Non-invasive transcutaneous monitoring(TCM) of oxygen and carbon dioxide,with continuous,non-invasive characteristics,is in common use and significant in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU),which can directly reflect critically ill newborns'changes of respiratory and circulatory function.This review describes how to use TCM appropriately,compares the advantages and disadvantages of TCM with other monitoring devices,introduces its application in neonatal transport and NICU.

Purpose:To study the salvage treatment of recurrent intermediate—high grade non Hodgkin lymphoma(NHL). Methods:24 cases of recurrent intermediate—high NHL were divided into two groups: 10 cases with poor prognostic factors in group one(G1), 14 cases without poor prognostic factors in group two(G2).All cases were treated with ifosfamide(IFO), mitoxantrone(Mx), pingyangmycine(PYM), prednisone(Pred) (IMPP). IFO 1.5 g/m 2 iv on days 1 to 4, and mesna iv at hours;0, 4, 8 Mx 8 mg/m 2 on day 1; PYM 5mg/m 2 im on days 8 and 15; and Pred 100mg/d po on days 1 to 5. Every 4 weeks as one cycle. Assessment was given after 2 cycles. Results:The total CR rate was 58.3%(14/24), RR 79.2%(19/24). The CR rate was 30%(3/10), RR 60%(6/10) in G1 and the CR rate was 78.5% (11/14), RR 92.8%(13/14) in G2 ,respeetively. The difference of the two groups in CR and RR was significant( P

Objective: To explore the efficacy and mechanism of warm needling moxibustion plus percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) due to kidney deficiency and blood stasis. Methods: A total of 70 OVCF patients were randomized into a control group and an observation group, with 35 cases in each group. The control group was given PKP treatment, and the observation group was treated with warm needling moxibustion on the basis of the treatment in the control group. The visual analog scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were scored and the Cobb angle of fractured vertebrae was measured before and after treatment. The re-fracture rate of the adjacent vertebrae was recorded at 1-year follow-up. The serum levels of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 and omentin-1 were measured before and after treatment. Results: After treatment, the VAS and ODI scores in both groups decreased (all P<0.05), and all the scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (both P<0.05). After treatment, the Cobb angle of fractured vertebrae in both groups decreased (both P<0.05), and the Cobb angle in the observation group was smaller than that in the control group (P<0.05). At 1-year follow-up, the re-fracture rate of the adjacent vertebrae in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the serum levels of TGF-β1 and omentin-1 in both groups increased significantly (all P<0.05), and the serum levels of TGF-β1 and omentin-1 in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (both P<0.05). Conclusion: The treatment of warm needling moxibustion plus PKP can relieve pain, improve dysfunction, promote healing of the injured vertebrae, and reduce the re-fracture rate of the adjacent vertebrae in patients with OVCF due to kidney deficiency and blood stasis, which may be related to the increase of serum TGF-β 1 and omentin-1 levels.

In the scientific,systematic,practical and feasible principles,the quality control needs and management needs of health authorities and medical institutions were analyzed.The study probed into the real-time monitoring functions of existing hospital information systems and information products of IT technology firms,and the feasibility of setting up key monitoring points during medical service processes.685 real-time monitoring indicators have been set up for real-time monitoring of medical process quality.

The article describes the development of new magnetic bead separation and purification instrument. The main application of the instrument is to capture tubercle bacillus from sputum. It is a pretreatment instrument and provides a new platform to help doctors to diagnose bacillary phthisis. Not only could it be used for tubercle bacillus capturing, but also for gene, protein and cell separating and purification. Because the controller of the instrument is 16-bit single chip microcomputer, the cost could be greatly reduced and it will be widely used in China.

This paper introduced the nursing care of an elderly patient with severe pemphigus complicated with septicemia,such as specialized skin care,treatment with hormones and antibiotics,observation of drug effects,as well as hemoculture,nutrition and psychological care.The patient cooperated well with clinical treatment and was discharged with recovery 37 days later.

Objective To investigate the effect of slow-acting antirheumatic drugs on lipid profile and disease activity index in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods Eighty-two patients with RA who met the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria were treated with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs including methopterin (MTX), salazosulfapyridine (SASP) and hydroxychloroquine sulfate, while seventy-nine healthy volunteers were used for control. All persons were followed up for 12 months. The observations included 28 joint indices score (DAS-28), lipid profile, c-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). Results Compared with the control group before treatment, RA patients exhibited higher serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglycerides. Whereas, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was significantly lower. After 12 months treatment, the disease activity index[(6.7±0.6)vs. (2.1±0.9)], ESR [(62±18)mm/h vs. (13±9)mm/h] and CRP [(2.2±0.3 ) mg/L vs. (0. 3±0.2 ) mg/L, all P<0.01] were significantly decreased and HDL-C [1.0±0. 1)mmol/L vs. (1.5±0. 3)mmol/L, P<0. 01] was increased in RA patients. Conclusions RA patients are characterized by an atherogenic lipid profile, which are improved after therapy. Immuno-intervention to control disease activity may reduce the risks for the atherosclerotic process and cardiovascular events in RA patients.

The changes of immune system following stroke mainly includes the local inflammatory responses of brain tissue and the systemic immunological changes, The former may exacerbate brain damage following stroke, the latter may increase the susceptibility to infection, and thus impact on brain function recovery and prognosis. Stroke interferes with the normal balance between the nervous system and the immune system, and its mechanism remains unclear. This article reviews the stroke-indnced immunological alterations and their mechanisms,as well as the corresponding treatment strategies in clinical practice.

Bcl-2 family plays an important role in cell apoptosis pathway. The ratio of pro-apoptosis members and anti-apoptosis members closely correlates with tumorigenesis, tumor radiosensitivity and progno-sis. Recent years ,according to the correlation of Bcl-2 family and tumor radiosensitivity, many researchers want to find new therapeutic strategies that target Bcl-2 in clinical radiotherapy.
