Sorption isotherms of brominated diphenyl ethers on natural soils with different organic carbon fractions.

Sorption isotherms of BDE-28 and BDE-47 on natural soils with different contents of soil organic matter (SOM) were investigated. Due to low water solubility of BDEs and resulted narrow ranges of aqueous equilibrium concentration, the linear distribution model showed similar and good fitting efficiency to the linear portion of nonlinear Freundlich curve. For the same sample, the linear and nonlinear model fitting sorption coefficients were close.

[Sorption behaviors of BDE-28 on natural soils].

The sorption kinetics and isotherms of BDE-28 on three natural soils with different soil organic matter fractions (f(oc)) were investigated. The results indicated that a two (fast and slow)-compartment first-order model was more appropriate for describing the sorption kinetic data, compared to a one-compartment first-order model, especially in the initial sorption stage within 25 h. The fast sorption was predominant during the whole sorption process from beginning to the apparent sorption equilibrium; while the contribution of the slow sorption to the total sorption amount gradually increased and then achieved a plateau at 49 h or 55 h.

[Distribution characteristics of trace pollutants in benthic mussels from the coastal areas of Bohai Sea and North Yellow Sea].

Based on the recent monitoring results, the concentration and distribution of persistent toxic substances in the benthic mussels from the coastal areas of Bohai Sea and North Yellow Sea were determined. The results indicated that, at over 36% of the total sampling sites, the tissue concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons were higher than the Category I value (15 microg/g, wet weight) of the national marine biological quality standards, especially at the sites near Dalian Bay and Xincun in Hebei Province, the tissue concentrations even exceeded the Category III level (80 microg/g, wet weight). Moreover, higher tissue concentration of PHCs (over the Category I level) during recent years remained in the most monitoring sea areas.

[Geographical distribution of DDTs, PCBs and phthalate esters in coastal surface sediments of Yellow Sea].

Using the data of the second survey of marine pollution baseline, the geographical distribution and constitution were investigated, and preliminarily evaluated the ecological risk based on the corresponding sediment quality guidelines. The results showed that, the sites with high concentrations of PAEs over the corresponding guidelines were mainly located in the Dalian Bay (1 389.8 ng/g) and surrounding sea areas of Lvshun (1 928.

[Distribution of typical organic pollutants in benthic mussels from the inshore areas of Yellow Sea].

Based on the second national baseline survey on marine pollution, the concentration, distribution and potential ecological risk of typical organic pollutants in the benthic mussels from the inshore areas of Yellow Sea were determined. The results indicated that, at over 35% of the total sampling sites, the tissue concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons were higher than the Category I (15 000 ng/g) of the national marine biological quality standards, and at the sites near Dalian Bay, the tissue concentrations even exceeded the Category II (50 000 ng/g). At minor sites located in Dalian Bay, Weihai and Jiaozhou Bay, relatively high concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and phthalate esters (PAEs) occurred, while the concentrations of PAHs and PAEs in mussels at most other sites were low.

[Preparation and clinical application of an intelligent determination and analysis system for glomerular filtration rate].

Objective: To prepare an intelligent determination and analysis system for renal glomerular filtration rate(GFRBMAS), and to explore its value in clinical setting.

Methods: GFRBMAS was prepared by programming with VB 6.0 software.

Multi-residues of organic pollutants in surface sediments from littoral areas of the Yellow Sea, China.

Concentrations of all studied organic pollutants, except for DDTs, were greatest at sites in Dalian Bay, where surface sediment concentrations of PHCs, PAHs, PCBs and DDTs exceeded the corresponding ERL values. The sum concentration of DDTs was greatest in Haizhou Bay exceeding the related ERM value. In terms of compositions of PAHs and PAEs, the predominant components were the MMW and HMW compounds, DBP and DEHP, respectively.

Residual concentrations of micropollutants in benthic mussels in the coastal areas of Bohai Sea, North China.

Studies of heavy metals and organic pollutants in different benthic mussel species from Bohai Sea show that concentrations of Cd in mussels commonly exceed national biological quality standards. In addition, a site located in Laizhou Bay exhibits higher average concentrations of As, Hg and Pb with respect to the other sites. Residual levels of petroleum hydrocarbons at several sites in Liaodong Bay also exceed quality guidelines.

Distribution and characteristics of organic micropollutants in surface sediments from Bohai Sea.

Spatial distribution and compositional characteristics of PAHs, DDTs and PCBs in surface sediments from Bohai Sea were investigated. Proportion of LMW PAHs at Jinzhou Bay was significant, due probably to the petrogenic sources from neighboring oil wells and plants, while HMW PAHs were dominant in the other sea areas, inferred pyrogenic origins mainly from coal or petroleum combustion. The average ERL quotient for the PAH species in Qinhuangdao and Liaodong Bay indicated relatively stronger potential ecological risk.

[Study of the clinical factors associated with glomerular filtration rate].

Objective: To investigate the relationship between glomerular filtration rate(GFR) and possible involved clinical factors and to offer an basis for building measurement GFR by the calculation method.

Methods: GFR from 46 cases of normal renal function group and 52 cases of renal insufficient group were determined by using clearance of 99mTc-DTPA, serum creatinine(SCr), urea nitrogen, uric, potassium, sodium, calcium and hemoglobin were determined. Simultaneously, heart rate, urine specific gravity, 24 hours urine protein quantum, average artery pressure, weight index and body surface area were determined.
