Objective To explore the effect and predictive value of blood lactate level on bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD)in newborns with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome(NRDS).Methods A total of 78 children with NRDS admitted to the First People's Hospital of Pingdingshan from January 2019 to December 2022 were selected as the research subjects.Based on whether they had BPD,the children were divided into a BPD group and a non-BPD group.The general clinical data of the children,including gestational age,gender,birth weight,1-minute Apgar score,5-minute Apgar score,and premature rupture of membranes,were collected.At admission,1 mL of arterial blood was extracted from the children,and the blood lactate level,arterial partial pressure of oxygen(PaO2),arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide(PaCO2),pH value,and oxygenation index(OI)were measured using a JM1113-739853 blood gas analyzer;3 mL of peripheral venous blood was extracted from the children,and the level of interleukin-6(IL-6)in the serum was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,while the levels of C-reactive protein(CRP)and procalcitonin(PCT)in the plasma were detected by double antibody sandwich method.The general information,blood lactate levels,PaO2,PaCO2,pH value,OI,serum IL-6 levels,plasma CRP and PCT levels of children were compared between the two groups.The correlation between blood lactate levels and NRDS complicated with BPD was determined by point-biserial correlation analysis,the influencing factors of NRDS complicated with BPD was analyzed by logistic regression,and the predictive value of blood lactate levels for NRDS complicated with BPD was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve.Results The blood lactate levels of 78 children with RDS ranged from 3.35 to 6.64(5.04±0.72)mmol·L-1.There were 16 children with BPD,with an incidence rate of 20.51％(16/78).The birth weight and OI of children in the BPD group were significantly lower than those in the non-BPD group,while the serum IL-6,plasma CRP,and blood lactate levels were significantly higher than those in the non-BPD group(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in gestational age,gender,1-minute Apgar score,5-minute Apgar score,premature rupture of membranes,PaO2,PaCO2,pH value,and PCT of children between the two groups(P＞0.05).The point-biserial correlation analysis showed that blood lactate,serum IL-6,and plasma CRP levels were positively correlated with the risk of BPD in children with NRDS(r=0.502,0.475,0.507;P＜0.05);while birth weight and OI were negatively correlated with the risk of BPD in children with NRDS(r=-0.242,-0.403;P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that blood lactate accumulation,high expression of serum IL-6,high expression of plasma CRP,and decreased OI were risk factors for BPD in children with NRDS(P＜0.05).The area under the curve for predicting BPD in children with NRDS based on blood lactate was 0.865,with a 95％confidence interval of 0.776 to 0.955;when the cut-off value of blood lactate was 5.065 mmol·L-1,the sensitivity and specificity of predicting BPD in children with NRDS were 0.938 and 0.501,respectively.Conclusion There is a positive correlation between blood lactate levels and the risk of BPD in children with NRDS.Blood lactate accumulation is a risk factor for NRDS complicated with BPD,and blood lactate level has a certain predictive value for NRDS complicated with BPD.

Objective:To explore the epidemiological characteristics and spatiotemporal clustering of foodborne infection of Vibrio ( V.) parahaemolyticus in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, from 2014 to 2022, and provide reference and evidence for the prevention and control of related diseases. Methods:The incidence data on of foodborne infection of V. parahaemolyticus in Ningbo from 2014 to 2022 were collected from Ningbo Foodborne Disease Surveillance System, and the case counts and the positive rates in different districts (counties, cities) were calculated. Spatial autocorrelation analysis and spatiotemporal scanning analysis were conducted to analyze the spatiotemporal clustering of the diseases. Results:A total of 1 822 cases of foodborne infection of V. parahaemolyticus were reported in Ningbo from 2014 to 2022, with an overall positive rate of 3.78%. Spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that the positive rate of foodborne infection of V. parahaemolyticus in Ningbo was unevenly distributed from 2014 to 2022, Ninghai was a high-high clustering area, while Zhenhai was a high-low clustering area, and Jiangbei was a low-low clustering area. The annual incidence was high during July-September. Spatiotemporal scanning analysis found one class Ⅰ spatiotemporal clustering area and three class Ⅱ spatiotemporal clustering areas, with the class Ⅰ spatiotemporal clustering area being observed in Jiangbei and Zhenhai from 2019 to 2022. Conclusions:Spatiotemporal clustering of foodborne infection of V. parahaemolyticus existed in Ningbo from 2014 to 2022, with an annual high incidence period from July to September. The key areas for the prevention and control of foodborne infection of V. parahaemolyticus are coastal districts (counties, cities) in Ningbo.

Objective: To investigate the lunch supply in primary and middle school dining rooms in Ningbo City, so as to provide the scientific evidence for guiding rational dietary supply and improving student health. Methods: A primary school and a junior high school were randomly sampled from each of 10 counties (districts) in Ningbo City. Food receipt and balance, dinner supply and number of students with meals were collected from school dining rooms with questionnaires formulated by Zhejiang Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and all foods in school dining rooms provided by enterprises were sorted and recorded. Daily mean lunch food, energy and nutrient supply was calculated per student, and evaluated with the Student Electronic Nutritionist platform, the 2013 revision of Chinese Dietary Reference Intakes and the national criteria of Nutrition Guidelines of Student Meals (WS/T 554-2017). Results: Six urban primary schools, six urban junior high schools, four rural primary schools and four rural junior high schools were enrolled, and there were two schools with meals provided by enterprises and eighteen schools with meals provided by their dining rooms. Appropriate supply of cereals and potatoes, excessive supply of livestock and poultry meat, vegetable oil and salt, and low supply of fruits, eggs, milk and soybean and nuts were found in primary and junior high school, and notably, milk and fruits were not provided by any rural junior high schools. Excessive energy supply was found in primary schools (excessive energy supply in rural primary schools and appropriate in urban primary schools), and appropriate energy supply was seen in junior high schools. High energy ratios of protein and fat, low energy ratio of carbohydrate, low supply of diatery fiber, vitamin A and calcium, appropriate supply of vitamin B1, B2 and C, and sufficient supply of iron and zinc were found in primary and junior high school. Conclusion Unreasonable dietary structure, excessive energy supply and nutrient imbalance are found in lunch supply by primary and junior high schools in Ningbo City.

Objective:To explore the effect of probiotics on reducing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in sepsis patients.Methods:A total of 94 cases were randomly (random number) divided into the probiotic group ( n = 46) and the control group ( n = 48). All of the patients were given enteral nutrition therapy by nasogastric tube within 24-72 h after admission. And patients in the probiotic group were given live combined bifidobacterium, lactobacillus and enterococcus powder besides the regular therapy. The incidence of VAP, bacteremia, mortality, mechanical ventilation time and length of ICU stay were compared between the two groups. Results:Compared with the control group, the incidences of VAP and bacteremia in the probiotics group were significantly lower (χ 2=4.763, P=0.029; χ 2=4.438, P=0.035). There were no significant differences in 28-day mortality and the length of hospital stay between the two groups (χ 2=2.02, P=0.167; t=1.29, P=0.208). Mechanical ventilation time in the probiotics group was significantly shorter than that in the control group ( t=2.16, P=0.038). The Log-Rank test showed that the time of VAP-free in the probiotics group was significantly longer than that in the control group ( P < 0.05). After adjusting for APACHEⅡ score and age, COX proportional risk model analysis showed that the RR values of the probiotics group and the control group for 28-day VAP were 0.18 (95% CI: 0.12-0.74, P=0.025) and 0.21 (95% CI: 0.19-0.95, P=0.042), respectively. Conclusions:Probiotics treatment can reduce the incidence of VAP in sepsis patients.

METHODS: An HPLC-MS method for simultaneous determination of helicid and its three phase I metabolites were established and validated. At 8:00, 14:00 and 0:00, the rats were given helicid 50 mg/kg by gavage, respectively. Blood samples were collected from ophthalmic venous plexus. Then plasma concentration was measured. Pharmacokinetic behaviors of the original drug and its metabolites after administration at different time points were calculated and compared. RESULTS: This established HPLC-MS/MS method was successfully applied to simultaneous determination of helicid and its three metabolites in rat plasma after intragastric administration. Using AUC

Objective: To compare the clinical effect of conventional polyvinyl chloride (PVC) endotracheal tube with silicone wire reinforced endotracheal tube to prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in mechanical ventilation patients. Methods: A total of 240 mechanical ventilation patients in the ICU were enrolled in this study, which were divided into two groups, PVC endotracheal intubation group (PVC group, n=113) and wire reinforced endotracheal intubation group (WR group, n=127). Gender, age, APACHEⅡ score, one-time success rate of intubation, intubation time, the rate of changing endotracheal, ventilation time, rate of tracheotomy and the incidence of VAP were compare between the two groups. Predictive factors for VAP were identified by the univariate and multivariate analyses in step-wise logistic regression model. Results: The rate of changing endotracheal tube in the PVC group was lower than that in the WR group (χ²=5.785, P=0.016); the mechanical ventilation time in the PVC group was shorter than that in the WR group (t=2.180, P=0.018); and compared with the WR group, the PVC group had significantly lower incidence of VAP (χ²=6.215, P=0.012). The univariate analysis showed that the selection of PVC endotracheal tube, APACHE Ⅱ score and mechanical ventilation time were the significant risk factors for VAP (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the different selection of endotracheal tube and mechanical ventilation time were independent influencing factors of VAP (P < 0.05). Conclusions PVC tracheal tube can effectively reduce the incidence of VAP in patients with mechanical ventilation.

Objective To investigate the effects of Lokomat robotic-assisted gait training combined with drop foot stimulator on gait function in patients with stroke. Methods Thirty-six stroke patients were randomly divided into control group (n=18) and observation group (n=18). Both groups received routine rehabilitation training. The control group accepted Lokomat robotic-assisted gait training, while the ob-servation group worn drop foot stimulator in addition. The training intensity was 30 minutes every day, five days per week for 6 weeks. Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Lower Limb (FMA-LL), Functional Ambulation Category (FAC) and footprint analysis were used to evaluate the motor ability of lower limbs, walking ability and gait before and after training. Results There was no significant difference in the scores of FMA-LL, FAC and gait parameters (walking speed, stride width, stride length difference) before training (t<0.765, Z=0, P>0.05). The scores of FMA-LL, FAC and walking speed improved, and the stride width and stride length difference decreased after training (t>2.190, Z>3.630, P<0.05). After training, the scores of FMA-LL, FAC, walking speed and stride length difference were better in the observation group than in the control group (t>2.030, Z=-2.560, P<0.05), however, there was no significant difference in stride width between two groups (t=0.570, P>0.05). Conclusion Lokomat robotic-assisted gait training combined with foot drop stimulator could improve the lower limb motor func-tion and gait ability in patients with stroke, and the effect might be better than using Lokomat robotic-assisted gait training only.

Objective To investigate the expression of FBXW7 during the development of Notch1induced murine leukemia.Methods Notch1 over-expressing murine model of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia was used to study the expression of FBXW7 by real-time PCR methods.Bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMNC) were isolated on different days after transplantation and CD45.2+ GFP+ leukemia cells were sorted by flow cytometry at late stage.The expression changes of FBXW7 were tested by real-time PCR.Results The mouse bone marrow cells both from leukemia and control groups expressed FBXW7.Different expression patterns of FBXW7 were observed during the development of leukemia. The expression of FBXW7 was gradually increased in control group, whereas the expression level of FBXW7 in leukemia group was decreased steadily and reached one-sixth of that in control group on 12th day.Furthermore,lower expression level of FBXW7 was observed in CD45+.2 GFP+ leukemia cells.Conclusion Decreased expression of FBXW7 is observed in Notch1-induced mouse leukemia model,suggesting that the abnormal ubiquitin degradation pathway mediated by FBXW7 might contribute to the leukemogenesis in Notch1-induced murine leukemia model.

Objective To investigate the anti-inflammatory/immune modulatory effects of high-expressing membrane bound M-CSF-hematopoietic malignant cells on macrophages. Methods After coculturing RAW264.7 and murine macrophage cell line with Namalwa-M, a cell line stably expressing mM-CSF, and companing with Nainalwa-V, a cell line stably transfected with the empty vector as the control, flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of the marker of alternatively activated macrophages, CD206, and intracellular expression of IL-10, IL-12, IL-6 and TNF-α to study the immunophenotype of RAW264.7; phagocytic assays to investigate their functional activity in vitro. Results RAW264.7 cocultured with Namalwa-M consistently showed high-level expression of CD206, which indicated activities of these macrophage cells were increased. Furthermore, these RAW264.7 expressing high levels of IL-10, TNF-a and low levels of IL-12, IL-6, as determined by intracellular staining were suggested that the phagocytic activity was increased. Functionally, RAW264.7 cocultured with Namalwa-M showed a higher level of phagocytic activity. Conclusion Macrophage generated in vitro after cocultured with mM-CSF-expressing hematopoietic malignant cell line could be transformed into abnormal macrophage with an immunophenotype defined as IL-10-high, IL-12-low, IL-6-low and TNF-α-high.
