With the nationwide popularization of neonatal heel blood screening, and the change of screening standards and the improvement of premature infant survival rate, the incidence of congenital hypothyroidism in newborns has been increasing year by year.Some of these children need to take medication for all lifetime to maintain normal thyroid function, this is called persistent congenital hypothyroidism, while others don′t, is called transient congenital hypothyroidism.Causes of transient hypothyroidism include iodine deficiency, maternal thyrotrophin receptor blocker antibodies, maternal antithyroid medication, maternal or neonatal iodine exposure, premature delivery, and neonatal hepatic hemangioma.In this review, the author describes the etiology and management of children with transient hypothyroidism, meanwhile summarize several predictors of transient hypothyroidism.

Objective To reduce the execution time of neural network training. Methods Parallel particle swarm optimization algorithm based on master-slave model is proposed to train radial basis function neural networks, which is implemented on a cluster using MPI libraries for inter-process communication. Results High speed-up factor is achieved and execution time is reduced greatly. On the other hand, the resulting neural network has good classification accuracy not only on training sets but also on test sets. Conclusion Since the fitness evaluation is intensive, parallel particle swarm optimization shows great advantages to speed up neural network training.

Objective:To investigate the role of early enteral nutrition in preventing functional delayed gastric emptying(FDGE)after radical distal subtotal gastrectomy.Methods:A retrospective review was performed in clinical data of patients with gastric cancer undergoing radical distal subtotal gastrectomy in our hospital from March 2004 to March 2008.There were 71 patients receiving early enteral nutrition (group EEN,n=71) after operation and 107 patients receiving parenteral nutrition (group PN,n=107) at the same time.The outcomes of FDGE between of two groups were compared.Results:The incidence of FDGE in group EEN was 1.4%(1/71).And the incidence of FDGE in group PN was 10.3%(11/107).There was significant difference between the group EEN and the group PN (P

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of different operative methods for treating rebleeding in patients with portal hypertension(PHT). MethodsThe clinical data of 66 patients with postoperative ebleeding out of 373 PHT cases during the last 30 years was retrospectively analyzed. Their first operations were splenectomy, portoazygous devascularization, various non-selective shunt and combined operation(devascularization combined with shunt), of which, the rebleeding rate were 26.67 %, 17.86 %, 14.58 % and 4.35 %, respectively. Among 55 cases receiving re-operation, there were 42 with distal esophago-fundusectomy, 11 mesocaval shunt(MCS)and 2 re-devascularization. The other 11 cases received nonoperative therapy. ResultsThe mortality, mean follow-up time, rebleeding rate and encephalopathy rate were 9.52% (4/42), 11 years,9.52% (4/42)and 14.29% (6/42)in distal esophago-fundusectomy group;0,7.5 years,0 and 9.09% (1/11)in MCS group. All 2 cases in re-devascularization group died within one postoperative month. All 11 cases in non-operative group were with portal hypertension gastropathy(PHG). ConelusionCombined operation may effectively reduce postoperative rebleeding rate in PHT cases and MCS is a relatively ideal method for treating rebleeding.

Under the condition of microgravity, human body will experience a series of cardiovascular deconditioning. The vascular endothelial cells are the most important component of the vessel wall, so the changes of biological characteristics of vascular endothelial cells are directly related to cardiovascular deconditioning. Therefore, it is important to prevent and treat the cardiovascular deconditioning in astronauts by studying the effect of microgravity on biological characteristics of vascular endothelial cells.

OBJECTIVE To explore the application of data mining(DM) technique in the management against hospital infection in operating room.METHODS The data in hospital information system(HIS) were comprehended,prepared and then excavated by the base of DM technique,which were used to evaluate the management against hospital infection in operating room.RESULTS DM could be applied in variety fields against hospital infection in operating room,such as,intelligent preparing system of sterile and disposable articles in operating room,prediction of incisional wound infection after operation to arrange operation reasonably and to prevent abuse of antibiotic,analysis of the application of antibiotics during peri-operation and the rules of their drug resistance happened,and mangement of visitors and trainees,in solving the difficulty and avoiding the error using HIS,and in dynamic monitoring of routine work of hospital infection in operating room.CONCLUSIONS The new technique of DM can be applied to distinguish those unknown,effective,novel and potential information or knowledge from database,and can be effectively applied on the management of hospital infection in operating room.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the incidence of integrons in Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from blood samples in Peking University People′s Hospital and to analyze the correlation between integrons and drug resistance of P.aeruginosa.METHODS Forty-two strains of clinically isolated P.aeruginosa were collected.The antibiotics susceptibility was tested by K-B methods.Integrase gene of integron was amplified by PCR using degenerate primers.The integrons were classified by restriction fragment length polymorphism(RFLP) analysis of positive PCR products with Hinf Ⅰ restriction enzyme.RESULTS The drug-resistance rates of 42 strains of P.aeruginosa against 20 kinds of antibiotics ranged from 9.5% to 100%.Twenty-three strains were resistant to 12 kinds of antibiotics.Nineteen of the 42 isolates(45.2%) contained integrons,all of which were revealed as class Ⅰ of integrons by RFLP analysis.Neither class Ⅱ nor class Ⅲ of integron was detected.The positive percentage of integrons was increased by years.CONCLUSIONS Class Ⅰ integrons are widespread in isolates from blood samples in our hospital.The presence of integrons is closely associated with multi-drug resistance of P.aeruginosa.

The change of gravity causes a series of physiological dysfunctions,such as redistribution of blood,destruction of skeleton,reduction of hemopoietic tissue and so on.Since the success of mission to the moon and construction of space station,the study on change of human physiological functions under microgravity has been underway.With the machine of microgravity developing maturely,associated researches have made big steps forward.However,intensive study on the changes of human hemostasis and thrombosis under the microgravity are still needed,especially in the area of high incidences of bleeding and thrombotic diseases.The result will help to prevent hemostasis and thrombosis on astronaut and promote the development of our national aerospace industry.

OBJECTIVE:To provide theoretical support for the scientific and reasonable policy-making of 23-valent pneumococ-cal polysaccharide vaccine(PPV-23)in elderly. METHODS:Retrieved from CJFD,Wanfang Database,Elsevier and PubMed,lit-erature about the pharmacoeconomics evaluation of PPV-23 in elder were selected and statistically analyzed in respects of cost stud-ies,effect indexes and research perspectives. RESULTS:Totally 13 literatures were included,involving 900 472 patients,who were older than 60 years old. Study locations were mainly Colombia,the United States,Italy,Belgium and China. Study results showed,each additional quality-adjusted life-year(QALY)cost was between $ 9 239-$ 33 000 in respect of cost;cost-effectiveness ratio was between $ 9 239-$ 45 161/QALY in respect of effect indexes. Most researches showed PPV-23 in elderly older than 65 years old had certain cast-effectiveness. Only a research in Netherlands held the idea that PPV-23 in elderly was not considered cost-effectiveness.CONCLUSIONS:Putting PPV-23 inelderly has certain cost-effecctiveness and most countries has put it into nation-al immunization program. The present researches can't ensure the economy of putting ppv-23 in elderly in china,so it needs more researches with high quality to ensure it.
