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.

Objective To study the effects of prolonged oxygen exposure at different concentrations on expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors (VEGF receptor-1 ,VEGFR1 and VEGF receptor-2, VEGFR2)mRNA in lungs of neonatal rat. Methods Thirty-two SD rat pups were randomly divided into control and experimental group. Rats in the experimental group were further divided into three subgroups: 30% O2, 50% O2 and 75% O2 group. Each group had 8 rats. The rats were ,sacrificed at postnatal day 21 and their right lower lobes were collected. Expressions of VEGF, VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 mRNA were detected by RT-PCR. Results There was no effect on VEGF, VEGFR1 or VEGFR2 mRNA expression in 30% O2 group. The expressions of VEGF mRNA in the 75% O2 group was 0. 48 times of the control (P<0. 05). The expressions of VEGFR1 mRNA(P<0.01) and VEGFR2 mRNA (P<0.01) in 50% O2 and 75% O2 group were lower than those of control. Condusions Prolonged exposure to moderate or high oxygen concentration may reduce the expression of VEGF and its receptors' mRNA in the lung tissues of neonatal rats.

Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) is the most common cause of respiratory distress.TTN is a self-limiting disease which has a good prognosis but sometimes severe cases may cause pulmonary edema,respiratory distress,pulmonary air leak or persistent pulmonary hypertension.Researchers have many studies about pathogenesis,clinical features,treatment of TTN at home and abroad,and they have new progress.This article will summarize recent research progress on TTN.

Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is a rare but highly lethal form of thyroid cancer.The original ATC guidelines were published by American Thyroid Association in 2012.The guidelines recommend that once the diagnosis of ATC has been verified,rapid evaluation and establishment of treatment goals are imperative,and a multidisciplinary management is required.Radical surgical resection and high doses of external beam radiotherapy are important factors associated with prolonged survival.

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.

The mechanism of antiarrhythmic effects of palmatine( Pal), an benzoquinolizine compound were studied in experimental animals.In the isolated guinea pig papillary muscles, Pal 50 ?mol/L markedly prolonged the functional refractory period(FRP)and decreased the automaticity induced by adrenaline, but exerted no effect on excitabj- iity and contractility of the muscles.Pal(10 ?mol/L ) prolonged both APD20 and APD90 of the action potential of guinoa pig papillary muscles. The Vmax was decreased at 100 ?mol/L Pal, but the action potential amplitude( APA ) and resting potential ( RP ) were unaltered.The antiarrhythmic action of Pal may be due to its ability to decrease automaticity and to proloagate FRP and APD of the myocardium.

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.
