Objective:To observe the effect of Wuling capsules combined with calcitriol on urine marker proteins in early diabetic nephropathy ( DN) . Methods: Totally 64 patients with early DN were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group with 32 cases in each. The two groups were with appropriate diet and exercise, relatively stable protein intake and optimal hypo-glycemic program. The observation group was additionally treated with Wuling capsules (0. 9 g, po tid) and calcitriol 0. 25 μg,po qd, with the treatment course of eight weeks. The levels of FBG and 2hBG, HbA1c, hs-CRP, urinary protein, ALB, β2-MG and RBP were observed in the two groups before and after the treatment. Results:After the treatment, FBG, 2hBG, HbA1c, hs-CRP, total pro-tein, Alb and RBP in the two groups were improved when compared with those before the treatment, and the difference had statistical significance(P<0. 05). The total protein, ALB,β2-MG, RBP and hs-CRP in the observation group were better than those in the con-trol group after the treatment, and the difference was statistically significance (P<0. 05). Conclusion: Wuling capsules combined with calcitriol can effectively reduce glomerular and renal tubular damage in early DN patients.

Objective To investigate the effects of low frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on non-fluent aphasia in patients after stroke.Methods Forty stroke patients displaying non-fluent aphasia were randomly assigned to an rTMS group and a control group using a random number table.Both groups were treated with conventional language therapy,while the rTMS group was additionally given 0.5 Hz rTMS over the Broca's homologues of the unaffected hemisphere 5 days a week for 3 weeks.The patients were stimulated at 90％ of the motor threshold (MT),with 16 second trains and intervals of 3 seconds 48 times (384 pulses) in a session.Before and after the 3 weeks of treatment,the Western Aphasia Battery (WAB) and the Communicative Abilities in Daily Living (CADL) test were conducted in both groups to evaluate their language function and communication ability.Results Only spontaneous speech improved significantly (P＜0.05) in the control group after 3 weeks of treatment.In the rTMS group,the spontaneous speech,auditory comprehension,repetition,naming and aphasia quotient (AQ) had all improved significantly (P＜0.05).Moreover,after the treatment,the average score of the auditory comprehension (153.90± 31.79),repetition (82.65± 15.14),naming(81.28±22.12) and AQ (63.66± 13.64) of the rTMS group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion rTMS applied to the Broca's homologues of the unaffected hemisphere can significantly improve language function in those exhibiting non-fluent aphasia after stroke.

Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) targeted treatment has been a standard therapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but it is not tolerated well by all patients. In China, some studies have reported that traditional Chinese medicinal herbs (TCMHs) may increase efficacy and reduce toxicity when combined with EGFR-TKI, but outside of China few studies of this kind have been attempted.

Objective To study the effects of dynamic,support-inducing exercise on the support,balance and gait ability of patients with moderate-to-severe hemiplegia after stroke.Methods Fourteen stroke patients were randomly assigned to an experimental or a control group (7 cases to each).The patients in the experimental group received both dynamic,support-inducing exercise and routine exercises,while the patients in the control group received routine exercises only.Before training and after 40 and 60 days of training,their functional capacity was evaluated with the Chinese stroke scale (CSS) for neurological deficits,Berg's balance scale (BBS) and using functional ambulation categories (FACs).Results Before training there was no inter-group difference in average CSS or BBS scores or in FACs.For the experimental group there were significant intra-group differences compared with 0th day in all three items at both time points.At days 40 and 60 there were also significant intra-group differences in BBS scores and FACs in the control group,and CSS scores improved significantly only in the experimental group.At day 40 there were significant inter-group differences in average CSS,BBS and FAC results.However,by day 60 a significant difference persisted only in average CSS scores.Conclusions Dynamic,support-inducing exercise can improve support,balance and gait in patients with moderate-to-severe hemiplegia after stroke.

Objective To explore the efficacy of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in the treatment of neonatal acute kidney injury (AKI).Methods Totally 17 critically ill neonates treated with CRRT were selected who were hospitalized at Department of Neonatology,Shanghai Children's Hospital,Children's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University,from June 2012 to June 2017,and among them there were 15 cases with AKI,and the clinical data of these 15 patients were retrospectively analyzed,while 15 AKI neonates were treated with CRRT combined with conventional treatment.The model for CRRT was continuous veno-venous hemofiltration dialysis (CVVH-DF) in 13 cases,plasma exchange (PE) in 2 cases.The changes of blood pressure(BP),renal function,electrolyte,acid-base balance index and hemodynamic indicators were analyzed respectively before CRRT treatment,12 h,24 h,48 h after treatment and by the end of CRRT treatment.The efficacy of CRRT treatment was evaluated in these 15 AKI neonates.Results Gestational age of 15 AKI newborns was 33 +4-40 +1 weeks,admission day age was 2-28 days,birth weight was 2.25-4.00 kg.Primary diseases were severe asphyxia in 6 cases,neonatal septicemia in 5 cases,congenital hereditary metabolic disease in 2 cases,traumatic asphyxia in 1 case,and liver failure in 1 case.CRRT treatment persisted for 49-190 hours.BP value [(50.8 ± 6.57) mmHg(1 mmHg =0.133 kPa)] could reach normal level after 12 h CRRT treatment,and blood pH value (7.31 ± 0.25) increased significantly after 12 h CRRT treatment,while blood K+[(5.51 ±1.86) mmoL/L],urea nitrogen (BUN) [(9.5 ±3.7) mmol/L],creatinine(Cr) [(93± 14)μmol/L] significantly decreased after 12 h CRRT treatment,and reached the normal range [K + (4.78 ± 2.95)mmol/L,BUN (7.5 ±2.1) mmol/L,Cr (54 ± 13) μmol/L] after 24 h treatment,but urine volume[(0.8 ±0.2)mL/(kg· h)] significantly increased after 24 h treatment.Partial pressure of oxygen/fraction of inspired oxygen reached 200 mmHg after 12 h treatment and more than 300 mmHg after 24 h treatment.CRRT treatment of 15 AKI neonates turned out to be effective.Conclusions CRRT can effectively improve the internal environment of AKI neonates and reduce the death rate of neonatal AKI,which can provide an effective adjuvant treatment measures for the treatment of AKI neonates.

ObjectiveTo investigate the timing and efficacy of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in neonatal acute kidney injury (AKI).MethodsNineteen AKI neonates treated with CRRT were enrolled during hospitalization in the Department of Neonatology of the Children's Hospital of Shanghai from June 2011 to June 2018. Their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. According to their baseline renal function, these neonates were divided into two groups using an improved RIFLE (Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss and End-stage renal disease) standard: AKI stage 1-2 group and AKI stage 3 group. CRRT included continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) and plasma exchange (PE). Several parameters included blood pressure (BP), renal function, electrolyte, blood gas and hemodynamic indicators were analyzed before, 12 h, 24 h, and 48 h after the initiation of CRRT and at the end of CRRT. Changes in neonatal renal function before, 24 h after the initiation of CRRT and at the end of CRRT were compared between the two groups. Efficacy of CRRT was evaluated, and clinical outcomes were analyzed. Kruskal-WallisH-test ort-test was applied for statistic analysis.Results(1) Among the 19 neonates with AKI, there were 12 in stage 1-2 and seven in stage 3. Seventeen cases were treated with CVVHDF, and the other two underwent plasma exchange. The duration of CRRT was 49-190 h with an average of (89.2±33.9) h. (2) After 12 h of CRRT, the blood pressure of all 19 AKI neonates returned to normal (40-60 mmHg, 1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) and was maintained at that level during the treatment. The blood pH value also increased to a normal range (7.35-7.45) at the same time. The oxygenation index reached 200 mmHg after 12 h of CRRT and rose to over 300 mmHg after 24 h. The levels of serum potassium, urea nitrogen, and creatinine decreased significantly after 12 h of CRRT and reached the normal range after 24 h of CRRT. After 24 h of CRRT, the urine volume significantly increased. (3) Serum levels of urea nitrogen and creatinine in neonates with AKI stage 1-2 decreased significantly after 24 h of CRRT. At any time points before and after CRRT (24 h before, 24 h after and at the end of CRRT), serum levels of urea nitrogen and creatinine in AKI stage 3 neonates were higher than those in AKI stage 1-2 neonates [urea nitrogen: (15.8± 4.1) mmol/L vs (10.2±5.1) mmol/L, (11.5±2.4) mmol/L vs (6.3±2.3) mmol/L, (9.8±2.1) mmol/L vs (5.1± 2.2) mmol/L,t=2.468, 2.226 and 2.171, respectively; creatinine: (184±32) μmol/L vs (152±26) μmol/L, (110±35) μmol/L vs (87±25) μmol/L, (63±12) μmol/L vs (44±9) μmol/L,t= 2.404, 2.423 and 3.972, respectively; allP<0.05]. (4) Venous catheterization was successful in the 19 AKI neonates. Three cases were complicated with thrombocytopenia, two with obstruction and two with hypotension during CRRT. Complications such as hypothermia, hemorrhage, thrombosis, and infection were not reported. (5) Among the 19 AKI neonates, 12 (including five of severe asphyxia, five of septic sepsis and two of inherited metabolic disorders and in metabolic crisis) were cured and discharged. The other seven cases (two in stage 1-2 and five in stage 3) lived through the oliguria stage but died after their family members gave up the treatment.ConclusionsCRRT is a safe and effective management for neonatal AKI. The optimal opportunity for CRRT treatment in AKI neonates should be at stage 1-2.

Objective To study the clinical efficacy and safety of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in critically ill neonates.Method From November 2016 to September 2018,the clinical data of 5 cases who received ECMO treatment in NICU of our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.The indication of ECMO was reversible respiratory failure irresponsive to conventional therapy.The treatment mode was V-A ECMO.Oxygenation index (OI),vasoactive-inotropic score,blood lactate before and 24 h after ECMO were recorded.Complications of ECMO were also studied.Paired t-test was used to compare the pre and post treatment parameters.Result Among the 5 cases,4 cases were male and 1 case was female.3 cases were diagnosed with meconium aspiration syndrome,2 cases pulmonary hypertension.OI[(9.5 ± 1.8) vs.(60.6 ± 19.4)],vasoactive-inotropic score[(19.5 ± 12.0) points vs.(204.0 ± 143.8) points]and blood lactate [(2.8 ± 1.5) mmol/L vs.(9.6 ± 3.6) mmol/L]) were all significantly decreased at 24 h after ECMO treatment (P ＜ 0.05).During follow-up,3 cases survived,2 cases died.All the 5 cases showed thrombocytopenia,3 cases developed renal failure and received continuous renal replacement therapy,1 case got intracranial hemorrhage.2 of the 3 survived cases developed neurological impairment and need long term follow-up and rehabilitation therapy.Conclusion ECMO treatment has remarkable effects on critically ill neonates and may actually save lives,but the risk of complications are quite high.
