Objective To study the clinical effect of massage therapy on infants and young children with asthmatic disease.Methods 100 infants and young children with asthmatic disease were selected.The children and parents who agreed to cooperate with massage therapy were enrolled as treatment group.The children and parents who were unwilling to cooperate with massage therapy,but willing to cooperate with home aerosol therapy were enrolled as control group,50 cases in each group.The two groups of children took comprehensive treatment measures,the treatment group was given massage therapy,the control group was given home aerosol therapy.The therapeutic effects of the two groups were compared and analyzed.Results The respite time,recurrent frequency of wheezing within 1 year,respiratory infection occurred within 1 year,number of re-hospitalization within 1 year of the control group were (5.6 ± 1.36) d,(2.35 ± 1.13) times,(2.96 ± 1.22) times,(0.85 ± 0.58) times,which of the treatment group were (5.82 ± 1.44) d,(2.31 ± 1.09) times,(2.89 ± 1.19) times,(0.86 ± 0.51) times,the differences were not statistically significant between the two groups (t=0.573,0.417,0.523,0.872,all P >0.05).The peak time before treatment,1 month after treatment and 6 months after treatment,and the peak volume ratio before treatment,1 month after treatment and 6 months after treatment between the two groups had no statistically significant differences(all P > 0.05).Conclusion Massage therapy can achieve the same effect with the home aerosol therapy,the method is simple,easy,without any adverse reactions,it is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective:To study the effectiveness of noninvasive embryo chromosome screening (NICS) based on blastocyst culture medium and cystic fluid in preimplantation genetic detection (PGT) of embryos in different age groups.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 62 couples who underwent PGT assisted pregnancy in Shenzhen Hospital of Peking University from January 2019 to June 2021. A total of 310 blastocysts were biopsied. At the same time, D3-6 blastocyst culture medium and blastocyst cavity fluid were collected for NICS. According to the age of the patients, they were divided into three groups: <35 years old group, 35≤age<40 years old group and ≥40 years old group. The results of NICS were compared with those of embryonic trophoblast (TE) biopsy in each group, and the consistency, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated. Then the consistency, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of NICS and TE among the three age groups were statistically analyzed.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the consistency rate of NICS and TE among the three age groups ( P>0.05), but there was an upward trend in the elderly group (35≤age<40 years and ≥40 years). There was no statistically significant difference in specificity, sensitivity and PPV among the three age groups ( P>0.05). There was significant difference in NPV between the ≥40 years group and the other two groups ( P<0.05). Conclusions:There was no statistical difference in the effectiveness of NICS among different age groups, However, there was an increasing trend in people ≥35 years of age.
