ABSTRACT
Objective: To discuss over NO inhalation [iNO] in combination with high frequency ventilation treatment in relieving clinical symptoms and respiratory state of patients with neonatal severe respiratory failure
Methods:Ninety newborns with severe respiratory failure who received treatment in our hospital were selected for this study. They were divided into research group and control group according to visiting time. Patients in the control group were given conventional treatment in combination with high-frequency oscillatory ventilation, while patients in the research group were given iNO for treatment additionally besides the treatment the same as the control group. Changes of respiratory function indexes and arterial blood gas indexes of patients in the two groups were compared. Mechanical ventilation time, time of oxygen therapy and the length of hospital stay were recorded. Besides, postoperative outcome and the incidence of complications were analyzed
Results:After treatment, the level of PaO[2] of both groups significantly improved, and respiratory function indexes such as partial pressure of carbon dioxide in artery [PaCO2], oxygenation index [OI], fraction of inspiration O[2] [FiO[2]] and mean arterial pressure [MAP] decreased [P<0.05]; the improvement of various indexes of the research group was more obvious than that of the control group [P<0.05]. Mechanical ventilation time, oxygen therapy time and the length of hospital stay of the research group was much shorter than those of the control group. The incidence of complications in the two groups had no statistically significant difference [P>0.05], but the clinical outcome of the research group was better than that of the control group
Conclusion:NO inhalation in combination with high frequency ventilation for treating neonatal severe respiratory failure is effective in improving blood gas index and respiratory function, enhance cure rate, and reduce the incidence of complications and mortality; hence it is safe and effective and worth clinical promotion
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical significance of serum interleukin (IL)-6,IL-8,tumor necrosis factor (TNF)- α, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-C RP), total immunoglobulin (Ig) and complement C levels in children with mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP). Methods Sixty-one cases of children with MPP (observation group) and 60 healthy children (control group) were selected. The serum IL-6 and IL-8 levels were tested by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) method; the serum TNF-α level was tested by γ radioimmunoassay (RIA) counter; the serum hs-CRP, total Ig and complement C levels were tested by rate nephelometry method. Results The serum IL-6 concentration was (109.31 ±54.72) ng/L, IL-8 concentration was (128.19 ±65.87) ng/L, hs-CRP concentration was (34.13 ± 19.21) mg/L, total Ig concentration was (12.62 ± 5.51) g/L and complement C concentration was (2.98 ± 0.97) g/L in the observation group, and they were higher than those in the control group [(67.23 ±32.18) ng/L, (31.78 ±8.91) ng/L, (1.62 ±1.34) g/L, (6.71 ±3.65) g/L, (1.46 ±0.45) g/L]. The differences were significant (P ＜ 0.05 or ＜ 0.01). The serum TNF- t level between two groups had no significant difference (P＞ 0.05). Conclusions The serum cytokines IL-6 and IL-8, hs-CRP, total Ig and complement C play an important role in MPP. It has important significance to detect the serum cytokines IL-6 and IL-8, hs-CRP, total Ig and complement C levels in children with MPP.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effects of different doses of insulin in diabetic ketoacidosisin children.Methods 44 patients with diabetic ketoacidosis in children who were treated with insulin in our hospital were selected as research object,and they were divided into group A(low dose group)22 cases and group B(high dose group)22 cases, and the blood glucose, blood calcium, serum potassium, acidosis corrected time and the levels of serum IL-6,IL-12,IL-18 and TNF-α and incidence of hypoglycemia of the two groups were compared and studied. Results The blood glucose, blood calcium,serum potassium, acidosis corrected time and the levels of serum IL-6, IL-12, IL-18 and TNF-α of the two groups had no differences, there were no significant difference(all P ＞ 0. 05), but the incidence of hypoglycemia of the group B was lower than that of group A,there was significant difference(P ＜0. 05). Conclusion The effects of low dose of insulin in diabetic ketoacidosis in children was better, blood glucose placidity decreases, and was worthy of further studying and popularization and application.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relation ship between the changes of platelet parameters and intracranial hemorrhage in premature children with low birth weight. Methods 73 premature children with low birth weight were selected as research subjects and divided into PIVH group (35 cases) and non PIVH group (38 cases) according to intracranial hemorrhage or not,and 20 normal newborns were selected as controls. The neonatal platelet parameters of three groups were detected and compared. Results There were 35 cases of 73 premature children with low birth weight occurred intracranial hemorrhage, the incidence rate was 47. 9%. The gestational age and birth weight of PTVH group were (29.3 ± 1.2) weeks and (1 653.0 ± 182. 1) g and which were significantly lower than the non PIVH group( all P ＜0.05) ; the asphyxia rate of PIVH group was 60.0% and which was significantly higher than the non PIVH group(P＜0.05). The PLT and PCT of PIVH group were (187.52 ±52.03) × 109/L and (0.127 ± 0.05) % and which were significantly lower than the control group (all P ＜ 0. 05) ; The PLT and PCT of non PIVH group were(223.48 ±42.15) × 109/L and (0. 189 ±0. 06)% and which were significantly lower than the control group(all P＜0. 05) ; The PLT and PCT of PIVH group were significantly lower than the non PIVH group(all P ＜ 0.05) ; while the MPV and PDW among the three groups had no significant difference ( all P ＞ 0. 05 ). Conclusion The abnormal decrease of PLT and PCT should be involved in the pathogenesis of intracranial hemorrhage in premature children with low birth weight, clinical attention should be paid to the monitoring of platelet parameters in premature children so as to alert and minimize its incidence.
