含双酚—A和杂环结构的聚芳醚酮的合成与表征

用苯酚、苯酐和水合肼合成了4-（4-羟苯基）-2,3-二氮杂萘酮-1,并与双酚-A和二苯甲酮聚合,得到含双酚-A和杂环结构的聚醚酮聚合物。用FT-IR、^13C-NMR、DSC、TGA和DMA等方法对聚合物进行了表征。结果表明,这种可溶性的非晶态聚合物有较高的Tg和很高的耐热温度,Tg随聚合物的组成不同而变化（158-224℃）,5%热失重温度为444-541℃。     

鸡贫血病毒VP 3基因的克隆及其体外凋亡诱导效应的研究

用PCR方法扩增了鸡贫血病毒标准株的vp3基因,并将其克隆于真核表达载体pcDNA3上,构建了重组体pcDNA-vp3.经酶切鉴定及测序分析表明,该片段和预期相符.在体外利用LipofectAMINETM介导的基因转染,将pc-DNA-vp3、pcDNA3分别转入肝癌细胞系HepG2和二倍体肝细胞系L-02中,转染后的RT-PCR结果证实vp3基因在细胞中得到了表达.同时利用筛选稳定表达细胞株的技术和原位细胞凋亡检测法,证明了鸡贫血病毒是以凋亡的方式诱导细胞死亡,并且只诱导癌细胞的凋亡,而不诱导正常或二倍体细胞死亡.表明鸡贫血病毒vp3基因很可能成为一种极具潜力的抗肿瘤生物制剂.     

Intradialytic systolic blood pressure variation can predict long-term mortality in patients on maintenance hemodialysis

International Urology and Nephrology - It is unclear which time-points of intradialytic blood pressure (BP) best predict prognosis. Thus, it is important to assess the association between different...     

Off-clamp Retroperitoneoscopic Tumour Evacuation for Sporadic Renal Angiomyolipomas with High RENAL Nephrometry Scores: A Novel Surgical Technique and Its Outcomes

BackgroundPartial nephrectomy or angioembolisation is commonly used for sporadic renal angiomyolipomas (RAMLs) with high RENAL scores, but there is a risk of reduced renal function, postoperative complications, and recurrence.ObjectiveTo describe a new technique for off-clamp laparoscopic evacuation of sporadic RAMLs with high RENAL scores that promotes maximal renal function maintenance and low postoperative complication and lesion recurrence rates.Design, setting, and participantsA retrospective cohort of patients undergoing off-clamp laparoscopic evacuation for sporadic RAMLs with RENAL scores ≥9 from January 2013 to June 2018 was included.Surgical procedureWe highlighted the curettage, suction, packing, and binding (CSPB) technique, a new off-clamp retroperitoneoscopic evacuation technique for sporadic RAMLs.MeasurementsDemographics, preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative outcomes were assessed.Results and limitationsA total of 141 cases were included. The median (interquartile range [IQR]) tumour size was 7 (6.2–8.2) cm. The median (IQR) RENAL score was 10 (9–11). The median (IQR) operative time was 80 (65–125) min, with a median (IQR) estimated blood loss of 130 (90–362.5) ml. Conversion to neither open surgery nor standard laparoscopy occurred. The warm ischaemia time was zero for all cases. Postoperatively, 13 minor complications (Clavien grade 1) were recorded. No blood transfusions were reported. The glomerular filtration rate did not change significantly from preoperative period to 12-mo follow-up. Recurrence did not occur at the median follow-up period of 48 (36–60) mo. The retrospective design and lack of a control group are limitations of this study.ConclusionsOff-clamp retroperitoneoscopic tumour evacuation using the CSPB technique is feasible, safe, and effective for treating complex sporadic RAMLs.Patient summaryWe report a curettage, suction, packing, and binding technique for off-clamp retroperitoneoscopic evacuation of sporadic renal angiomyolipomas that leads to complete lesion clearance, excellent renal function preservation, and minimal perioperative complications.

Cr Migration Potential and Species Properties in the Soil Profile from a Chromate Production Site in the Groundwater Depression Cone Area

The relationship between the migration process and speciation distribution of Cr is important for the risk assessment in the underground environment. In this work, soil columns were collected from the chromate production site, with a 40-year operation, in the groundwater depression cone area of North China plain. The relationship between chromium pollution features and the geochemical properties of soil was established, and the migration risk of Cr(VI) was assessed based on the Nemerow composite index and Hydrus-1D model. The maximum total Cr concentration in the chromium slag dumping site reached 907 mg/kg, and that in the chromate production workshop was more than 200 mg/kg across the depth. The migration of Cr might be accelerated in the soil with abundant Mn (236–1461 mg/kg) but scarce organic matters (<?0.45%). The Hydrus simulation indicated that Cr(VI) would reach a cumulative flux of 300–729 mg/cm² after 50 years.

     

Occurrence,Human Exposure,and Risk Assessment of Polybrominated Dibenzo-p-Dioxins and Dibenzofurans,Polychlorinated Naphthalenes,and Metals in Atmosphere Around Industrial Parks in Jiangsu,China

Air samples were collected around industrial parks in Jiangsu, China, to allow the concentrations, profiles, and risk assessment of polybrominated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PBDD/Fs), polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs), and metals to be investigated. The concentrations of ΣPBDD/Fs and ΣPCNs were 1324.26–2080.98 fg/m³ (11.35–42.57 fg I-TEQ/m³) and 10,404.9–29,322.9 fg/m³ (1.32–7.19 fg I-TEQ/ m³), respectively. The highest concentration of ΣPBDD/Fs and ΣPCNs were observed at site C. PBDD/Fs were mainly dominated by PBDFs. The main contributor to the ΣPBDD/Fs in all samples was 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpBDF, which accounted for 25.75%–39.4%. For PCNs, the predominating homologues were tetra-, tri- and penta-CNs, which contributed 30.7%–43.3%, 24.7%–31.0%, and 10.6%–21.6%, respectively. As for metals, the pollution of As, Mn, Cr, and Ni in most samples exceeded National Ambient Air Quality Standards of China. Assessing the risk of inhalation exposure showed that there were potential carcinogenic risks to local residents.
