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.

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 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.

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: Insertion of a foreign body in the nasal cavity is a very common incident in children. It is easily diagnosed, but the type of foreign body varies and the extraction can sometimes be difficult with risk of complications. The present study reported nasal foreign bodies diagnosed in emergency in our ENT department, with an update on the state of knowledge. METHOD: A prospective study between Feb 2013 to Sept 2015 included patients admitted to the ENT emergency unit for nasal foreign body. Data comprised age, gender, circumstances of discovery, symptoms, type of foreign body, extraction method and complications. Many patients required anterior rhinoscope for the diagnosis and removal (179/249, 71. 9%), and 170 cases were directly removed and 9 cases were into alimentary canal; Most irregularly shaped objects were removed by a endoscope under general anesthesia (70/249, 28.1%), including button batteries (n= 65), nasal calculi (n = 2) and chopsticks (n = 3). RESULT The main types of foreign body were vegetal forms (61.8%). The incident was discovered following nasal symptoms in 24.9% (n = 62). Extraction was easy by using forceps, micro-hooks or suction in 71.9% of qn:Nasal sinuses foreign body on prevention, detailed history and make the necessary inspection, can improve the correct diagnostic rate.
