ObjectiveTo study the effects of intermittent subglottic secretion drainage(SSD)with an endotracheal tube on incidience of ventilator- associated pneumonia(VAP). MethodsWe searched computerized databases,including Cochrane library,Pubmed,EMbase,CBM,CNKI,Wanfang and some relevant databases from initializing to March 2012,extracting data about subglottic secretion drainage(SSD)with an endotracheal tube on incidence of VAP using RCT.The data had Meta- analysis by software RevMan5,and to those data which could not be conversed or merged,they underwent descriptive analysis. ResultsWeidentifled 5 randomized clinical trials that met the inclusion criteria with a total of 683 randomized patients.In Meta- analysis,the overall risk ratio for ventilator- associated pneumonia was decreased significantly by intermittent subglottic secretion drainage with an endotracheal tube.There was no significant difference on adverse events or on hospital or intensive care unit mortality.Databases,including ICU and hospital LOS,duration of endotracheal catheterization,bacteria concentration,which were difficult to be conversed and obtained full data,they underwent a descriptive research. ConclusionsCompared with the common endotracheal tubes,the use of endotracheal tubes with subglottic secretion drainage is effective for prevention of ventilatorassociated pneumonia.But it has no effect on adverse events or on hospital or intensive care unit mortality.So large sample RCTs with multiply- center should be carried out to assess the effect of the use of SSD.

Perfluorooctanesulfonate(PFOS),a new kind of persistent pollutants,is one of the key research in 21 century.This paper collected PFOS data in water and human body from several countries and areas,analyzed the relationship between PFOS concentration in human body and the influencing factors,such as regional distribution,gender and age and the change of influencing factors was discussed in detail.

The lack of organs has been an crucial limiting factor for Chinese organ transplantation,thus it is in urgent need to effectively increase the number of donor organs.This article holds that,besides through publicity and education to promote unpaid voluntary organ donation,some incentive mechanisms are also required to serve as useful complements.Therefore,organs' origin can be expanded to a certain extent,and the intense supply and demand in organ transplantation can also be eased.Unifying organ transplantation practice in China,this paper explains the necessity of organ donation incentive mechanisms from both theoretical and practical significances,reveals the main elements of the incentive mechanisms,and explores the realization means.

Inhibiting factors in the abstracted DNA might be evaluated. And subsequent procedures of STR testing were then directed. Conclusion Real-time quantitative PCR is a necessary technique for DNA analysis in Forensic science.

Objective To explore the effect of ultra-early hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) on bone calcium, biomechanical properties and bone collagen of femur in rats with complete spinal cord transaction. Methods A total of 75 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided in-to sham group (n=15), model group (n=20) and HBO group (n=40). HBO group was divided into three hours group (HBO1 group, n=20) and twelve hours group (HBO2 group, n=20). All groups underwent laminectomy at T10, while the model group, HBO1 group and HBO2 group underwent complete spinal cord transection at the same level. Three hours and twelve hours after surgery, HBO1 group and HBO2 group received HBO, respectively, for three courses with ten days in a course. After treatment, the femoral biomechanical properties, bone calcium and hydroxyproline (Hyp) were determined. The morphology of bone trabecula and the bone collagen was observed with HE stain-ing and Masson triad color staining, respectively. Results After treatment, compared with the sham group, the femoral biomechanical proper-ties, the content of bone calcium and Hyp decreased in the model group (P<0.05);compared with the model group and HBO2 group, they in-creased in HBO1 group (P<0.05). The number of bone trabecula and the bone collagen decreased, and derangement and sparseness were ob-served in the model group;however, the changes were substantially mild in HBO1 group. Conclusion Ultra-early HBO could increase the content of bone calcium and Hyp of femur, improve the morphology of the femur bone collagen, and improve the femoral biomechanical properties in rats with complete spinal cord transection.

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical effect of micro-plasma radio frequency treatment of facial post-burn hyperpigmentation.

METHODSFrom June 2012 to August 2013, a total of 25 cases with facial post-burn hyperpigmentation were treated with micro-plasma treatment for 3-5 times. The roller tip was used with setting of 60-90 watts and 3-4 passes were performed in different directions. Treatments were repeated at an interval of 8 weeks.

RESULTSAll patients tolerated the pain. After treatment, the facial hyperpigmentation improved. Complete recovery was achieved in 4 cases; significant improvement in 11 cases; moderate in 7 cases and no effect in 3 cases. No hyperpigmentation, depigmentation and scar formation was observed.

CONCLUSIONMicro-plasma radio frequency treatment is an ideal treatment for post-burn hyperpigmentation with lower side effect.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the diagnostic value of ultrasonography for trinitrotoluene (TNT) cataract.

METHODSThe morphology and internal echoes of 90 lenses of 45 TNT cataract patients and 120 lenses of 60 healthy adults were observed and compared using ultrasonography and slit lamp, and the hemodynamic parameters of the post-ophthalmic artery were also measured. The findings of the slit-lamp microscope were regarded as diagnostic criteria, and the sensitivity, specificity, and accordance rate of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of TNT cataract were calculated.

RESULTSThe sensitivity, specificity, and accordance rate of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of TNT cataract were 93.33%, 100.00%, and 97.14%, respectively; the positive and negative predictive values were 100% and 95.23%, respectively; the positive and negative likelihood ratios were 93.33 and 0.67, especuvey. With the progression TNT cataract, utrasonography showed that the lenses demonstrated morphological changes (spindle-shaped, spherical, and discoid morphologies), and the arc echoes of the posterior capsule were thickened and enhanced. The TNT cataract patients showed significantly lower peak systolic velocity and end-diastolic velocity of the ophthalmic artery (OA) and central retinal artery (P<0.01) and a significantly higher resistance index (P<0.05) than the healthy adults.

CONCLUSIONThe sensitivity of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of TNT cataract is similar to that of slit lamp. Ultrasonography can demonstrate objectively the shape, range, and degree of lens opacity in an efficient manner, which is conducive to the diagnosis and staging of TNT cataract by slit lamp, and can also provide hemodynamic information of the OA, thus providing new ideas for clinical physicians in evaluating the disease and clinical efficacy as well as exploring therapies.

AIM　To discuss the intraspecific relationship in Magnolia officinalis and the genuineness of Cortex Magnoliae officinalis, and to find some DNA characters of certified “Houpo”. METHODS　Thirty-three samples from eleven locations, which can represent most of the distribution of M.officinalis, were selected. The total DNA was extracted. Severty-four random primers were tried to get good amplification. RESULTS One hundred and sixteen bands amplified from seventeen primers, were clustered by NTSYS-pc software. Three branches were obtained. Some distinctive primers and bands, which represent certified species or fine breed, were obtained also. CONCLUSION　1) M.officinalis should be divided into three geographic clans instead of two subspecies or varieties, they are, a) typical officinalis, b) typical biloba and c) Middle type. This conclusion agrees with the leaf form and other characters. 2) The genetic difference between “Chuanpo” and “Wenpo” is evident and the difference is in correspondence with the quantities of their chemical constituents. So, the genetic difference is the main reason of the genuineness of Cortex Magnoliae officinalis. 3) These results may be used to establish DNA database for identification of Cortex Magnoliae officinalis.
