As an emerging technology,the lung ultrasound has been increasingly used in neonatal practice.Lung ultrasound has many advantages,such as non-ionizing,widly available,there is no hazards to the operators and the patients.It can be performed at the bedside,easy-operating,protecting the operators and patients from radiation,being performed at the bedside,especially being suitable for dynamic observation in seriously ill infants.Most importantly,the lung ultrasound has a very high accuracy and reliability in diagnosing pulmonary disease.In order to improve the clinical application of the lung ultrasound to diagnose neonatal respiratory distress syndrome,the major ultrasound imaging characteristics of respiratory distress syndrome and the key operating elements of ultrasonic examination were described.

Brain injury is the main reason of long-term neurological disabilities and poor outcomes in premature infants.The diagnosis of brain injury in premature infants mainly depends on brain imaging findings and/or brain function monitoring results,because of its atypical clinical manifestations,non-specific symptoms and unobvious clinical symptoms.This paper aims to introduce the high-risk factors,clinical manifestations,brain ultrasound,magnetic resonance imaging and brain function monitoring findings,as well as its prevention,diagnosis and treatment strategies,all of which provide references to clinical application in neonatal field.

Based on analyzing the gross amount and components of the municipal garbage developed in past years, a strategic influence evaluation was carried out, focused on the effect of public policy on the control of the single used plastic lunch box which is usually called White Pollution. The evaluation showed that among the city garbage, the percentage of package wastes, especially those made of plastic material, demonstrated an obvious increasing trend in the past 10 years. All kinds of municipal plastic wastes mainly flow to the villages and suburbs where the plastic waste was processed in a small scale with a lower technique, and an underground waste trade came into being. From 2000, some developed cities started to develop a public policy on the recycling of the used plastic lunch box, connecting with the responsibilities of the producers, then this policy made a great increase in the recycling rate of the one-off plastic lunch box,but due to the antiquated admittance condition of environmental protection and the recycling network, the effect of the White Pollution control seemed efficient but limited.

Objective To analyze the influence of the dual chamber type laryngeal mask ventilation on hemodynamics in the treatment of elderly patients with general anesthesia operation.Methods 90 cases of operation under general anesthesia were randomly divided into 45 cases of tracheal intubation general anesthesia,laryngeal mask anesthesia group 45 cases,recording in two groups of patients before intubation immediately(T1),mean arterial pressure (MAP),heart rate,intubation immediately after the (T2) 3 min (T3),after intubation,tracheal extubation after immediate extubation after (T4) and 3 min (T5) mean arterial pressure (MAP),heart rate,epinephrine,norepinephrine level changes.The results of two groups of T,mean arterial pressure,heart rate (MAP,HR) there was no significant difference (all P ＞ 0.05).Two groups of T2,T3,T4,Ts mean arterial pressure,heart rate (MAP,HR),epinephrine,norepinephrine,laryngeal mask anesthesia group were significantly better than the intubation in general anesthesia group,with significant difference(all P ＜ 0.05).Results There was no significant difference in MAO,MR between the two groups at T1 (all P ＞ 0.05).The MAP,MR,epinephrine,norepinephrine of the laryngeal mask group were better than those of the intubation group at T2,T3,T4,T5 (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Double cavity type laryngeal mask has the advantages of simple operation,operation for elderly patients with cardiovascular stimulation,ventilation reliability.

Furthermore,the vac- cines are showing satisfying pedormances in clinical treatments.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the prospect of artificial synthetic material in repairing knee cruciate ligaments injury by reviewing related study progress and clinical experiments. METHODS: Publications addressing artificial synthetic material in repairing knee cruciate ligaments injury inthe VIP database between January 1993 and October 2009 were selected by computer. The research words including "knee cruciate ligaments, artificial ligaments, and reconstruction" . Inclusion criteria: ①Literatures relate to the application of artificial synthetic material in repairing knee cruciate ligaments injury. ②Papers addressing reconstructing anterior, posterior cruciate ligaments by using LARS artificial ligaments. Exclusion criteria: obsolete theoretical views and repetitive studies. The data were checked in the first trial, and the quotations were reviewed. RESULTS: In total, 105 literatures were initial searched by computer, 40 unrelated and 44 repetitive studies were excluded after screening. Therefore, 21 literatures were included in this paper. The cruciate ligament rupture is a severe knee joint injury, which can lead to knee joint instability, damage intra-articular structures, and seriously affect the joint function. LARS artificial ligament is preferred candidate for young patients, especially for athletes with anterior cruciate ligament. LARS artificial ligament is considered to be a safe transplant material because that few reports concerning its complication, particularly, no synovitis was reported following LARS artificial ligaments implantation. CONCLUSION: LARS artificial ligament provides a selection for anterior, posterior cruciate ligaments reconstruction. However, it is can not substitute cruciate ligament completely due to its limitation.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the mechanisms of chitosan, absorbable membrane, and hyaluric acid in preventing adhesion following tendon injury. METHODS: The Chinese Journal Full-text Database, as well as Pubmed database, were retrieved with key words of tendon adhesion, high polymer biological barrier, several Ding keeps out, absorbability antiseize continually membrane, and hyaluric acid. The quality, as well as inflammatory reaction surrounding tensions were served as evaluate indexes, accordingly, the English and Chinese papers regarding mechanisms of chitosan, absorbable membrane, and hyaluric acid in preventing tendon adhesion were included. Studies concerning other biomaterials were excluded. RESULTS: A total of 223 papers were obtained by initial search with computer. According to inclusion criteria, the related papers were analyzed. Adhesion formation associated with tendon surgery is a widespread problem. Tendon healing was classically considered to occur through extrinsic and intrinsic healing, in which the extrinsic healing was closely associated with the formation of adhesion or scar, so if we can accelerate proliferation of granulation tissue, inhibit the extrinsic healing of the tendon, the purpose of preventing tendon adhesion formation could be achieved. As a result, macromolecular compound and drug biology barrier were widely used. CONCLUSION: High polymer biological barrier can relieve tendon adhesion by its barrier function and pharmacologic action to regulate healing mechanisms.
