Objective:To investigate the clinical application of noninvasive high frequency oscillatory ventilation(nHFOV)and heated humidified high flow nasal cannula(HHHFNC)in sequential ventilator evacuation of preterm infants with very low birth weight with respiratory distress syndrome(RDS).Methods:A total of 88 preterm infants of very low birth weight with RDS were enrolled in the study, who had received endotracheal intubation invasive ventilation and were ready to be replaced by non-invasive ventilation at neonatal intensive care unit(NICU)of Xuzhou Central Hospital from May 2017 to January 2020.All premature infants were routinely treated with caffeine citrate.They were divided into two groups through random number table: nHFOV/HHHFNC group(45 cases)and continuous positive airway pressure(nCPAP)/oxygen hood group(43 cases). nHFOV was given after invasive ventilator removal and HHHFNC transition was followed after nHFOV withdrawal in the nHFOV/HHHFNC group, while nCPAP was given after invasive ventilator removal and oxygen hood was followed after nCPAP withdrawal in the nCPAP/oxygen hood group.The main observation consequences were compared with arterial blood gas indexes after invasive ventilator evacuation, weaning effect and the incidence of related complications.Results:(1)There were no statistically differences between the two groups in terms of gender, gestational age, birth weight, Apgar score at 1 min and 5 min after birth, the number of glucocorticoid usage in 24 h before delivery, the number of pulmonary surfactant usage, invasive ventilation time and RDS grading( P>0.05). (2)The PaO 2, PaCO 2and oxygenation index(OI=100×MAP×FiO 2/PaO 2)of the nHFOV/HHHFNC group at 1 h and 24 h after invasive ventilator removal showed significant difference compared with the nCPAP/oxygen hood group( P<0.05). The differences as the following listed were statistically significant( P<0.05)between the two groups, including the failure rate of invasive ventilation weaning during 72 h [9%(4/45)vs.26%(11/43)], the incidence of frequent apnea [7%(3/45)vs.23%(10/43)], the failure rate of nHFOV and nCPAP noninvasive ventilation weaning [4%(2/45)vs.21%(9/43)], the oxygen-used time [12.02(9.08~12.31)d vs.14.44(11.32~13.26)d] and the incidence of nasal injury [4%(2/45)vs.26%(11/43)]. (3)The time of the first noninvasive ventilation of nHFOV and nCPAP, the incidences of lung air leakage, neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis, grade Ⅲ to Ⅳ intraventricular hemorrhage, above stageⅡretinopathy, bronchopulmonary dysplasia and the mortality rate between the two groups showed no statistical significance( P>0.05). Conclusion:nHFOV and HHHFNC used in the sequential ventilator evacuation of RDS in preterm infants with very low birth weight could improve oxygenation, reduce CO 2retention, improve the success rate of machine weaning and reduce the occurrence of apnea and nasal injury.

Study the serum level of HGF, Cys C and TGF-beta1 in type 2 diabetic nephropathy (DN), the infect of Pingshen decoction on those index. Selected 69 cases of 2 type DN and randomly divided into therapy group (36 cases) and control group (33 cases). The therapy group were treated with Pingshen decoction 1 dose/d, bid po. The control group were treated with NephritisShu tablet, 6 tablet, tid po. 8 weeks was a course. Before and after treatment, we examine the serum level of HGF, Cys C and TGF-beta1 by ELISA and immunonephelometry, and compare with 30 cases of healthy control group. The study demonstrates that before treatment, the serum level of HGF in both groups were significantly lower than healthy control group (P < 0.01), but Cys C, TGF-beta1 were significantly higher (P < 0.01). After treatment, the serum level of HGF of both groups were increased. The serum level of HGF of therapy group were significantly higher than of control group (P < 0.01), but the serum level of Cys C and TGF-beta1 were significantly lower than control group (P < 0.01). The serum level of HGF was correlated negatively with Cys C,TGF-beta1. In control group, the UAER, urine beta2-MG and quantity of 24-hour urine protein were significantly decreased after treatment (P < 0.01). The index of urine of therapy group were significantly lower than control group (P < 0.01). Results indicate that test of serum level of HGF and Cys C,TGF-beta1 of diabetic nephropathy have important clinical significance. Pingshen decoction can effectively intervene in the serum level of HGF and Cys C, TGF-beta1 and index of urine.

OBJECTIVETo discuss the therapeutic effect of thenar perforator flaps for the narrow cicatricial contracture at thumb and the first web.

METHODSFrom Aug. 2010 to Jan. 2012, 9 cases with narrow cicatricial contracture at thumb and the first web, were treated. The defect size after releasing the contracture ranged from 8 mm x 20 mm to 15 cm x 30 mm. The bilateral thenar perforator flaps beside the wound were designed which size was 10 mm x 25 mm to 15 mm x 35 mm. The wounds at donor sites were closed directly.

RESULTSAll the 9 flaps survived completely with primary healing. The patients were followed up for 6-18 months. The flaps had soft texture and good appearance. The shape of flaps and function of the fingers were satisfied after 6-18 months of follow-up. There was no scar contracture at incisions in thenar. The thumb motion was really normal. The abduction of first web was 70 degrees - 90 degrees degrees.

CONCLUSIONSThe thenar perforator flaps is one of the ideal methods for the treatment of narrow cicatricial contracture at thumb and the first web. The main artery is not sacrified.

Objective To explore the causes of postoperative recurrence in patients of nodular goiter,the selection of method for reoperation and the postoperative complications. Methods The clinical data of 278 nodular goiter patients admitted in the first affiliated hospital of Harbin Medical University between 2001 and 2008 were analyzed retrospectively,including the methods and complications for first operation and reoperation. Results In the first operation,79 eases received simple eminectomy and 167 cases received partial lobectomy,accounted for 28.4% and 60.1%,respectively. Unilateral subtotal lobectomy plus contralateral eminectomy was performed in 23 cases and subtotal thyroideetomy was conducted in 9 cases,accounted for 8.3% and 3.2%,respectively. Postoperative complications occurred in one hundred and twenty-three cases,the incidence being 8.2% (23/278). Unilateral subtotal Iobectomy plus contralateral partial iobectomy was reperformed in 37 cases and bilateral subtotal thyroidectomy in 241 cases. Postoperative complications occurred in 12 cases,the incidence being 4.2%(12/278). No postoperative recurrence of nodular goiter was found. Conclusions Recurrence of nodular goiter is closely associated with the scope of previous surgical treatment,and correct operative manipulation may reduce the recurrent rate.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of stimulating “Zhiyang” (DU 9) with electric acupuncture apparatus on contents of cAMP and cGMP in plasma of experimental acute myocardial ischemic rabbits.Methods40 rabbits were randomly divided into four groups: the normal control group (A), model group (B), model plus electric acupuncture on “Neiguan” (P 6) group (C) and model plus electric acupuncture on DU 9 group (D). The acute myocardial ischemic model was established by pituitrin (2 U/kg) injected into the vein of rabbit. Electrocardiogram (ECG) of Ⅱ leads was observed and contents of cAMP and cGMP in plasma were tested after electric acupuncture by radio immunoassay.ResultsThe cAMP contents of the group C and group D were lower than that of the group B significantly ( P<0.01), but not different from that of the group A ( P>0.05), and there was no difference between the group C and group D. The contents of cGMP were not different among four groups ( P>0.05).ConclusionPuncturing DU 9 can raise the myocardial endurance to the insufficiency of blood and oxygen. The effects of electric acupuncture on DU 9 and P 6 are the same.
