Objective To investigate the effect of nCPAP as pre-emptive ventilatory support strategy in severe bronchiolitis. Methods A retrospective analysis was made on cases with nCPAP as pre-emptive ventilatory support strategy for severe bronchiolitis in PICU of our hospital from August 2012 to September 2014. Results Seventy-nine children received nCPAP therapy in our PICU. Overall, nCPAP was successful performed in 69 children, 10 patients required intubations. PaO2 and PaO2/FiO2 in patients received intubations were lower than those in patients received only nCPAP before treatment (P < 0.05). There were significant improvements in PaCO2, PaO2, PaO2/FiO2, respiratory rate and heart rate in the patients received only nCPAP at 12 hours and 24 hours post-treatment (P < 0.05). For the 69 patients with hypercapnia received only nCPAP, PaCO2 was significantly reduced at 2 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours post-treatment (P < 0.01). Conclusion Clinically, nCPAP could improve the oxygenation and hypercapnia of patients with severe bronchiolitis. However, these patients, who suffered from severe bronchiolitis with minor PaO2 or PaO2/FiO2, appeared to require intubation as soon as possible.

OBJECTIVETo improve the method of indirubin in serum by HPLC and apply to pharmacokinetics in rats.
METHODChromatographic separation was conducted on an C18 column (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 microm), using a mixture of methanol-water (75:25) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min(-1) with UV detection at 289 nm, the column temperature was at 35 degrees C and ethinyl estradiol was used as an internal standard. Rats were administered i. v. bolus of indirubin in doses of 2.0 and 4.0 mg x kg(-1) through a jugular vein catheter, respectively. Serial blood samples (about 100 microL) were individually collected at 2, 5, 10, 20, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 min after administration, and the concentrations of indirubin determined were in rat serum by HPLC. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated with the Winnonlin 5.0 software.
RESULTThe calibration curve for indirubin was linear ( R2 = 0.9996) in the range of 0.031-2.48 mg x L(-1) and the limit of detection (LOD) was 31 microg x L(-1). The average recovery of indirubin in rat serum was more than 98% and the relative standard deviations of intra-day and inter-day were both less than 10%. The pharmacokinetics of Indirubin in rats was fitted to two-compartment model.
CONCLUSIONThe method is simple and accurate with a high sensitivity and a good repeatability, and it can be applied to the evaluation of pharmacokinetic parameters of indirubin in rats and blood concentration of indirubin in clinical controlling.
