Objectives:To observe the role of combined use of early micro feeding and intravenous nutrition in low birth weight(LBW) infants. Methods:Fifty four cases of LBW infants were randomly divided into two groups.Early micro feeding and intravenous nutrition were given in one group(EF & IN group) and another group(Control group) was given only with intravenous nutrition.The times of intravenous nutritional support requirement and hospital stay,the increase in body weight and the changes in serum bilirubin,lipids and creatinine were compared between the two groups. Results:The times of intravenous nutritional support and hospital stay were shortened and the body weight was increased in EF & IN group. The levels of serum bilirubin and creatinine and the serial concentrations of lipids on the day 7 and 14 after birth were significantly lower than those in control group. Conclusions:The combination of early,micro feeding and intravenous nutrition is superior to the only use of intravenous nutrition in shortrenning the critical course,increasing the body weight,beginning the oral intake and decreasing the possible injuries from total parenteral nutrition.

As a kind of breast cancer surgery choice,the nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM)saves the patients′nipple-areola complex (NAC)which has significant meaning for patients′cosmetic results and posto-peration reconstruction.However,the clinical application of NSMis still in controversial.Some hot topics about oncological safety of NSM have appeared in recent years,such as the screening criterion of the enrolled patients,the situation of NAC involvement and the complications after NSM and handing methods.

Objective: To explore the necessity for application of bone wax stanching bleeding at sternal edge in cardiac surgery by median sternotomy. Methods: A total of 445 patients who receive cardiac surgery by the same surgeon performing median sternotomy in our hospital from 2011-01 to 2014-12 were studied. According to application of bone wax stanching bleeding, the patients were divided into 2 groups: Bone wax group,n=210 and Non-bone wax group,n=235. Re-thoracotomy for hemostasis, 12 h, 24 h and total draining volume after the operation and time of closing incision were compared between 2 groups. Results: There were 2 patients and 1 patient received re-thoracotomy for hemostasis in Bone wax group and Non-bone wax group respectively, which was not related to bone marrow cavity bleeding. In Bone wax group and Non-bone wax group, the draining volume at 12 h post-operation were (451 ± 240) ml vs (483 ± 238) ml, at 24 h post-operation were (615 ± 304) ml vs (639 ± 285) ml and the total volume were (842 ± 467) ml vs (842 ± 364) ml, allP>0.05; the time of closing incision were (68.0 ± 23.0 ) min vs (66.0 ± 19.0 ) min,P>0.05; the total transfusion rates were 21% vs 19%,P>0.05. Conclusion: Application of bone wax at sternum edge could neither affecting the drainage nor the speed of closing incision in cardiac surgery and therefore, it might be given up.

The purpose of this paper is to report the research and design of control system of magnetic coupling centrifugal blood pump in our laboratory, and to briefly describe the structure of the magnetic coupling centrifugal blood pump and principles of the body circulation model. The performance of blood pump is not only related to materials and structure, but also depends on the control algorithm. We studied the algorithm about motor current double-loop control for brushless DC motor. In order to make the algorithm adjust parameter change in different situations, we used the self-tuning fuzzy PI control algorithm and gave the details about how to design fuzzy rules. We mainly used Matlab Simulink to simulate the motor control system to test the performance of algorithm, and briefly introduced how to implement these algorithms in hardware system. Finally, by building the platform and conducting experiments, we proved that self-tuning fuzzy PI control algorithm could greatly improve both dynamic and static performance of blood pump and make the motor speed and the blood pump flow stable and adjustable.

Objective To investigate the value of dynamic contrast?enhanced MRI (DCE?MRI) in the differential diagnosis of glioblastoma and brain metastases. Methods Twenty patients with high grade gliomas and 20 cases patients with brain metastases proved by surgery and pathology were collected, and patients were examined with conventional MRI and DCE?MRI preoperatively. The ROIs were manually placed in solid parts of the tumors and their surrounding tissues to calculate Ktrans, Kep and Ve values. The Ktrans, Kep and Ve values differences for the solid part and surrounding tissues of the two brain tumors were compared by two independent sample t test. The correlation between Ktrans of the solid parts of the two brain tumors and Ktrans, Kep and Ve values of their surrounding tissues were studied by Pearson correlation analysis. Results The Ktrans, Kep and Ve values of glioblastoma were(0.258 ± 0.063)min-1,(0.398 ± 0.082)min-1, 0.632±0.084, the Ktrans, Kep and Ve values of brain metastases were(0.233±0.053)min-1,(0.357±0.042)min-1, 0.672±0.113. There were no significant differences between the glioblastoma and brain metastases for Ktrans, Kep and Ve values(t=-1.354,-1.982, 1.276, all P>0.05). The Ktrans, Kep and Ve values of surrounding tissues of glioblastoma were(0.093±0.032)min-1,(0.411±0.089)min-1, 0.107±0.021, the Ktrans, Kep and Ve values of surrounding tissues of brain metastases were(0.033±0.010)min-1,(0.204±0.045)min-1, 0.069±0.017. The Ktrans, Kep and Ve values of surrounding tissues between glioblastoma and brain metastases had significant difference (t=-7.978,-9.303,-6.203, all P<0.05). The Ktrans of glioblastoma were correlated with Ktrans, Kep and Ve values of their surrounding tissues (r=0.759, 0.464, 0.651, all P<0.05); The Ktrans values of brain metastases had no relationship with Ktrans, Kep and Ve values of their surrounding tissues (P>0.05). Conclusion The DCE?MRI can quantitatively display the microvascular permeability and accurately evaluate the damage of blood?brain barrier of glioblastoma and brain metastases, which has an important value in studying biological characteristics and differential diagnosis of the two brain tumors.

The folic acid level of cord blood in intrauterine growth retardation group was lower than that in control group [(11.01±4.29)nmol/L vs.( 14.87 ± 5.14)nmol/L,P＜0.05]. The folic acid level of cord blood in hyaline membrane disease of premature infant group was lower than that in premature infant control group [(9.15 ±4.02) nmol/L vs.(12.91±4.51) nmol/L,P＜0.05]. The positively correlation was found between the folic acid level of cord blood and birth weight in newborns (r =0.1825).Conclusion The folic acid level of cord blood is correlated with the occurrence of premature infants,intrauterine growth retardation and hyaline membrane disease in newborns.

We studied the effect of calcium ion on particle size and pore structure of cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) of glucose oxidase, with activity and stability of the enzyme as evaluation criteria. With calcium ion to prepare CLEA significantly decreased particle sizes of CLEAs whilst the pore structures of CLEAs gradually disappeared with the increase of calcium concentration. When glucose oxidase was precipitated at 0.1 mmol/L Ca²⁺, glucose oxidase in CLEA showed the definitive pore structure. Moreover, glucose oxidase activity in CLEA with Ca²⁺ was 1.69 times higher than that without Ca²⁺. Even at Ca²⁺ as high as 1.0 mmol/L, glucose oxidase activity in CLEA was 42% higher than that of CLEA without Ca²⁺. Furthermore, CLEA prepared with 0.1 mmol/L Ca²⁺ not only exhibited higher substrate conversion and operational stability, but also increased the maximum reaction speed. Therefore, calcium ion improved the performance of glucose oxidase in CLEAs.
