Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of incipient neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. Methods The clinical data of admitted neonates with hyperbilirubinemia were retrospectively analyzed from June 2012 to May 2013. Results Two hundred and eight-four neonates with hyperbilirubinemia were enrolled and the ratio of male:female was 1.51:1. For the causes of hyperbilirubinemia, the incidences of ABO hemolytic and sepsis were higher in term infants than those in preterm infants, and the incidences of pneumonia, necrotizing enterocolitis and intracranial hemorrhage were higher in preterm infants than those in term infants (P<0.05). Compared with the preterm infants, the term infants had jaundice appearance and peak at earlier time, shorter duration of jaundice, faster decline rate of jaundice, higher levels of albumin and indirect bilirubin at the peak of jaundice (P<0.01). In the term infants, the time of jaundice appearance and peak were earlier in hemolytic group than those in non-hemolytic group (P<0.05). In preterm infants, the peak of transcutaneous bilirubin was higher in hemolytic group than that in non-hemolytic group (P<0.05). Six cases with bilirubin encephalopathy had abnormalities cranial MRI imaging, and the MRI was not entirely consistent with the peak level of bilirubin. Conclusions There are clinical differences between hemolytic and non-hemolytic hyperbilirubinemia in both term and preterm infants.

This paper is to test the physical precision of SGS-I?-knife treatment system. The total positional precision and?-treatement planning system (?-TPS) planning misdose are tested by film and ionization chamber. The precision of head target location is less than 0.88mm. The body target is less than 1.52mm. The error of single target point between the measured and the predicted doses is less than 0.52% and the error of multi target points is less than 3%. The isodose distribution (on axial plane) from the film is consistent with the predicted one. So, SGS-I?-knife can meet clinical requirements.

Objective To establish an experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH)model with endo- cerebrovascular peroration.Method The right external carotid artery of SD rats were isolated,leaving a stump of approximately 3 to 4 mm.A-3-O monofilament nylon suture was inserted up through the stump of external carotid artery to the internal carotid artery for about 18～19 mm.A small resistance was usually felt,and the suture was then advanced 2 mm further and the suture was immediately withdrawn.Two hours or two days after SAH induction,SAH extension was observed.Two days after SAH induction,the diameter of the basilar artery was measured.Results SAH extends from the ipsilateral artery to the eontralateral artery after SAH induction.The diameters of basilar arteries in SAH animals were smaller than those of control rats,indicating the present of cerebrovascular spasm in SAH animals.Conclusions The endo-cerebrovascular perforation technique for establishing a non-craniotomy SAH model is reliable.

T mutation was detected in the 4th propositus at the 9th intron,but any COL1A1 or COL1A2 gene mutation was detected in the third propositus and the other members in the former families.Conclusions The genetic mutation of COL1A1 may result in OI in China,but other mutations may also exist.Moreover,the phenotype was influenced not only by OI genotype,but also by the genetic background,environment and other factors.

Objective To improve the knowledge about controlling plague in cadres, masses, and the medical staff in plague affected area in Dinghian county of Shaanxi province and to assess the efforts of health education activities. Methods In 2008, the education activities carded out by the government-related departments were investigated. The awareness of plague control and assessment was obtained through a written survey, questionnaire and interviews on clinic. Results Some education activities were carried out in plague area of Dingbian county, such as training, issuing educational materials, broadcasting plague scientific educational films and arranging knowledge grand prix. The rates of knowing plague clinic, epidemiology, prevention and the "three prohibitions and three alerts to report" were as follows: the cadres were 50.50%(101/200),63.69%(414/650),78.67%(118/150), the masses were 64.71% (66/102),87.91% (269/306),76.47% (78/102) and the medical staff were 64.18% (543/846) ,68.51%(322/470),67.02%(63/94). The passing rates of the cadres, the masses and the medical staff were 70.00% (35/50),92.16% (47/51),74.47% (35/47). Conclusions Health education can strengthen health consciousness of cadres and masses and improve the ability of the medical stalf on controlling sudden epidemic situation. Reinforcing plague control knowledge and training of medical staff are still important for health education in the future.

OBJECTIVETo compare the short-term clinical outcome between unilateral fixation fusion (ULF) and minimally invasive spine transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) in treating lumbar disc herniation (LDH).

METHODSThe clinical data of 39 patients with LDH were retrospectively analyzed from June 2008 to March 2013. There was 22 males and 17 females, aged from 45 to 75 years old with an average of 56.9 years. Therer were 3 cases in L3,4, 15 cases in L4,5, 21 cases in L5S1. Among them, 21 patients underwent unilateral fixation fusion (ULF group) and 18 underwent minimally invasive spine transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF group). Operation time, blood loss, the times of radiographic exposure and hospital stay were noted and compared between two groups. Radiograph informations were regularily accessed and VAS, ODI scores were recorded at 3 days and 3, 6, 12 months after operation, respectively. According to modified Macnab criteria, the clinical effects were evaluated at final follow-up.

RESULTSAll operations were successful without severe complications. The averaged operative time and the times of radiographic exposure in ULF group [(95 ± 25) min and (4.2 ± 0.4) times] were less than that of MIS-TLIF group [(120 ± 35) min and (10.1 ± 3.9) times] (P < 0.05). But, the mean blood loss and hospital stay in MIS-TLIF group [(75 ± 45) ml and (7.2 ± 2.2)d ]were less than that of ULF group [(165 ± 60) ml and (11.0 ± 3.7) d] (P < 0.01). All patients were followed up from 12 to 45 months with an average of 29.5 months. The VAS and ODI score had significantly improved during the follow-up and no significant differences were found between two groups at the same time point (P > 0.05). The postoperative radiographs showed internal fixation position was good. And all patients obtained bone fusion by CT scan at 1 year after operation. There was no significant differences in modified Macnab criteria between two groups at the latest follow-up (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONFavorable short-term clinical effects can be achieved in suitable LDH patients with ULF or MIS-TLIF surgical procedures.
