1.Application of noninvasive high-frequency oscillatory ventilation in the treatment of neonatal respiratory failure: a review
Journal of Preventive Medicine 2022;34(6):586-589
Abstract
As a common critically illness among neonates and notably premature infants, respiratory failure is one of the major factors for neonatal deaths. Ventilator, an effective tool for assisted ventilation, is effective to remarkably improve respiratory failure; however, the conventional mechanical ventilation is likely to cause a series of injuries and complications. Therefore, noninvasive ventilation is commonly used in clinical practices. Noninvasive high-frequency oscillatory ventilation is an emerging noninvasive respiratory, in which tracheal intubation is replaced with nasal plug and mask to transfer high-frequency airflow to the airway. It facilities rapid correction of the imbalance of ventilation blood flow ratio, reduction of carbon dioxide retention, increase in oxygen saturation, and reduction in incidence of complications and risk of failure in ventilator withdrawal, which has been employed for the treatment of respiratory failure among neonates. The review descries the applications of noninvasive high-frequency oscillatory ventilation in respiratory support among neonates with respiratory failure, so as to provide insights into the management of respiratory failure among neonates.

Objective To investigate the effect of inhibiting the expression of Navl. 8 sodium channels by an antisense oligodeoxynudeotide(ODN) on visceral hypersensitivity. Methods The visceral hypersensitivity animal models induced by giving neonatal Sprague-Dawley rats colorectal distention(CRD) after postnatal days 8, 10 and 12. Animals were injected intrathecally either Navl. 8 antisense ODN (research group) or mismatch ODN (control group) twice a day for 3 days at the 8th week. After that, the expression of Navl. 8 in each group was examined by RT-PCR, and abdomiral withdrawal reflex(AWR) score and spinal c-Fos expression were evaluated to assess whether the intervention can relieve the visceral hypersensitivity. Results After intrathecal injection with the antisense ODN, the expression of Navl. 8 in each group decreased.AWR score and the number of c-Fos positive neurons in the spinal cord, especially in the area 1 and 3, decreased in the model group, while they did not change in the control group. Conclusions Interventing the expression of Nav1.8 may relieve the visceral hypersensitivity in this model of irritable bowel syndrome.

Objective:
To construct a core competency training indicator system for high-level public health talents using the Delphi method, so as to provide insights into optimization of high-level public health talents training.
Methods:
Based on review of publications pertaining to core competency training for high-level public health talents, in combination with public health priorities and development needs in China, a preliminary indicator system was constructed. Twenty public health experts were invited for two rounds of Delphi expert consultation. Indicators were screened based on the frequency of full marks, mean score and coefficient of variation (CV), and the weight of indicators was determined using the Entropy weight method. The effectiveness of the Delphi expert consultation was evaluated using the active degree, authority coefficient and the consistency degree.
Results:
Twenty experts participated in the consultation, including 12 men, and there were 6 experts at ages of 30 to 39 years, 8 at ages of 40 to 49 years, and 6 at ages of 50 years and older. There were 17 experts with an educational level of master and above, 19 with senior professional titles and all experts had working experiences for 10 years and longer. The active degrees were 95.24% and 100.00% for two rounds of consultations, and the overall authority coefficient was 0.87. Following two rounds of consultations, all CVs were reduced to below 0.25, and the coordination coefficients were all statistically significant (P<0.05), with a higher coordination coefficient in the second round of consultation than in the first round. The constructed core competency training indicator system for high-level public health talents included four primary indicators, including health protection, health service improvement, health promotion, and essential quality, with weights of 0.388, 0.310, 0.122 and 0.180, 11 secondary indicators, with high weights seen for protection of human health from threats (0.178), monitoring and assessment of health service utilization (0.157) and promotion of health service quality and access (0.112), and 70 tertiary indicators, with high weights seen for Chinese writing (0.038), capability for health policy suggestions (0.034) and global perspective (0.030).
Conclusion
The core competency training indicator system for high-level public health talents constructed in this study may provide insights into training of high-level public health talents.

Objective To evaluate the application of health education in patients with cholecystectomy. Methods From October 2009 to July 2010, 93 patients in our hospital with cholecystectomy were randomly divided into the control group (45 cases) and the observation group(48 cases). The control group was given routine nursing care, the observation group received perioperative health education in addition to the routine nursing care, then compared the nursing effect of two groups. Results In the observation group, the patients' knowledge and awareness rate of their own disease was 95.8%, and the control group was 80.0%, the difference was statistically significant between two groups. The recovery of gastrointestinal function in the observation group was significantly better than the control group, the difference was statistically significant between two groups. Conclusions Health education can enable patients with cholecystectomy correct understanding of their disease, eliminate negative emotions, and help the recovery of gastrointestinal function in patients, which is worthy of attention.

Objective To look for and confirm the downstream regulated gene of microRNA (miRNA)-148a in pancreatic cancer cell line.Methods The target gene regulated by miRNA-148a was predicted through bio-informatics analysis.The plasmid containing desired gene and with luciferase 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) reporter was constructed.Pancreatic cancer cells BXPC-3 were transfected with analogs and inhibitors of miRNA-148a by liposomes.The activity of luciferase was measured to determine whether miRNA-148a directly connected with desired gene.The expression level of miRNA-148a was changed in BXPC-3 cells,and the changes of target gene v-verb-b2 erythroblastic leukemia viral oncogene homolog 3 (awian) (ErbB3) expression were detected by Western blot at protein level.The data were analyzed by one way ANOVA.Results There was a conservative binding site of ErbB3 with miRNA-148a detected by bio-informatics analysis,miRNA-148a directly combined with ErbB3 and the activity of luciferase decreased to (25.00+47.00) % of the negative control (F=4.66,P< 0.01).After miRNA-148a overexpression,the gray value of ErbB3 expression in BXPC-3 cells decreased to (26.16±4.69)% of control group (F=6.563,P<0.05).Conclusion miRNA-148a directly targeted and regulated the expression of ErbB3 in pancreatic cancer cell line BXPC-3.
