[The diagnostic value of serum beta-hydroxybutyrate in diabetic ketosis or diabetic ketoacidosis].
To determine the diagnostic value of serum beta-hydroxybutyrate (betaOHB) in diabetic ketosis or diabetic ketoacidosis. ⋯ Diabetic patients with a level or higher than 1 mmol/L serum betaOHB can accurately predict DK/DKA. Patients with a level or lower than 0.66 mmol/L serum betaOHB are unlikely to have DK/DKA.

[Advances and improvements in the diagnoses and treatments of lung cancer].
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. The topics of this issue include the changes of lung cancer epidemiology and its histological characteristics, the value of low dose CT in early detection of lung cancer and the image characteristics of solitary pulmonary nodule in early diagnosis of lung cancer, the advances in the therapeutic strategies for lung cancer with brain metastases and pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma, and new potential targets of molecular targeted therapy in lung cancer. In order to more effectively improve the survival and prognosis of the patients with lung cancer, it is necessary to strengthen basic research on the molecular pathogenesis of lung cancer, and to translate the advances in basic research into the efforts of exploring the specific and sensitive diagnosis tools for lung cancer, and so increasing the accuracy of early screening and diagnosis, as well as classifying the lung cancer by molecular pathology to achieve individualized therapy.

[Protective effect of ischemia preconditioning of lower limbs on brain ischemia-reperfusion injury via neural pathways].
OBJECTIVE To explore if ischemia preconditioning of lower limbs could protect the local ischemia reperfusion damage in rat brain and the role of neural pathways during the process. ⋯ The ischemia preconditioning of lower limbs may provide protection on ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats brain through neural pathways.
