ABSTRACT
Objective To study the short-term effects of delayed cord clamping (DCC) in preterm infants.Method A thorough search was conducted on medical databases including Cochrane Library,PubMed,Ovid,Medline,VIP citation databases,Wanfang database and CNKI.Randomized control trials (RCTs) of DCC in preterm infants were retrieved from medical literature published during January 1,2000 to January 1,2016.DCC group had cord clamping 30 ～60 s after birth,and immediate cord clamping (ICC) group had cord clamping within 30 s after birth.Methodological quality was evaluated using Cochrane Handbook for systematic reviews and RevMan 5.1 software.Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.1 software.Result Seventeen RCTs were included.Meta-analysis showed that:the blood pressure within 4 hours after birth (WMD =2.49,95％ CI 0.74 ～ 4.24),the hemoglobin concentration (WMD =15.92,95 ％ CI 6.37 ～ 25.47) and the hematocrit (WMD =4.84,95 ％ CI 3.47 ～ 6.22) within 24 hours after birth in the DCC group were higher than the ICC group,P ＜0.05;the risk of anemia (RR =0.62,95％ CI 0.47 ～ 0.81),intraventricular hemorrhage (RR =0.64,95 ％ CI 0.45 ～ 0.91) and mortality (RR =0.42,95％ CI 0.20 ～0.86) in the DCC group were lower than the ICC group,P ＜0.05;there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in peak of serum bilirubin,phototherapy duration,rate of phototherapy treatment and blood transfusion,the incidence of hyperbilirubinemia and polycythemia (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion DCC is safe and feasible for premature infants,and can improve the outcome of premature infants.
ABSTRACT
AIM:To explore the role of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) in anti-inflammation of glucocorticoids (GCs) at physiological concentrations .METHODS: MTT assay was used to measure the viability of BV-2 cells, which were processed by hydrocortisone at different concentrations .On the basis of inflammatory model induced by LPS in BV-2 cells, experimental groups were divided as follows:(1) control;(2) LPS;(3) GCs+LPS;(4) methyl-lycaconitine ( MLA)+GCs+LPS.The levels of TNF-αand IL-1βin the cell supernatants were detected by ELISA .RE-SULTS:Hydrocortisone at concentrations of 2 000 and 1 000 nmol/L decreased the cell viability to (76.9 ±5.5)% and (90.8 ±7.3)%, respectively, indicating the cellular injury by GCs at over-physiological doses.LPS significantly induced the releases of TNF-αand IL-1βin a time-and dose-dependent manner in BV-2 cells.Hydrocortisone at physiological con-centrations (500 and 250 nmol/L) reduced the releases of TNF-αand IL-1βin BV-2 cells stimulated by LPS, and MLA at concentration of 10 nmol/L antagonized the anti-inflammatory effect of GCs .CONCLUSION:α7nAChR is involved in the anti-inflammatory effect of the physiological concentrations of GCs .
ABSTRACT
This study was aimed to optimize the uniform design for effective constituents in water-soluble extractives D, E, F of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in Qi-Xue Bing-Zhi Fang (QXBZF) for the further validation of the ratio of different compatibility. A total of 100 SD rats were used in the study. Among them, 90 rats were given high fat feeding for 7 days. Then, stratified randomization was used. The rats were divided into the all-party group; D, E original prescription group; D, E optimized compatible group; D, E between optimized and original group; D, E optimized but anti-compatibility group; all-party group adding F; optimized compatible group adding F; QXBZF with mainly paeoniflorin accounted for 49.12% as component D, total flavonoids accounted for 30.0% as component E, total acids accounted for 32.07% in component F; the positive drug control group (Xue-Zhi-Kang, 0.108 g/kg); and the high fat model group. In addition, a blank control group (with normal diet) was set. Each group was treated with gastric perfusion according to drug compatibility proportion for 14 days. Rats were sacrificed to take blood samples for the detection of serum lipid, platelet aggregation, vasoactive substance, and inflammation level. The results showed that compared with the model group, the QXBZF D, E original prescription group and D, E optimized compatible group had significant decreasing effects on TC (P< 0.05). The lowest level of TC decreased by optimized compatible group was (3.49 ± 0.86) mmol/L. The all-party group, D, E original prescription group and optimized compatible group can inhibit the platelet with maximum aggregation rate effectively(P< 0.05, P< 0.01); while the D, E optimized but anti-compatibility group (with D, E inverse proportion) had no effect on it. All-party group and the D, E original group adding F had significant inhibition on IL-6 and IL-8 (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). The D, E original prescription group, D, E optimized compatible group and D, E between optimized and original group can ascend 6-Keto-PGF1α significantly (P< 0.05). ET-1 was decreased in the D, E optimized compatible group (P< 0.05). Other groups had no obvious effect on vascular active substances. It was concluded that different effects between the QXBZF D, E original prescription group and the D, E optimized compatible group were observed in action segment and strength. When F parts added, inhibitions of inflammation levels were enhanced at certain level.
