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.

Objective To set up the filter mating method of plasmid conjugation experiment for Corynebacterium.Methods The first plasmid conjugation between different genus was performed by filter method.Three strains of highly erythromycin-resistance Enterococcus faecalis isolates[minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC)of erythromycin>256 mg/L,MIC of levofloxacin≤8 mg/L] which screened by agar dilution method were used as donators and 3 strains of Corynebacteria isolates(MIC of erythromycin≤32mg/L,MIC of levofloxacin=128 mg/L)were used as acceptors.In the second conjugation between the same genus but in different species,three Corynebacterium xerosis strains(MIC of erythromycin>256 mg/L,MIC of ceftazidime=16 mg/L)which were conjugants of the first conjugation were used as donators and 6 strains of Corynebacteria isolates(MIC of erythromycin≤32 mg/L,MIC of ceftazidime 128 mg/L)were used as acceptors.Results In the first conjugation between different genus,the plasimid conjugations were done for 9 times between 3 donators and 3 acceptors,4 of which gained the phenotype and genotype of resistance and the transfer rate was 44%.In the second conjugation experiment,the plasmid conjugations were done for 18 times between 3 donators and 6 acceptors,7 of which gained the resistant phenotype and the transfer rate was 39%.Erythromycin-resistance was transferred from the donators to the conjugants in varying degrees.The resistance was transferred from Enterococcus faecalis to Corynebacteria and then to other Corynebacteria which were of the salne genus but of different species.Conclusion Filter mating conjugation method could be used to study the mechanisms of resistance transmission of Corynebacterium.

Objective To study the clinical analysis in the neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE)for evealuation of the severity of brain injury and prognosis. Methods The manifestation,laboratory findings,outcomes of 117 HIE were analyzed. Results Manifestations of HIE in 117 infants included 3 groups(minor level,moderate level,severe level). There was no significant difference in the weight and gestation-age among 3 groups.Scores of Apgar lowing,which Was marked in the severe level(P＜0.01).
