Objective This study focused on the preparation of air plasma-activated water and its application in the field of disinfection.By developing single-layer and double-layer dielectric barrier discharge(DBD)devices,we aimed to prepare plasma-activated liquid with high-efficiency disinfection ability.Methods We constructed single-layer and double-layer DBD devices using air as the working gas to generate activated water.The plasma temperature variation,discharge process and emission spectrum were captured and analyzed by a thermal imager,a time-resolved enhanced camera and a high-resolution spectrometer to evaluate the efficient energy conversion and particle excitation capabilities of the device.In addition,disinfection experiments were conducted on typical microorganisms such as Bacillus subtilis,Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus to verify the disinfection effect of the activation solution.Results We adjusted the plasma treatment time for accurate disinfection of typical microorganisms such as Bacillus subtilis,Escherichia coli,and Staphylococcus aureus.Compared with a single-layer DBD device,the double-layer DBD device could produce higher concentrations of reactive species,significantly improving the disinfection effect of the activated liquid.Conclusion By using the air plasma activated water technology,an activated solution with highly efficient disinfection capability was successfully prepared.This study not only improves the disinfection efficiency,but also has potential environmental friendliness and economy,which provides a scientific basis and technical support for the application of plasma technology in the field of disinfection.

This article reports a case data of primary malignant melanoma of the penis admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University. A 56-year-old patient was admitted to the hospital 1 month after the discovery of a penile mass. Physical examination: An irregular cauliflower-like mass about 1.5 cm×2.0 cm in size was seen below the external urethral orifice, covered with yellow necrotic tissue, and tenderness was positive. Several nodes were palpable in the left and right groin areas, tenderness positive. Laboratory examination showed no abnormality. The CT examination of head, chest, abdomen and pelvis showed no obvious abnormality. The biopsy of the penile mass showed malignant melanoma of the penis. The pathological results of biopsy of the right inguinal lymph node considered local inflammation. Combined with the patient's medical history, physical examination, imaging examination and lymph node biopsy results, a diagnosis of primary penile malignant melanoma was made. Partial penile resection was performed, and the postoperative pathological diagnosis was malignant melanin invasion of the epidermis with ulceration. There was no local recurrence and metastasis during the 9-month follow-up.

Objective:To study the impact of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocellular carcinoma (ICC) who underwent surgical resection with or without lymph node dissection (LND), negative or positive lymph node metastasis detected by LND, different extents of LND, and prognostic factors on long-term prognosis of these patients.Methods:The clinical data of 162 patients who were admitted to the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June 2014 to October 2019 and underwent surgical resection with postoperative histopathological results confirming ICC were retrospectively analyzed. According to the degree of LND, these patients were divided into three groups: the undissected group ( n=68), N0 dissected group (prophylactic dissection) ( n=41) and N1 dissected group (positive dissection, n=53). Of 94 patients who underwent LND, 23 patients underwernt the first station LND (the routine dissection group, n=23), and 71 patients underwent extended LND (the extended dissection group, n=71). The Kaplan-Meier method was used to construct survival curves. Cox regression analysis was used to detect independent factors affecting survival and long-term prognosis of patients. Results:In this study, there were 87 males and 75 females, with a median age of 60 years.The median survival time of these 162 ICC patients was 10 months. The cumulative survival rates at 1-, 3- and 5-year after surgery were 37.6%, 16.5% and 7.9%, respectively. The 1-, 3- and 5-year cumulative survival rates of the N0 dissection group were 52.1%, 31.7% and 25.4%, respectively, which were significantly better than those of the undissected group (34.2%, 12.7%, 3.4%), and the N1 dissection group (30.3%, 11.4%, 0) ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in postoperative survival between the extended dissection group and the routine dissection group ( P>0.05). Preoperative CA19-9 >50 U/ml ( RR=1.425, 95% CI: 0.962-2.112), maximum tumor diameter > 5 cm ( RR=0.672, 95% CI: 0.456-0.989), without LND ( RR=1.715, 95% CI: 1.140-2.580), positive margin ( RR=0.591, 95% CI: 0.390-0.897), and without postoperative adjuvant therapy ( RR=0.663, 95% CI: 0.504-0.872) were independent risk factors affecting postoperative survival ( P<0.05). Conclusions:LND in ICC patients improved long-term survival outcomes. However, extended LND did not improve prognosis of these patients. The preoperative CA19-9 level, maximum tumor diameter, lymph node dissection, surgical margin status, and postoperative adjuvant therapy were independent risk factors affecting long-term prognosis of these patients.
