AIM:To investigate the therapeutic usefulness of leukocytapheresis (LCAP;Cellsoba) in steroid-naive patients with moderately active ulcerative colitis (UC).METHODS:Eighteen steroid-naive patients with moderately active UC received one LCAP session every week for five consecutive weeks.RESULTS:The remission rate 8 weeks after the last LCAP session was 61.1% (11/18).All three patients with deep ulcers showed worsening after LCAP.For the remaining 15 patients,who had erosions or geographic ulcers,the average clinical activity index (CAI) score dropped significantly from 9.4 to 3.8eight weeks after the last LCAP session (t=4.89,P=0.001).The average C-reactive protein (CRP) levels before and after LCAP were 1.2 mg/dL and 1.0 mg/dL,respectively.Of the patients with erosions,geographic ulcers,and deep ulcers,100% (9/9),33.3% (2/6),and 0% (0/3) were in remission 8 weeks after the last LCAP session,respectively (x2=7.65,P < 0.005).Fortyeight weeks after the last LCAP session,the remission rates for patients with erosions and geographic ulcers were 44.4% (4/9) and 16.7% (1/6),respectively.Only one patient suffered a mild adverse event after LCAP (nausea).CONCLUSION:LCAP is a useful and safe therapy for steroid-naive UC patients with moderate disease activity.Moreover,the efficacy of the treatment can be predicted on the basis of endoscopic findings.

利用不同廉价离子交换膜作为填料型微生物燃料电池(MFC)的分隔材料,考察其运行情况,表征其内阻、极化曲线、功率密度、膜面电阻以及对有机物和氧气的扩散系数。结果表明:相比以阳离子交换膜作为分隔材料的MFC(CMFC),以阴离子交换膜作为分隔材料的MFC(AMFC)内阻更低,功率密度更高,最大功率密度可达2.4 W/m2。在长期运行过程中AMFC的内阻及膜面电阻变化均较小。长期运行后,阳离子交换膜靠着
采用生物滤池处理高铁、高锰、高氨氮地下水时,存在启动时间长的问题,鉴于此,采用双层滤料、单层滤料回流、单层滤料不回流三种启动方式同时启动三根滤柱,考察双层滤料和回流对启动时间的影响。结果表明,采用双层滤料或回流均能有效缩短启动时间,三根滤柱出水中的总铁、锰、氨氮分别在第82、81、103天降到了0.3、0.05、0.2 mg/L以下。进一步的分析发现,铁主要在0~0.4 m滤层被去除,锰的去除最初
