Pediatric kidney disease prevalence has increased over the past decades.The key result of children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who needs renal replacement therapy with significantly increased risk of cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome.It is essential to diagnose CKD in the early phase by assessment of kidney function.We assess the kidney function by detecting serum creatinine(SCr) and blood urea nitrogen(BUN),which are traditional biomarkers and not sensitive to diagnose AKI.We also use cystatin C and β2-microglobulin to evaluate kidney function,which are controversial in clinic.It is difficult to evaluate kidney function exactly for children because glomerular filtration rate(GFR) is different in children with different age and gender.It should be more sensitive and specific to assess pediatric kidney function by applying blood and urine biomarkers and GFR equation together.Nowadays,we should find a more precise equation to evaluate GFR for children in order to monitor the kidney disease progression.It may provide the exact timing for the treatment to prevent ESRD.Therefore,we summarize some GFR equations in order to detect more suitable equation to evaluate GFR for Chinese children with different age,gender and nutrition status.

BACKGROUND: Because of their size effect, nanometer particles (NPs) can combine molecular within cells, which can result in cell necrosis or apoptosis. But there are no systematic mechanisms of apoptosis induced by NPs about biological safety of NPs.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of nano-hydroxyapatite particles on mononuclear macrophage in rat abdominal cavity at celluar and molecular level.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A materials-cytology observation was performed at Shanghai Biomaterials Research & Testing Center from January 2001 to December 2008.MATERIALS: SD rats of clean grade were provided by SINO-BRITISH SIPPR/BK LAB. ANIMAL Co., Ltd.; NPs were provided by Shanghai Institute of Ceramics.METHODS: Peritoneal fluid was extracted under a sterility environment to in vitro separate and culture mononuclear macrophage using adherence method. The concentration of cell was adjusted at 2×10~9/L. At 300 W/40 kHz ultrasound, cell suspension containing 20,100 and 200 mg/L nano-hydroxyapatite particles was prepared to induce mononuclear macrophage for 24 hours, respectively. A normal control group was established.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Ultrastructural phenotype was detected using transmission electron microscope; apoptotic rate was measured using AnnexinV-EGFP/PI staining; variation of apoptosis-related P53 gene expression was detected using Western Blot.RESULTS: Pseudopodia of mononuclear macrophage in the normal control group were intact, nuclear membrane was normal, and nucleoplasm was uniformed. After inducing by 20,100, 200 mg/L nano-hydroxyapatite particles for 24 hours, apoptotic morphological characteristics were typical in mononuclear macrophage. Compared with normal control group, apoptotic rate was significantly increased following the induction of 20 and 100 mg/L nano-hydroxyapatite (P< 0.01), and the increasing in the 100 mg/L nano-hydroxyapatite particle group was greater than 20 mg/L nano-hydroxyapatite particle group (P < 0.05). P53 protein was not observed in mononuclear macrophage in the normal control group. Following induction of varying concentrations of nano-hydroxyapatite particles, P53 protein expression was increased in the mononuclear macrophage, and the expression was positively related to concentration of nano-hydroxyapatite particles.CONCLUSION: Nano-hydroxyapatite particles can induce p53 expression through phosphorylation, which promotes downstream genes and finally results in cell apoptosis.

Conclusion:STI resilience through the myocardium, ventricular torsion and systolic mitral annular maximum displacement at the midpoint of the analysis, can accurately evaluate left ventricular longitudinal, radial and torsional motion synchronization, highly correlated with left ventricular ejection fraction, good consistency, with a very broad application prospects.

Objective To investigate the effect of bevacizumab on apoptosis of drug resistant nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) cells in vitro.Methods The human nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) cell line CNE2 and its cisplatin-resistant CNE2/DDP cells were treated with bevacizumab and DDP in various concentrations.The lethal effects of the both drugs and the apoptosis rates on CNE2/DDP cells were then measured separately with MTT assay and flow cytometry,the mRNA expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax in CNE2,CNE2/DDP and CNE2/DDP/Bev cells were detected with semi-quantitative RT-PCR.Results The killing rate in 10?g/ml bevacizumab group was similar to that of blank group(0.0?4.1% vs.5.2?4.3%,P=0.180),while the rates of combination of 10?g/ml bevacizumab and DDP(0.1?g/ml and 0.2?g/ml,separately) were higher than that of using DDP only(42.3?6.5% vs.34.4?5.4%,P=0.041;62.6?5.5% vs.50.0?5.9%,P=0.009).The apoptotic rate of CNE2/DDP,which was caused by combining 0.1?g/ml DDP and 10?g/ml bevacizumab,was much higher than what was produced by DDP alone(87.29?3.38% vs.50.58?8.83%,P=0.049).By means of semi-quantitative RT-PCR assay,the expressions of Bcl-2 mRNA in CNE2,CNE2/DDP and CNE2/DDP/Bev cells were 0.613,0.952 and 0.135,respectively.Meanwhile,the expressions of Bax mRNA were 0.665,0.387 and 1.751,separately.Conclusion Bevacizumab can greatly increase the drug sensitivity of CNE2/DDP cells to DDP;apoptosis is inhibited in MDR cells,but it can be promoted by bevacizumab.

OBJECTIVE To find out the status of and impact factors on bacterial concentration in clean operating room.METHODS Set a questionnaire to the staff in the operating room of 24 tertiary 3A hospitals.RESULTS The 9 basic questions got correct and accordant answers.The answers for the 5 questions which were related to the characteristic of clean operating room had biger errors and difference.CONCLUSIONS The investigatees know about the basic requirements of the detecting method for bacterial concentration,but lack for the exact cognition of special requirements in clean operating room(e.g.State standard).The sticking point of the current problem is the misunderstanding on the 5 key questions.In order to make sure the excellent air condition in the cleaning operating room,the training of correlative specialty is very important.

Maternity insurance is a policy support of China for women of child-bearing age.Given its good outcomes since it is enforced clinically,such insurance has been confronted with challenges as well.Doctors and nurses of Ob/Gyn departments serve as both protectors of parturient women's interests and practioners of the economic and social interests of the hospital.This paper summarized the experiences of maternity insurance of the Ob/Gyn department of the hiospital in rencent 6 years.The hospital has had 2026 inpationts covered by maternity insurance,without any medical disputes and harvesting a cash surplus of 657145 yuan.Such doctors and nurses are found to play a key role in ensuring a good doctor-patient relationship,and serve as clinival references for the single-disease management and teaching of the hospital.
