Surface-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (SALDI-MS) has become an indispensable tool in macromolecule and small molecule analysis for solid and liquid samples.However, there were few studies focusing on the ionization mechanisms especially for the small molecules.In this work, the compounds of pyrene, coronene and rubrene which have similar molecular structures were used to investigate the ionization mechanism via SALDI-MS.Additionally the effect of the laser power on the product ions was also investigated.It was found that strong cluster ions peaks nM+(M=pyrene, coronene) were observed for pyrene and coronene, and daughter ions of coronene by loss of C2H2 were also observed.On the contrary, no cluster ion was obtained for rubrene, only daughter ions with the losses of nC6H5 (n=1, 2, 3) were acquired.Finally, the ionization mechanisms were discussed.The formation of clusters of pyrene and coronene was attributed to the interaction of π-π bands.For rubrene, the spatial barrier weakened the interaction of π-π bands because the four phenyl groups were not on the same plane of skeleton structure, thus impeding the formation of cluster ions.

Objective To discuss the efficacy of Lamiophlomisrotata Dripping Pill combined with intra-articular injection of medical ozone in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis.Methods Eighty patients with knee osteoarthritis were selected,the control group (39 cases) were administered Lamiophlomisrotata Dripping Pill,the observation group (41 cases) were administered Lamiophlomisrotata Dripping Pill combined with intra-articular injection of medical ozone.The efficacy of Lamiophlomisrotata Dripping Pill combined with intra-articular injection of medical ozone in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis were evaluated by efficacy,knee function,and inflammatory factor.Results After treatment,the effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group (P ＜ 0.05).In the observation group,there were 38 cases of patients who felt pain,tenderness,and swelling symptom relief.There were 28 cases in the control group.After treatment,the scores of pain,activity,walking ability,and KSS in the observation group were higher than that of the control group (P ＜ 0.05).There was no statistical significance on the stability between two groups.Before treatment,there were no statistical significance on the IL-6,IL-8,and TNF-α.After treatment,the IL-6,IL-8,and TNF-αt were increased in two groups (P ＜ 0.05).And these indexes in the observation group were higher than that of the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion In summary,Lamiophlomisrotata Dripping Pill combined with medical ozone had good effect on the knee osteoarthritis.It could release the pain,improve knee function and anti-inflammatory.It was worthy of clinical use.

Objective To observe the anatomic landmarks in the thoracic cavity under thoracoscope in procedures for scoliosis,so as to facilitate the intraoperative localization and the prevention of complications. Methods During 23 cases of thoracoscopic anterior procedure,anatomic landmarks,including the segmental vessels,azygous vein,intervertebral discs,rib heads and great splanchnic nerve,were observed. Results The segmental vessels of T 6～10 were situated at the center of the vertebral body and their position was relatively constant.The T 7～10 intervertebral discs were a little bit prominent and white-colored,which were easily distinguished.The rib heads corresponding to their vertebral bodies were good landmarks.The great splanchnic nerve crossed over the T 7～9 vertebral bodies arrisways. Conclusions With the assistance of anatomic landmarks,accurate localization of the vertebral body is possible,which is helpful to the prevention of spinal cord injury and the decrease of frequency of radiation exposure.

Objective To study the feasibility and efficacy of endovascular thoracic aortic repair supported by preliminary arterial bypass. Methods From June 2003 to Jan. 2005, eight patients underwent endovascular repair (EVR) combined with supportive arterial reconstruction in the thoracic aorta. Five patients had Debakey type Ⅲ aortic dissection aneurysm (ADA), and the remaining 3 had descending thoracic aortic aneurysm (DTAA), aortic arch aneurysm and aortic arch pseudoaneurysm respectively. The proximal landing zone was measured less than 15 mm in all instances by contrast-enhanced CT scan and digital subtraction angiography. The preliminary right-left axillary bypass was performed in an ADA case in whom the distance from the primary entry site to the origin of the left common carotid artery was longer than 15mm,and the right- left carotid and left carotid-subclavian bypass in the remaining 7 cases. EVR was conducted 1 week after the bypass. Results All procedures were performed successfully. However, the DTAA patient died of the hemispheric cerebral infarction and subsequent multiple system organ failure, albeit the uneventful recovery from the prior cervical reconstruction. Type Ⅱ endoleak occurred at the completion of EVR in the patient receiving the axillary bypass, but disappeared on 3-month CT. No neurological deficits or limb ischemia developed perioperatively or during the follow-up raging from 3 to 22 months, and complete thrombosis of the thoracic aortic false lumen or of the aneurysm/pseudoaneurysm was revealed on CT at 3 months in the 7 patients. Conclusion The adjunctive surgical bypass appeared to be feasible and effective in creating extra proximal landing zone for endovascular thoracic aortic repair, and thus broaden its application.

Objective To explore the application of near infrared fluorescent dye C-dots in cell labeling.Methods B16 melanoma cells were cultured with C-dots of various diameters.The distribution of C-dots in cells was observed by laser confocal fluorescent microscope.The proliferation of both C-dots-labeled and unlabeled cells were measured by MTT colorimetry.The viability of labeled cells was checked by trypan blue staining.Results C-dots with diameter of 5 or 10 nanometers can be used to label cells.The near infrared fluorescence of C-dots was taken into the cells and observed on the cellular membrane.No difference of cellular viability was found between the labeled and unlabeled cells.Conclusion C-dots can be used as an intracellular marker for the research on trace and proliferation of cells.

Objective: To discuss the effect of volatile organic compounds to the potential of embryonic development. From the angle of the laminar flow process, we found ways to control VOCs to ensure that the potential of embryonic development. Methods:To collect the air from the outdoor, laboratory hundred and thousand grade level central corridor three VOCs for testing;we used raw, medium effect filter to replace the original filter and got different results. Results:The indoor VOCs were higher than outdoor;Changes in concentrations of VOCs can affect embryonic development potential. The effect of replaced filter is bigger. After a period of time in a laminar flow system, it gradually getting better and finally change more than before. Conclusion:The embryo laboratory has volatile organic compounds VOCs. VOCs have larger influence on embryonic development potential and can be effectively controlled.
