The late-preterm infant refers to the infant who is born at 340/7 through 366/7 week's gestation.In recent years,the number of the late-preterm continually ascends and the proportion of them in the preterm group increase as well.Recent studies find that the rates of morbidity and mortality of late-preterm infants are much higher than those of term infants.The rise of the proportion of the former and the more medical resources consumed attract the considerable attention thereby.In this article,we will review late-preterm infants' morbidity of several systems and its influential factors in order to provide more information for perinatal medical staff to improve diagnosis,treatment and further research.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for content determination of dihydroartemisinin in Dihydroartemisinin and piper-aquine phosphate tablets. METHODS:HPLC was performed on the column of Waters YMC-Pack ODS-AQ with mobile phase of acetonitrile-water(gradient elution)at the flow rate of 1.0 ml/min,the detection wavelength was 216 nm,column temperature was 30℃,and injection volume was 20 μl. RESULTS:The linear range of dihydroartemisinin was 0.009 650-1.930 mg/ml(r=0.999 9);RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were no more than 0.5%;average recovery was 100.76%(RSD=0.95%,n=9). CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,rapid and accurate,and can be used for the content determination of dihydroartemis-inin in Dihydroartemisinin and piperaquine phosphate tablets.

The formation and progression of tumor is inseparable from the changes of cell cycle regulatory proteins.The G2-M period block effect of tumor cells is especially important in slowing the growth of tumor and improving the curative effect.DNA damage receptor,signal transduction factor and effectors are the classical pathways to mediate G2 phase arrest of tumor cells,and have the potential to be new targets for tumor therapy.

As one of the treatment options for early stage NSCLC,stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT)is mainly applied to the inoperable patients.Compared with small doses of traditional fractionated radi-ation treatment,SBRT are taken a single high dose of radiation.A large body of experience has been accumula-ted over the years and the mathematical model to describe survival in high dose range typically used in SBRT and the best dose of segmentation model were focused on,but there has not yet reached a consensus.Studies show that SBRT has certain advantages in local control ratio and adverse reaction compared with traditional radiotherapy,which can be used in operable patients in the future.

Objective:To investigate the alveolar bone defects of anterior alveolar bone in patients with bimaxillary protrusion by using cone-beam computed tomography ( CBCT ) . Methods: The samples consisted of 50 patients with bimaxillary protrusion, who were assigned to the teenage group[20 cases, (13. 1 ± 1. 0) years] and adult group[30 cases, (22. 9 ± 4. 2) years] . The adult group included 9 hy-po-divergent, 11 normo-divergent and 10 hyper-divergent patients. The images were obtained by using NewTom VG CBCT and the alveolar defects were evaluated. Results:The ratio of the patients had alveo-lar bone defects was 94. 00%. Meanwhile, the defects were associated with 38. 60% of all the teeth. Most defects occurred on labial alveolar bone ( 98 . 66%); fenestration was found more in the maxillary alveolar region and dehiscence occurred more in the mandible. The dehiscences (3. 06%) and defects prevalence (30. 13%) of the teenage group were significant lower than those of the adult group (11. 73% vs. 42. 46%), P<0. 05; while there was no significance of the fenestrations prevalence between the two group (P>0. 05). The hypo-divergent group had lower fenestrations prevalence (22. 22%) than the normo-divergent (33. 84%) and hyper-divergent groups (37. 50%), P<0. 05. The upper central incisor had the lowest alveolar bone defect prevalence. Conclusion: Alveolar bone defects are common findings in patients with bimaxillary protrusion before orthodontic treatment. The prevalence of defects is affected by age and vertical-growth type.

Procalcitonin ( PCT) has closely related to the severity of senile pulmonary infection, and its dynamic detection can be used as the auxiliary diagnosis index for elderly severe pneumonia ( SP) . The effects of serum PCT dynamic detection in the early quick identification, diagnosis, disease course monitoring and prognosis evaluation for elderly SP were reviewed, and the effects and clinical significance of the detection in the optimization of antibiotic therapy were also summarized in the paper. The results showed the impor-tant value of PCT dynamic detection in the diagnosis of elderly SP and anti-infection therapy.

OBJECTIVE:To study the restraining factors in the intravenous immune globulin(IVIG.)bacterial endotoxin test.METHODS:A series tests were designed;the sensitivity of limulus was checked and the limit of endotoxin was validated;the effects of vehicle and pH value on the IVIG endotoxin test results were observed so as to find out the chief restraining factors of this test method.RESULTS:Lower pH value has an inhibition effect on the in IVIG bacterial endotoxin test.CONCLUSION:Bacterial endotoxin test can replace the rabbit testing method in the pyrogen test of IVIG.When the condition of lower pH is changed.

While only in minute quantities in the body, trace elements are crucial co-factors and regulators of normal metabolism.Commonly tested elements include calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, and copper.Imbalance or deficiencies in trace elements can cause growth retardation, malnutrition, immune malfunction and other abnormalities in children.Because these elements are in trace amounts, sensitivity and reproducibility of detection methods are of paramount importance.Different methods for the same element can yield different reference intervals, which, in order to be applied in the clinic, would have to be independently established by individual laboratories.Clearly defined indications and good quality control to ensure accuracy and sensitivity are necessary for the measurement of trace elements to provide objective reference for clinical diagnosis.

Objective:To find a better way to protect the security and interests of vulnerable groups by exploring the problem of protecting the vulnerable groups in drug clinical trial from the perspectives of ethics committees,organization and researchers.Methods:According to the relevant literature and the actual situation of the hospital,this paper analyzed the security issues of vulnerable groups comprehensively.Results:Only the ethics committees,organization and researchers work together,can it protect the security and interests of vulnerable groups to the greatest extents.Conclusion:Further research on the security of vulnerable groups not only promotes the development of human health,but also plays a decisive role in improving the protection of subjects in drug clinical trial.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of hand-assisted laparoscopic liver resection without hand-port devices. Methods Eight patients were selected into the study, including 5 cases of primary liver cancer located at the segment Ⅳ or Ⅴ or the left lateral lobe, 2 cases of liver spongy hemangioma and 1 case of hepatic focal nodular hyperplasia. After the laparoscopic devices were set up, an oblique incision below the right costal margin was made. The length of the incision was the same as the operator’s wrist. In the absence of hand-port or “blue disc”, the operator’s left hand directly entered the abdominal cavity through the incision. With the assistance of operator’s left hand, the laparoscopic liver resection was conducted, with the ligaments surrounding the liver dissociated, the liver transected and the cut surface properly managed. Results Laparoscopic liver resection was performed successfully in all the 8 patients. The operation time ranged 90～180 min (mean, 118 min), and the blood loss was 50～ 300 ml (mean, 160 ml). There was no uncontrolled bleeding during the operation and no complication happened. Conclusions Hand-assisted laparoscopic liver resection without hand-port devices is a safe and feasible procedure. It may not only reach the purpose of hand assistance but also lower the surgical costs.
