[Diagnosis and surgical treatment of solitary fibrous tumor of the pelvis].

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical diagnosis and surgical treatment of pelvic solitary fibrous tumor (SFT). METHODS: The data of nine cases of pelvic solitary fibrous tumor from April 2008 to February 2012 were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS: There were 7 male and 2 female patients in this group with a median age of 56 years, of whom 6 were asymptomatic. Their CT showed the tissue density was inhomogencous. Multivisceral resections were performed in 5 patients. Microscopically, the tumor cells were shuttle-shaped, short spindle-shaped or round, and mitoses was rare, immunohistochemistry: CD34, CD99, Bcl-2, Vimentin positive rates were 100%. One patient died 34 months after the surgery, and there was no recurrence in other patients. CONCLUSION: Pelvic SFT is rare. It is difficult to make an accurate diagnosis. Surgery is the most effective therapy. Multivisceral resections are needed sometimes. The prognosis is good for most patients.

[Microscope observation of the microbial distribution on the wall of different pipe material in water supply system].

Scanning electron microscope, atomic force microscope and confocal laser scanning microscope were used to observe the microbial distribution and biofilm structure on the surface of stainless steel plugs and the wall of PPR pipe in the water distribution system. The results show that, it is not easy for microbial to attach on the surface of stainless steel plugs. Little bacteria was observed in a short period of time (less than 3 months). Bacteria can be easily observed in the sediment of the PPR pipe wall at the end of water supply system. Bacteria was tightly adhered to the surface of the PPR pipe wall. Combination of scanning electron microscope and atomic force microscope is a practical way to observe the surface structure of discontinuous biofilm in the pipeline. The inner and three-dimensional structure of the pipe biofilm can be simultaneously observed by confocal laser scanning microscope.

[Effect of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) on chloraminated disinfection attenuation in drinking water distribution system].

The growth of microbe and formation of biofilm in water distribution system were important factors affecting the security of water quality. The number of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) in biofilm of a chloraminated drinking water distribution system in Shanghai was detected by MPN-Griess method, and the relations among AOB, nitrification and chloraminated disinfection were analyzed. Meanwhile, the effects of AOB on chloraminated disinfection fastness and attenuation by simulation experiment were studied. The result indicated that the number of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in pipe biofilm was between 1.0 x 10(2)-4.3 x 10(5) MPN/g dry biofilm. Correlation coefficients of AOB with ammonia, nitrite and nitrate were -0.563, 0.603 and -0.563. Correlation coefficients of AOB with total chlorine and mono-chloramine were -0.659 and -0.571. Fastness of AOB to chloramine was higher than heterotrophic bacteria and AOB can deplete more chloramine than HPC.
