ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility and influence factors of a new silver salt method for determination of arsenic in drinking water. Methods Arsenic was determined at different reaction temperature,acidity, specification and addition of zinc granular, fill weight of lead acetate cotton, and the effect of these factors on assay results was observed. Arsenic in drinking water was determined in accordance with standard test methods (GB/T 5750.6) of the new silver method. Results The recoveries of the arsenic were 75.3% - 93.6%(F =9.21,P < 0.01 ) with reaction temperature at 10 - 30 ℃, and the best reaction temperature was 25 ℃. The recoveries of the arsenic ranged from 80.3% - 91.6%(F =4.67, P< 0.05) when sulfuric acid was 3.0 - 6.0 ml and the best value was 5.0 ml. The recoveries of the honeycomb structural zinc granular(diameter 0.2 - 0.3, 0.3 - 0.4 mm) and button zinc granular were 87.2%, 90.7% and 83.0%, respectively; the best specification was 0.3 - 0.4 mm. The recoveries of zinc granular weight(3 - 5 g ) were 74.6% - 91.7%, respectively; the best was 5 g. The recoveries ranged from 79.6% - 91.3% with fill weight of lead acetate cotton at 25 - 100 mg, the best fill weight was 50 mg.The recoveries of the arsenic were 90.7%, 92.5%, 81.5% and 74.2% with lead acetate cotton length at 0.5 - 2.0 cm,and the best loose-tight degree was 1.0 cm. The stability time of arsine solution was 5.0, 4.0, 2.5 h with corresponding temperature at 20, 25, 30 ℃, respectively. ConclusionsIn order to ensure precision and accuracy of the measurement, it is necessary to control reaction temperature, acidity, specification and addition of zinc granular free from arsenic, fill weight of lead acetate cotton and loose-tight degree in the reaction system.

Objective To discuss nicardipin′s influence on post operation cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in senior patient after hip joint replacement operation.Methods 180 senior patient, who received selective unilateral hip joint replacement operation between October 2015 and October 2016 under the condition of combined spinal-epidural anesthesia (CSEA) were randomly divided into Group A (with nicardipine) and Group B (without nicardipine).Nicardipine was only appropriately pumped into vein in time in Group A.MAP was observed and recorded 30 minutes after starting the operation and at the end of the operation.Mini-mental state examination (MMSE) was applied to score the patient one day before, one day, three days and five days after operation, and the number of POCD was recorded.Results Compared with Group B, Group A was obviously lower in MAP level (P<0.05) after 30 minutes.MMSE score of Group A was obviously higher (P<0.01) one day after operation.The number of POCD in Group A was 8 (8.89%) significantly lower than than that of Group B (19, 21.11%).Conclusion Nicardipine could maintain hemodynamic stability of senior patients receiving selective unilateral hip joint replacement operation under the CSEA and prevent POCD to a certain extent.

OBJECTIVE To explore occurrence, distribution,and resistance profile of ?-lactamases in clinical isolates of Enterobacter cloacae for rational use of antibiotics in clinic. METHODS Susceptibility test to 13 antibiotics was also performed through disk diffusion test.ESBLs were conformed according to NCCLS.DIDST test was adopted to detect AmpC ?-lactamases in E.cloacae isolates. RESULTS Among 78 isolates collected,13(14.9%) produced AmpC ?-lactamases,24(27.6%) produced ESBLs,10(11.5%) produced both ?-lactamases.These produced(?-lactamases) strains resisted to almost all ?-lactams,except for imipenem.The ?-lactamases producers possessed seriously multi-and cross-drug resistance. CONCLUSIONS ESBLs and AmpC ?-lactams are the main mechanism of E.cloacae resistance to antibiotic.

Objective To explore the correlation between serum brain natriuretlc peptide(BNP) and cardiac function in children with pneumonia.Methods Fifty-two children with pneumonia were seleated.Among them 20 were complicated with congestive heart failure(CHF),including 9 boys and 11 girls,their ages ranging from 4 months to 4 years old;and 32 cases non-complicated with CHF,including 17 boys and 15 girls,their ages ranging from 5 months to 6 years old.Besides,there were 30 healthy children as control group,including 16 boys and 14 girls,their ages ranging from 6 months to 5 years old.For all the children,their serum BNP was measured by using ELISA met-hod,and CK-MB was measured by automatic biochemistry analyzer.In the sametime,their cardial function was measured by echocardiography.Results In the children with pneumonina complicated with CHF,the levels of serum BNP[(182.45?57.32) ng/L] and CK-MB [(48.19?16.08) IU/L] were higher than those of healthy control group[(35.12?13.84) ng/L,(11.48?4.29) IU/L Pa0.05).The levels of left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),left ventricle shortening fraction(FS),peak flow velocity of arteriae arota(PFVA),peak flow velocity of pulmonary artery(PFVP) in the children with pneumonia complicated with CHF were lower than those of healthy control group(Pa0.05).There was a positive correlation between the levels of serum BNP and CK-MB(r=0.28 P0.05).Conclusion The levels of serum BNP may be an important index in diagnosis of infant pneumonia complicated with CHF.

Objective To compare the dosimetry and toxicities between postoperative fixed-field intensity-modulated radiotherapy (FF-IMRT) and image-guided radiation therapy/volumetric modulated arc therapy (IGRT-VMAT) for cervical cancer.Methods A total of seventy patients with stage I b-Ⅱa postoperative cervical cancer who had high risk factors,were divided into FF-IMRT (FF-IMRT group,n =35)and IGRT-VMAT (IGRT-VMAT group,n =35),to compare the difference of target dose and adverse reaction between the two groups.Results In the IGRT-VMAT group,the interfractional setup errors in the x,y,and z axes were (0.25±0.14) cm,(0.26±0.16) cm,and (0.24±0.18) cm,respectively;the intrafractional setup errors in the x,y,and z axes were (0.1±0.09) cm,(0.12±0.09) cm,and (0.11±0.09) cm,respectively;the margins in the x,y,and z axes were 0.75 cm,0.84 cm,and 0.78 cm,respectively.Under the same dosimetric conditions,the IGRT-VMAT group was superior to the FF-IMRT group in terms of conformity index,treatment time,and number of monitor units (P=0.000).The Dmean and volume receiving high-dose irradiation for the bladder,rectum,and small intestine were significantly lower in the IGRT-VMAT group than in the FF-IMRT group (P=0.000).Compared with the FF-IMRT group,the IGRT-VMAT group had a significantly reduced incidence of acute and chronic gastrointestinal,urinary,and hematologic toxicities (P< 0.05).Conclusions IGRT-VMAT can correct setup error online,shorten the treatment time,reduce the dose to organs at risk,and alleviate acute and chronic toxicities,and is especially suitable for patients with postoperative small bowel position changes.

Objective:To explore the factors affecting the postoperative prognosis of early cervical squamous cell carcinoma and inves-tigate the different radiotherapy techniques. Methods:A total of 100 postoperative patients of early cervical squamous cell carcinoma treated in Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University and Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from March to September 2013 were enrolled in our study. The prognostic factors for these patients were analyzed. After being subjected to differ-ent postoperative radiotherapy techniques, the efficacy and complications of the techniques were assessed for patients, including 50 cases of conventional radiotherapy (CRT) and 50 cases of image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT). Results:The 3-year overall survival rate was 89%, and the 3-year disease-free survival rate was 78%. The 3-year overall survival rates of the CRT and IGRT groups were 78.57%and 89.06%, respectively. The difference between these rates was statistically significant (P=0.034). The 3-year survival rates of the CRT and IGRT groups were 66.67%and 87.36%, respectively. The difference was statistically significant (P=0.042). The incidence of ear-ly and late complications in the CRT group was higher than that in IGRT group, and the difference of P<0.05 was statistically significant. Multivariate analysis showed that postoperative radiotherapy, parametrial invasion, lymph node metastasis, lymphovascular space in-vasion, perineural invasion, and deep stromal invasion were the independent risk factors for the prognosis of patients with early stage cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Conclusion:Early prognosis of cervical squamous cell carcinoma results from the interaction of mul-tiple factors. The 3-year survival rate of the IGRT group was significantly better than that of the CRT group in the early stage of cervical squamous cell carcinoma. IGRT alleviates acute and chronic toxicities and helps improve the quality of life of patients.
