The organization of Stand-by UN Peace-keeping Medical Contingent in PLA is at its Primary Stage.By Combining the Organization Practice of UN Peace-keeping Chinese Medical Contingent with the Draft MOU and Reality in our Army,The Authors Deeply Studied the Organization Plan,including the Mobilization,criteria for the candidates,and Medical Standards et al.

Objective:To evaluate the impact of different glucose levels in women with gestational diabetes mellitus on maternal and neonatal outcomes.Methods:Data of 65 pregnant women with GDM admitted in our hospital from January 2001 to October 2006 were reviewed.A total of 46 GDM women had blood glucose levels under control before delivery and the rest 19 GDM women did not.The impact of different glucose levels on maternal and neonatal outcomes were compared between the two groups.Results:In the group with the glucose level uncontrolled,the incidence of hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy,premature rupture of membrane,hydramnios,postpartum hemorrhage,premature infant,neonatal asphyxia,fetal macrosomia,and therapy after 34 weeks pregnancy were 42.11%,26.32%,31.58%,21.05%,47.37%,15.79%,36.84%,and 57.89%,respectively.compared with those of the group with glucose level controlled as 15.22%,4.35%,6.52%,2.17%,17.39%,0.00%,10.87%,and 28.26%,respectively.All the rates of the uncontrolled group were markedly higher than those of the controlled group.Conclusion:Gestational diabetes mellitus does great harm to mother and infant.Diagnosing GDM and controlling blood glucose as early as possible can decrease the complications of mother and infant.

As an anti-epilepsy drug,gabapentin plays an important role in the treatment of neuropathic pain through a variety of central and peripheral mechanisms.Studies have shown that gabapentin has better efficacy for post-stroke pain,spinal cord injury-related pain,postherpetic neuralgia,and pain in diabetic peripheral neuropathy.For mild adverse effects,good tolerance and lack of interactions,gabapentin is an ideal drug for the treatment of neuropathic pain.

UN medical service aims at setting up standards applying to peacekeeping operations, which is also in line with usual medical care system. Based on full apprehension of UN medical service guidelines and its system, Chinese Medical Contingent made a comprehensive analysis of all factors affecting medical support, and established a series of medical service projects with consideration of the characteristics of Chinese Armies.

Imbalance of energy metabolism is a major cause for metabolic syndrome. AMP-activated protein kinase AMPK is a central component of a protein kinase cascade that plays a pivotal role in the regulation of intracellular energy status.AMPK activity is a response to the ratio of AMP/ATP in the cell.When a stress causes an inhibition of ATP production or an increase of ATP consumption,cellular AMP/ATP ratio increases,AMPK is activated.Once activated,AMPK initiates a series of responses to restore the energy balance within the cell.AMPK switches on catabolic pathways,such as fatty acid oxidation and glycolysis,to generate ATP,and switches off anabolic pathways,such as fatty acid synthesis and protein synthesis,to reduce ATP-consumption.Therefore,AMPK functions in an ideal position not only as an energy sensor at cellular level,but also as a pivotal player in the regulating pathways that control both energy expenditure and energy intake,in particular by mediating the effects of hormones and cytokines such as leptin,adiponectin and ghrelin.The recent finding that anti-diabetic drug metformin and TZD regulates glucose metabolism through the activation of AMPK suggested a possible role of AMPK in protecting the body from metabolic diseases such as metabolic syndrome,obesity and type 2 diabetes.Thus,further work in this field in the next several years will be necessary in order to fullyunderstand the role of AMPK in regulating the balance of energy storage and expenditure in different tissues and at the whole body level.Targeting to AMPK cascade would also have potentially pharmaceutical application for obesity and metabolic syndrome.

Gastroesophageal reflux cough (GERC) is a special type of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and one of the common causes of chronic cough .The therapies of GERC include general treatment , medication and surgery .At present antireflux medicine is the major therapy to GERC .A lot of new kinds of medicine have being developed and applied in addition to antacid and gastric motility improver .The short-term and long-term effects of antireflux surgery have nott been confirmed due to the lack of reliable prospective randomized controlled studies .The advancements on therapy of GERC are reviewed in this paper .

Separations of neurotransmitters such as dopamine (DA), ser otonin (5-HA), norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine (E) were performed successf ully using a homemade electric field modulated capillary electrophoretic system, which could offer both radial and axial electric fields with only one high volt age power supply. DA and 5-HT were eluted simulaneously and could not be resolv ed in 0.01 mol/L phosphate buffer at pH 2.5. Alcohol additives, such as methanol , ethanol or 1-propanol were added to the buffer to change the solvation shell of the solutes, which changed their effective sizes and electrophoretic mobiliti es of the solutes accordingly. The optimum composition was a buffer of 20% (V ／V） 1-propanol, with resulted resolutions 0.74 (DA/5-HT), 0.56(5-HT/NE) and 0.77 (NE/E). If a positive radial voltage of 6.6 kV was applied, the resolut ions were improved to 1.48, 0.71 and 1.32, respectively.

Autonomic nerve dysfunction is common after onset of ischemic stroke.Heart rate variability (HRV) has been used widely because of the regulation effect of heart rate by the quantitative analysis of the autonomic nervous system.This article reviews the evaluation method of HRV and its clinical significance in ischemic stroke.

Two unusual cases of coexistence of Hashimoto′s thyroiditis and subacute thyroiditis were reported. The diagnosis was based on the comprehensive analysis of clinical symptoms, laboratory data and histological findings. If patients with confirmed evidence of subacute thyroiditis were accompanied with markedly and persistently elevated titers of thyroid autoantibodies, coexistence of both diseases should be suspected.
