ncreased. But it remains controversial how vaspin is correlated with insulin sensitivity. More studies based on large population are needed to identify the associ-ation between vaspin and insulin sensitivity.

Objective To investigate the influencing factors of children pneumonia hospitalization expense and provide refer‐ence for its expense control .Methods Path analysis was performed on the hospitalization expense and its influencing factors based on 927 pneumonia children in a hospital in Chongqing in 2011 .Results Multivariate regression analyasis showed that the influen‐cing factors of children pneumonia hospitalization expense were proportion of drug expense ,length of hospital stay ,type of pay‐ment ,admission condition ,therapeutic outcome and age .The coefficient of determination (R2 =0 .867 ,F=597 .552 ,P<0 .01) .Be‐sides ,proportion of drugs ,admission condition and therapeutic outcome had indirect effects by influencing hospital stay .The coeffi‐cient of determination (R2 =0 .506 F=330 .336 ,P<0 .01) .According to the total coefficient of path analysis ,the factors of influen‐cing hospitalization expense were listed in descending order as follows :proportion of drug expense ,length of hospital stay ,therapeu‐tic outcome ,type of payment ,admission condition and age .Conclusion Reducing drug proportion ,length of hospital stay ,and strengthening supervision on medicare patients′ expense are effective measurements to control children pneumonia hospitalization ex penses .

Objective To determine the expression of membrane-bound B lymphocyte stimulator (Blys) and Blys mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and investigate the relationship between Blys mRNA expression and SLE activity or lupus nephritis. Methods Measure the expression of Blys mRNA with reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) in PBMCs from patients with SLE, who were separated into active group (n=26) and inactive group (n=20) according to the SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI) and 20 healthy volunteers; analyze the relationship among Blys mRNA and several clinical items; measure the expression of membrane-bound Blys with flow cytometry (FACs) in 20 patients with SLE and 16 healthy controls. Results The expression of Blys mRNA in PBMCs from patients with SLE was significantly elevated compared to healthy controls (P

Objective To investigate air bacteria pollution and the rule of microbes spread in some markets in Guangzhou, aiming at prevention and forecast airborne pathogenic microbes. Bacteria and Staphylococcus aureus were collected to provide reference on evaluation and of the spread of through the air in public. Methods Gravity exposure of microbial media plates was used to sample the airborne bacteria in eight different markets in Guangzhou on a given day, from 2003 to 2005. The simulated experiment in the laboratory was conducted based on the results of natural sampling stations. Results Samples taken at different times showed wide variations with quantities of airborne bacteria (total count) and Staphylococcus aureus ranged from 95 to 1.5?104 cfu per petri dish and from 2 to 1.2?104 cfu per petri dish respectively. Movement of airborne bacteria in the market obeyed quadratic equation pattern. The spread distance of airborne bacteria was among 24 to 26 meters. Maximum airborne bacteria were detected from 17:00 o'clock to 19:00 o'clock in a day. Conclusion The count of market airborne bacteria is markedly more than the limits stipulated in the related national standard GB 9670-1996. Live fowls sold in the markets are the main carriers of bacteria and the potential pollution resource of pathogenic bacteria.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and procedures of semi-open establishment of pneumoperitoneum(SOEPP) for laparoscopic surgery in patients with a history of abdominal surgery. Methods 117,patients,with a history of abdominal surgery received SOEPP and were retrospectively reviewed from October 1994 to January 2002. Results Out of 117 patients,pneumoperitoneum was established successfully in 115 cases by SOEPP.The successful rate of SOEPP was 98 3%(115/117). Conclusions SOEPP is a safe and feasible method in most patients with abdominal operative history.

Object To study and identify the chemical constituents of Bombyx Batryticatus. Methods The constituents were isolated from the above materials by column chromatography using silica gel and Sephadex LH-20, purified by crystallization, and identified by spectroscopic methods. Results Eight compounds were isolated and identified. They are 6-methoxy-7-O-?-D-(4′-methoxy) glucopyranosyl coumarin (Ⅰ), ergost-6, 22-dien-3?, 5?, 8?-triol (Ⅱ), palmitic acid (Ⅲ), meso-erythritol (Ⅳ), D-mannitol (Ⅴ), uracil (Ⅵ), ?-sitosterol (Ⅶ), and daucosterol (Ⅷ). Conclusion Coumpound Ⅰ is a new coumarin glycoside.

Hyperuricemia(HUA),which can induce oxidative stress,endothelial dysfunction,and inflammation,is closely relevant to the metabolic syndrome(MS),such as obesity,impaired fasting blood glucose,hyper-triglyceridemia,and hypertension. Moreover,HUA is of reciprocal causation with insulin resistance(IR). Here,for the prevention and treatment of metabolic diseases such as HUA and MS,the interaction and the regulatory mechanism between MS and HUA are summarized,and the situation that HUA is an important complication of MS is illustrated.

Natural polysaccharides are a kind of hydrophilic polymers.By grafting hydrophobic moieties to the polysaccharide backbone,could form self-assembled micelle with core-shell structure in aqueous by undergoing intramolecular or intermolecular association between hydrophobic moieties.The self-assembly micelles of amphiphilic polysaccharides provides a positive outlook for drug delivery systems with biodegradability,low antigenicity,good biocompatibility and so on.This review focus on biological activity of amphiphilic polysaccharide as self-assembly carriers,the principle of self-assembly of polymeric micelles,and the recent progress in hydrophobic modification of natural polysaccharides.

In order to verify the origin relations of Zhouhou Emergency and modern clinical medicine in emergency treatments,we choose Zhouhou Emergency as study object,and try to verify four treatments including artificial respiration,urethral catheterization,surgical infection and hemostasis. Through tracing back to the initiation and developing history of modern medical technique,it fixes its position in modern emergency treatments,and affirms the important roll of Chinese ancient books in promoting the techniques of modern emergency science.
