A simple, rapid sensitive and accurate ultra performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometric ( UPLC-MS/MS ) method was developed for the simultaneous determination of 2 , 4 , 6-trinitrophenol, trinitroresorcinate, trinitrophloroglucinol residues in soil. The sample was pretreated by using the modified QuEChERS ( quick, easy, cheap, effective, rigged, and safe ) method that completed the extraction and clean-up steps in one procedure. In this none buffer QuEChERS method, samples were extracted with 1% formic acid ﹢ acetonitrile, cleaned up with primary graphitized carbon black ( GCB) and C18 sorbent, then centrifuged and filtrated before detection. The pretreatment method was simple, rapid and effective and can meet the detection requirements. The UPLC-MS/MS method was performed on Waters Accucore PFP (150 mm× 2. 1 mm, 2. 6 μm) and the column temperature was 30 ℃, the gradient elution with acetonitrile and ammonium acetate as the mobile phase and the flow rate was 0. 3 mL/min. The negative electrospray ionization ( ESI-) source under the multiple reaction monitoring ( MRM ) mode and external standard method were used for quantification. The results showed that the correlation coefficients up to 0. 9942 were obtained across a concentration range of 0. 005-5. 0 mg/L. The limits of detection ( LOD) ranged from 0 . 002 to 0 . 005 mg/kg ( S/N=3 ) . The method was validated with soil samples spiked at three fortification levels (0. 01, 0. 1 and 1 mg/kg) and recoveries were in the range of 79. 3%-94. 8% with relative standard deviations (RSD) of 3. 1%-6. 6%.

METHODS: There were 65 patients ( 82 eyes ) with compound tears nasolacrimal duct obstruction who received lacrimal drainage tubes and stents implantation after laser. The lacrimal duct stents were removed through nasal cavity after 1mo. Lacrimal drainage tubes were removed after 3-6mo. Follow-up periods were 6mo to 1a.
RESULTS: In the 65 patients (82 eyes), 71 eyes were cured, 5 eyes improved, the efficient rate was 93%; there were 6 eyes (7%) with epiphora.
CONCLUSION: Lacrimal duct laser with lacrimal drainage tubes and stents implantation was efficient for complexity dacryagogatresia.

Objective To explore the effects of mirror therapy combined with Tongdu Xingshen acupuncture on the upper extremity function of stroke survivors.Methods Sixty stroke survivors were randomly divided into a mirror group (n =20),an acupuncture group (n =20) and a combined group (n =20).In addition to routine rehabilitation treatment,those in each group received mirror therapy,acupuncture or both for 4 weeks.Before the treatment and after 2 and 4 weeks of treatment,all of the patients were assessed using the Fugl-Meyer motor function assessment (FMA),Brunnstrom upper limb and hand staging (BSULH),the Barthel Index (BI) and in terms of the active range of motion in the wrist contralateral to their hemiplegia (AROM).The combined group was also evaluated using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) before treatment and after the 4 weeks.Results After 2 and 4 weeks of the treatment,the average BI,AROM,FMA and BSULH results had improved significantly compared with before the treatment.The improvements in the combined group were significantly greater than in the other groups after 2 and 4 weeks.The fMRI demonstrated that there were high-intensity signals in the primary motor area,the premotor area and the supplementary motor area on the affected side after 4 weeks of treatment.Conclusions Mirror therapy combined with Tungdu Xingshen acupuncture can improve the functional performance of the upper extremities of stroke survivors.
