Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of individualized postural management guided by lung ultrasound (LUS) in neonates with grade Ⅲ bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).Methods:This prospective randomized controlled trial enrolled neonates diagnosed with grade Ⅲ BPD at Guangdong Second People's Hospital Affiliated to Jinan University from July 2022 to December 2024, who were randomly assigned to control or intervention groups. The control group received conventional postural management (head elevation 15°-30°, supine-left lateral-right lateral-prone positioning with 2-hour rotations), while the intervention group underwent additional LUS examinations every 12 hours for dynamic posture adjustment based on pulmonary findings. Outcomes included LUS signs (pleural line abnormalities, A-line disappearance, B-line increases, cystic hyperaeration, alveolar-interstitial syndrome, consolidation) and primary endpoints (post-diagnosis oxygen therapy duration, invasive mechanical ventilation duration, and hospital stay). Secondary outcomes comprised new complications (pulmonary hemorrhage, necrotizing enterocolitis, BPD-associated pulmonary hypertension, grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ intracranial hemorrhage, retinopathy of prematurity). Intergroup comparisons used two independent samples t-tests and Chi square tests. Results:Among 49 eligible neonates, 47 were randomized (intervention group=24; control group=23), with 40 completing the study (20 per group after exclusions). At day 7, the intervention group showed significantly lower rates of pleural line abnormalities [55% (11/20) vs. 90% (18/20), χ2=6.14, P=0.013], A-line disappearance [50% (10/20) vs. 80% (16/20), χ2=3.95, P=0.046], B-line increases [50% (10/20) vs. 85% (17/20), χ2=5.58, P=0.018], alveolar-interstitial syndrome [65% (13/20) vs. 95% (19/20), χ2=5.62, P=0.017], and consolidation [50% (10/20) vs. 80% (16/20), χ2=3.95, P=0.046]. The intervention group also demonstrated shorter invasive ventilation [(9.5±2.3) vs. (11.6±3.5) days, t=2.18, P=0.035] and hospital stay [(58.9±4.9) vs. (63.2±6.4) days, t=2.33, P=0.025] post-diagnosis, with no significant differences in new complication rates (all P>0.05). Conclusion:LUS-guided postural management improves pulmonary pathology, reduces respiratory support duration and hospitalization, without increasing complications in grade Ⅲ BPD neonates.

Objective To investigate serum levels of Zonulin and Claudin-5 in patients with schizophrenia (SZ) and their relationship with the severity of psychiatric symptoms. Methods 98 patients with SZ treated in the Third Hospital of Heilongjiang Province form April 2019 to April 2022 were selected as the SZ group,and 50 healthy people who underwent physical examination were selected as the control group. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect serum levels of Zonulin and Claudin-5. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between serum Zonulin and Claudin-5 levels and clinical parameters in patients with SZ. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for SZ. Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to analyze the diagnostic value of serum Zonulin and Claudin-5 for SZ. Results The serum level of Zonulin in SZ group(7.91±0.52μg/L)was higher than that in control group (2.31±0.24μg/L),and the serum level of Claudin-5(12.17±2.34ng/L)was lower than that in control group(26.78±5.15 ng/L),the differences were statistically significant (t=72.235,23.740,all P<0.05).The total scores of Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS) score,positive and negative symptom scores,general psychiatric symptom scores was positively correlated with serum Zonulin (r=0.660~0.720,all P<0.05),and negatively correlated with serum Claudin-5 (r=-0.720~-0.622,all P<0.05).Serum Zonulin,PANSS total score,positive symptom score and general psychopathology symptom score were risk factors for SZ,and Claudin-5 was a protective factor (all P<0.05).The AUC(95%CI)of serum Zonulin and Claudin-5 combined for SZ diagnosis was 0.932(0.891~0.959),which was higher than that of serum Zonulin and Claudin-5 single diagnosis were 0.814(0.779~0.847),0.846(0.811~0.882),respectively,and the differences were statistically significant (Z=5.145,4.210,all P<0.05). Conclusion The increase in serum Zonulin levels and the decrease in Claudin-5 levels in SZ patients are related to the severity of their mental symptoms. The combined detection of serum Zonulin and Claudin-5 has high diagnostic value for SZ.

Objective To observe the effect of cluster emergency nursing in treating patients with chlorfenapyr poisoning. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the treatment and nursing processes of 6 patients with chlorfenapyr poisoning. Results Among the 6 patients with chlorfenapyr poisoning, 5 cases were orally poisoned and one case was poisoned by respiratory tract and skin absorption of toxins. All of the 6 patients with chlorfenapyr poisoning were treated through the green channel for poisoning treatment, and multidisciplinary cooperation cluster treatment and nursing as well as toxicant detection were carried out. One patient was excluded because no chlorfenapyr component was detected in the toxicant detection; the remaining 5 patients had different degrees of fever, fatigue, nausea and vomiting and other symptoms in the early stage, and among them, 4 patients had high fever and aggravated degree of consciousness disturbance in the later stage of the disease, and died of ineffective treatment for 2 to 11 days after poisoning (one patient was out of contact and was expected to die), with a mortality rate of 80%. Conclusion There is no specific antidote for chlorfenapyr poisoning, and the mortality rate is extremely high. After poisoning, blood, urine and other specimens should be collected as soon as possible for toxic examination. At the same time, early gastric lavage (within 6 hours), intestinal adsorption, gastrointestinal catharsis, enema and other symptomatic treatments should be given. Continuous blood purification should be performed as soon as possible to remove blood toxins, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation can be performed if conditions permit.
