[Objective] To explore the status of chlorite pollution in drinking water due to chlorine dioxide , aswell as its causes and counter measures. [Methods]A water plant collecting surface water as raw water slightly pol-luted by organic compounds and B water plant collecting ground water without organic compounds pollution wereselected as observed objectives. Chlorine dioxide generators were used in both of A and B water plants, their rawmaterials was chlorite for A plant and chlorate for B plant. The levels of chlorite in treated water from these twowater plants were determined by amperometric titration. [Results]The levels of chlorite in treated water of A waterplant ranged 0.530～0.760 mg/L, 2.6～3.8 times of the standard value, with a over standard rate of 100％, thelevels of B water plant range 0.257～0.733 mg/L, 1.3～3.7 times of the standard value, with a over standard rateof 83.3％. [Conclusion] The treated water of A and B water plants presented higher pollution by chlorite, the by-product of chlorine dioxide disinfection.

Objective To investigate the repair and protective effect of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) on liver and bile duct after cardiac death in pig.Methods Eight pigs were purchased and cardiac arrest was induced by the administration of 1 g KCL intravenously,followed by 30 min cardiopulmonary resuscitation according to standard guideline.Cannulas were placed through inferior vena cava and abdominal aorta,and then connected to ECMO extracorporeal circulation pipes.ECMO was performed for 4 h.Circulation flow rate of hepatic artery and bile production were monitored and recorded.Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH),γ-glutamyl transferase (γ-GT) and direct bilirubin (DBIL) in bile were detected.Transaminase,tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),interleukin-1β (IL-13),hyaluronic acid (HA),endothelin-1 (ET-1) and nitric oxide (NO) in serum were detected.Pathological change was observed by HE staining under optical microscope and cell apoptosis was detected by TUNEL.Results There was no bile production after cardiac death,which increased to 80％ of the baseline after 4h of ECMO.In addition,γ-GT,LDH and DBIL content in bile was (23.3 ± 11.8) IU/L,(15.9 ± 3.3) IU/L and (72.3 ± 21.4) mmol/ L,and IL-1,TNF-α and HA content in serum was (117.6 ± 39.0) ng/L,(120.4 ± 16.5) ng/L and (63.7 ± 4.4) ng/L,respectively,and no statistically significant differences were observed when compared with the baseline (all P ＞ 0.05).ET-1 content was (4.9 ± 1.3) ng/L and NO content was (135.3 ± 16.7)mmol/L in serum,which was statistically increased (both P ＜ 0.05).Pathological changes of liver and bile duct were significantly alleviated.Conclusion ECMO could exert protective effect on liver and bile duct after cardiac death.

Objective To investigate the optimal time of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) on repairing Maastricht Ⅱ pig liver with warm ischemia injury for 30 min.Method Thirty-six miniature pigs were randomized to ECMO 2-h group,ECMO 4-h group and ECMO 6-h group,12 pigs per group,6 donors and 6 recipients.Cardiac arrest was induced by administration of 1 g KCl intravenously,followed by cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for 30 min according to the standard guideline.Cannulas was placed through inferior vena cava and abdominal aorta,then connected to ECMO extracorporeal circulation pipes.Transaminase,circulation flow rate of portal vein and hepatic artery and arterial blood gas were monitored and recorded.The hepatic tissues were cut into sections for pathological observation by HE stain under a light microscope.Apoptosis was detected by TUNEL and apoptotic index was calculated.The liver was stored in cold UW for 2 h after the ECMO circulation,then orthotopic liver transplantation without veno-venous bypass was performed.The levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were measured in the peripheral blood for 5 days after the operation.Result With the increase of the running time of ECMO,transaminase and lactate levels were decreased continuously.Circulation flow rate of portal vein and hepatic artery in ECMO 6-h group was significantly lower than that in the other two groups (P＜0.05).Pathological change in ECMO 4-h group was milder than the rest two groups.Apoptosis index in ECMO 2-h,4-h and 6-h groups was (40.20 ± 7.22)％,(18.60 ± 4.04)％ and (29.25 ± 5.98) ％,respectively.The 5-day suvival rate in ECMO 2-h,4-h and 6-h groups was 83％,100％ and 83％,respectively.The transaminase level in ECMO 4-h group at 5th day after the operation was lower than in ECMO 2-h group and 6-h group (P＜0.05).Conclusion The optimal time of ECMO on repairing Maastricht Ⅱ liver was 4 h.The effect of restoration is not ideal when circulation time is not enough.Liver function and liver cell viability decline beyond 4 h.

Cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a common cerebrovascular disease in clinical practice. Although the treatment of AVMs has been w idely studied, the prognosis of the patients does not get significantly improvement. The main therapeutic purpose of AVMs is to reduce the risk of bleeding. This article review s the risk of bleeding and treatment modalities of AVMs.

Objective To study the repair mechanism of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation on liver after cardiac death.Methods Twelve pigs were equally randomized to ECMO group and control group.Cardiac arrest was induced by administration of 1 g KCL intravenously,followed by 30 min cardiopulmonary resuscitation according to the standard guideline Cannulas were placed through inferior vena cava and abdominal aorta,then connected to ECMO extracorporeal circulation pipes in ECMO group for 4 h.The livers were stored in cold UW for 4 h in control group.ATP,superoxide dismutase (SOD),glutathionein (GSH),malondialdehyde (MDA),heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) and intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) were detected in liver tissue.Pathological change was observed by optical microscope and electron microscopy.Results Tissue ATP decreased to less than 40％ of baseline after 30 min of warm ischemia,then restored to 70％ after 2 h of ECMO and returned to baseline after 4 h,while ATP of control group continued a further decline As compared with control group,SOD,GSH and HSP70 increased significantly in ECMO group (P＜0.05),while MDA and ICAM-1 decreased significantly (P＜0.05).Pathological changes of liver tissue observed by optical microscope and electron microscopy in ECMO group were significantly were significantly alleviated as compared with those in control group.Conclusion ECMO can supply oxygen and nutrients to liver after warm ischemia and increase energy reserve.By upregulating GSH,SOD and HSP-70 and other protective proteins,ECMO alleviates oxidative stress and liver damage ECMO also improves microcirculation and reduces neutrophil infiltration by protecting sinusoidal endothelial cells.

Objective To evaluate the preventive effects of Haishe capsules on the conversion of amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) to Alzheimer's disease(AD).Methods Patients (n=120) with aMCI from our department were recruited and randomly divided into the treatment group and the control group (n=60 in each group).The treatment group was given 0.9 gram of Haishe capsules three times a day while the control group received no drug treatment.Data on the conversion ratio,memory and cognitive function were comparedbetween the groups in a 24-months follow-up.Results By the end of the study,12 patients in the treatment group and 15 in the control group dropped out.Valid data for 93 patients were available for statistical analysis (48 in the treatment group and 45 in the control group).The number of aMCI patients who converted to AD was 6,with a conversion ratio of 12.5％ (6/48);and the number of patients who went through conversion in the control group was 13,with a conversion ratio of 28.8％ (13/45).The difference in conversion between the two groups was statistically significant (x2 =3.83,P＜0.05).After 24 months,MMSE scores for the treatment group (25.52± 1.07) had no significant change compared with baseline levels,while MMSE scores for the control group decreased significantly(24.75--1.49) and were markedly lower than thosefor the treatment group (t=2.85,P＜0.05).MoCA scores for the treatment group (19.39 ±2.01) did not show decline until the end of the study,while those for the control group started to decrease about half way through the study and were lower than scores for the treatment group (t =2.41,P＜0.05).Compared with baseline levels,ADAS-Cogscores for the treatment group (7.62± 1.06) did not increase significantly during the course of the study.ADAS-Cogscores forthe control group were higher at both half way (7.70±0.75) and the end of the study (8.18±0.80)than base line levels,and there was a statistically significant difference in end-of-study ADAS-Cog scores between the two groups(t =-2.6,P＜ 0.05).Conclusions Haishe capsules not only effectively maintain memory and cognitive function,but also delay the conversion from aMCI to AD.

Objective To detect the protective effect of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) on Maastricht type Ⅱ donation after cardiac death (DCD) liver transplantation in pigs.Methods Twenty mini-pigs were randomized into ECMO group (n =10) and control group (n =10).Then 10 pigs in each group were randomized into donors and recipients.Maastricht type Ⅱ DCD model was induced in all of the 10 donors.Donors of ECMO group received 2-h ECMO after cardiac death,then underwent liver graft procurement.The donors of control group underwent liver procurement directly after cardiac death.Recipients of two groups underwent orthotopic liver transplantation without venovenous bypass.During this procedure,vital signs were monitored continuously,lactate and liver biochemistry were tested,and 5-day survival rate was observed.Results Maastricht type Ⅱ DCD model was successfully built in all of the donors with consequent dark liver.For donors of ECMO group,liver turned sanguinous and soft quickly after treatment of ECMO.There were no significant differences in operation time,anhepatic time and anhepatic hemodynamic changes between these two groups (P ＞ 0.05).As compared with control group,ECMO group had better hemodynamic parameters 30 min after reperfusion,lower lactate,ALT and AST levels 30 min after reperfusion and before closing the abdomen,and higher 5-day survival rate (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion ECMO may improve the quality of Maastricht type Ⅱ DCD liver graft,and increase the survival rate of DCD liver transplantation.

Objective:To determine the expression of silent information regulator 1 (Sirt1) , Sirt3 and hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) tissues and cells, and to explore their role in the occurrence and development of CSCC.Methods:From January 2019 to December 2020, 30 lesional skin tissues were obtained from patients with histopathologically confirmed poorly-, moderately- or well-differentiated CSCC, and 30 normal skin tissues were obtained from patients with non-cancerous diseases in Department of Dermatology, General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University. A CSCC cell line A431 and a human keratinocyte cell line HaCaT were cultured. Immunohistochemical study, Western blot analysis and real-time quantitative PCR (RT-PCR) were performed to determine the protein and mRNA expression of Sirt1, Sirt3 and HIF-1α in CSCC tissues of different grades of differentiation and normal skin tissues, cytochemical and immunofluorescence staining and RT-PCR were conducted to determine the protein and mRNA expression of Sirt1, Sirt3 and HIF-1α in A431 and HaCaT cells, respectively. Comparisons of measurement data among multiple groups were performed by using one-way analysis of variance, and comparisons between two groups by using t test. Results:Immunohistochemical study showed that the expression level of Sirt3 (expressed as the average optical density) was 100 ± 12.12, 117.72 ± 26.23, 127.32 ± 24.45, 132.71 ± 31.61 in the normal skin tissues and well-, moderately- and poorly-differentiated CSCC tissues respectively, and there was a significant difference among these groups ( F = 20.14, P < 0.001) ; the expression of Sirt1 and HIF-1α increased in turn from the normal skin tissues to the well-, moderately- and poorly-differentiated CSCC tissues, and significantly differred in these groups ( F = 174.50, 225.00, respectively, both P < 0.001) . As Western blot analysis revealed, the expression level of Sirt3 significantly differed among the normal skin tissues, well-, moderately- and poorly-differentiated CSCC tissues (expressed as relative gray value: 1.000 ± 0.132, 1.403 ± 0.411, 1.387 ± 0.393, 1.677 ± 0.683, respectively; F = 34.97, P < 0.001) , and so did the expression levels of Sirt1 and HIF-1α ( F = 69.29, 199.90, respectively, both P < 0.00l) , with a gradually increasing trend in their expression levels from the the normal skin tissues to well-, moderately- and poorly-differentiated CSCC tissues. RT-PCR showed that the mRNA expression of Sirt3, Sirt1 and HIF-1α was sequentially increased from the normal skin tissues to well-, moderately- and poorly-differentiated CSCC tissues, and significant differences were observed among these groups ( F = 113.00, 174.50, 50.33, respectively, all P < 0.001) . The protein expression levels of Sirt3, Sirt1 and HIF-1α were significantly higher in the A431 cells than in the HaCaT cells ( t = 16.75, 18.34, 27.76, respectively, all P < 0.001) , and so were their mRNA expression levels ( t= 14.22, 9.62, 16.86, respectively, all P < 0.001) . Conclusion:Increased expression of Sirt3, Sirt1 and HIF-1α was observed in CSCC tissues and cells, which may promote the occurrence and development of CSCC.
