The animal experiments,clinical researches and epidemiological investigations indicated that genistein has the effect for prevention and treatment of osteoporosis,cardiovascular disease and cancer.Genistein can inhibit cellular and humoral immunity and can regulate cell apoptosis.The chemical structure,biological effects and the mechanism of genistein attracted much attention.The current research advance on genistein was summarized and the prospect on the theoretical significance,clinical importance was presented in this paper.

Hypothyroidism is one of the most common endocrine disorders in childbearing or pregnant women.Gestational hypothyroidism can increase the incidence rate of the variety of pregnancy complications and adverse pregnancy outcome.It also can make adverse effects on the fetus and neonate,such as death,placental abruption,fetal malformation,intrauterine growth retardation and preterm,low birth weight,neonatal respiratory distress syndrome,it can also cause abnormal thyroid function of neonate,severely can cause nerve,mental,physical and mental developmental abnormalities and even death.Therefore,it is recommended that childbearing women who are at high risk for pregnancy should strengthen to monitor pregnancy thyroid function and treat as soon as possible in order to reduce the adverse effects on offspring.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the current situation and trend of narcotic drug use in our hospital where the authors work in order to provide the reference for scientific management and rational use of these drugs. METHODS: The yearly amount of narcotic drugs administered in the whole hospital, the yearly amount in the separate departments, as well as drug expenditures and ratios between January 2002 and November 2005 were added up and analyzed statistically. RESULTS: The amount of bucinnazine use dominated in the first. The amount of morphine for oral use was increasing year by year. The amount of fentangl transdernal patch use was also bigger and increasing rapidly. However, the amount of pethidine and morphine for injection use was decreasing. CONCLUSION:Analgetics for oral and transdermal use will be the main categories of analgetics in the future.

Maternal heart disease has emerged as one of the major diseases threatening pregnant women's safety and long-term cardiovascular health. It is worth noting that there is a large gap in pregnancy prognosis with various cardiovascular diseases. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) has published a practice bulletin named "Pregnancy and Heart Disease" in April 2019, which addressed the prevalence, risk factors, and heart disease effects on pregnancy and the puerperium. It outlined the common types and tiered care recommendations for cardiovascular diseases during pregnancy and puerperium.

Metabolic related fatty liver disease(MAFLD) is a kind of fatty liver disease caused by metabolic dysfunction closely related to insulin resistance and genetic susceptibility, also known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Chronic hepatitis C (CHC) is a worldwide curable viral hepatitis caused by hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.If MAFLD is combined with CHC, CHC can lead to insulin resistance, increase the oxidative stress of hepatocytes, accelerate the steatosis of hepatocytes, and affect the therapeutic effect of MAFLD.

Long non-coding RNA was initially identified as "noises" of gene transcriptions. However, with the developing researches of ENCODE, it was found that the long non-coding RNAs can regulate the genomic expressions in the form of RNAs in epigenetic, transcription, and post transcriptional levels, which is involved in the regulation of diverse cellular processes and has significant influences on occurrence and precaution of human diseases. This paper introduces functions and features of the long non-coding RNAs, and sums up the internal relation between long non-coding RNAs, diabetes and diabetic complications on the basis of existing researches. These advances can provide the basis for the further understanding of molecular medicine on occurrence and evolution of diabetes.

Vertical root fracture (VRF) is different from odontoclasis caused by trauma or injury. VRF is defined as a complete or incomplete fracture of roots caused by long-term and persistent stimulus, such as excessive forces from mastication or occlusion, improper tooth anatomy, and tooth treatment accident. Early diagnosis of VRF is essential to prevent the absorption of alveolar bone, thereby improving prognosis. Radiographic examination is the most common and effective evaluation method for VRF. Cone beam computed tomography can provide three-dimensional information for fracture details, which are more precise than traditional periapical films. In this paper, we present the radiographic features, differential diagnosis, and new treatment techniques for VRF.

Objective To examine the association of characteristics of patients visiting fever clinic with different air quality index in Beijing.Methods Six days with highest ambient air quality index (AQI) (polluted weather group) and 6 days with lowest AQI (clear weather group) during February 1 st to March 31th 2014 were selected as study period.The clinical data of patients,who visited in fever clinic of Peking University Third Hospital during the selected 12 days,were retrospectively analyzed.Results There were 417 patients in clean weather group and 481 in polluted weather group.There were no significant differences in duration of fever [(2.30 ± 2.51) d vs.(2.18 ± 2.58) d,x2 =0.701,P =0.484] and highest body temperature [(38.60 ± 0.65) ℃ vs.(38.57 ± 0.66) ℃,x2 =0.545,P =0.586] between two groups.The symptoms of cough,sore throat in pollution group were higher than those in clear group (52.39％ vs.45.56％,x2 =4.166,P =0.041;50.52％ vs.42.21％,x2 =6.203,P =0.013,respectively).The proportion of cases diagnosed as influenza-like illness in polluted weather was higher than that in clear weather group (53.85％ vs.46.76％,x2 =4.484,P =0.034).Conclusion The results indicate that the symptoms cough and sore throat and influenza-like illness are increased in polluted weather in Beiiing.

Objective To systematically review the risks and effectiveness of combined caudate lobectomy in Klatskin tumor.Methods A systematic literature search was conducted on PubMed,Embase,Cochrane Library,Scopus,CNKI databases and Chinese Bio Medical Literature (CBM).A systematic review and meta-analysis of the current literatures were conducted based on the PRISMA guideline.Odds ratios were calculated using the Mantel-Haenszel method.The primary outcome variables included safety,effectiveness of combined caudate lobectomy and its impact on long-term survival.Results Nine out of 312 articles were included.Results showed caudate lobectomy did not increase the incidence of postoperative complications (OR ＝ 1.15；95 ％ CI 0.74-1.81；P ＞ 0.05),but improved R0 resection rate (OR ＝ 4.81；95 ％ CI 2.72 ～ 8.53；P ＜ 0.01) and long-term survival in these patients (OR ＝ 0.20；95％ CI 0.11 ～ 0.39；P ＜0.01).Conclusion Combined caudate lobe resection is a safe and effective treatment for Klatskin tumor.
