Objective To analyze the risk factors and prevention of non-diabetic mother neonatal hypoglycemia,in order to provide evidences for clinical diagnosis and avoid hypoglycemic brain injuries.Methods This was retrospective study using the method of case control.One hundred and eleven cases of non-diabetic mother neonatal hypoglycemia were enrolled in patients group,and 111 controls of normal blood glucose neonate at the same period were enrolled in control group.The risk factors of neonatal hypoglycemia and the results of neural development after hypoglycemia were analyzed.Results The risk factors of neonatal hypoglycemia were low-birth-weight infant(X2=4.066,P=0.044),small for gestation age infant (X2=21.125,P=0.000),congenital heart disease(X2=5.869,P=0.015),day-age≤3 days(X2=6.876,P=0.032),mother with pregnancy-induced hypertension(X2=6.618,P=0.010)or age<25 years old (X2=6.311,P=0.044).Full-term infants might be easier to show up hypogtycemic brain injuries than pre-term infants;the occurrence of hypoglycemic brain injuries correlated with the level of blood glucose and the lasting time of hypoglycemia.Conclusion Monitor blood glucose closely to the infant has risk factors of hypoglycemia,and discover and cure it on time,in order to avoid hypoglycemic brain injuries.

Lung cancer is the most common cause of the death from cancers for both male and female in the world. Surgery remains the most effective method for controlling the primary tumour in most cases, but only 20% primary lesions can be resected. 80% patients should be treated by non-surgical methods. In recent years, radiotherapy has a fast development in the equipment and especially in the theory of radiobiology, but the curability of lung cancer still poor. In this paper we discussed the radiotherapy of lung cancer and how to choose the energe of X-ray, design the fields; the proceeding of irradiation; and it is necessary to find out a new regulation for stages that is available to indicate non-surgical treatment.

Objective To analyze the hospitalization rates of diabetic patients in different departments in different years and compare the differences in hospitalization costs, length of stay, and mortality between diabetic and non-diabetic patients. Methods The clinical data of hospitalized patients from 1995 to 2009 in different departments of Peking Union Medical College Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into three groups by calendar period (every five years) and into four groups by ages. Results A total of 500 523 patients were enrolled in this study. From 1995 to 2009, the hospitalization rates of diabetic patients increased from 2.85% to 7.65% , especially among patients who were treated in the departments of cardiology, ophthalmology,and vascular surgery. In 2009, the hospitalization rates of diabetic patients in the three departments were 29.36% , 24. 51% , and 21.25 % , respectively. The length of hospital stay was significantly longer among diabetic patients than among non-diabetic patients (P ＜ 0. 001). The total hospital costs were also significantly higher among diabetic patients than among non-diabetic patients in all the period and age groups (P ＜ 0.01 or P ＜0.001)except in 2000-2004 group and 2005 - 2009 group in 0 - 18 years group (P ＞0. 05). The hospital cost per day in diabetic patients was significantly lower than that in non-diabetic patients in all the period and age groups (P ＜ 0. 05, P ＜ 0. 01 or P ＜ 0. 001)except in 1995-1999 group in over 65 years group (P ＞ 0.05). The mortality rate of diabetic patients in the 1995-2004 in 0-18 years group was zero, and the mortality rates were not significantly different between diabetic patients and non-diabetic patients in 2005 -2009 group in 0-18 years group (P ＞0.05), and were significantly higher in diabetic patients than in non-diabetic patients in all other period and age groups (P ＜0.01 or P ＜ 0. 001). Conclusions Diabetic inpatients tend to have a longer hospital stay, higher hospitalization rate, higher hospital costs, and higher mortality rates. A hospital-wide diabetes management mode should be developed to optimize its treatment.

The cancer stem cell theory suggests that cancer develops from a subset of tumor cells that possess characteristics of stem cells. Breast cancer stem cells comprise a sub-population, which possesses the capacity of self-renewal and the potential for differentiation and high tumorigenicity. Evidence from bothin vitro andin vivo studies demonstrates breast cancer stem cells are responsible for tumor relapse, invasion and metastasis, chemo- and radio-resistance and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Herein, this review highlighted the recent advances in breast cancer stem cells.

Nanotechnology has been extensively applied in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, and is currently a major focus of research worldwide.Among the various nanomaterials, gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are of particular interest to many researchers due to their superior properties of low cytotoxicity, good biocompatibility, and preferential accumulation in tumors (the enhanced permeability and retention effect), which in turn gives GNPs a potential application in cancer diagnostics, imaging, photothermal therapy, and radiotherapy.Many published studies have shown that GNPs can be used as a new ideal radiosensitizer, and therefore understanding the radiosensitizing effects of GNPs both in vitro and in vivo will be of great significance in the clinical translation of nanomedicine.

AIM: To investigate the clinical effect of small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) for super high myopia.METHODS: Totally 64 cases (128 eyes) patients with super high myopia, were randomly divided into observation group and control group, 32 cases (64 eyes) in each group.The two groups were separately treated with SMILE or femtosecond laser LASIK (FS-LASIK).We calculated the effectiveness index and safety index by contrastive observation of clinical effects in all patients included uncorrected visual acuity, best corrected visual acuity and postoperative spherical equivalent at preoperative and postoperative 1d, 1wk, 1, 3 and 6mo.RESULTS: The safety index: the observation group and the control group at 6mo after operation were respectively 1.10±0.10 and 1.08±0.12, the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05).The validity index: the observation group and the control group at 6mo after operation were respectively 1.08±0.12 and 1.06±0.14 and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05).Postoperative spherical equivalent at 6mo in the observation group was 0.09±0.36D, that in the control group was 0.36±0.46D.After 6mo, the count of spherical equivalent refraction within ±0.50D were 58 eyes (90.1%) in observation group and 49 eyes (76.6%) in the control group, within±1.0D were 64 eyes (100%) and 60 eyes(93.8%).CONCLUSION: SMILE is safe and effective in the treatment for super high myopia.The postoperative visual acuity and diopter can be stabilized earlier by comparing with FS-LASIK.

Objective To study the effect of the magnetic field-treated water on metabolism of monoaminergic nerve transmitters in mice. Methods Twenty healthy aged Kunming mice were divided into a control group and an experimental group randomly. The mice in the control group were given tap-water and those in the experimental group magnetic field-treated water for 30 days. The content of monoaminergic nerve transmitters in brain of mice in the two groups were determined. Results A significant difference was found in the content of monoaminergic nerve transmitters between the control and the experimental groups. The contents of NE, DA, 5-HT and 5-HIAA increased significantly(P
