Objective: To develop a magnetic solid-phase extraction combined with gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) based on pyrrole-modified magnetic nanoparticles to determine 16 types of phthalic acid esters (PAEs) in commercial liquors. Methods : Fe3O4 magnetic nuclei were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis, and the polypyrrole-modified magnetic nanomaterials were prepared with the chemical oxidation method. Magnetic solid-phase extraction of beer, grape wine, rice wine and Chinese spirits was performed at 10% alcohol by volume, extraction duration of 20 min and ethyl acetate elution of 10 min, followed by addition of 1 g NaCl for reduction of emulsification effect. The 16 types of PAEs were determined using GC-MS/MS with DB-5MS capillary column (30 m×250 μm, 0.25 μm) under the mode of electron impact ionization (EI) and dynamic multiple reaction monitoring (dMRM), with quantitative analysis using the external standard method. The standard curve, detection limit, spike recovery rate and precision of GC-MS/MS for determination of 16 types of PAEs were evaluated. Results: Pyrrole was successfully embedded onto the surface of magnetic nanoparticles in the form of polymer, and the magnetic nanoparticles modified by polypyrrole were well characterized, showing unapparent matrix and emulsification effects. There was a good linear relationship for the 16 types of PAEs at 50 to 5 000 ng/mL (r=0.999 5-0.999 9), and the spike recovery rate of 16 types of PAEs ranged from 71.61% to 110.50% at 100, 500 and 1 000 μg/kg, with relative standard deviations of 3.78% to 7.41%, detection limits of 0.02 to 1.47 μg/kg. PAEs were detected in 20 out of 50 liquor samples, with 30.00%, 60.00%, 40.00% and 70.00% detection rates in beer, grape wine, rice wine and Chinese spirits, respectively. Conclusions This method is sensitive to determine 16 types of PAEs in liquor samples, with unapparent matrix and emulsification effects, and the polypyrrole-modified magnetic composite nanoparticles present high adsorption of PAEs in liquor samples, which is feasible for monitoring of PAEs in multiple types of liquor samples.

OBJECTIVETo study clinical results of reduction and fixation under arthroscopy for the treatment of osteochondrotical lesion in the knee.

METHODSFrom December 2012 to December 2013, 4 patients with the knee joint osteochondritis lesion and free bone fragments were treated with arthroscopy to detect the stripped cartilage, and then the cartilages were reduced with small incision and fixed by cartilage nail. There were 3 males and 1 female, with age of 15, 15, 20 and 27 years old. The durations of the disease were 1 d, 5 d, 1 month and 1 year. All the patients had swelling and effusion in the knee joint, and the floating patellar test was positive. CT examination showed bone defects and loose bodies. The Lysholm, VAS, and Tegner scale were used to evaluate the knee joint functions before and after operation.

RESULTSAll the patients underwent successful surgery. Postoperative CT showed good location of the cartilage without loss of reduced bone and cartilage. All the patients were followed up, and the duration ranged from 10 to 13 months, with a mean of 12 months. In one patient, arthroscopy examination was conducted for a second time to examine the connection of the fracture part to the surrounding cartilage, and it showed that the internal fixator was not absorbed. The Lysholm, VAS and Tegner scale of all patients were better than those before operation.

CONCLUSIONTreatment of osteochondritis lesion with the fixation of absorbable cartilage nails may reconstruct the integrity of articular surface and recover the stability of joints, and it is an effective treatment method.

Objective To discuss the technique′s characteristics, manifestation, clinical application, and limit in normal and abnormal pediatric airway by using CTVB (CT virtual bronchoscopy) in comparison with FOB (fiberoptic bronchoscopy). Methods Spiral scans were performed by a GE Hispeed spiral scanner in 113 pediatric chests The reformed images of 45 patients were transported to a workstation by which 3 D reconstructions were performed with a software named Navigator and CTVB was generated Results Bronchi were manifested 100% in grades Ⅰ-Ⅲ, 46 7% and 13 3% were revealed in grade Ⅳ and V with CTVB, respectively FOB can only enter grade Ⅰ-Ⅲ bronchi, only 62 2% of the lobar bronchi can be manifested by FOB The findings of CTVB were stenosis ( n =34), occlusion ( n =11), and mass ( n =16) Only 3 radiotransparent foreign bodies and 2 inflammatory emboli were misdiagnosed as tumors, the rest was consistent with FOB Conclusion CTVB is an important supplement to conventional CT, CTVB can detect intraluminal space occupying lesions and occlusions or stenosises caused by all kinds of causes,but lack specificity CTVB can fly through the occlusions or stenosises of the lumen and enter the distal bronchi, thus can make up for the disadvantages of FOB It can′t make the diagnosis independently and must join together the CT primitive the diagram resemble or rebuild the diagram resemble proceeds to synthesize the analysis

Objective To investigate the frequency of micresatellite instability (MSI) and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and select sensitive loci for studying microsatellite DNA imbalance in thymic squamous cell carcinoma. Methods 5 microsat-ellitc polymorphism markers and extrated DNA were selected from 9 specmiens of paired thymie squamous cell carcinoma/nor-real tissues. MSI and LOH in the specmiens of thymic carcinoma and relevant pericancerou tissues were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by 6% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(PAGE) with silver staining. Results MSI or LOH was detected in 9 thymic carcinoma tissues. The frequency of MSI or LOH was 66.7% (6/9) at loci of D6S1708, 33.3% (3/9) at TP53, 33.3% (3/9)at DM, 33.3% (3/9)at D11S988 and 0% (0/9)at D8S136, LOH at D6S1708 (5/6) was a common genetic alteration. DI1S988 had only LOH alteration. Conclusion D6S1708, TP53, DM, and D11S988 are sensi-tive loci for studying microsatellite DNA imbalance in thymic squamous cell carcinoma. Microsatellite DNA imbalance may play a certain role in occurrence and development of thymic squamous cell carcinoma, and the relationship between MSi or LOH.The linicopathological features of thymic squamous cell carcinoma needs further investigation.

The viability and life span of pollen were evaluated by TTC (2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazlium chloride) and the peroxidase solution, the stigma receptivity were estimated by benzidine-H2O2 method and the fruiting characteristics were investigated. The results showed that (1) Anoectochilus roxburghii and A. formosanus appeared the same up-and-down trend of the pollen viability, increased and then decreased. The storage temperature and storage time had significant impact on the pollen viability. With the extension of storage time, the pollen activity decreased. 4 degrees C refrigerator storage may be extended the pollen vitality. (2) The stigma had receptivity in 1st day and reached the highest level in the 4th day after blooming. A. roxburghii lost receptivity in the 8th day while A. formosanus lost receptivity in the 10th day after blooming. (3) The different pollination had significant impact on seed setting rate. The seed setting rate of artificial cross-pollination was higher than that of the artificial self-pollination. Collecting pollen in the 3rd day and carrying out artificial cross-pollination in the 4th day after blooming can significantly improve seed setting rate. The results provided technical assurance for A. roxburghii and A. formosanus breeding of new varieties and seed breeding.
