Objective To understand the effects of drinking water and source water on DNA breakage of human peripheral blood lymphocytes (HPBL). Methods The organic compounds in drinking water and source water were adsorbed by GDX_102 resin for solid phase of gas choromatography. DNA damages of lymphocytes were detected by single cell gel electrophoresis. Results At the same exposure doses to organic extracts of water, the DNA damages of HPBL exposed to organic extracts of surface water were heavier than those exposed to organic extracts of deep underground water, and heavier DNA damages were also observed in HPBL exposed to organic extracts of finished water from water plant treating ground source water compared with those exposed to organic extracts of finished water from water plant treating deep underground source water. Significant dose_response relationships were observed between the exposure doses of organic extracts of water samples and the degrees of DNA damages of HPBL. Conclusion The organic extracts of source water samples collected from surface water and ground water and its tap water samples could cause DNA breakages of HPBL in different degrees in a certain city.

Bipolar disorder is a common, highly disabling psychiatric disorder characterized by early onset, frequent episodes, high suicide risk, and chronic outcomes, and is associated with severe social dysfunction. The pathogenesis of bipolar disorder is still unclear, and current studies mainly focus on circadian rhythm abnormalities, including rhythm gene mutation, polymorphism, abnormal kinase expression, and rhythm abnormalities in neurotransmitter secretion and transport. It has been found that at any stage of bipolar disorder, whether prodrome, episode, or remission, patients exhibit circadian rhythm disruptions, including disrupted sleep-wake cycles, hormonal phase abnormalities, and irregular social rhythms. Based on this mechanism, the time therapy, such as light therapy, dark therapy, sleep deprivation and behavioral intervention, can rapidly improve the circadian rhythm of patients with bipolar disorder, achieve the goal of rapid relief of symptoms, with fewer side effects, low risk of switching to manic. In this paper, circadian rhythm mechanism, clinical manifestations and chronotherapy of bipolar disorder are reviewed to provide a basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To explore the risk factors of cognitive impairment in rural elderly patients from Changzhi urban. Methods Totally 118 elderly patients were examined with minimental state examination (MMSE). The common data and histories of coronary heart disease,hypertension,diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were collected. Results The prevalence of cognitive impairment was 14.4%.Multivariate analysis showed that MMSE scores was associated with age,stroke history,homocysteine and low density lipoprotein(LDL-C) (x2 =21.166,19.323,13.672,3.698,P<0.01 or P<0.05),and cognitive impairment was not associated with gender,alive spouse,hypertension,coronary heart disease, diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(P>0.05).Age(OR=0.853,95% CI:0.765-0.951),stroke history(OR=0.764,95% CI:0.629-0.929),LDL-C (OR =0.208,95% CI:0.062-0.701 ) and activities of daily living (ADL)(OR=0.839,95% CI:0.725-0.972)were independent risk factors of cognitive impairment in rural elderly patients. Conclusions Age,stroke and LDL-C are independent risk factors for rural elderly patients in the community.

BACKGROUND: Primary progressive aphasia(PPA) is a degenerative disease of nervous system, which is very rare in clinics. Only 3 cases have been reported in our country. There is very little clinical information regarding the characteristics of PPA in linguistics and imageology.OBJECTIVE: To report the language disorder and the characteristics of imageology of one PPA patient for the clarification of the clinical features of PPA.DESIGN: A case analysis.SETTING: Department of Neurology, Beijing Tiantan Hospital; Faculty of Psychology, Beijing Normal University.PATICIPANT: Male, 56 years old, senior high school graduate, businessman before the onset of the disease. The case visited the department of Neurology,Tiantan Hospital, Beijing due to the complaint of three years of progressive decreasing in language skills, which was then diagnosed with PPA.METH ODS: Spoken language fluency evaluation in Chinese Aphasia Examination Set of the First Affiliated Hospital of Beijing Medical University was used to evaluate this patient, the type of Aphasia was judged by Western Aphasia Examination Set, and the severity gradation was classified by the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination(BDAE) . Memory, intelligence screening and imageology examination were performed as well.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The fluency of spoken language, the type of aphasia, and the severity of aphasia of the patient were judged, and whether the patient suffered from memory and intelligence disorder were observed as well as the features of imageology.RESULTS: The patient had fluent spoken language, which was evaluated as sensory aphasia(SA) with the aphasia severity of level 4, and had no memory or intelligence disorder. MRI showed atrophy in left frontal lobe and temporal lobe, which was more significant in left side. MRI also showed that left temporal and frontal lobes had low metabolism and low perfusion.CONCLUSION: PPA is a disease with language disorder as its dominant clinical manifestation, which no other cognitive disorder at its initial stage,and with its main pathological changes in left temporal and frontal lobes.

Objective; To evaluate the influence of electrolyte's concentration at micro-arc oxide treatment on the bonding strength of titanium to porcelain. Methods; CP titanium specimens with size of 25 mm ×3 mm ×0. 5 mm were treated with micro-arc oxidation (MAO) in Na_2SiO_3 solution of three different concentrations. After ultra-low-fusing porcelain was applied, a three-point-flexure-test was used to evaluate the bonding strength of titanium to porcelain. The surface of the specimens was observed by SEM and EDS, as well as the interface between titanium and porcelain. Results; The bonding strength values between titanium treated with MAO and porcelain was significantly higher then the control groups, Croup 20 g/L has the highest bonding strength values. SEM/EDS suggested that a porous thin layer of oxide which contains Si element is created by MAO, and higher concentration of Na_2SiO_3 leads to more Si element in oxide. Conclusion; MAO treating can improve the bonding strength between titanium and ceramic. Electrolyte's concentration has an effect on the bond strength between titanium and porcelain.

n-Octanol/ water partition coefficients (Kow ) is an important parameter commonly used to explain toxicity, activity and transmembrane of drugs. However, it is difficult to be detected by direct experimental determination. In this work, a set of 29 neutral and acidic analogues of naphthalene and anthraquinone with reliable experimental Kow data was chosen as model compounds for establishing linear relationship between the logarithm of apparent n-octanol/ water partition coefficient (lgKow), and the logarithm of reversed phase-high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) retention factor of the solutes corresponding to neat aqueous fraction of mobile phase (lgkw ) as the quantitative structure-retention relationship (QSRR) model. Methanol-water mixture was used as mobile phase at various pH, and retention time (tR ) was rectified by a dual-point retention time correction (DP-RTC) in this method. The experiment results indicated that the proposed QSRR model had good correlation coefficient R2 = 0. 974 -0. 976 with satisfactory results of internal and external validation (the cross-validated correlation coefficient R2cv of 0. 970-0. 973, and 1. 4% ≤relative error (RE)≤7. 9% for all the 6 verification compounds). In addition, this QSRR model was compared with linear solvation energy relationship ( LSER) involved in different descriptors of molecular structure, showing no differences. The QSRR model was applied to measure Kow of 11 naphthalenes and anthraquinones, and the predicted data were compared with Shake-flask method (SFM) experimental ones, as well as calculated ones obtained by software. The results suggested that the proposed method for Kow determination in this work was more accurate, simple and fast. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on measuring Kow data for these compounds. The proposed strategy provides the possibility in determining Kow of lipophilic components in complex mixture more quickly and accurately by RP-HPLC.
