Rapid prototyping technology, a kind of novel digital prototyping technology developed in mid-1980s based on a principle of discrete and accumulation, which fabricates a prototype by accurate accumulation of material according to the CAD models or CT data under the control of the computer without any other device. In recent years, it has shown a great application prospect in the field of orthopedics combined with three-dimensional image reconstruction of spiral CT and MRL In this article, review is given on the application development of rapid prototyping technology in orthopedics, such as organ model preparation and surgical planning, customized implant and bone tissue engineering porosity scaffold fabrication.

Stimuli-sensitive drug delivery system (SSDDS) is an novel drug delivery carrier.It is sensitive to either the internal physiopathologic changes (pH,temperature) of the body or external stimulus signal (ultrasound,magnetic signal) and controls the release of the drugs that it carries according to the variation of physicochemical property which stimulated by the signals.SSDDS can be prepared from hydrogels,liposomes and magnetic nanoparticles.In contrast to non-stimuli-responsive drug delivery system,SSDDS has remarkable advantages including feedback regulation,stronger controllability and targeting therapy.This paper will review the advancement in stimuli-responsive drug delivery system in recent years.

Objective To investigate the risk factors in the outcome of neonatal pulmonary hemorrhage. Methods A total of 69 cases of neonatal pulmonary hemorrhage from January 2005 to December 2011 were studied. They were divided into 2 groups according to clinical outcome (death or alive). The data of the two groups were compared using single factor analysis. The risk factors were analyzed using multi-factor analysis. Results The death of neonates with pulmonary hemorrhage was correlated with aspiration pneumonia, coagulation abnormalities, DIC, heart failure and MPV. Multi-factor analysis showed that DIC (OR=6.90, 95%CI:1.514-31.419), heart failure (OR=9.62, 95%CI:1.710-54.150) and MPV<11 prior to pulmonary hemorrhage (OR=7.01, 95%CI:1.475-33.312) were the independent risk factors of neonatal pulmonary hemorrhage. Conclusions For the neonatal pulmonary hemorrhage with DIC, heart failure and low MPV, active intervention should be implemented.

OBJECTIVE:To establish the content determination method of Icariin in Fucongxiang liquid by HPLC.METHODS:HPLC was performed to determine Icariin on VP-ODS column.The mobile phase was acetonitrile:water(30∶70).Detecting wavelength was270nm.RESULTS:The detected concentration of Icariin was in the good linear range of2.8～28.0?g/ml(r=1.0000),and the average recovery was100.03%(RSD=0.54%,n=5).CONCLUSIONS:The estab-lished method is simple,sensitive,accurate and available for the quality control of Fucongxiang liquid.

Objective To explore the correlations between the levels of glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)and N-Terminal pro-Brain Natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)in aged diabetes mellitus(DM)patients with heart failure(HF).Methods 127 patients diagnosed as DM complicated by HF and detected HbA1c and NT-proBNP when admitted into hospital,were divided into three groups according to the levels of HBA1C as follows:group A,4%≤HbA1c≤6.9%;group B,7%≤HbA1≤7.9%;group C,HbA1c≥8%.The levels of NT-proBNP were measured and compared.Results There was no statistical difference between group A and B(P＞0.05),where as the　levels of NT-proBNP in group C increased significantly than that in group A and B(P＜0.01);In group C,HbA1c was linear positively correlated to NT-proBNP(r=0.558,P＜0.01).Conclusion Aged DM patients complicated by HF,the level of HbA1c between 4%and 7.9%was acceptable.Meawhile,HhA1c should the independent risk prediction factor for aged DM patients complicated by HF,which could be used as the guide to the clinical therapy to improve the prognosis.

Carotid stenosis is an important modifiable risk factor in ischemic stroke.The com prehensive diagnosis of carotid stenosis,including the comprehensive understanding of stenosis degree,plaque stability,and head and neck vessels,which has important guiding significance for the prevention and treatment of ischemic stroke.This article reviews the diagnostic values of digital subtraction angiography,sonography,magnetic resonance angiography and CT angiorgaphy in carotid stenosis.

Liver transplantation is a valid treatment option for select patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma HCC and end-stage liver disease. However, in approximately 20% of patients, recurrent HCC is the rate-limiting factor for longterm survival. Despite identification of clinical parameters that may stratify patients at high risk and exhaustive preoperative staging, cancer recurrence is likely the result of microscopic extrahepatic disease. With a desperate donor organ shortage, locoregional ablation techniques and resection are being employed in patients on the waiting list to serve as a bridge to OLT. Further more, some have advocated aggressive surgical resection of isolated metastasis in both the liver and extrahepatic viscera. Whether these creative strategies confer a survival advantage is unknown, requiring longterm follow-up to determine their efficacy.

Objective To summarize the method and experience of pharmaceutical care for a patient with insulin resistant. Methods The rationality of the treatment plan was analyzed by the clinical pharmacist, and the entire pharmaceutical care process was implemented to the patient. Results Doctors took the advice of clinical pharmacists, perfected the treatment plan. The treatment was safe and effective. The patient was discharged with a better health condition. Conclusion Clinical pharmacist integrates in the treatment team,and to promote the rational use of drugs.
