Objective To investigate the clinical,safety and cost effect of porcine pulmonary surfactant (import)and bovine pulmonary surfactant(domestic)with full dose and low dosage of early treatment for late preterm children with respiratory distress syndrome,for the clinical selection treatment programs provide a reference.Methods Late preterm children with respiratory distress syndrome were divided into full dose group A of 24 cases,low dose group A of 25 cases,full dose group B of 26 cases,low dose group B of 24 cases.The first dose of full dose group A was 200mg/kg,the first dose of low dosage group A was 100mg/kg,again administered doses was 100mg/kg,the first dose of full dose group B was 70mg/kg,the first dose of low dosage group B was 50mg/kg,again administered dose was 50mg/kg.Results The differences of PaO2 ,PaCO2 ,FiO2 ,OI between two low dosage groups and full dose group A were significantly different.Treated 6h,the differences of PaCO2 ,FiO2 between low dosage group B and full dose group A were significantly different(q =3.273,3.236,all P <0.05).A group of low volume with a sufficient amount PaO2 6 h B group differences were statistically significant(q =3.823,P <0.05),12h of PaO2 ,PaCO2 ,FiO2 ,OI with enough B group difference was statistically significant(q =3.293,3.923,3.423,3.434,all P <0.05),24h of FiO2 , OI group was significantly lower than the full amount of B(q =3.234,3.356,all P <0.05).Low dose group B 6h, 12h,24h of PaO2 was significantly lower than enough group B,6h,12h of PaCO2 were significantly higher than enough group B(q =3.892,3.922,3.583,all P <0.05),12h,24h of FiO2 ,OI group were significantly higher than a suffi cient amount B(12h of q =3.892,3.762,24h of q =3.819,3.678,P <0.05),24h of OI was significantly higher than the low amount of a group(q =3.784,P <0.05).Chest evaluation 12h,24h grade difference between groups was sta-tistically significant(Z =3.982,5.323,all P <0.05).Two low -volume set of ventilator -associated pneumonia rates were 16.00%,16.67%,significantly higher than the amount of the two -legged group(low dose group A χ2 =4.988, 5.023,low dose group B χ2 =5.102,5.234,all P <0.05).Conclusion Porcine pulmonary surfactant(import)and bovine pulmonary surfactant(domestic)full dose early treatment of late preterm children with respiratory distress syn-drome could significantly relieve pulmonary symptoms and signs,effects are better than low dosage,and has high secu-rity,low dosage treatment does not reduce the cost of treatment,bovine pulmonary surfactant therapy administered in an amount sufficient lower cost,select the appropriate treatment plan based on your specific needs.

BACKGROUND:Valvular interstitial cel s are the main components of the heart valves. Myofibroblasts, as a kind of valvular interstitial cel s, can express alpha-smooth muscle actin and type I col agen fiber, and hold differentiation potential. These cel s cannot only play a support role in the valve structure, but also play a regulatory role in the process of the valve normal physiological and pathological responses.
OBJECTIVE:To obtain a reliable method of separation, primary culture and identification of myofibroblasts laying a foundation for further study on the cardiac valvular calcification.
METHODS:Aortic valve myofibroblas extracted from porcine hearts were primary cultured by trypsin and col agenase combined digestive method, common enzyme-digestion method and tissue-culture method, respectively. The myofibroblast activity and morphology were observed using microscope, and myofibroblasts were identified using light microscope and immunocytochemistrial method.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Myofibroblasts had a higher activity and purity cultured by trypsin combined with col agenase II digestion method. Aortic valve myofibroblasts were positive for alpha-smooth muscle actin and negative for von Wil ebrand factor under fluorescence microscope, suggesting that myofibroblasts were successful y obtained.

Objective To investigate the effect of rhubarb and ephedra prescription on the pulmonary function and blood pressure circadian rhythm in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD).Methods One hundred and enghty six patients with AECOPD admitted to Department of Integrated Medicine of Harrison International Peace Hospital from December 2013 to Auguest 2016 were enrolled, and they were divided into a control group 90 cases and an experimental group 96 cases by random number talbe method. The patients in control group were treated with conventional therapy, while those in the experimental group were treated with the conventional therapy and additionally rhubarb and ephedra prescription (including rhubarb 6 g, ephedra 5 g, agrimony 15 g, licorice 15 g), taken orally 2 times a day, the therapeutic course in the two groups being 2 weeks. The diference of blood gas analysis, pulmonary function indexes, dyspnea score (mMRC) and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring were compared before and after treatment in the two groups.Results Compared with before treatment, the pH value, arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), forced vital capacity (FVC), one second forced expiratory volume (FEV1), FEV1/FVC of the two groups were significantly increased after treatment, while the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) and mMRC score were significantly lowered, and the changes in the experimental group were more significant than those in the control group [pH: 7.40±0.04 vs. 7.37±0.03, PaO2 (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 81.09±12.54 vs. 76.27±12.20, PaCO2 (mmHg): 48.01±8.27 vs. 51.91±8.37, FVC (L): 2.37±0.39 vs. 2.13±0.45, FEV1 (L): 2.08±0.38 vs. 1.87±0.41, FEV1/FVC: (69.01±12.04)% vs. (64.02±11.81)%, mMRC: 2.02±0.76 vs. 2.40±0.87, allP < 0.05 orP < 0.01]. Based on the percentage of blood pressure circadian value difference, the blood pressure circadian rhythm was divided into dipper type, non dipper type, super dipper type and anti dipper type, 24.2% patients were of dipper type and 75.8% patients were of non dipper, super dipper and anti dipper types. There was no significant difference in daytime systolic blood pressure (dSBP) between patients with super dipper and dipper types (P > 0.05),and the dSBP (mmHg) in patients with non dipper type was significantly higher than that in patients with dipper, super dipper and anti dipper types (131.55±5.08 vs. 117.78±4.47, 118.26±4.24, 113.37±3.97, allP < 0.05); the daytime diastolic blood pressure [dDBP (mmHg)] of anti dipper, non dipper type, dipper type, super dipper type increased in turn (respectively, 63.27±2.80, 70.24±3.82, 73.98±2.61, 82.96±4.52, allP < 0.05); the night SBP (nSBP) of anti dipper type was the highest (127.38±4.98) mmHg, and the nSBP of super dipper type was the lowest (89.07±3.81) mmHg; the night DBP (nDBP) of dipper type was lower than that of non dipper, anti dipper and super dipper types (mmHg: 63.57±1.37 vs. 68.86±2.12, 67.15±1.56, 67.89±2.04, allP < 0.05). After treatment, the proportion of patients with dipper type [66.7% (64/96) vs. 54.4% (49/90)], no dipper type [11.5% (11/96) vs. 8.9% (8/90)], and super dipper type [5.2% (5/96) vs. 2.2% (2/90)] in experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group, the proportion of patients with anti dipper type [16.7% (16/96) vs. 34.4% (31/90)] in experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (allP< 0.05).Conclusion The Rhubarb and ephedra prescription can obviously improve the blood gas analysis indexes, pulmonary function and blood pressure rhythm in patients with AECOPD.

One 51 years old man was admitted to the rheumatology department with a history of prominent eyes, headache and blurred vision for half year. The main manifestations included retrobulbar inflammatory pseudotumor and retroperitoneal fibrosis. He was initially diagnosed as granulomatosis with polyangiitis. Prednisone and cyclophosphamide were administrated and effective. New mass of dura mater and osteosclerosis presented during follow up. Finally Erdheim Chester disease(ECD) was diagnosed by biopsy and pathological examination. Vemurafenib, a v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogenes homolog B1 (BRAF) inhibitor, 480 mg was given twice a day. The patient′s condition is stable and still in follow-up. Although ECD is a rare histiocytosis, clinicians should pay attention to its manifestations and differential diagnoses.

Objective Mesenteric panniculitis is an idiopathic , uncommon disease involving the adipose tissue of mesentery .The etiology , diagnosis and treatment are still unnoticed .We thus reported a case series to improve the understanding of this rare disorder .Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 12 patients with mesenteric panniculitis including manifestation , diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.Results We found a male predominance (M∶F 3∶1) with the median age of 58 years old at diagnosis.The most common symptom was abdominal pain (9/12), followed by abdominal distension (3/12) and weight loss (3/12).Physical examination was unremarkable in the majority of patients (8/12).C reactive protein (9/12) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (10/12) were normal in majority of patients.CT findings were of much diagnostic value .All patients had small intestinal mesentery involvement and multi-nodular appearance with increased fat density .Pseudo-capsule sign ( 8/12 ) and fat halo sign (6/12) were common.Pathological diagnosis was obtained in 4 cases showing fat tissue inflammation with local necrosis and fibrosis .Six cases all received prednisone , 2 with combined cyclophosphamide , 1 with azathioprine, 1 with tripterygium wilfordii .Short-term clinical response was achieved in all cases , but two patients relapsed .Conclusions Mesenteric panniculitis occurs predominantly in middle-aged and elderly . Abdominal pain is the leading symptom .Inflammatory markers are often normal while computed tomography is the most important diagnostic tool .Surgery combined with cortical steroid and immunosuppressant agents is effective.

Objective:To investigate the level of suicide ideation of female nurses in the public grade A hospitals of Fujian Province, and to explore the influence of impulsive personality and social support on the suicidal ideation of nurses.Methods:A total of 1 000 female nurses from a number of public grade A hospitals in Fujian Province were investigated by convenient sampling method from March to October 2019, using Barratt impulsive personality scale, social support scale and suicide ideation scale were used for the survey.Results:The prevenlence of suicidal ideation was 9.74%. Social support was negatively correlated with impulsive personality and suicidal ideation, and impulsive personality was positively correlated with suicidal ideation ( r=-0.329, -0.449, 0.291, P<0.01). The social support had an indirect mediating effect on the influence of impulsive personality on suicidal ideation. Conclusions:Nursing managers can promote the level of social support of nurses and reduce the intensity of suicidal ideation.

Objective To investigate the effect of Chinese rhubarb and ephedra prescription on the pulmonary function and blood pressure rhythm in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in remission stage. Methods One hundred and fifty-two patients with COPD were admitted to Harrison International Peace Hospital from March 2014 to December 2016, and they were divided into a western medicine control group (72 cases) and a rhubarb and ephedra prescription group (80 cases) by random number table method, the conventional therapy was given to both groups, and in the rhubarb and ephedra group, additionally Chinese rhubarb and ephedra prescription (rhubarb 6 g, ephedra 5 g, agrimony 15 g, licorice 15 g) was applied, one dose orally taken daily, once 1/2 dose, 2 times a day, the therapeutic course being 3 months. The blood gas analysis, pulmonary function, 6-minute walking distance (6MWD) were detected, and modify medical research committee (mMRC) questionnaire for dyspnea score, the change of ambulatory blood pressure level monitoring and clinical effect were observed before and after treatment for 1, 2, 3 months. Results Compared with those before treatment, the blood gas indexes, the arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), arterial blood oxygen saturation (SaO2), and pulmonary function indexes, the percentage of one second forced expiratory volume (FEV1) in predictive value (FEV1%), the ratio of FEV1/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) and 6MWD levels in both groups were continuously increased after treatment, while the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) and mMRC score were persistently decreased after treatment in the two groups. After treatment for 2 months, compared with before treatment, the statistical differences appeared in the western medicine control group, while in the rhubarb and ephedra group, the statistical differences turned up after 1 month of treatment. After 3 months of treatment,the PaO2, SaO2, FEV1%, FEV1/FVC and 6MWD in the rhubarb and ephedra group were significantly higher than those in the western medicine control group [PaO2(mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 95.42±14.88 vs. 88.28±13.38, SaO2:0.97±0.02 vs. 0.96±0.02, FEV1%: 77.35±11.57 vs. 72.63±10.66, FEV1/FVC (%): 71.01±9.47 vs. 69.28±10.04, 6MWD (m): 318.0±40.1 vs. 306.6±35.7], PaCO2and mMRC were obviously lower in the rhubarb and ephedra group than those in the western medicine control group [PaCO2(mmHg): 40.35±7.58 vs. 43.57±7.85, mMRC score: 1.09±0.65 vs. 1.23±0.69], the differences of the two groups were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). After 3 months of treatment, in the western medicine control group, the percentage of patients with abnormal blood pressure rhythm was reduced to 44.4% (32/72), while in the rhubarb and ephedra group, was decreased to 32.5% (26/72), and the decrease amplitude of the rhubarb and ephedra group was greater than that of the western medicine control group (P > 0.05). The ratio of blood pressure morning peak in the rhubarb and ephedra group was significantly lower than that in the western medicine control group [23.8% (19/80) vs. 31.9% (23/72), P < 0.05], and the total effective rate in rhubarb and ephedra group was significantly higher than that in the western medicine control group [92.5% (74/80) vs. 73.6% (53/72), P < 0.05]. Conclusion Chinese rhubarb and ephedra prescription can improve indexes of blood gas analysis, pulmonary function and blood pressure rhythm in COPD patients in remission phase, and its clinical efficacy is significant.

Objective:To study the safety and feasibility of early enteral feeding during therapeutic hypothermia guided by intestinal ultrasound in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE).Methods:From January 2019 to December 2021, neonates with HIE who received therapeutic hypothermia in the neonatology department of our hospital were retrospectively selected. They were assigned into the ultrasound-guided observation group (admitted from May 2020 to December 2021) and the control group (admitted from January 2019 to April 2020). In the ultrasound-guided observation group, intestinal ultrasound was performed during therapeutic hypothermia. Based on clinical manifestations and ultrasound results, a small amount of enteral feeding [20 ml/(kg·d)] was initiated and gradually increased to total enteral feeding after rewarming. In the control group, 5 ml (once every 3 h) of glucose and sodium chloride solution was given during 72 h of therapeutic hypothermia. After rewarming, enteral feeding was started and gradually increased to total enteral feeding without intestinal ultrasound. The time to start enteral feeding, the time to achieve total enteral feeding, the incidences of feeding intolerance, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and late-onset sepsis were compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 17 cases were in the ultrasound-guided observation group and 18 cases in the control group. The median time to start enteral feeding and to achieve total enteral feeding in the ultrasound-guided observation group were earlier than the control group [36.0 (33.5, 39.0) h vs. 77.0 (74.0, 79.3) h, 6.0 (5.5, 6.5) d vs. 8.0 (7.0, 9.0) d, P<0.001]. No significant difference existed in the incidence of feeding intolerance between the two groups. Neither groups had NEC or late-onset sepsis. Conclusions:Early enteral feeding during therapeutic hypothermia in neonates with HIE is safe and feasible. Intestinal ultrasound helps implementing feeding plan and achieving early total enteral feeding.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effects of propofol on the proliferation and invasion of glioma U87 cells and to explore the possible anti-tumor mechanisms. METHODS: The glioma U87 cells was divided into a blank group, a positive control group, and the propofol groups (1.00, 2.00 or 5.00 mmol/L). Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to detect cell proliferation; Transwell method was used to detect the effect of propofol on invasion and migration of U87 cells; real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of microRNA-134 (miR-134); Western blotting was used to detect the expression levels of reproduction-related protein Ki-67, invasion-related protein metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway-related protein. RESULTS: Compared with the blank group, the proliferation, invasion and migration capacity of U87 cells were reduced in the positive control group and the propofol groups after 48 hours (all CONCLUSIONS Propofol can decrease the proliferation rate, and the invasion and migration abilities of U87 cells, which may be achieved by up-regulation of miR-134 and suppression of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Objective: To investigate the effect of hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy (HDCP) on the mortality and early complications of premature infants. Methods: The general clinical data of preterm infants with gestational age 24-36^{+ 6} weeks were collected from the cooperative units in the task group from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2014.According to the severity of HDCP, the infants were divided into 4 groups: HDCP group, preeclampsia group, eclampsia group and non HDCP group, the mortality and major complications of preterm infants were compared, and the influencing factors were analyzed. Results: The mortality rate of preterm in the HDCP group was significantly higher than that of non HDCP group, and there was statistical significance (χ²=9.970, P=0.019). Eclampsia had a highest fatality rate (4.8%) in the early stage, compared with non HDCP group (2.2%), and the difference was statistically significant.Comparison of HDCP group (1.8%) and eclampsia group (3.2%) suggested that there was no statistically significant difference.The incidence of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in preterm in HDCP group was significantly higher than that of non HDCP group, and there was statistical significance (χ²=13.241, P=0.004). Eclampsia group showed the highest incidence (35.4%), compared with non HDCP group (16.2%), the difference was statistically significant, but compared with HDCP group (19.9%), preeclampsia group (17.1%), there was no significant diffe-rence.The incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm in HDCP group was significantly higher than that of non HDCP group (χ²=9.592, P=0.022), the highest incidence showed up in eclampsia group (9.7%), compared with non HDCP group (2.0%) and HDCP group (1.7%), the difference was statistically significant.But there was no statistically significant difference, compared with preeclampsia group.As the degree of HDCP aggravated, the incidence of BPD gradually rose.There was no significant impact on necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and sepsis of HDCP (χ²=7.054, 7.214, 0.358, 3.852; P=0.070, 0.065, 0.949, 0.278). Considering the overall outcome of the child, that was, whether the child died or survived, he had at least one complication, and HDCP had an effect on it (χ²=15.697, P=0.001), so the incidence increased while the degree of HDCP rose gradually.After adjusting gestational age, birth weight, sex, way of delivery, placental abruption and front placenta, prenatal hormonal, gestational diabetes, neonatal asphyxia and other factors, the results displayed that HDCP was the factor leading to the death of premature baby (OR=2.159, 95%CI: 1.093-4.266), and comparison between preeclampsia and eclampsia showed no statistical difference (P=0.714, 0.389); HDCP had no significant influence on RDS, BDP, ICH, NEC, ROP and sepsis. Conclusions HDCP leads to increased risk of premature death, but also leads to the increased incidence of RDS and BPD, but it had no obvious effect on NEC, ROP, IVH, sepsis and other complications.
