Objective To explore the effect of different method in preventing broncho-pulmonary dysplasia(BPD) in very low birth weight infants(VLBWI) during mechanical ventilation.Methods The gestational age of 71 infants with VLBWI was (30?2) weeks and the average weight was (1235.2?160.6)g.The infants were randomly divided into three groups,they received different therapeutic regimens during mechanical ventilation:32 cases were treated with permissive hypercapnia(PHC) ventilation in group Ⅰ;20 cases were treated by intratracheal instillation of pulmonary surfactant(PS) in group Ⅱ;19 cases were treated by inhalation of becotide(beclomethasone dipropionate,BDP) in group Ⅲ.The ventilator settings,blood gas analysis,clinical symptoms and therapeutic effect were statistically analyzed and compared.Results The peak inspiratory pressure(PIP) and ventilation rate(VR) of ventilator parameter were (18.3?1.6)cmH_2O and (35?5)bpm in group Ⅰ,there was significantly lower than that in group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ(P0.05).The incidence of BPD was 16%(5/32) in group Ⅰ,5%(1/20) in group Ⅱ and 5%(1/19) in group Ⅲ;The mortality rate of PHC group(group Ⅰ) was 6%(2/32) and 5%(1/20) in group Ⅱ.Conclusion The application of permissive hypercapnia,intracheal instillation of pumlonary surfactant and inhalation of becotide all can prevent effectively the occurrence of severe broncho-pulmonary dysplasia in VLBWI during mechanical ventilation.

To explore the effect of Kudiezi injection on renal function in the real world, in order to provide the basis for the clinical medication safety. Patient aged between 18-80 were selected from 18 large hospitals information system (HIS) databases established by clinical research institute for basic traditional Chinese medicine of China academy of Chinese medical sciences. The patients who were treated with Kudiezi injection (24 225 cases) were defined as the exposed group, whereas those who were not treated with Kudiezi injection (14,191 cases) were defined as the non-exposed group. The propensity score method was used to balance the confounding factors. Classic logistic regression, GBM weighted propensity score logistic regression, GBM propensity score weighted logistic regression with covariate and sensitivity analysis were adopted to study the effect of Kudiezi injection on renal function. The results showed no significant difference in the possibility in abnormality in serum creatinine (Scr) (P = 0.940, 0.679, 0.834) and urea nitrogen (BUN) (P = 0, 0.045, 0.164) between both groups. Therefore, the existing data indicated no damage of Kudiezi injection on renal function. Because this study is a retrospective study based on the real world, there may be unknown confounding factors and potential bias. Therefore, further studies shall be conducted to monitor whether Kudiezi injection causes damage on renal function, in order to ensure the clinical medication safety.

In order to summarize and perfect the basic skill practicing method in acupuncture teaching and form a characteristic teaching, the research on skill training and technique improving of acupuncture and tuina major was carried out. The undergraduate students in acupuncture and tuina major from College of Acupuncture-Moxibustion and Tuina were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. Students from both groups received the basic courses of acupuncture-moxibustion and tuina as requested in the syllabus and the special teaching was added to the experimental group, namely "three practice" (strength practice, coordination practice, targeted practice of acupuncture basic skills) and "three enlightenment" (technique enlightenment, mind and qi enlightenment, efficacy enlightenment). During and after the courses, the teaching effectiveness was evaluated on the basis of needling manipulation. The peacetime score in the experimental group was superior to that in the control group (38.03 +/- 1.14 vs 33.25 +/- 1.31, P < 0.05), the total score in the experimental group was superior to that in the control group (84.03 +/- 6.30 vs 78.05 +/- 6.55, P < 0.05). The special teaching method of "three practice" and "three enlightenment" can improve the effect of skill training teaching method. It highlights the unique feature of central plains by integrating the essence of Shaolin internal qigong and Chen-style Taiji, it can also provide new ideas for the practical teaching of TCM professional courses and the construction of characteristic professionals.
