Microorganisms can affect the development of body immune system.Intestinal flora regulate immune function by promoting the intestinal immune system development,inducing T cell differentiation to avoid or reduce the incidence of immune-related diseases.Allergic diseases are related with the body's immune system hypoplasia and imperfect immune regulation mechanism.The immune system can be affected by intestinal flora,and the distribution of flora in the body between children with allergies and healthy children are significantly different,indicating that the occurrence of allergic diseases are associated with intestinal microflora.Studies have reported probiotic are helpful to the prevention and treatment of allergic disease,providing a new way for the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases.

Based on clinical features of refractory diseases and clinical practice experience for many years,the author expounded the therapeutic strategies from establishing individualized system of differentiation treatment,treatment strategies of refractory diseases,and the key for medication,and emphasized individual concerned therapy,separating primary and secondary treatment and grasping the physiological state to treat pathological changes.Thus complicated and changeable diseases can be treated clinically.

Control of body weight is a hot topic.It is considered as the cornerstone for the management of patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes based on the effect of improving blood glucose,lipid profile,blood pressure,and insulin sensitivity.The strategies for weight loss include diet restriction,exercise,medicine,and bariatric surgery.In the present article the relationship between caloric restriction and weight loss was reviewed,focusing on the hot topics as to what extent weight loss could be achieved,the maintenance of ideal body weight,the risk factor of weight regain,and weight loss in particulas populations like obese children,adolescents,and older adults.

Anemia of prematurity is very common in preterm infant.Phlebotomy losses and inadequate production of erythropoietin are the main reasons.Treatment of anemia of prematurity includes delayed umbilical cord clamping at delivery,decreasing phlebotomy losses,use of red cell growth factors such as erythropoietin properly,red blood cell transfusions,which are based on indications and guidelines.In this article we review recent studies in preventing and treating anemia in preterm infants.

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA)is a common disease among premature neonates and the management of which has always been a challenge to the neonatologists. Early treatment has been advocated as the first-line approach, and drug induced closure is yet the most effective, inexpensive, and convenient method. During the last two decades,indomethacin was often given as conservative treatment, and its closure rate in PDA was approximately 46% ～ 89%. However,indomethacin may increase the number of undesirable or harmful effects including renal damage, intraventricular hemorrhage, necrotizing enterocolitis, and enterobrosis,etc. Recently,ibuprofen is rapidly emerging as a new promising drug for treatment of PDA in preterm infants with closure rate of 73.0% ～95.5%. It is used as standard therapy to close PDA,and it has less influence on the hemodynamics of kidneys, brain and gastrointestinal tract. The surgery is needed in patients with drug treatment failure and cardio-pulmonary function damage.

Objective To investigate the changes of peripheral benzodiazepine receptors (PBRs)in rat spinal cord synaptosomes during ageing and to explore the correlation between PBRs in spinal cord synaptosomes and PBRs on platelet membranes.Methods A total of 24 Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 3-month group and 24-month group (n=6 males and 6 females for each).All animals were sacrificed by decapitation and the spinal cords were immediately removed.Synaptosomal fractions from spinal cords were isolated by gradient centrifugation.The platelet membranes were prepared from venous blood by the method of hypotonic haemolysis.The specific binding of the radioactive PBRs antagonist [3H]PK11195 to membranes was determined.Results No significant differences in [3H] PK11195 binding activity in spinal cords and platelet membranes were observed between male and female rats in the same group (all P＞0.05).[3H] PK11195 binding activity in spinal cords and platelet membranes were higher in 3-month group than in 24 month group [(213.94±10.65) fmol/mg pro.vs.(50.65± 2.74) fmol/mg pro.,(104.97± 2.24) fmol/mg pro.vs.(56.20±5.36) fmol/mg pro.,respectively,t=51.418,29.041,both P＜ 0.001].There was a positive correlation between [3H]PK11195 binding activity in platelet membranes and in spinal cord synaptosomes (r=0.985,P＜0.001).Conclusions The level of PBRs is gradually decreased in rat spinal cord synaptosomes with ageing.[3H] PK11195 binding activity of platelet membranes can reflect the changes of PBRs in spinal cords.

Breast fibroadenoma is the most common benign tumor of female mammary gland,which is tend to occur in young women under the age of 30.The main treatment is surgical removal.The option of the method and timing of the surgery is effected by ages,fertility requirements,tumor size,location,and so on.Considering the young women of beauty and nursing requirements in the future,combined with medical cosmetology technology progress,the way to do surgery is particularly important.There are various surgical methods whose effects and applicable objects are different in clinic.In this article,the type of operation on breast fibroadenoma and timing of surgery were reviewed.

The link between Hashimoto's thyroiditis(HT) and papillary thyroid cancer(PTC) has long been a topic of controversy.Some authors suggested that these two disorders are positively correlated,whereas others reported no relationship.Here we summarized the studies made in investigating the correlation between HT and PTC,and analyzed the nature of the correlation between HT and PTC based on biomolecular mechanisms.
