Objective:To study the correlation of serum tenascin C (TNC) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) comorbid pulmonary hypertension (PH) in preterm infants.Methods:From January 2017 to June 2020, preterm infants (gestational age<32 weeks) diagnosed of severe BPD admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of our hospital were prospectively studied. Comorbidity of PH was evaluated using echocardiography and the infants were assigned into PH (+) group and PH (-) group. At the same time, serum TNC was examined and the correlation between serum TNC level and PH in infants with severe BPD was analyzed.Results:A total of 59 infants with severe BPD were enrolled, including 21 cases comorbid PH (35.6%). The serum TNC level in the PH (+) group was significantly higher than the PH (-) group [(123.7±41.1) ng/ml vs. (78.2±20.2) ng/ml, P<0.05]. Correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between the serum TNC level and systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP) ( r=0.861, P<0.001).The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of serum TNC predicting BPD comorbid PH was 0.884. The sensitivity and specificity of serum TNC predicting BPD comorbid PH were 84.0% and 76.9% with TNC≥87.7 ng/ml as the cut-off. Conclusions:Severe BPD comorbid PH is common. The serum TNC level in infants with severe BPD comorbid PH is increased and positively correlated with sPAP. The serum TNC level has certain clinical value in predicting and evaluating the severity of BPD comorbid PH.

Objective:To investigate the change and clinical significance of serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) level in patients with acute spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage(AICH).Methods:81 patients with AICH admitted to the Neurosurgery Department of Tianjin Third Central Hospital from January 2019 to October 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. 81 patients with non cerebral hemorrhage who came from the health examination center or complained of dizziness and had no hepatobiliary and skeletal diseases were selected as the control group. The clinical data of all the patients were recorded, including gender, age, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, hemorrhage location, liver function indexes, the history of hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, smoking, drinking, and so on. The differences in clinical data between the two groups were compared. Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between liver function indexes and GCS score. The independent risk factors for AICH were screened by binary logistic regression, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the value of serum ALP in predicting intracerebral hemorrhage.Results:Serum ALP level in AICH group was significantly higher than that in the control group [85.0(70.0, 103.0) U/L vs 65.0(54.5, 71.5)U/L, Z=6.740, P<0.001]. Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum ALP had a negative correlation with GCS score ( r=0.255, P=0.022). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension ( OR=20.440, 95% CI 8.572-48.737) and ALP ( OR=1.077, 95% CI 1.049-1.105) were risk factors for intracerebral hemorrhage. Serum ALP level was an independent risk factor ( OR=1.069, 95% CI 1.038-1.101) for AICH after adjusting for confounding variables including age, AST, history of hypertension. ROC curve showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of serum ALP in predicting intracerebral hemorrhage was 0.807 (95% CI 0.740-0.873, P<0.001), with sensitivity of 67.9% and specificity of 81.5%. Conclusions:Serum ALP level may be related to the occurrence and severity of AICH. Therefore, serum ALP level can be used as a reference index to evaluate the occurrence, severity of patients with AICH.

Standards for Prescription Review in Medical Institutions puts forward higher requirements for the pharmacists' ability to review prescriptions, and the dispensing pharmacist should review the legality, standardization, and suitability of the prescription. Centralized training helps to improve the pharmaceutical care capacity and promote the rational use of drugs in hospitals. The centralized training course system designed by our hospital includes four modules: laws and regulations, prescription suitability review for drugs commonly used in each department, prescription suitability review for drugs used in the special population, and prescription suitability review for specialty drugs. The training system has the characteristics of homogeneity and standardization. A combination of theoretical courses and practical exercises, as well as the introduction of problem-based learning and case-based learning, holds promise for application in the training of dispensing pharmacists.

Objective To study the pulmonary surfactant (PS) on prevention of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) in neonates delivered via caesarean section. Methods From selective cesarean section infants (gestational age 34-38+6 W), 80 cases whose test tube oscillation tests were negative and amniotic fluid pulmonary surfactant associated protein A (SP-A) concentrations were lower than <10μg/L, and were randomly divided into PS prevention group and control group, with 40 cases in each group. PS prevention group within 1 h of birth were administrated poractant alfa injection by endotracheal tube (dose 100 mg/kg), but the control group was not given special treatment, leaving only the observation. The incidence of NRDS, treatment status and clinical progression were compared between two groups. Results The incidence of NRDS in control group was 82.5%(33/40), in PS prevention group was 37.5%(15/40), and there was significant difference (P<0.05). The degree of NRDS in control group was more severe. The incidence rate of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the new-born (PPHN), pulmonary air leak, patent ductus arteriosus and oxygenation index above 25 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) in control group were significantly higher than those in PS prevention group (P<0.05). The time of mechanical ventilation, the time of oxygen inhalation, ratio of arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) before mechanical ventilation to fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2), and costs of hospitalization in control group were significantly higher than those in PS prevention group (P<0.05). Conclusions PS prevention can reduce the incidence of NRDS of neonates delivered by elective caesarean section, can alleviate the symptoms of NRDS, shorten length of stay and reduce the cost of hospitalization.
