Objective To explore the risk factors for community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in the elderly,in order to provide the basis for clinical prevention and treatment.Methods 168 elderly patients with CAP (observation group) and 100 elderly patients without CAP (control group) were chosen from our hospital from Jan.2013 to Dec.2014.The clinical data were investigated,and the risk factors for CAP were analyzed.Results Single factor analysis showed that there were significant differences between the two groupsin serum protein level,pets-raising,smoking,dust exposure,bronchial disease,renal dysfunction and diabetes mellitus (all P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that serum protein level,pets-raising,smoking,bronchial disease and diabetes were the independent risk factors for CAP in the elderly (OR=2.793,2.578,3.017,3.168 and 2.643,all P＜0.05).Conclusions The community-acquired pneumonia is related with many risk factors in the elderly.The clinical corresponding prevention and treatment for the risk factors should be developed,which have an important significance in the early diagnosis,early treatment and prognostic improvement in community-acquired pneumonia.

Biliary atresia (BA) is the most common cause of persistent jaundice in infant,it can rapidly advance to biliary cirrhosis and death.Surgical treatment in time can decrease mortality,so it is essential to be differentiated from other diseases as early as possible.Main diagnosis methods of BA include clinical feature of patients,liver biopsy,and high-frequen cy ultrasonography,MR cholangiopancreatography (MRCP),hepatobiliary scintigraphy.High-frequency ultrasonography is superior to other methods with high diagnostic specificity and sensitivity.The progresses of ultrasonography in diagnosis of BA were reviewed in this article.

0.05).Conclusion There may be no significant difference in sensory block,motor block and prevalence of adverse effects between injection rates of 0.27 mL/s and 0.04 mL/s in spinal anesthesia with 20 mg isobaric ropivacaine.

Sulfogalactosylglycerolipid (SGG) is the main glycolipid in male mammalian germ cells, which is selectively and highly expressed in mammalian testes and helps form the lipid bilayer of cell membrane. In the process of spermatogenesis, SGG is involved in the meiosis of spermiocytes. Either deficiency or accumulation of SGG will lead to male infertility. SGG homeostasis in the testis is the premise of normal spermatogenesis. In the process of sperm-zona binding, SGG becomes a component of lipid raft and provides a platform for signal transduction. The SGG binding protein plays a role in sperm-egg recognition and membrane fusion. SGG has a great research value and application prospect in male reproduction.

Spermatogenesis is a complex developmental process in which a diploid progenitor germ cell transforms into highly specialized spermatozoa. During spermatogenesis, membrane remodeling takes place, and cell membrane permeability and liquidity undergo phase-specific changes, which are all associated with the alteration of membrane lipids. Lipids are important components of the germ cell membrane, whose volume and ratio fluctuate in different phases of spermatogenesis. Abnormal lipid metabolism can cause spermatogenic dysfunction and consequently male infertility. Germ cell membrane lipids are mainly composed of cholesterol, phospholipids and glycolipids, which play critical roles in cell adhesion and signal transduction during spermatogenesis. An insight into the correlation of membrane lipids with spermatogenesis helps us to better understand the mechanisms of spermatogenesis and provide new approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of male infertility.

Objective To investigate the effect of meridian massage on the growth and development of premature infants.Methods 60 preterm infants were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group with 30 cases in each group,the control group adopted modified domestic simple meridian massage method,and the observation group increase meridian massage based on the control group,2 times a day and 15 minutes one time.Body weight,length,intake of milk,sleep time,time to regain birth weight,and meconium drained time were eomparel between two groups.Results The observation group was significantly better than the control group in body weight,length,intake of milk,sleep time,time to regain birth weight,and meconium drained time.Conclusions Meridian massage based on the domestic simple touch method plays a significant role in promoting the growth and development of premature infants.

Objective To understand current situation of surgery grading management in 22 hospitals from Beijing Municipal Administration of Hospitals,and to discuss the problems and to make suggestions for better application and management.Methods Based on general survey,Surgery of Grading Conditions of All Municipal Hospitals was issued to 22 municipal hospitals to make related staff fill related data.Results Except for 3 specialty hospitals,19 hospitals have launched the surgery grading management,while they are in different steps of implementing hierarchical directory,surgeon permission and dynamic management.These hospitals have different reference standards of making hierarchical directory.84.2％ hospitals give surgeons authorities according to levels of operations evaluated by professional title,surgery grade and doctors' technical skills.There are 14 hospitals applying information management on surgery grading.Conclusion Uniform criteria of hierarchical directory,extension of surgeon permission system and implementation of surgery grading information management will contribute to regulation fulfillment.

A strain of Mucor named M2,which could produce protease,was isolated from a traditional fermented soybean product.Culture conditions of proteases produced by M2 were studied therefore.The results showed that nitrogen source and carbon source preferred for protease production were soybean protein isolate and glucose,while inorganic salts preferred were KH2PO4,CaCl2 and MgCl2.The suitable culture conditions for protease production were as follows:culture temperature was 28℃,inoculation volume was 2%,liquid level was 100 mL in 300 mL triangle bottle at pH 5,rotating speed was 150 r/min and culture time was 48 h.The obtained protease activity in culture was about 4.35 U/mL.The protease produced by Mucor was analyzed with SDS-PAGE.The protease had a molecular weight of 36.4 kD.
