A new approach, combining microwave digestion and sensitive determination of selenium by a normal-phase high performance liquid chromatography after derivatization with 2,3-diamino-naphthalene was proposed to the measurements of trace selenium concentration in natural waters. Two digestions systems, I.e. HNO3 and H2SO4-H2O2, were evaluated and their working conditions were optimized. Under optimal conditions, this approach provides a detection limit of 7.2 pg (with HNO3) or 10.4 pg (with H2SO4-H2O2), a recovery of 99.1%~103.4%, as well as a linear range of 0~1.5 ng Se(Ⅳ). The approach was applied to determine Se concentration in 4 different types of environmental waters (sample volume: 2 mL) and the concentration levels of 0.20~0.90 μg/L were found, with recoveries of 99.1%~103.4% by standard addition.

Objective To investigate the effects of different doses of dexmedetomidine and propofol on electrocorticography (ECoG)during epileptic resection.Methods One hundred cases of epileptic patients undergoing epileptic resection were randomized into five groups (n=20 cases).Af-ter exposure of the cortex,patients were allocated to propofol group or dexmedetomidine group,the propofol were injected intravenously with different target-controlled-infusion (TCI)concentrations at 1.5 μg/ml (group C1),5.0 μg/ml (group C2)respectively.The dexmedetomidine were injected with a loading dose of 0.5 μg/kg within 1 5 min,then followed by a speed of 0.25 μg·kg-1 ·h-1 (group D1 ),0.5 μg·kg-1 ·h-1 (group D2),and 1.0 μg·kg-1 ·h-1 (group D3)respectively.After 1 5 min of steady infusion,the characteristics of ECoG were recorded.Results Compared with the other four groups,the epileptic spike-wave,αandβwaves were significantly decreased,whileδwave was significantly increased in group C2 (P < 0.05 ).Sometimes burst-suppression-patterns were recorded under propofol. With the dose of dexemedetomidine increasing in groups D1,D2,D3,the epileptic spike-wave,αwave andβwave gradually decreased,while δwave gradually increased (P <0.05).Conclusion Propofol produces dose-dependent inhibition on ECoG,but the epileptic spike-wave still can be differentiated if the plasma con-centration lower than 1.5 μg/ml.Compared with propofol,dexmedetomidine injected with 0.25-0.5 μg· kg-1 ·h-1 ,has few disturbance on epileptic spike-wave differentiation and location during ECoG monito-ring,and is more eligible for epileptic resection anesthesia.

Objective To prevent the occurrence of postoperative delirium after endoscopic surgery in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Methods A total of 370 BPH patients receiving endoscopic surgery in our hospital were involved in this study. The clinical parameters including age, other systemic diseases, operation method, operation time and postoperative pain were investigated as predictive risk factors. Then the data were dealt by χ~2 test, single factor analysis or multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results Postoperative delirium occurred in 19 cases (5. 1%). Univariate analysis demonstrated that many factors were significantly correlated with the postoperative delirium in elderly patients, such as age (χ~2 = 7. 37, P<0. 05), other systemic diseases (χ~2=10.26, P<0.05), operation time (χ~2 = 19. 87, P<0.05) and postoperative pain (χ~2= 4.99, P<0. 05). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age (OR = 5. 38, P< 0.05), other systemic diseases (OR = 4. 97, P<0. 05) and operation time (OR = 6. 53, P<0. 05) were important factors for postoperative delirium. Conclusions Paying more attention to the advanced age, giving sufficient preoperative preparation and reducing operation time may help to prevent postoperative delirium.

Objective To comparatively analyze Toxoplasma gondii separated from HIV-positive people and RH strain GRA6 gene. Methods By using the nested PCR the amplification of Dali HIV-positive blood samples and RH strains of Toxo-plasma GRA6 genome was performed. The GRA6 gene amplification positive product was selected and the electrophoresis imag-ing was performed by being digested with the Mse I endonuclease and the gene sequences were measured and analyzed. Re-sults The GRA6 gene fragment 800 bp was successfully amplified and about 600 bp and 200 bp bands were got by Mse I. The sequencing results showed that T. gondii GRA6 gene positive samples had 2 nucleotide variation compared with T. gondii strain RH namely 447 base pair at C becoming G and 623 base pair at G becoming T. At 146 bp and 690 bp the Mse I restric-tion sites TTAA were found. Conclusion The preliminary judgment shows that the Dali HIV-positive T. gondii genotype is consistent with RH strain belonging to genotype I.

BACKGROUND:Pain is the main clinical manifestation for ankylosing spondylitis. At present, nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs are oral y taken, but the effects are limited and toxic and side effects are more. Thus, there is no effective scheme for treatment of pain induced by ankylosing spondylitis.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the correlation between postoperative joint pain al eviation and al ogeneic blood transfusion, and the mechanisms.
METHODS:We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 88 ankylosing spondylitis patients combined with kyphosis who received only one section of osteotomy surgery merging hip joint pain. We compared the visual analog scale score of hip joint and detected the variation of leucocytes, lymphocytes and immunoglobulin concentrations before and after the operation in the groups of fresh al ogeneic whole blood transfusion, autologous whole blood transfusion, and mixed transfusion of al ogeneic and autologous whole blood. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the number and ratio of peripheral blood Th17 cells and Treg cells which were both highly associated with autoimmune diseases.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The symptom of hip arthralgia obviously improved in both groups transfused by fresh al ogeneic whole blood or al ogeneic-autologous mixed whole blood. However, no obvious variation was detected in leucocytes, lymphocytes and immunoglobin concentration. However, flow cytometry results indicated that Th17/Treg proportion associated with autoimmune diseases was increased remarkably in peripheral blood of ankylosing spondylitis patients. Results suggested that al ogeneic whole blood transfusion can al eviate patients’ joint pain by correcting the imbalance of Th17/Treg which may improve their immune state.

Objective:To understand the current status of existential distress in patients with advanced lung cancer and analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide a reference for developing targeted intervention programs.Methods:A total of 320 patients with advanced lung cancer were selected using convenience sampling from two Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in Weifang between February 2022 and August 2023. The data were collected using a General Information Questionnaire, the Chinese Version of the Existential Distress Scale (EDS), the Social Support Revalued Scale (SSRS), the Chinese Version of the Strategies Used by People to Promote Health (SUPPH), and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Spearman correlation analysis was conducted to analyze the relationships between EDS, SSRS, SUPPH, and PHQ-9 scores, and multiple linear regression analysis was used to identify the influencing factors of existential distress in patients with advanced lung cancer. A total of 320 questionnaires were distributed, with 318 valid responses, yielding a valid response rate of 99.38% (318/320) .Results:The total EDS score for the 318 patients was 3.00 (2.00, 4.00). EDS scores were positively correlated with PHQ-9 scores and negatively correlated with SSRS and SUPPH scores ( P<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that marital status, social support, self-management efficacy, and depression were influencing factors of existential distress in patients with advanced lung cancer ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Patients with advanced lung cancer experience mild existential distress. Medical staff should assess existential distress levels, paying close attention to patients who are divorced or widowed, have low levels of social support and self-management efficacy, or are experiencing depression. Early interventions should be developed to alleviate negative emotions and help patients rebuild their sense of meaning, thereby improving psychological well-being and reducing survival distress.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost-utility of benmelstobart combined with anlotinib and chemotherapy as first-line treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) from the perspective of China’s healthcare system. METHODS Based on the data from the ETER 701 study, a partitioned survival model was constructed with a cycle of 3 weeks to simulate the total cost, quality-adjusted life years (QALY), and incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) over 10 years for patients with ES- SCLC treated with benmelstobart plus anlotinib and chemotherapy, or chemotherapy alone. One-way sensitivity analysis and probability sensitivity analysis were performed to verify the robustness of the simulation results. The willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold was set at 3 times the per capita gross domestic product (GDP) of China in 2023, which amounted to 268 074 yuan/QALY. RESULTS Compared with chemotherapy alone, benmelstobart combined with anlotinib and chemotherapy gained 0.438 QALY more at the cost of 403 505.55 yuan more, with an ICER of 922 031.37 yuan/QALY, which was higher than the WTP threshold set in this study. One-way sensitivity analysis showed that benmelstobart’s cost and utility value of the progression-free survival state had a greater impact on the ICER value; probabilistic sensitivity analysis confirmed the robustness of the model; only when the price of benmelstobart was reduced by 75.4%, the combined regimen would be cost-effective. CONCLUSIONS The first-line treatment of ES-SCLC with benmelstobart combined with anlotinib and chemotherapy is not cost-effective from the perspective of China’s healthcare system at present.
