Acta Nutrimenta Sinica 1956;0(03):-
Objective: The method for separation by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) and electrochemical determination of organic acids in fruit juices was developed. Method: In this system, 0.2mmol/L cetylpyridinium bromide (CPB) was used as an electro osmotic flow (EOF) modifier to reverse the direction of EOF. cyclodexfrin ( -CD) was added into running buffer to improve the separation efficiency. Then, the optimal separation conditions were achieved and successfully employed to separate six organic acids, including oxalic, malic, tartaric, succinic, fumaric acid and citric acids. One nano palladium modified carbon paste electrode was used for determination. Results: The calibration curves for all organic acids studied were linear with 2-3 orders (1 10–6-1.0 10–3 mol/L) of magnitude and all the detection limits (S/N=3) were below 2 mol/L. The RSD was between 1.05%-2.15% , and recovery was 93.4% . Conclusion: CZE separation combined with electrochemical detection is suitable for simultaneous determination of organic acids in fruit juices quickly with high sensitivity and selectivity.

OBJECTIVE: Researches on total hip replacements are always the hot spots in recent years. The replacements have obtained satisfactory outcomes in clinic. However, the long-term effect is limited because of the material and technical problems. This paper is to summarize the developmental trend and the prospect of clinical application for total hip replacements in 10 years.DATA SOURCES: A computer-based online search of Medline database was undertaken to identify relevant articles published in English from January 1996 to January 2006 by using the keywords of "total hip replacements, surgical robot, tissue engineering, virtual endoscopy". Meanwhile,Chinese relevant articles published from January 1990 to December 2005 were searched in Wanfang database, the keywords were "total hip replacements, material, virtual endoscopy, surgical robot, tissue engineering" in Chinese.STUDY SELECTION: The articles were primarily checked, and the references in each literature were reviewed. Articles about the study on total hip replacements were involved; Meanwhile, the repetitive studies or Meta analysis were excluded.DATA EXTRACTION: Totally 39 relevant articles were collected, and 22 of them accorded with the. Inclusive criteria, 17 old or repetitive ones were excluded. Of the 22 articles, 5 were about the influence of artificial joint material on prosthetic loosening and its carcinogenesis; 2 about the microinvasion of joint replacement induced by computer-aided surgery navigation; 1 about the introduction of surgical robot; 3 about the development of custom-made and specially made artificial joint; 9 about the possibility for the surface replacement of hip; and 2 about the combination of tissue engineering technique and artificial joint.DATA SYNTHESIS: Modern researches on total hip replacements are exploring wearing tolerant prosthesis to reduce the prosthetic loosening caused by osteolysis and bone resorption. The computer-aided design/made technique is used for special design and manufacture according to the need of disease, so as to solve the fracture around prosthesis and meet the need of limb salvage surgery. The computer-aided surgery navigation realizes the microinvasion of joint replacement and the fast recovery after surgery. The successful rate of total hip replacements is improved by developing localized surgical robot in China. By using the virtual endoscopy, we can accurately know the damaged conditions of intraarticular cartilage and sub-cartilage bone, which are also able to be quantifized, so that more suitable and reliable prosthesis can be selected to increase the accuracy. The tissue engineering technique in repairing defect can increase the synostosis of prosthesis, and perfect the technique of joint replacement.CONCLUSION: In the coming 10 years, total hip replacements will develop towards stability, harmlessness, microinvasion, mechanization, individualization and diversification, so that the total hip replacements will be much stander and safer with higher successful rate.

Objective To investigate the effect of vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) technology on prevention and treatment of infection wound and to repair the infectious fracture wound in earthquake. Methods Twenty-two patients with limb fractures and open infection wound received VSD from May 12, 2008 to June 19, 2008 in West China Hospital of Sichuan University. Before the VSD, we debrided all wounds and gave effective systemic antibiotics. A -18 ~ - 14 kPa pressure was exerted to the wound, and the VSD was used for 8 ~ 10 days. We took a germiculture regularly. The capacity, color, and nature of negative pressure drainage, the regression of limb swelling, and systemic inflammatory responses were observed. Results There was no active bleeding wound or transparent film off in all patients. Three patients had drainage clogging, and were kept flowing freely using the sterile saline pipe to remove the blockage of necrotic tissues. During the VSD, granulation tissues grew well in the 13 patients with bone exposure of the wounded. Two patients whose symptom of inflammatory was not obviousy eased had another debridement to completely remove the necrosis, and the symptom was relieved. After 3-5 days of VSD, swelling and fever in the other 20 patients significantly subsided. Conclusion VSD can alleviate the wound inflammation, facilitate the growth of the fresh granulation tissue from the surrounding to the center, and reduce the flap transfer area for the Stage Ⅱ coverage of the exposed bone.

A simple and reliable electroanalytical method for the fast determination of aluminum in natural and drinking waters by a. c. oscillopolarography using solochrome violet RS(SVRS) is described. The alkaline buffer solution used was 0.85 mol/L NH3·H2O- NH4 Cl(pH 8.8) containing 5 × 10-5 mol/L SVRS. A sensitive incision due to the redox reaction of Al-SVRS complex adsorption wave on the Hg-film electrode was observed on the dE/dtE oscillogram at - 1.05 V. The incision depth was linearly proportional to the A1 concentration in the range of 1 ×10-7 ~6 × 10-6 mol/L. No serious interference was found. The detection limit of this method was 5 × 10-8 mol/L,and the relative standard deviation was 5.5% for 2 × 10-7 mol/L Al ( n = 10). This method was successfully applied to the determination Al in 22 real samples. The results were found to be in good agreement with those obtained by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry.
