OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical effect of maternal voice stimulation in alleviating procedural pain in neonates during heel blood collection. METHODS: A total of 72 neonates who were admitted to the neonate intensive care unit were randomly divided into an intervention group (n=35) and a control group (n=37). Heel blood collection was performed by the routine method in the control group. The intervention group listened to their mothers' voice from 1 minute before heel blood collection to the end of the procedure. Pain score, incidence of crying, and vital signs were recorded before and after heel blood collection. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, the heart rate was significantly reduced, the blood oxygen saturation significantly increased, the incidence of crying and the pain score were significantly reduced in the intervention group during the procedure of heel blood collection (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Maternal voice stimulation helps to reduce procedural pain and maintain stable vital signs in neonates.

Population pharmacokinetics of vancomycin (VAN) in the Chinese patients was described by using nonlinear mixed-effects modeling (NONMEM). 619 VAN serum concentrations data from 260 patients including 177 males and 83 females were collected separately from two centers. A one-compartment model was used to describe this sparse data. No significant difference was observed between two center datasets by introducing SID covariate. The final model was as CL= (θ (base0+ θ(max) x(1 -e(-θ(Age)(Age/72) and V = θ x θ (Age)(Age/72). The creatinine clearance (CL(Cr)) and Age were identified as the most significant covariate in the final model. Typical values of clearance (CL) and volume of distribution (V) in the final model were 2.91 L x h(-1) and 54.76 L, respectively. Internal model validation by Bootstrap and NPDE were performed to evaluate the robustness and prediction of the final model. The median and 95% confidence intervals for the final model parameters were based on 1000 Bootstraps. External model evaluation was conducted using an independent dataset that consisted of 34 patients to predict model performance. Pharmacodynamic assessment for VAN by AUC (0-24 h) to MIC ratios of over 400 was considered to be the best to predict treatment outcomes for patients. AUC (0-24 h) was calculated by clearance based on the above population model. The results indicate that the conventional dosing regimen probably being suboptimal concentrations in aged patients. The approach via population pharmacokinetic of VAN combined with the relationship of MIC, Age, CL(Cr) and AUC(0-24 h)/MIC can predict the rational dose for attaining efficacy.

Objective To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of different HbA1C cutoff points for diabetes diagnosis in high risk outpatients in Harbin.Methods A total of 2 122 high risk outpatients(male 1 032 and female 1 090)for diabetes screening in the Fourth affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from April 2013 to February 2015 were included in this study, with the average age of(49.26±13.00)year. Oral glucose tolerance tests(OGTT)were conducted and HbA1C levels were examined in these patients. The sensitivity and specificity of different HbA1C cutoff points were calculated and a receiver operator characteristic(ROC)curve was then built.Results The average level of HbA1C in these subjects was(6.45±1.72)%. The prevalence of diabetes was 41.85%. The area under ROC curve(AUC)was 0.89 with the optimal cutoff point of HbA1C 6.0% and 0.68 for the highest Yonden index. The sensitivity and specificity of HbA1C 6.0% were 84.01% and 83.67% respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of HbA1C 6.5% were 62.84% and 95.92%, respectively. The AUC of HbA1C≥6.5% was 0.732. Conclusion HbA1C works well as the diagnostic standard for diabetes in high risk outpatients of Harbin city. The cutoff point of HbA1C 6.0% is suitable for screening diabetes in high risk population, and HbA1C 6.5% is appropriate for diabetes diagnosis, with high sensitivity and specificity.

AlM: To silent hypoxia inducible factor-1α ( HlF-1α) gene in malignant melanoma of the choroid cell by small interference RNA ( siRNA ) and investigate its effect on the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 ( MMP-2 ) in the choroid cell line human uveal melanoma cell (OCM-1) in hypoxia environment.METHODS:OCM-1 cells cultured on culture flask were divided into normal group and hypoxia group. Hypoxia group were divided into five groups: simple hypoxic group, and interference group, and negative control group, and positive control group, and liposome group. Normal group cells were cultured on DMEM culture flask with 10% FBS, 100U/mL penicillin, 100μg/mL streptomycin as well as high concentration of glucose. The cells were maintained at 37℃ in a humidified 5% CO2 incubator. Cells in good condition were selected for experiment. For hypoxia group, chemical hypoxia inducer CoCl2 was added into nutrient medium at the concentration of 100μmol/L to simulate hypoxia microenvironment. We designed and synthesised siRNA ( siRNA + negative control+positive control ) , the target sequences of the HlF-1α to transfect hypoxic malignant melanoma of the choroid cell. SiRNA including HlF-1α siRNA, β-actin siRNA and negative control group synthesized in vitro transfected hypoxic OCM - 1 cell through Lipofectamine2000. The expression of HlF-1α, MMP-2 gene and the protein were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with the normal group, the expression of HlF-1α mRNA was not obviously changed (P>0. 05), but the expression of HlF-1α protein and MMP- 2 mRNA protein was significantly higher ( P<0. 05) . Compared with the other hypoxia groups,β-actin mRNA expression of positive control group decreased ( P< 0. 05 ) , which proved successful transfection. The expression of HlF-1α mRNA and the expression of its protein and both MMP-2 mRNA and its protein was significantly lower ( P < 0. 05 ). The negative control group, liposome control group had no significant difference in the detection of factors (P>0. 05).CONCLUSlON: Hypoxia status may upregulate the HlF-1α in OCM-1 cells by increasing the expression of protein. Hypoxia can also inactivate MMP-2, resulting in upregulation of MMP-2 RNA and the expression of its protein. The expression of HlF-1α and MMP-2 mRNA can be down-upregulated by transfecting OCM-1 with HlF-1α siRNA.
