A method for the determination of three volatile elements (mercury, arsenic and selenium) in soils by one-time digestion was established.The digestion of samples was carried out in an automatic program temperature controlled graphite digestion instrument by aqua regia + hydrofluoric acid+boric acid.Hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry (HG-AFS) was used to determine the contents of mercury, arsenic and selenium in the same digestion solution.The accuracy of the method was verified by the results of the soil environment samples of certified reference materials GSS-1-GSS-8 from the Center of the National Standard.The contents of soil mercury, arsenic and selenium obtained by this method were consistent with the standard values of these elements provided by the Center of the National Standard.In comparison with the current standard methods, the one-time digestion method was simplified, the pre-processing time was saved, and the reagent consumption was reduced.The method had wide range of application, high sensitivity, low detection limit, which was especially suitable for trace analysis of bulk samples, and also it could be used as a rapid digestion method for the measurement and governance of heavy metals in polluted soils.

Objective:To explore the spatial distribution and clustering in birth defects from 2010 to 2013 in Shaanxi Province.Methods:Spatial distribution was used to describe the birth defects,while ordinary Kriging method was used to predict the status of birth defects in Shaanxi province.The spatial characteristics for the birth defects at the county/district level were analyzed by spatial autocorrelation.Results:The overall incidence of birth defects was 219.196/10 000;Birth defect did not appear to be a random distribution but show a significant spatial aggregation.Spatial interpolation predicted the geographic distribution for occurrence of birth defects in Shaanxi Province.Local autocorrelation analysis showed nine hot spot areas for birth defects,such as Qian County,Liquan County,Yongshou County,Bin County,Fufeng County,Jingyang County,Chunhua County,Wugong County and Xingping City,and seven cold spot areas including Jia County,Yuyang District,Mizhi County,Suide County,Wubu County,Qingjian County and Zizhou District.Conclusion:There are spatial clustering in birth defects from 2010 to 2013 in Shaanxi Province.Spatial interpolation and spatial autocorrelation can be used to predict the spatial features of birthdefects in the whole province and provide evidence for the further intervention.

Objective To explore the feasibility of contrast-enhanced ultrasonograhy (CEUS) in preoperative classification of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) microvascular morphology.Methods Totally 94 HCC patients who underwent CEUS were analyzed retrospectively. And the offline Time-intensity curve (TIC) were drawn using SonoTumor. The tumor size, alpha fetoprotein (AFP), cirrhosis, Child-Pugh classifi cation, tumor differentiation and TNM stage were statistically analyzed. The intratumoralmicrovessels of HCC in 94 cases were evaluated by CD34 immunohistochemical staining. The relationship between intratumoral microvessel morphology and CEUS parameters were analyzed.Results CD34 immunohistochemical staining showed three distinct microvessel types in 94 cases of HCC: 28 cases of capillary-like type, 14 cases of sinusoid-like type and 52 cases of mixed type. There were no significant differences of clinical data among three microvascular morphology types. The parameters of peak strength (PE), rise time (RT), wash-in rate (WiR), wash-in perfusion index (WiPI), wash-in area under the curve (WiAUC) and mean transit time (MTT) in 28 cases of capillary-like type were (4350.7±2566.0) a.u, (10.7±3.2) s, (717.0±489.9) a.u, (12820.3±8331.6 )a.u, (128 240.8±74 487.1) a.u, (71.9±33.1)s. Those parameters in 14 cases of sinusoid-like type were (2471.6±1107.1) a.u, (16.2±4.2)s, (321.9±171) a.u, (5 561.4±2 938.0) a.u, (86 780.1±47 563.7) a.u, (117.8±69.6)s. And in 52 cases of mixed type they were (3563.2±2343.1) a.u, (14.1±4.8)s, (519.4±403.2) a.u, (9 015.3±6 884.7)a.u, (128 240.8±74 487.1) a.u, (71.9±33.1) s respectively. The CEUS parameters of WiR, WiPI in capillary-like type HCC patients were higher than sinusoid-like type and mixed type HCC patients, while RT was lower than sinusoid-like type and mixed type HCC patients, and the differences were signifi cant (WiR: t=3.87, 3.3, bothP=0.05; WiPI: t=2.96, 2.06, bothP=0.05; RT: t=3.19, 2.34, bothP=0.05). The parameter of PE in capillary-like type HCC patients were signifi cantly higher than that in sinusoid-like type HCC patients (t=2.51,P=0.05). And the parameter of PE in capillary-like type HCC patients was higher than mixed HCC patients, but there was no signifi cant difference. The parameters of PE, WiR and WiPI in mixed type HCC patients were higher than that in sinusoid-like type HCC patients, while RT in mixed type HCC patients were lower than that in sinusoid-like type HCC patients, but there were no signifi cant differences. No signifi cant differences of WiAUC and MTT were observed in HCC patients with different microvascular morphology.Conclusions There were signifi cant differences of CEUS parameters in different microvascular morphology types. And CEUS, as a non-invasive method, can be used for preliminary preoperative prediction of microvascular morphology in HCC patients.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics and risk factors of local recurrence in resected pancreatic cancer.Methods:The clinicopathological data of 190 patients in whom recurrent sites can be identified after radical resection of pancreatic cancer from Sep 2013 to Aug 2020 at the Cangzhou Central Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The survival time and clinicopathological characteristics of local recurrence were compared with those of other recurrence types. Cox risk regression model was used to analyze the risk factors of local recurrence.Results:The recurrence sites were local (49 cases, 25.8%), liver (53 cases, 27.9%), lung (35 cases, 18.4%), peritoneal (25 cases, 13.2%) and multiple sites (28 cases, 14.7%). Patients mRFS and mOS were 17.8 months and 30.9 months respectively. The clinicopathological features of patients with local recurrence were compared with those of other recurrence types [tumor diameter ( P=0.023), preoperative CA199 level ( P=0.021), peripancreatic nerve plexus invasion ( P=0.031), lymphovascular invasion ( P=0.004), surgical margin state ( P<0.001) and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy ( P=0.038)]. Tumor diameter ( P=0.018), peripancreatic nerve plexus invasion ( P=0.002) and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy ( P=0.004) were independent factors for local recurrence in resected pancreatic cancer, and only peripancreatic nerve plexus invasion was not associated with other recurrence types. Conclusions:Local recurrence in resected pancreatic cancer has important impact on the prognosis of patients. Peripancreatic nerve plexus invasion is an independent factor affecting local recurrence.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors and their early warning effectiveness for the occurrence of early neurological deterioration (END) in patients with moderate traumatic brain injury (modTBI).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 265 patients with modTBI admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Fuyang Normal University from January 2018 to April 2023. There were 165 males and 100 females, with age range of 20-91 years [(59.5±14.4)years]. The patients were divided into END group ( n=46) (17.4%) and non-END group ( n=219) (82.6%) according to whether the Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) decreased by 2 points or more within 72 hours after injury. Data of the two groups were recorded, including gender, age, basic diseases (hypertension and diabetes), cause of injury (traffic injuries, falls, etc), vomiting before admission, admission GCS, first CT scan time, epilepsy, brain contusion, subarachnoid hemorrhage, types of intracranial hematoma (epidural, subdural, and intracerebral hematoma), types of fracture (skull base fracture and skull fracture), laboratory indicators [platelet count (PLT), blood potassium level, serum total calcium concentration, thrombin time (TT), prothrombin time (PT), international normalized ratio (INR), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), level of fibrinogen (FIB), and level of D-dimer. Correlations between above-mentioned indicators and occurrence of END among modTBI patients were assessed and the independent risk factors were revealed by univariate and multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under curve (AUC) were used to evaluate the early-warning effectiveness of each risk factor for END. Results:Univariate analysis showed that admission GCS, first CT scan time, epidural hematoma, subdural hematoma, intracerebral hematoma, serum potassium level, FIB and D-dimer were statistically correlated with occurrence of END among modTBI patients ( P<0.05 or 0.01). Multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis showed that admission GCS≤10 points ( OR=0.53, 95% CI 0.34, 0.84, P<0.01), first CT scan time≤2.0 hours ( OR=0.58, 95% CI 0.37, 0.92, P<0.05), epidural hematoma ( OR=0.26, 95% CI 0.10, 0.69, P<0.05), intracerebral hematoma ( OR=0.14, 95% CI 0.04, 0.44, P<0.01), level of FIB≤2.3 g/L ( OR=0.34, 95% CI 0.18, 0.64, P<0.01), level of D-dimer>10.4 mg/L ( OR=1.04, 95% CI 1.02, 1.07, P<0.01) were independent risk factors for END among modTBI patients. ROC curve analysis showed that the first CT scan time had relatively higher early warning value (AUC=0.79, 95% CI 0.74, 0.84), level of D-dimer (AUC=0.75, 95% CI 0.70, 0.80) and level of FIB (AUC=0.70, 95% CI 0.65, 0.76) had moderate early warning value, which was higher than that of admission GCS (AUC=0.62, 95% CI 0.56, 0.68), intracerebral hematoma (AUC=0.62, 95% CI 0.56, 0.68) and epidural hematoma (AUC=0.60, 95% CI 0.54, 0.66). The combination of the risk factors revealed superior early warning efficiency for END (AUC=0.90, 95% CI 0.85, 0.93). Conclusions:Admission GCS≤10 points, first CT scan time≤2.0 hours, epidural hematoma, intracerebral hematoma, level of FIB≤2.3 g/L and level of D-dimer>10.4 mg/L are independent risk factors for END among modTBI patients. The early warning value of the first CT scan is the highest, followed by D-dimer and FIB, and the early warning effectiveness of admission GCS, intracerebral hematoma and epidural hematoma is ordinary.The combination of the above risk factors has better early warning efficiency for occurrence of END among modTBI patients.
