Radio frequency identification sensor network, a technique integrating radio frequency identification (RFID) with wireless sensor network (WSN), is introduced. The basic structure of RFID sensor network is analyzed at first. Then components of RFID sensor and relevant supporting techniques including thin film battery, quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and surface acoustic wave (SAW) are discussed. Research status and foregrounds of both domestic and international researches are introduced as well as applications in different fields.

Objective To evaluate the potential mutagenicity of a new machinable bioactive glass-ceramic material.Methods Thirty N1H mouse inbred line (female:male =1:1) were divided to three groups at random (n =10),including glass-ceramic groups (oral administration of 5 g/kg glass-ceramic powder and arabic gum),negative control group (arabic gum in equal volume),and positive control group (oral administration of 40 mg/kg cyclophosphamide).The mice orally intook the equivalent liquor and were sacrificed with bone marrow cells abstracted 24 hours later.The micronucleated cells were counted in 1 000 polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) per mouse,then the rate of the micronucleus in every group was measured.Results The rate of the micronucleus in glass-ceramic group,negative control group and positive control group was 1.31±0.53‰, 1.32±0.62‰ and 29.20±0.74‰ respectively.There was no significant difference in the rate of the micronucleus between the experimental and negative groups (P＞0.05),while a significant difference in the rate of the micronucleus was observed between experimental and positive groups (P＜0.01).Conclusion The new machinable bioactive glass-ceramic materials couldn't increase the micronucleus rate of mouse bone marrow cells.

Radio frequency identification sensor network, which is a product of integrating radio frequency identification (RFID) with wireless sensor network (WSN), is introduced in this paper. The principle of radio frequency identification sensor is analyzed, and the importance of the antenna is emphasized. Then three kinds of common antennae, namely coil antenna, dipole antenna and microstrip antenna, are discussed. Subsequently, according to requirement, we have designed a microstrip antenna in a wireless temperature-monitoring and controlling system. The measurement of factual effect showed the requirement was fulfilled.

Quantum dots, as a new kind of biological fluorescence material, have properties superior to the traditional organic dyes. In the recent decade, researches about the application of quantum dots in biomedicine have made great progress. Tumor markers have vital importance in the diagnosis and treatment of carcinoma; however, they are not widely used for lack of specificity and sensitivity. Researches about applications of quantum dots in the detection of tumor markers are centralized in three aspects, namely the detection of serum/plasma tumor markers, the detection of tissue and cell tumor markers (such as molecular imaging of cell and tissue), and the detection of tumor in vivo animals. A combination of quantum dots and flow cytometry technique for developing a new technique to detect multiple kinds of tumor markers at the same time with greater sensitivity, specificity, rapidity and convenience may have the potential for clinical use of quantum dots.

Threatened abortion is a common disease of obstetrics and gynecology and one of the diseases responding specifically to traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. The China Association of Chinese Medicine organized experts in TCM obstetrics and gynecology， Western medicine obstetrics and gynecology， and pharmacology to deeply discuss the advantages of TCM and integrated Chinese and Western medicine treatment as well as the medication plans for threatened abortion. After discussion， the experts concluded that chromosome， endocrine， and immune abnormalities were the key factors for the occurrence of threatened abortion， and the Qi and blood disorders in thoroughfare and conception vessels were the core pathogenesis. In the treatment of threatened abortion， TCM has advantages in preventing miscarriages， alleviating clinical symptoms and TCM syndromes， relieving anxiety， regulating reproductive endocrine and immune abnormalities， personalized and diversified treatment， enhancing efficiency and reducing toxicity， and preventing the disease before occurrence. The difficulty in diagnosis and treatment of threatened abortion with traditional Chinese and Western medicine lies in identifying the predictors of abortion caused by maternal factors and the treatment of thrombophilia. Recurrent abortion is the breakthrough point of treatment with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine. It is urgent to carry out high-quality evidence-based medicine research in the future to improve the modern diagnosis and treatment of threatened abortion with TCM.
