Enhanced generation of reactive oxygen species and photocatalytic activity by Pt-based metallic nanostructures: the composition matters

The modification of semiconductor nanostructures with metallic nanocomponents can promote the separation of electron/hole from photoexited semiconductors by forming heterojunctions, thus exhibit enhanced photocatalytic activities and potential applications. In this study, Pt-based NPs, including Pt, PtCu, and PtCuCo are employed as model co-catalysts to comparatively study their capability to enhance the photocatalytic activity of TiO₂ nanosheets. It was found that each of Pt, PtCu, and PtCuCo can greatly enhance the photocatalytic activity of TiO₂ toward degradation of organic dyes. Using electron spin resonance spectroscopy, we demonstrated that deposition of Pt-based NPs resulted in more production of reactive oxygen species including hydroxyl radicals, superoxide, and singlet oxygen. The enhancing effects of Pt-based NPs on generation of ROS and photocatalytic activity showed same trend: PtCuCo?>?PtCu?>?Pt. The mechanism underlying the enhancement differences in Pt-based NPs may be mainly related to electronic structure change of Pt in alloying with Cu and Co. These results are valuable for designing hybrid nanomaterials with high photocatalytic efficiency for applications in water purification and antibacterial products.     

针药并用治疗双心疾病的应用

随着对于双心疾病研究的加深,西医疗法的弊端也开始显现。而中医因其理论架构中早就有对于“心主血脉”和“心主神明”的认识,因此在双心疾病的治疗上有着先天的优势。同时近些年中医疗法的结合应用也取得不错的成绩,本文通过对于双心疾病的病例分析,来研讨这种治疗手段的合理性和先进性。     

关节镜联合关节牵张成形术治疗踝关节创伤性关节炎

目的对比分析单纯关节镜手术与关节镜手术联合Ilizarov外固定架关节牵张术治疗踝关节创伤性关节炎的临床疗效。 方法纳入2016年10月至2018年4月聊城市中医医院收治的早中期踝关节创伤性关节炎患者30例，排除非创伤性关节炎和终末期踝关节炎。其中接受单纯踝关节镜手术者纳入对照组(n＝15)，接受关节镜手术联合Ilizarov外固定架关节牵张成形术者纳入研究组(n＝15)，术后随访6个月，对比分析两组患者的治疗效果：疼痛视觉模拟评分(VAS)、踝关节功能评分(Kofoed评分)以及生活质量的变化。计数资料比较采用卡方或Fisher精确检验，计量资料比较采用独立样本t检验。 结果研究组治疗有效率大于对照组(χ²＝7.214，P<0.05)，术后疼痛视觉模拟评分明显低于对照组(t ＝10.342，P<0.05)，Kofoed评分高于对照组(t ＝10.452，P<0.05)；研究组生活质量显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。 结论关节镜手术联合关节牵张成形术对早中期踝关节创伤性关节炎较单纯关节镜手术短期效果更好，可成为临床治疗中的一种选择，但远期效果尚需进一步研究。

Comparison of the practicability of ultrasound and spiral computed tomography in the diagnosis of colon cancer: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis

Background:Colon cancer is a common malignant tumor of the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, a clear diagnosis is particularly important for the treatment of colon cancer. Ultrasound and spiral computed tomography (CT) can both be used in the diagnosis, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages, which could cause confusion in clinical choice. The purpose of this study was to systematically evaluate the practicability of spiral CT and ultrasound in the diagnosis of colon cancer.Methods:A systematic search was performed by retrieving on English databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library) and Chinese databases (CNKI, Wanfang, Weipu [VIP], CBM). Besides, manually search for Google and Baidu academic of diagnostic experimental study of ultrasound and spiral CT in the diagnosis of Colon Cancer. The retrieval time limit was from the establishment of the database to October 2020. Two researchers independently extracted and evaluated the quality of the data in the included study. A meta-analysis was performed using Meta Disc1.4 and RevMan5.3 software.Results:Sensitivity, specificity, positive Likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, and diagnostic odds ratio were used to determine the diagnostic efficacy of ultrasonography and helical CT in colorectal cancer.Conclusions:This study will compare the practicability of CT and ultrasound in the diagnosis of colon cancer and provide reliable evidence-based basis for clinicians to choose the appropriate or best evidence-based basis.Ethics and dissemination:The private information from individuals will not be published. This systematic review also will not involve endangering participant rights. Ethical approval is not required. The results may be published in a peer-reviewed journal or disseminated in relevant conferences.OSF Registration number:DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/WAJHQ

Dexamethasone treatment attenuates early seawater instillation-induced acute lung injury in rabbits.

There is very little evidence on the value of giving corticoids in cases of seawater drowning induced acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS). Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether dexamethasone treatment can attenuate seawater instillation-induced acute lung injury in rabbits. Seawater (4 ml/kg body weight) was instilled into the lower trachea of ventilated, anesthetized rabbits. Then these rabbits were assigned randomly 20 min later to receive intravenous injection of 1mg/kg body weight of dexamethasone (dissolving in 2 ml of normal saline) or 2 ml of normal saline. All animals demonstrated immediate drops in arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) and the total thoracic compliance, which were significantly improved after 2 h of dexamethasone treatment. Histopathological study also indicated that dexamethasone treatment markedly attenuated lung histopathological changes, alveolar hemorrhage and inflammatory cells infiltration with evidence of decreasing of myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) concentration in lung tissue. In addition, dexamethasone treatment reduced extravascular lung water and lung epithelial-endothelial barrier permeability, up-regulated the expression of surfactant protein-A (SP-A) and alpha-epithelial Na+ channel, and increased Na+/K+-adenosine triphosphatase (Na+/K+-ATPase) activity and Na+/K+-ATPase-alpha1 protein abundance. Thus, these data indicate that dexamethasone treatment might be of benefit in patients with seawater aspiration-induced ALI.     

抑郁症患者血浆孤啡肽含量研究

目的为探讨抑郁症的可能病因,对抑郁症患者血浆孤啡肽(OFQ)含量进行了对照研究。方法抽取29例抑郁症患者和24例正常人的静脉血,用放射免疫(RIA)的方法分别测其血浆中OFQ含量,比较抑郁症患者和正常人血浆OFQ含量有无差异,抑郁症患者OFQ含量与汉密顿抑郁量表(HAMD)评分的相关性,及抑郁症患者血浆OFQ含量的影响因素。结果与正常人比较,抑郁症组OFQ含量明显升高(t=8．70,P＜0．0001)；OFQ含量与HAMD评分呈正相关(r=0．63,P＜0．01)；OFQ含量主要与抑郁情绪、夸大、失眠、自卑感、自杀、强迫症状、教育水平、关注身体健康等因素相关,而年龄、性别、职业、病程、曾用药等其他因素与OFQ含量无明显相关。结论通过测量血浆OFQ含量可作为抑郁症诊断的参考指标。
