Objective To explore the clinical features and prevention measures of neonatal pneumonia complicated with pneumothorax.Methods Clinical data of 26 neonatal pneumonia patients complicated with pneumothorax were retrospectively analyzed.Results In 26 cases of neonatal pneumonia complicated with pneumothorax,16 cases(61.4％) were aspiration pneumonia,10 cases(38.5％) were infectious pneumonia.2 cases of not obvious mild cyanosis and dyspnea were given conservative treatment,24 cases were shortness of breath cyanosis,groan,face pale,difficulty in breathing,restlessness,irritability.Breath sounds were reduced or disappear,sound shift,cyanosis to oxygen can not be sustained remission.Blood oxygen saturation were lower grade.One side or both sides of the chest profile were apparent uplift with thoracic puncture exhaust or thoracic closed drainage.24 cases(92.5％) suffered from pneumothorax were cured.2 cases (7.7％) gave up the treatment,including 1 case died and 1 case loss prevention.Conclusion Pneumonia of newborn pneumothorax is secondary to inhalation of most inappropriate,infection,airway pressure,suction.Once found,timely treatment is important.Mild cyanosis can spontaneous remission,cyanosis having oxygen can not be sustained remission.The prognosis of it by thoracic puncture exhaust or closed thoracic drainage is good.Actively control influence during pregnancy,birth and postpartum.Preventing meconium inhalation can reduce the occurrence of neonatal pneumonia complicated with pneumothorax.

The LVdP/dtmax, LVSP, AP and Vmax of the rat hearts in vivo were increased by Sophoridine ( 2 mg/kg, given to rats iv ) by 19.5, 13.1, 14.8 and 28.2% respectively. Such a positive inotropic effect lasted for more than 5 min and was statistically significant. Adrenaline (0.16 ?g/kg, iv ) could also increase the LVdP/dtmax and Vmax of the heart obviously and this action was not stronger than Sri after uses of drugs except at 0.5 min and vanished more quickly. There was an increment of MVO2I because of the increased arterial pressure within 3 min after use of Sri, which was much less than adrenaline. The present results show Sri strengthened the cardial force for longer time and affected the arterial pressure and MVO2I less than adrenaline in the rat hearts in vivo.

AIM: Studying the mechanism of protective role of metallothionein (MT) in hypoxic preconditioning(HPC) of cultivated rat cardiomyocytes. METHODS: Using the model of hypoxia/reoxygenation of cultivated rat cardiomyocytes. Determing the contents of MT, malonyldialdehyde (MDA) - metabolism product of lipid peroxidation and the activities of Na+ - K+ ATPase, Ca2+ - Mg2+ ATPase of cardiomyocytes 24 h after HPC, the determining the relevant changes after using MT antibody. RESULTS: After 24 h in HPC, the contents of MT and activities of Na+ - K+ ATPase, Ca2+ - Mg2+ ATPase were obviously higher than those in the control and hypoxia/reoxygenation(P＜ 0. 05 ), and the contents of MDA were decreased remarkedly (P ＜ 0.01 ). Then after using MT antibody, the activities of two enzyme were progressively decreased and the contents of MDA were significanily higher than those in the control and MT antibody - free groups(P ＜ 0.01 ). CONCLUSION: HPC may induce excessive synthesis of MT, and MT can protect myocardial reoxygenation injury by eliminating lipid peroxidation and rising the activities of Na+ - K+ ATPase and Ca2+ - Mg2+ ATPase.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of muscle edema and fatty infiltration in thighs and relationship with clinical symptoms in Chinese patients with different phenotypes of dysferlinopathy.Methods A total of 32 patients were enrolled , including 13 limb-girdle muscular dystrophy 2B (LGMD2B), 13 Miyoshi myopathy (MM), 4 proximodistal myopathy and 2 hyper-creatine-kinase-emia.Clinical symptoms were evaluated using modified Gardner-Medwin and Walton ( GM-W) score.Muscle MRI was performed in thighs to observe fatty infiltration and edema.We then compared the age of onset , disease duration, GM-W score, muscle edema and muscle fatty infiltration between LGMD 2B and MM groups,and the relationship of muscle edema score and fatty infiltration score with disease duration and GM-W score in all patients.Results The median GM-W score was 4.00 (2.00,5.00) in all patients, 4.00 (3.00,4.50)in LGMD2B and 4.00(2.00,5.00)in MM, respectively.Muscle fatty infiltration appeared in 30 cases (93.75%), with the same pattern in LGMD2B and MM.The mean fatty infiltration score was 28.20 ±12.86 in all patients, 28.50 ±13.03 in LGMD2B and 29.00 ±12.63 in MM, respectively.Muscle edema appeared in 26 cases (81.25%) with same pattern in LGMB2B and MM.The mean edema score was 18.36 ±13.60 in all patients, 22.88 ±11.59 in LGMD2B and 16.77 ±13.80 in MM.The age of onset , disease duration, GM-W score, muscle fatty infiltration and edema score were not significantly different between LGMD2B and MM patients.Muscle fatty infiltration score significantly correlated with GM-W score (rs=0.737,P=0.000) and disease duration (rs=0.637,P=0.000).Conclusions Fatty infiltration and edema in thigh muscles are very common in patients with dysferlinopathy , with similar radiological changes in main subtypes.The muscle fatty infiltration can be used as a predictor of disease progression.

Objective: To understand health literacy and associated factors of freshmen from Jiangsu Province, and to provide reference for youth health education. Methods: From 2017 October to 2018 October, a total of 15 602 college freshman were randomly selected from 20 universities in Jiangsu Province via stratified cluster sampling method. Structural questionnaires were used to investigate the status of health literacy. The χ 2 test and multivariate Logistic regression model were used to analyze the influencing factors of health literacy. Results: The health literacy level of college freshmen from Jiangsu Province was 20.2%, among which the literacy levels of knowledge, behavior and skills were 23.0%, 30.7% and 31.5% respectively. The literacy levels of the six public health issues, including safety and first aid, scientific health attitude, knowledge of prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, health information, basic health care, and prevention and treatment of chronic diseases, from high to low, were 72.8%, 58.7%, 28.5%, 28.2%, 20.3% and 15.9%, respectively. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis has showed that students from undergraduate colleges(OR=2.77, 95%CI=2.47-3.11), urban areas(OR=1.20, 95%CI=1.07-1.34), or southern Jiangsu regions(OR=1.10, 95%CI=1.00-1.22), being the only child(OR=1.13, 95%CI=1.03-1.25), higher maternal education level (OR=1.53, 95%CI=1.30-1.79), having both parents(OR=1.16, 95%CI=1.00-1.34), reported higher level of health literacy. Conclusion The three aspects and six dimensions of health literacy of college freshmen were unbalanced. Health literacy is a shared function of multiple factors including society, family, and individuals. It is essential to promote health education through more efforts on key issues, in order to effectively elevate the health literacy level of adolescent students.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT)in the screening of coronary artery lesions in elderly patients with diabetes mellitus.Methods MSCT and coronary angiography(CAG)were performed in 136 elderly patients(68 patients with diabetes and 68 patients without diabetes).The number of diseased coronary segments and the plaque type (noncalcified,mixed and calcified)for each patient were determined.The characteristics of coronary lesions were compared between patients with and without diabetes.The sensitivity and specificity of MSCT were evaluated.Results More noncalcified and calcified plaques and few ermixed plaques were observed in patients with diabetes,compared with patients without diabetes(noncalcified plagues:10 cases or 14.7％ vs.4 cases or 5.9％;calcified plagues:47 cases or 69.1％ vs.39 cases or 57.4％)(P＜ 0.05).In addition,diabetic patients showed a significantly higher frequency of multivessel disease(P＜0.05).Furthermore,MSCT was able to clearly show stenosis and plaque type in the trunk and branches of the coronary artery,with a sensitivity of 91.0％,a specificity of 95.0％,a positive predictive value of 93％ and a negative predictive value of 96.0％.Conclusions Diabetes is associated with a higher risk of coronary artery disease.MSCT can effectively detect the characteristics of coronary artery disease in diabetic patients and is an effective,noninvasive,and safe screening method.

Objective To analyze the eye lens equivalent dose levels of doctors during interventional cardiology procedures and identify related influential factors. Methods Twenty interventional specialists were selected from a cardiovascular specialty hospital. The cumulative equivalent doses to their eye lens during operations were monitored, and equipment-related parameters (fluoroscopy time, dose area product value [DAP], and entrance skin dose[ESD]), operation types, and operators’ positions were recorded. Results The annual equivalent doses to the eye lens of seven doctors exceeded 20 mSv. There was a linear correlation between the weekly number of operations and the equivalent dose to the eye lens (R² = 0.457, P = 0.001). The mean eye lens equivalent dose per operation was 17.1 μSv, showing linear correlations with fluoroscopy time, DAP values, and ESD values (R² = 0.427, 0.206, and 0.237, respectively, P < 0.05). The fluoroscopy time, DAP value, ESD value, and eye lens equivalent dose during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were significantly higher than those during coronary angiography (t = −3.226, −3.108, −3.061, and −2.667, respectively, P < 0.03). Conclusion The annual equivalent doses to the eye lens are relatively high in interventional radiologists, some of whom may have values higher than the latest dose limit (20 mSv) suggested by the International Commission on Radiological Protection. Attention should be paid to operators performing PCI, and the workload optimization is necessary in practical operations to avoid unnecessary fluoroscopy time and reduce the eye lens doses of the operators.
