Objective To establish a rapid screening method for 34 emerging contaminants in surface water by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry(UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS).Methods The pretreatment conditions of solid phase extraction(SPE)were op-timized by orthogonal experimental design and the surface water samples were concentrated and ex-tracted by Oasis? HLB and Oasis? MCX SPE columns in series.The extracts were separated by Kine-tex? EVO C18 column,with gradient elution of 0.1%formic acid aqueous solution and 0.1%formic acid methanol solution.Q-TOF-MS'fullscan'and'targeted MS/MS'modes were used to detect 34 emerging contaminants and to establish a database with 34 emerging contaminants precursor ion,prod-uct ion and retention times.Results The 34 emerging contaminants exhibited good linearity in the con-centration range respectively and the correlation coefficients(r)were higher than 0.97.The limit of de-tection was 0.2-10 ng/L and the recoveries were 81.2%-119.2%.The intra-day precision was 0.78%-18.70%.The method was applied to analyze multiple surface water samples and 6 emerging contaminants were detected,with a concentration range of 1.93-157.71 ng/L.Conclusion The method is simple and rapid for screening various emerging contaminants at the trace level in surface water.

Persistent left superior vena cava(PLSVC)is a common congenital anomaly of systemic venous drainage,often draining into the right atrium without the need for special treatment.Sometimes,PLSVC drains into the left atrium,creating a right-to-left shunt,leading to reduced blood oxygen saturation and paradoxical embolism,requiring intervention.Traditional surgical ligation of PLSVC is the conventional approach for managing abnormal shunting,but it is associated with significant trauma and carries the risk of damaging the phrenic nerve.Here,we present a case of a patient with right heart dysfunction due to an untreated PLSVC-left atrium communication after corrective surgery for complex congenital heart disease,resulting in left-to-right shunting postoperatively.The patient was successfully treated by using a Plug vascular occluder via a transseptal approach to occlude the PLSVC.To our knowledge,this is the first report of successful closure of the left-to-right shunting through the heart chambers via a transseptal approach,indicating that interventional occlusion is an ideal management approach.

Low-level patent foramen ovale nonocclusion(PFO)is a rare type of PFO in which the PFO opening is low during transcatheter closure of PFO and the distance between the PFO left atrial opening and the root of the septal side of the mitral valve is less than 9 mm,and the smallest model of the current double-disk PFO occluder(18/18)commonly used in clinical practice for low-level PFOs can touch the mitral valve,resulting in increased risk of mitral regurgitation or leaflet abrasion.The risk of mitral regurgitation or leaflet abrasion is increased,and transcatheter closure of PFO procedure can only be abandoned when encountered intraoperatively.In this article,we present a case of successful transcatheter closure of a low-level PFO using the Amplatzer ADOⅡ occluder,which provides new ideas and strategies to deel wtih this rare type of PFO.

Objective To minimize variations in treatment outcomes of L5/S1 percutaneous intervertebral radiofrequency thermocoagulation(PIRFT)arising from physician proficiency and achieve precise quantitative risk assessment of the puncture paths.Methods We used a self-developed deep neural network DWT-UNet for automatic segmentation of the magnetic resonance(MR)images of the L5/S1 segments into 7 key structures:L5,S1,Ilium,Disc,N5,Dura mater,and Skin,based on which a needle insertion path planning environment was modeled.Six hard constraints and 6 soft constraints were proposed based on clinical criteria for needle insertion,and the physician's experience was quantified into weights using the analytic hierarchy process and incorporated into the risk function for needle insertion paths to enhance individual case adaptability.By leveraging the proposed skin entry point sampling sub-algorithm and Kambin's triangle projection area sub-algorithm in conjunction with the analytic hierarchy process,and employing various technologies such as ray tracing,CPU multi-threading,and GPU parallel computing,a puncture path was calculated that not only met clinical hard constraints but also optimized the overall soft constraints.Results A surgical team conducted a subjective evaluation of the 21 needle puncture paths planned by the algorithm,and all the paths met the clinical requirements,with 95.24%of them rated excellent or good.Compared with the physician's planning results,the plans generated by the algorithm showed inferior DIlium,DS1,and Depth(P<0.05)but much better DDura,DL5,DN5,and AKambin(P<0.05).In the 21 cases,the planning time of the algorithm averaged 7.97±3.73 s,much shorter than that by the physicians(typically beyond 10 min).Conclusion The multi-constraint optimal puncture path planning algorithm offers an efficient automated solution for PIRFT of the L5/S1 segments with great potentials for clinical application.

Objective To investigate the differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells after neural injury utilizing Sox10 cell lineage tracing in the cortical tissue.Methods C57BL/6 mice and Sox10-CreERT2/red fluorescent protein(RFP)model mice were used in the current study.The Sox10-CreERT2/RFP model mice generated by crossing Sox10-CreERT2 and Ai9 were 8-week-old F1 mice(n=16),which were randomly divided into control group(n=4)and 7 days(n=4),14 days(n=4),and 30 days feed groups(n=4).Tamoxifen(TAM)was used to induce the expression of RFP.The control group received tamoxifen dissolved in sunflower seed oil by gavage(40 mg/kg once daily for three consecutive days)and the brain tissues were obtained after 4 days.The feed group mice were fed with tamoxifen-containing feed to induce RFP expression,and the brain tissues were obtained after 7,14,and 30 days,respectively.Immunofluorescent staining was performed to detect the expressions of neuronal nuclei(NeuN),microtubule-associated protein 2(MAP2),phosphorylated histone 2AX(γ-H2AX),cluster of differentiation 13(CD 13),γ-aminobutyric acid(GABA),glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP),cluster of differentiation 11b(CD11b),vesicular glutamate transporter 2(VGLUT2),and adenomatous polyposis coli(APC,CC-1)in the brains of each group mice.The number of positive cells was counted,and the proportion was calculated.Eight-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into wild type(WT)group(n=4)and WT+TAM group(n=4).They were fed with regular feed and tamoxifen-containing feed for 30 days,respectively,and then brain tissues were obtained.Immunofluorescent double-labeling was used to detect the expressions of γ-H2AX positive neurons in the cortex of mice in both groups.Results In the control group,feed 7 days,14 days,and 30 days groups,the proportions of RFP+pericytes among all RFP+cells in the cortical tissue were(0.8±0.1)%,(2.7±0.1)%,(3.2±0.1)%,(4.0±0.1)%,respectively,and the proportion of mature oligodendrocytes(CC-1+RFP+)in the feed 7 days group was(51.2±0.7)%.The proportions of RFP-positive neurons in the cortex after 14 and 30 days of tamoxifen feed were(0.7±0.1)%and(1.5±0.1)%,respectively,while no conversion to RFP-positive neurons was observed in the gavage group and 7 days feed group.RFP cells in the cortex of the 7 days or 30 days feed group did not express GFAP or CD11b.Extensive γ-H2AX+NeuN+staining was observed in the WT group and WT+TAM group.Conclusion Long-term administration of tamoxifen can promote the differentiation of Sox10 cells into pericytes and neurons.Further investigation into the role of OPC in the neurovascular unit repair mechanism may contribute to a better understanding of the pathogenesis underlying AD.
