Objective To study the protective effect of intraaortic protamine injection on lung in infants undergwent opening heart operation by cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. Methods Sixty infants (age ≤ 1 year,weight ≤ 10 kg)who accepted opening heart operation by cardiopulmonary bypass surgery were randomly assigned into 2 groups ( n = 30 in each group) reciving intra-aortic and intra-venous protamine injection respectively. P-peak, P-plate, CL, Oxygenation Index, the number of WBC and neutrophil segregated in lungs were compared between two groups before injecting protamine and 10 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours after injecting protamine. The time of mechanical ventilation were compared as well. Results P-peak, P-plate, the number of WBC and neutrophil segregated in lungs of intra-aortic injection group significantly decreased than intra-venous injection group at 1 hour, 3 hours after injecting protamine (t =2.743, 3.512; 3.218, 3.469; 3.716, 5.243; 3.853,4. 783 respectively, Ps < 0. 05 ), while the CL and Oxygenation Index increased significantly ( t = 3. 976,4. 267; 4. 557,4. 265 respectively, P < 0. 05 ). The duration of mechanical ventilation follow operation in intraaortic injection group ( [8. 03 ± 5. 14] h ) was shorter compared with intra-venous injection group ( [10. 56 ±6.95]h) (t =2.599,P<0.05). Conclusion By intra-aortic protamine injection the lung injury decreased significantly. It shows good protective effect on lung in infants underwent opening heart operation by cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of sirolimus 0.1% ointment in the treatment of facial angiofibromas in children with tuberous sclerosis complex. Methods Sirolimus 0.1% ointment was prepared. Twenty children with tuberous sclerosis complex who had facial angiofibromas were enrolled in this study. Facial angiofibromas were topically treated with the self?prepared sirolimus 0.1% ointment twice a day for 12 weeks. The facial angiofibroma severity index(FASI)was calculated, the degree of satisfaction with the treatment was evaluated, and adverse reactions were analyzed at weeks 4 and 12. Plasma sirolimus concentrations as well as blood biochemical and immunological parameters were measured, blood coagulation activity was evaluated, and routine blood tests as well as urine tests were performed at baseline and week 12. Results The FASI of patients significantly decreased at weeks 4(4.400 ± 1.284)and 12(2.975 ± 1.543)compared with that at baseline(5.750 ± 1.175, both P<0.000 1), and was significantly lower at week 12 than at week 4(P < 0.000 1). The efficacy index was 49.87% ± 22.08% at week 12, significantly higher than that at week 4(24.43%± 10.18%, t=7.338, P<0.01). The color, size and number of lesions significantly decreased in all the patients, and facial angiofibromas completely disappeared in 2 patients at week 12. At week 4, 10 parents were satisfied with the improvement of erythema, 3 parents with that of lesion volume, and 3 parents with that of lesion area. The degree of parent satisfaction increased at week 12 in all the cases. The blood concentration of sirolimus was lower than 1.0μg/L both before and after the treatment. No severe systemic or local adverse reactions were noted in these patients. Conclusion Sirolimus 0.1%ointment is markedly effective and safe for the treatment of facial angiofibromas in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex.

Objective Investigate the effects of early application of noninvasive respiratory support on very low birth weight infant(VLBWI). Method A total of 65 VLBWI(born during September 2015 to September 2016 with 28-32 weeks gestational age;1000 g ≤ birth weight < 1500 g;exclusion of combination with congenital deformity)were randomly divided into the early application of noninvasive respiratory support as observation group (n = 33) and the application of endotracheal intubation with gen respiratory support as control group (n = 32). Comparison of two groups was carried out by SPSS in terms of incidence of endotracheal intubation,BPD,pulmonary infection,pneumothorax,and necrotizing enterocolitis,together with rescue ratio,total oxygenation time and hospitalization. Results No significant difference was found on incidence of pneumothorax,necrotizing enterocolitis and rescue ratio between two groups. The incidence of endotracheal intubation,BPD,pulmonary infection and total oxygenation time was markly decreased in observation group. Conclusion Early application of noninvasive respiratory support benefits VLBWI via reducing incidence of endotracheal intubation,BPD,pulmonary infection, total oxygenation time.
