OBJECTIVE To analyze the morbidity,the pathogen and the risk factors of nosocomial infection in department of neurology in our hospital for searching the effective prophylactico-therapeutic measures.METHODS On the basis of investigating the recovery patients in department of neurology in our hospital from Jan 2003 to Dec 2005,we analyzed the morbidity,the infected sites,the difference of the nosocomial infection among underlying diseases,and the high incidence of nosocomial infection induced by invasive examination and cure.RESULTS The morbidity of nosocomial infection in department of neurology was 4.73%,and this was the highest in our hospital.The primary infected sites were the lower respiratory tract,the urinary tract and the upper respiratory tract,and the morbidity of nosocomial infective induced by invasion examination and cure increased obviously.CONCLUSIONS The morbidity of nosocomial infection in department of neurology is obviously above than other departments.Therefore,department of neurology should be emphasized to monitor,control and prevent nosocomial infection in the hospital.

To find a new way to treat patients with ectopic eruption of canine or impaction canine,autogenous transplantation of those teeth was explored and had good results.

Rep78/68 is a kind of nonstructural protein from adeno-associated virus. It inhibits a variety of viruses and tumor transformation. In addition, it has significant effect on the proliferation and metabolism of host cells. In this paper, we reviewed the latest research advances of this protein.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of serum soluble transferrin receptor(sTfR) in children with iron deficiency anemia(IDA).Methods Sixty-three children with microcytic hypochromic anemia were divided into IDA and non-IDA(n-IDA)groups,on which sTfR and other iron metabolism related indexes such as serum ferritin(SF) and serum iron(SI) were measured,and(t-test) between groups and analysis of ROC curve were carried out.Results The mean concentration of sTfR in the group of IDA was above normal value and t-test difference was extremely significant compared with n-IDA group(P

BACKGROUND: The increase of the incidence of autoimmune diseases and the autoimmune pathogenesis of vitiligo were reported. OBJECTIVE: We studied the frequency of autoimmune disorders and positivity of antinuclear antibody in Korean vitiligo patients. METHODS: Vitiligo patients (439 patients) and control subjects (197 patients) were interviewed about their history of autoimmune diseases. Laboratory studies including complete blood cell count, urine analysis, blood chemistry, fasting blood sugar, thyroid function test (T3, free T4, TSH), and antinuclear antibody were performed for the screening of autoimmune disorders. RESULTS: The diseases associated with vitiligo were microcytic hypochromic anemia (3.64%), non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (2.96%), thyroid disease (3.96%), atrophic gastritis, and alopecia areata. In the control subjects, the associated diseases were microcytic hypochromic anemia (1.62%), non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (4.65%), and thyroid disease (3.49%). These results show that the frequency of autoimmune disorders in vitiligo patients is not significantly higher than that in control subjects. Six (54.5%) out of 11 vitiligo patients with thyroid disease were diagnosed as having thyroid disease for the first time. Four (0.91%) out of 438 vitiligo patients showed positive to antinuclear antibody. Positivity of antinuclear antibody was not higher in vitiligo patients than that in control subjects (1.16%). CONCLUSION: Frequency of autoimmune diseases and positive reaction to antinuclear antibody in vitiligo patients were not significantly higher than those in control subjects.

Annexin-A1(ANXA1)can influence inflammatory processes, contributing to the development of many age-related diseases, such as atherosclerosis, neurodegenerative diseases and diabetes.However, the mechanisms through which ANXA1 participates in inflamm-aging remain unclear.This article reviews research advances on ANXA1 in aging and age-related diseases.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD)in outpatients who visited department of internal medicine in hospitals of Zhejiang province and its risk fac- tors were analyzed.Methods The epidemiologic study was carried out on outpatients with reflex diagnos- tic questionnaire(RDQ).The data was analyzed with Logistic regression methods.Results The preva- lence of GERD in those patients was 7.28%(95% CI:6.87%-7.69%)in preliminary screening.There was significant correlation among gender,age,degree of labour intensity,status of marriage and the oc currence of GERD(P
