ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of Feining Paidu decoction on refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in child patients. MethodA randomized controlled trial （RCT） was conducted， with 96 child patients randomly divided into a control group and an observation group， each containing 48 cases. The control group received intravenous azithromycin （10 mg·kg^-1·d^-1） for 7 days， intravenous methylprednisolone （1 mg·kg^-1·d^-1） for 3 days， along with supportive treatments such as fluid infusion and antipyretics. The observation group received oral administration of Feining Paidu decoction once a day for 7 days. Changes in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome scores， clinical efficacy， serum soluble B7-H3 （sB7-H3）， serum inflammatory factors， coagulation function， and lung imaging ［computer tomography（CT）］ scores were observed in both groups. Adverse reaction events were also recorded. ResultThe total effective rate in the observation group was 95.74% （45/47）， significantly higher than 80.43% （37/46） in the control group （Z=-3.702， P<0.01）. Compared with the results before treatment， TCM syndrome scores， lung imaging scores， sB7-H3， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， D-dimer （D-D）， and fibrinogen （FIB） levels in both groups all significantly decreased after treatment （P<0.05， P<0.01）. After treatment， the observation group showed significantly better results in these indicators than the control group （P<0.05， P<0.01）. There was no statistically significant difference in thrombin time （TT） in the control group before and after treatment， while the observation group showed a significant prolongation after treatment （P<0.05）. There were no statistically significant differences in activated partial thromboplastin time （APTT） and prothrombin time （PT） between the two groups before treatment， and no serious adverse reactions occurred in either group. ConclusionFeining Paidu decoction combined with conventional treatment can alleviate inflammatory responses， improve hypercoagulable states， promote the absorption of pulmonary inflammation， and enhance the clinical efficacy of refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in children.

Objective: To investigate the effects of continuous goal-directed analgesia on fluid resuscitation during shock stage in patients with massive burns, providing a basis for rational optimization of analgesia protocols in patients with burn shock. Methods: A retrospective case series study was conducted. One hundred and thirty-six patients with massive burns who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Zhengzhou First People's Hospital from January 2015 to December 2020, and the patients were divided into continuous analgesia (CA) group (68 cases,with average age of 44 years old) and intermittent analgesia (IA) group (68 cases,with average age of 45 years old) according to whether sufentanil injection was continuously used for intravenous analgesia during the shock stage. The patients in the 2 groups were predominantly male. Before and at 72 h of treatment, the severity of disease and trauma pain of patients in the 2 groups were scored by the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) and the visual analogue scale (VAS). Hematocrit, heart rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP), central venous pressure (CVP), oxygen saturation in central venous blood (ScvO₂), rehydration coefficient, blood lactate value, hourly urine output, and the adverse reactions such as hypotension, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, skeletal muscle tonicity, respiratory depression, bradycardia, pruritus, and drug addiction of patients in the 2 groups during the treatment were recorded at the 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd 24 h post-injury. Data were statistically analyzed with analysis of variance for repeated measurement, paired or independent sample t test, Bonferroni correction,chi-square test and Mann-Whitney U test. Results: Before treatment, APACHE Ⅱ and VAS scores of patients in the 2 groups were close (with t values of -0.67 and 0.32, respectively, P>0.05); At 72 h of treatment, APACHE Ⅱ and VAS scores of patients in CA group were 8.5±2.2 and 2.5±1.6, both of which were significantly lower than (15.2±3.0) and (7.9±2.0) of patients in IA group, respectively (with t values of -14.94 and -17.46, respectively, P<0.01). Compared with the pre-treatment period, the APACHE Ⅱ and VAS scores of patients in IA group decreased significantly at 72 h of treatment (with t values of 11.35 and 30.59, respectively, P<0.01); the changes in APACHE Ⅱ and VAS scores of patients at 72 h of treatment in comparison with those of patients before treatment in CA group were all similar to those of patients in IA group (with t values of 4.00 and 4.82, respectively, P<0.01). Compared with those of patients in IA group, there were no significant changes in CVP, hematocrit, heart rate, ScvO₂, and MAP of patients in CA group at all three 24 h post-injury (with t values of <0.01, 0.12, 2.10, 1.55, 0.03; 0.13, 0.22, <0.01, 0.17, 0.49; 0.63, 0.06, 0.04, 2.79, and 2.33, respectively, P>0.05). Compared with those of patients in IA group at the 1^st 24 h post-injury, CVP, ScvO₂ and MAP of patients were significantly higher at the 2^nd and 3^rd 24 h post-injury (with t values of -10.10, -9.31, -8.89; -10.81, -4.65, and -9.43, respectively, P<0.01), and the heart rate of patients was significantly lower at the 2^nd and 3^rd 24 h post-injury (with t values of 7.53 and 7.78, respectively, P<0.01), and the hematocrit of patients decreased significantly only at the 3^rd 24 h post-injury (t=15.55, P<0.01); the changes of CVP, ScvO₂, MAP and heart rate of patients at the 2^nd and the 3^rd 24 h post-injury, and HCT of patients at the 3^rd 24 h post-injury, in comparison with those of patients at the 1^st 24 h post-injury in CA group were similar to those of patients in IA group (with t values of -12.25, -10.24, -8.99, 9.42, -8.83, -7.53, -11.57, 10.44, and 12.91, respectively, P<0.01). Compared with those of patients in IA group, the rehydration coefficient of patients in CA group was significantly higher only at the 3^rd 24 h post-injury (t=5.60, P<0.05), blood lactate value of patients in CA group was significantly lower at the 1^st and 2^nd 24 h post-injury (with t values of 4.32 and 14.52, respectively, P<0.05 or P<0.01), the hourly urine output of patients in CA group increased significantly at the 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd 24 h post-injury (with t values of 24.65, 13.12, and 5.63, respectively, P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the those of patients at the 1^st 24 h post-injury, the rehydration coefficient of patients in IA group decreased significantly at the 2^nd and the 3^rd 24 h post-injury (with t values of 33.98 and 36.91, respectively, P<0.01), the blood lactate values of patients in IA group decreased significantly at the 2^nd and the 3^rd 24 h post-injury (with t values of 8.20 and 11.68, respectively, P<0.01), and the hourly urine output of patients in IA group was significantly increased at the 2^nd and the 3^rd 24 h post-injury (with t values of -3.52 and -5.92, respectively, P<0.01); the changes of rehydration coefficients and blood lactate values of patients at the 2^nd and the 3^rd 24 h post-injury in comparison with those of patients at the 1^st 24 h post-injury in CA group were similar to those of patients in IA group (with t values of 35.64, 33.64, 9.86, and 12.56, respectively, P<0.01), but hourly urine output of patients in CA group increased significantly only at the 3^rd 24 h compared with that of patients at the 1^st 24 h post-injury (t=-3.07, P<0.01). Adverse reactions such as hypotension, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, bradycardia, and pruritus occurred rarely in patients of the 2 groups, and none of the patients had skeletal muscle tonicity, respiratory depression, or drug addiction. The incidence of adverse reactions of patients in CA group was similar to that in IA group (χ²=0.08, P>0.05). Conclusions: Continuous goal-directed analgesia can effectively relieve pain and improve vital signs of patients with large burns. Meanwhile it has little impact on volume load, which can assist in correcting ischemia and hypoxia during the shock period and help patients get through the shock period smoothly.

Objective To construct a Nomogram model that can accurately predict early death of metastatic colon cancer (mCC). Methods A total of 6 669 patients from the SEER database were identified using inclusion and exclusion criteria. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify risk factors for early mortality and to construct a Nomogram. The predictive performance of the Nomogram was evaluated by C-index, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results Primary tumor location, differentiation grade, T stage, M stage, bone metastases, brain metastases, CEA, tumor size, age and marital status were independent factors for early death in patients with mCC. A Nomogram was constructed based on these variables. The C-index and the calibration curve of the Nomogram showed the good predictive ability of the nomogram. DCA showed that the Nomogram had a superior clinical net benefit in predicting early death compared with TNM stage. Conclusion The developed Nomogram has good predictive ability and can help guide clinicians to identify patients with high-risk mCC for individualized diagnosis and treatment.

Non-epithelial ovarian malignant tumors account for about 10% of ovarian tumors,and mostly develops in young women.Although surgery and radiotherapy and chemotherapy can make patients get the chances of survival,but often lead to different degrees of damage to reproductive function,causing physical and psychological suffering.While improving the survival rate of patients with malignant ovarian tumors,it is an important research issue to protect the reproductive function of patients as much as possible in the treatment of malignant ovarian tumors.The fertilitysparing treatment has a good effect on non-epithelial ovarian malignant tumors,especially malignant ovarian germ tumors.In this article,we discuss the surgical treatment of fertility protection,the implementation of postoperative adjuvant treatment and the application of assisted reproductive technology in non-epithelial ovarian malignant tumors.

Objective: To investigate the effects of cancer susceptibility candidate gene 19 (CASC19) regulating the expression of microRNA-449b-5p (miR-449b-5p) on the proliferation, apoptosis and radiation sensitivity of cervical cancer cells. Methods: (1) HeLa cells of cervical cancer cell line were cultured. HeLa cells were irradiated with X-ray at different doses (0, 2, 4, 6, 8 Gy, respectively), then the expression level of CASC19 mRNA and miR-449b-5p were detected by real-time quantitative PCR. (2) HeLa cell proliferation, apoptosis, radiation sensitivity (expressed as a survival fraction) and its related protein expression included cyclin D1, cleaved-caspase-3, and histone variant H2AX (γ-H2AX) were examined after different treatment including silencing CASC19 expression, over-expressing miR-449b-5p, down-regulating miR-449b-5p and silencing CASC19 expression. (3) The dual luciferase reporter gene experiment and real-time quantitative PCR technology were used to verify the targeting relationship between CASC19 and miR-449b-5p. Results: (1) With the increase of X-ray irradiation different dose (0, 2, 4, 6, 8 Gy), the expression level of CASC19 mRNA in HeLa cells gradually increased (F=502.681, P=0.000), and the expression level of miR-449b-5p gradually decreased (F=202.936, P=0.000).(2) After silencing CASC19 expression or over-expressing miR-449b-5p, the survival rate of HeLa cells was significantly reduced (P<0.05), the apoptosis rate was significantly increased (P<0.05), the survival fraction was significantly reduced (P<0.05), the expression level of cyclin D1 protein was significantly reduced (P<0.05), and the expression levels of cleaved-caspase-3 and γ-H2AX protein were significantly increased (P<0.05). After down-regulating miR-449b-5p and silencing CASC19 expression, the survival rate of HeLa cells was significantly reduced (P<0.05), the apoptosis rate was significantly increased (P<0.05), the survival fraction was significantly reduced (P<0.05), the expression levels of cyclin D1 and γ-H2AX protein were significantly increased (P<0.05), and the expression level of cleaved-caspase-3 was significantly decreased (P<0.05). (3) Over expression of miR-449b-5p could significantly reduce the luciferase activity of CASC19 wild type (1.00±0.09 versus 0.37±0.05, P<0.01), but there were no significant effect on the luciferase activity of CASC19 mutant type (0.92±0.07 versus 0.94±0.05, P>0.05). After the expression of CASC19 was silenced, the expression level of miR-449b-5p in HeLa cells increased significantly (1.00±0.12 versus 4.84±0.49, P<0.05). After overexpression of CASC19, the expression level of miR-449b-5p in HeLa cells was significantly reduced (1.00±0.09 versus 0.38±0.04, P<0.05). Conclusion CASC19 in HeLa cells negatively regulates the expression of miR-449b-5p, and down-regulating the expression of miR-449b-5p could partially reverse the effects of silencing CASC19 on HeLa cell proliferation, apoptosis and radiation sensitivity.

OBJECTIVE To establish two-dimensional liquid chromatography method for the determination of imipenem blood concentration and apply it in clinical practice. METHODS The method for the determination of imipenem blood concentration was established based on automatic two-dimensional liquid chromatography. The targets were extracted by 1-dimensional column Aston SNCB （50 mm ×4.6 mm， 5 μm） and further separated and determined by 2-dimensional column Aston SCB （250 mm×4.6 mm， 5 μm）. The 1-dimensional mobile phase was imipenem-1D mobile phase [acetonitrile-methanol-water （15∶10∶75， V/V/V）] with a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min； 2-dimensional mobile phase was 72%OPI-1 organic mobile phase （chromatographic grade methanol）-20% BPI-1 alkaline mobile phase [water （containing 20.0 mmol/L ammonium phosphate， pH adjusted to 7.2 with triethylamine）]-8%API-1 acidic mobile phase [water （containing 20.0 mmol/L ammonium phosphate， pH adjusted to 3.0 with phosphoric acid）] with a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min； the column temperature was 40 ℃， UV detection wavelength was 310 nm and injection volume was 100 μL. Elution procedure： 1-dimensional column consisted of imipenem-1D mobile phase with eluting for 0-3.40 min； 2-dimensional column consisted of 72% OPI-1 organic mobile phase-20%BPI-1 alkaline mobile phase-8%API-1 acidic mobile phase with eluting for 3.40-11.00 min. RESULTS The linear range of imipenem was 0.171-18.570 μg/mL （R 2＝0.999 9） with the lower limit of quantification for 0.171 μg/mL； the recovery rate ranged from 93.47% to 106.16%（ n＝5） and the RSDs of both intra-day and inter- day precision were below 15% （n＝5）. The minimum concentration of imipenem in 51 patients ranged from 0 to 19.57 μg/mL. CONCLUSIONS The established method is simple and fast with the large scale of sample， and can be used for the imipenem blood concentration monitoring in patients with severe infection.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of acupuncture combined with conventional symptomatic and supportive treatments on swallowing function and nutritional status in children with severe hand foot and mouth disease complicated with dysphagia. METHODS: A total of 68 children with severe hand foot and mouth disease complicated with dysphagia were randomized into an observation group and a control group, 34 cases in each one. Symptomatic and supportive treatments such as lowering temperature, tranquilizing and mechanical ventilation were adopted in the control group. On the basis of the treatments in the control group, acupuncture was applied at Lianquan (CV 23), Jialianquan (Extra), cervical Jiaji (EX-B 2), Fengfu (GV 16), Fengchi (GB 20), Yamen (GV 15), scalp motor and sensory areas in the observation group, once a day, 6 times a week, one month as a course and totally 3 courses were required. Time spent on restoring swallowing function was observed in both groups. Besides, score of dysphagia disorder survey (DDS) and nutritional status were evaluated before and after treatment, and the clinical effects were compared. RESULTS: The total effective rate was 91.2% (31/34) in the observation group, which was superior to 73.5% (25/34) in the control group (<0.05). The time of restoring swallowing function in the observation group was advanced than the control group (<0.05). Compared before treatment, the DDS scores after treatment were decreased in both groups, and the reduction in the observation group was larger than the control group (all <0.05). After the treatment, the normal rate of nutritional status was 61.8% (21/34) in the observation group, which was superior to 32.4% (11/34) in the control group (<0.05). CONCLUSION On the basis of conventional treatment, acupuncture can effectively treat the severe hand foot and mouth disease complicated with dysphagia, improve the swallowing function and nutritional status.
