Objective To discuss the value of amnionic fluid lamellar body count(LBC) as a predictor of fetal lung maturity. Methods Amnionic fluid was obtained during the cesarean section of 41 normal term pregnancies. LBC was performed on each specimen, and lecithin-sphingomyelin(L/S) ratio was detected simultaneously. Results (1)Amnionic fluid LBC was (86?43)?10 3 (72.5?10 3~99.4?10 3) in normal term pregnancy. (2) Positive correlation was shown between the amnionic fluid LBC and L/S ratio(r=0.66,P=0.001). Conclusion The LBC is a rapid and accurate method to determine the fetal lung maturity.

Objective :To study the effect of MMP-1,TIMP-1,VEGF and t-PA,PAI-1 in the inflammatory process of endometrium cell and the active components of SQ.Methods: ICC,ISH and WB was used to test the level of protein of MMP-1,TIMP-1,VEGF and t-PA,PAI-1 and mRNA of MMP-1,TIMP-1 and VEGF of endometrium cell in regular group,pattern group,GongXueNing group and SQ group.Result: In contrast with model group,the level of MMP-1protein and mRNA expression obviously decreased,but the level of TIMP-1 and VEGF increased in SQ group,there were signifi cant differences(P

Objective To evaluate the effect of cytokine-induced killer cells (CIKs) as an adoptive immunotherapy option for treatment of leukemia relapse after allo-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).Methods Two cases of infusion of donor CIKs in patients with leukemia relapse after allo-HSCT were retrospectively analyzed.Patient one relapsed 986 days (+986d) after HLA-matched unrelated donor allo-HSCT.Applications of chemotherapy only resulted in short term remission,but allo-CIKs were successfully expanded from the patient's peripheral blood mononuclear cells of donor origin.Totally five cycles of CIKs infusion were infused as an alternative of adoptive immunotherapy.Patient two had recurrent in the + 158d after HLA-matched sibling alloHSCT.At + 204d and + 294d,two cycles of CIKs which were expanded from donor peripheral blood mononuclear cells were infused.Results One cycle of CIKs was given to patient one after the application of chemotherapy to reduce the tumor burden,and the patient successively achieved complete remission.Again after additional four cycles of CIKs infusion,consistent remission was maintained during the following seven months.Patient two who had relapsed disease posttransplantation,achieved cytological complete remission after withdrawal of immunosuppressants and undergoing chemotherapy combined with G-CSF mobilized stem cell infusion.However,at + 187d,the patient suffered from side-effect of acute graft versus host disease and extramedullary infiltration.The symptoms were alleviated markedly after one cycle of CIKs infusion at + 204d.Moreover,the pain disappeared after an additional infusion at + 294d.And up to the present,the bone marrow aspiration showed complete remission while the extramedullary disease vanished.Conclusion The use of CIKs in the treatment of leukemia relapse after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation can be feasible and well tolerated.

Objective To study the impact of capitation payment on obstetric indicators for the maternity insurance of urban workers in Yinchuan city.Methods Collection of indicators on lying-in women hospitalized at the obstetrics departments of designated hospitals in Yinchuan,in the period of 2011 to 2012 when the capitation payment was put in place.Such indicators include the percentage of uterine-incision delivery,diagnostics and therapeutic expenses,drug expenses,and average days of stay,along with mortality of pregnant and lying-in women and that of newborns,which are used as indicators to measure quality of care.Results The capitation payment policy has witnessed drops in the percentage of uterine-incision delivery,cost per inpatient,drug expenses per inpatient and average days of stay among urban workers covered by the insurance.The drops amount to 10％ for cost per inpatient and 45％ for drug expenses per inpatient.The differences found in pregnant and lying-in women are not statistically significant.Conclusion Capitation payment is conducive to dropping the percentage of uterine-incision delivery and medical expenses,and saving medical insurance payment,for the sake of optimal use of healthcare resources.

OBJECTIVE: To study the optimum technique for extraction of mixture volatile oil from Olibanam and Sandalwood. METHODS: The orthogonal test was adopted to optimize the extraction process using the yield rate of volatile oil as indicator. RESULTS: The optimum extraction conditions were as follows: powder forming by 10mesh, 10- fold water added, soaking for 10h and extraction for 8h. CONCLUSIONS: This extraction method is simple, efficient and suitable for industria-lized production.

Objective To investigate the effects of simethicone on the quality of video capsule endoscopy (VCE) examination.Methods A prospective study was performed in 90 patients received VCE examination from February 2010 to October 2014.The randomized table was set according to different dosage of simethicone the patients received,by which patients were divided into three groups.Group 1 (35 cases) received 15 mL simethicone,group 2 (30 cases) received 30 mL simethicone and control group (25 cases) received no simethicone.The small intestinal visualization quality of VCE was scored by segments.Segment A was proximal small intestine (one hour after VCE passing pylorus).Segment B was distal small intestine (one hour before VCE passing ileocecal valve).Segment A and B were scored according to the air bubbles and degree of cleanliness.Gastric transit time,small bowel transit time and VCE completion rate were recorded.Student's t test,Mann Whitney rank sum test and chi square test were performed for statistical analysis.Results The average scores of segment A of group 1,group 2 and control group were 0.58,0.33 and 1.67,respectively,and the average socres of segment B were 0.25,0.00 and 1.17,respectively.The lesion detection rates of group 1,group 2 and control group were 68.6％ (24/35),80.0％ (24/30) and 52.0％ (13/25),respectively,and the differences was statistically significant (x2 =8.238,P=0.016).The detection rate of group 2 was significantly higher than those of group 1 and control group (x2 =7.354 and 9.349,P=0.034 and 0.005).The detection rates of small intestinal erosion of group 1,group 2 and control group were 22.9％ (8/35),70.0％ (21/30) and 32.0％ (8/25),respectively,and the differences was statistically significant (x2=8.714,P=0.013).The detection rate of group 2 was significantly higher than those of group 1 and control group (x2 =10.600 and 7.380,P=0.005 and 0.025).There was no statistically significant difference in the detection rates of ulcer,vascular malformation and protrusion among the three groups (all P＞0.05).The detection rates of lesions＜0.5 cm of group 1,group 2 and control group were 37.1％ (13/35),66.7％ (20/30) and 32.0％ (8/25),respectively,and the differences was statistically significant (x2 =8.242,P=0.016).The detection rate of group 2 was significantly higher than those of group 1 and control group (x2 =9.250 and 7.842,P =0.011 and 0.017).Conclusion Oral adminstration of 30 mL simethicone could obviously decrease air bubbles in small intestine,and increase lesion detection rate of VCE.
