The Journal of Clinical Anesthesiology 2009;25(12):1020-1022
Objective To investigate the risks and anesthetic management of scar uterus undergoing cesarean section.MethodsOne hundred pregnant women(aged 24-43 years old)with scar uterus underwent cesarean section.Epidural anesthesia was used in 90 cases(group A)and general anesthesia in 10 cases(group B).The monitorings included ECG,BP,HR and SpO_2.CVP was measured in the high risk cases.The time from skin incision tO neonatal delivery(I-D).the time from uterine incision to delivery(U-D),and Apgar scores of neonates were recorded.Results Incomplete blockade was seen in 20 cases(22%).The I-D time was shorter in group B than that in group A[(7.5±2.0)min vs.(12.3±2.6)min](P<0.01).Intraoperative hypotension occurred in 32 cases (32%).Neonatal asphyxia happened in 21 cases(21%).Apgar scores of 11 neonatals werc less than 3,of whom 5 neonates died.Apgar scores were 4 to 7 in 10 cases,8 to 10 in 79 cases.Subtotal uterectomy was performed in 2 cases.Repair of injuried bladder had to be done in one case.Intraoperative huge bleeding took place in 15 cases.Conclusion The scar uterus undergoing cesarean section has a high risk for mothers and neonates.The incidence of incomplete epidural blockade is higher.Effectively preventing and managing the risk factors are the keys for reducing maternal and neonatal complications and mortality.
3.Advances in arrested late lung development and bronchopulmonary dysplasia
International Journal of Pediatrics 2015;42(6):615-618
The process of late lung development is disturbed in bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).One of the keys in late lung development is secondary septation, in which secondary septa arise from primary septa, producing plenty of small alveoli, which significantly increase the surface area of gas exchange.Secondary septation,together with architectural changes to the vascular structure of the lung which minimize the distance between the blood and the inspired air, are the targets of late lung development.BPD is a disease of premature infants in which development of the alveoli is stunted caused by many factors including volutrauma,inflammation,and oxygen toxicity.Compared with early lung development, the later development of the immature lung remains unclear.This paper is to emphasize remarkable latest research of arrested late lung development and BPD.

Immune checkpoint is one of the most effective research targets for tumor immunotherapy. Immune checkpoint inhibitors, mainly programmed death receptor 1 and its ligand 1, have achieved good response rates in various tumor treatments, but some tumors still have low response rates. In recent years, bispecific antibodies have developed rapidly in the field of tumor research, because they can target multiple targets and play a combined role in tumor therapy, and can effectively inhibit tumor immune escape. This article reviews the research progress and clinical status of bispecific antibodies targeting immune checkpoints.

Objective To study the influence of health behavior intervention on coping style and hope level in lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Methods 60 lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy were divided into the intervention group and the control group with 30 patients in each group. Two groups all had an operation, carried on the normal nursing care and health education. After operation, the intervention group accepted health behavior intervention from the beginning of the first period chemotherapy. After the third period chemotherapy, coping style and hope level of the two groups were measured. Results After intervention, positive coping style "confrontation" had a higher score. Negative coping style such as obviation and acception got lower scores in the intervention group compared with the control group. In addition to "keep an intimate relation(I)",the rest dimensions of hope level showed significant differences as well. Conclusions Applying the related theories of health behavior to build up mental nursing intervention mode has a significant meaning on lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. It can increase patients' positive coping style and reduce negative aspects. At the same time, hope levels of lung cancer patients also have an improvement.
