Objective To investigate the association between thyroid autoimmunity (TAI) and miscarriage.Methods A systematic review of both case-control and cohort studies on the association between TAI and miscarriage published before March 2009 was performed.All the literatures were abstracted based on the defined selection criteria by two independent investigators.Publication bias was tested by funnel plot.The odd ratios of case-control studies and relative risks of cohort studies were pooled respectively,depending on the result of heterogeneity test among the individual studies.The software Review Manager (version 4.3.1) was used for meta analysis.Results Electronic search yielded 23 articles,4 of which were reviews and were excluded.The remaining 19 clinical studies met the selection criteria,of which 7 were case-control studies and 12 cohort studies.A clear association between the presence of thyroid autoantibodies (TA) and miscarriage was found with a pooled odds ratio of 2.72 (95% CI 1.27-5.80,P = 0.01) in 7 case-control studies,and a pooled relative risk of 2.41 (95% CI 1.96-2.96,P＜0.01) in 12 cohort studies.Women with TA were found to have slightly older age (age difference,1.29 years,95% CI 0.43-2.16,P = 0.003) and raised TSH levels (TSH difference,0.61 mIU/L,95% CI 0.51-0.71,P＜0.01) compared with those without TA.Conclusion TAI is significantly associated with miscarriage,which can be interpreted as the direct involvement of TA.Alternatively,the association can be partially explained by the slightly older age in women with TA compared with those without.A third possibility is mild thyroid failure,as TSH levels in TA-positive but euthyroid women are higher than in TA-negative women.

Objective To observe the anesthetic effects of articaine hydrochloride and epinephrine tartrate injection in oral treatment of elder patients.Methods 66 teeth of 56 elder patients were treated.Pain intensity was scaled by VAS.Pulse and blood pressure were observed before and after drugs administration for 0,5 minutes.ResuIts Pain during injection of articaine hydrochloride and epinephrine tartrate injection and surgery subsequently was rare.The total respouse rate was 95%～100%.No significent toxic effects were found.Pulse and blood pressure remained after injection.Conclusion Articaine hydrochloride and epinephrine tartrate injection was one of local anesthetics with good infiltration,safety and anesehetic effect.It would be more widely used in elder patients oral treatment field in the future.

Objective To establish an intelligent nutritional diet analysis system in the hospital to guide and monitor the patient's diets and nutrition.Methods Individual health report and nutrition prescription were output intelligently through an intelligent nutritional diet knowledge-based system as well as the interfaces between the modules of electronic record interchange,intelligent nutrition analysis and diet management,and the modules were all interfaced with HIS and LIS respectively.Results The patient's diets and satisfaction were all enhanced by the system.Conclusion The system integrates computer technology into nutritional diet management to realize whole-course traceable closed-loop management.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effective quality management in the pharmacy intravenous admixture services(PIVAS) adapting to the needs of modern hospital quality management.METHODS The PIVAS was run under the hospital administration by the methods of objective monitoring and grade-based administration.RESULTS The high risk factors of nosocomial infection were revented,which guaranteed the safety of transfusion to the inpatients and protection for the preparing workers,thus nosocomial infection was decreased effectively.CONCLUSIONS A series of practical management system and processes are builtup to promote the management of hospital infection and to guarantee the quality of medical service.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) negatively mediate the post transcriptional target genes by degrading mRNAs and inhibiting translation of protein.Deregulation of miRNAs are directly or indirectly correlated with tumorigenesis and development of cancer.Currently,the application of miRNAs as a non-invasive potential biomarker with high stability is under investigation.

Objective To explore the risk factors of breast cancer recurrence for the cause exploration and prevention of the disease.Methods With matched case-control method,a survey was conducted among survival cases of histologically diagnosed breast cancer patients in Southern hospital from January 2004 to December 2007 in Guangzhou city.The survival cases were divided into case group and control group according to the inclusion criteria.Unconditional logistic model was used to analyze the data.Results Multiple factors logistic regression analysis showed mental stimulations [OR =10.926,95％CI (5.041-23.682)],oral contraceptive pills history [OR=2.634,95％CI(1.548-4.482)],benign breast disease history [OR=5.183,95％CI(2.100-12.790)],human epiderma growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) positive [OR=2.257,95％CI (1.326-3.843)],lymph node metastasis [OR=2.021,95％CI (1.272-3.212)],distant metastasis [OR=3.718,95％CI (2.125-6.503)] might be associated with the increasing breast cancer recurrence risk.Regular exercise [OR=0.460,95％CI(0.234-0.905)],low stage of disease [OR=0.106,95％CI(0.022-0.498)],breast nursing time [OR=0.053,95％CI(0.009-0.316)],dietary intake of soy isflavones[OR=0.154,95％CI (0.032-0.745)] might be associated with the decreasing breast cancer recurrence risk.Conclusions Clinical medical staff should take attention to the breast cancer who had benign breast disease history to ensure timely check-ups,early detection,early diagnosis and early treatment.Improving physical and psychological quality,reducing oral contraceptive pills,prolonging breast nursing time,and increasing dietary intake of soy isflavones were important to the prevention of breast cancer recurrence.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effects of magnetic attachments in complete overdenture. Methods Casting method was used to fabricate Coping-Keepers for remained roots, and the patients were followed up for 6 months to check the effects of the overdentures retained with Magfit EX attachments. In the experimental group, 21 complete overdentures were made with 33 Magfit EX magnetic attachments for 18 patients. Eleven patients treated with traditional complete overdentures were selected to act as control. The retention force, aspect and comfortableness were subjectively evaluated by the patients of the both groups. Abutment status was observed and compared before and after cementation of the magnetic attachments by measuring periodontal index, including gingival index (GI), sulcus bleeding index (SBI) and bleeding on probing (BOP), etc. Masticatory function of patients in the both groups was measured at 3 time points: immediate, 3 months and 6 months after cementation. Results Patients in experimental group were more satisfied with complete overdentures made up of magnetic attachments than those in control group, especially in retention force and masticatory efficiency and aspect. Magnetic attachments can provide enough retention force for patients and greatly improved the masticatory efficiency and the abutment condition. The masticatory function was to be perfect and stable after 3-6 months. Furthermore, the mobility and periodontal index of most abutments improved after 6 months. Conclusion It is proved that magnetic attachments are effective to improve the function of complete overdentures, worthy to be used widely. It is suggested that the residual root and loosened tooth should be preserved furthest as possible in clinic.
