Pulmonary cavitary lesions in children consist of a group of heterogeneous diseases, mainly caused by infections, and their imaging manifestations can be similar.It is clinically difficult to distinguish them from other lesions such as bullae, cyst, and emphysema.Some scholars have advanced a concept about thin wall(4 mm or less) and thick wall(more than 4mm).People tried to make this distinction by defining cyst as a thin wall and cavity as a thick wall, but there are considerable overlaps between the two categories in etiology and pathophysiology.They are sometimes difficult to distinguish for imageology, and it is still necessary to find the cause of the disease based on the characteristics.This review divides etiology into two categories: infectious and non-infectious etiology.Combined with chest imaging examination, the purpose is to analyze and summarize the features of pulmonary cavitary lesions in children, and provide a diagnostic idea for differentiating various pulmonary cavities to guide clinical treatment.

For the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea, professor ZHAO Jiping focuses on meridian diagnosis and inspection, and uses pressing methods to locate the response points along the meridian, including acupoints and aishi points. During the stage of attack, it is essential to press along the spleen meridian, mainly Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Diji (SP 8) and Yinlingquan (SP 9); during the stage of remission, it is essential to press along the bladder meridian and stomach meridian, mainly Ganshu (BL 18), Pishu (BL 20), Weishu (BL 21), Shenshu (BL 23) and Zusanli (ST 36). The differences between deficiency syndrome and excess syndrome lead to the different feelings of doctors and patients. Combined with the results of meridian diagnosis and inspection, the aim of treatment can be achieved by different acupuncture methods. Professor ZHAO pays attention to the treatment of accompanied symptoms and timing of treatment, since the relief of accompanied syndromes and selection of timing are keys to relieving patient's pain.

Objective To establish a novel method for the determination of betaine in serum by high performance liquid chromatography with UV detection.Methods Pre-column derivatization of serum was performed directly in acetonitrile without extraction with p-bromophenacyl bromide and 18-crown-6 ether as catalyst.The p-bromophenacyl ester derivatives were then separated by Supelcosil LC-SCX, using an was 0.8 ml/min and the effluent was monitored at 259 nm. Betaine was used for preparation of standard curve and quantification with external standards.Results The linearity of this method was 6.25-200.00 μmol/L,the regression was 0.999 8.The detection limit was 3.0 μmol/L.The within-day imprecision was 1.88%-3.79% ( average 3.24% ), the between-day imprecision was 3.14%-6.76% ( average 4.39% ), the recovery rates were 95.89%-102.86% (average 99.16% ).Conclusion This method is sensitive, rapid, accurate and suitable for the research and routine clinical practice.

Four specific salt-tolerant fungi for dissolving phosphate rock (FM) w ere isolated from the coastal saline soils. It was found that the biomass and a b ility to release phosphate from the materials decreased with increasing of the N aCl content. During pH7.0～8.5, the biomass and ability of to release phospho rus from the materials of FM1 decreased sharply with pH rising, but the FM2 and FM4 decreased not considerably, optimal pH for FM3 was at pH8.5. At pH9.0, the bi oma ss and ability of to release phosphorus from the materials decreased quickly. F M2 was stable at alkaline and high salt content condition.

Objective To explore the regularity and characteristics of violence-related injury. Method Data from the injury surveillance in the Emergency Medicine department of Nan-shan hospital was used in this study. Data of all injured patients, who admitied to the emergency department between 1 January 2004 to 31 November 2005, was analysed. Results During the study period, 25376 injured patients were collected and 12280 (48.4%) were violence-related injury patients. The male to female ratio was 2.4: 1. Most of patients were aged 15～44 years old, accouting for 79.9%. The majority of the violence-related patients were wonters, accounting for 59%, most injuries were open wounds and occurred in working places, injuries occurred most during 13 pm to 18 pm. Conclusions Analysis of data from the violence injury surveillance in emergency department can be an aid for the depiction of the overall severe injury profile in area and, in this way, it will be essential for the implementation of properly preventive and controlling measures, despite some limitation. It is urgent to explore and develop an violence injury surveillance system to cope China's milieu.

Objective: To investigate the blood lead level (BLL) in painters and the inlfuential factors, and to provide the theory foundation for the prevention and control of lead poisoning in painters. Methods: A total of 535 painters from Sany Heavy Industry Company Limited and Xiangjiang Kansai Paint Corporation, who participated in the health examination during October 2012 and December 2012, were recruited and divided into a positive blood lead group and a negative blood lead group according to the level of blood lead. Questionnaires survey and physical/biochemical examinations were performed. Chi-square Test and multivariate logistic regression were used to estimate the factors that contributed to the elevated blood lead. Results: hTe results from 525 questionnaires and physical/ biochemical examination were collected. There were 55 workers (10.4%) whose BLL were 0.04 mg/L. The maximum value of BLLs was 0.35mg/L. hTe multivariate logistic regression showed that smoking (OR=2.424), smoking or eating in the workplace (OR=2.139), not washing hands before smoking or eating (OR=1.624), and the cycle of changing masks longer than two weeks (OR=2.158) were positively associated with BLL. Conclusion: Smoking, smoking or eating in the workplace, not washing hands before smoking or eating, and the cycle of changing masks longer than two weeks are risk factors for higher BLL.

Objective To explore the effect of robot-assisted gait training on the lower limb motor function and gait ability in patients with hemiplegia after stroke. Methods From January, 2015 to October 2016, 60 patients with hemiplegia after stroke were randomly divided into control group (n=30) and experimental group (n=30). Both groups received conventional rehabilitation, while the experimental group was given robot-assisted gait training and the control group was given artificial assisted gait training, 30 minutes a day, five days a week for eight weeks. They were evaluated with Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Lower Limb (FMA-LE), muscle strength of hip flexion (L-FORCE/HIP/Flex, FHF) and knee extension (L-FORCE/KNEE/Ext, FKE), Six Minutes Walking Distance and Ten Meters Walking Time before and after training. Results There was no significant difference in general data and all indexes between two groups before training (P>0.05). The scores of all the indexes improved in the experimental group after training (t>2.274, P<0.05), and all of them were better in the experimental group than in the control group (t>2.095, P<0.05), except FKE. Conclusion Robot-assisted gait training can effectively improve the lower limb motor function and gait ability of patients with hemiplegia after stroke.

Objective To study the apllication value of cerebraspinal fluid minimal residual leukemia cells(MRLCs) combined with lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) detection in early diagnosis of central nervous system leukemia(CNSL) to provide a laboratory basis for clinical diagnosis and evaluation of disease progression and therapeutic effect.Methods Thirty inpatiernts without blood disease and central nervous system(CNS) organic diseases,and normal CSF routine and detected biochemical indexes were selected as the control group and 96 cases of acute leukemia (AL) diagnosed by bone marrow puncture FAB morphology and flow cytometry typing served as the disease group.Flow cytometry was used to detect the MRLCs in CSF,the activity of LDH in CSF was detected by the rate method,and the detection results were performed the comparative analysis.Results Among 96 cases of AL,30 patients with CNSL had 13 cases of positive MRLCs in CSF,the positive rate was 43.33%,among 66 cases of non-MRLCs,MRLCs was not detected detected.Among 96 cases of AL,CSF LDH level in 30 cases of CNSL was (30.54±10.29)U/L,which was significantly higher (16.16±7.12)U/L in the patients without CNSL,the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion The detection of MRLCs and LDH in CSF of AL can be used as a laboratory diagnostic index for early diagnosis of CNSL,and MRLCs combined with LDH detection can improve the positive diagnosis rate of CNSL.

The prevalence of obesity is increasing. It is associated with conditions such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidaemia and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and together with its co-morbidities, obesity has become a fast-growing public health concern and health burden. However, weight loss has been shown to reduce the development and improve these conditions. This paper looks at the epidemiology, obesity-related comorbidities, in particular pre-diabetes, and the various strategies that can be implemented to prevent and treat this looming problem.
