Objective To improve the digestion method of sewage samples for determing mercury with cold atomic absorption spectrometry.Methods 1+1 aqua fortis was used in microwave digestion of sewage samples instead of KMnO4-K2S2O8,then mercury was determined by cold atomic absorption spectrometry.Results The linear range was 0-10.0 ?g/L,the detection limit was 0.25 ?g/L,the relative standard deviation was less than 2.7% and the recovery rate was 95.0%-102.0%.It proved that the results by 1∶1 aqua fortis by microwave had high.Conclusion Compared with the KMnO4-K2S2O8 digestion method,microwave digestion method is simple,sensitive and suitable for determination of heavy metals in the environmental samples.

Objective To study the application of pressure regulated volume control ventilation in respiratory support after liver transplantation.Methods Twenty patients underwent liver transplantation were randomly averagely divided into two groups: pressure regulated vlume control ventilation(PRVCV) group and volume control(VC) group.The parameters of respiratory mechanics,hemodynamics and blood gas analysis of patients in two groups were compared,such as oxygen delivery(DO2),oxygen consumption(VO2),oxygen incepation ratio(O2ER),arteriovenous oxygen content difference(C(a-v)O2),cardiac output(CO),mean arterial pressure(mABP),mean pulmonary arterial pressure(mPAP),alveolar-arterial PO2 difference(P(A-a)O2),gas exchange index(PaO2/FiO2),ratio of shunted blood to total perfusion(Qs/Qt),peak inspiratory pressure(PIP) and mean airway pressure(mAP).Results The P(A-a)O2 and Qs/Qt were significantly decreased in PRVCV group than those in VC group(P(A-a)O2:(101.42?28.07) mm Hg vs.(136.76?39.13) mm Hg;Qs/Qt:(1.78?0.86)% vs.(3.28?0.99)%),P

Objective To obtain a more accurate assessment of prognostic significance of NLR in ovarian cancer. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted using the electronic databases PubMed ,Web of Science,and Embase up to May 2016. Hazard ratio(HR)and odds ratio(OR)with 95% confidence interval (95%CI)were calculated. Statistical analysis was performed using Stata 12.0. Results 12 studies,consisting of 3 ,854 patients ,were selected in this meta-analysis. High NLR level was significantly associated with poorer overall survival(OS)(HR:1.69)and shorter progression free survival(PFS)(HR 1.63). Additionally,increased NLR was significantly correlated with advanced FIGO stage(OR 2.32),higher level of CA-125(OR 3.33),more extensive ascites(OR 3.54)as well as less chemotheraputic response(OR 0.53). Conclusions Elevated pretreat-ment NLR can serve as a predicative factor of poor prognosis for ovarian cancer.

BACKGROUND: Acute renal insufficiency (ARI) usually occurred following liver transplantation due to the surgical trauma and the application of immunosuppressant, which lack of unified diagnostic criteria. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the experience of diagnosis and treatment of ARI following liver transplantation.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The experiment was performed at the 458 Hospital of Chinese PLA from January 2004 to December 2006.PARTICIPANTS: A total of 37 cases received liver transplantation, including 35 males and 2 females, aged 37-67 years, mean aged (48.5±8.9) years. All cases were divided into the liver cancer group (n=16) and liver cirrhosis group (n=21). The liver cirrhosis group included 16 cases with posthepatitic type B cirrhosis, 4 with posthepatitic type C cirrhosis, and 1 with alcoholic cirrhosis. All these cases were in decompensation stage. The final diagnosis was performed by pathological examination. METHODS: The removal of kidney and construction of blood outflow tract was achieved by modified piggy-back liver transplantation. The arterial blood gas analysis, blood routine examination, renal function and liver function were examined more than twice per day. The cephalosporins, Fluconazole and ganciclovir or vancomycin were used for 5-7 days to prevent infections.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The incidence rate of acute ARI, clinical features and outcomes of patients were observed.RESULTS: ARI developed in 19 patients with liver transplantation, 5 patients died, 14 patients recovered in 2-3 weeks. The incidence of ARI following liver transplantation was associated with infection, bleeding shock, respiratory failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The incidence of ARI following liver transplantation was 51.35%, with 26.32% mortality rate. The early diagnosis and treatment are the key steps for increasing successful rate of ARI treatment following liver transplantation.

Objective:To investigate the application value and treatment opportunity of single balloon enteroscopy in children with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome(PJS).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 33 children diagnosed with PJS in Hunan Children′s Hospital from January 2011 to September 2021.The patient′s age, gender, family history, clinical symptoms, enteroscopy examination and treatment, number of polyps, intraoperative and pos-toperative complications, surgical treatment, recurrence of surgery, and follow-up data were analyzed, and the chi- square test was used for statistical analysis. Results:A total of 33 PJS children aged (9.00±3.13) years, including 21 males and 12 females, were included.All of them received at least once single balloon enteroscopy test.The main manifestations of the children were black spots (33 cases) and multiple polyps in the digestive tract (31 cases). In all the 33 cases, black spots were distributed on lips.Some black spots were also found at the end of fingers (3 cases), at the end of foot toes(2 cases), and at the end of finger toes (6 cases). During the operation, 391 polyps were removed, most of which were jejunum polyps (37.08%, 145/391 polyps). Eleven children with PJS has intussusception, of which intestinal intussusception accounted for 90.91% (10/11 cases). Ten cases (30.30%, 10/33 cases) received surgical treatment, and 72.73% (8/11 cases) underwent surgery for acute refractory intussusception.One case had intestinal perforation and 2 cases were bleeding during the operation, and the 3 cases recovered completely after hemostatic clip sealing and surgical treatment.The incidence of hollow ileum polyps and giant polyps in children aged >8 years was higher than that in children aged ≤8 years[92.55% (149/161 polyps) vs.7.45%(12/161 polyps), 96.20%(76/79 polyps) vs.3.80% (3/79 polyps)]. The differences were statistically significant ( χ2=9.854, 8.711, all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of intussusception among different age groups ( P>0.05). Among the 33 children with PJS, 57.58% (19/33 cases) had recurrence 1-3 years after operation, and no cases of cancer have been followed up so far. Conclusions:Intestinal polyps are common in children with PJS, and the application of single-balloon enteroscopy in children with PJS is reliable and safe.Children over 8 years old are more vulnerable to empty ileum polyps and giant polyps.Therefore, it is advised that children aged above 8 years with PJS should undergo at least once enteroscopy.
