The hardship and differentiation degrees are important judgments about test questions.The key purpose about analyzing hardship and differentiation degrees is not only to keep the qualified test questions,eliminate the unqualified and refine the test questions,but also to accumulate valuable data to make exams more scientific,standardized and specified.

Objective:
To explore the effect and security of minimally invasive surfactant therapy (MIST) in treatment of preterm infants with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS).
Methods:
A total of 48 pretrm infants with gestational ages between 30-36 weeks diagnosed with NRDS in Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center from January 2017 to January 2018 were randomly divided into MIST group (23 cases) and intubation-surfactant-extubation+ continuous positive airway pressure ventilation (INSURE) group (25 cases) by adopting random number table method.The patients in MIST group were put on nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) and a thin vascular catheter was inserted through the vocal cords under direct vision with direct laryngoscope then infused pulmonary surfactant(PS) into the lung; the patients in INSURE group were endotracheally intubated and infused with PS into the lung through endotracheal tube with positive airway pressure, then extubated and put on nCPAP again.The incidences of adverse reactions and various complications related to the 2 groups were observed.
Results:
There were no significant differences between 2 groups in oxygen saturation decrease(26.1%

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of Xinfeng Capsule (XFC) on pulmonary function and related mechanism in adjuvant-induced arthritis (AA) rats.
METHODSThe rats were randomly divided into five groups: normal control (NC), model control (MC) groups, methotrexate (MTX), tripterygium glycosides tablet (TPT) and Xinfeng capsule (XFC) treatment groups. The adjuvant-induced arthritis model was established by intracutaneous injection of 0.1 mL Freund ' s complete adjuvant in the right paw of rats; the drugs were given 19 d after model establishment. The toe swelling degree (E), arthritis index (AI), pulmonary function, peripheral blood Treg levels, pathological changes of lung tissue and expression of Foxp3, TGF-β1, Smad3, Smad7 proteins in lung tissue were measured 30 d after drug administration.
RESULTSCompared to NC group, the levels of E, AI, alveolitis score, TGF-β1 and Smad3 were significantly increased (P <0.05 or P <0.01); maximum expiratory flow 25% of vital capacity (FEF25),50% maximal expiratory vital capacity flow (FEF50), maximum expiratory flow at 75% of vital capacity (FEF75), maximum mid-expiratory flow (MMF), force peak expiratory flow (PEF), CD4+ CD25+ Treg, Foxp3 and Smad7 were significantly decreased in MC group (P <0.05 or P < 0.01). Compared to MC group,the expression of E, AI, TGF-β1 and Smad3 were reduced, while FEF50, FEF75, MMF, PEF, Treg, Foxp3 and Smad7 were elevated in XFC group (P <0.05 or P <0.01). Compared to XFC group, the level of body mass,FEF25,FEF50, FEF75, MMF and Treg were lower in MTX and TPT groups (P <0.05 or P <0.01).
CONCLUSIONThere are inflamed joints and reduced pulmonary function in rats of adjuvant-induced arthritis. XFC can inhibit paw edema degrees, reduce arthritis response, and improve pulmonary function, which is associated with up-regulating expression of Treg and Foxp3, down-regulating the expression of TGF-β1 and adjusting TGF-β1/Smads signal pathway.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the efficacy and adverse effect of DCF regimen with subsequent S-1 maintenance chemotherapy in patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC).
METHODSSixty AGC patients without disease progression after 4 to 6 cycles of DCF regimen as the first-line chemotherapy were randomized into maintenance group and control group (30 patients each). The patients in the maintenance group received maintenance chemotherapy with S-1 (40 mg/m(2), twice daily for 14 days; 21 days for a treatment cycle) until disease progression or with intolerant toxicity, and those in the control group received optimal supportive care.
RESULTSThe response rate (CR+PR) was 33.3% in the maintenance group, significantly higher than that in the control group (3.33%, P<0.05), and the disease control rate (CR+PR+SD) also differed significantly between the two groups (73.3% vs 46.7%, P<0.05). The median time to progression was 7.9 months in the maintenance group and 6.8 months in the control group, with median overall survival time of 13.8 and 11.7 months, respectively (P>0.05). The most common adverse effect in the maintenance group included nausea, vomiting, leucocytopenia, and hand-foot syndrome; no death occurred in relation to the therapy.
CONCLUSIONS-1 maintenance chemotherapy, with a tolerable toxicity profile, can improve the RR, DCR and median time to progression in AGC patients who respond to DCF regimen, but its efficacy still awaits further evaluation.
