[Summary] Lifestyle intervention is one of the important strategies for the prevention of type 2 diabetes. Recently, caloric restriction regimen has become a hot topic as one of the cornerstone of lifestyle intervention. The alternate day fasting regimen is simple, and increases the patient compliance. Both daily calorie restriction and alternate day fasting regimen can reduce body-weight significantly in pre-diabetes subjects, and reduce the visceral fat mass and the fasting insulin levels, and improve the insulin sensitivity, as well as maintain the lean mass, though the effect on fasting blood glucose was not significant. Nevertheless, the most recent studies have demonstrated that daily calorie restriction,in particular, alternate day fasting regimens can be effective in individuals with pre-diebates in order to prevent type 2 diabetes.

Lithium carbonate is a fundamental drug used in the management of acute mania and prophylaxis of bipolar disorders.It has been found that some patients on lithium carbonate therapy developed hypothyroidism.Therefore,this medication becomes a second-line choice for the treatment of patients with hyperthyoidism,though no standardized protocol has been approved.It remains worthwhile to investigate the efficacy and safety profiles of lithium carbonate in the management of hyperthyroidism.

OBJECTIVETo understand the effect of lung recruitment maneuver (LRM) with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on oxygenation and outcomes in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) ventilated by proportional assist ventilation (PAV).

METHODFrom January 2012 to June 2013, thirty neonates with a diagnosis of RDS who required mechanical ventilation were divided randomly into LRM group (n=15, received an LRM and surport by PAV) and control group (n=15, only surport by PAV). There were no statistically significant differences in female (7 vs. 6); gestational age [(29.3±1.2) vs. (29.5±1.1) weeks]; body weight[(1,319±97) vs. (1,295±85) g]; Silverman Anderson(SA) score for babies at start of ventilation (7.3±1.2 vs. 6.9±1.4); initial FiO2 (0.54±0.12 vs. 0.50±0.10) between the two groups (all P>0.05). LRM entailed increments of 0.2 cmH2O (1 cmH2O=0.098 kPa) PEEP every 5 minutes, until fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2)=0.25. Then PEEP was reduced and the lung volume was set on the deflation limb of the pressure/volume curve.When saturation of peripheral oxygen fell and FiO2 rose, we reincremented PEEP until SpO2 became stable. The related clinical indicators of the two group were observed.

RESULTThe doses of surfactant administered (1.1±0.3 vs. 1.5±0.5, P=0.027), Lowest FiO2 (0.29±0.05 vs. 0.39±0.06, P=0.000), time to lowest FiO2[ (103±18) vs. (368±138) min, P=0.000] and O2 dependency [(7.6±1.0) vs.( 8.8±1.3) days, P=0.021] in LRM group were lower than that in control group (all P<0.05). The maximum PEEP during the first 12 hours of life [(8.4±0.8) vs. (6.8±0.8) cmH2O, P=0.000] in LRM group were higher than that in control group (P<0.05). FiO2 levels progressively decreased (F=35.681, P=0.000) and a/AO2 Gradually increased (F=37.654, P=0.000). No adverse events and no significant differences in the outcomes were observed.

CONCLUSIONLRM can reduce the doses of pulmonary surfactant administered, time of the respiratory support and the oxygen therapy in preterm children with RDS.
