ABSTRACT
Once umbilical cord ligation,neonatal kidney will be responsible for maintaining the whole-body homeostasis and the excretory requirements of the newborn. Meanwhile,there is a significant physiologic changes that occurs during the transition from intrauterine to extrauterine life. Neonatal renal reserve is less than adults,for the structure and function of the kidney still undergo a maturation process. Under the normal condi-tion,the adaptive changes of the renal function,with neonatal growth and development,can keep a delicate bal-ance of the internal environment. If they are exposed to a variety of external stressors,their immature kidney is especially vulnerable,which will not only cause fluid,electrolyte and acid-base imbalances and the adverse prog-nosis,but effect kidney structure and function further mature and increase the long-term risk of chronic kidney disease as well.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the changes and functions of T lymphocyte subsets,immune globulin and complement in children with mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia(MPP) on different disease stages.MethodsThe levels of T Iymphocyte subsets of CD3,CD4,CD8 and immunoglobulin ( IgG,IgA IgM),and complement ( C3,C4 ) in the peripheral blood were detected on acute and recovery stages in 28 children with MPP by flow cytometry and immune nephelometry.Twenty-five healthy children were recruited as control group.ResultsAmong these subjects of MPP children on acute stage,the levels of CD3,CD4,CD8,and CD4/CD8 in the peripheral blood were (58.71 ± 11.63)％,(32.36 ± 8.06)％,(28.19±6.23 ) ％ and 1.15 ± 0.41 respectively,and on recovery stage,the levels of CD3,CD4,CD8,and CD4/CD8 were (61.29 ±10.17)％,(34.14 ±7.22)％,(26.47 ±6.01)％,and 1.29 ±0.37 respectively.Both on acute stage and on recovery stage of MPP children,the levels of CD4,CD4/CD8 were significantly lower than those in control group [ (39.53 ± 6.16 ) ％,1.83 ± 0.49 ],and CD8 was significantly higher compared to thecontrol group( 1.83 ± 0.49 ),P＜0.01.CD3 were lower than that in control group [ (63.03 ± 12.32) ％ ] on acute stage (P＜0.01 ),and no significant difference on recovery stage (P＞0.05).During the acute stage of MPP,IgG [ ( 14.50 ±3.86) g/L] and IgM [ ( 1.67 ±0.56) g/L] were obviously higher than those in control group [ (7.92 ± 2.62 ) g/L,( 1.06 ± 0.32 ) g/L,P＜0.01 ],and C3 [ ( 0.83 ± 0.42 ) g/L ] were obviously lower compared to the control group [ ( 1.37 ± 0.33 ) g/L,P＜0.05].There were no significant differences of IgA and C4 between MPP and control groups ( P＞0.05 ).ConclusionChildren with MPP had celhilar immune and humoral immune disorders.Through the detection of T lymphocyte subsets,immunoglobulin and complement,it will be helpful to judge the effectiveness of clinical treatment,which provides a theoretical basis for the clinical application of immune regulators.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of delayed ligature of the umbilical cord on the blood volume in premature infants in early time. Methods From Oct 2007 to Jun 2010,194 premature infants with vaginal birth in department of genecology and obstetrics were randomly divided into routine ligature of the umbilical cord group (100 cases) and delayed ligature of the umbilical cord group (94 cases), comparision were made on ligature time, blood routine examination,blood pressure,oxyhemoglobin saturation and anemia incidence in 24 h,48 h,and 72 h after birth,and hemobilirubin on 1 d,2 d,3 d,and 7 d after birth. Results There were significant differences between the two groups in delayed ligature time [(100. 14 + 10. 57) s vs (22. 40 +5.02) s,P ＜0. 05)]. The hemoglobin and blood pressure in delayed ligature umbilical group were increased significantly(P ＜ 0. 05). There was 3 cases (3. 19%) of anemia in delayed ligature of the umbilical cord group, and 11 cases (11.00%) in routine ligature of the umbilical cord group, which showed significant difference (P ＜ 0. 05). And the hemobilirubin on 7 d after birth showed no significant difference between the two groups(P ＞ 0. 05). Conclusion Delayed ligature of umbilical cord has a significant influence on hemoglobin and blood pressure of premature infant. It can increase the blood volume, and reduce the incidence of anemia in early time.
