Objective To introduce a rapid spot test method for nitrite in water to meet the urgent need of nitrite monitoring during accidental pollution. Methods According to the drinking water legislation in Europe (threshold: 0.10 mg/L NO2-), a rapid spot test method for nitrite in water was established by using an optimized composition of reagent mixture and a binary positive/negative response, conducted as follows: a tablet of a mixture of solid reagents containing sulfanilamide, N-(1-naphthyl) ethylene diamine dihydrochloride and sodium chloride was put on a spot test plate of Teflon mould, then, a drop of 30%(V/V) HCl and a drop of water sample were added on the reagent material. Results Under these conditions, all the test samples containing ≥0.10 mg/L NO2- can produce a positive response of the characteristic red-purple color, whereas, the samples will produce a negative response when the level of NO2- was below the limit. The results of real water samples determined with this new method were confirmed by using the photometric method based on the use of the same reagents. Conclusion The method is simple, rapid , accurate, and suitable for field monitoring of nitrite in water.

OBJECTIVE:To compare the efficacy and safety of Sodium hyaluronate versus Carbomer,Polyethylene glycol,To-bramycin and Dexamethasone in the treatment of glaucoma with cataract. METHODS:464 glaucoma patients with cataract were randomly divided into group A(116 cases),group B(116 cases),group C(116 cases)and group D(116 cases). All patients re-ceived intraocular lens implantation;1-1.5 cm to Tramycin and Dexamethasone eye ointment,3-5 times a day. Based on it,group A received 1-2 Sodium hyaluronate eye drops,4 times a day. Group B received 1 Carbomer eye drop,3-5 times a day. Group C re-ceived 1-2 Polyethylene glycol eye drops,3-5 times a day. Group D received Tobramycin and dexamethasone eye ointment,1-1.5 cm every times,1-3 times a day. They treated for 1 month. Clinical efficacy,recovery of visual acuity and ocular surface functions [dry eye symptom score,tear film break-up time(BUT),corneal fluorescein staining(CFS),basal tear secretion(SIt),ocular sur-face disease index(OSDI)] and the incidence of adverse reactions in all groups were observed. RESULTS:The total effective rate sorted,patients with visual acuity higher than 0.6,BUT,OSDI by group A>group B>group C>group D,with significant differenc-es (P<0.05). patients with visual acuity in 0.3-0.6,0.1-0.3 and lower than 0.1,drycye symptom score,CFS,SIt in group A was less than group B,which was less than group C and group D,with significant differences(P<0.05). The incidence of adverse re-actions in group A was lower than group B,C,D,with significant differences(P<0.05),but there was no significant difference in group B,C,D(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Sodium hyaluronate shows superior efficacy and safety to Carbomer,Polyethylene glycol,Tobramycin and Dexamethasone in the treatment of glaucoma with cataract,it can significantly improve visual acuity and ocular surface function.

Objective To investigate the impact of triptolide (TP) on proliferation and apoptosis of imatanib resistant CML cell (K562/G01) and its regulating effect on Wnt/β3-catenin signal pathway.Methods A series of 10,20,40,and 80 nmol/L of triptolide were used in CML cells K562/G01 for 12,24,and 48 hours.The cell proliferation was detected with methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) test.The apoptosis was assessed with flow cytometry (FCM).The mRNA expressions of breakpoint cluster region-c-abl (BCR-ABL),β-catenin and its down-stream targets Lef-1,and cyclinD1 were analyzed with real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR),respectively.Results Triptolide significantly inhibited K562/G01 cell growth ability and induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner.Mter being treated with 20,40 nmol/L TP for 24 hours,the cell growth inhibition rates were (22.62 ± 1.33) ％,and (51.41 ±1.39) ％,respectively.The late apuptosis rates were (6.91 ± 0.14) ％,and (7.64 ± 0.47) ％,respectively.Meanwhile,PCR data showed that the mRNA levels of BCR-ABL were decreased,compared to the control group,the mRNA levels of β-catenin,Lef-1,and cyclinD1 were also decreased obviously after treatment.Conclusions Our data indicated that the triptolide could inhibit the proliferation and induce the apoptosis of K562/G01,and the mechanism might be related to the blockade of Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway.

Objective To investigate the relationship between omentin-1 and Coronary heart disease in different glucose tolerance populations. Methods Serum omentin-1 levels were determined by ELISA in 143 subjects with normal glucose tolerance,impaired glucose tolerance with CHD, type 2 diabetes mellitus with CHD. The relationships between omentin-1 and waist- to-hip ratio, body mass index (BMI), blood Glucose, serum insulin,HOMA-IR and blood fat were also explored.Coronary artery stenosis was screnned by coronary interventional angiography and assessed by Gensini scoring system. Results Serum omentin-1 levels were all lower in T2DM and IGT subjects than those in control subjects (P<0.01). Serum omentin-1 was correlated positively with high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (P < 0.01),and inversely with body mass index,waist-hip ratio,diastolic blood pressure, triglyceride,fasting blood glucose,fasting insulin,HbA1c,[w1]and insulin resistance(HOMA-IR)(P<0.05 or P <0.01).Omentin-1 levels was negative related with Gensini coronary artery score (P < 0.01). Multiple linear regression showed body mass index,HOMA-IR,diastolic blood pressure were independently associated with omentin-1 levels (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusions Serum omentin-1 levels, associated with fat,insulin sensitivity, are likely to play an important role in insulin resistance and the development of CHD in populations with different glucose tolerance.
