1.Intrauterine management of fetal arrhythmia
Chinese Journal of Perinatal Medicine 2021;24(4):241-244
Fetal arrythmia is a common cardiac abnormality, which can be categorized into three major types: extrasystoles, tachycardia and bradycardia. Most fetal arrythmias do no harm to the fetus, but few severe fetal arrythmia, including supraventricular tachycardia, atrial flutter and conduction block do, resulting in congestive heart dysfunction, hydrops fetalis and even intrauterine death. Therefore, timely intrauterine management may help to improve the fetal outcomes. This article reviews intrauterine treatment strategies for different types of fetal arrythmia.

OBJECTIVE To realize the present resistance characteristics of enterococci to common antimicrobial agents,and to provide reference for clinical therapy. METHODS A total of 79 isolates of enterococci were collected from samples during the period of 2000-2003.The broth microdilution test and ?-lactamase determination were performed for each of the strains.The laboratory data were analyzed. RESULTS The rates of Enterococcus faecalis and E.faecium were 73.4%,and 26.6% of all enterococci isolates.The most common sites of infection were urinary tract(35.4%),surgical secretion(24.1%),and sputum(15.2%).The rate of E.faecium approached 50% of enterococci in urinary tract.The antibiotic resistance of E.faecium was more than E.faecalis to ampicillin,penicillin,and rifampin.The ratio of HLAR enterococci and VRE to total enterococci isolates were 61.9% and 0;?-lactamase producing rate was 6.3%. CONCLUSIONS Urinary infection caused by enterococci is most frequent.E.faecium is found more easily in urinary tract than in the others and very resistant to antibiotics.Vancomycin shows fairly high activity against enterococci.The different regimens should be adopted for different enterococci.

Objective:To study the clinical significance of early detection of soluble growth stimulating gene 2 protein (sST2) and prealbumin (PAB) in patients with chronic pulmonary heart disease (CPHD) complicated with refractory heart failure.Methods:From September 2017 to June 2019, 112 CPHD patients complicated with refractory heart failure were admitted to Hengshui People's Hospital. The selected patients met the revised guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (2013 revision) and the cardiac function grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ according to the grading criteria of the New York Cardiology Society. Cardiogenic shock, severe liver and kidney dysfunction, malignant tumors, anemia, and autoimmune diseases were excluded. Patients were divided into the high PAB group (≥200 mg/L) and the low PAB group (<200 mg/L) according to the PAB level on admission. The pulmonary artery systolic blood pressure (PASP), pulmonary artery mean pressure (MPAP), and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were observed in the two groups before and after the treatment. PAB, total bilirubin (TBIL), hypersensitive C reactive protein (hs-CPR), N-terminal B type brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and sST2 levels were detected. Measurement data were expressed in terms of mean ± standard deviation, the counting data were compared using χ 2 test. Correlation analysis was conducted using Spearman correlation test. Results:There were 40 cases in the high PAB group and 72 cases in the low PAB group. There were no statistically significant differences in general data between the high PAB and low PAB groups ( P>0.05). Hospitalization time was significantly different between the two groups ( P<0.05). Before the treatment, there were no significant differences in PASP, MPAP, NT-proBNP and LVEF between the two groups ( P>0.05). High sST2 was significantly different between the two groups ( P<0.05). After the treatment, PASP, MPAP, NT-proBNP and sST2 were decreased in both groups, and the improvement was more obvious in the high PAB group than in the low PAB group, with statistical significance ( P<0.05). Before the treatment, the levels of TBIL and hs-CPR were not statistically different between the high PAB and low PAB groups ( P>0.05). However, the levels of TBIL and hs-CPR were beyond the normal range. After the treatment, TBIL and hs-CPR were decreased in both groups, and there was statistically significant difference between the two groups ( P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that PAB was negatively correlated with sST2 ( r=-0.778, P=0.001). There was a positive correlation between cardiac function and sST2 ( r=0.569, P=0.034), hospitalization time ( r=0.572, P=0.033) in patients with refractory heart failure. The higher the sST2 of CPHD with refractory heart failure, the longer the patient hospitalization time, and the more serious the heart failure was. The area under the combined ROC curve of PAB and sST2 was 0.756. CPHD patients with refractory heart failure had the greatest predictive value. Conclusion:The combined test of sST2 and PAB can evaluate the condition and outcome of CPHD patients with refractory heart failure, and guide the clinic.

Objective To evaluate pit pattern analysis for detection of early colorectal carcinoma and precancerous lesions. Methods A total of 162 lesions in 144 patients were examined with magnifying colonoscopy after staining, and their pit patter was analyzed with morphology and pathologic diagnosis. Results With confirmation of pathology, there were 34 non-neoplastic lesions and 128 neoplastic ones, in which 12 were carcinomas. The pit patterns in most non-neoplastic lesions (76. 5%, 26/34) were type Ⅰ or Ⅱ , and those in most neoplastic lesions (96. 1% , 123/128) was type Ⅲ, Ⅳ or Ⅴ. Pit patterns of cancerous lesions were mainly type Ⅴ (75.0%, 9/12), and those of 3 cases of advanced cancers were all type Ⅴ N. Conclusion Pit pattern classification is a very important tool to differentiate between neoplastic, nonneoplastic lesions and early cancer, which helps to decide later therapeutic intervention.

Objective To study the effects of mechanical strain on the proliferation of the human pulmonary epithelial cell and the redistribution of its membrane receptors, integrins ? 5 and ? 1. Methods A cyclic strain unit in vitro was designed. The cellular proliferative index was measured by flow cytometry and the redistribution of ? 5 and ? 1 integrins was analyzed in human pulmonary epithelial cell line H727 by laser confocal microscopy. Results The cellular proliferative index reduced significantly after cells were subjected to 15% elongation at frequencies of 20 cycles/min or 40 cycles/min for 24 h. In human pulmonary epithelial H727 cells, ? 5 and ? 1 integrins transferred from the apical layer to the basal layer and formed an adhesion plaque after 24 h exposure to 15% elongation at frequency of 40 cycles/min. Conclusion The results suggest that ? 5 and ? 1 integrins in pulmonary epithelial cells may play an important role in the transduction of mechanical stress.
