Soil water is one of the most important components in hydrological cycle. The stable hydrogen and oxygen isotopes in soil water have been increasingly used in the ecological, environment and hydrological research. In view of different techniques for extracting soil water, there is significant difference in theδD andδ18 O composition. This paper presents a method for analyzing hydrogen and oxygen isotopes in soil water by using elemental analyzer and isotope ratio mass spectrometry with accelerated solvent extraction for sample pretreatment. The conditions are: extraction solvent: dichloromethane, temperature: 100 ℃, pressure of 10. 3 MPa, static time:10 min. The samples were extracted three times, and with cycle values of four, four and three, respectively. Comparing with the added water, the deuterium and oxygen isotope values in the extracted soil water enrich 2. 12‰-4. 58‰ and 0. 17‰-0. 93‰, respectively. The reproducibility of replicate extractions of soil water is around ±0. 89‰ for δD and ±0. 37‰ for δ18 O.

Objective:To understand the current situation and demand of intracavity electrocardiographic positioning technique training for PICC specialist nurses in Shandong Province, and provide a reference for further improving and improving the training of PICC specialist nurses.Methods:From July 7-23, 2019, a total of 903 PICC specialist nurses in Shandong Province were selected by the convenience sampling method. The nurses were investigated by the self-made general information questionnaire of PICC specialist nurses in Shandong Province and the training demand questionnaire of intracavity electrocardiographic positioning technique.Results:40.75% (368/903) PICC specialist nurses had participated in intracavity electrocardiographic positioning technique training; 84.27% (761/903) PICC specialist nurses thought it necessary to conduct intracavity electrocardiographic positioning technique training. PICC specialist nurses had various training on intracavity electrocardiographic positioning technique, the average content requirements were all above 4.67 points. The highest score of theoretical training content was the judgment of the relationship between catheter tip position and electrocardiogram P wave (4.80 ± 0.47), and the highest score of operation training content was the intracavitary electrocardiography guided PICC catheterization (4.74 ± 0.55). 94.24%(851/903) PICC specialist nurses hoped to achieve the goal of improving clinical nursing practice ability through intracavity electrocardiographic positioning technique training. Intravenous therapy specialist academic conference was the main hoped training form(76.85%, 694/903). Multiple regression analysis showed that the number of years of catheterization, job position and understanding of the technology were the influencing factors of PICC specialist nurses′ training needs for intracavity electrocardiographic positioning technique ( t = -3.73,3.12, -3.63, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The training rate of intracavity electrocardiographic positioning technique was low, but PICC specialist nurses had higher training requirements for intracavity electrocardiographic positioning technique. Managers should pay attention to the training of intracavity electrocardiographic positioning technique, and develop targeted training programs to further improve the clinical practice capabilities of the PICC specialist nursing team.

Objective:To study the curative effect of rehmannia glutinosa leaves total glycoside capsules and the role of mitochondrial autophagy on nucleos(t)ide drug-induced renal injury.Methods:Adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) was used to construct a hepatitis B virus (HBV) transgenic mouse model for renal injury. Renal function was measured in each group at one and two weeks of modeling. Mitochondrial autophagy indicators were measured at two weeks of modeling in renal tissue. Transmission electron microscopy was used to detect mitochondrial autophagy phenomena in renal tissue. The model was established for two weeks. Mouse with renal injury were treated with rehmannia glutinosa leaves total glycoside capsules or isotonic saline for eight weeks by intragastric administration. Renal function was measured. Renal tissue morphology was observed. Mitochondrial autophagy indicators were detected in renal tissue. The protective effect of different concentrations of verbascoside (the main active ingredient of rehmannia glutinosa capsule) was observed on HK-2 cell damage induced by ADV. HK-2 cells were divided into control, ADV, and ADV plus verbascoside groups. The effects of verbascoside at different times and concentrations were observed on the HK-2 mitochondrial autophagy indicators. Fifty patients with chronic hepatitis B were collected who presented with renal injury after treatment with nucleos(t)ide analogs. The random number method was used to divide 29 cases into a control group that received conventional treatment. The treatment group of 21 cases was treated with rehmannia glutinosa leaves total glycoside capsules on the basis of the control group. Serum creatinine (Scr) and urinary protein were detected at eight weeks.The χ2 test or t-test was used for statistical analysis. Results:Compared with the control group, two weeks of modeling in the ADV group induced renal function injury in HBV mice. The expression of autophagy indicators was higher in the renal tissue of the ADV group than that of the control group. Transmission electron microscopy had revealed mitochondrial autophagy in the renal tissue of the ADV group. Compared with the control group, the renal function of HBV mice treated with rehmannia glutinosa leaves total glycoside capsules improved for two months, and the expressions of autophagy indicators were down-regulated.Verbascoside promoted proliferation in ADV-damaged HK-2 cells, and the expression of autophagy indicators was down-regulated compared with the ADV alone group. In 50 patients with renal function injury, the urinary protein improvement was significantly superior in the treatment group than that in the control group, with eighteen and three cases being effective and ineffective in the treatment group and 12 and 17 cases being effective and ineffective in the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2 ?=?9.975 0, P ?=?0.001 6). Serum creatinine was decreased in the treatment group compared with the control group, with 11 and 10 cases being effective and ineffective in the treatment group and 12 and 17 cases being effective and ineffective in the control group, with no statistically significant difference ( χ2 ?= 0.593 5, P ?=?0.441 1). Conclusion:Rehmannia glutinosa leaves total glycoside capsule can improve the nucleos(t)ide drug-induced renal function injury in chronic hepatitis B, possibly playing a role via inhibiting PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitochondrial autophagy.
