China Pharmacy 2015;(23):3273-3274,3275
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the relationship between the perioperative application of antibiotics in caesarean opera-tion and neonatal hyperbilirubinemia,and to provide reference for reducing the incidence of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. METH-ODS:264 cases of cesarean section women were randomly divided into control group and observation group,with 132 cases in each group. Control group was given antibiotics after operation,and observation group was given prophylactic application of antibi-otics before operation,and equivalent dose of intravenous injection after operation. Postoperative maximum and average tempera-ture,white blood cell(WBC),neutrophils(NEUT),complications and economic index were compared between 2 groups after op-eration. RESULTS:There was no statistically significant difference in postoperative maximum and average temperature,WBC count,NEUT proportion,wound infection and fever rate between 2 groups (P>0.05). The costs of medication,drug dosage per capita,hospital stay and the incidence of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in observation group were significantly lower than in control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The perioperative standard use of antibiotics in caesarean opera-tion could effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and hospitalization cost,and cut down treat-ment time. It also has a high economic value and worthy of promotion.

Objective To assess the association between the depth of trophoblastic penetration into the tubal wall with serum concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG). Meth-ods Eighty patients with a diagnosis of tubal pregnancy in the ampullary region underwent radical surgical treatment (sal-pingectomy), were included in this study. The serum levels of VEGF andβ-HCG were detected on the day of surgery. The se-rum level of VEGF was measured by ELISA. The serum level ofβ-HCG was quantified with a two-site immunofluorimetric assay based on the direct sandwichtechnique. Histological material was stained with Masson's trichrome to identify muscular fibers. Immunohistochemical staining was used for human placental lactogen (hPL) to identify intermediate trophoblast and determine the depth of trophoblastic invasion into the tubal wall. The ampullary pregnancies were classified histologically ac-cording to the depth of trophoblastic infiltration into the tubal wall. Results The mean serum values of VEGF andβ-HCG were significantly lower in patients with stage I tubal infiltration than those of stageⅡ, and which were significantly lower in patients with stageⅡthan those in stageⅢ(P<0.05). The threshold serum value of VEGF was 308.6 ng/L, the sensitivity was 100.0%and the specificity was 92.6%for stageⅠand stageⅡ. The threshold serum value of VEGF was 431.9 ng/L, the sensitivity was 79.3%and specificity was 79.2%for stageⅡandⅢ. The threshold serum value ofβ-hCG was 2 509.6 IU/L, the sensitivity was 91.7%and specificity was 81.5%for stageⅠand stageⅡ, and levels of 13 142.6 IU/L, 72.4%and 95.8%for stageⅡand stageⅢ. Conclusion The depth of trophoblastic penetration into the tubal wall is associated with maternal serum concentrations of VEGF andβ-HCG, which can be used as the evaluation index for histological staging of trophoblas-tic tissue infiltration.

Objective To study the safety and efficacy of selective head cooling (SHC) with mild systemic hypotherrnia in neonates with HIE. Methods Fifty-four term infants with severe neonatal HIE were randomly assigned to the head cooling group (n=27) and control group (n=27). Forty-one infants in 96 h after admission were eligible for the study(SHC group n=21, control group n=20). In SHC group, the naso-pharyngeal temperature was maintained at (34.0±0.2) ℃ and rectal temperature maintained at 34~35 ℃ for 72 h, then rewarmed spontaneously. In control group, normal rectal temperature was maintained. During the period of the study, the infants of two groups were monitored on nasopharyngeal temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate,transcutaneous arterial oxygen saturation and blood pressure. Primary adverse effects inclu-ding severe arrhythmia, venous thrombosis or hemorrhage and severe hypotension were observed. The efficacy indicators including rate of death and severe disability, exercise and cognition development index were as-sessed. Results Severe arrhythmia, hypotension and renal failure were not found in both groups. Follow-up was conducted until postnatal 18 months and was not available in 6 babies (3 in SHC group and 3 in control group respectively). Death and severe disability occurred in 4 of 18 infants (22.2%)in SHC group and in 9 of 17 infants(52.9% ) in the control group respectively (P<0.05). Conclusion SHC for 72 h with mild systemic hypothermia in neonates with HIE is safe and effective. The therapy could reduce the risk of disabili-ty and handicap significantly.
