OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of amoxicillin sodium and clavulanate potassium com-bined with cranial mild-moderate hypothermia in the treatment of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) complicating with pulmonary infection. METHODS:80 children with HIE complicating with pulmonary infection were randomly divided into ob-servation group(42 cases)and control group(38 cases). Control group received routine treatment under normal body temperature as lowering intracranial pressure,correcting acid-base balance,giving nutritional support and anticonvulsive treatment,and then was given amoxicillin sodium and clavulanate potassium 30 mg/kg intravenously,tid,more than 30 min each time,for consecutive 3 d. On the basis of control group,observation group was additionally given cranial mild-moderate hypothermia therapy:wearing cooling cap,at 10 ℃;keeping pharynx nasalis temperature at 34 ℃;keeping rectal temperature at 33-37 ℃;decreasing at rate of 1 ℃/h. They continued treatment for 3 d till body temperature decreased to 34.5 ℃;and then cooling cap was taken off to recover normal body temperature. Therapeutic efficacy of HIE and pulmonary infection were observed in 2 groups. NBNA score of 2 groups were recorded 1st,2nd and 4th week after birth,and the occurrence of ADR was observed. RESULTS:Total effective rate of HIE therapy (95.24% vs. 78.95%),cure rate of pulmonary infection (52.38% vs. 26.32%) and total effective rate (85.71% vs. 65.79%) in observation group were significantly higher than control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in NBNA score between 2 groups 1st week after birth(P>0.05). Compared to 1st week after birth,NBNA score were significantly improved 2nd and 4th week after birth,and the observation group were significantly higher than the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Amoxicillin sodium and clavulanate potassium combined with cranial mild-moderate hypothermia is effec-tive for HIE complicating with pulmonary infection,and can effectively improve the prognosis of children with good safety.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of Radish Seed Chengqi Decoction combined with glutamine for treatment of patients with sepsis complicated with paralytic ileus. Methods Sixty patients with septic ileus admitted to the Department of Emergency Intensive Care Unit (EICU) of Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from August 2017 to January 2019 were enrolled. The Western medicine treatment group (30 cases) received routine Western medical methods including intravenous drip of glutamine, etc. for symptomatic treatment, and the Radish Seed Chengqi Decoction group (30 cases), based on the treatment in the Western medicine group, were additionally given the decoction by nasal feeding and retention enema twice a day, once 100 mL with the course of 7 days in both groups. The herbal prescription of Radish Seed Chengqi Decoction contained rhubarb 24 g (decocted later), sodium sulfate 15 g (mixed with water to take), magnoliae cortex 15 g, orange frui 10 g, aucklandiae 10 g, henan achyranthes root 10 g and radish seed 15 g, constituting one dose, two doses one day given to a patient, making one dose of herbal medicine to 200 mL of decoction for nasal feeding and retention enema, once 100 mL respectively, twice a day for 7 days. After treatment, the changes of survival rate in ICU, the total effective rate and the level of procalcitonin (PCT) were observed in both groups. Results After treatment, the total effective rate in Radish Seed Chengqi Decoction group was significantly higher than that in the Western medicine treatment group [83.33% (25/30) vs. 66.67% (20/30), P < 0.05], and the ICU 7-day survival rate in Radish Seed Chengqi Decoction group was also significantly higher than that in Western medicine treatment group [90.00% (27/30) vs. 76.67% (23/30), P < 0.05]. After treatment, the levels of PCT (μg/L) in both groups were significantly decreased compared with those before the treatment (Western medicine treatment group: 3.38±1.72 vs. 6.43±3.29, and Radish Seed Chengqi Decoction group: 2.39±1.24 vs. 6.78±2.31, both P < 0.05), and the degree of decrease of PCT in radish seed chengqi decoction group was more obvious than that in Western medicine treatment group (μg/L: 2.39±1.24 vs. 3.38±1.72, P < 0.05). Conclusion Applying alanyl glutamine combined with Radish Seed Chengqi Decoction for treatment of patients with sepsis complicated with paralytic ileus can significantly improve the clinical symptoms, reduce the PCT level and elevate the survival rate of patients.

Objective:Taking emergency department (ED) as a starting point, to analyze the epidemiological characteristics and mortality risk factors of sepsis, and to provide evidences for ED to carry out the strategy of "three early and two lower" for sepsis.Methods:Based on the ED and inpatient medical record management information platform of Tianjin Medical University Gernal Hospital, adult ED patients with sepsis from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2020 were included according to the third international consensus definitions for sepsis and septic shock in 2016 and the consensus of Chinese experts on early prevention and blocking of sepsis in 2020. The epidemiological characteristics of patients were retrospectively analyzed. Chi-square test was used to compare the difference of age, sex, hospitalization times, length of stay, hospitalization cost and infection location between dead patients and survival patients, and a stepwise logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of mortality in hospitalized patients with ED sepsis.Results:A total of 7 494 patients with sepsis in ED were included in this study, and the annual and monthly component ratios varied from 3.8‰ to 6.1‰ and 2.0‰ to 9.0‰, respectively. The main characteristics of patients with sepsis in ED were as follows: 40-69 years old (46.0%), male (59.0%), mostly diagnosed with sepsis (96.8%), mainly treated with urban health insurance (59.6%), and ED diagnosis and treatment fees of 2 000-8 000 Yuan (51.1%). The mortality of hospitalized patients with ED sepsis was 24.4% and that of hospitalized patients with septic shock was 28.8%. The main characteristics of hospitalized patients with ED sepsis were as follows: most of them were male (56.2%) patients over 70 years old (56.0%), most of them were diagnosed with sepsis (94.0%) and hospitalized for the first time (76.0%), the median hospitalization time was 15 d, most of them were hospitalized under urban health insurance (65.2%), and the median hospitalization fees was 47 000 Yuan. The risk factors of death were influenced by age and length of stay. Patients aged 70 years or older had a higher risk of death than those aged from 18 to 39 years, and patients with a length of stay of more than 7 d had a lower risk of death than those with a length of stay of shorter than 7 d. The primary infection focus were mainly respiratory and urinary systems, while the death rate of patients with hematological and abdominal infections was relatively high, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01). Respiratory and abdominal infections were risk factors for death in patients with ED sepsis. Conclusions:The composition ratio of sepsis in ED patients is not regular in time, so vigilance of sepsis in elderly men and patients with respiratory system, blood system, urinary system and abdominal infections should be constantly raised. Patients with sepsis who are older, hospitalized more frequently, hospitalized for a shorter time, and infected in the respiratory system or abdomen have a higher risk of death.

As a complex autoimmune disease, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) involves immune microenvironment dysregulation resulting from excessive activation of pyroptosis, which is a crucial factor in disease progression. Based on the theory of ying-wei in traditional Chinese medicine, "ying decline and wei attack" is considered the fundamental pathogenesis of RA. Pyroptosis serves as a microscopic manifestation of this concept, suggesting a potential correlation between "ying decline and wei attack" and pyroptosis nd immune microenvironment dysregulation in RA. Accordingly, treatment principles based on this theory are proposed: in the early stage of the disease, boosting wei to consolidate the exterior, and regulating ying to dispel pathogens; in the middle and late stages, harmonizing ying to remove stagnation, and nourishing its transformational source.
