The acurate diagnosis of invasive fungal infection(IFI)is the key point for the treatment and proginosis for IFI patients.Pathological diagnosis is still considered as the gold standard for the IFI diagnosis although difficult.The regular procedures for IFI diagnosis including culture and direct examintion are often low yeilding,the discrimination for contamination and infection is hard.Imaging manifestations are nonspecific but have important suggestive values.The detection for molds antigen content is useful,but its sensitivity and specifity need to be improved.The proper diagnosis for IFI relys on the combination of clinical characteristic,imaging manifestion and serial observation.

Objective To evaluate the changes of reticulated platelets (RP)in diagnosis and treatment of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). Methods RPs were measured by flow cytometry and the percentage and absolute counts of RPs were calcula- ted in ITP group,non-ITP group and control group.Results Compared with control group,ITP group had a significantly high percentage and low absolute counts of RPs (P

Heart failure is a syndrom of heart disease with high morbidity and mortality .There are more and more evidence indicating immune activation developing important role in the occurrence and development of heart failure . Interleukin (IL)‐35 ,known as a negative regulatory factor of one of the members of IL‐12 family ,participates pathogenetic process of heart failure .The present article made a review for influence of IL‐35 on heart failure .

AlM: To investigate the effect of exogenous peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor-γcoactivator-1α ( PGC-1α) on vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) expression in human retinal vascular endothelial cells ( HRVEC) .METHODS:Recombinant PGC-1α protein was added to HRVEC, and no recombinant PGC-1α protein was added to HRVEC as control group. After 24h of incubation, two groups of cells were then placed into a normoxic ( 20%O2 ) or hypoxic ( 1% O2 ) environment for another 16h. The expression of VEGF mRNA and protein were detected by real - time PCR, ELlSA and immunofluorescence cytochemistry.RESULTS: VEGF mRNA and protein levels in the cells were significantly increased by recombinant PGC - 1αprotein both under normoxia and hypoxia conditions as compared with control groups (P<0. 01).CONCLUSlON: PGC-1α can upregulate the expression of VEGF in HRVEC under normoxia and hypoxia conditions.

Objective To explore the clinical value of B ultrasound-guided psychro-circulation percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy(PMCT) in the treatment of liver cancer.Methods One hundred and sixteen liver cancer patients with 154 lesions were selected to receive psychro-circulation PMCT in our department from July 2004 to December 2007.The pre-and postoperative alpha fetoprotein(AFP) levels were detected.The diameters and blood flow state of the tumors were measured and compared by use of B ultrasound and computerized tomographic scanning(CT).The postoperative 1,2 and 3 y survival rate of those patients was followed up and recorded.Results No mortality or severe complications occurred in this series.Preoperative serum AFP level of the patients was(421.6?36.5)?g/L and decreased obviously to(232.5?25.6)?g/L at 1 month after psychro-circulation PMCT(P

Nowadays, LAN can't meet the requirements of field communication, and WLAN is playing more and more important role for its strong transmission ability and high mobility. This paper introduces the application of WLAN to filed medicine.

Objective To know the levels of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins(PCDDs),polychlorinated dibenzo-p-furan (PCDFs)and polychlorinated biphenyl(PCBs)in milk and milk powder.Methods From Feb.2007 to Jun.2007,the milk and milk powder samples were collected and PCDDs,PCDFs and PCBs were extracted from the samples by Soxhlet extraction,cleaned up by FMS and quantified by HRGC-HRMS,using isotope dilution methodology.Results PCDDrFs and PCBs were detected in all samples.The mean levels of PCDD/Fs and dl-PCBs TEQ in the milk powder were 0.43 pg/g lipid(median:0.34 pg/g lipid),and in the packed milk were 3.83pg/g)lipid(median:2.04 pg/g lipid).The mean levels of PCDD/Fs and dl-PCBs TEQ in all samples were 2.13 pg/g lipid(median:0.815 pg/g lipid).The levels of PCDD/Fs and dioxin-like PCBs in the detected samples were far below the limitation of EU except of two milk samples,and the levels of PCDD/Fs and dioxin-like PCBs were higher in the packed milk than those in the milk powder.Conclusion Some of the milk and milk powder in the investigated city has been polluted by polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins(PCDDs),polychlorinated dibenzo-p-furan(PCDFs)and polychlorinated biphenyl(PCBs).

Objective To evaluate the surgical technique and procedures of transumbilieal breast augmentation with an inverse U-shape incision and insertion of saline-filled breast implants. Methods With specialized instruments, the subcutaneous tunnel was undermined to the inframammary crease after inverse U incision made along the umbilical border. The subpectoral space was dissected with a dissector after the advancement of obturator across the inframammary crease. The expander was inserted into the subpectoral pocket to be filled to obtain the high degree of symmetry of the breasts. Finally, the previous-ly prepared implants were inserted after the expander deflated and removed. Results All patients gained satisfactory results with no complications, such as hematoma, infection, implant deflation and Baker Ⅲ or Ⅳ capsular contracture. Conclusions Breast augmentation could be performed through umbilical inci-sion with the usage of saline-filled breast implant. This is an alternative of incisions in breast augmenta-tion.
