰ , 11 cases were graded as Ⅱ and 4 cases were graded as Ⅲ.Of the 60 cases of severe group, 48 cases were graded as Ⅰ, 7 cases were graded as Ⅱ and 5 cases were graded as Ⅲ.There were statistic significance among the three groups,where χ2= 16.84 and P <0.05.The mean rank of the non-compression, the moderate and the severe group was 134.21,102.37 and 110.4 ,respectively.The difference of the mean ranks between the non-compression group and the moderate group was 31.84, and between the non-compression and the severe group was 24.17, respectively, where P < 0.05 both.Conclusions There was close relationship between the findings on magnetic resonance tomographic angiography and the operation effects of the MVD.The operation effects of patients with moderate and severe vessel compression were much better than the non-compression group.MRTA is helpful for MVD surgical indication and its prognosis.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the curative effect difference between Tong's anterior mesh suspension and modified tension-free vaginal tape-obturator (TVT-O). Methods75 SUI cases were random divided into two groups: Group A (35 cases) were accepted Tong's anterior mesh suspension and group B (40cases) were accepted modified tension-free vaginal tape- obturator. Curative effects, operation safety,and complications and so on, were recorded and compared. ResultsThere had no statistical differences between these two groups on operation time, bleeding lose, operation injury, immediate postoperative urinary retention andcure rates, but the operation expense of group A was cheaper than group B [ (980. 74 ±212.45)yuan vs (2879.06 ±467. 13)yuan , P ＜0.05). ConclusionThe curative effect between two methods were similar. It's a little complicated and fit to be popularized in large hospital to modified tensionfree vaginal tape-obturator. Tong's anterior mesh suspension was performed under completely direct vision,not through pelvic cavity, and it was an economic, convenient and easy way, which not only fit to be popularized in basic hospital, but also a surgical remedial measure to the failures who accepted these operations,such as TVT, SPARC, IVS, MONARC, TOT, TVT-O, etc.
