Objective To evaluate the efficacy of nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (nIPPV) in preventing extubation failure in very low birth weight infants (VLBWI) compared with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP).Methods A single-center randomized controlled trial was conducted from Jun 2012 to Jun 2013 in the NICU of Children's Hospital of Hebei Province.Eighty-four cases of VLBWI (birth weight 700 ～ 1 500 g,gestational age 27 ～ 32 weeks) with respiratory failure and subjected to mechanical ventilation were eligible for the study if they needed non-invasive,assisted ventilation at the time of first extubation attempt.They were randomly assigned to receive nIPPV (40 cases) or nCPAP (44 cases) according to random number table method,using the rate of successful extubation as primary outcome.Blood gas data were obtained and PaO2,PaCO2,FiO2,PaO2/FiO2 were monitored at 0 h,24 h,48 h and 72 h after extubation as enrollment for oxygenation and duration,the rate of successful extubation and the incidence of adverse events including frequent apnea,bronchopulmonary dysplasia,intraventricular hemorrhage,periventricular leukomalacia and retinopathy of prematurity and mortality as secondary outcomes.Results There were no significant differences in the baseline characteristics including the proportion of primary disease,sex,weight,gestational age,score for neonatal acute physiology and application of pulmonary surfactant between nIPPV group and nCPAP group (P ＞ 0.05).There were no significant differences in PaO2,PaCO2 and PaO2/FiO2 ratio between the two groups at 0 h of enrollment (P ＞ 0.05).The values of PaO2 and PaO2/FiO2 ratio in nIPPV group were significantly higher[48 h:PaO2:(63.2 ± 3.6) mmHg vs (52.3 ±6.7) mmHg,PaO2/FiO2:(243.2 ±32.8) mmHg vs (187.6 ±34.0) mmHg;72 h:PaO2:(66.4 ±5.8) mmHg vs (51.8±5.9) mmHg,PaO2/EO2:(280.6 ± 16.8) mmHg vs (245.2 ±40.5) mrnHg;1 rnmHg =0.133 kPa],whereas PaCO2 lower[48 h:(40.3 ±4.8) mmHg vs (49.2 ±6.6) mmHg,72 h:(42.2 ±5.6) mmHg vs (57.3 ± 6.9) mmHg],than nCPAP group at 48 h and 72 h after extubation (P ＜ 0.05).The oxygenation status in nIPPV group were significantly improved at 48 h and 72 h after extubation compared with the intra-group data at 0 h (P ＜ 0.05).The total ventilation time was shorter in nIPPV group than nCPAP group[(130.9 ±46.7) h vs (180.5 ±50.1) h,P ＜0.05],but the oxygen exposure time had no significant difference[(190.6 ± 45.2) h vs (216.8 ± 54.4) h,P ＞ 0.05].The rate of successful extubation in nIPPV group was significantly higher as compared with nCPAP group[92.5％ (37/40) vs 75.0％ (33/44),P ＜ 0.05].The incidence of frequent apnea and bronchopulmonary dysplasia in nIPPV was lower than nCPAP group[15.0％ (6/40) vs 34.1％ (15/44) ;2.5％ (1/40) vs 15.9％ (7/44),P ＜ 0.05].There were no significant differences in the incidence of severe intraventricular hemorrhage,perivenwicular leukomalacia,retinopathy of prematurity,late of infections,necrotizing enterocolitis,patent ductus arteriosus,patent ductus arteriosus operation and mortality before discharge between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion nIPPV after extubation in VLBWI has beneficial effects as compared with nCPAP in improving oxygenation,shortening noninvasive ventilation time,improving the rate of successful extubation,and can reduce the incidence of frequent apnea and bronchial pulmonary dysplasia in VLBWI.

Objective To sum up the experiences in the prevention and treatment of systemic infection after burn injury. Methods 309 burn patients with systemic infection treated in our department from January 1990 to December 2003 were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into two groups according to their hospitalized time: group 1(from 1990 to 1996) and group 2(from 1997 to 2003). The incidence and mortality of systemic infection were compared between the two groups, and the efficacy of different treatment strategies was analyzed. Results The morbidity of postburn systemic infection in the patients was 6.98%(309/4430). The incidence and mortality of systemic infection were 5.68% and 0.30% in the group 2, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the group 1. Conclusion Rapid and adequate fluid resuscitation for burnshock, effective control of wound infection, early excision of crust and skin grafting for deep burnwounds, and reinforcement of organ support were key factors to decrease the incidence of systemic infection and increase the curative frequency. Once burn wound sepsis occurred, prompt removal of infectious necrotic tissues was a key means to ensure a good clinical outcome.

Objective To observe the effect of Zhuyun Capsule(Pregnant-promoting Capsule)on serum sex hormone and expres- sion of ovarian cytokine of polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)rats.Methods Progestogen plus human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG)was adopted to make PCOS rat models.Totally 40 SD rats were randomized into control group,PCOS model group,Zhuyun Capsule group,and clomiphene citrate group with 10 in each.Radioimmune assay(RIA)was used to measure the sex hormone and immunohistochemical test was done to measure the expression of tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?)of ovarian tissue,insulin-like growth factors-1(IGF-1),and leukemia inhibitory factor(LIF)to analyze the relations among these factors.Results Zhuyun Capsule could reduce greatly serum testosterone(T)and luteinizing hormone(LH),decrease expression of TNF-?and IGF-1,but increase expres- sion of LIF.Conclusion Zhuyun Capsule could regulate endocrine function and expression of ovarian cytokine to improve gonad func- tions of PCOS rats and to promote the maturation of follicle and ovulation.

Contents in orthopaedic are independent relatively and finding out the internal relations during them is helpful to improving the effect of orthopaedic teaching.Transfer theory is important tools for clinical teaching practice,and finding out the common characteristics between the orthopaedic chapters is primary for the theory.This research focuses on the following fields:fractures,nerve injury,infection,tumor and deformity.After the common characteristics between these chapters were analyzed and discussed,we concluded that the transfer theory is helpful in orthopaedic teaching practice,especially for students' comprehension and memory,but still we should avoid some negative effects in teaching process.

There are many subjects related to anesthesiology and the band between anesthesiology and clinical practicevery is close. So students can not be proficient in anesthesiology by traditional teaching methods. The use of three-dimensional case teaching method in anaesthesiology teaching is a good attemptment. three-dimensional case teaching method integrate case method, multimedia technology and clinical case. It can help medical students analyze and solve clinical problems, improvetheir academic performance and enhance their clinical basic skills.

Objective To evaluate the values of CD64 expression in diagnosis of infected patients referred to intensive care unit.Method Sixty febrile children referred to the hospital intensive care unit from 2009.11 to 2010.03 were enrolled for a retrospective study.Fever was defined as a body temperature reaching 38℃ or higher with specifically bacterial infection or highly suspected with bacterial infection or viral infection.There were 28 patients with bacterial infection and 32 with viral infection.The non-infectious diseases such as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and Kawasaki disease were excluded.The controls were 50 healthy children asking for physical examination.On admission,CD64 were measured by using flow cytometry,and blood routine examination,ESR,PCT,blood cultures and sputum cultures were simultaneously detected in all febrile patients.Data were statistically analyzed by using SAS 16.0 software.Data are given as means±SE.Categorical variables were analyzed using X2 test and continuous variables were compared by applying paired 1-tailed t test,Significance level was set at less than 0.05.Results of them,57.1%bacterial infection patients and 71.9%viral infection patients contracted pneumonia.CD64 in bacterial infection patients、viral infection patients and the subjects of control group were(12.6±9.7),(5.4±2.42)and (2.9±0.77),respectively.The CD64 in the bacterial infection patients were significantly higher than those in the virus infection patients(F=11.002,P=0.004).Conclusions CD64 in infected children referred to a hospital intensive care unit can be clearly distinguished between bacterial infections and viral infections, providing an important guidance and a flexible strategy for clinical treatment and determine the timing of withdrawal.
