ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) and heated humidified high flow nasal cannula (HHHFNC) in the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) among low-birth-weight premature infants.Method From May to December 2015,low-birth-weight premature infants with RDS who were born and treated in our hospital were randomly assigned into NIPPV group and HHHFNC group according to their initial ventilation mode.The incidence of initial treatment failure,the usage of pulmonary surfactant (PS),the parameters of respiratory support treatment and the incidence of complications were analyzed.Result A total of 70 cases with grade Ⅰ ～ llⅢ of RDS were included,including 33 males and 37 females.The birth weight ranged from 1 020 to 2 450 g,with a average of (1 845 ± 475) g.NIPPV and HHHFNC group each had 35 cases.No significant differences existed between the two group in the following items:the rate of mechanical intubation within 72 h (5.7％ vs.11.4％),use of PS (0％ vs.8.6％),incidence of severe apnea (11.4％ vs.14.3％),pneumonia (11.4％ vs.14.3％),the duration of invasive mechanical ventilation [76.3 (30.8,150.4) h vs.97.6 (56.2,142.6) h],non-invasive ventilation [65.0 (43.0,119.0) h vs.96.0 (65.0,134.0) h] and the duration of oxygen therapy [154.0 (47.0,340.0) h vs.148.0 (72.0,327.0) h,it was no (P ＞ 0.05).Also,no significant differences in the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia,necrotizing enterocolitis,retinopathy of prematurity,patent ductus arteriosus,intra-ventricular hemorrhage,nose injury,pneumothorax between the two groups.Conclusion As an initial respiratory support for the treatment of low-birth-weight RDS preterm infants,HHHFNC has similar efficacy and safety with NIPPV,and further clinical research is needed.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the risk factors of Schistosoma japonicum infection in the residents in Xingzi County,Ji?angxi Province. Methods Six administrative villages from different areas were randomly selected by the cluster sampling meth?od as the study sites in Xingzi Country in 2013,and all the residents aged 5 years or above were investigated epidemiologically, and the schistosome infection was surveyed by Kato?Katz technique. The risk factors of schistosomiasis were analyzed by using the Chi?square test analysis and multivariate Logistic regression model. Results In 2013,there were 2 050 residents received the stool examination and 146 persons were positive,the schistosome infection rate was 7.1%. The Chi?square test showed that gender,age,occupation and education level were associated with the population infection rate(χ2=26.485、16.836、25.700、90.805,all P<0.05). The multivariate Logistic regression mode showed that the probability of schistosomiasis for the male was 3.041 times as much as that for the female;the probability of schistosomiasis for the illiteracy and primary education level crowd was 8.870 times as much as that for the college degree or above crowed;the probability of schistosomiasis for the junior middle school education level crowd was 5.598 times as much as that for the college degree or above crowed;the probability of schistoso?miasis for the high school education level crowd was 2.995 times as much as that for the college degree or above crowed;the probability of infection of fishermen was the highest,which was 3.053 times as much as that for the other professional crowds. Conclusions The risk factors of schistosome infection mainly include gender,occupation and the education level. We should strengthen the health education of schistosomiasis control,protection against the infested water contact,and so on.
