Objective To study the efficacy and toxicity of tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium sulfate(THPS)in indoor air disinfection.Methods The orthogonal experiments were employed with three factors including concentration of THPS,temperature and time,and four levels including the concentrations of THPS,0.05%,0.1%,0.5%,1%,and the temperature,15℃,20℃,25℃,30℃,and the time,2 h,4 h,8 h,16 h.The germicidal effect of THPS with those factors was assessed.Using modified method,Daphnia magna straus(Cladocera crustacea),Brachydanio rerio,mice were randomly divided into 5 dose groups and a control respectively.For Daphnia magna straus(Cladocera crustacea),123.03 mg/L,134.90 mg/L,147.91 mg/L,162.18 mg/L and 177.83 mg/L,for Brachydanio rerio,42.66 mg/L,57.54 mg/L,77.62 mg/L,104.71 mg/L and 140.90 mg/L,for mice,183.60 mg/kg,293.75 mg/kg,470.00 mg/kg,752.00 mg/kg and 1 203.20 mg/kg.The data for 2th,4th and 7th day of treatment were collected for calculation of the 48h-EC50,the 96h-LC50 and the acute oral LD50 in Daphnia magna straus(Cladocera crustacea),Brachydanio rerio and mice.Results The maximal germicidal rate of THPS in indoor air was over 86%.At the concentration of 0.5% THPS,4 h reaction time,germicidal efficacy of THPS was optimal.The toxicity test indicated that the acute oral LD50 for mice was 492.72 mg/kg,the 48 h-EC50 for Daphnia magna straus(Cladocera crustacea)was 143.61 mg/L,the 96h-LC50 for Brachydanio rerio was 84.17mg/L.Conclusion The toxicity of THPS is low and can be used for indoor air disinfection with a good efficacy and the potential benefit for environment.

Objective To cultivate human retinal capillary endothelial cells (HRECs) and establish two-dimensional model of human retinal vessels in vitro. Methods In a fibronectin-coated raising pound, HRECs were cultured by non-serum human-endothelial-cells substrate and two-dimensional model of human retinal vessels was established. Horseradish peroxidase was used to detect the permeability. Some of the vascular models were cultivated with 5 ng/ml vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), whose changes of permeability was compared with which of the models without cultivation with VEGF. The effect of VEGF on vascular permeability was observed. Results Meshy vascular structure came into being due to the confluent HRECs after 2 to 4 days. Comparatively complete two-dimensional vascular model after about 6 days. VEGF increased vascular permeability and promoted the formation of blood vessels. Conclusion HRECs can be cultivated successfully with human-endothelial-cells substrate; standard retinal two-dimensional vascular model in vitro can be established by using cellular raising pound and non-serum human-endothelial-cells substrate.

AIM To study the thrombolytic effect of non hemorrhagic fibrinolytic enzyme from Agkistrodon acutus venom on animal thrombosis. METHODS By means of pulmonary embolism,arterial thrombosis model in rabbits and venous thrombosis model in rats. The non hemorrhagic fibrinolytic enzyme from Agkistrodon acutus was given by intravenous injection at 0 14, 0 7, 1.4 mg?kg -1 three different doses respectively. Normal saline was used as negative control and thrombolytic effects was observed. RESULTS It was showed that moist weights of arterial thrombosis, venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism were markedly lightened and has statistical significance compared with normal saline ( P

Objective To investigate the level of depression in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods Fifty six in patients and out patients with SLE were investigated with questionnaire of self rating depressive scale (SDS).Results Of these patients 41% had clinical features of depression.Tiredness,hebetude,hyposexuality,despair,irritability,depression,thinking difficulty,insommia,uneasiness and vacancy were more common.Most of these patients are manual worker,poorly educated ( P 0 05).Conclusion Patients with SLE have symptoms of depression to a certain extent.Doctors should pay close attention to their mentality and emotion in diagnosis and treatment of the prtients with SLE.

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between liver stiffness and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk in chronic heptatitis B patients with negative α-fetoprotein (AFP) tests. MethodsFrom September 2012 to August 2014, this study enrolled a total of 82 HBV-relative native HCC patients as the case group. During the same period, a total of 253 chronic hepatitis B patients were also include in this study as the control group. These 253 patients were followed up for six months. All of the two groups were AFP-negative. Liver stiffness was measured in all patients by transient elastography device Fibroscan?. Logistic regression was applied to assess the risk of HCC incidence, and stratum-specific likelihood ratios (SSLR) was calculated.ResultsThe age, liver stiffness measurements and plasma albumin of patients in case group were 53 years old (44-61), 12.00 kPa (7.50-20.75), 43.14 g/L (39.50-46.75) respectively. The age, liver stiffness measurements and plasma albumin of patients in control group were 45 years old (38-56), 8.40 kPa (5.40-13.50), 46.40 g/L (43.75-48.50) respectively. The variables were compared between two groups with unpaired studentt test, and the results were statistically significant (t=4.33, 3.56,
-4.48,P=0.00, 0.00, 0.00). The patients in case group were older, and had higher liver stiffness measurements and lower plasma albumin than that of the patients in control group. Logistic regression analysis showed that HCC incidence was associated with age,male-gender and liver stiffness, and the odds ratios (OR) was 1.053, 2.432, 6.803 respectively. When liver stiffness was<10 kPa, 10.1-15 kPa, 15.1-25 kPa,>25 kPa, SSLR for HCC presence was 0.67, 1.02,1.44, 3.98 respectively.ConclusionsLiver stiffness measured by transient elastography is useful in predicting the risk of HCC incidence in AFP-negative chronic heptatitis B patients. Clinicians needed to carry out close follow-up and appropriate intervention for these patients.
