With high incidence and prevalence,high costs and poor outcome.Optimal dietary and nutrition management is an essential part in managing chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is associated with better patient outcome.An appropriate dietary and nutrition management should be based on chronic disease management model,provided by a multidisciplinary team,and implemented continuously with patient education,evaluation and goal-setting,and finally improve patients' clinical outcomes.

Mechanical ventilation is regarded as an effective means of replacing artificial ventilation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and has been widely used in the treatment of cardiac arrest (CA) patients. However, there are still some controversial issues remaining to be settled, such as the assessmentof the effectiveness of mechanical ventilation, the selection of the optimal oxygen concentration (FiO2), tidal volume (VT), respiratory frequency, and mode of ventilation during the CPR process. The pros and cons of positive pressure ventilation are also inconclusive. We reviewed and summarized the related research in recent years, and recommended that the intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) of volume controlled with small VT (6-7 mL/kg), low ventilation rates (10 times/min), and pure oxygen could be applied during the mechanical ventilation of CPR. The best mechanical ventilation strategy still needs further experimental researches to discover and explore.

Objective To explore the operational indications, preoperative evaluation,operative essentials and clinical prospect of endovascular repair(EVR) for aortic dissection.Methods Twenty-six patients underwent EVR for aortic dissection and all cases were Stanford B dissection.Four patients had two or more tear entries in different sites.Computed tomography angiography(CTA) or digital subtraction angiography(DSA) were used as preoperative evaluation methods.Results The grafts were installed successfully in 26 patients(100%).The patients were followed up for 1 to 18 months after treatment,and there was no endoleaks and organ or limb ischemia in all the patients.Conclusion Endovascular repair was simple,safe and effective in treating aortic dissection and dissecting aneurysm.

Bosentan is a non-selective endothelin receptor antagonist,which plays an important role in the treatment of children with pulmonary arterial hypertension.Bosentan has shown to improve exercise capacity,hemodynamics and reduce pulmonary vascular resistance in pediatric patients.The main adverse effect is less severely comparing with the adult.The combination of bosentan with other drugs can improve the life quality furtherly.Further study of large-scale trials needs focus on the long-effects of bosentan,the ideal period of therapy and the effects of combination therapy in children.

A new class of dendrimer polylysine poly(ethylene glycol)-lipid was designed and synthesized. The cationic polymer liposomes were prepared by the lipid film-extrusion and post-insertion two methods with these dendrimer polylysine poly(ethylene glycol)-lipid and other lipids. The structural properties of obtained cationic polymer liposomes were studied by laser light scattering and fluorescence spectrometer. It was demonstrated that the nano sized liposomes with different density of surface cationic charges can be prepared by either lipid film-extrusion or post-insertion methods, but post-insertion process did not affect drug loading, did not influence drug loading capacity and did not induce liposomal morphology and particle size. The density of positive charge does not affect the size and distribution of different liposomes size and distribution. It was the better choice for manufacture because post-insertion method did not cause early release of drug and size changes. Cell binding experiments show that cationic polymer liposomes, especially dendrimer polymer liposomes had higher local charge density, and therefore have dramatic non specific cell targeting ability.

Objective To investigate the ex pr ession of squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag) and carcinoembryanic antigen (CEA) and its clinical significance in patients with lung cancer. Meth ods The pre-treatment serum from 134 patients with lung cancer from 1998 to 2002 were analyzed for the SCC-Ag level and CEA level by IMX, and the correlation of the SCC-Ag level and CEA level with the clinicopathologic charac teristics were also detected. Results Significant correlations were found between the pre -treatment SCC-Ag level, and CEA level and the pathologic classification, clin ical stage, the positive rate of diagnosing lung cancer was raised by combined a ssay with serum SCC-Ag and CEA. Conclusion Pre-treatment and after-treatment measurement of serum SCC-Ag level and CEA level can be used for diagnosis, prediction of pr ognosis and monitor of after-treatment recurrence in patients with lung cancer.

Objective To establish a new method for the diagnosis of active human cytomegalo- virus(HCMV)infection in renal transplant recipients and investigate its value in guiding antivial the- rapy.Methods The expression of HCMV phosphoprotein 65(HCMV pp65)antigen in peripheral blood leucocytes was detected by immunohistochemistry and catalyzed signal amplification(CSA). Results In 100 renal transplant recipients,44 were found to be positive for HCMV pp65 antigen.The mean number of antigen positive cells was(72?45)/2?10~5 WBC in 29 recipients suffering from symp- tomatic HCMV infection,while that of 15 asymptomatic patients was(46?25)/2?10~5 WBC(P

Objective To evaluate and analyze the mental health of the seven year students in military medical universities. Methods SCL 90 was used to assess a total of 269 seven year students in military medical universities. The results were compared with the national norm, the five year students in military medical universities and the seven year students of local medical universities. Results Various mental health problems, including somatization, obsessive compulsion, depression, anxiety, hostility, paranoid ideation and psychotism, were found in 12 1% students. The mental health levels of these students were correlated with grades and sexes: mental health level of the lower grades was lower than that of the higher grades, and that of the female students was higher than that of the male students. Conclusion More mental stress responses are found in the seven year students in military medical universities.

Objective To develop a system based on wireless communication technology for psychometric questionnaire test.Methods The system was composed of one base station connected to the computer and multiple handsets.Low-power-consumption MSP430F149 and MSP430F123A were used in the base station and the handset respectively as the control unit.LSD-RF1100-A433 based on RF CC1100 was used as wireless data communication unit.By scanning each handset in sequence,the communication between the base station and the handset was realized.Then the base station could receive data which participants selected from the handsets and then sent to computer.The base station was connected to the computer through USB interface.Results Experiments showed that the system was reliable and antijamming.Conclusion The psychometric system,with the decreased weight and volume by wireless technology,can be used for large-scale psychological examination and personnel selection in some special industries.
