Objective In acidity condition, arsenic and mercury can react on newly produced H2 to produce hydride which can be detected by atomic fluorescence spectrometry. The goal of the present paper is to establish a method to determine arsenic and mercury of the water at one time. Methods A quantitative method for determination by hydride generation-atomic fluorescence spectrometry was used .The electric current of the arsenic and mercury lamp were all 80 mA. The ratio of main arsenic electric current with the assist one was 50:30. 1% KBH4 of 0.2% NaOH solution were used as the reducers. Results The linear range of the arsenic was 0-10 ?g/L with correlation coefficient r=0.999 9. The RSDs and recovery rates of the arsenic were 2.0%-5.3% and 84%-113% respectively. The mercury showed a good linear result in the range of 0-5 ?g/L either, and the correlation coefficient was 0.999 3. The RSDs and recovery rates of the method were 1.9%-5.7% and 84%-107% respectively. Conclusion This method is simple, rapid, sensitive and accurate. It can determine arsenic and mercury in water at one time.

BACKGROUND:Hematopoietic stem cel transplantation is a promising treatment for a variety of malignant and nonmalignant disorders. But noninfectious pulmonary complications folowing hematopoietic stem cel transplantation are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in these patients. And the diagnosis and treatment are difficult. OBJECTIVE: To review the noninfectious pulmonary complications after hematopoietic stem cel transplantation in terms of onset time, risk factors, clinical manifestations, characteristics of the high-resolution CT, histopathological measurement, related genes and treatment options. METHODS: A computer-based search of VIP, PubMed and Sciencedirect databases was performed for articles related to noninfectious pulmonary compli cations after hematopoietic stem cel transplantation published from January 2005 to October 2014. The key words were “HSCT, pulmonary complications, non-infectious, pirfenidone” in Chinese and English in the title and abstract. Finaly, 31 articles were included in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The incidence of noninfectious pulmonary complications after hematopoietic stem cel transplantation has become more and more, with atypical clinical manifestations and limited diagnosis and treatments. According to the different clinical onset time, diagnostic criteria, clinical manifestations and the appropriate laboratory tests, clinicians can make early diagnosis and early intervention. Especialy, the usage of high-resolution chest CT and bronchofiberscope for bronchoalveolar lavage as wel as the timely drug administration can improve the survival rate of patients with noninfectious pulmonary complications after hematopoietic stem cel transplantation.

The current situation of the rise in medical expenses is shown through statistics and the causes of the rise are analyzed. These include: ①inevitability of development, such as changes in the spectrum of diseases, use of new technologies and materials, rise in the overall price index, and generally increased needs for medical care; ②restriction of social factors, such as the imperfect medical insurance system, the reduced proportion of input by the government, the irrational medical pricing and compensation, the fictitiously high pricing of drugs and health materials, and the hospital's excessively high operational costs; ③the boosting effect of the "supporting medicine with drugs" policy. Countermeasures are put forward for the government's price control and financial organs, the departments of health administration, and the hospitals.

Objective To summarize complications of knee arthroscopic surgery and the prevention and treatment for the complications. Methods A review of 679 knee arthroscopic operations in 658 patients from March 1997 to March 2002 was carried out. Results The incidence of all complications was 6.8% (46 of 679). Incidences of hemarthrosis, superficial infection, fibroarthrosis, tourniquet paresis, instrument breakage and accidental damage were 2.7% (8 of 679), 0.4%(3 of 679), 1.5%(10 of 679), 0.6%(4 of 679), 1.2% (8 of 679) and 0.4% (3 of 679), respectively. No popliteal vessel injury, intra-articular infection, neurological injury, deep venous thrombosis or compartment syndrome occurred in this group. Conclusions The incidence of complications of knee arthroscopy is relatively low. Most of them are mild and curable, if prompt treatment is given.

Shasheng is a common Chinese drug used as antitussive and expectorant. A survey showed that the original plants of Shasheng on the current market consist of more than 30 species. To appraise the qualities of Saasheng scientifically, the antitussive .and expectorant activities of ten species of Shasheng were compared. Rosults showed that the EtOH extracts of the roots of Glehnta littoralis, Adenophora stricta subsp. henanica, A. potaninii and A .liliifolioides are very effective as autitussive,while those of A .liliijoliolioides,A.stricta subsp. sessilifolia and A. potaninii are very effective as expectorant.

Objective To investigate the technique and efficacy of arthroscopic internal fixation of avulsion fracture of the anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) from the tibial eminence with stainless steel wire guided by meniscal stitching needle.Methods Fifteen cases of avulsion fracture of the ACL from the tibial eminence were treated by arthroscopic internal fixation with stainless steel wire guided by meniscal stitching needle from December 1999 to August 2005.The Lysholm scoring scale system was used to evaluate knee functions before and after surgery.Regular X-ray plain films at AP and lateral views were conducted to detect the bony healing of avulsed fragments.Results The operation was completed within 30 min.No complications of intraarticular infection,iatrogenic injury,fibroarthritis,or non-union of fracture were found.The 15 cases were followed for 6～54 months(mean,20.9?15.0 months).X-ray films revealed good bone union in all the 15 cases.The Lysholm scores were improved from 19.1?15.2(range,10～56) preoperatively to 97.5?3.7(range,91～100) postoperatively,with significant statistical difference by the student-t test(t=18.483,P=0.000).Wire breakage was found in 2 cases at 8 and 14 months after operation,respectively.But the bone union in the 2 cases was not affected.Conclusions Arthroscopic internal fixation with stainless steel wire guided by meniscal stitching needle in the treatment of avulsion fracture of the anterior cruciate ligament from the tibial eminence has advantages of simplicity,broad indications(from type Ⅱ to Ⅳ injuries),minimal invasion,and rapid postoperative recovery.

Objective To compare the scale of the spinal bones removed by microendoscopic discectomy (MED) and interlaminal fenestration approach discectomy (IFAD),and their postoperative influence on the lumber degeneration in patients with lumber disc herniation.Methods Totally 76 cases of MED and 80 cases of IFAD were enrolled in this study.The scale of the spinal bones resected were compared by measuring the width and height of the bone window,as well as the percentages of the removed superior and inferior articular processes by using X-ray.To compare the efficacy of the two procedures,Nakai criteria was employed. The height and angle of intervertebral space and intervertebral displacement were detected preoperation,and then were followed up after the surgery.Results Both the width and height of the bone window and the percentages of the removed superior and inferior articular processes of the MED group was significantly less than those in the IFAD group (P=0.000);whereas,no marked difference was found in the scale of disc removal between the two group[(1.75?0.58) g vs (1.95?0.77)g,t=-1.825,P=0.070].The outcomes of the two group was similar,the rate of excellent and good outcomes of the MED and IFAD groups were 86.8% and 88.8%, respectively (Z=-0.184,P=0.854).In the MED group,the intervertebral space was reduced by 30%?18%,which were similar to that in the IFAD group 34%?15%(t=-1.246,P=0.215);3 cases of the MED group and 5 of the IFAD group had intervertebral instability after the surgery (x~2=0.425,P=0.515).Conclusions Both MED and IFAD are effective for lumbar disc herniation.However,MED shoud be the first choice for the disease,because the procedure causes less trauma.
