As survival of premature infants has increased,nutritional support has become a more prominent component of patient care.Aggressive nutritional strategies can reduce the incidence of extrauterine growth retardation (EUGR),speed up the physical growth and promote the development of intelligence.But excessive weight gain may also increase the risk of obesity and cardiovascular diseases in the future.This review mainly introduces and interprets the enteral nutrient supply for preterm infants:commentary from the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN),2010,to provide an evidence-based medicine nutritional guideline for preterm infants.

Objective To investigate the variational regularity of cardiac function in the early term infants.Methods Dynamic change of cardiac function was monitored by color Doppler echocardiography from the 1st day to 7th day after birth in the term infants,the indexes including blood-pumping function and flow rate of all valve orifices.Results Left ventricular ejection fraction appeared to be no difference during the first 3 days after birth.it gradually increased on the 5th and 1st days,while it was obviously higher on the 6th and 7th days than that of the first 3 days(P0.05).Conclusions Blood-pumping function of left ventricle gradually increases with days in the 1st week after birth.it attains to the maximum on the 6th and 7th days.The AV and PV gradually increase in the 1st week,too.Diastolic function of right ventricle is mature step by step.

[Objective]To investigate the metaphase result of extensive fusion in treatment of spondylolisthesis combined with intervertebral disc degeneration of adjacent joints.[Methods]Seventy-nine cases of lumbar spondylolisthesis combined with intervertebral disc degeneration of adjacent joints were treated with extensive fusion and internal fixation from September 2002 to September 2007.JOA and VAS scores were assessed and compared pre-and post-operatively.X-ray and CT were performed to observe the stabilization of fusion joints,and satisfaction rate from patients was investigated.[Results]All patients were followed up for 2 to 6.5 years(mean,4.6 years).Post-operative JOA scores increased(P

Liver resection is the most efficiency measure to treat the liver cancer at present. About 80% patients with liver cancer encounter inordinately hepatocirrhosis. The regeneration of liver tissue in the patients with hepatocirrhosis is poor, liver functional reserve reduces, those patients with liver cancer combined with hepotocirrhosis will face greater risks when they receive hepatoectomy. Liver failure is the leading cause of death after hepatic resection. So we must attach importance to the assessment of liver functional reserve before operation. Here this article mostly summarizes the comprehensive assessment of hepatic functional reserve before operation in liver cancer patients.

BACKGROUND: Non-adherent mesenchymal stem cells (NA-MSCs) can form colony forming unit of fibroblasts and induce the differentiation into adipocytes, osteoblasts, and chondrocytes. OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of epithelial growth factor (EGF) on colony formation of fibroblasts and differentiation into neuron-like cells from NA-MSCs.METHODS: Bilateral femur and tibia as well as total MSCs were separated, and repeated-transfer was employed to purify NA-MSCs. The fifth-passage total MSCs and NA-BMCs were induced in a medium containing EGF and basic fibroblast growth factor (b-FGF) for 2 weeks. Colony unit formation of fibroblasts, effect of EGF on colony-forming unit of fibroblasts, and relative protein expression detected by toluidine blue and immunocytochemical staining were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Both total MSCs and NA-BMC could generate colony-forming unit of fibroblasts. After treatment of EGF, colony-forming unit of fibroblasts from NA-BMC was increased significantly. Immunocytochemical staining demonstrated that two weeks later both neuro-specific NeuN and NF-200 were observed in total MSCs and NA-BMC; while, toluidine blue staining indicated that neuron-specific Nissl body was observed in some cells. EGF can effectively promote colony-forming unit of fibroblast from NA-BMC, and repeated-transfer NA-BMC can induce differentiation into neuron-like cells.

BACKGROUND: Non-adherent mesenchymal stem cells (NA-MSCs) can form colony forming unit of fibroblasts and induce the differentiation into adipocytes, osteoblasts, and chondrocytes.OBJECTIVE: To determine whether non-adherent mesenchymal stem cells (NA-MSCs) in adult mouse bone marrow could differentiate into neuron-like cells in cerebral ischemic region.METHODS: Bilateral femur and tibia of β-Gal transgenic mice was separated, and repeated-transfer was used to collect the fifth-passage purified NA-MSCs which were adjusted at concentration of 1×10~(12)/L Middle cerebral artery occlusion was established in the two groups. After 7 days, 3 μL fifth-passaged NA-MSCs suspension was injected into cerebral ischemic region in the transplantation group, while an equal amount of saline was injected into model group. Survival, distribution, and differentiation of donor cells in cerebral ischemic region were observed at 8 weeks after transplantation.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: LacZ staining showed that donor cells could express β-Gal protein after 8 weeks and survived in the ischemic region. Simple and double immunohistochemical staining indicated that β-Gal-positive donor cells were detected in necrotic region and at necrotic edge of ischemic model. Additionally, partial cells could express neuro-specific NeuN protein and glial cell-specific GFAP. NA-MSCs are able to survive and migrate in cerebral ischemic region; moreover, partial NA-MSCs can differentiate into mature neuron-like cells or glial cells which participate in repairing brain injury.

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) model was made in SD rats by coronary ligation, the effects of naloxone (Nal) on the baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) were evaluated by administrated Nal intravenously (iv) and in-tracisternally (ic) before and after 1 h of AMI.Results showed that both pre and post AMI can Nal potentiate the BRS whether iv or ic. These results indicate that Nal may reverse the blunted BRS after AMI.

The selection of the prosthetic material determine the success or failure of hip arthroplasty. Currently, the metals, ceramics, polymer composites and carbon materials are the main prosthetic materials of artificial hip joint. They have some progresses in biocompatibility, elastic modulus,mechanical properties, useful life, but they still can't reach the ideal standard of design. In this essay, we mainly review the characteristics and applications of the current artificial hip joint materials through its classification in order to provide a reference for choosing appropriate hip joint materials in clinic and increasing characteristic of materials. We consider the polymer composites has more advantages such as biocompatibility, mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and price, even if it has shortages in abrasion resistance. As the researches of polymer composites are main focus on abrasion resistance, articular surface and strength,and its performances are increased fast, it has a wide prospect in future.

Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of tension-free vaginal tape(TVT) procedure in the treatment with elder female stress incontinence(SUI). Methods Six patients with proven SUI were undergone the TVT with SPRAC. Results Six patients were operated under low spinal anesthesia. Mean operation time was 31.6 minutes and the mean blood loss was 36.2 ml. Five patients were able to micturate spontaneously within 24 hours after operation. One patient with fatty and vaginal colpoptosis was in-dwelling catheter for one week. Patients were followed-up for 10-28 months. Five patients were completely cured and one patient was failed after operation three months. Two patients were de novo urgency. One patient complained of persistent suprapubic discomfort. Conclusions The tension-free vaginal tape operation is a safe and effective surgical procedure for the treatment of urinary stress incontinence with fatty vaginal colpoptosis in elderly females.
