Non-invasive transcutaneous monitoring(TCM) of oxygen and carbon dioxide,with continuous,non-invasive characteristics,is in common use and significant in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU),which can directly reflect critically ill newborns'changes of respiratory and circulatory function.This review describes how to use TCM appropriately,compares the advantages and disadvantages of TCM with other monitoring devices,introduces its application in neonatal transport and NICU.

Purpose:To study the salvage treatment of recurrent intermediate—high grade non Hodgkin lymphoma(NHL). Methods:24 cases of recurrent intermediate—high NHL were divided into two groups: 10 cases with poor prognostic factors in group one(G1), 14 cases without poor prognostic factors in group two(G2).All cases were treated with ifosfamide(IFO), mitoxantrone(Mx), pingyangmycine(PYM), prednisone(Pred) (IMPP). IFO 1.5 g/m 2 iv on days 1 to 4, and mesna iv at hours;0, 4, 8 Mx 8 mg/m 2 on day 1; PYM 5mg/m 2 im on days 8 and 15; and Pred 100mg/d po on days 1 to 5. Every 4 weeks as one cycle. Assessment was given after 2 cycles. Results:The total CR rate was 58.3%(14/24), RR 79.2%(19/24). The CR rate was 30%(3/10), RR 60%(6/10) in G1 and the CR rate was 78.5% (11/14), RR 92.8%(13/14) in G2 ,respeetively. The difference of the two groups in CR and RR was significant( P

Objective: To explore the efficacy and mechanism of warm needling moxibustion plus percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) due to kidney deficiency and blood stasis. Methods: A total of 70 OVCF patients were randomized into a control group and an observation group, with 35 cases in each group. The control group was given PKP treatment, and the observation group was treated with warm needling moxibustion on the basis of the treatment in the control group. The visual analog scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were scored and the Cobb angle of fractured vertebrae was measured before and after treatment. The re-fracture rate of the adjacent vertebrae was recorded at 1-year follow-up. The serum levels of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 and omentin-1 were measured before and after treatment. Results: After treatment, the VAS and ODI scores in both groups decreased (all P<0.05), and all the scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (both P<0.05). After treatment, the Cobb angle of fractured vertebrae in both groups decreased (both P<0.05), and the Cobb angle in the observation group was smaller than that in the control group (P<0.05). At 1-year follow-up, the re-fracture rate of the adjacent vertebrae in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the serum levels of TGF-β1 and omentin-1 in both groups increased significantly (all P<0.05), and the serum levels of TGF-β1 and omentin-1 in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (both P<0.05). Conclusion: The treatment of warm needling moxibustion plus PKP can relieve pain, improve dysfunction, promote healing of the injured vertebrae, and reduce the re-fracture rate of the adjacent vertebrae in patients with OVCF due to kidney deficiency and blood stasis, which may be related to the increase of serum TGF-β 1 and omentin-1 levels.

In the scientific,systematic,practical and feasible principles,the quality control needs and management needs of health authorities and medical institutions were analyzed.The study probed into the real-time monitoring functions of existing hospital information systems and information products of IT technology firms,and the feasibility of setting up key monitoring points during medical service processes.685 real-time monitoring indicators have been set up for real-time monitoring of medical process quality.

The article describes the development of new magnetic bead separation and purification instrument. The main application of the instrument is to capture tubercle bacillus from sputum. It is a pretreatment instrument and provides a new platform to help doctors to diagnose bacillary phthisis. Not only could it be used for tubercle bacillus capturing, but also for gene, protein and cell separating and purification. Because the controller of the instrument is 16-bit single chip microcomputer, the cost could be greatly reduced and it will be widely used in China.

Objective To compare primary and secondary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis(FSGS)and the clinical characteristics of different subtypes.Methods The clinical and laboratory manifestations of 116 patients with primary and secondary FSGS in China-Japan Friendship Hospital from January of 2001 to December of 2008 were analyzed and compared.Results Of the 116 patients,88 were with primary FSGS(P-FSGS),13 with IgA nephropathy-associated FSGS(IgAN-FSGS),and 15 with obesity-related FSGS(OB-FSGS).Of the 88 patients with P-FSGS,53 were with not otherwise specified(NOS)type(60.2%),18 with cellular type(20.5%),13 with tip type(14.8%),4 with perihilar type(4.5%),and there was no case of collapsing type.Among the total 116 FSGS cases,the frequency of nephrotic syndrome was 41.3%,hypertension 54.3%,hematuria 59.5%,elevated serum creatinine level 44.8% and reduced creatinine clearance 54.3%.More than a half patients presented abnormal proximal or/and distal tubular function.Compared with P-FSGS and IgAN-FSGS,OB-FSGS patients had less proteinuria,higher serum albumin level,lower prevalence of nephrotic syndome,higher CCr and less decreased CCr cases(P

Physiology is one of the most important elementary subjects for medical students.Associated with physiological teaching practice,some experience is shared here to further improve teaching effect.

Ultra-wide-field fluorescein angiography (UWFA) can obtain very wide retinal images (up to 200°), and is a very helpful tool to detect peripheral retinal lesions which cannot be found by other imaging methods. Analyzing the characteristics of the UWFA images may improve our understanding, treatment outcomes and management strategies of ocular fundus diseases. However this technology is still in its premature stage, there is still a lot of work to be done to improve its clinical application and study the characteristics and clinical meanings of these peripheral retinal lesions.
