Serum cystatin C (Cys-C) is a cysteine protease inhibitor and has been used as an indicator of early renal function damage.The recent studies have found that Cys-C is closely related to the occurrence,development and prognosis of heart failure.This article reviews the recent research progress on the association between Cys-C and heart failure.

The antifungal mechanism of the TS67(Penicillum sp.) producing bioactive metabolites was investigated in this paper. The test indicated that mycelia growth, spores forming and spores germination of Bipolaris maydis and Fusarium oxysporum can be inhibitied by metabolites, after 50% fermentation broth acting 120 hours, the inhibition rate of hyphal growth can reach about 77.78%, 70.30%, the inhibition rate of spores forming also arrived at 58.8%, 73.5%; under 50% fermentation broth acting 12 hours, the inhibition rate of spores germination were up to 78.3%, 62.0%, the mycelia under activity metabolites conditoins also showed surface nodulation and growing point expanding irregularly, protoplasmic condesing, etc. Based on all these results, we may draw a conclusion that activity metabolites maybe target at fungal cell wall.

Objective To explore the short to long term surgical outcomes and treatment experiences of esophageal atresia（EA）.Methods The clinical data of EA inpatients in our hospital from 2006 to 2009 were reviewed retrospectively.The birth weight,main associated anomalies,details of management,complications and outcomes were discussed.Main risk factors were evaluated with major prognostic classification systems.Results Totally 48 consecutive infants with EA were identified from 2006 to 2009,male 33（69%）,female 15（31%）.Mean birth weight was 2 668 g（range 1 700 g to 3 800 g）.All received primary operation.Complications included pneumonia,anastomotic leakage（16%）,tracheoesophageal fistula,incision sepsis（11%）,delayed tracheoesophageal fistula（7%）,stricture（10%）,and gastroesophageal reflux（GER）（67%）.Mortality was 12.5%,mainly due to severe pneumonia and complex cardiac anomalies.Conclusion Most patients with esophageal atresia could be cured after primary operation with excellent outcomes.The main factors for mortality were complex cardiac anomalies,aspiration and pneumonia.The main mid-term complications were GER and stricture.

Through pot experiments, the disease index and control efficiency of TS67 cell, the fermentation liquid of TS67 and the supernatant of TS67 separately act on Fusarium oxysporum and Bipolaris maydis was detected. Experiment results analysis with SPSS statistical analysis software indicated all treatments of TS67 could inhibit both of soybean root rot disease and corn southern leaf blight (P

The present paper is to evaluate the scientific research level and development trends of biomedical engineering in China using metrology analysis on Chinese biomedical engineering scientific literatures. Pubmed is used to search the biomedical engineering publications in recent 5 years which are indexed by Science Citation Index, and the number and cited times of these publications and the impact factor of the journals are analyzed. The results show that comparing with the world, although the number of the publication in China has increased in recent 5 years, there is still much room for improvement. Among Chinese mainland, Hongkong and Taiwan, Chinese mainland maintains the obvious advantage in this subject, but Hongkong has the highest average cited number. Shanghai and Beijing have better research ability than other areas in Chinese mainland.

Objective To discuss the efficacy of GP combined with cervus blood granule in treating advanced non -small cell lung cancer (NSCLC ) after chemotherapy.Methods Eighty patients with advanced NSCLC were randomly divided into two groups by digital table method.In the combined group,forty patients were trea-ted by GP combined with cervus blood granule.In the control group,forty patients were treated by GP alone.All the patients were tested routine blood in the seventh and tenth day.The value of platelet was recorded,the incidence of thrombocytopenia between two groups was compared.Results At the seventh day of chemotherapy,in the control group,thrombocytopenia Ⅰ found in 5 cases,2 cases of thrombocytopeniaⅡ,1 case of thrombocytopeniaⅢ,thrombo-cytopenia Ⅳ in 1 case.In the combined group,thrombocytopenia Ⅰ occurred in 3 cases,1 case of thrombocytopeniaⅡ,no grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia,there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups(Z=-1.259,P=0.208).At the tenth day of chemotherapy,in the control group,thrombocytopenia Ⅰ found in 6 cases, 3 cases of thrombocytopenia Ⅱ,1 case of thrombocytopenia Ⅲ,thrombocytopenia Ⅳ in 1 case.In the combined group,4 cases occurred thrombocytopenia Ⅰ,thrombocytopenia Ⅱ in 1 case,no grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant(Z=-1.966,P=0.049).Conclusion Cervus blood granule combined with GP can effectively reduce the classification of thrombocytopenia caused by chemotherapy.To some extent,it can also prevent the happening of the thrombocytopenia.

Objective To investigate the pathological features and prognostic analysis in endoscopic strip-ping microflap excision of vocal cords leukoplakia.Methods A total of 186 cases with vocal cord leukoplakia and treated by endoscopic stripping microflap excision were retrospectively analyzed,calculated the ratios of recurrence and malignant transformation on keratosis without dysplasia,mild dysplasia,moderate dysplasia and severe dysplasia and carcinoma in situ.Then,the association of histopathological classification with recurrence and malignant transformation in vocal cord leukoplakia were evaluated.Results 87 cases of all 186 patients with vocal cord leukoplakia were kera-tosis without dysplasia,17 cases were recurrenced and 3 cases were developed to carcinoma;64 cases were mild dysplasia,15 cases were recurrenced and 7 cases were developed to carcinoma;29 cases were moderate dysplasia, 13 cases were recurrenced and 10 cases were developed to carcinoma;6 cases were severe dysplasia and carcinoma in situ,all 6 cases were recurrenced and 5 cases were developed to carcinoma.Conclusion The histopathological classi-fication is predictive factor for the risk of recurrence and malignant transformation in vocal cord leukoplakia.
