Objective To elucidate the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of Aspergillus necrotizing bronchitis. Methods Medical records and investigation data from 5 eases of Aspergillus necrotizing bronchitis were retrospectively analyzed, and related literatures were reviewed. Results Five patients (3 males and 2 females) with mean age of 63.6 y were enrolled in this study. All patients had histopathologically proved necrotizing aspergillosis of the large airways. Common presentations included cough, short of breath, sputum production, fever and haemoptysis. Tracheoscopy presentations included necrosis, mucous hyperemia, focal airway constriction and neoplasm. The CT findings included bronchial wall thickening, narrowing of the bronchial lumen, which was often associated with distal obstructive pneumonia. Conclusions The clinical manifestations of Aspergillus necrotizing bronchitis are nonspecific, and histopatholagical diagnosis is essential for a definite diagnosis and can be supported by tracheoscope or imaging techniques.

Objective To investigate the effect of Kangaroo care(KC)on diminishing neonatal pain during heel lancing. Methods Sixty neonates were divided randomly into two equal groups:intervention group and control group,which 30 cases in each group.In the intervention group,neonates were treated with KC(neonates were put in direct and continuous skin-to-skin contact with his/her mom)from 20 mins before heel lancing to 1 mins after the end of the lancing.In the control group,neonates were treated with regular care.The differences in heart rate,blood oxygen saturation,facial pain expression,crying duration and DAN(Douleur Aigue Nouveaune)scores between two groups were compared at 7 time points from 10s before the heel lancing to 10s after the lancing. Results The results of repeated measu te at 7 time points after heel lancing.There were significant interaction effect between time and main effect(P<0.01),which showed that the heart rate of two groups were not equal at different time points.Compared with the time effects(P<0.01)which showed that two groups of neonatal heart rate of the two groups would accelerate with time extension. There were significant differences(all P<0.05)in heart rate at 7 time points between two groups and smaller heart rate varied range in intervention group.The results of repeated measures analysis for neonatal blood oxygen saturation at 7 time points after heel lancing. There were significant interaction effect between time and main effects(P<0.01),which showed that the blood oxygen saturation of two groups were not equal at different time points.Compared with the time effect(P<0.01),which showed that two groups of neonatal blood oxygen saturation would reduce with time extension.There were significant differences(all P<0.05)in blood oxygen saturation of two groups at 30s,40s and 50s after heel lancing and smaller blood oxygen saturation varied range in intervention group.The crying duration and DAN scores in intervention group were significantly reduced compared with the controls(all P<0.05).Conclusions
Heel lancing could lead to moderate to severe pain of neonates.KC could effectively diminish the neonatal pain degree caused by heel lancing.

AIM: To study the neuroprotective effect and possible mechanism of ganglioside GM 1 on neonatal hypoxic-ischemic-encephalopathy(HIE). METHODS: A rat model of neonatal HIE was established, then the pathological changes and expressions of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in the brain tissues were investigated in different periods after hypoxia-ischemia (HI) and the subseqent changes of the above results after GM 1 administrated. RESULTS: The damage of the brain exposed to HI were alleviated significantly after GM 1 administrated. The levels of NOS expressions in the brain tissue increased after HI. GM 1 could inhibit NOS expressions induced by HI. CONCLUSION: GM 1 may have some protective effects on neonatal HIE, and the possible mechanism is related to the partial inhibition of NOS expression.

Objective To analyze the detection rate of HBV serological makers in non-hepatic inpatients in the past six years. Methods Serum samples of 70 582 non-hepatic inpatients from three large hospitals were collected during 2003 to 2008. Serological markers of HBV ( HBsAg, anti-HBs, HBeAg, antiHBe and anti-HBc) were detected by the AxSYM MEIA system (Abbott Laboratories,Abbott Park,IL).Combining the test results of serological makers with other clinical data, several analysis models for this retrospective study were set up to evaluate the year-to-year changes in serological makers and the detection rates of each model. Results The order from high to low of detection rate of the 5 HBV serological markers was anti-HBc (55. 17% ), anti-HBs (49. 57% ), anti-HBe (28.42%), HBsAg ( 8. 92% ) and HBeAg (2. 12% ), and all of them had a downward trend in the past six years. The positive rate of HBsAg went down from 9. 30% (2003) to 8.70% (2008). The positive rate of HBsAg among people who were born after 1992 (2. 28% ) were significantly lower than that of the overall population (8. 92% ) and fell from 3.57%(2003) to 1.85% (2008). Each detection rate of all serological makers had male sexual side effect [HBsAg ( 12. 38%/7. 25% ), HBeAg ( 2. 72%/1.58% ), anti-HBc ( 56. 57%/53.43% ), anti-HBe (41.50%/28. 35% ) and anti-HBs (65.48%/50. 00% ), male/female]. The differences were statistically significant (Chi-square values of HBsAg, HBeAg, anti-HBc, anti-HBe and anti-HBs were 509.74,105.78, 69.66, 1 321.61 and 1 726.91, respectively; all P < 0. 01).Twenty-six models of HBV serological makers from 70 582 inpatients were summed up, and 8 models had positive rates geater than or equal to 1%. The "All Negative" model ranked No. 1 and had no significant change from year to year. During the past six years, models representing "A11 Negative" and "anti-HBs Positive alone" were mainly in individuals younger than or equal to 20-year-old, while the models representing "anti-HBc and/or anti-HBe,anti-HBs Positive" were mostly in people older than 20-year-old. The distribution curve of models representing "HBsAg, HbeAg and anti-HBc Positive" and "HBsAg, anti-HBc, anti-HBe Positive"etc. showed a bell-shape, covering the population from 20-year-old to 70-year-old. Conclusions The slowlydescending tendency of the detection rates of HBV serological makers was observed during the past six years.The detection rates of HBV in the younger generation decreased significantly. However, the HBV infection rates of overall population is still high, so it is a high time that we made continuous improvement for the serum HBV screening technique in order to reduce the HBV infection ratess.
