A cadmium column reduction-azo dyes spectrophotometric method based on micro sequential injection lab-on-valve was established for the determination of total nitrogen in seawater. The experimental parameters were optimized, and the interference experiment was carried out. The results showed that the interference of the main components and salinity in sea water could be eliminated by using a series of standard solution prepared by national standard seawater with certain salinity. The concentration of total nitrogen in seawater was linear with the absorbance in the range of 0 . 03-1 . 00 mg/L with a correlation coefficient of 0. 9993. When determining the national standard seawater at nitrogen concentration of 0. 20 mg/L, the relative standard deviation (RSD) was 4. 9%, the detection limit was 0. 010 mg/L, and the recoveries were 99. 5%-101 . 1%. There were not significance differences between the results of this method and national standard method in the t-test analysis. The method is suitable for the determination of total nitrogen in seawater.

Objective:To develop a novel posterior circulation score (PCS) based on pretreatment diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for predicting futile recanalization (FR) of acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO) after endovascular therapy (EVT).Methods:A prospectively registered consecutive cohort of BAO patients treated with EVT in Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University during a six-year period was reviewed. This novel DWI-based PCS (DWI-PCS) was calculated according to the characteristics of acute infarction at four sites (pons, midbrain, thalamus and cerebellum), with a normal score of 0 point and a full score of 16 points. FR was defined as the occurrence of poor outcome (modified Rankin Scale score>3) at 90 days despite successful recanalization (modified Thrombolysis In Cerebral Infarction ≥ 2b) at final angiogram after EVT. The independent association of DWI-PCS with FR was evaluated by multivariable Logistic regression, and the predictive discrimination of DWI-PCS was measured by the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Additionally, the effects of DWI-PCS on FR in different subgroups stratified by age, time window, stroke severity and etiology were explored.Results:Of 109 patients in this study, 48 (44.0%) suffered from FR. The multivariable Logistic analysis showed that DWI-PCS was significantly associated with FR (adjusted OR=1.31, 95% CI 1.07-1.62, P=0.01). The ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the area under the curve of DWI-PCS for predicting FR was 0.74 (95% CI 0.65-0.83), and the optimal cut-off value was ≥ 3 points (sensitivity 0.75, specificity 0.66, accuracy 0.70). Finally, the effects of DWI-PCS on FR were not found to be different across all subgroups ( P>0.10 for all interactions). Conclusions:The novel DWI-PCS may be a valid and reliable predictor of FR in BAO patients treated with EVT. Nevertheless, external validation with blinded outcome is still needed to confirm its performance before clinical application.
