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.

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.

Caloric restriction has been practiced over 500 years as a method for increasing both the length and quality of life.Experimental work confirming the success of this approac h in animals has accumulated in the last 100 years.Since 2000,emerging evidence in humans has shown that caloric restriction can delay the onset of age related diseases including reduced risk of obesity,diabetes,cardiovascular disease,cancer,and neurodegenerative disorders.The mechanisms and clinical applications have been extensively studied.

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.

Objective To evaluate the effect of chronic alcohol intake on the sedative potency of propofol through investigating the effect of chronic alcohol intake on the half-effective target effect-site concentration ( EC50 )of propofol required for loss of consciousness in patients. Methods Fifty male ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients, aged 25-60 yr, weighing 50-80 kg, scheduled for elective surgery, were divided into 2 groups according to the history of chronic alcoholic intake ( n = 25 each): control group (alcoholic intake per day ＜ 25 g) and chronic alcoholic group (alcoholic intake per day＞45 g, lasting for 2 yr or more). The EC50 and 95% confidence interval (CI)were determined by up-and-down sequential method. The initial target effect-site concentration was 2 μg/nl in chronic alcoholic group and 1.5μg/ml in control group, and the ratio between the two successive concentrations was 1.05. Loss of consciousness was defined as loss of response to verbal command and eyelash stimulation. Results The EC50 of propofol that produced loss of consciousness was 3.92 (95 % CI 3.56-4.63 ) μg/ml in chronic alcoholic group and 2.73 (95%CI 2.26-3.31)μg/ml in control group. The EC50 of propofol was significantly higher in chronic alcoholic group than in control group ( P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion Chronic alcohol intake can increase the EC50 of propofol required to induce loss of consciousness and reduce sedative potency in patients.

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.
