The identification of the specific cause in every patient has important clinical implications, because ischemic stroke is an etiologically heterogeneous disease. The Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) classification can be used to define the etiology of stroke. However, TOAST classification can not be completed timely on admission of patients with acute stroke, which has impacted early guidance of clinical treatment. This article reviews the biological markers of early differential-diagnostic significance of the TOAST classification.

In response to such setbacks as inefficient medical service,costly human resources and low rate of return on capital,due to the pursuit ofMega hospitalsand extensive management of hospitals,Wuxi No.2 People's Hospital introduced the delicacy management chain to improve its management and service.This article studied its practice of delicacy management chain as follows.By means of the six gears of organization,clinic,outpatients,medical technicians,nursing,and logistics,the management chain pursues such management goals as flat management,attending-focused clinical medicine,centralized outpatient service,integrated medical examinations,vertical nursing management,and logistics outsourcing.These efforts are designed for the optimization of both scale and construction efficiency.

Objective To explore the changes of serum cortisol and its influence on prognosis in children with traumatic brain injury( TBI) . Methods A total of 52 children suffering from TBI hospitalized in SICU of Nanjing Children′s Hospital from June 2014 to December 2015 were analyzed. According to the glasgow coma scale(GCS),they were divided into three groups:mild injury group(19 cases,GCS≥13), moderate injury group(16 cases,8

Objective To study the simple preparation method and structure of nano-hydroxyapatite/collagen composite, to investigate new substitute of repairing bone for using in tissue engineering. Methods Porous nano-hydroxyapatite was made of Ca (OH)2 and H3PO4. Collagen was drawn from fresh adult bovine tendon. The two materials were prepared into biomembrane through the glutaraldehyde and freeze-drying. The crystallite phase, micro-morphology, structure, crystallite size of the composite were examined by XRD and scanning electronic microscop (SEM). Results The results showed that the composite structure was porous and consisted of nano-hydroxyapatite (10 nm ? 50 nm - 20 nm ? 80 nm) and collagen fiber. The crystallite phases and size of the composite was similar to that of natural bone. Conclusion The porous nano-hydroxyapatite /collagen composite is expected to be an ideal substitute of repairing bone.

Objective To develop the human colon carcinoma(HT-29) liver metastasis model in nude mice,and to detect the expression of human telomerase reverse transcriptases(hTERT) mRNA in liver of nude mice. Methods Liver metastases were established in 30 Balb/c nude mice by intrasplenic injection of colonic cancer cells(HT-29),and the spleens were resected.After being sacrificed,the tumor growth was observed,and the pathological examinations were performed.The expression of hTERT mRNA in the livers of nude mice was detected by RT-PCR technique. ResultsHuman colon carcinoma(HT-29) liver metastasis model was developed in all the 30 nude mice,with the liver metastasis rate of 100%.The pathological results revealed the occurrence of liver metastases,and the expression of hTERT mRNA was positive in the liver tissues. Conclusion Intrasplenic injection of HT-29 cell is a reliable way for producing colonic cancer liver metastasis model,and the positive expression of hTERT mRNA in liver tissues indicates the significance of hTERT in the early diagnosis and treatment of colon carcinoma liver metastasis.
