Invasive fungal infections(IFI) is significantly increasing in the neonatal intensive care unit recent years.The characteristics of IFI are low diagnosis rate,high mortality and being prone to involve in the nervous system.In this paper,the epidemiology,pathogens,risk factors,diagnosis,treatment and prevention of neonatal IFI are reviewed to improve the understanding of this disease.

Periostin, a extracellular matrix protein structurally similar to fasciclin proteins, is expressed specifically in various tumor tissues and correlates with tumor progression and prognosis. Periostin prevents the apoptosis of tumor cells, promotes tumor growth and can induce angiogenic signaling cascades through αvβ3-FAK and Flk-1/KDR. It also contributes to epithelial-mesenchymal-transformation promoting tumor invasion and metastasis. Periostin maybe a potential therapeutic target of cancer treatment.

Objective To improve the health of women and children,we built a medical research platform with maternal and child health characteristics and feature.Methods Since January 2011,we build the medical research platform of Huaian MCH through the following three aspects.①To firmly establish the thought of Science and technology to revitalizing the hospital and outstand technical innovation.② built a medical research platform with maternal and child health characteristics and feature.③To focus on construction of Research platform.Results After building research platform,the total number of published papers or high-level papers and the total number or level of the Research Projects and the New Technology Award are significantly higher.Many disciplines and specialist technical levels have been improved in our MCH.Neonatal Medical Center and Children's Health Center have upgraded to Provincial Maternal and Child Healthcare key disciplines.The department of women healthcare has upgraded to Provincial Maternal and Child Healthcare key disciplines construction unit.In 2012,our MCH got top 30 of comprehensive index ranking in operation and development of the National Maternal and Child Health agencies.Conclusion Building the medical research platform with the characteristics of maternal and child healthcare,can improve maternal and child healthcare service quality and level of clinical services,and promote the development of the hospital's overall strength,thereby increasing the ability of hospitals to protect the health of women and children.

Objective To increase the awareness of lung cancer complicating thrombosis disease(TD).Methods From 1995 to 2004 18 cases of lung cancer with TD were retrospectively reviewed in the Second Hospital Affiliated to China Medical University.Results Of the 18 cases,there were 7 cases complicated with deep venous thrombosis(DVT);3 cases with pulmonary thromboembolism(PTE);4 cases with DVT and PTE;4 cases with nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis(NBTE).5 cases with DVT and(or)PTE occurred 2～6 months before detection of lung cancer,3 cases of NBTE had brain and peripheral artery embolism 2～7 months before detection of lung cancer.Conclusion TD could be warning a sign indicating advanced lung cancer.

Objective To explore the function and mechanism of Dihuang Yinzi (DHYZ) in promoting learning and memory and delaying brain aging. Methods The Wistar rats aged 20 months were randomly assigned to receive oral administration of 6, 12, 18 g?kg~ -1 ?d~ -1 DHYZ, or 2 ml/d normal saline (control) for 30 d (n=12 in each group), then space memory was detected with Morris Water Maze, and expression of synaptophysin (SYP) and extracellular regulated protein (ERK) were measured by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. Results Rats administrated with DHYZ showed shorter mean escape latency (P

This paper reported that bronchial artery embolization(BAE)had been used to treat 35 non tumorous patients who suffered from recurrent hemoptysis or acute severe hemoptysis after the given medical treatment was proved uneffective in 35 patients,7 patients had recurrent hemoptysis during 1.5～19 months postoperatively and were treated by BAE again,and there was no recurrence of hemoptysis during 7～34 months follow-up.Therefore, the authors considered that repeated BAE was still effective in treating recurrent hemoptysis.

OBJECTIVE According to the development of nosocomial infection management in China,we design a series of nosocomial infection surveillance and management system,in order to work effectively in real time to control nosocomial infection outbreak,standardly collecting and analyzing the surveillance data of the critical department/area and risk factors for nosocomial infection,so a scientific management for nosocomial infection can be realized.METHODS Adopting C/S framework,the backstage supporter adopted the large-scale database of SQL SERVER 2000 edition,the front application program used PowerBuilder7 programming.The application software where collected all data about nosocomial infection information was integrated into the each work station of the information system,in order to form nosocomial infection surveillance and management network related to any department of the hospital.RESULTS System could come down with the hospital infection case which every hospital department could find to check,put in order,report,count,analyze,have a look around,inquire about,feedback,form the monitoring chart with excellent pictures and texts,and make the better prognosis of the nosocomial infection outbreak.CONCLUSIONS Beijing nosocomial infection surveillance and management system is a medical quality control system of a hospital.This software could afford scientific and standard data for the health care institution and administration to realize the primary information of nosocomial infection and make decisions.
