Despite efforts to develop treatment technology for cardiac arrest (CA), CA incidence and mortality rates are still high.[1,2] A recent study of CA patients in emergency departments revealed that the incidence of CA is increasing annually, and the in-hospital survival rate of CA patients is only approximately 28.7%.[3] Echocardiography has been widely used as an important monitoring tool in critical care and helps to identify the cause of shock, monitor hemodynamics, and guide fluid therapy utilization.[4] One study reported that approximately one-third of patients underwent formal echocardiography during hospitalization in the intensive care unit (ICU).[5]

Commercialization of the doctors sector and lawyers sector, and that of medical services, sharp rise of medical disputes and its impact on healthcare services have grown into major challenges for the healthcare system in the United States where litigation is the legal way out of medical disputes at large.Anglo-American law system depends heavily on precedence as the criteria and the majority of such disputes trials are held in state courts, there is also a complete system of laws and decrees on medical disputes on the federation level.In an effort to handle medical disputes that are rising sharply in a piling-up amount, American lawyers, social organizations of arbitration and medicine, and many state courts are seeking alternative dispute resolution as a better way out for medical dispute mediation and resolution.Given the gaps between China and USA in social systems, legal systems, ,economic development, cultural background, healthcare systems and heahhcare security systems, these experiences will prove their value of reference for medical disputes resolution in China.

Objective To investigate the perinatal outcomes of isolated single umbilical artery (ISUA) in full-term birth. Methods We performed a retrospective study of 82 252 pregnant women (aged<35 years;singleton; full-term live birth; no known chromosomal/structural anomalies) who delivered between January 1, 2011 and January 1, 2012 in 39 hospitals in 14 cities in China. There were 273 cases with ISUA as study group and 1 092 cases with a three-vessel cord selected in a 1∶4 ratio as control group. Perinatal outcomes including delivery modes (vaginal delivery or emergency cesarean section for fetal reasons), birth weight and height, placental weight, umbilical cord length, Apgar scores at 1 min, and rate of neonatal asphyxia were analyzed retrospectively. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test, two independent samples t-test or rank sum test. Results The incidence of ISUA was 0.3%(273/82 252). There was no difference between the two groups with regard to maternal age, parity, gravidity, smoking status, gestational age at birth, or rate of complications during pregnancy (gestational diabetes mellitus or pregnancy-induced hypertension) (all P>0.05). The birth weight in ISUA group and control group was (3 259±463) and (3 344±411) g (t=3.689), birth hight was (48.6±2.7) and (49.7±1.9) cm (t=8.368), placental weight was (508±72) and (543±153) g (t=3.114), umbilical cord length was (52.6±8.1) and (53.7±7.5) cm (t=1.983), and Apgar scores at 1 min were 9.0 (8.0-10.0) and 10.0 (9.0-10.0) (Z=11.831), respectively; the values in the ISUA group were lower than those in control group (all P < 0.05). No significant differences were observed in the rate of vaginal delivery and emergeny cesarean section for fetal reasons between the ISUA group and control group [52.8%(144/273) and 49.9%(545/1 092),χ2=0.704;19.4%(25/273) and 15.7% (86/1 092), χ2=1.162; both P>0.05]. Conclusions ISUA does not increase emergency cesarean delivery rates for the fetal reasons, but the fetal growth and development may fall behind those with a three-vessel umbilical cord. Monitoring during pregnancy and delivery should be intensified for fetuses with ISUA.

Objective Discussion of diagnosing insulinoma.Methods Retrospective analysis based on 45 cases of insulinoma patients that are collected by General Surgery Department in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June 2008 to October 2014.Results Forty-five cases of patients with insulinoma including 41 cases (91.11％) of functional insulinoma and 4 cases (8.89％) of non-functional insulinoma.Apply selective arteriography,preoperative ultrasound,intraoperative ultrasound and CT to diagnosis.Forty-five cases of patients with insulinoma,in which 18 cases with laparoscopic simple tumor resection,6 cases with laparoscopic splenectomy and tail of the pancreas resection;45 cases of insulinoma with laprotomy,in which 8 cases with pancreaticoduodenectomy,12 cases which the tumors were located in the neck,neck-line of the pancreas with local excision of the pancreas and pancreatic tail-jejunal Roux-en-Y anastomosis,one cases of laparotomy found no placeholder.Conclusions Surgery removal is currently the most successful way to eliminate insulinoma.And localization diagnosis can determine the outcome of the surgery.Co-operation of surgery removal and localization diagnosis can be the optimal approach to diagnose certain insulinoma.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a common fatal aortic disease.The rupture of AAA is the procession affected by multiple factors.Besides physiological,pathological and biochemical changes,morphological and biomechanical alteration can also influence this procession.The progress of rupture risk evaluation through morphological and biomechanical characteristics of AAA were reviewed in this article.

The proposal to promote the commercialization of new insect-resistant GM cotton,GM corn and other major products in 13th Five Year Plan on National Science and Technology Innovation ,has put forward a test to the government's ability to manage GM crops cultivation.Only a few species of GM crops,not including food crops,have been commercialized in China,we lack experience in GM crops cultivation management.Taking USA,where the farmers cultivate huge areas of GM crops,as a comparison object,the examination and approval procedures before cultivation,GM crop growers' obligation of the management,the methods to reduce mingling of GM crops and non-GM crops are compared.And concludes that the differences in legal status of GM crops,the intellectual property regime and labeling regulation,the ability of relative stakeholders to implement segregation measures and bear loss lead to different regulation on GM crops cultivation management in USA and China.The government combine the domestic current situation of the agricultural environment in our country,and focus on substantial risk in the safety management of GM crops in cultivation management is advised.The competent department of agriculture,researchers and seed traders should work together to help guide growers to avoid the economic disputes due to mingling and reduce the impact on the ecological environment.

Objective To analyze the value of PET/CT for diagnosis of recurrence and metastasis of dif-ferentiated thyroid carcinoma ( DTC) .Methods 65 patients with DTC in Thyroid Surgery Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from Dec .2005 to Jan.2015 were collected.Based on the values of serum thyroglobulin(Tg),the patients were divided into 2 groups.29 cases with positive Tg were the observation group and 36 cases with negative Tg were the control group .All patients underwent PET/CT examination one year after surgery.Patients with positive findings from image studies underwent surgical excision and postoperative pathological diagnosis .Clinical data of the 2 groups were then summarized and discussed .Results There was no significant difference on the general conditions between the 2 groups(P>0.05).Tg values were statistically dif-ferent 6 months and 1 year after surgery between the 2 groups(P<0.05).Tg values of both groups decreased 1 year after surgery, but without statistical difference (P>0.05).9 cases in the observation group and 1 case in the control group had positive findings on image study .All the cases with cervical lymph nodes presented as high uptake of 18 F-FDG.All patients who had positive findings on PET/CT underwent surgical removal of the abnormal lymph nodes which confirmed by pathology as lymph node metastasis .Conclusion PET/CT is very important for diagno-sis of recurrence and metastasis on Tg(Tg>2μg/L)positive,131I Dx-WBS imaging and US negative patients.
