Substantial evidence supports the relationship between chronic inflammation and cancer development. Numerous studies suggest that chronic inflammatory disease, such as periodontitis, contributes to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma development. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common malignant tumor in the oral and maxillofacial regions. Porphyromonas gingivalis, one of the most important pathogens in association with periodontal disease, might have a potential correlation with OSCC. Along with the development of molecular biological techniques, the association between Porphyromonas gingivalis and OSCC has been greatly emphasized in recent years. This review summarizes the association between these variables and the potential mechanisms involved in such relationship.

Clinicians should assume the responsibility of nutritional therapy for satisfactory outcomes. They should master knowledge on nutritional metabolism, and participate in the administration of nutritional support. Clinicians should be acquainted with new concepts and standardized techniques in this field, such as different requirement of energy, understanding of early nutritional support, and optimal regimens of enteral or parenteral nutrition.

Respiratory distress syndrome( RDS) is a critical respiratory disease and commonly occurs in preterm infants. Preterm RDS is mainly due to the deficiency of lung surfactant. However,recent studies have in-dicated that genetic susceptibility may involve in the pathogenesis of RDS in preterm infants. In this paper,recent research progresses of genetic susceptibility and related candidate genes of RDS in preterm infants at home and abroad are reviewed.

Objective To investigate the changes and significance of platelet parameters and leucocyte in the children suffered from mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP).Methods The platelet parameters (PLT),the platelet volume(MPV),the platelet distribution width (PDW),and the white blood cell count(WBC) were detected by automatic blood cell analyzer respectively in 300 children with MPP before and after the treatment by macrolides antibiotics for a week as well as in 40 normal children.The comparison was made among them.Results There were 156 cases that suffered from thrombocytosis (PLT ＞ 300 × 109/L) in MPP group,the incidence rate was 52.0％(156/300).While there was 1 case with thrombocytopenia,the incidence rate was 0.3％ (1/300).The WBC,MPV and PDW in MPP group before and after one-week treatment were higher than the control group.And the PLT was higher than the initial stage of hospitalization and the control group.The differences had statistical significance.Conclusion The incidence rate of thrombocytosis was high in the children suffered from MPP.The dynamic observation of platelet parameters and WBC in children with MPP could be used as the elementary basis of judging MP infection.

Objective:To get the basic situation of the list of low-price medicines and their sales in Tianjin to pro-vide future policy reference. Methods:The low-price medicine list was analyzed through different principles of classifica-tion including the National Essential medicine List ( NEML) , National Reimbursement medicine List ( NRML) and exclu-sive production. The study analyzed the sales status of the low-price medicines in the Tianjin from 2008 to 2011 using the Tianjin Urban Employee Basic Medical Insurance (UEBMI) database. Results:19 classes of chemical medicines and eight classes of traditional Chinese Medicine are included in the low-price medicine list. All of the medicines in the low-price list come from the NRML, and the replication ratio between the NEML and the low-price medicine list is 54. 1%. There are 41 exclusive productions and 149 exclusive formulation productions. From 2008 to 2011, the average ratio of the chemi-cal low-price medicines and traditional Chinese Medicine sales to total medicines sales are 4. 7% and 11. 0%, respective-ly. Both national essential medicines and exclusive formulation production sales ratios are increasing, however the sales ra-tio of exclusive production decreased from 2008 to 2011. Conclusion:The government should pay greater attention to the supply and production of the list’s exclusive production. The sales ratio of low-price medicines to total medicines sales is much lower in the retail pharmacies and tertiary medical institutions than other medical institutions. Suggestions:The gov-ernment should practice the shortage report system of common low-price medicine as soon as possible, with efforts made to implement the global budgeting policy and encourage sales enthusiasm for low-price medicines in retail pharmacies.

Objective To assess the value of spiral and cine CT for the diagnosis of foreign body in trachea in children. Methods Fifty-one consecutive pediatric patients suspected of aspirating radiolucent foreign body underwent chest radiography, 12 of them underwent three-dimensional spiral CT and cine CT scan within 24 h before rigid bronchoscopy. Results Rigid bronchoscopy showed foreign bodies in the main bronchus or bronchus intermedius of 42 patients, while spiral CT localized airway foreign bodies in the same patients. In the remaining 9 patients without foreign body found by rigid bronchoscopy, 6 were true-negative and 3 were false-positive on CT, making the overall sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and positive and negative predictive values of CT scans was 100% (95% confidence interval, 91%-100%), 66.67% (29%-92%), 94.12% (64%-99%), 93.33% (81%-98%) and 100% (54%-100%), respectively. The cine CT scan correctly diagnosed 9 of 12 patients as true-positive and 3 as true-negative with identification of air trapping and secondary lung changes. Conclusion CT may be used in airway foreign body management of pediatric patients, especially with diagnostic dilemmas, and further prospective evaluations should be considered to assess its overall efficacy.

Because of the relationship between the quality and the processing technology of Chinese herbal pieces was very close, we proposed concerning the problems of Chinese herbal pieces characters and processing experi-ence. Then, we made use of intelligent sensory technique to objectively express the characters of Chinese Herbal pieces, and explored to set the methods and models about evaluating the quality of Chinese herbal pieces of appear-ance characters and internal quality. To realize the expression of experience terms such as huoli and huohou in the process of Chinese herbal pieces objectively, we adopted on-line infrared temperature measurement and biologi-cal evaluation technologies, and established new technologies and methods of Chinese herbal pieces process quality control in the process.We established a workable monitoring technology, which could not only achieve the controlla-bility and stability of processing quality, also ensured the safety and effectiveness of Chinese herbal pieces.
