The animal experiments,clinical researches and epidemiological investigations indicated that genistein has the effect for prevention and treatment of osteoporosis,cardiovascular disease and cancer.Genistein can inhibit cellular and humoral immunity and can regulate cell apoptosis.The chemical structure,biological effects and the mechanism of genistein attracted much attention.The current research advance on genistein was summarized and the prospect on the theoretical significance,clinical importance was presented in this paper.

Hypothyroidism is one of the most common endocrine disorders in childbearing or pregnant women.Gestational hypothyroidism can increase the incidence rate of the variety of pregnancy complications and adverse pregnancy outcome.It also can make adverse effects on the fetus and neonate,such as death,placental abruption,fetal malformation,intrauterine growth retardation and preterm,low birth weight,neonatal respiratory distress syndrome,it can also cause abnormal thyroid function of neonate,severely can cause nerve,mental,physical and mental developmental abnormalities and even death.Therefore,it is recommended that childbearing women who are at high risk for pregnancy should strengthen to monitor pregnancy thyroid function and treat as soon as possible in order to reduce the adverse effects on offspring.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the current situation and trend of narcotic drug use in our hospital where the authors work in order to provide the reference for scientific management and rational use of these drugs. METHODS: The yearly amount of narcotic drugs administered in the whole hospital, the yearly amount in the separate departments, as well as drug expenditures and ratios between January 2002 and November 2005 were added up and analyzed statistically. RESULTS: The amount of bucinnazine use dominated in the first. The amount of morphine for oral use was increasing year by year. The amount of fentangl transdernal patch use was also bigger and increasing rapidly. However, the amount of pethidine and morphine for injection use was decreasing. CONCLUSION:Analgetics for oral and transdermal use will be the main categories of analgetics in the future.

Vertical root fracture (VRF) is different from odontoclasis caused by trauma or injury. VRF is defined as a complete or incomplete fracture of roots caused by long-term and persistent stimulus, such as excessive forces from mastication or occlusion, improper tooth anatomy, and tooth treatment accident. Early diagnosis of VRF is essential to prevent the absorption of alveolar bone, thereby improving prognosis. Radiographic examination is the most common and effective evaluation method for VRF. Cone beam computed tomography can provide three-dimensional information for fracture details, which are more precise than traditional periapical films. In this paper, we present the radiographic features, differential diagnosis, and new treatment techniques for VRF.

Long non-coding RNA was initially identified as "noises" of gene transcriptions. However, with the developing researches of ENCODE, it was found that the long non-coding RNAs can regulate the genomic expressions in the form of RNAs in epigenetic, transcription, and post transcriptional levels, which is involved in the regulation of diverse cellular processes and has significant influences on occurrence and precaution of human diseases. This paper introduces functions and features of the long non-coding RNAs, and sums up the internal relation between long non-coding RNAs, diabetes and diabetic complications on the basis of existing researches. These advances can provide the basis for the further understanding of molecular medicine on occurrence and evolution of diabetes.

Antibiotic resistance is a serious global public health problem, and China is one of the countries with the serious problem of irrational antibiotic use and bacterial drug resistance.The world is headed for a post-antibiotic era.With the rapid development of microecology, microbiota has been linked with antibiotic resistance.From microecological point of view, it is possible for researchers in different fields to innovate new techniques for bacterial drug resistance, and to explore the evolution of pathogenic bacteria as well as the mechanism of their resistance to antibacterial agents.This paper reviews the research progress in bacterial resistance and microecology, and prospects the future research needs that should be prioritized to tackle antibiotic resistance.

Bedside ultrasonography is used to provide information about the cardiovascular system and the function and anatomy of certain internal organs,and help to guide the invasive procedures.Compared to traditional ultrasonography,bedside ultrasonography is more focused on the optimization of the treatment.It has become a necessary tool,as a powerful adjunct to the physical examination,in the management of critically ill patients in advanced countries.The development trend is the clinical protocol based on bedside ultrasonog-raphy.The application of bedside ultrasonography in China is limited,especially in PICU.Standardized educa-tion and quality assurance system are needed to its popularization.

Objective To explore the correlation between miR-221/222 expression and the pathological features of thyroid carcinomas.Methods A total of thyroid tissue specimens was collected in thyroid surgery from Mar 2013 to Feb 2014.The expression levels of miR-221/222 were tested with quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).The expression levels of miR-221/222 were analyzed in different thyroid carcinoma tissues.Results The expression levels of miR-221/222 were significantly over-expressed in thyroid carcinoma tissues compared to non-thyroid carcinoma tissues (F =9.358,P =0.0014).No significant difference was found among different groups of non-thyroid carcinoma tissues (F =1.367,P =0.839).The expression levels of miR-221/222 were significantly different in thyroid carcinoma specimens with different pathological features (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The expression levels of miR-221/222 were significantly over-expressed in thyroid carcinoma tissues.Both expression levels of miR221/222 were associated with extrathyroidal invasion,regional lymph nodes,and tumor staging.The expression levels of miR-221/222 might guide diagnosis,treatment,and prognosis of thyroid carcinomas.

Objective To investigate the changes of atherosclerosis and vascular tissue after pecutaneous tranluminal angioplasty (PTA) ,and evaluate the role of serum lipid ,lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] and tumor necrosis factor‐α(TNF‐α) in this progress .Methods Thirty New Zealand white rabbits with high fate diets were established as observation group ,and 10 rabbits with normal feed were set as control group .Blood biochemistry test was used to detect the levels of serum TC ,TG ,HDL‐C ,LDL‐C ,Lp(a) and TNF‐αbefore the experiment ,after 2 weeks feeding and 1 month ,2 months ,3months after PTA .The correlation among atherosclerosis and Lp(a) ,TNF‐a were measured by multiple logistic regression analysis .Opposite reference value was calculated with receiving operating characteristics (ROC) analysis .Results The levels of TC ,TG and LDL‐C were significant higher than baseline with the feeding time(P<0 .05) .The level of HDL‐C after 2 weeks high cholesterol diet feeding was lower than baseline (P<0 .05) .The content of TNF‐αat 2nd month after PTA was remarkable higher than baseline(P<0 .01) .ROC analysis showed that RR of TNF‐a was 1 .84(P<0 .01) and an area under the curve of 0 .871 for TNF‐α (95% CI:0 .811 -0 .956) compared to 0 .523 for Lp(a) (95% CI:0 .409-0 .720)regarding atherosclerosis .Conclusion The turbulence of lipid could be an important factor of atherosclero‐sis ,and the high level of TNF‐αmay take part in the process of repairing of arteriosclerotic vessel .
