Objective To evaluate the symptom improvement of anxiolytics and antidepressant to hemifacial spasm(HFS)patients with anxiety and depression. Methods A total of 60 HFS patients with anxiety and depression were enrolled for the study and divided into experimental group and control group. Experimental group were treated with escitalopram and BTX-A ,and control group only received BTX-A. SAS and SDS were used to test all the patients before and after treatment. Results Both experimental group and control group were significantly improved after BTX-A therapy. There was no different between two groups at 1 week and 1 month,respectively. At 2 weeks and 3 months,more obvious improvement was seen in experimental group. The SAS and the SDS standard average scores of experimental group were significantly decreased compared with the control group. There was statistical significance in control group after 1 month and 3 months treatment(P<0.05),and in experimental group,the differences appeared after 2-week treatment(P<0.05). Additionally,after 1 month treatment,there were statistical differences between the two groups(P<0.05),and experimental group shown a longer effective period compared with control group. Conclusion Anxiety and depression state serves as a complication of HFS ,which is positively correlated with HFS. HFS patients with anxiety and depression benefit better from escital-opram and BTX-A combination therapy than BTX-A alone.

Objective:
To compare the effectiveness of less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) and intubate surfactant extubation (INSURE) on respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) among premature infant, so as to provide insights into improving treatment effects and reducing complications of RDS among premature infants.
Methods:
A total of 71 premature infants with RDS in Anhui Provincial Maternity and Child Health Hospital were randomly assigned into the LISA and INSURE group, and pulmonary surfactant (PS) administration was carried out by LISA and INSURE with basic support therapy and respiratory support therapy. The general information, arterial blood gas analysis before and after treatment, respiratory support time and incidence of complications were collected and compared between the two groups.
Results:
There were 31 cases in the LISA group, with a gestational age of (29.81±0.99) weeks and 22 male cases, and 40 cases in the INSURE group, with a gestational age of (30.02±1.13) weeks and 26 male cases. There were no significant differences in basic characteristics (including gestational age, birth weight, gender, etc.) between the two groups (all P>0.05). After administration, the level of PaO2 was lower in the LISA group than in the INSURE group [(78.35±6.55) mmHg vs. (87.68±8.21) mmHg, P<0.05], the level of PaCO2 was higher in the LISA group than in the INSURE group [(43.03±6.34) mmHg vs. (38.68±9.69) mmHg, P<0.05], and the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia was lower in the LISA group than in the INSURE group (48.39% vs. 72.50%, P<0.05). Linear regression analysis showed that with the duration of LISA administration increase (2-7 min), the minimum heart rate of premature infants increased linearly (β=13, P<0.05).
Conclusions
Compared with INSURE, LISA administration could slowly improve ventilation oxygenation, reduce hyperventilation and incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia among premature infants with RDS. The incidence of slow heart rate may be reduced by appropriately prolonging the administration duration.

Polymyxin E shows effective treatment of the infection induced by resistant gramnegative bacteria, but its nephrotoxicity severely limits the clinical application of this drug. In this work, methoxypolyethylene glycols 2000 (mPEG2K)-polymyxin E (PME) was synthesized via chemical grafting reaction and had been characterized. The antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity of mPEG2K-PME in vitro were investigated on Escherichia coli and HK-2 cells, separately. Intra-abdominal infection model was further established in order to study the therapeutic effect and the toxic effect on kidney of mice. The results showed that mPEG2K-PME exhibited significant inhibitory effect on Escherichia coli and had a lower toxicity on HK-2 cells in vitro. At the same time, mPEG2K-PME had a good efficacy in the treatment of Escherichia coli infected mice in vivo. Moreover, nephrotoxicity caused by mPEG2K-PME was significantly reduced compared to free PME. mPEG2K-PME is promising in development of new preparations with high efficiency and low toxicity.
