A benzyl functionalized ionic liquid, 1-benzyl-3-methylimidazolium bis [( trifluoromethyl ) sulfonyl]imide ([BeMIM][Tf2 N]), was synthesized and characterized as an extraction solvent of dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction ( DLLME) for enrichment and determination of 5 organophosphorus pesticides (phoxim, fenitrothion, chlorpyrifos, phorate and parathion) and 2 aromatic compounds (chloronaphthalene and anthracene) from environmental water samples by high-performance liquid chromatography ( HPLC). [BeMIM] [ Tf2 N] had higher extraction efficiency than 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium bis [( trifluoromethyl) sulfonyl]imide and common organic solvents such as CCl4 and C2 Cl4 . The extraction was performed using 40 μL of [BeMIM][Tf2N] and 1 mL of methanol as extraction solvent and dispersive solvent respectively with centrifugal time of 5 min. Under the optimal conditions, the method proposed here provided a good linearity for all analytes with correlation coefficients between 0. 9994 and 0. 9998. The repeatability values, described as intra-day and inter-day relative standard deviations (RSDs) of five replicate experiments at three different concentrations of 10, 40 and 100 μg / L, were 1. 1% -4. 3% and 0. 8% -4. 8% , respectively. The limits of detection (LOD) were 0. 01 μg / L-1. 0 μg / L at a signal-to-noise ratio (S / N) of 3. This developed method was convenient and speedy, and could be employed to detect the analytes in three real environmental water samples with satisfactory relative recovery of 82. 7% -118. 3% and RSD of 0. 7% -5. 6% . Introduction of benzyl group into the imidazolium could obviously enhance the extraction efficiecny for analytes due to the π-πinteraction between [BeMIM] [ Tf2 N] and analytes. [ BeMIM] [ Tf2 N] was a satisfactory extraction solvent with a high enrichment factor of 339 and extraction efficiency of 81. 4% . Partition coefficients of all analytes in [BeMIM][Tf2 N]-DLLME system were determined and the extraction mechanism was discussed.

Purpose To explore the value of window width adjustment in diagnosing the invasiveness of lung adenocarcinoma manifested as ground glass opacities on high-resolution CT, and to provide guidance for the diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma in different types. Materials and Methods The preoperative CT data of 102 preinvasive lesions and 107 invasive lesions of lung adenocarcinoma were analyzed retrospectively. Among 102 cases of preinvasive lesions, 25 were atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH), 77 were adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS). Among 107 cases of invasive lesions, 78 were minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA), and 29 were invasive adenocarcinoma. The lesions were ground glass opacity (GGO) on lung window while were invisible on mediastinal window. The window width was adjusted constantly until the lesions were invisible with the fixed mediastinal window level (40 HU). When the lesions became invisible, the window width was compared and the best cut-off was found on ROC curve in the two groups. Results The window width of lesions between preinvasive lesions and invasive lesions was different (Z= - 6.203, P<0.05). Window width was a good indicator for the invasiveness of pulmonary adenocarcinoma (area under the ROC was 0.748, P<0.05), and the window width of 1303 HU was the best cut-off for preinvasive lesions and invasive lesions (sensitivity was 56.9%, specificity was 86.0%. Conclusion Window width may be useful for the diagnosis of the invasiveness of the GGO of lung adenocarcinoma on HRCT. The lesion disappearing when the window width is larger than 1303 HU is more likely to be preinvasive; while the lesion disappearing when the window width is smaller than 1303 HU is more likely to be an invasive one.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the causes of chronic cough in children and its outcome after treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). METHOD: Fifty-six cases of children who were previously diagnosed as chronic cough by pediatrician with poor treatment outcomes, were made a definite diagnosis of CRS and then treated by otolaryngologist. RESULT: Fifty-six cases of children were made a definite diagnosis of CRS according to CT and/or nasal endoscopy examination. The cardinal symptom was cough in all cases, in which 35 cases (62.5%) with nasal congestion and rhinorrhea, 15 cases (26.8%) with snoring and mouth breathing, 6 cases (10.7%) with postnasal drip and expectoration. Among all the patients, stick purulent secretion in nasal cavity and posterior pharyngeal wall was found in 45 cases (80.4%), nasal polyps in 5 cases (8.9%), adenoidal hypertrophy in 21 cases (37.5%), nasal polyps and adenoidal hypertrophy in 4 cases (7.1%), allergic rhinitis in 19 cases (33.9%). After the combined treatment of CRS, 45 cases (80.4%) were cured, 9 cases (16.1%) relieved and 2 cases (3.6%) ineffective. CONCLUSION Chronic cough is the commonly cardinal symptom of CRS in children and it can be cured or relieved by combined treatment of CRS.

Objective To explore the epidemiologic and clinical features of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) caused by Coxsackie virus A16 (CA16) in Suzhou from 2010 to 2014, and analyze the relationship between the SNPs of oligoadenylate synthetase 1 (OAS1) and HFMD caused by CA16 infection.MethodsThe clinical data of children diagnosed with HFMD caused by CA16 during 2010 and 2014 were collected. The epidemiological characteristics were analyzed. Among them, 167 cases were selected to make comparison of the clinical features with 166 cases of HFMD caused by EV71 infection in the same period. The genotyping ofOAS1 rs10774671 was detected by TaqMan probe technique in 167 cases of CA16 infection children, 166 cases of EV71 infection children with HFMD and 163 healthy children. The relationship between polymorphism of gene and infection of CA 16 was analyzed.ResultsA total of 9 016 children with HFMD were included. CA16 nucleic acid detected to be positive in 762 cases. The detection rate was 8.45%. CA16 infection was most commonly in summer. Children under 5 years old accounted for 94.62% infected. Compared with EV71 infected children, CA16 infected children had shorter fever time, severer oral herpes, ulcer, and rash in hand, foot and hip, lesser nervous system involvement, fewer cases of high lactate dehydrogenase, high C reactive protein, high IgM or IgG, and signiifcant changes in the percentage of CD3+, CD3+CD4+, CD3+CD8+ and CD3-CD19+ (P all?

Objective To investigate the value of detection of fetal cell-free fetal DNA(cff-DNA)in maternal plasma in the prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities.Methods The plasma from 3200 gravidas(singleton with 20.3 ± 3.8 gestational weeks)was collected from April 1st 2011 to May 30th 2012.They were divided into 3 groups:(1)To tally 1720 cases were included in the high-risk serological screening group,in which women were younger than 35 years and got high-risk results in serological screening;(2)To tally 1310 cases were included in the advanced age group,in which women's age was more than 35 years;(3)To tally 170 cases were included in the supplementary group,in which women were younger than 35 years and got low-risk results in serological screening,or women who didn't take serological screening tests.All the 3030 gravidas in group 1 and 2 didn't take invasive prenatal diagnosis because of fear of abortion or short of prenatal diagnosis.Cff-DNA were detected by next generation sequencing in Shenzhen BGI Genomics Center for clinical laboratory.Amniocentesis and karyotype analysis were provided to the positive cases and women with negative results were followed-up by telephone.Results(1)The 3200 cases took cff-DNA detection,and 31 cases got positive results,including 27 cases of trisomy 21 and 4 cases of trisomy 18.Sixteen cases of trisomy 21 and 1 case of trisomy 18 were in the high-risk serological screening group.7 cases of trisomy 21 and 2 cases of trisomy 18 were in the advanced age group.Four cases of trisomy 21 and 1 case of trisomy 18 were in the supplementary group.(2)And the 84％(26/31)cff-DNA detecting positive cases received amniocentesis.In the 27 trisomy 21 positive cases,23 received amnioeentesis and got karyotype of 47XN,+ 21,with the diagnostic accordance rate of 100％.In the 4 cases who didn't take karyotype analysis,fetal anomaly(ventricular septal defect,dextrocardia and choroid plexus cyst)was found in 1 case before 20 gestational weeks;intrauterine fetal demise happened in 1 case before getting the result;2 other cases who already had healthy children took abortion in the local hospital without taking amniocentesis.In the 4 trisomy 18 positive cases,3 took amniocentesis,2 of which were trisomy 18 and took abortion,the other was chimera(46,XN/47,XN,+ 18)with only 2％ cells of trisomy 18,with no malformation found after delivery.Hypoevolutism(3 weeks less than gestational week),general hydropsy and intrauterine fetal demise happened before the other case took amniocentesis.(3)Follow up of cff-DNA negative cases:until May 30th 2012,no Down's baby was found in the 1230 cases with cff-DNA test negative results.Conclusions(1)The non-invasive fetal trisomy test(NIFTY)by next generation sequencing is a safe,accurate and high throughput method for the prenatal diagnosis of trisomy-21.(2)Use NIFTY as a further screening for pregnant women with high-risk serological screening results could lower invasive prenatal diagnosis rate.(3)Cases with positive NIFTY test results should receive amniocentesis and karyotype analysis to confirm the diagnosis before abortion.

BACKGROUND: After the damage of central nervous system, F-waves of electromyography is the valuable way for detecting tendon reflex and muscular tension below injured segment. The increase of spasm, stiffness and muscular tension induced by upper motor neuron injury can revoke change of F-waves.However, change of F-waves after spinal injury, and relationship between Fwaves and spasm of lower limb after injury are still unclear at present.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the correlation of minimal latency, occurrence rate and every index of dispersion-time degree of F-waves with post-injured spinal cord spasm in patients with spinal injury.DESIGN: Case-control observation.SETTING: Department of Rehabilitative Medicine, Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 29 patients with traumatic spinal cord injury,who were hospitalized at Department of Rehabilitative Medicine, Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology between June 2002 and March 2004, were selected as spinal injury group. Another 29 normal healthy volunteers were enrolled as normal control group in the same period. METHODS: Spasm level of both lower extremities in patients with spinal injury was graded with Ashworth scale to assess flexion of both coax, flexion of knee joint and Ashworth grade of dorsiflexion of ankle. F-waves was detected with Kepoint1.5 type EMG instrument produced by Denmark.Minimal latency, maximal latency and occurrence rate of F-waves of tibial nerve of both lower extremities were recorded. The discrete-time degree (difference value of maximal latency of F-waves and minimal latency of Fwaves) and mean occurrence rate of F-waves were calculated.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The difference of each index between patients with spinal injury and normal persons was compared and the correlation of spasm with discrete-time degree, occurrence rate and minimal latency of F-waves in patients with spinal injury was analyzed.RESULTS: A total of 29 patients and 29 normal persons were involved in the result analysis. ①The discrete-time degree of F-waves in patients with spinal injury was higher than that in the normal persons, which had significant difference [(9.2±1.9), (6.7±1.0) ms, P ＜ 0.000 1]. ②The occurrence rate of F-waves in patients with spinal injury was lower than that in normal persons, which had significant difference [(84.5±6.2)%, (89.5 ±5.7)%, P ＜ 0.05]. ③The minimal latency of F-waves in patients with spinal injury was higher than that in normal persons, which had insignificant difference ( P ＞ 0.05). ④The discrete-time degree of F-waves in patients with spinal injury had positive correlation linearly with score of spasm Ashworth (r=0.790 31, P＜ 0.000 1). The occurrence rate of Fwaves in patients with spinal injury had positive correlation linearly with score of spasm Ashworth (r=0.742 03, P ＜ 0.000 1 ). The minimal latency of F-waves in patients with spinal injury had insignificant correlation with score of spasm Ashworth (r=0.081 68, P ＞ 0.05).CONCLUSION: The discrete-time degree and occurrence rate of F-waves can be used as sensitive index to evaluate electrophysiology in patients with spinal injury so as to assess the level of spasm in patients with spinal injury.

Objective To evaluate the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) combined with drug therapy on patients with delayed encephalopathy caused by carbon monoxide poisoning ( COP). Methods Twenty to forty sessions of HBO therapy were used to treat 34 COP patients. Assessment relied on 99mTc-ethyl cysteinate dimer (~(99m)Tc-ECD) single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging of cerebral perfusion before and after treatment. Results After HBO therapy, cerebral perfusion in the COP patients improved significantly. There was a significant difference of the SPECT images before and after treatment. Conclusions SPECT imaging of cerebral perfusion can play an important role in the diagnosis of delayed encephalopathy caused by carbon monoxide poisoning, and it can be used for the therapeutic surveillance of HBO treatment.

Recent studies have demonstrated that coagulation function and liver microcirculation disturbance are important in the development and progression of liver diseases. ADAMTS13, also known as von Willebrand factor-cleaving protease, is a metalloproteinase produced by hepatic stellate cells, with major functions to cleave the von Willebrand factor multimers produced by vascular endothelial cells, regulate the adhesive capacity of platelets, and influence the body′s coagulation function and microcirculation. The important role of ADAMTS13 in the pathophysiological processes of various severe liver diseases such as liver cirrhosis, severe alcoholic hepatitis, hepatic veno-occlusive disease after stem cell transplantation, and liver graft dysfunction is reviewed in this paper, and its association with the severity of liver diseases is clarified. Plasma ADAMTS13 is involved in the development and progression of various liver diseases, and measurement of its level and activity can help the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of liver diseases.
