Sulfur compounds in the diesel were selectively derived into methylsulfonium salts by reacting with iodomethane in the presence of silver tetrafluoroborate, and characterized by positive-ion electrospray ionization (ESI) fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR MS). The conversion ratios and react selectivities of the methylation for various sulfur compounds were investigated by gas chromatograph coupled with pulse flame photometric detector (GC-PFPD). Result shows that the sulfur compounds in the diesel can react with iodomethane easily at room temperature, the most of sulfur compound derived into methylsulfonium salts;the homologue of benzothiophene get the higher conversion ratio and react selectivity than the homologue of dibenzothiophene (DBT). It is found that primarily sterically hindered alkylated DBT, for example, 4- or 4-, 6- DBT, is recalcitrant to be methylated. Other than benzothiophenes and dibenzothiophenes, one- and two-ring sulfides, as well as other sulfur compounds with a double bond equivalent (DBE) value ranged from 1 to 12 are identified in the diesel.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of endoscopic ultrasonography( EUS)for gastrointestinal submucosal tumors. Methods EUS was performed on 378 patients with submucosal tumor detected by endoscopy. The shape,number,origin,and property were recorded under endoscopic ultrasonogra-phy. The diagnostic consistent rate was calculated with pathology as the golden standard. Results Among 378 patients,there were 131 cases of gastrointestinal leiomyoma,mostly low echo( n=87 ),homogeneous echo (n=119),and originated from muscular layer of mucosa(n=92). There were 111 cases of gastrointestinal stromal tumor,mainly low echo(n=51),medium low echo(n=51),homogeneous echo(n=78),originated from muscularis propria(n=85). There were also 50 cases of carcinoid tumor,mainly low echo(n=36), originated from submucosa(n=27). Forty-five cases of lipoma were detected,also originated from submuco-sa,mainly hyperecho(n=40),homogeneous echo(n=41). Heterotopic pancreas(n=19),schwannoma (n=4),and granular cell tumor(n=4)were relatively rare. Overall diagnostic consistent rate of EUS in submucosal tumor was 78. 6%( 297/378 ),diagnostic consistent rate of the shape of the tumor was 91. 8%(347/378),diagnostic consistent rate of the number was 95. 5%(361/378),and the consistent rate of origin was 96. 8%(366/378). Conclusion All kinds of submucosal tumor have certain features under endoscopic ultrasonography. Endoscopic ultrasonography can display echo,size,origin of gastrointestinal submucosal tumors,as well as their relations with the wall layer in gastrointestinal tract. It plays an important role in the diagnosis,differential diagnosis and treatment options,but there are still some limitations.

OBJECTIVE: To lay a foundation for meridian diagnosis by measuring the blood perfusion (BP) on yuan-source points of twelve meridians and calculating the normal range of imbalance degree (IBD) of left and right meridian (IBD-LRM), IBD of exterior-interior meridian (IBD-EIM) and IBD of hand-foot of the same name meridians (IBD-HFM) in healthy subjects. METHODS: BP at yuan-source points of twelve meridians was measured on 31 healthy volunteers by a Laser Doppler Line Scanner (LDLS). BP distribution and IBD-LRM, IBD-EIM, IBD-HFM were calculated. RESULTS: (1) Of the twelve meridians, BP was almost equal between the left and right of the same meridian. The mean value of IBD-LRM was (0.8±7.0)%. The absolute value of IBD-LRM ranged from (13.2±12.0)% to (22.9±15.6)%, with the mean value of (16.2±4.1)%, the IBD of gallbladder meridian of foot-shaoyang was the highest. (2) Of the six pairs of exterior-interior meridians, five pairs manifested as the interior (yin) meridians being larger than the exterior (yang) meridians in BP. The mean value of IBD-EIM was (-11.4±10.4)%. The absolute value of IBD-EIM ranged from (16.6±12.1)% to (36.6±15.6)%,with the mean value of (25.2±8.0)%, the IBD between pericardium meridian of hand-jueyin and triple energizer meridian of hand-shaoyang was the highest. (3)All of the hand-foot of the same name meridians were found hand meridians being larger than foot in BP. The mean value of IBD-HFM was (38.8±18.2)%.The absolute value of IBD-HFM ranged from (34.4±20.9)% to (59.6±12.0)%, with the mean value of (43.8±13.3)%, and IBD between heart meridian of hand-shaoyin and kidney meridian of foot-shaoyin was the highest. (4) The order of IBD absolute value in BP was the same as transcutaneous CO2 emission (TCE) measured before, and their IBD-LRM absolute values were close to each other. However, the absolute values of IBD-EIM and IBD-HFM existed some differences. CONCLUSIONS: The IBD-LRM of the twelve yuan-source points in BP of healthy subjects is small and in a balance state, but IBD-EIM and IBD-HFM are relatively high.

AIMTo learn the electrophysiological interference of levofloxacin (LVFX) to heart in guinea pig.

METHODSHigh, moderate and low doses of LVFX were given to the anesthetic guinea pig via i.p., and QT interval span and corrected QT-interval span in the II leading lines of ECG were recorded and analyzed from 5 min to 360 min after the drug administration. Single ventricular myocytes were obtained and impacted by LVFX solution of different concentrations. Then delayed rectifier potassium currents (I(K)) on single cells were recorded with whole-cell patch clamp technique, and compared with control group(without impact of LVFX).

RESULTS(1) After the administration of LVFX, at the dose of 200 mg/kg. QT-interval span was significantly elongated, and the increasing rate is 19.38% +/- 3.15% (P < 0.05). While at the relatively lower doses of 50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg, the elongation is of low/no significance (P > 0.05). (2) LVFX inhibited I(K) dose-dependently and time-dependently.

CONCLUSIONLVFX might prolong the QT-interval span by the mechanism of inhibiting I(K), which implies a potential risk in clinical application.

Objective To observe the effect of inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) on prevention of bone cement implantation syndrome (BCIS). Methods Ten sheep were divided into 2 even groups, BCIS and LVCF intervention ones. First IVCF was implanted into the inferior vena cava through cervical vena-right atrium pathway under fluoroscopic monitoring to observe the influence of IVCF on BCIS. Then BCIS was es-tablished in the same sheep by compressing 10 mL of bone cement into a sheep medullary canal after mutilation of the left femur. Arterial blood pressure, heart rate, central venous pressure (CVP) and blood gas were monitored, while an ultrasonic device was utilized to monitor fat embolisms in the right atriums of the sheep. Oil red staining was performed to detect fat embolisms in pulmonary arteries after the sheep were executed. Results In BCIS group, dotted uneven resonances were found in the right atrium and right ventricle when the medullary canal pressure was increased to 120 mm Hg, indicating embolisms in the right chambers. The dotted resonances were increased to ponderous, snowflake-like ones as the medullary canal pressure climbed up. At the same time, blood pressure and Pa02 dropped significantly, the systolic blood pressure dropped to (80±11) mm Hg and PaO<.2> to the minimum 25 minutes after cone cement implantation. The heart rate and CVP increased continuously. The blood gas assay indicated respiratory and metabolic acidosis. The oil red staining showed bulk fat embolus in pulmonary arteries. But in IVCF group, the similar resonances were not observed throughout the surgery and the medullary canal pressure climbed to 400 mm Hg, reaching the maximum of our pressure gage range. The blood pressure, PaO2, heart rate and CVP did not change much compared to those before implantation. The blood gas and pulmonary oil red staining showed few changes either. Conclusion IVCF implantation can prevent the genesis of BCIS.
