Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a novel in vitro nucleic acid amplification method conducted under isothermal conditions with the advantages of high specificity, sensitivity, rapidity and easy detection. Since it was established in 2000, it has been widely applied in various fields of analytical science including the diagnosis of a variety of pathogens, identification of embryo sex, detection of genetically modified organisms and cancer gene identification. Additionally, significant progress has been made in the optimization of the LAMP method, such as accelerated reactions, simplified sample processing, the realization of multiplex amplification, and the enhanced specificity of reaction and detection methods. LAMP technology also shows much potential to be adopted as part of point-of-care testing platforms by the micromation, automation and integration with other technologies such as Lab-on-a-Chip and digital nucleic acid amplification. This review summarizes the latest advances in the LAMP technique and its applications in developing point-of-care testing platforms.

To compare the efficacy and side effects of bupivaeaine(Bup)at two concentrations and fentanyl for caudal analgesia in children. Method:One hundred-fifty children undergoing hernia repair procedures under caudal anesthesia, were randomly assigned to five groups. Group A: 1% lidocaine (Lid), group B: 10% Lid+0.1% Bup, group C: 1% Lid+0.25% Baeup, group D: 1%Lid+0.15%Bup with 2?g?kg~(-1) fentanyl, group E: 1%Lid+0. 25%Bup with 2?g?kg~(-1) fentanyl for caudal analgesia, The degree of pain(LPS), nausea and vomiting (NV) were as sessed at 4, 8, 12 and 24 h after operation. Result: The numbers of LPS

Objective To investigate the value of lumbar puncture in the diagnosis of subarachnoid hemor-rhage of aneurysms .Methods The clinical data of 13 patients diagnosed negative by computer tomography(CT) scanning and then as subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) followed by lumbar puncture and as aneurysms by catheter digital subtraction angiography(DSA) were retrospectively analyzed.Results The positive rate was 100% by lum-bar puncture.Conclusion Lumbar puncture is of great significance in the diagnosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage of aneurysms, which should be applied reasonably.

A sophisticated effort is made to uplift the clinical nursing quality in hospitals, which aims at improving hospital nursing quality by means of enhancing the management functionality of the nursing department, enhancing nursing systems, implementing clinical paths, and quality service campaigns. These efforts are designed to effectively improve hospital nursing quality.

Objective To investigate effects of maintenance hemodialysis with citrate-bicarbonate dialysate on Th17 in peripheral blood of patients with chronic renal failure (CRF). Methods The CRF patients (n=57) with main-tenance hemodialysis for more than three months as well as free-active infection were selected and divided into two groups randomly, which were treated by citrate-bicarbonate dialysate and ordinary carbonate dialysate for mainte-nance dialysis in 12 month, respectively. The levels of interleulin-17 (IL-17) and percentages of Th17 subgroup in peripheral blood were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and flow cytometer, respectively. ResultsThe levels of IL-17 and percentages of Th17 subgroup in patients treated with citrate-bicarbonate dialysate for more than six months were significantly lower than those treated with ordinary carbonate dialysate. Moreover, incidences of adverse reactions in group of citrate bicarbonate dialysate were lower than those of common carbonate dialysate group. Conclusion The pro-inflammatory effects of maintenance hemodialysis with citrate-bicarbonate dialysate on the patients are lower than those of ordinary carbonate dialysate. Citrate-bicarbonate dialysate causes the reduction of inflammatory state, and is worthy of being popularized in clinic.

From the view of medical professionals, this paper explored the standards of residents′ competency cultivation in Zhuhai using Delphi method. The research outcome that consisted of 53 factors and 6 dimensions was obtained after two rounds of expert consultation. There are 6 first-level indexes including professionnalism and body-mind quality, clinical practice skill, the competency of lifelong learning and self-improvement, humanistic medicine practice skill, medical knowledge, and the competency of promoting the medical system to develop. As well, there are 18 second-level indexes and 29 third-level indexes. The standards stated that the clinical prac-tice skill would not be the main part of residents′competency cultivation. Qualified residents should reach the na-tional standard of the clinical practice skill but also the other five indexes.

Objective To describe the effect of cannualted rasps in reduc in g the fat embolic risks during preparation for femoral canal in experimental tot al hip arthroplasty. Methods Twelve mongrels were used to perform resection of b ilateral femoral heads, and randomly assigned to one of two groups with six each . In experiment group, impacting cannulated rasp was used in preparing femoral c anal; while, in control group, impacting traditional rasp was used. Both the ras ps were of same shape; however, there was a 4 mm diameter canal inside the cannu lated rasp connecting its two ends. A bone hole was made through the lateral fem oral cortex to the femoral canal at a point 12 cm distal to the greater trochant er in order to measure the intramedullary pressure of femoral canal when the fem oral canal was prepared with either rasp. The pathology of the postmortem pulmon ary tissue was analyzed. Using quantitative morphometry, the size of fat embolus in the lung tissues and the volume proportion of lung tissues occluded by fat w ere measured respectively. The statistical differences between the two groups we re analyzed using t test. Results In control group, the intramedullary pressure during preparation of femoral canal with traditional rasp increased with a peak of (34.5?10.2)kPa, pulmonary fat emboli were found in all mongrels, the volum e proportion of postmortem lung tissue occluded by fat was 0.64%, and pulmonary arterial pressure increased to (2.2?0.4)kPa[the normal value was (0.8?0.3 )kPa]; while in the experiment group, the intramedullary pressure peak increas ed to (22.4?7.7)kPa, significantly lower than that of the control group; the volume proportion of lung tissue occluded by fat was 0.21% which was also signif icantly lower than that of the control group, and pulmonary arterial pressure wa s (1.7?0.4)kPa. The differences between the two groups were significant in al l measured values. Conclusion The present study suggests that conventional prepa ration of canal can cause an increase of intramedullary pressure, which may lead to pulmonary fat embolism and cardiopulmonary impairment. However, the cannulat ed rasp can decrease the volume proportion of lung tissue occluded by fat and al leviate the influence of preparation of canal on cardiopulmonary function.

[Objective]To explore the effective treatment method of the articular fracture in distal radius.[Method]Severely comminuted AO type-C3 intra-articular fractures of the distal end of the radius were treated with combined internal and external fixation.The Gartland and Werley system and the Green and O'Brien system were used for comparison of the pre-operative and after operative evaluation.Total articular congruity had been assessed with both clinical rating systems.[Result]At a mean of ninteen months following-up,the mean arc of flexion-extension was 78% of that on the uninjured side and the mean grip strength was 82% of that on the uninjured side.The mean total articular incongruity(the gap plus the step-off)averaged 2 mm,and the radial length was restored to a mean of 11 mm.According to the Gartland and Werley demerit-point system,seventeen of the patients had a good or excellent result.According to the modified Green and O'Brien clinical rating system,eleven had a good or excellent result.Postoperative total articular incongruity had a moderately strong correlation with the outcome as assessed with both clinical rating systems.[Conclusion]Open reduction and combined internal and external fixation of AO type-C3 fractures can restore radiographic parameters to nearly normal values,maintain reduction throughout the period of fracture-healing,and provide satisfactory functional results.
