Objective To explore the mechanism and therapeutic effects of wet dressing with 50% magnesium sulfate ( MgSO4 ) as a part of comprehensive treatment for wound resulted from pit viper bites in children.Methods A total of 61 children with pit-viper-bitten wound enrolled from May 2009 through May 2011 were divided into two groups,namely the comprehensive treatment group (n =31 cases) and the conventional treatment group (n =30 eases). In the comprehensive treatment group,50% magnesium sulfate wet dressing applied to the swelling parts of body in the early stage in addition to the conventional treatment and topically bandaged once a day keeping wet with spraying saline on the top of dressing.Before the treatment and on the 1st day,the 3rd day and the 5th day of treatment,the values of myocardial enzyme and the circumference of swelling parts were recorded,and the differences were analyzed by t- test.The differences in rate of wound healing in one week between two groups were analyzed by chi-square test.Results Before the treatment,there was no statistical difference in clinical features between the two groups with different modes of treatment for the viper-bitten children (P > 0.05 ). During comprehensive treatment,the values of myocardial enzyme and the circumference of swelling parts decreased more markedly than those in conventional treatment group ( P < 0.05 ).The rates of wound healing in one week of two groups were 80.5% and 56.6% respectively.Conclusions The comprehensive treatment with adjuvant of 50% MgSO4 for the viper-bitten children can effectively reduce the tissue damage caused by venom,and the swelling as well,restoring function of body and shortening the time for wound healing and preventing complications.

Objective To investigate pulmonary function of tidal respiration in late premature infants with non-mechanical ventilation treatment at corrected gestational age of full term. Methods A total of 26 late premature infants with non-mechanical ventilation treatment at corrected gestational age of full term were collected from Qingdao Women and Children′s Hospital between April and December 2013,and saved as the late premature infant group. Also, a total of 31 full term infants with hyperbilirubinemia or neonatal ABO hemolytic disease were recruited and treated as the full term group. Then the parameters of pulmonary func-tion of tidal respiration were compared between the two groups. The late premature infant group was equally allocated into extrauterine growth retardation and non-extrauterine growth retardation groups according to the increase in weight and the ratio of time to peak tidal expiratory flow and total expiratory time(TPEF/TE) and the ratio of expiratory volume at peak tidal expiratory flow and total expiratory volume( VPEF/VE) were respectively compared in these two groups. Another correlation analysis between body weight and TPEF/TE was carried out in the non-extrauterine growth retardation group. Results (1)Gestational age difference had no significant significance between late premature infant group and full term group ( P <0. 05 ) . The body weight[(2. 39 ± 0. 44)kg vs. (3. 21 ± 0. 43) kg] and height[(46. 51 ± 3. 22) cm vs. (50. 16 ± 2. 14) cm] in late premature infant group were still lag behind that in full term group and the difference had significant significance(P<0. 05,respectively). (2)The comparison of parameters of pulmonary function of tidal respi-ration:the TPEF/TE [ ( 41. 74 ± 10. 94 )% vs. ( 48. 17 ± 11. 79 )%] , VPEF/VE [ ( 42. 66 ± 9. 66 )% vs. (48. 31 ± 9. 94)%],VPEF[(8. 02 ± 2. 85) ml vs. (10. 23 ± 3. 56) ml] and minute ventilation[(0. 76 ± 0. 23) L/min vs. (1. 00 ± 0. 44) L/min] in late premature infant group were significantly lower than those in full term group(P<0. 05,respectively). (3)The TPEF/TE and VPEF/VE all had significant significance in both late premature infant group and full term group(late premature infant group:r=0. 958,P=0. 000; full term group:r=0. 950,P=0. 000). (4)The TPEF/TE and VPEF/VE in non-extrauterine growth retardation group were closer to those in full term group. The TPEF/TE and VPEF/VE in extrauterine growth retardation group were lower than those in non-extrauterine growth retardation group(t= -2. 775,-2. 109,P=0. 011, 0. 047). Conclusion Airway(especially small airway) resistance of late preterm infant group is higher than that of term infants. Extrauterine growth retardation influences the airway(especially small airway) resist-ance.
