Objective To evaluate the effect of continuous aspiration of subglottic secretions (CASS) on the prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in mechanically ventilated patients. Methods Patients ventilated mechanically at the ICU from October, 2004 to April,2006 were randomly divided into 2 groups: one group received CASS and the other did not (NASS group). CASS was performed immediately after admission for patients in the CASS group. The diagnosis d VAP was made based on clinical presentations, and the evaluation of YAP was done using simplified version of the clinical pulmonary infection score (CPIS). The general status of the patients, days of ventilated treatment, the volume of daily aspirated aubglottic secretions, the morbidity and timing of VAP, days of stay in ICU and mortality within 28 days of hospitalization were recorded. Results One hundred and one patients were included in the study. There were 48 patients in the CASS group who were treated with mechanical ventilation more than 48 hours,and 43 patients in the NASS group. There was no significant difference in the general status of the patients and days of ventilation between 2 groups with the averaged score of APACHE Ⅱ being 20.8± 6.1. The average of CPIS was of 5.6±1.0 when VAP was diagnosed. The mean volume of aspirated subglottic secretions within the first 24 hours in the CASS group (n=48) was (27.2±21.2)ml. The morbidity of VAP in the CASS and the NASS groups was 25.0% and 46. 5% respectively (P=0.032), and the length of time before the onset of VAP in these 2 groups was (7.3±4.2) days and (5.1±3.0) days respectively (P=0.100). There was a significant increase in the percentage of gram-positive cocci from the lower respiratory tracts in the NASS group compared with that in the CASS group (P=0.004). In the CASS group, the volume of the first daily aspirated subglottic secretions in patients with VAP was significantly less than that in patients without VAP(P =0.006). The morbidity of VAP in patients with failed early aspiration (the volume of first daily aspirated secretions≤20 ml) was significantly higher than that in patients in whom the aspiration was effective (P<0.01). The length of mechanical ventilation in patients with VAP was significantly longer than that in patients without VAP(P=0.000). The in-hospital mortality in patients with VAP was significantly higher than that in patients without VAP(P=0.009), and the mortality in 28 days after admission in patients with VAP was significantly higher than that in patients without VAP(P=0.035).Conclusion Effective continuous aspiration of subglottic secretions could significantly reduce the morbidity of early-onset VAP.

BACKGROUND: Due to the polymorphism of HLA, a large number of ambiguities have been generated by conventional HLA typing techniques, and confirmed stereotypes of ambiguous results based on group-specific haploid full-length typing are rarely reported.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the accuracy of HLA-typing ambigulity based on group-specific haploid full-length sequencing. METHODS: The low-resolution results were used as the starting point for two ambiguous samples. Sanger sequencing (PCR-SBT) based on haploid full-length was performed after group-specific amplification. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: One case showed a new A*02:03:01 allele, which was found a mutation in NT817 from C to T in comparison with A*11:01:01:01. The other case indicated another new C*07:02:01:01, which was found a mutation in NT879 from A to G in comparison with C*08:01:01. In conclusion, these results indicate that the group-specific haploid full-length sequencing method can be used to accurately classify HLA alleles and to discover new alleles.

Since the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, the development of China’s official de-velopment assistance for health has been going through three phases. To date, it has developed in many forms, inclu-ding the dispatch of medical team and the construction of health facilities. Since the market reforms, the global con-text together with the domestic socioeconomic foundations have changed; the impact of China’s relatively simple and segmented development assistance for health on the development of health systems in developing countries is limited;the effectiveness of assistance has been watered-down due to segmentation and vague management and accountability systems, as well as the lack of an overarching strategy;China’s health institutions, techniques and products suffer va-rious obstacles in their transfer to other countries where rules are dominated by western countries;compared with the increasing and multiple demands of development assistance for health from developing countries, the capacities of co-operation need to be further developed. As the paper suggests, use the “new major-country” and “new morality-in-terest” and“human oriented” concepts, as well as the ideology of“aid in order to develop, develop in order to coop-erate, so as to develop hand-in-hand” to guide China’s development assistance for health;innovate stereo-aid models to adapt to the changed foreign and domestic socioeconomic context; reform the development assistance for health management system and define rights and obligations appropriately;strengthen coordination and information sharing;link development assistance for health with global health governance to promote a maximized spillover effect;mobilize the civil society with strengthened guidance and supervision.

Objective:To investigate the effect of Fuzheng-Peiyuan recipe assisted modified VAD program on M protein, myeloma cells and immune function in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). Methods:A total of 96 patients with MM from January 2017 to May 2019 in our hospital were selected as the research objects, and they were divided into two groups according to the random number table method, with 48 patients in each group. The control group was given a modified VAD regimen (vincristine + adriamycin + dexamethasone), and the observation group was given Fuzheng-Peiyuan recipe as an auxiliary VAD regimen. Both groups were treated for 3 cycles. The clinical efficacy, TCM syndrome score, bone pain score, blood creatinine, hemoglobin, blood calcium, M protein, myeloma cells, immune function [Interleukin-2 (IL-2), Interferon-gamma (INF-γ), Interleukin-4 (IL-4), Interleukin-10 (IL-10)] levels and adverse reactions of the two groups were recorded and compared before and after treatment. Results:The total effective rate of the observation group was 81.3% (39/48), and the control group was 62.5% (30/48). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=4.174, P=0.041). The scores of TCM syndromes ( t=4.674, 13.328) and bone pain scores ( t=4.505, 11.398) in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01) at 1 and 3 cycles after treatment; SCr ( t=4.452, 10.039), blood calcium ( t=4.578, 4.155) in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01); HbAlc levels ( t=5.290, 8.871) in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group ( P<0.01); M protein ( t=11.145, 33.812), myeloma cells ( t=6.415, 19.731) in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01); serum IL-2 ( t=4.922, 8.789), INF-γ ( t=5.610, 8.886) in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.01); IL-4 ( t=4.709, 6.784), IL-10 ( t=5.287, 12.823) in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01). During the treatment, the incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was 41.7% (20/48) and that in the control group was 62.5% (30/48). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=4.174, P=0.041). Conclusion:Fuzheng-Peiyuan recipe assisted in improving the VAD regimen in the treatment of MM has a significant clinical effect, which can relieve the clinical symptoms of patients and reduce the degree of bone pain, and promote the reduction of myeloma cells in patients, improve their immune function, and improve the tolerance of chemotherapy.
