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.

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 investigate neuro-biochemical changes of bilateral anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) in the patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and the correlation between abnormal metabolism and the cognitive function before and after treatment.Methods Fifteen patients with major depression and 15age-,sex-and education-matched healthy controls (HC) were involved.The neurochemical abnormalities including the levels of N-acetylaspartate (NAA),choline-containing compounds,glutamate/glutamine and myoinostol were measured by single-voxel proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic (1H-MRS).The subjects were then assessed with executive function with neuropsychological tests including Wisconsin cards sorting test (WCST),verbal fluency Task (vF),StrooP Color and Word Test (SCWT).After this,the patients took selectivity serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) for eight weeks.Then,we examined the changes in NAA,Cho,Glx and MI in ACC of patients and assessed their executive function with the neuropsychological tests again.Results 1) In ACC,baseline NAA ((7.36 ± 1.67) mmol/L),GLx ((11.68 ± 1.65) mmol/L) and MI levels ((5.28 ± 0.66) mmol/L) were significantly lower in MDD compared to those of HC (NAA (9.27 ± 1.37)mmol/L,Glx (15.20 ± 1.91)mmol/L,MI (7.80 ± 2.73) mmol/L) (P ＜0.01) ; After treatment,the NAA ((9.34 ± 2.45) mmol/L) and Glx ((16.79 ±3.96) mmol/L) increased significantly after treatment compared to those prior to pretreatment (NAA(7.36 ± 1.67)mmol/L,Glx(11.68±1.65)mmol/L,P＜0.05).2) The normal controls exhibited better in Performance of WCST and Performance of completion time of SCWT than our MDD patients (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).The patients made significant improvements in Performance of WCST and completion time of SCWT(C form) after treatment (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).3) In post-treatment MDD,the ACC Glx level was significantly positively correlated with the categories completes of WCST (r=0.739,P=0.009) and inversely related with the numbers to complete the first categories of WCST (r=-0.699,P=0.017) and the completion time of SCWT(C form) (r=-0.651,P=0.030) ;elevated MI(r=-0.705,P=0.023) and NAA(r=-0.735,P=0.010) levels in ACC of post-treatment MDD were both negatively correlated with the numbers to complete the first categories of WCST.Conclusion The ACC may be a key region involved in antidepressant treatment in MDD.The increased ACC NAA,Glx and MI in MDD after treatment may be significantly correlated with the improve of executive function.

Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is an important subtype of cerebrovascular disease. It is also one of the major reasons for resulting in vascular cognitive impairment or dementia in the elderly. SVD is a small arteriovenous lesion in subcortex caused by a variety of causes, mainly causing subcortical lacunar infarction, white matter damage, microblecds and other pathological changes. There is evidence that vascular endothelial function and blood-brain barrier damage may result in small vessel structures and perivascular changes, which may be the initial factors.of causing SVD. Genetic susceptibility is also one of the risk factors that can not be ignored.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy and safty of combined treatment telmisartan plus simvastatin on early diabetic nephropathy. Methods46 patients with early diabetic nephropathy were randomly divided into two groups. Control group ( n ＝ 23 ) received regular insulin therapy, captopril l0mg tid. Study group received telmisartan 80mg qd plus simvastatin 20mg qd on the basis of control group therapy. All patients received 16 weeks treatment. The clinical parameters were measured before and after therapy. ResultsAfter 16 weeks treatment,the urine MAU in both study group and control group were significantly decreased( all P ＜0. 01 ) ,however,the urine MAU in telmisartan plus simvastatin combination group decreased significantly than control group( P ＜ 0. 01 ). Improvement of lipid level in the study group better than the control group( P ＜0. 01 ). Kidney function,fasting blood glucose levels and HbAlc had no significant changes before and after treatment. ConclusionTelmisartan plus simvastatin combined treatment was better than the traditional therapy,which can delay the development of early diabetic nephropathy.

Dendritic cells (DCs) are the important auxiliary cells in tumor vaccines to activate antitumor immunity.Suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 ( SOCS1 ) has been shown to play an important role in inhibition of cytokine signal transduction.Recent studies show that inhibition of the function of SOCS1 in DCs plays a critical role in strongly enhancing tumor vaccines antitumor activity,and in the methods of restraining SOCS1 's function have also made significant progress.
