Objective To explore the clinical application of two different fixation methods for nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) in newborns. Methods One hundred and forty newborns who had NCPAP treatment were selected and divided into experimental group and control group with 70 cases in each group by random digits table method.The newborns in experimental group received self- made caps to fix the prong systems,while the newborns in control group received U shape towel. The incidence of nose, head of facial skin injury, frequency of detachment for nasal prongs and duration mechanical ventilation were compared between two groups. Results The frequency of detachment for nasal prongs per 24 h was (0.65±0.18) times in experimental group and (1.64±0.22) times in control group, and there was significant difference (t=28.68, P<0.01). The incidence of nose, head of facial skin injury were 8.6%(6/70), 2.9%(2/70) in experimental group and 27.1%(19/70), 14.3%(10/70) in control group,and there were significant differences ( χ2 =8.23, 5.83, P<0.01 or 0.05). There was no significant difference in duration mechanical ventilation between two groups(P>0.05). Conclusions Use of the self- made caps for NCPAP in newborns is associated with significant reduction in the incidence of nose, head of facial skin injury,and the frequency of detachment for nasal prongs.The fixation should be prompted in clinic.

Objective To discuss the value of MRI in clinical diagnosis.Methods Images between CR excretory urography and MRU were compared,which came from the results of 36 cases who were examined by both CR and MRU.Results The spiral MRU images were better than those of the CR excretory urography,and at the same time,the relationship between the parenchyma of the renal,renal pelvis,ureter,bladder and the urinary organs and adjacent tissues were displayed clearly.Conclusion The scanning time of MRI is shorter.The machine can not only reconstruct powerfully but also work out better images,and the result is better than MRI which can't detect pathological changes in detail in its images.Therefore MRI can be replaced by MRU if the higher cost can be afforded.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2008,29(2):80-81]

Objective To explore the effects of the meteorologic factors on air pollutants and to establish a model of relationship between the meteorologic factors and concentration of air pollutants. Method The data of SO2,NO2 and PM10 concentration in the air and the related meteorologic factors (daily average,maximum and minimum atmospheric pressure and daily atmospheric pressure difference,daily average,maximum and minimum air temperature,monthly rainfall,daily average and minimum relative humidity and wind speed) from January 2002 to December 2007 were collected. The correlation between the air pollutant levels and related meteorologic factors was analyzed by the multiple regression models with SPSS 11.5 software and multiple regression equations were established. Results Minimum relative humidity was negatively correlated with the concentration of SO2 and NO2 in atmosphere . Daily minimum air temperature was negatively correlated with the concentration of NO2 in atmosphere. Daily average relative humidity and wind speed were negatively correlated with the concentration of PM10 in atmosphere. Daily atmospheric pressure difference was positively correlated with the concentration of PM10 in atmosphere. Multiple regression equations of the concentration of SO2,NO2 and PM10 in atmosphere and meteorologic factors have statistical significances. Conclusion The meteorologic factors have some effects on the air pollution levels. By using the correlation of meteorologic factors and the concentration of air pollutions,multiple regression equations can be established.

Objective To analyze time-space variation of air pollutants(SO2,NO2,PM10) and the correlation among them in inner region and outer region of Shenzhen from 2002 to 2007.Methods The daily concentration means of SO2,NO2 and PM10 during 2002 to 2007 from the nine environmental monitoring sites in Shenzhen were collected.The determination was conducted according to the Ambient Air Quality Criteria.Results From January to December,variation of air concentration of SO2,NO2 and PM10 met the "V" shape in inner region and outer region of Shenzhen in 2002-2007,which was descending from January to June and ascending from June to December.The level of the air pollutants in inner region and outer region was higher in fall and lower in summer.The air pollution level of the inner region was increasing from 2002 to 2004,then decreased in 2005,but increased again in 2006 and 2007.The tendency of the outer region was similar with the tendency of the inner region from 2002 to 2006,but the level of pollutants decreased in 2007.The air concentration of SO2 in outer region was higher than that in inner region in 2002-2007.The air concentration of NO2 and PM10 in outer region was higher than that in inner region in 2002 to 2006,but lower in 2007.The air concentration of SO2 in inner region and outer region in 2002-2007 was under the limit of grade 2 according to the GB 3095-1996,near to grade 1 in inner region.The air concentration of NO2 and PM10 was under the limit of grade 3 and grade 2 respectively.There was a close correlation among the levels of SO2,NO2,PM10 in Shenzhen.Conclusion The air quality in Shenzhen is better in China.The time-space variation of the air pollutants is obvious and a close correlation exists among the air pollutants.

AIDS has become a global disease,and a variety of drugs are used in the treatment of AIDS ,but the interindividual variabilities in efficacy and toxicity remain important limitations for the use of these drugs.Studies have shown genetic polymor-phism is the main reason for interindividual variabilities of drug reaction.In recent years,scholars focused on the pharmacog-enomics of anti-AIDS drugs and found that genetic polymor-phisms,in large part,determine the interindividual variabilities of the responese of these drugs.This paper reviews the research progress on pharmacogenomics of the four types of anti-AIDS drugs commonly used in China,including nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs),non-nucleoside reverse tran-scriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs),protease inhibitors (PIs)and integrase inhibitors (raltegravir).

Objective To analyse the prognostic value of serumal copeptin in patients with acute exacerbation of COPD compli-cated withrespiratory failure.Methods The serumal copeptin were detected in 60 hospitalized AECOPD patients before and after the treatment and in 30 healthy controls.Results Comparing with control groups,the serumal levels was significantly elevated in the patient with AECOPD before thetreatment and declinied two months later(P <0.05).The level of serum copeptin wereincreasing with the increase in the severity of the disease in acertain extent;The serumalcopeptin were positively correlated with lung function and CAT (r=0.058 and 0.821,P =0.00)and were negativelycorrelated with 6MWD(r=-0.652,P =0.00).Conclusion Serum copeptin could as-sess the incidence of acute exacerbations ofchronic obstructive pulmonary disease and its therapeutic effect;Serum copeptin can reflect the se-verity of AECOPD patients in a certain extent,and has certain clinical value to evaluate the quality of life in patients.
