Objective To study the method for determination of micro and trace chloroform and carbon tetrachloride in wa-ter by headspace chromatography.Methods Based on the mild solubility of chloroform and carbon tetrachloride in water,trace chloroform and carbon tetrachloride in water were analysed by static headspace gas chromatography using an OV-101chromato-graphic column.Results The better linear ranges for chloroform and carbon tetrachloride were0.00-20.0?g /L(r=0.9998)and0.00-1.00?g /L(r=0.996)respectively.The detection limits of chloroform and carbon tetrachloride were0.19?g /L and0.01?g /L respectively.The recovery rate of the method was95%-110%.Conclusion The method could be satisfactorily used for determination of chloroform and carbon tetrachloride in mineral water,well water,pure water and source-water with the advantage of less interfering factors and no secondary pollution.

Purpose:To study the relationship between expression of TGF-?_(1) and invasion and metastasis of bladder cancer.Methods:ELISA was used to examine TGF-?_(1) in serum of patients with bladder cancer.Results:Compared to the control group,TGF-?_(1) level in patients serum was higher(P

Objective To evaluate the effect of surgical trauma on the cognitive function and expression of hepcidin and ferroportin 1 (FP1) in hippocampus in aged rats.Methods One hundred male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 18 months,weighing 400-500 g,were randomly divided into 2 groups with 50 rats in each group:control group (group C) and surgical trauma group (group ST).The rats were anesthetized with chloral hydrate,but underwent no operation in group C.The rats Were anesthetized with chloral hydrate and underwent 30 min of modified exploratory laparotomy in group ST.Ten rats were chosen from each group at 24 h after operation and the cognitive function was assessed using Morris water-maze test for 6 consecutive days.Ten rats were sacrificed on 1st,3rd,5th and 7th days after beginning of Morris water-maze test and brains were removed for determination of hepcidin and FP1 expression in hippocampus by PCR and Western blot.Results Compared with group C,the escape latency was significantly prolonged,the time of staying at the original platform quadrant and frequency of crossing the original platform were decreased on 3rd,4th and 5th days after beginning of Morris water-maze test,and the expression of hepcidin was up-regulated and the expression of FP1 was down-regulated at each time point in group ST (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Surgical trauma can decrease the cognitive function in aged rats and the mechanism may be related to up-regulation of hepcidin expression and down-regulation of FP1 expression in hippocampus.

Objective To report specific clinico-radiological syndromes in neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE).Methods Ten patients with NPSLE in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from 2005 to 2011 were studied retrospectively with magnetic resonance imaging, computer tomography or positron emission tomography. Results Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome was diagnosed in 2 patients with radiological features,headache and tonic-clonic seizure;3 patients with bilateral diffuse leukoencephalopathy,cognitive disorder and acute confusional state; 1 Fahr' s disease patient,with cognitive disorder and psychiatric symptom,movement disorder; 2 Parkinsonism patients with tremor and cogwheel rigidity,and 2 chorea patients. Conclusions The emergence of diffuse brain calcinosis,leukoencephalopathy and edema may happen in lupus encephalopathy particularly.Autoantibody reaction and vascular disease may play an important role in movement disorder including Parkinsonism and chorea.

Objective To investigate the relationships between the concentration of serum NT-proBNP,New York Heart Association(NYHA) classification,left ventricular ejection fraction((LVEF),)and the value of serum NT-proBNP in the evaluation of cardiac function and the diagnosis of chronic heart failure.Methods One hundred and two subjects were selected,including 30 healthy controls and 72 patients with heart failure.The concentration of serum NT-proBNP was determined by an automated electrochemiluminescence immunoassayan Roche Elecsys 2010.LVEF was measured by the modified Simpson′s equation with echocardiography.The diagnosis of clinical physician was considered to be the golden standard for heart failure.Results The relationships between the concentration of serum NT-proBNP and NYHA,serum NT-proBNP levels(287.7 pg/ml) was significantly higher in heart failure patients(287.7 pg/ml) than that in healthy controls 287.7 pg/ml vs (46.1 pg/ml),P

Objective To investigate the safety and effectiveness of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in the surgical treatment of intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in children.Methods Between December 2015 and February 2017,the clinical and imaging data of 9 children with AVM (2-14 years) underwent hybrid surgery at the Department of Neurosurgery,Xuanwu Hospital,Capital Medical University were analyzed retrospectively.According to the Spetzler-Martin grade,there were 2 patients with grade Ⅰ,3 with grade Ⅱ,2 with grade Ⅲ,and 2 with grade Ⅳ.All the children were treated with microsurgery,and their AVMs were removed by real-time assistance using DSA technique during the operation.The imaging cure rate of surgical treatment and the complications of intraoperative angiography of the children were analyzed.The children were followed up clinically after procedure.According to the modified Rankin scale (mRS) score,their prognoses were evaluated.Results Intraoperative angiography revealed that the AVMs in 8 of 9 children were resected completely,and 1 had a residual lesion,then it was resected completely.Immediately after the resection of the nidi,the angiography confirmed that the nidi of 9 children were resected completely.No related complications caused by intraoperative angiography were observed.Nominal aphasia occurred in 1 child after procedure,and he recovered gradually after 6 months.Pulmonary infection occurred in 2 children,and they were cured after anti-infection treatments.Postoperative follow-up mRS scores were 0-1 in 8 children,2 in 1 child,and no rebleeding was observed.Conclusions In children undergoing AVM surgery,initial observation of DSA is safe and effective.Intraoperative angiography can guide the complete resection of the lesions in real time,improve the surgical cure rate of AVMs,and improve the prognosis of children.
