BACKGROUND: Traditionally, cranial perforate-rinse-dram operation and tube drainage were often used in the treatment of chronic subdural hematoma in the elderly, recently,instead of which oxygen-exchange therapy through dural puncture via cranium is more and more used.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the reliability and safety of the new operation-method using oxygen-exchange in treating the older people with chronic subdural hematoma in comparison with traditional cranial perforate-rinse-dram operation.DESIGN: Retrospective case analysis.SETTING: The Department of Neurosurgery, the Second Clinical College of China Medical University.PARTICIPANTS: Eleven male patients (meanly 62 years of age)who had undertaken oxygen-exchange therapy via skull without drain tube in the Department of Neurosurgery, Second Clinical College of China Medical College from January 1997 to December 2004 were enrolled in the study, with an average disease history of 1.5 months. Among them, 10 subjects suffered from head injury to different extent within 7 weeks on average. Main chief complaint was headache, and Unilateral limb asthenia above Ⅳ was found in 5 cases asking for medical service. As shown by CT and MRI, all the subjects were diagnosed as having chronic subdural hematoma located at supratentorium, 5 cases in the right side and 6 in the left side. Volume of hematom was calculated as the following formula: volume of hematom=length×width×number of layers (1 cm thick for one layer). And the range of volume was from 70 mL to 140 mL, and the average value was 105 mL. The hematom in all the cases was found to move to the midline to different extents.METHODS: Patients in lateral recumbent position were undertaken boring at the CT-located thickest area with bone awl of 0.4-0.5 cm under local anesthesia. After boring, 14-size lumbar puncture needle with trochar was used to acupuncture dura mater then moving the needle core so that blood was discharged. Then 10 mL medical oxygen was perfused into the needle guard to cause the blood discharged from hematom again. Oxygen was perfused repetitively, once for 10 mL, till there was no blood flow. Finally, 10 mL oxygen was perfused following moving of trochar and bandaging.Oxygen volume used in each case was recorded. After operation,the volume of normal saline infusion could be increased as large as possible. The duration of infusion was 2 weeks.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Improvement in limb function.RESULTS: All the patients were involved in the result analysis.①Within 24 hours, volume of hematomwas decreased obviously detected with CT, and hematom completely disappeared in 3 cases,which was replaced by oxygen. Three weeks later, all the oxygen was absorbed, the structure of midline was symmetrical and the form of brain ventricles was normal. No pain was found and 5 casesof limb asthenia were also recovered. ②Advantage and disadvantage of foramen-vertebrate oxygen-exchange operation: Advantages were listed as follows: It was simple and spent shorter time,there were few complications, and patients had no limitation in movement after operation. The operation avoided the occurrence of thrombosis of lower limbs. Cranial pressure could not lower quickly. As the pressure resident in envelope, cerebraospinal fluid could not move into the envelope. Along with the absorption of oxygen,hematom was decreased gradually till completely disappeared. Occurrence of clinical symptoms resulting from cerebral blood perfusion was decreased so as to draw rein. The disadvantage of this operation was that it was not suitable for heart disease patients to undertake this operation at bedside, and headache or limb asthenia could not be alleviated immediately.CONCLUSION: The new operation-method of cranial foramen-vertebrate oxygen-exchange to treat chronic subdural hemtoma in the elderly is safe, reliable and feasible through preoperative CT localization.

Objective: To investigate the sensitization of physiological (10~(-9)mol/L) and pharmacological (10~(-5)mol/L) concentrations of melatonin on cell line MCF-7 for adriamycin and its mechanism. Methods: (1) MTT was applied to test the changes in inhibition ratio and IC_(50) of call line MCF-7 for adriamycin before and af-ter incubation with melatonin. (2) Flow cytometry was used to observe the effect of different concentrations of melatonin, adriamycin and melatonin plus adriamycin on cell apoptosis. (3) Western blot was employed to de-termine the expression of p53 and bcl-2 in MCF-7 cells incubated with melatonin, adriamycin and melatonin plus adriamycin. Results: (1) MTT method showed that adriamycin had inhibitive effect on the growth of MCF-7 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The IC_(50) of cell line MCF-7 for adnamycin before treat-ment with melatonin was 0.62±0.07ug/mL (P>0.05). The IC50 of cell line MCF-7 for adriamycin incubated with physiological and pharmacological concentrations of melatonin was 0.59±0.09ug/mL and 0.42±0.02ug/mL, re-spectively, with a significant difference (P<0.01). (2) Flow cytometry method showed that adriamycin could promote apoptosis of MCF-7, and no changes in the apoptosis index were observed as the concentration of melatonin was changed (P>0.05). With the same concentration of adriamycin, the apoptosis index of cells treated with physiological concentration of melatonin plus adriamycin was not changed (P=>0.05), but the apop-tosis index of cells treated with pharmacological concentrations of melatonin plus addamycin was increased significantly. The concentration of adriamycin had no effect on the apoptosis index. (3) Western blot showed that P53 protein was expressed at a lower level and bcl-2 protein was highly expressed. Physiological concen-trations of melatonin increased the expression of p53 and decreased bcl-2 expression in a dose - dependent manner. The concentration of addamycin had no effect on the expression of p53 and bcl-2 proteins. Conclu-sion: (1) Physiological concentrations of melatonin had no effect on the anti-cancer effect of adriamycin. Phar-macological concentrations of melatonin showed sensitization of MCF-7 cells for adriamycin. (2) With a lower concentration of adriamycin, the promotion of apoptosis may be part of the mechanism of sensitization effect of melatonin. With the increase of adriamycin concentration, the cytotoxic mechanism of melotonin became more and more important. (3) Physiological concentration could increase the expression of p53 and decrease bcl-2 expression in ER~+ breast carcinoma cell line MCF-7 in a dose -dependent manner. The apoptosis involv-ing p53 and bcl-2 passway was part of the mechanism of sensitization effect of melatonin for addamycin.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of pleural effusion caused byMycoplasma pneumoniae in children.MethodsThe clinical data from children with pleural effusion caused byMycoplasma pneumoniae were retrospectively analyzed. Differences of clinical characteristics in children with pleural effusion caused byMycoplasma pneumoniae infection and non-Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection were compared. Moreover, multiple logistic regression analysis was performed on the factors that were identified to have statistical differences in single factor analysis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was performed and the diagnostic boundary value of each factor and the diagnostic accuracy of the regression model were calculated.ResultsThere were statistical differences between children with pleural effusion caused byMycoplasma pneumoniae infection and by non-Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in age, white blood cell count, lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), levels of IgA and IgM, and the proportion of multiple nuclei, glucose and lactic acid (LAC) in pleural effusion, pleural thickening, and formation of ifbrous separation (allP?0.05). Multifactor logistic regression found the differences of age, levels of IgM and LDH, level of LAC are statistically different between the two groups (allP0.05), with their diagnostic boundary value of 3.92 years old, 1.29 g/L, 367 U/L and 4.02 mmol/L, respectively.ROC under the curve (AUC) was 0.887 (95%CI: 0.830-0.944,P0.001).ConclusionIn children having pleural effusion caused by pneumonia of unknown pathogen, if their age is?>?3.92 years, serum IgM?>?1.29 g/L, LDH?>?367 U/L and pleural effusion LAC?4.02 mmol/L, Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection should be highly suspected.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors of severe pneumonia in children with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was used to collect 210 children with RSV infected pneumonia admitted to Hebei Children′s Hospital from October 2017 to October 2020. Among them, 70 children with severe pneumonia were included in the severe pneumonia group, and 140 children with common pneumonia were included in the common pneumonia group; the baseline data and relevant laboratory indicators of the two groups were compared; Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of severe pneumonia in children infected with RSV.Results:The proportions of wheezing, congenital heart disease, respiratory failure, heart failure and pleural effusion of children in severe pneumonia group were higher than those in common pneumonia group, and the forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV 1) were lower than those in common pneumonia group (all P<0.05); the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), CD8 + cells, RSV load and Beclin-1 in severe pneumonia group were higher than those in common pneumonia group, and the levels of CD4 + cells and 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1, 25-(OH) 2D] were lower than those in common pneumonia group (all P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of CRP, CD8 + cells and Beclin-1 in children with severe pneumonia were lower than those before treatment, and the levels of CD4 + cells and 1, 25-(OH) 2D were higher than those before treatment (all P<0.05). Multiple regression model analysis was established. The results showed that congenital heart disease, high CRP level, high CD8 + cells, high RSV load and high Beclin-1 level were risk factors for severe pneumonia in children with RSV infected pneumonia (all OR>1, P<0.05), and high CD4 + cells and 1, 25-(OH) 2D level were protective factors (all OR<1, P<0.05). Conclusions:Severe pneumonia in children with RSV infected pneumonia may be affected by congenital heart disease, CRP, CD4 + cells, CD8 + cells, 1, 25-(OH) 2D, RSV load and Beclin-1.

Objective:To investigate the current status of women′s level of birth experience and lactation initiation time and explore the effect of level of birth experience on lactation initiation time.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. A convenience sampling method was used to select 622 maternal cases attending the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College from November, 2020 to January, 2021, and the distribution of their labor experience level and lactation initiation time was investigated by questionnaire and follow-up assessment.Results:There were 622 women with transvaginal deliveries who had lactation initiation times of more than 72 h in 241 cases (38.75%). The scores for each dimension of the Childbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) were (49.63 ± 8.58)points, and the scores for each dimension of CEQ were perceived safety, professional support, involvement and self-efficacy in descending order. The results of the correlation analysis showed that there was a negative correlation between the scores on each dimension of CEQ and the total score and lactation initiation time ( r values were -0.436 to -0.146, all P<0.01). Stratified regression analysis showed that after controlling for age, number of births, gestational weeks of labour, illness during pregnancy and labour analgesia as the underlying variables affecting lactation initiation time, the scores for self-efficacy, involvement, perceived safety and professional support in the CEQ all affected lactation initiation time after delivery ( t values were -6.76 to -2.02, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The birth experience and lactation of women who deliver via vaginal birth need to be taken into account. The more negative the birth experience, the longer the lactation initiation time. The women′s involvement in the birth process, their own competence, perceived safety and level of professional support are all valid influencing indicators of lactation initiation time.

OBJECTIVE:To in vestigate the effects of dexmedetomidine (Dex)on SIRT 1/Akt/GSK3β/β-catenin signaling pathway in cerebral injury of sepsis model rats ,and explore the mechanism of its protecitve effect on cerebral injury. METHODS : A total of 80 male SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (Sham group ),sepsis group (CLP group ),CLP+Dex group(10 μg/kg Dex),CLP+Dex+Sirtinol group (10 μg/kg Dex+2 μL/100 g SIRT 1 inhibitor sirtinol ),with 20 mice in each group. Two hours before modeling ,CLP+Dex+Sirtinol group was injected with sirtinol via lateral ventricle. Sepsis model was induced by cecal ligation and perforation in each group (in sham group ,only operation was performed but no ligation was performed). At 0,3,6 h after modeling ,CLP+Dex group and CLP+Dex+Sirtinol group were given Dex (10 μg/kg) intraperitoneally,Sham group and CLP group were given constant volume of normal saline intraperitoneally. Cerebral tissue water content,Evans blue (EB)content,apoptosis in cerebral cortex ,the levels of IL- 1β and TNF-α in cerebral tissue as well as the protein expression of SIRT 1,p-Akt,p-GSK3β and β-catenin in hippocampus were detected 24 h after last medication. RESULTS : Compared with Sham group ,cerebral tissue water content ,EB content ,the number of apoptotic cells in cerebral cortex as well as the levels of IL- 1β and TNF-α in cerebral tissue were increased significantly(P<0.05),while the protein expression of SIRT 1, p-Akt,p-GSK3β and β-catenin in hippocampus were decreased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with CLP group ,cerebral tissue water content ,EB content ,the number of apoptotic cells in cerebral cortex as well as the levels of IL- 1β and TNF-α in cerebral tissue were decreased significantly in CLP+Dex group (P<0.05),while the protein expression of SIRT 1,p-Akt,p-GSK3β and β-catenin in hippocampus were increased significantly (P<0.05). Sirtinol could significantly reverse the above-mentioned cerebral protection and factor regulation effects of Dex (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS :Dex can protect the cerebral tissue of sepsis model rats,which may play an anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic role by activating SIRT 1/Akt/GSK3β/β-catenin signaling pathway ,so as to reduce cerebral edema ,protect blood-brain barrier and reduce cerebral injury.
