Objective To investigate the efficacy of volume target pressure control(VTPC)and synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation(SIMV)in treating severe neonatal respiratory distress syndrome(NRDS). Methods Fifty - six admitted cases with severe NRDS hospitalized in Jiangmen Central Hospital from October 2012 to March 2015 were randomly divided into 2 groups:28 cases in VTPC group were treated by VTPC and SIMV,and 28 cases in pressure control ventilation(PCV)group were treated by PCV and SIMV. There was no significant difference between 2 groups in terms of gender,gestational age,and birth weight(all P ﹥ 0. 05). Artery blood gas analysis was performed at 6 hours,12 hours,24 hours,and 48 hours respectively after ventilation. The following parameters were observed:the time of invasive mechanical ventilation,duration of oxygen therapy,mortality and the incidence rates of hypocapnia,pneumo-thorax,ventilator associated pneumonia( VAP),grade Ⅲ - Ⅳ periventricular intraventricular hemorrhage( PVH -IVH),periventricular leukomalacia(PVL)and bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD). Results No case in 2 groups withdrew from the test. There was no significant difference between 2 groups in terms of the first treatment time and total doses of poractant alfa injection(all P ﹥ 0. 05). The time of invasive mechanical ventilation in VTPC group[(71. 75 ± 9. 82)h]was shorter than that in PVC group[(97. 89 ± 16. 88)h](t = 7. 083,P = 0. 000). Hypocapnia incidence of four blood gas analysis in VTPC group[(19. 64 ± 14. 20)% ]was lower than that in PCV group[(47. 32 ± 18. 43)% ] (t = 6. 294,P = 0. 000). Incidence rates of VAP and PVL in VTPC group were lower than those in PCV group(χ2 =5. 197,P = 0. 023;χ2 = 4. 766,P = 0. 029). However,duration of oxygen therapy,mortality and the incidence rates of pneumothorax,Ⅲ - Ⅳ PVH - IVH and BPD were not significantly different between 2 groups( all P ﹥ 0. 05). Conclusion VTPC + SIMV has a better efficacy than PCV + SIMV in the treatment of NRDS.

Objective To investigate the clinic value of procalcitonin( PCT)and c-reactive protein ( CRP)in differential diagnosis for febrile diseases. Methods One hundred and forty patients with febrile diseases in May 2009 to February 2014 in the No. 309th Hospital of People Liberation Army were investigated and analyzed retrospectively. Based on discharge diagnosis,patients were divided into bacterial infection group( n=58),non-bacterial infection group(n=47)and rheumatic diseases group(n=35),another 40 healthy people were served as the control group. Serum PCT and CRP were detected and compared in four groups. One month after backing to normal temperature in all the patients,detected serum PCT and CRP again. Results Serum PCT and CRP level in bacterial infection group,non-bacterial infection group,rheumatic diseases group and control group were(5. 18 ± 1. 92)and(0. 45 ± 0. 22),(0. 34 ± 0. 13)and(0. 16 ± 0. 05)μg/L,(25. 31 ± 4. 24), (1. 94 ± 0. 37 ),( 62. 32 ± 15. 10 ) and( 1. 30 ± 0. 04 ) mg/L respectively. Serum PCT and CRP level in bacterial infection group were significantly higher than that in control group(P﹤0. 01). Even though serum PCT and CRP level in non-bacterial group slightly higher than that of healthy control group,there was no statistical difference(P﹥0. 05). Serum PCT and CRP level in bacterial infection group were significantly higher than that of non-bacterial infection group( P ﹤0. 01 ). Serum CRP level in rheumatic diseases group was significantly higher than that of healthy control group( P﹤0. 01),while PCT level only slightly higher compared with healthy control group(P﹥0. 05). One month after backing to normal temperature in all the patients,serum PCT and CRP level in bacterial infection group reduced significantly compared with that of febrile period( P ﹤0. 01). Serum PCT and CRP level in non-bacterial infection group were no significant change( P﹥0. 05 ),and serum CRP level in rheumatic diseases group reduced significantly( P﹤0. 01 ),while serum PCT were no significant change(P﹥0. 05). Conclusion Serum PCT combined with CRP might be of great importance in the differential diagnosis for febrile diseases.

Objective To investigate the associations of variants in signal transducer and activator of transcription 4 (STAT4) in Chinese Han population with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods The study was performed in 228 RA cases and 228 controls. Haplotypes from the HapMap database Chinese population were used to select tag-single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (r2=0.9) in STAT4 gene. Twenty-three SNPs located in STAT4 gene were examined by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) was tested by a chi-square and Fisherˊs analysis. Differences in genotypes of the STAT4 polymorphism variants were evaluated using a Chi-square test. All statistical analyses were done with Haploview 4.1 software. Results Significant difference was detected in three SNPs (rs11685878, rs129888 and rs16833437) in allele frequencies analysis (χ2=6.014 8, 4.024 8, 5.539 1, P<0.05). Association was detected for three SNPs (rs11685878, rs16833437 and rs12988825) in genotype analysis ( χ2=6.814 9, 6.098 7, 6.691 7, P<0.05). Conclusion STAT4 may associate with susceptibility in Chinese Han population.
