Objective:To analyze the current status and trends in the clinical management and outcomes of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in preterm infants <32 weeks′ gestation admitted to the Chinese Neonatal Network (CHNN) from 2019 to 2023.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2024 to January 2025 using the CHNN cohort of very preterm and extremely preterm infants. A total of 30 869 RDS infants with gestational age <32 weeks were admitted within 1 day after birth to CHNN centers from 2019 to 2023. Data on demographics, perinatal management, early complications within 7 days of age, and in-hospital outcomes were collected. Yearly groups were defined by admission year. Trends by year were evaluated by Cochran-Armitage trend test, linear regression model and median regression model.Results:The gestational age at birth of 30 869 RDS infant was 28.9 (27.1, 30.7) weeks and the birth weight was 1 259 (932, 1 586) g. Males account for 56.5% (17 363/30 757). From 2019 to 2023, the prevalence of RDS was 73.8% (5 503/7 461), 74.5% (5 490/7 368), 79.8% (5 884/7 372), 81.6% (6 435/7 889), and 86.0% (7 557/8 789), respectively, showing an increasing trend year by year ( P<0.001). The overall rate of pulmonary surfactant administration was 72.4% (22 359/30 869), fluctuating between 71.2% (5 381/7 557) and 74.3% (4 089/5 503) over the 5-year period. Antenatal corticosteroids were administered to 82.3% (24 357/29 597) mothers of RDS infants and 23.6% (7 218/30 565) RDS infants received noninvasive positive end-expiratory pressure support in the delivery room, both showing a increasing trend over the 5 years (both P<0.001). The incidence of pneumothorax and the use rate of inhaled nitric oxide within 7 days of age were 1.3% (393/30 846) and 1.4% (436/30 869), respectively, both showing increasing trends over the 5 years (both P<0.001). The rate of complete course of antenatal corticosteroids administration was 64.6% (14 458/22 382), the rates of discharge against medical advice and mortality within 7 days of age were 5.3% (1 635/30 869) and 2.7% (724/26 803), respectively, all showing a decreasing trend over time (all P<0.05). Regarding in-hospital outcomes, mortality rate of RDS infants was 4.6% (1 228/26 803), showing a downward trend year by year ( P=0.005). The incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) was 35.0% (9 417/26 919), and the combined incidence of death or BPD was 36.4% (9 763/26 803), both showing an increasing trend year by year (both P<0.001). Conclusions:RDS prevalence increased annually in preterm infants <32 weeks′ gestation from 2019 to 2023, with declining mortality but rising BPD rates. While antenatal steroid use and noninvasive positive end-expiratory pressure support application improved, full-course antenatal steroid compliance decreased. These findings highlight the need for standardized perinatal management protocols to improve the clinical management of RDS.

3.Statins for the treatment and prevention of ischemic stroke:problems to be clarified in clinical practice
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2017;25(10):952-960
With the widespread use of statins, they significantly reduce the risk of ischemic stroke, and are even expected to improve functional outcomes in patients with ischemic stroke. However, there are many problems to be clarified in the treatment and prevention of ischemic stroke with statins in clinical practice. This article discusses this.

Objective In order to study the hemodynamics changes of the Budd Chiari syndrome vascular based on Computer Sim-ulation.Methods Three dimensional reconstruction model is established based on MRA medical images.Then take use of Ansys Fluent software to simulate hemodynamic parameters.Results Budd Chiari syndrome vascular model is established successfully. The hemodynamics changes on/above the vascular confluence of inferior vena cava with three main hepatic veins.Contract to the flow inlet of inferior vena cava,blood pressure becomes larger,the speed becomes slower and shear stress becomes smaller.Conclu-sion The inferior vena venous hemodynamics changes region is almost consistent with inferior vena venous predilection location. The study lays the groundwork for future study of Budd Chiari syndrome negotiations.
