Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of nasal continuous positive airway pressure ventilation and conventional mechanical ventilation in the treatment of neonatal respiratory failure (NICU).Methods 68 cases of neonatal respiratory failure in our hospital from June, 2014 to June, 2016 in neonatal intensive care unit, according to the random number table method were divided into two groups: The observation group involved 34 patients with nasal continuous positive airway pressure, the control group 34 patients with conventional mechanical ventilation treatment.The changes of arterial blood gas analysis, clinical effect and complication were compared between the two groups.Results The PCO2 of the two groups was significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the observation group was higher than the control group (P<0.05).There was no significant difference in PO2 between the two groups (P>0.05).However, pH value was significantly increased, and the observation group was smaller than the control group (P<0.05).The total effective rate was 94.12% in the observation group and 67.65% in the control group (P<0.05).The time of ventilation and incidence of comorbidities in the observation group was significantly shorter than that in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Nasal continuous positive airway pressure ventilation for treatment of neonatal respiratory failure can more significantly improve the efficacy than conventional mechanical ventilation, shorten the time on the machine and reduce the relevant complications.So it is worth promoting.

Objective Study of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) for low birth weight infant parenteral nutrition effect. Methods A total of 100 low birth weight infants were selected, and then divided into the study group and the control group with 50 cases in each group according to random number table method. The study group used PICC for intravenous nutrition support treatment, the control group using external support for the treatment of indwelling needle for nutrition week vein. Comparing the two groups of one-time success rate of catheterization, average operation time, indwelling time, incidence of complications and nutritional support before and after the treatment, the children of weight. Results The one-time success rate of catheterization between the two groups had no significant difference (P >0.05). The operation time and the indwelling time in the study group was(30.65±9.87) d, (23.47±6.38) d respectively, while in the control group was (3.26±1.09) d, (4.15±1.52) d respectively, the difference was significant between the two groups (t=19.054 and 20.829, P<0.01). The incidence of complications in the study group was 8.00%(4/50), while in the control group was 24.00%(12/50), the difference was significant between the two groups (χ2=4.76, P<0.05). There was no significant difference about weight between the two groups before and after the nutritional support treatment (P > 0.05). Conclusions Parenteral nutritional support by PICC for low birth weight infant is a more ideal way with longer indwelling time and fewer complications.

Objective To investigate clinical features of alopecia areata such as sex, age, and subjective symptoms, and relationships between these factors and disease severity. Methods Clinical materials of patients who were diagnosed as alopecia areata were collected. The role of sex was analyzed in the disease and the correlation between disease severity and sex, age or psychological factors was analyzed. Results 118 patients including 101 cases of localized alopecia areata (AA), 5 alpecia totalis (AT) and 12 alopecia universalis (AU) were collected. The ratio of male to female was 1.2:1 and there was no correlation between sex and disease severity. The patients were from 1 to 76 years old while average age was 31.3?1.3 years, and that of the female patients was 28.9?1.9 and the male was 33.2?1.8; The median course was 2.5 months, while AA was 2 months, and AT/AU was 18 months; 14.4% patients (17/118), including 11 cases of AA and 6 AT/AU had subjective symptoms; 20.3% patients (24/118) had psychological factors before onset, 60.2% patients (71/118) had difficulties in sleeping, nail changes were found in 15.2% patients (18/118), and ocular symptoms were found in 5.9% patients (7/118), 5.9% patients (7/118) had family history, 3.4% patients (4/118) were accompanied by disease of thyroid gland, 1.7% patients (2/118) were accompanied by vitiligo, TGA and TMA levels elevated abnormally in 4.8% patients (3/62). Conclusion Alopecia areata often affects young to middle-aged people, and there is no correlation between sex and disease severity; Female patients are younger than male; A few patients are induced by psychological factors, and some accompanied by other autoimmune diseases. AT/AU is easier to have subjective symptoms than AA.

Objective:Bone marrow-derived dendritic cells ( DCs) were extracted and gave tanshinone ⅡA to intervene ,and we observed the change of DCs function ,which investigate the effects of tanshinone ⅡA in immune system.Methods:Extract bone mar-row-derived DCs,and cells were cultured in complete medium with 10 ng/ml GM-CSF and IL-4.On day 5,magnetic cell sorting was used to purify DCs,and the purify must be up to 90%.Then,a certain concentration of tanshinone ⅡA or LPS was gave to the cell cul-ture,and cells and supernatant were collected for following experiments .We used flow cytometry to detect phenotype , and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to detect cytokine production of TNF-αand IL-12.Also,allogeneic mixed lymphocyte reaction was used to detect the ability of DCs to induce T cell proliferation and polarization .Results:When the concentration of tanshi-none ⅡA was 500 ng/ml,the inhibition of secretion of TNF-αwas maximal.So we chose that concentration .Compared with the control group,DCs in experimental group had reduced expression of CD 80,CD86 and MHCⅡ(P<0.05).Compared with the control group ,DCs in experimental group displayed the reduced level of IL-12 and TNF-α(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,DCs in experimen-tal group had reduced ability to induce T cell proliferation (P<0.05).Compared with the control group ,DCs in experimental group in-duced T cell to secret increased level of IL-4,and reduced level of IFN-γ(P<0.05).Conclusion:TanshinoneⅡA can inhibit the den-dritic cells maturation induced by LPS ,which takes part in immune system and autoimmune diseases .

Objective To investigate the expression of Th1/Th2 cytoki nes in early symptomatic syphilitic lesions and its relationship with the sero-c onversion of RPR test in patients with syphilis. Methods The expression of Th1/Th2 cytokines in lesions from 30 patients with early symptomatic syphilis was i mmunohistochemically detected with ABC method. The serum titers of RPR test in t hese patients were measured in 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after routine benzathine penicillin treatment. Results Among 10 cases of primary syphilis, the express ion of both Th1 and Th2 cytokines in the lesions was found in 9 cases, while onl y Th1 cytokine expression was observed in the remainder case; and the sero-conve rsion of RPR test occurred in all 10 cases during the follow-up period. Among 20 cases of secondary syphilis, Th1/Th2 cytokines expressed in the lesions in 16 c ases, and only Th2 cytokines expressed in 4 cases; and the sero-conversion of RP R test was found in 12 cases during the follow-up period. The expression of Th1 cytokines in early syphilitic lesions was positively correlated with the sero-co nversion of RPR test. The higher the expression of IFN- the more likely the s ero-conversion of RPR test. Conclusion The early activation and persistence of the expression of Th1 cytokines may play an important role in the clearance of pathogens.

AIM: To study the role of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) activation in high glucose-induced collagen Ⅲ synthesis in NRK52E cells. METHODS: Normal rat tubular epithelial cell line NRK52E was cultured in D-glucose of different concentrations, pretreated with SB203580 and collected at different time points. The levels of phospho-p38MAPK and extracellular matrix collagen Ⅲ were examined by Western blotting. RESULTS: The activation of p38MAPK was shown to be dependent upon D-glucose concentration and the time-course. Pretreatment with SB203580 blocked p38MAPK activation induced by high concentration of D-glucose in NRK52E cells. CONCLUSIONS: The activation of p38MAPK induced by high concentration of glucose may play a role in diabetic interstital renal fibrosis. SB203580 has a potential value of clinical applications in the prevention and treatment of diabetic nephropathy.

AIM:To analyze circulating miR-141 in the serum as a non-invasive biomarker in the patients with prostate cancer ( PCa) and benign prostate hyperplasia ( BPH) , and healthy individuals.METHODS: A total of 75 pa-tients with PCa, 52 with BPH and 40 healthy individuals were enrolled into this study.Total RNA was isolated from the se-rum samples and the circulating levels of miR-141 were determined using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS:The serum levels of miR-141 were significantly higher in the patients with PCa compared to the patients with BPH and the healthy controls (P<0.01).The level of miR-141 in PCa group obviously differed from that in BPH group and healthy control group with high diagnosis performance, with areas under the curve of 0.785 and 0.801, respectively. No statistically significant difference of the serum miR-141 levels between the patients with BPH and healthy individuals was observed (P>0.05).The serum miR-141 level was also found to be related to Gleason score, clinical stage and bone me-tastasis status of the patients with PCa (P<0.05), and the patients with higher Gleason scores had higher serum miR-141 levels.No relationship was detected between miRNA-141 level and the patient’ s age, biochemistry recurrence and serum prostate-specific antigen level (P>0.05 for all comparisons).CONCLUSION: Circulating miR-141 could serve as a non-invasive biomarker for prostate cancer diagnosis, staging and prognosis prediction.
