Objective: To observe the characteristics of changes in non-invasive hemodynamic parameters in neonates with septic shock so as to provide clinical reference for diagnosis and treatment.
Methods: A observational study was conducted. The neonates with sepsis complicated with septic shock or not admitted to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of the First Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College were enrolled as the study subjects, who were divided into preterm infant (< 37 weeks) and full-term infant (≥ 37 weeks) according to the gestational age.

Background: Very preterm infants born small for gestational age (SGA) are at risk for short- and long-term excess mortality and morbidity resulting from immaturity and deficient intrauterine growth. However, previous findings are inconclusive, and there is a paucity of contemporary data in Chinese population.
Objectives: To evaluate the excess risks of mortality and morbidity independently associated with SGA birth in very preterm (before 32 weeks of gestation) Chinese infants.
Background: Thyroid hormones play an important role in the normal growth and maturation of the central nervous system. However, few publications addressed the altered thyroid hormone levels in preterm small for gestational age (SGA) newborns. We hypothesized preterm SGA infants have higher thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) concentrations than appropriate for gestational age (AGA) ones within the normal range and an increased incidence of thyroid dysfunction.

It has systemic complications and high mortality, making the early assessment of the severity of this disease even more important. Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) could be novel, non-invasive biomarkers for disease progression judgment.

Study: This randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, positive-controlled study compared the efficacy and safety of cinitapride (1 mg) and domperidone (10 mg) tid for 4 weeks in 383 consecutive patients with mild to moderate, postprandial distress syndrome-predominant dyspeptic symptoms according to Rome III criteria.

Aim: To develop the simple, rapid and sensitive dual-label time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay for pepsinogens in human serum.
Methods: Based on two-site sandwich protocol, monoclonal antibodies (McAbs) against pepsinogen I (PG I) and PG II were co-coated in 96 microtitration wells, and tracer McAbs against PG I and PG II were labeled with europium (Eu) and samarium (Sm) chelate, respectively. Diluted serum samples of Eu(3+)- and Sm(3+)-McAbs were added into microtitration wells simultaneously.

Objective: To explore the value of analysis of p53 gene mutation in fecal specimen in the diagnosis of colorectal carcinoma (CRC) in order to establish a non-invasive method for the screening of CRC.
Methods: The status of p53 gene mutation of the tumor tissues and corresponding fecal specimens was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-single strand configuration polymorphism with EB staining in 40 CRC, 20 colorectal adenoma and 15 gastrocarcinoma.
Results: Amplification rates of fecal p53 gene were 90%, 85% and 93% in 40 CRC, 20 colorectal adenoma and 15 gastrocarcinoma, respectively.
