Abstract A new method was established to determine the free inorganic cadmium ion ( Cd2+) in marine bivalves using high performance liquid chromatography and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry ( HPLC-ICP-MS) . The free Cd2+ in shellfish was ultrasonic extracted for 40 min by 10 mmol/L Tris buffer solution ( with 0. 1 mol/L NaCl, pH=7. 5), and the separation of Cd2+ was achieved using an IonPac CS5A analytical column with an IonPac CG5A guard column. The mobile phase consisted of 50 mmol/L C2 H2 O4 and 95 mmol/L LiOH. The new method had a good linear relationship with the correlation coefficient of 0. 999 and the standard recoveries of Cd2+ were all above 84. 6%. The free Cd2+ content in several kinds of marine bivalves was determined using the method and the results showed that the percentage of free inorganic Cd2+ to the total Cd content in samples with high Cd content was higher than those with low Cd content.

ObjectiveTo observe the therapeutic benefit of administration of endothelial cells derived from rat bone marrow cells in ischemic stroke rats and to explore the related mechanism.MethodsPrepared endothelial cells from bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) of rats, which were multiplied and differentiated in the medium with 400ng/ml rhGM-CSF in vivo. Rats were subjected to permanent cerebral middle artery occlusion (MCAO) models(n=45). Injected intravenously via tongue vein with 3×106 endothelial cells 24 h after stroke for test groups(n=15); injected same amount PBS for control group 1(n=15); control groups without any intervention after stroke (n=15). Neurologic functional behaviour tests (postural reflex test, limb use asymmetrical test and corner test) were performed before transplantation and 1,3,5,7,14 d after stroke. Meanwhile, immunohistochemistry staining was used to identify for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor FLK-1 expression in ischemic brain tissue.ResultsSignificant recovery of neurological function was detected in rats treated with endothelial cells on the 7th day and 14th day after stroke, compared with control group 1 and group 2(P<0.05);The number of positive cells of VEGF, FLK-1 were significant more in the peri-ischemic tissue and ipsilateral cortex, compared with non-ischemic hemisphere. The maximum number of positive cells was in the test group which was treated with endothelial cells(P<0.05);VEGF was mainly expressed at neurons, glial cells and part of endothelial cells; FLK-1 was mainly expressed at endothelial cells and part of neurons and glial cells;capillary hyperplasia was demonstrated more at the ischemic hemisphere in the rats treated with endothelial cells, compared with control group 1 or 2.ConclusionEndothelial cells derived from bone marrow cells in rats could improve neurological outcome in rats with ischemic stroke. The effect starts to be significant on the 7th day after transplantation and it shows more significant effect on the 14th day. Endothelial cells transplantation will enhance VEGF, FLK-1 expression at ischemic area and increases capillary hyperplasia formation, which may relate to the potential mechanism of neurological outcome improvement post stroke in rats.

Objective:To explore the application of beside wheelchair seating training in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and mechanical ventilation, so as to provide the reference for the nursing of acquired myasthenia in EICU.Methods:A total of 66 ARDS patients with mechanical ventilation treated in Beijing Hospital from July 2017 to July 2019 were assigned to the experimental group and the control group according to the admission time, 33 cases in each group. Patients in the control group received routine nursing, while the experimental group implemented beside wheelchair seating training. The differences in muscle strength, self care ability, duration of mechanical ventilation, length of EICU stay as well as complications between the two groups were compared.Results:The incidence of EICU acquired myasthenia in the experimental group was 18.2% (6 cases), which was significantly lower than that in the control group 42.4% (14 cases), the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=4.59, P<0.05). Out of EICU, the Medical Research Council (MRC) scores and Modified Barthel Index (MBI) scores were (48.27 ± 5.11), (59.67 ± 7.33) points in the experimental group, which were significantly higher than those in the control group (44.88 ± 6.75), (54.06 ± 8.53) points, the differences were statistically significant ( t=2.30, 2.86, both P<0.05). The length of EICU stay and duration of mechanical ventilation were (8.24 ± 1.48) d, (7.15 ± 1.48) d, in the experimental group, which were significantly lower than those in the control group (9.85 ± 2.99) d, (8.24 ± 1.77) d, the differences were statistically significant ( t=2.77, 2.72, both P<0.05). The oxygenation index after 30 minutes of weaning was (296.64 ± 15.45) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), which was significantly higher than that in the control group (288.36 ± 16.75) mmHg, the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 2.09, P<0.05). Conclusions:The beside wheelchair seating training can effectively decrease the incidence of EICU acquired myasthenia as well as shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation and length stay in EICU of patients with ARDS. It is safe and effective, and has good clinical application value.
