To provide the human being with safe drinking water is one of the most important issues in public health. In response to the more and more serious pollution of algal toxins, growing concern has been attached to the water bodies contaminated with algal toxins and the effects posed on human health. Drinking water suppliers are confronted with the important problem of how to remove the toxins to the acceptable levels. Conventional water treatment procedures are not efficient in removing toxins. Activated carbon adsorption, membrane filtration, photocatalic process, ozonation and chlorination are effective in removing cyanobacterial toxins, but each has its limitation.

Liver and gastrointestinal tumors greatly threaten human health and have poor therapeutic outcomes and prognosis.Tumor necrosis factor -alpha -induced protein 8 -like 2 (TIPE2)can negatively regulate innate immunity and adaptive immunity and maintain immune ho-meostasis.Recent studies have found that TIPE2 can affect various signaling pathways and thus exerts an inhibitory effect on the development and progression of tumors.This article briefly introduces the structure and function of TIPE2 and its regulatory effect on tumor -related sig-naling pathways such as Ras,Ral,and Rac and downstream molecules,as well as the role of TIPE2 in liver and gastrointestinal tumors,re-lated signaling pathways,and research advances.

Objective:To explore the effective way of cultivating the operating room nurses′humanistic quality by using the morning shift and to improve operating room nurses′comprehensive quality .Methods:The operating room nurses were divided into five specialist groups according to the nurses′levels, helping each group to determine the training topic of humanistic quality training , via taking a variety of training methods to promote operating room nurses′humanistic quality by making good use of the morning shift time .Results: Through taking a variety of training methods to promote the operating room nurses′humanistic quality by making good use of the morning shift time, the operating room nurses′humanistic care ability , theoretical knowledge , professional skills were improved significantly(P<0.05),and the operating rooms doctors, surgical patients′satisfaction of operating room nurses′service were improved ( P<0 .05 ) .Conclusion:Making good use of the morning shift time to improve the nurses′humanistic quality , at the same time , the nursing service quality and patients satisfaction were also improved .

To explore the therapeutic efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave (ESW) for persistent heel pain.A total of 98 patients of persistent heel pain were randomly divided into ESW treatment and control groups (n =49 each).Treatment group had ESW while control group received infrared physical therapy.And their visual analogue scale (VAS) scores were assessed.After one course of treatment, VAS heel pain and function scores were (39.6 ± 6.2) and (25.1 ± 4.6) in ESW group versus (32.3 ± 6.5) and (17.4 ±7.2) in control group.And before treatment, (16.5 ±4.6) and (14.4 ±8.6), (16.1 ±4.7) and (14.6 ± 8.4) respectively.Heel pain significantly decreased with functional improvement (all P ＜ 0.05).After one course, the effective rate was 65％ (32/49) in treatment group.And the improvement rate of 31％ (15/49) was better than control group [27％ (13/49) and 63％ (31/49)] (all P ＜ 0.05).ESW treatment of persistent heel pain was more efficacious than physical therapy and it could be applied clinically.

Sino 0.5 or 2 mg/kg iv reduced significantly heart rate ( HR), systolic blood pressure ( SBP ), diastolic blood pressure ( DBP ), left ventricular systolic pressure ( LVSP) , dP/dtmax, cardiac index ( CI ) and total peripheral resistance ( TPR ) . VCE- + dP/dtmax was unchanged. T value did't change in 0 .5mg/kg, but it elevated in 2 mg/kg.

Objective To investigate the significance of cortactin in primary liver cancer. Methods Fiftythree paraffin embedded primary liver cancer specimens were collected at General Hospital of Air Force of PLA from January 2002 to May 2008. The expression of cortactin was detected by immunohistochemistry, and the relationship between cortactin expression and clinicopathologic parameters was analyzed. All data were analyzed via Wilcoxon rank sum test and Spearman rank correlation analysis. Results There was a significant difference in cortactin expression among tumor capsule integrity, TNM staging, portal vein tumor thrombus and extrahepatic metastasis (u =2. 19, 3. 584, 2. 796, P ＜ 0.05 ). There was a positive correlation between tumor invasion and cortactin expression ( r = 0. 5794, P ＜ 0.05 ). Conclusions Overexpression of cortactin may be one of the factors enhancing the invasion of primary liver cancer. The level of cortactin expression can be used in evaluating the invasive potential of primary liver cancer.

Purpose To study the clinic-pathological features, differential diagnosis and prognosis of extragastrointestinal stromal tumor ( EGIST) arising in the vulva and the rectovaginal septum. Methods Clinical manifestations, pathological features, immunohisto-chemistry, gene mutations, treatment and prognosis were analyzed in 1 case of EGIST arising in the vulva and 2 cases of EGIST arising in the rectovaginal septum with review of related literature. Results Case 1 was a 59-years-old woman who was found to have a 4. 4 cm × 3 cm × 3 cm recurrent mass in the right vulva after 6 months of the first resection. Case 2 was a 58-years-old woman who presen-ted with a 7. 3 cm × 6. 1 cm × 4. 6 cm mass in the rectovaginal septum. Case 3 was a 41-year-old woman who presented with an 8. 6 cm × 7. 4 cm × 6. 7 cm mass in the rectovaginal septum. Histologically, the uniform spindle cells showed the interlacing fascicular, whirl-pool and palisade patterns with high cellular density. Mitotic figures were readily identified. Immunohistochemical evaluation revealed that the tumor cells exhibited strong and diffuse staining for CD117, CD34, NES, H-Caldesmon and DOG-1. Molecular analysis showed the gene mutation of c-Kit exon 11 in all 3 cases. Conclusion EGIST should be considered in the differential diagnosis of the mesenchymal tumors arising in the vulva and the rectovaginal septum. The immunohistochemical evaluation and molecular genetic tes-ting are crucial tools for the differential diagnosis and assessment of the prognosis and targeted therapy of EGIST.

Objective To study the clinical features,diagnosis and management of small cell carcinoma of the bladder (SCCB).Method The clinical data of 18 cases of patients with small cell carcinoma of the bladder were analyzed retrospectively and the literature were reviewed.There were 16 males and 2 females,ages 54 to 81 years (median age,61 years).Clinical manifestations included gross hematuria in 11 cases,urgency in 2 cases,dysuria in 2 cases and postoperative review after TURBT of bladder urothelial carcinoma in 3 cases.The median tumor size was 3.35cm (ranged,1.0 to 6.0 cm).2 cases underwent TURBT and intravesical chemotherapy regularly were followed after surgery.3 cases underwent partial cystectomy,intravenous chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy was followed in one case,the other 2 cases refused the following therapy.13 cases underwent radical cystectomy,intravenous chemotherapy was followed in 2 cases,pelvic radiotherapy was followed in 2 csaes and intravenous chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy was followed in 2 cases,the other 7 cases refused the following therapy.Results 11 cases were pure SCCB,7 cases were mixed SCCB,all with urothelial carcinoma.T1N0M0 in 3 cases,T2N0.1M0 in 4 cases,and T3N0-2M0 in 11 cases.The duration of follow-up was from 5 to 35 months after surgery.9 cases died of tumor metastasis,9 cases are still alive,except 1 case with lymph node metastasis,the other 7 cases are free of tumor recurrence or metastasis.Conclusions SCCB is rare,with high malignant degree and poor prognosis.The prognosis of the pure SCCB may be worse than the mixed SCCB.The diagnosis depends on pathology examination.Radical cystectomy is the main treatment method,the strategy of bladder-preserving may be an attempt for proper SCCB patients.Adjuvant therapy plus surgery may be better.
