【Objective】 To study the risk factors of Hepatitis B Virus intrauterine transmission. 【Method】 Cordal blood from 87 HBV carrier's newborns was tested for HBV markers and PCR-HBV-DNA. Maternal venous blood po stpartum was tested for HBV markers. 【Results】 HBV-DNA positive rate of corda l blood is 1.2%(1/86). Odds Ratio(OR) of positive maternal HBsAb, HBeAg, HBeAb and HBcAb for intrauterine infection are 0.697(0.586～0.786), 50.792(13.082 ～197.204), 0.103(0.032～0.338) and 2.261(0.587～8.712), respectively. Co rdal HBsAg positive rate of maternal HBeAg positive group was significantly high er than that of only HBsAg positive group (31.0% vs 3.92%), so was cordal HBeA g positive rate (72.4% vs 3.92%). Maternal HBeAg was significantly correla ted with cordal HBsAg, especially HBeAg. Newborn sex wasn′t correlated with intraut erine infection. 【Conclusion】 Positive maternal HBeAg was one risk factor of i ntrauterine HBV infection. Newborn sex wasn′t correlated with intrauterine infe ction.

OBJECTIVE:To determine the concentration of cefdinir in rat plasma,and investigate its pharmacokinetics. METH-ODS:High performance capillary electrophoresis (HPCE) was adopted by using fused-silica capillary (75 μm,total length of 30 cm,effective length of 21.5 cm),buffer solution of 20 mmol/L citric acid,injection voltage of 10 kV for 10 s,separation voltage of -20 kV,and detection wavelength of 214 nm. 6 rats were intragastrically received cefdinir solution(20 mg/kg). 0.2 mL blood sample was taken from the tail vein before and 0.25,0.5,1,1.5,2,3,4,6,12,24 h after administration. BAPP 2.0 software was used to calculate the pharmacokinetics parameters. RESULTS:The linear range of cedinir ranged 0.2-50 μg/mL(r=0.9997), lower limit of quantification was 0.2 μg/mL. The intra-day(n=6)and inter-day RSDs of(n=3)precision test were no more than 12.2%;RSD of stability test was no more than 9.10%(n=6);method recovery rate was 95.4%-114.3%(RSD=9.0%,n=6);matrix effect was 63.5%-70.2%(RSD=10.39%,n=6). The t1/2 of cefdinir in rats in vivo was(0.54±0.01)h,MRT was(1.90± 0.14)h,cmax was(32.92±0.81)μg/mL,tmax was(1.50±0.02)h,AUC0-24 h was(46.65±0.44)μg·h/mL and AUC0-∞was(46.83± 0.44)μg·h/mL. CONCLUSIONS:The method is rapid,accurate and simple,and can be used for the determination of cefdinir con-centration in rat plasma and its pharmacokinetics research.

A total of 296 patients were randomly divided into short message group (n =153) and non short message group (n =143).The former group received short message service (SMS) for follow-ups while the latter group had routine oral follow-ups.The return visit rate,recall rate of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c),HbAlc level and glucose control rate for diabetics were assessed after one-year follow-up.The return visit rate (96％) and recall rate of HbAlc (78％) in the short message group were significantly higher than those in the non-short message group (59％,25％,P ＜0.01 for both).The HbAlc level after one-year follow-up (6.51 ± 0.74) ％ was lower than that one year before (6.85 ± 1.26) ％ in the short message group.The glucose control rate after one year (82％) were significantly higher than that one year before in the short message group (65％) and that after one year in the non-short message group(59％,P ＜ 0.01).Use of SMS platform system for follow-ups and health education can effectively improve the return visit rate and glucose control rate,lower the HbA1c level.in diabetics.

Objective To identify whether the branches of cervical nerve roots joined into the accessory nerve trunk or not.Methods In 10 adult cadavers (7 males and 3 females, including 20 laterals of brachial plexus nerves), we observe source of cervical plexus branches to the accessory nerve anatomically.In 10 clinical cases of males with brachial plexus nerve injures, in the supraclavicular approach of brachial plexus exploration, the part of the supraclavicular cutaneous nerve for histological specimen were cut off;in the posterior approach, electrical stimulation of the trunk and branches of cervical plexus were performed to observed istaltrapezius muscle contraction.After accessory nerve transfer, the residual terminal accessory nerve and branch of cervical plexus were taked for histological specimens;and observed and judged of each nerve sample by acetylcholinesterase (AchE) immunohistochemical staining.Results In 10 of 20 lateral cases, cervical plexus communicating branches were derived from the fourth cervical nerve root.The intraoperative electrical stimulation of the accessory nerve trunk, 10 cases of distal trapezius muscle were significantly shrink;electrical stimulation of the cervical plexus branch, 2 cases after stimulation of the mild distal trapezius contraction, the remaining 8 cases without trapezius muscle contraction.10 cases of supraclavicular nerve staining for AchE were negative, 10 cases of accessory nerve terminal branches of AchE staining were mixed,10 cases of branch AchE cervical plexus to the accessory nerve staining were negative.Conclusion The branches of the fourth cervical nerve root constantly joins into the accessory nerve, participating in the trapezius muscle inner vation, the fibers of the branches are sensorial fibers.

As a new interdisciplinary course, the current paper writing course for medical postgraduates exhibits certaln disadvantages. For example, the course does not well target the learners' needs because of the absence of the needs analysis before class;English or biomedical teachers fall to combine English with medicine, thus unable to provide ideal courses. As textbooks are an important means to improve the quality of the course, one way to reform the course is to compile high-quality textbooks by interdisciplinary talents. Meanwhile, the compiling process should be guided by needs analysis as well as the teaching and editing experiences. In addition, the textbooks need to be con-tinuously improved in teaching practice.
