Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics 2022;24(1):65-70
OBJECTIVES:
To study the feasibility of tracheal intubation for meconium suction immediately after birth of nonvigorous neonates born through meconium-stained amniotic fluid (MSAF).
METHODS:
A retrospective cohort study was performed on nonvigorous neonates born through MSAF who were admitted to the Department of Neonatology, Zhecheng People's Hospital. The neonates without meconium suction who were admitted from July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018 were enrolled as the control group. The neonates who underwent meconium suction from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019 were enrolled as the suction group. The two groups were compared in terms of the mortality rate and the incidence rates of neonatal meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS), persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn, pneumothorax, and pulmonary hemorrhage.
RESULTS:
There were 80 neonates in the control group and 71 in the suction group. There were no significant differences between the two groups in the incidence rates of MAS (11% vs 7%), persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (5% vs 4%), pneumothorax (3% vs 1%), and death (0% vs 1%). Compared with the control group, the suction group had a significantly lower proportion of neonates requiring oxygen inhalation (16% vs 33%, P<0.05), noninvasive respiratory support (25% vs 41%, P<0.05) or mechanical ventilation (10% vs 23%, P<0.05) and significantly shorter duration of noninvasive ventilation [(58±24) hours vs (83±41) hours, P<0.05] and length of hospital stay [6(4, 8) days vs 7(5, 10) days, P<0.05].
CONCLUSIONS
Although tracheal intubation for meconium suction immediately after birth may shorten the duration of respiratory support for mild respiratory problems, it cannot reduce the incidence rate of MAS, mortality rate, or the incidence rate of serious complications in nonvigorous infants born through MSAF.

AIM: To investigate the role of the insulin secretion as well as insulin sensitivity in the onset and development of the type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: This study included 38 normal glucose tolerance(NGT) subjects without family history of diabetes, 32 NGT and 36 impaired glucose tolerance(IGT) subjects who were the first-degree relatives of type 2 diabetes, and 35 newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients. ? cell function and insulin sensitivity were examined by using oral glucose-insulin release test (OG-IRT) with SIM reflecting insulin sensitivity and intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) with AIR3-5 reflecting the first-phase insulin secretion function. AIR3-5 was calculated as the average incremental plasma insulin concentration from the third to the fifth minute after the glucose bolus. AIR3-5 and SIM were compared among the four groups. RESULTS : From NGT, IGT to type 2 diabetes, there was a decreasing tendency of the level of AIR3-5 and SIM, with NGT the highest, IGT the medium and T2DM the lowest. The level of the AIR3-5 in the subjects of NGT who were first - degree relatives of type 2 diabetes were lower than those of NGT without family history of diabetes( P 0.05) . CONCLUSION: Insulin secretion dysfunction may be the primary factor in the onset of type 2 diabetes. Along with the developing of IGT and type 2 diabetes, the insulin secretion and sensitivity decrease.

OBJECTIVE To established a viable and convenient method for human nasoseptal chondrocyte culture in vitro and study the biological characters of the chondrocyte. METHODS The chondrocytes were obtained by incomplete enzyme digestion of cartilage and were seeded with small piece of cartilage in 25 ml culture flasks coated with polylysine previously. This study determines the biologic synthesis of the chondrocytes by toluidine blue and type Ⅱcollagen immunohistochemistry reaction. The proteoglycan synthesis efficiencies of human nasoseptal chondrocytes cultured in vitro were measured by using 35S-Na2SO4 incorporation. The modified method and the conventional method in proteoglycan synthesis were also compared. RESULTS The results suggested that human nasoseptal chondrocytes cultured by modified method still show the normal structure and morphology, and maintain the function of metabolism and self duplication. With the modified method, we can get a higher cell survival rate and more cells. CONCLUSION The modified method is a viable and convenient method.
