Abstract: Objective To understand the pollution characteristics and sources of PM2.5 in the atmosphere during heating and non-heating periods in Urumqi City in 2021, and provide scientific basis for pollution control during different periods. Method A total of 188 air samples were collected from area A and area B of Urumqi City, and 12 metal elements and 5 water-soluble ions were quantitatively analyzed, and the pollution sources were analyzed by enrichment factor method and principal component analysis method. Results In 2021, the mass concentrations of PM2.5 in areas A and B of Urumqi were 45.0 (20.0, 158) µg/m3 and 28.0 (17.5, 66.0) µg/m3, respectively, with statistically significant difference (Z=-2.870, P<0.05). During the heating period, the concentrations were 110 (68.0, 250) µg/m3 and 61.0 (31.0, 88.0) µg/m3, respectively, with no statistically significant difference (Z=-3.822, P<0.01). During the non-heating period, the concentrations were 18.0 (13.0, 22.3) µg/m3 and 18.0 (12.8, 22.0) µg/m3, respectively, with no statistically significant difference (Z=-0.596, P>0.05). The SNA (the sum of SO42-, NO3-and NH4+) accounted for 71.7% and 23.4% of PM2.5 in A area during heating and non-heating periods, respectively, with statistically significant difference (Z=-8.057, P<0.01); the corresponding proportions in B area were 60.7% and 24.9%, with statistically significant difference (Z=-6.672, P<0.01). During the heating and non-heating periods, the ratios of NO3-/SO42-are 0.63 and 0.54 in A area were 0.63 and 0.54, respectively, with statistically significant difference (Z=-2.382, P<0.05); and the corresponding ratios in B area were 0.72 and 0.53, respectively, with statistically significant difference (Z=-3.182, P<0.05). The ratio of NO3- to SO42- was less than 1 in both heating and non-heating periods in the two areas. and the correlation between five water-soluble ions was significant (P<0.05). The correlation coefficient between NH4+ and SO42-, NO3-and Cl- in A and B areas during heating periods were all >0.9, indicating that NH4+and SO42-, NO3- and Cl- bind in (NH4)2SO4, NH4HSO4, NH4NO3, and NH4Cl. During non-heating periods, the correlation between NH4+ and each ion was slightly lower. During heating periods in area A, Sb, As, Cd, Pb, and Tl were severely enriched (EF>100). During non-heating periods in the same area, As, Cd, Pb, Tl, and Hg were severely enriched (EF>100). During heating periods in area B, Sb, As, Cd, Pb, and Hg were severely enriched (EF>100), and during non-heating periods in the same area, Sb, Cd, and Hg were severely enriched (EF>100). Coal emission, photochemical secondary pollution, motor vehicle exhaust, dust and industrial pollution were the main sources of PM2.5 pollution in the two areas, and the contribution rate of fixed sources was higher than that of mobile sources. Conclusion In 2021, the mass concentration of PM2.5, water-soluble ions and metal elements in Urumqi City were higher in area A than area B, the heating period was higher than the non-heating period, the excess rate of area A was higher than that in area B, and the contribution rate of fixed air pollution was greater than that of mobile sources.

Background and purpose:Gestational trophoblastic neoplasm (GTN) is a spectrum of disease arising from trophoblastic cells, and the majority of patients with GTN have favorable outcome because of the sensi-tivity to chemotherapy. While the cure rate for high-risk patients is still 70% to 80% as a result of drug resistance and disease recurrence. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics and outcome of patients with high-risk GTN.Methods:The clinical records of patients with high-risk GTN treated in Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University from Jan. 2003 to Jan. 2013 were analyzed and reviewed retrospectively from the aspect of different treatment.Results:Fifty-one patients with high-risk GTN were admitted to this hospital. Among 51 high-risk GTN patients, 46 patients were evaluated retrospectively and 5 patients were excluded for incomplete treatments. Of the 46 patients with high-risk GTN, 27 patients were treated by chemotherapy alone, 19 patients received chemotherapy and adjuvant surgical therapy. Forty-four patients received EMA-CO (VP-16+Act-D+MTX/VCR+CTX) as a ifrst-line chemotherapy, 81.82% (36/44) had complete remission and 8 patients developed resistance to EMA-CO. EMA-EP (VP-16+Act-D+MTX/VP-16+cisplatin) was used as second-line chemotherapy for the 8 patients resistant to EMA-CO, 6 patients (2 underwent adjuvant surgical therapy) achieved remission and 2 patients died as a result of drug-resistance and disease progression. For the remaining 2 patients, one was treated by 5-FU+KSM and pulmonary resection, and the other was treated by MTX for misdiagnosis as ectopic pregnancy and then converted to EMA-CO for the pathological diagnosis of choriocarcinoma after surgery. Both of them achieved complete remission. Ultimately, 95.65% (44/46)patients achieved complete remission. Among the 19 patients who underwent adjuvant surgical therapy, 94.70% (18/19) patients achieved complete remission after chemotherapy and adjuvant surgery, and the remaining one patient died of disease progression.Conclusion:Standard combination chemotherapy is crucial in the treatment of high-risk GTN. The role of adjuvant surgery in the management of high-risk GTN should not be underestimated.

Objective To study the early diagnostic indices of melioidosis by analyzing 49 cases. Methods Unconditional logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the clinical data of 49 cases of melioidosis and 98 cases of bacterial pneumonia who were admitted in our hospital and Peoples' Hospital of Hainan Province from December 1996 to December 2007. Their social characteristic,background diseases,clinical manifestations,laboratory findings,radiologic examination and complications were studied. Results Background disease (such as diabetes),hepatosplenomegaly,septic shock,sepsis et al were the main causes of melioidosis. Conclusion Chills,fever,hepatosplenomegaly,diabetes mellitus,septic shock and sepsis are all factors that should be considered with melioidosis.
