Objective:To analyze the status of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) management in 10 hospitals in Northwest China over the past five years and to investigate the strategies for improving the prevention and treatment of RDS.Methods:This retrospective study involved premature infants with RDS who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care units (NICU) of 10 hospitals (six in Shaanxi Province, three in Gansu Province, and one in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region) of the Northwest China Neonatal Collaborative Group within 3 d after birth from January 1 to December 31, 2016, and from January 1 to December 31, 2021. Basic information, perinatal condition, treatment approaches, complications, and prognosis of the patients were compared. T-test, rank sum, and Chi-square tests were used for statistical analysis. Result:(1) This study enrolled 322 premature infants with RDS in 2016 and 349 in 2021. Premature infants at the gestational age of 30 to 33 weeks were mainly affected, and the majority were male [64.3% (207/322) and 57.3% (200/349)]. The average maternal age in 2021 was older than that in 2016 [(30.6±4.8) years vs (28.6±5.4) years, t=24.02, P<0.001], and the proportion of women at advanced maternal age was also higher in 2021 [19.2% (67/349) vs 12.4% (40/322), χ2=4.18, P<0.05]. (2) The proportions of pregnancies conceived with assisted reproductive technologies [11.7% (41/349) vs 1.9% (6/322), χ2=25.12], underwent routine prenatal examinations [58.5% (204/349) vs 30.4% (98/322), χ2=53.33], exposed to steroids [62.2% (217/349) vs 28.6% (92/322), χ2=82.58] and delivered by cesarean section or elective cesarean section [73.6% (257/349) vs 51.6% (166/322), χ2=35.06; 24.1% (84/349) vs 6.5% (21/322), χ2=39.07], as well as the ratio of cesarean scar pregnancy [7.4% (26/349) vs 3.4% (11/322), χ2=5.23] were all higher in 2021 than those in 2016 (all P<0.05). Moreover, the incidence of fetal distress [30.1% (105/349) vs 20.2% (65/322), χ2=8.68], gestational hypertension [24.6% (86/349) vs 13.0% (42/322), χ2=14.59], premature rupture of membranes [16.0% (56/349) vs 10.2% (33/322), χ2=4.89], meconium-stained amniotic fluid [12.6% (44/349) vs 5.6% (18/322), χ2=9.83], placental abruption [10.3% (36/349) vs 5.3% (17/322), χ2=5.84], gestational diabetes mellitus [10.3% (36/349) vs 1.6%(5/322), χ2=22.41], chorioamnionitis [4.6%(16/349) vs 0.9% (3/322), χ2=8.12], thyroid dysfunction [4.3% (15/349) vs 0.6% (2/322), χ2=7.88] and heart disease [4.3% (15/349) vs 0.3% (1/322), χ2=9.17] were higher in 2021 than in 2016 (all P<0.05). (3) In 2021, the rate of pulmonary surfactant (PS) usage, the dosage of porcine PS, and the proportion of bovine PS usage were all significantly higher than those in 2016 [73.6% (257/349) vs 67.1% (216/322), χ2=11.62; (178.5±38.0) mg/kg vs (165.2±42.8) mg/kg, t=7.85; 47.9% (123/257) vs 19.4% (42/216), χ2=41.72; all P<0.01]. No significant difference in the incidence of intubation-surfactant-extubation (INSURE), early PS administration (≤2 h after birth), or the arterial blood gas values before and after PS treatment was found between the cases enrolled in 2021 and 2016. The duration of antibiotic treatment [7.0 d (5.0-14.0 d) vs 5.0 d (1.0-8.0 d), Z=7.55] and assisted ventilation [144 h (81-264 h) vs 73 h (47-134 h), Z=8.20] and the median hospital stay [24 d(14-42 d) vs 16 d (10-25 d), Z=6.74] were significantly longer in 2021 than in 2016 (all P<0.01). More patients required nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation [29.6% (100/338) vs 1.0% (3/306), χ2=97.81] and conventional ventilation [42.6% (144/338) vs 30.1% (92/306), χ2=10.87] in 2021 as compared with those five years ago (both P<0.01). (4) In 2021, the incidence of patent ductus arteriosus [15.5% (54/349) vs 6.2% (20/322), χ2=63.40], bronchopulmonary dysplasia [9.2% (32/349) vs 2.8% (9/322), χ2=12.88], persistent pulmonary hypertension [5.4% (19/349) vs 0.6% (2/322), χ2=12.85], periventricular leukomalacia [4.3% (15/349) vs 1.2% (4/322), χ2=7.52] and pneumothorax [3.4% (12/349) vs 0.3% (1/322), χ2=9.68] increased as compared with those in 2016 (all P<0.05), while the incidence of nosocomial infection decreased significantly [7.4% (26/349) vs 19.6% (63/322), χ2=21.37, P<0.001]. (5) The cure rate of premature infants with RDS was 70.8% (247/349) in 2021, which was significantly higher than that in 2016 [56.2% (181/322), χ2=15.37, P<0.001]. Moreover, the rate of withdrawing treatment and the total mortality rate was lower in 2021 than in 2016 [7.7% (27/349) vs 14.3% (46/322), χ2=7.41; in-hospital: 1.4% (5/349) vs 5.6% (18/322), χ2=8.74; out of hospital: 8.3% (29/349) vs 13.7% (44/322), χ2=4.96; all P<0.05]. Conclusions:The clinical management of RDS in premature infants in the involved hospitals has been improved. However, there is room for improvement in prenatal examinations.

Objective:To explore the dance movement therapy on nutritional status and muscle strength in older patients with sarcopenia.Methods:A total of 35 older sarcopenia patients from May 2019 to April 2020 in Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University were enrolled as the intervention group with dance movement therapy; another 35 older sarcopenia patients from May 2018 to April 2019 were selected as control group with routine exercise intervention. Nutritional indicators and muscle strength were compared between two groups on admission, at 1, 3, 6 months after intervention.Results:At 3, 6 months after intervention, hemoglobin and body mass index were (124.10 ± 16.59) g/L, (128.33 ± 14.50) g/L and (21.40 ± 1.87) kg/m 2, (21.40 ± 1.87) kg/m 2 in the intervention group, higher than in the control group (116.03 ± 12.23) g/L, (120.09 ± 11.34) g/L and (20.03 ± 1.93) kg/m 2, (19.97 ± 1.99) kg/m 2. The differences were statistically significant ( t values were 2.17-2.84, all P<0.05). At 6 months after intervention, serum albumin was (33.73 ± 5.23) g/L in the intervention group, significantly higher than that in the control group (30.88 ± 5.17) g/L, the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.16, P<0.05). At 3, 6 months after intervention, muscle strength were (21.63 ± 1.54) kg, (23.17 ± 1.72) kg and short physical performance battery scores were 7.83 ± 1.56, 7.47 ± 1.59 in the intervention group, significantly higher than in the control group (19.66 ± 2.50) kg, (20.91 ± 2.83) kg and 6.59 ± 1.64, 5.97 ± 1.49, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 3.05-3.83, all P<0.05). At 6 months after intervention, appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI) was (6.03 ± 1.47) kg/m 2 in the intervention group, significantly higher than (5.13 ± 1.36) kg/m 2 in the control group, the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.52, P<0.05). Conclusions:Dance movement therapy can improve the nutritional status and muscle strength of older patients with sarcopenia.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and correlation of adult primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) with thyroid dysfunction,and early identify high-risk adult PNS patients with abnormal thyroid function by clinical data.Methods The clinical data of 101 adult PNS patients in Heji Hospital Affiliated to Changzhi Medical College from March 2015 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the thyroid function,the patients were divided into 2 groups:normal thyroid function group (67 cases) and thyroid dysfunction group (34 cases),including 9 cases with low triiodothyronine (T3) syndrome and 25 cases with subclinical hypothyroidism.The clinical data were compared,and the correlation between thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and 24 h urinary protein,blood albumin and systolic blood pressure were analyzed.Results The incidence of thyroid dysfunction in adult PNS patients was 33.66％ (34/101),including 21 cases of membranous nephropathy,8 cases of minimal change disease,4 cases of IgA nephropathy and 1 case of membranoproliferative nephritis.The 24 h urinary protein in thyroid dysfunction group was significantly higher than that in normal thyroid function group:(8.76 ± 3.62) g vs.(6.96 ± 3.43) g,the albumin was significantly lower than that in normal thyroid function group:(21.82 ± 4.89) g/L vs.(24.49 ± 4.14) g/L,and there were statistical differences (P＜0.05 or ＜0.01);there was no significant difference in gender composition,age,course of disease,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,body mass index,hemoglobin,platelet,creatinine,cystatin C,fasting blood glucose,total cholesterol,triacylglycerol,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),fibrinogen,complement C3,IgG,IgM,IgA,PNS types and comorbidities between 2 groups (P＞0.05).The results of subgroup analysis results showed that the systolic blood pressure in subclinical hypothyroidism patients of thyroid dysfunction group was significantly higher than that in normal thyroid function group and the low T3 syndrome patients of thyroid dysfunction group:(148.16 ± 18.09) mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa) vs.(139.55 ± 18.77) and (127.78 ± 16.81) mmHg,the 24 h urinary protein was significantly higher than that in normal thyroid function group:(9.00 ± 3.64) g vs.(6.96 ± 3.43) g,the albumin was significantly lower than that in normal thyroid function group:(21.71 ± 5.26) g/L vs.(24.49 ± 4.14) g/L,and there were statistical differences (P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis result showed that TSH had no correlation with 24 h urinary protein and systolic blood pressure (r =0.193 and 0.072,P =0.053 and 0.472);however TSH was negatively correlated with albumin (r =-0.340,P =0.001).Conelusions In adult PNS patients with thyroid dysfunction,membranous nephropathy is the most common,followed by minimal change disease.The systolic blood pressure in PNS patients with subclinical hypothyroidism is significantly higher than that in patients with normal thyroid function and low T3 syndrome.In adult PNS patients,the lower the blood albumin is,the more likely they have thyroid dysfunction.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and drug sensitivity of non-typhoid salmonella in Zhongshan city.Methods We collected the positive cases of non-typhoid salmonella in children of Zhongshan city from 2013 to 2015.The sex,age,place of residence,onset time and main serum type of these cases were collected.The characteristics of the cases were described by descriptive epidemiologi-cal study.Results From 2013 to 2015,3 040 stool specimens from patients with enteritis were collected and 402 strain of non-typhoid salmonella were separated out. The total detection rate was 13.22%,the annual detection rate were 10.26%,12.21% and 16.76%,respectively.The peak period was from July to August every year.Of the 402 children,240 were male,162 were female,and the ratio was 1.48:1.The minimum age was 1 month,the maximum was 5 years and 8 months,the mean age was 13.62 months.All patients were characterized by diarrhea and fever,including 64 cases of bloody stool and 1 case of sepsis.The most com-mon serotypes were 4,5,12:i:-and 4,12:i:-.The resistant strains were salmonella typhimurium and variety salmonella typhimurium strains.From 2013 to 2015,the resistance rate of ceftriaxone and ceftazidime in non-typhoid salmonella isolates increased linearly (ceftriaxone: 17.35%, 26.23%, 39.01%; ceftazidime:12.24%,17.21%,30.77%).The differences were statistically significant(χ2=30.3,P<0.01;χ2=26.3, P<0.01).Conclusion The positive rate of nontyphoid salmonella increased year by year from 2013 to 2015.The most common serotype was salmonella typhimurium, and the resistant strains were salmonella typhimurium and salmonella typhimurium variety.The resistance rate of non-typhoid salmonella to ceftriaxone and ceftazidime increased year by year,and the highest rate of ceftazidime resistance was in July 2015.Non-typhoid salmonella was more resistant to ceftriaxone than ceftazidime.

As a common complication in patients with sepsis, cardiac dysfunction may significantly increase mortality of these patients, but its mechanism is still unclear. Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) is a pleiotropic transcription inducing factor, which involves in the regulation of multiple biological phenomena and disease status. NF-κB activation participates in cardiomyocyte apoptosis, cardiomyocyte autophagy, and release of inflammatory cytokines in patients with sepsis, indicating its important role in sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for clinical rational drug use. METHODS:Medication error(ME)cases report-ed from outpatient department from Oct. 2014 to Sept. 2015 in our hospital were analyzed,including ME category,classification, cause and proportion of persons who triggered or detected ME. RESULTS:Among 207 reports,there was no case of category A, 199 cases of category B,8 cases of category C,no of categories D-I. Among them,162 cases occurred in the links of prescrip-tions by doctors (78.26%),45 cases (21.74%) occurred in the links of dispensing prescriptions by pharmacists,the top 3 ME were improper usage(42.59%),improper administration route(40.74%)and inappropriate solvent(5.56%);the top 3 dispensing errors were variety error(40.00%),specification error(28.89%)and number errors(24.44%). The main causes for prescription errors were incomplete information system(56.17%)and drug information missing of doctors(43.83%);the main causes for dis-pensing errors were double specifications of drugs(35.56%),similar drug name(28.89%)and staffsntired(26.67%). In terms of the persons who triggered ME,the proportions of pharmacists,nurses,patients or their families were 97.58%,1.45% and 0.97%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS:Further strengthening information system and the on-the-job training for physicians and pharmacists can reduce the ME to some extent.

Objective To improve the quality,efficacy,and efficiency of health checkup by establishing and implementing total quality management system.Methods Routine physical examination data of 5955 individuals (from January 2007 to May 2007,when total quality management system was not implemented) were analyzed and compared with 7520 individuals (from January 2008 to May 2008.when the system was implemented).Results The report quality of routine physical examination was significantly improved,and the qualification rate was increased from 82.6% to 98.2%.The healthcare service procedure was optimized.The examination time for the essential items was shoaened from 51 to 35 minutes.The result report time was reduced from 5 to only 1 day.The customer satisfaction rate Was increased from 86.3% to 98.1%; however,the suing rate Was decreased from 0.05% to 0.01%.The examination efficiency was significantly improved.The growth rate of checkup recipients was increased from 7.22% to 26.38%.There Was statistical significance before and after the implementation of the total quality management system (P

Objective To investigate the effects of on-pump and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting on plasma adrenomedullin (ADM) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) levels before and after operation in elderly patients. Methods Elderly patients aged 60 years and over with coronary artery bypass grafting were enrolled in the study and divided into off-pump group and on-pump group, each group had 20 cases. Blood samples were collected before surgery, immediately after operation and 6,24 hours, 3 days after operation. The plasma levels of ADM and ET-1 were dectecded by radio immunoassay. Results The levels of ADM and ET-1 were significantly increased immediately after operation in 2 groups of on-and off-pump. The levels of ET-1 in on-pump group and off-pump group were (67.59±10.18) ng/L and (58.73±9.64) ng/L respectively. The levels of ADM in on-and off-groups were (284.90±36.24) ng/L and (243.25±25.70) ng/L. This showed that in on-pump group, the plasma levels of ADM and ET-1 increased more significantly(P＜0.05). The plasma levels of ADM and ET-1 began to decline at 6 hours after operation, and continued to 24 hours after operation. On 3 days after operation, the plasma levels of ADM and ET-1 in off-pump group returned to the preoperative level, but they were still maintained at a high level in on-pump group.Conclusions For elderly patients, both on-pump and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting can cause endothelial dysfunction, increasing plasma levels of ET-1 and ADM. But compared with the on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting, the off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting has less influence.
