Objective To investigate the etiopathogenesis of exertional heat stroke(EHS)induced by military training of those patients admitted in military hospitals,and analyze the influence of EHS as a predisposing factor on prognosis.Methods Eighteen patients with EHS were admitted in 6 military hospitals from Sep.1995 to Aug.2007,their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.All cases were evaluated according to Minard's EHS predisposing factors including the individual's physiologic limitations,environmental conditions and the organizational predisposing factors.According to the final treatment outcome,18 cases of EHS were divided into fatal group(Group F)and survival group(Group S).The significance of deviation on the predisposing factors,and of the differences on the accumulated predisposing factors between the two groups,was analyzed.Results All the 18 cases of EHS occurred after military training,and complicated with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS).Hyposthenia,excessive physical efficiency training,incorrect disease classification to the patients,and inappropriate diagnosis and treatment were found to be the strong predictors to a grave prognosis.The effect of accumulated predisposing factors of EHS in group F was significantly higher than that in group S(10.0?1.41 vs 5.64?1.96,P

AIM: To determine the mycoplasma infection and the drug resistance in outpatients with NGU. METHODS: Mycoplasma culture, identification and drug sensitivity assay were carried out with samples of 472 NGU patients by using one complex mycoplasma kit. RESULTS: 153 in 472 cases showed mycoplasma positive. The total positive rate was 32.4%. The positive cases of Uu, Mh and mixed both infection were 112( 23.7%), 11( 2.3%), and 30( 6.4%), respectively. The female positive rate was found significantly higher than that of male (? 2= 4.157,P

Objective To observe the changes and relationships of glucose (Glu),insulin(Ins) ,insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in newborn infant with hypixic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and the protective role which Ins,IGF-1 worked on neuron.Methods HIE 50 cases,the quantity of IGF-1 in serum was detected by radioimmunoassay,the quantity of Ins in serum was detected by chemiluminescent immunoassay,the quantity of glucose in serum was detected by the instrument with type of Rokangquan TM accutive.The umbilical vein blood 2 mL were drawn from 20 cases of controls after birth.The indexes were detected by the same methods.Results 1.In acute period,the level of serum IGF-1 reduced obviously in newborn infants with HIE,and Glu increased obviously.There was a negative correlation between IGF-1 and Glu.The changes related with neonate complications.In rehabilited pe riod,the Glu get to normal,the IGF-1 was a little higher than that in acute period.but it still was lower than that of control group.There was negative correlation between IGF-1 and Glu.2.The level of Ins in serum of newborn infants with HIE had no obvious changes compairing with control group in acute period and rehabilited period.It had no relations with Glu,Ins.Conclusions It approves that IGF-1 and Glu in serum of newborn infants with HIE have obviously changed.This result will provide an academic base on treatment of HIE.

OBJECTIVEDeveloping a high-frequency ultrasonic skin imaging system to obtain the high resolution ultrasonic image of the skin. And further analyzing the ultrasonic images of skin to explore the imaging characteristics of skin structure and then explore the value of high-frequency imaging in the application of skin diagnosis.

METHODS50 MHz single element ultrasonic transducer, mechanic linear scanning method is used in the imaging system. The resolution and the ability of recognize the skin issue is verified by linear target scanning and clinical trials.

RESULTSBoth the axial and lateral resolution of the system reaches 50 microm. The subtle structure of normal skin tissue is clearly visible. Some diseases have obvious appearance in the image.

CONCLUSIONS50 MHz ultrasonic skin imaging system is of high resolution and is valuable to skin structure detect and disease diagnosis.
