Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of two parenteral nutrition (PN)methods in preterm infants. Methods Forty-two preterm infants who could not tolerate full enteral feeding were randomly divided into two groups. Twenty-two cases of the experimental group started to receive amino acids (AA) by 1.0 g/(kg·d) within 24 h after birth. Then AA was increased by 1.0 g/(kg·d)each day to maximum of 3.0 g/(kg·d)The dose and add method of intralipid was given alike AA within 48 h. Complete PN was achieved 5 d after birth. Twenty cases of the control group started to receive AA by 0. 5 g/(kg·d) ,and then increased by 0. 5 g/(kg·d) each day to maximum of 3.0 g/(kg ·d). The dose and add method of intralipid was given alike AA after 72 h. Complete PN was achieved at 8 or 9 d after birth. The feeding results was observed,the blood biochemistry was monitored at 72 h and 10 d after birth,and the incidence of complication was recorded. Results In comparison with the control group, time returning to birth weight, the weight loss rate, PN time and time returning to full enteral feeding were shorter in the experimental group (P <0. 01). There were no significant differences in the blood glucose,total bilirubin, urea nitrogen,carbon dioxide combining power,total cholesterol and the incidence of complication between the two groups (P > 0. 05). Conclusion Quantity sufficient and early parenteral nutrition can be tolerated by preterm infants within 24 h after birth.

The DNA copy-number variant (CNV) is a kind of segments of DNA ranging from 1 kb to 3 Mb that is present in a variable number of copies.CNVs widely distribute across the human genome,and dramatically increases genetic diversity.In recent years,researches have found that most CNVs are closely related to complex diseases.If a cancer gene is directly encompassed or overlapped by a CNV,it may lead to activation of oncogenes or inactivation of tumor suppressor genes,and finally results in tumorigenesis.CNVs can affect gene expression,phenotype differences and phenotypic adaptations by changing gene dosages and gene activities,and then sequentially lead to tumor or any other genetic dieases.Investigating CNVs is apparently helpful for studing chromosome recombination,genomic evolution,gene expression and the pathogenesis of multiple complex diseases especially tumor.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of multidisciplinary integrated treatment and management model in the medical management of elderly patients.Methods 226 elderly patients treated in our hospital from October 2014 to December 2015 were randomly divided into observation group and control group,113 cases in each group.Patients in the control group were treated with traditional medical management model,while patients in the observation group were treated with multidisciplinary integrated treatment and management model.The therapeutic effect,hospital stay,incidence of complications,treatment satisfaction,MMSE score,FCA score and Tinetti score between the two groups were compared.Results The total effective rate (95.58%) in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (79.65%) (χ2=13.21,P=0.000).The mortality rate in the observation group (1.77%) was significantly lower than 7.96% in the control group (χ2=4.68,P=0.004).The satisfaction rate of the observation group (92.04%) was significantly higher than 77.88% of the control group (χ2=8.86,P=0.003).The MMSE score[(25.17±4.43)points],FCA score[(77.35±8.35)points]and Tinetti score[(26.45±4.25)points]of the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group[(20.13±3.07) points,(65.32±8.88) points and (21.03±3.30) points,t=-2.93,-3.11,-3.18;P=0.025,0.014,0.006].Conclusion Multidisciplinary integrated treatment management model can significantly increase the therapeutic effect,shorter hospital stay,reduce the incidence of complications,improve patients' satisfaction,and improve the quality of life,so it is a new type of efficient and rational therapeutic management model and worthy of clinical promoting.

AIM: To investigate the effects of pioglitazone on corneal neovascularization(CNV)induced by alkali burnin rats and on expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (b-FGF).METHODS: CNV was induced by alkaline burn in rats which were then administered pioglitazone subconjunctivally.Corneal angiogenesis was evaluated and observed with a slit lamp microscope and the VEGF and b-FGF level were determined by immunohistochemistry and Western blot at different intervals.RESULTS: The CNV of the rats was shown two days after alkaline burn, and reached its highest level in 7-10 days. The mean values of the area and length of neovascularization and the VEGF and b-FGF levels in the pioglitazone-treated group were significantly lower than those in the control group at various time.CONCLUSTON: Local application of pioglitazone could remarkably inhibit CNV, probably by means of downregulation of VEGF and b-FGF expression.

The Risk-sharing agreements have achieved remarkable success in improving patients'access to drugs, lowering the uncertainty of the drugs cost-effectiveness, financial risk control and other aspects of medical in-surance fund , so they have attracted widespread attention by the concerned governments and insurers .This paper sys-tematically reviewed the patient access schemes in UK from several aspects , including the origin of the program , clas-sification , application processes and the implementation effects as well .The results of the research indicated that Chi-na has basically met the conditions for implementation of the risk-sharing agreements .In order to gradually promote the risk-sharing agreements implementation , this paper suggests that China should clarify the main root of risk-sharing agreements implementation , establish risk-sharing agreements standardization process and strengthen the application of health technology assessment in health resources allocation to improve the Chinese medicines bargaining system more scientifically and efficiently .

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of different doses of caffeine on premature apnea.Methods 80 patients with apnea were divided into observation group and control group,each group in 40cases.The two groups applicated caffeine citrate.The control group received the basal dose, first application of 20 mg/kg, intravenous injection, intravenous injection of 5 mg/kg after 24 h.The observation group was treated with intravenous injection of 10 mg/kg after 24 h.The treatment period was 7 d.The therapeutic effect, blood gas and oxygenation index and adverse reactions were observed in the two groups.Results The effective rate of the observation group was 92.5%,which was significantly higher than 75.0% of the control group(x2=4.501,P<0.05).After treatment, the duration[(9.05±1.82)s vs (13.53±2.63)s]and lost time[(2.52±0.94)h vs (3.42±1.13)h]of apnea in the observation group were longer than those of the control group.The number of seizures[(22.15±4.16) vs (33.53±8.48)]was less than that of the control group,the differences were statistically significant(t=8.767,5.434,9.231,all P<0.05).After treatment, PaO2[(84.74±9.74)mmHg vs (71.46±8.53)mmHg],PaCO2[(42.62±4.15)mmHg vs (48.54±5.18)mmHg]and PaO2/FiO2[(221.52±26.51)mmHg vs (197.76±21.71)mmHg]in the observation group were significantly better than those of the control group(t=7.574,4.765,8.643,all P<0.05).The incidence rate of adverse reactions include tachycardia, hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia and restlessness had no significant difference between the two groups (15.0% vs 10.0%, P>0.05).Conclusion In the treatment of premature apnea, advanced caffeine citrate treatment can better improve the clinical symptoms and blood gas index, the curative effect is reliable.
