In the presence of silver ion, Mn2+ could be electro-oxidized to potassium hypermanganate in phosphoric acid solution, which could effectively react with pyrocatechol in acid solution and luminol in sodium hydroxide solution to produce chemiluminescence. On the basis of this, a novel indirect approach for the detection of Mn2+ was established. The effect of silver ions on the electrochemical oxidation of Mn2+was studied. when 1. 5 ×10-5 mol/L Ag+ and 0. 01 mol/L phosphoric acid solution were used in the process of electrochemical oxidation, the CL intensity could be up to the maximum value after the above solution was electrolyzed for 2 min. The relation of CL intensity and Mn2+concentration in the solutions at different pH and the selectivity were also investigated. when the pyrocatechol was used as luminescent reagent in the acidic medium, the CL intensity was linearly to the Mn2+concentration in the range of 1. 82×10-7-7. 27×10-5 mol/L with excellent selectivity. Common ions had little interferences in the determination of Mn2+. The method was successfully applied to the determination of Mn2+ in surface water and drinking water with satisfactory results.

Objective:To construct a fall risk prediction model for patients with hematologic malignancies and to provide a reference for the risk assessment and accurate management of falls.Methods:The prospective study design was adopted to facilitate the selection of 510 patients with hematologic malignant in Qilu Hospital of Shandong University for investigation, and relevant data such as patient demographic characteristics, disease treatment and drugs were collected. The LASSO-Logistic regression was used to screen the risk factors of falls in patients with hematologic malignancies, to construct a nomogram risk prediction model. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and calibration curve were used to evaluate the predictive performance of the model. Bootstrap resampling were used to validate internal validation of the model.Results:Among 510 patients with hematological malignancies, there were 273 males and 237 females, aged 53.0 (41.0, 63.0) years old. A total of 6 risk factors were included in the fall risk prediction model for patients with hematological malignancies, which were disease type ( OR = 0.185, 95% CI 0.061 - 0.562), body temperature ≥38 ℃ ( OR = 2.239, 95% CI 1.128 - 4.445), pain ( OR = 15.581, 95% CI 6.592 - 36.829), anemia ( OR = 4.097, 95% CI 1.536 - 10.927), days of bone marrow suppression ( OR = 3.341, 95% CI 1.619 - 6.893), and assessment of daily self-care ability ( OR = 3.160, 95% CI 1.051 - 9.506)(all P<0.05). The ROC curve of the fall risk prediction model was 0.884 (95% CI 0.841-0.927). The optimal threshold, sensitivity, and specificity of the risk prediction model were 0.248, 87.4% and 75.6%. The internal validation C statistic was 0.873. The Calibration curve was almost coincides with the ideal curve, and the model Brier score was 0.080. Conclusions:The constructed fall risk prediction model has good predictive performance, which can efficiently and objectively quantify the risk of falls, and provide a reference for the early assessment and effective prevention of falls in patients with hematological malignancies.

Objective:To construct the delirium prevention nursing program in ICU children and explore its clinical effect.Methods:The literature analysis and expert meeting method were used to construct the delirium prevention nursing program in ICU children. Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 315 ICU children who were admitted to Children's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from February to July 2020 were selected as the control group and 309 ICU children admitted from August 2020 to January 2021 were selected as the experimental group. The control group adopted routine nursing, while the experimental group adopted delirium prevention nursing program in ICU children on the basis of routine nursing. The differences in the incidence of delirium, mechanical ventilation time, ICU stay and ICU costs were compared between the two groups.Results:After the intervention, the incidence of delirium in the experimental group was 15.9% (49/309) and the ICU stay was 4.0 (2.5, 7.0) days, which were lower than 29.2% (92/315) and 5.0 (3.0, 10.0) d in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (χ 2=15.892, Z=-2.341; P<0.05) . Conclusions:The establishment and application of delirium prevention nursing program for ICU children can effectively reduce the incidence of delirium in ICU children and length of stay in ICU.

Background Air pollution is related to the occurrence and development of mental diseases. Olfactory bulb damage might be the potential prodromal symptom and sign of these diseases. The toxicity of diesel exhaust (DE), one of the main sources of air pollution, on olfactory bulb and the underlying mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Objective To explore the toxicity of DE on mouse olfactory bulb and underlying mechanisms. Methods A total of 40 C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups for exposure to DE by systemic inhalation: control group (filtered air), low exposure group (750 μg·m−3 DE), medium exposure group (1500 μg·m−3 DE), and high exposure group (3000 μg·m−3 DE). The mouse inhalation exposure to DE was performed 1 h per day for 28 d. HE staining was performed to observe pathological changes in mouse olfactory bulb tissue. TUNEL assay was used to observe apop-tosis in olfactory bulb. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) was exhibited to explore potential mechanisms of olfactory bulb damage associated with DE. Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) was used to determine mRNA expression levels of inflammatory factors including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Immunofluorescence staining was conducted to observed the microglia and astrocyte activation in olfactory bulb. Results The HE staining results showed that the number of periglomerular cells in the glomerular layer of olfactory bulb decreased in a dose-dependent manner, and the cells in the granule cell layer of olfactory bulb became disordered after DE exposure. The TUNEL staining showed that TUNEL positive cells in olfactory bulb tissue and neuronal apoptosis increased in the exposed groups compared with the control group (P<0.05). The KEGG pathway analysis showed that DE associated with significant enrichment of TNF signaling pathway in olfactory bulb tissue. The qPCR results showed that the TNF-α relative expression level significantly increased by 67% and the IL-6 relative expression level by 340% in the DE high exposure dose group compared with the control group (P<0.05). According to the immunofluorescence staining results, the numbers of activated microglia and astrocytes in olfactory bulb tissue significantly increased in the DE high exposure group, the relative fluorescence intensity of ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule 1 (IBA-1) increased by 120%, the granule cell layer relative fluorescence intensity of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) increased by 400%, and the glomerular layer relative fluorescence intensity of GFAP increased by 240% than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Inhalation exposure to DE can lead to glial cell activation including microglia and astrocytes in olfactory bulb tissue by activating inflammatory pathways and releasing inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-6, leading to neuronal apoptosis in olfactory bulb tissue.
