Objective To investigate the risk factors in the outcome of neonatal pulmonary hemorrhage. Methods A total of 69 cases of neonatal pulmonary hemorrhage from January 2005 to December 2011 were studied. They were divided into 2 groups according to clinical outcome (death or alive). The data of the two groups were compared using single factor analysis. The risk factors were analyzed using multi-factor analysis. Results The death of neonates with pulmonary hemorrhage was correlated with aspiration pneumonia, coagulation abnormalities, DIC, heart failure and MPV. Multi-factor analysis showed that DIC (OR=6.90, 95%CI:1.514-31.419), heart failure (OR=9.62, 95%CI:1.710-54.150) and MPV<11 prior to pulmonary hemorrhage (OR=7.01, 95%CI:1.475-33.312) were the independent risk factors of neonatal pulmonary hemorrhage. Conclusions For the neonatal pulmonary hemorrhage with DIC, heart failure and low MPV, active intervention should be implemented.

Implant drug delivery system(IDDS) is helpful to the therapy of infection、tuberculosis and tumor of bone. With the development of tissue engineering, various materials has been used as the carriers for the IDDS. Research of the carrier materials used in implant drug delivery system is reviewed in this article.

Recent clinical trials suggested that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) targeted agents could benefit many patients with colorectal cancer. This article reviews the clinical efficacy of cetuximab, which is an antibody directed at the EGFR, in the treatment of metastatic colorectal carcinoma. Several articles about EGFR-targeted therapies in metastatic colorectal carcinoma and other solid tumors were reviewed. Cetuximab showed the increase in progression-free survival (3.98 months vs 2.56 months, P

As an essential element of tissue engineering,the shape,pore size,and porosity of the porous scaffolds have direct influence on the attachment,proliferation,and differentiation of seeding cell as well as their properties.So it is important to be able to prepare an ideal porous scaffold which is able to provide the cells with an excellent micrcenvirenment in order to support their growth and differentiation.In this article,we reviewed some kinds of the preparation technologies of the porous scaffolds for tissue engineering,including fiber bonding,emulsion freeze drying,solvent casting/particulate leaching,high-pressuro processing,gas foaming/particulate leaching,thermally induced phase separation,and electro-spinning,with focus on rapid prototyping.It is our belief that the combination of the basic technologies and the rapid prototyping technology which is able to control the properties of the scaffolds and could be applied for individualized scaffold construction would be the major focus of research in the future.

The military portable ECG for triage is a kind of minitype monitoring equipment for life information for the purpose that the ambulanceman carry through first aids in frontline. Life information of the wounded will be acquired exactly and quickly applying with this equipment, then quickening the triage and reducing the casualties. The system is based on C8051F310 single chip microcomputer, applying with high accuracy, low offset drift instrumentation amplifier AD620 and ultra low power LCM LMS019 to display real-time and accurate ECG signal sampled. The equipment is easy to use and inexpensive, suitable for mass requirement of our field army.

Carotid stenosis is an important modifiable risk factor in ischemic stroke.The com prehensive diagnosis of carotid stenosis,including the comprehensive understanding of stenosis degree,plaque stability,and head and neck vessels,which has important guiding significance for the prevention and treatment of ischemic stroke.This article reviews the diagnostic values of digital subtraction angiography,sonography,magnetic resonance angiography and CT angiorgaphy in carotid stenosis.

Stimuli-sensitive drug delivery system (SSDDS) is an novel drug delivery carrier.It is sensitive to either the internal physiopathologic changes (pH,temperature) of the body or external stimulus signal (ultrasound,magnetic signal) and controls the release of the drugs that it carries according to the variation of physicochemical property which stimulated by the signals.SSDDS can be prepared from hydrogels,liposomes and magnetic nanoparticles.In contrast to non-stimuli-responsive drug delivery system,SSDDS has remarkable advantages including feedback regulation,stronger controllability and targeting therapy.This paper will review the advancement in stimuli-responsive drug delivery system in recent years.

Objective To explore the correlations between the levels of glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)and N-Terminal pro-Brain Natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)in aged diabetes mellitus(DM)patients with heart failure(HF).Methods 127 patients diagnosed as DM complicated by HF and detected HbA1c and NT-proBNP when admitted into hospital,were divided into three groups according to the levels of HBA1C as follows:group A,4%≤HbA1c≤6.9%;group B,7%≤HbA1≤7.9%;group C,HbA1c≥8%.The levels of NT-proBNP were measured and compared.Results There was no statistical difference between group A and B(P＞0.05),where as the　levels of NT-proBNP in group C increased significantly than that in group A and B(P＜0.01);In group C,HbA1c was linear positively correlated to NT-proBNP(r=0.558,P＜0.01).Conclusion Aged DM patients complicated by HF,the level of HbA1c between 4%and 7.9%was acceptable.Meawhile,HhA1c should the independent risk prediction factor for aged DM patients complicated by HF,which could be used as the guide to the clinical therapy to improve the prognosis.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Simotang oral liquid combined with compound glutamine enteric capsules in the treatment of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) belonging to liver depression and spleen deficiency pattern, and to explore its possible mechanism. Methods Sixty patients were randomly divided into two groups. The treatment goup (30 cases) took Simotang oral liquid and compound glutamine enteric capsules, the control group took Cerekinon and Medilac-S. The treatment course was 4 weeks. Clinical symptoms, 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and substance P (SP) of both groups were evaluated respectively before and after treatment. Recurrence rate and adverse reactions were recorded. Results The total effective rate after treating 1, 2, 4 weeks between the two groups had no significant difference (P>0.05). Four weeks later, in the treatment group, total score of the symptoms, abdominal distension and defecation urgency were apparently lower than that of control group (P<0.05). The levels of 5-HT and SP of the two groups significantly decreased after treatment (P<0.05). The recurrence rate at 4 weeks after drug withdrawal of treatment group and control group was 10.7%(3/28) and 32.1%(9/28) respectively. The difference between the two groups wasn’t significant (P>0.05). Obvious side effects were not found in the two groups. Conclusion Simotang oral liquid combined with compound glutamine enteric capsules has evident therapeutic effect on IBS-D of liver depression and spleen deficiency pattern, especially good at releasing abdominal distension and defecation urgency. The mechanism may be related with decreasing the levels of 5-HT and SP.

Rapid prototyping technology, a kind of novel digital prototyping technology developed in mid-1980s based on a principle of discrete and accumulation, which fabricates a prototype by accurate accumulation of material according to the CAD models or CT data under the control of the computer without any other device.
