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.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a general term for heterogeneous disorders affecting kidney structure and function.It can be detected by routine laboratory tests.Acute kidney injury ( AKI),previously referred to as acute renal failure(ARF), represents a persistent problem in clinical medicine.Despite significant improvements in therapeutics,the mortality and morbidity associated with AKI remain high.A major reason for this is the lack of markers for early diagnosis of AKI.In this paper,we discuss recommendations for AKI and CKD laboratory assessment and management,and future challenges.( Chin J Lab Med,2012,35:773-779)

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy and safty of combined treatment telmisartan plus simvastatin on early diabetic nephropathy. Methods46 patients with early diabetic nephropathy were randomly divided into two groups. Control group ( n ＝ 23 ) received regular insulin therapy, captopril l0mg tid. Study group received telmisartan 80mg qd plus simvastatin 20mg qd on the basis of control group therapy. All patients received 16 weeks treatment. The clinical parameters were measured before and after therapy. ResultsAfter 16 weeks treatment,the urine MAU in both study group and control group were significantly decreased( all P ＜0. 01 ) ,however,the urine MAU in telmisartan plus simvastatin combination group decreased significantly than control group( P ＜ 0. 01 ). Improvement of lipid level in the study group better than the control group( P ＜0. 01 ). Kidney function,fasting blood glucose levels and HbAlc had no significant changes before and after treatment. ConclusionTelmisartan plus simvastatin combined treatment was better than the traditional therapy,which can delay the development of early diabetic nephropathy.

Dendritic cells (DCs) are the important auxiliary cells in tumor vaccines to activate antitumor immunity.Suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 ( SOCS1 ) has been shown to play an important role in inhibition of cytokine signal transduction.Recent studies show that inhibition of the function of SOCS1 in DCs plays a critical role in strongly enhancing tumor vaccines antitumor activity,and in the methods of restraining SOCS1 's function have also made significant progress.

Objective To investigate the influence of humanistic care on patients in the operation room.Methods 80 cases of surgery patients from November 2010 to October 2011 were given humanistic care,another 80 patients before implementation of humanistic care were chosen,and the satisfaction degree of doctors and patients and recovery of patients before and after the implementation of humanistic care were compared.Results After the implementation of humanistic care,the recovery of patients improved.The total satisfaction degree of patients and doctors reached 93.2％ and 98.1％,significantly higher than those before the impIementation,which were 82.1％ and 90.2％.Conclusions Implementation of humanistic care can improve the psychological and physical state of surgery patients,and help them gain better recovery.

We reconstructed and compared 3D digital models of basal ganglia of human and rat. After selecing the sections con-taining basal ganglia from sterotoxic atlases of human and rat, 3D digital model of basal ganglia of human and rat was recon-structed by using general-purpose 3D modeling and animation software 3D Studio MAX and its 3D loft function. Several modifi-cation processes were done then to make the digital model more smooth. The 3D digital models of basal ganglia of human and ratwere successfully constructed and the comparative neuroanatomy study was conducted. The virtual reality technics was then in-troduced into this study, using internet browser, digitalized basal ganglia could be rotated, detached and resembled arbitrarily.Our study showed: (1) No matter on their morohology or their components, there were little differeces.(2) Due to ortho-statism, the rostro-caudal axis of human brain was rotated with certain angle, as the result, the relative positions among nucleiof human basal ganglia did differ from that of rat. (3) The projection fibers arrived the correspoding part of their target nucleiwith the shortest way, which might become the basis of the basal ganglia intrinsic topological projection.
