A bacterium which can effectively degrade LAS (Linear Sodium Alkylbenzenesulfonate) was isolated from washing powder manufacturing effluent and was preliminarily identified as Corynebacterium jeikeium GZ6. The bacterium can degrade LAS up to till 700 mg/L, and the optimum pH, temperature and concentration of LAS are 7.0, 30℃ and 400 mg/L, respectively. The biodegradation rate can reach 98.7% after 24 hours'cultivation in the suitable conditions. Experiments also showed that some heavy metal ions such as Hg2+ , Co2+ , Cd2+ can differently inhibit the degradation of LAS.

AIM To study the effects of growth inhibition of different concentrations of diallyl trisulfide(DATS) on gastric cancer MGC 803 cell line in vitro. METHODS The influence of different concentrations of DATS were examined by MTT assay, clonal formation rates and cell growth curve. RESULTS Suppression and decrease of MGC 803 cell proliferation was found after treatment by DATS in vitro. The inhibitory rates on MGC 803 cell growth of different concentration of DATS,4, 8, 12, 16 and 24 mg?L -1 , were 26%,46%,65%,76% and 89% respectively, and its half inhibitory concentration (IC 50 ) was 8 2 mg?L -1 . The clonal formation rates and clonal formation relative counts of 8, 12, 16 and 24 mg?L -1 were 32 4% and 58 7%,24 8% and 42 5%,19 0% and 33 5%?8 8% and 15 1% respectively.There was significant correlation between dose and effect in all, and the cell growth culve became lower and flatter when concentration of DATS increase gradually. CONCLUSION The effect of growth inhibition of DATS for gastric cancer MGC 803 cell in vitro is remarkable.

Aim To study the effect of As_2O_3(arsenic trioxide) on the expressions of telomeric repeat binding factor1,2 and telomeric stability of human gastric cancer MGC803 cells, and explore the mechanism of cell apoptosis. Method MGC803 cell growth inhibition was measured with MTT assay. Apoptosis was analyzed with flow cytometry. Influence on chromosome distal end was analyzed with chromosome end-end fusion analysis. Expressions of TRF1 and TRF2 were determined with Western blot analysis. Results MTT assay showed that As_2O_3 clearly inhibited the growth of MGC803 cells, depending on time and dosage. The apoptosis rates were significantly higher than those of the control group in a concentration and time-dependent manner. These changes were not found in the control group. After disposal with 5 ?mol?L -1 As_2O_3, chromosome fusion rate was obviously increased in 48 h. After 48 h of disposal with 5 ?mol?L -1 As_2O_3, the TRF1 of MGC803 cells was up-regulated while TRF2 was down-regulated. Conclusion As_2O_3 induced chromosome fusion and MGC803 cells apoptosis through up-regulating expressin of TRF1 and down-regulating expressin of TRF2.

Objective:To investigate the pathogenic bacteria distribution and risk factors of pulmonary infection after tracheotomy in patients with stroke coma,and to put forward preventive measures.Methods:96 patients with stroke coma from January 2016 to February 2017 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.The incidence of pulmonary infection and distribution of pathogenic bacteria of patients with stroke coma were analyzed.At the same time,the risk factors of pulmonary infection were analyzed by single factor and multiple factors logistic regression analysis,and corresponding preventive measures were put forward.Results:The incidence of pulmonary infection after tracheotomy in 96 patients with stroke coma was 48.96％ (47/96).A total of 104 pathogens were isolated and cultured,including gram negative bacteria 69 strains (66.35％),gram positive bacteria 20 strains (19.23％) and fungus 15 strains (14.42％).Single factor regression analysis results showed that pulmonary infection after tracheotomy in patients with stroke coma was closely related with age,basic diseases,time of tracheotomy,and bed time,use of broad-spectrum antibiotics,smoking history,artificial airway,times of sputum suction and inhalation(P＜0.05),and it was not related to the patient's gender,weight,stroke type (P＞0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age 45 years old,complicated with basic disease,time oftracheotomy 5 d,use of broad-spectrum antibiotics,smoking history and the establishment of artificial airway were risk factors of pulmonary infection after tmcheotomy in patients with stroke coma (P＜0.05).ROC analysis results showed that the critical point (threshold C) oftmcheotomy time was 4.3 days,and the sensitivity and specificity were 0.851 and 0.918 respectively.Conclusion:The main pathogenic bacteria of pulmonary infection after tracheotomy in patients with stroke coma is gram-negative bacteria,age 45 years old,complicated with basic disease,time of tmcheotomy 5d,use of broad-spectrum antibiotics,smoking history and the establishment of artificial airway can lead to pulmonary infection after tracheotomy in patients with stroke coma,and the risk of pulmonary infection in patients with stroke coma will increase considerably after the time of tracheotomy for more than 4.3 days.Targeted measures should be taken to reduce the risk of pulmonary infection according to pathogenic features and risk factors.

OBJECTIVETo investigate and clarify the key surgical techniques and evaluate clinical effectiveness of modular cementless femoral stems(LINK MP modular stem) in complex revision hip arthroplasty.

METHODSFrom January 2002 to December 2013, 470 patients in Chinese PLA General Hospital received revision hip arthroplasties using MP stems. Among them, 246 patients were followed for an average of 5.7 years (ranged, 0.5 to 11 years). There were 148 males and 98 females, with an average age of 62.5 years old (ranged from 26 to 83 years old). The most common reason for revision was aseptic loosening of femoral stems (107 cases, 43.5%), followed by prosthetic joint infection (104 cases, 42.3%). Other reasons included unexplained hip or thigh pain, periprosthetic femoral fracture, prosthesis wear and dislocation. According to Paprosky classification of femoral deficiency, there were 171 cases of type IIIA (69.5%), 14 cases of type I, 39 cases of type II, and 22 cases of type IIIB. The average preoperative Harris hip score (HHS) was 37.4 ± 7.5. In addition, radiographic presentation, degree of patients' subjective satisfaction, and clinical effectiveness were assessed as well.

RESULTSThe average Harris score was im- proved to 87.8 ± 4.2 after operation,with significant statistical difference when compared to preoperative score (t = 92.13,P = 0.00). Analysis of patients' subjective satisfaction for leg length discrepancy, stability and overall degree of satisfaction showed that the number of patients with great satisfaction were 27, 60, 61 respectively. The most common complication was the periprosthetic fracture (intraoperatively 21 cases and postoperatively 8 cases). Other complications included infection (7 cases), dislocation (5 cases), numbness possibly caused by incomplete sciatic nerve injury (6 cases) and thigh swelling (3 cases). The X-ray taken at the final follow-up revealed that prosthesis subsidence occurred in 4 cases, 2 of which needed a second revision.

CONCLUSIONThe application of modular cementless femoral stems (LINK MP modular stem) in complex revision hip arthroplasty (especially in cases with the serious defect of proximal femoral bone) shows good results at both the short-term and long-term follow-up, especially in the revision for prosthetic infection with the high success rate. In order to avoid complications and improve clinical outcomes,the surgeons should carefully select proper surgery candidates,perform the procedure with care, and master the key surgical techniques.
