ABSTRACT
Objective:To establish a neonatal rat bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD) model induced by hyperoxia, to detect the expression of miR-876-3p in the lung tissue, and to analyze the role of miR-876-3p in the occurrence and development of BPD, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the pathogenesis, prevention and treatment of BPD.Methods:Eighty newborn SD rats were randomly divided into hyperoxia group(FiO 2 60%) and air group(FiO 2 21%). Lung tissue samples were taken on the 1st, 7th, 14th and 21st day after birth, the pathological changes of lung tissue were observed.Quantitative real-time PCR technique was used to detect the expression level of miR-876-3p. Results:Within 21 days after birth, with the prolongation of hyperoxia exposure time, the general growth of rats in hyperoxia group were lower than those in air group[14 d: (35.46±1.62) g vs.(37.08±1.25) g; 21 d: (51.92±1.83) g vs.(58.87±2.43) g]( P<0.05). On the 14th and 21st day after birth, the radial alveolar counts in lung tissue of rats in hyperoxia group were significantly reduced compared with those in air group( P<0.05). On the 7th, 14th and 21st day after birth, the alveolar septal thickness of rats in air group were lower than those in hyperoxia group( P<0.05). The expression level of miR-876-3p in hyperoxia group decreased gradually and was significantly lower on the 7th, 14th and 21st day compared with air group at the same time points[7 d: (14.97±1.13) vs.(16.64±0.89); 14 d: (11.92±0.71) vs.(16.85±0.79); 21 d: (11.39±0.79) vs.(17.52±1.17)], and the differences were all statistically significant( P all<0.01). Conclusion:In this study, a new BPD model of neonatal rats can be induced by hyperoxia and the expression level of miR-876-3p in this model is decreased.The differential expression level of miR-876-3p may play a role in the occurrence and development of BPD.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of noninvasive high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (nHFOV) as the initial ventilation mode for respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in premature infants.Methods:From the establishment of the databases [(PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang database, CQVIP and CBM (SinoMed)] to March 1, 2022, literature on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using nHFOV and nasal continuous positive airway pressure(NCPAP) as the initial ventilation modes for RDS in premature infants were searched. The qualities of the included literature were evaluated according to Cochrane Evaluation Manual. RevMan 5.4 software was used for Meta-analysis.Results:Seven RCTs involving 786 children were included for the final Meta-analysis, with 395 cases in the nHFOV group and 391 cases in the NCPAP group. The results showed that the nHFOV group had lower intubation rates than the NCPAP group ( OR=0.34, 95% CI 0.22~0.51, P<0.001). No significant differences existed in mortality rates and complication rates between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:nHFOV as the initial treatment for RDS in premature infants may reduce the incidence of early treatment failure without increasing complications.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the role of miRNA-15b and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the pathogenesis of novel bronchopulmonary dysplasia (nBPD) in rats.Methods:A total of 100 newborn SD rats were randomly assigned into BPD group and control group with 50 rats in each group. The BPD group was placed in oxygen chamber with 60% oxygen concentration and the control group received atmospheric air. The morphological changes of lung tissues were observed on 1 d, 7 d, 14 d and 21 d and the radial alveolar counts (RAC) and alveolar septal thickness (AST) were measured. The expression of miR-15b was measured using real-time quantitative PCR and the expression of VEGF in lung tissue was examined using ELISA method.Results:With prolonged oxygen exposure, the lung tissue of the BPD group showed a decrease in the number of alveoli, a gradual loss of the normal structure of alveoli and a significant widening of the alveolar septum. On 7 d, 14 d and 21 d, RAC values [(6.19±0.29) vs. (6.86±0.92), (5.35±0.67) vs.(9.75±0.34), (3.96±0.45) vs. (10.04±0.52)] were significantly lower in the BPD group than the control group ( P<0.05). On 7 d, 14 d and 21 d,the levels of AST in BPD group were significantly higher than the control group [(6.87±0.41) μm vs. (6.43±0.31) μm, (8.94±0.25) μm vs. (5.36±0.26) μm, (9.61±0.30) μm vs. (4.55±0.32) μm] ( P<0.05). On 7 d, 14 d and 21 d,the miR-15b expression in BPD group were significantly higher than the control group [(1.12±0.11) vs. (0.84±0.09), (1.33±0.09) vs. (0.73±0.07), (1.66±0.15) vs. (0.45±0.10)] ( P<0.05).On 7 d, 14 d and 21 d, VEGF in BPD group were significantly lower than the control group [(10.89±1.67) pg/ml vs. (23.86±4.38) pg/ml, (8.75±1.28) pg/ml vs. (53.94±3.49) pg/ml, (4.66±1.12) pg/ml vs. (70.37±3.10) pg/ml] ( P<0.05). Conclusions:MiR-15b and VEGF may play a role in the development of nBPD.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the effects of teaching with standardized patients and trauma simulators in surgical debridement training.Methods:Forty-two undergraduate medical students were randomly divided into research group ( n=21) and control group ( n=21) during surgical debridement training in clinical skills simulation training courses. The research group received training using standardized patients combined with trauma simulators, while the control group received training using the simulated teaching method. After training, an examination test and a questionnaire survey were conducted to investigate whether the teaching method under study improved students' doctor-patient communication skills, humanistic care skills, and clinical operational skills. SPSS 20.0 was used to perform the t test and chi-square test. Results:The research group had significantly higher scores in debridement procedures [(65.63±2.58) vs. (62.92±3.88)], communication [(18.62±0.67) vs. (12.71±1.89)], and humanistic care [(8.52±0.51) vs. (6.33±1.11)] than the control group (all P<0.05). The survey results showed that medical students were more satisfied with the teaching method with standardized patients and trauma simulators, believing that it could improve doctor-patient communication skills, humanistic care skills, and clinical practice levels ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The teaching method with standardized patients and trauma simulators can improve training effects, which is worth promotion.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the carrier status of group B streptococci (GBS) in pregnant women of Mongolian and Han nationality and the neonatal GBS infection in order to identify the high risk factors of GBS infection in Mongolian and Han newborns in this area.Methods:Totally 7289 pregnant women and their newborns born alive were tested for GBS in the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from June 2017 to June 2020, and their newborns were cultured for GBS, and the venous blood of newborns delivered by GBS positive women were detected for anti-GBS capsular polysaccharide antibody level, in order to determine the high risk factors of neonatal GBS infection.Results:Among the 7289 pregnant women, 3136 were Mongolian pregnant women (2599 full-term delivery and 537 premature delivery) and 4153 were Han pregnant women (3541 full-term delivery and 612 premature delivery). The results of GBS test showed that the GBS carrier rate was 8.19% in the Mongolian preterm delivery group, 4.35% in the Mongolian term group, 11.93% in the Han preterm group, and 5.76% in the Han term group, indicating that the carrier rate of GBS in the preterm group was significantly higher than that in the term group, regardless of Mongolian and Han nationality ( P < 0.05). Further comparing the GBS carrier rate of Mongolian and Han pregnant women, the GBS carrier rate of Mongolian pregnant women was significantly lower than that of Han pregnant women regardless of the premature delivery group and term group ( P < 0.05). (2) A total of 434 newborns were born by GBS positive parturients. The positive rates of GBS in Mongolian premature infants, Mongolian full-term infants, Han premature infants and Han full-term infants were 29.55%, 14.16%, 31.51% and 17.65%, respectively, suggesting that the positive rate of GBS in premature infants was significantly higher than that in full-term infants, regardless of Mongolian and Han nationality ( P<0.05). Further comparing the positive rate of GBS in Mongolian and Han newborns, there was no significant difference in the positive rate of GBS between Mongolian newborns and Han newborns, no matter the premature delivery group and the full-term group. (3) This study compared the incidence of early-onset GBS septicemia in Mongolian and Han newborns. The results showed that the incidence of early-onset GBS septicemia in Mongolian premature infants was 23.08%, and none in full-term infants. The incidence of early-onset GBS septicemia in Han premature infants was 26.09%. The incidence of early-onset GBS septicemia in term infants was 5.56%. The incidence of neonatal GBS septicemia in the preterm group was significantly higher than that in the term group, regardless of Mongolian and Han nationality. By further comparing the incidence of GBS septicemia in Mongolian and Han newborns, there was no significant difference in the positive rate of GBS between Mongolian newborns and Han newborns regardless of the premature delivery group and the term group. (4) In both Mongolian and Han nationality, the level of anti-GBS capsular polysaccharide antibody in premature infants was significantly lower than that in term infants ( P < 0.05). (5) Regardless of the Mongolian and Han nationality, compared with GBS negative group, GBS positive rate was higher in pregnant women aged≥35 years old, with history of menstruation, miscarriage, vaginitis, floating population, and those who had not undergone pre-pregnancy examination,,which were the high risk factors for GBS-positive pregnant women during pregnancy. (6) In both Mongolian and Han nationality, the incidence of chorioamnionitis, puerperal infection, premature delivery and premature rupture of membranes in the GBS positive group was higher than that in the GBS negative group, and the incidence of fetal distress and neonatal asphyxia in the GBS positive group was also higher than that in the GBS negative group. Conclusions:The carrier rate of GBS in Mongolian pregnant women is lower than that in Han pregnant women, and positive GBS during pregnancy will increase the incidence of adverse maternal and fetal outcomes such as chorioamnionitis, puerperal infection, premature delivery, premature rupture of membranes, fetal distress, neonatal asphyxia and neonatal early-onset GBS septicemia. The high risk factors are maternal age ≥ 35 years old, history of menstruation, abortion, vaginitis, floating population, and infection without pre-pregnancy examination. We should attach great importance to the perinatal high risk factors and formulate corresponding intervention measures accordingly, and make rational use of antibiotics for prenatal prevention, so as to further reduce the incidence of early-onset GBS septicemia in newborns.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the correlation between fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and new-onset carotid plaque through latent class trajectory models.Methods:A total of 953 observation objects came from the first affiliated hospital of Zhengzhou University in accordance with the inclusion criteria. According to the FPG values of the observed subjects during the annual physical examination from January 2017 to December 2019, the following four different FPG trajectories groups were determined by latent class trajectory modelling tools: the low-stable group, the medium stable group, the medium-high stable group, and the high stable group. Carotid plaque incidence in each group was followed up in 2020 to compare the differences of the cumulative incidences of the four groups. The Cox proportional risk regression model was used to analyze the correlation between different FPG trajectories and new-onset carotid plaque.Results:The incidence of carotid plaque increased with the increase of FPG trajectories by 11.13%, 19.70%, 23.44%, 23.81%, respectively, with significance ( P<0.001). After adjusting gender, age, BMI and other confounding factors with the cox proportional risk regression model, the risk of carotid plaque in the FPG medium stable group, medium and high stable group, high-stable group was still 1.895 (95% CI: 1.296-2.769), 2.273 (95% CI: 1.241-4.161), 2.527 (95% CI: 1.219-5.241) times of the low stable group (all P<0.05). Conclusion:The long-term high FPG levels are independent risk factors for the incidence of carotid plaque, and controlling FPG at a low level steadily can reduce the risk of carotid plaque.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the expression of micro RNA-155(miR-155) and IFN-γ in lung tissue in a neonatal rat model of acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS)lung injury by intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide(LPS).Methods:Eighty neonatal SD rats on the 7th day after birth were assigned to the experimental group(LPS group)and control group(isotonic NaCl group), with 40 rats in each group.LPS solution(4 mg/kg)was injected into the abdominal cavity of neonatal SD rats in the experimental group to establish an animal model of neonatal acute respiratory distress syndrome(NARDS). The control group was established by isotonic NaCl solution(4 ml/kg)in the same way.The lung tissue samples were taken at 3 h, 6 h, 12 h and 24 h after drug administration to observe the surface changes.Then the lung sections were stained with HE to observe the pathological changes and score the lung tissue injury.Finally, the expression levels of miR-155 and IFN-γ in the lung tissue were tested by RT-PCR and ELISA techniques, respectively.Results:(1)At the beginning of the experiment, the neonatal rats in the experimental group gradually showed the clinical manifestations of ARDS, and the macroscopic observation, pathological changes and lung tissue injury scores of the lung tissues suggested the appearance of NARDS lung injury, indicating that the model was successful.(2)The expression levels of miR-155(1.33±0.12 vs 0.95±0.02、1.77±0.17 vs 0.96±0.01、2.18±0.09 vs 0.96±0.02 and 2.43±0.06 vs 0.96±0.02)and IFN-γ(370.79±13.89 vs 273.03±11.44、424.24±10.11vs270.70±13.05、466.63±6.57 vs 268.11±7.88 and 519.13±7.09 vs 272.97±12.54)ng/L in the lung tissue of rats between the experimental group and the control group were significantly different( P<0.01), and the difference was statistically significant among the groups in the experimental group( F values were 165.983 and 408.574, P<0.01). The expression levels of miR-155 and IFN-γ in the lung tissue of the experimental group increased gradually over time and showed an increasing trend. Conclusion:After the successful establishment of NARDS animal model, the expression levels of miR-155 and IFN-γ in the lung tissue of NARDS rats have significantly increased and showed a sequential pattern.MiR-155 is expected to become an early biomarker for the diagnosis of NARDS.
ABSTRACT
Through the analysis of premature infants, preterm mothers and clinical medical workers, there are many difficulties and challenges on breastfeeding for premature infants in neonatal intensive care unit.In order to solve these problems, a team focusing on lactation consultant should be formed.
ABSTRACT
Direct breastfeeding at discharged of premature infants is a complicated process.Direct breastfeeding at discharge can not only reflect the level of medical institutions, but also determine the duration and quality of breastfeeding for premature infants after discharge.This article mainly expounds the influencing factors and corresponding intervention measures of direct breastfeeding of premature infants discharged from neonatal intensive care unit at three aspects: mothers of premature infants, premature infants and health care institutions.International lactation consultants are recommended for NICU to accurately identify and deal with the factors affecting direct breastfeeding disorders of premature infants at discharge.We should promote multidisciplinary cooperation and develop diversified breastfeeding support programs for hospitalized premature infants, so as to improve the direct breastfeeding rate of premature infants.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate whether the synonymous variation of the ATP-binding cassette transporter A3 (ABCA3) gene may increase the risk of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in Mongolian and Han newborns in Inner Mongolia.Methods:From January 2018 to June 2019, the children of Mongolian and Han nationality who were hospitalized in the Department of Neonatal Pediatrics, affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University and the control group were sequenced by ABCA3 exon gene to analyze whether there was synonymous mutation in ABCA3 gene.Results:A total of 101 children with RDS were enrolled, including 37 children with Mongolian and 64 with Han children. There were 113 patients in the control group, including 45 Mongolian children and 68 Han children. Children with Mongolian and Han nationality RDS and control group can detect multiple synonymous mutation sites, such as: F353F, P585P, A227A, V150V, L982L, A928A, S1372S, P1653P, E1618E, and A1027A, etc, among them, four synonymous variants of p.A227A, p.F353F, p.P585P and p.S1372S are common synonymous mutants. In both Mongolian and Han nationality, the frequency of ABCA3 gene synonymous mutation in RDS group was significantly higher than that in control group (Mongolian: χ2=9.402, P=0.002; Han: χ2=9.348, P=0.002 ). The mutation rates of F353F and P585P in Mongolian and Han children with RDS were higher than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant(Mongolian F353F: χ2=5.270, P=0.022; Han F353F: χ2=5.532, P=0.019.Mongolian P585P: χ2=4.711, P=0.030; Han P585P: χ2=4.480, P=0.034). Conclusions:The synonymous variation of ABCA3 gene may increase the risk of RDS in Mongolian and Han newborns in Inner Mongolia, and F353F and P585P may be one of the susceptible genes of RDS in Mongolian and Han newborns in Inner Mongolia.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the effect of PSD-95 inhibitor ZL006 in neonatal rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage(HIBD) and its potential mechanism.Methods:The seven-day-old healthy Wistar rats( n=80) were randomly divided into control group( n=20), sham operation group( n=20) and operation group (HIBD model group, n=40). The operation group was randomly divided into ZL006, treatment group (intraperitoneal injection of ZL006, 10 mg/kg, n=20) and non-treatment group ( n=20). The neonatal rats of each group were randomly selected on the 1st and 7th day after operation, and the degree of cerebral infarction was observed by triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining.The protein expression level of brain tissue in the injured area was examed by Western blot, and the effects of ZL006 on oxidative stress and antioxidant enzymes in rats with HIBD were evaluated by ELISA. Results:(1) On the first day after operation, the brain injury was the most serious in the non-treatment group, and the cerebral infarction decreased in the ZL006 treatment group.On the 7th day after operation, a little infarction could be seen in the operation group, but there was no significant difference among other three groups.(2)On the first day after operation, the expression of PSD-95 protein in the operation group was significantly higher than that in the control group and sham operation group( P<0.01). There was significant difference in the expression of PSD-95 protein between the ZL006 treatment group and the non-treatment group ( P<0.05). On the 7th day after operation, there was no significant difference in the expression of PSD-95 protein among three groups.(3)On the first day after operation, the expression of 4-hydroxynonenal in the operation group was significantly higher than that in the control group and sham operation group( P<0.01), and that in the non-treatment group was higher than that in the ZL006 treatment group ( P<0.05). On the 7th day after operation, there was no significant difference in the expression of 4-hydroxynonenal among three groups.(4) On the first day after operation, the expression of superoxide dismutase in the operation group was significantly lower than that in the control group and sham operation group( P<0.01), and that in the non-treatment group was lower than that in the ZL006 treatment group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the expression level of superoxide dismutase among three groups on the 7th day after operation. Conclusion:It is suggested that PSD-95 may be involved in the early pathogenesis of HIBD, and ZL006 may have neuroprotective effect on HIBD in newborn rats.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the relationship between pulmonary surfactant protein B (SP-B) intron 4 gene polymorphism and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in premature infants.Method From January 2016 to January 2019,premature infants diagnosed with BPD in our hospital were selected as the BPD group,and non-BPD premature infants of the same ethnic group were selected as the control group.The genotype and allele distribution of SP-B intron 4 were analyzed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)method.Result A total of 74 infants with BPD were included,including 30 Mongolian infants and 44 Han infants.A total of 134 cases were in the control group,including 56 Mongolian infants and 78 Han infants.Wild type and variant type (including insertion and deletion) could be detected in SP-B intron 4 gene in both Mongolian and Han infants.The frequencies of wild and variant genotypes and alleles in Mongolian BPD infants were similar with the control group [36.7% (11/30) vs.19.6% (11/56),21.7% (13/60) vs.12.5% (14/112)] (P > 0.05).The frequencies of wild and variant genotypes and alleles in Han infants with BPD were significantly different from the control group [31.8 % (14/44) vs.12.8 % (10/78),20.5 %(18/88)vs.7.1%(11/156)] (P<0.05).Conclusion The variation of intron 4 gene in SP-B may be related with the genetic susceptibility of Han infants with BPD in Inner Mongolia.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the correlation between polymorphisms of surfactant protein A1 rs1059047 and rs1136450 and respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in Mongolian premature infants in Inner Mongolia.Methods Totally 50 Mongolian RDS premature infants in our ward were recruited as the case group (33 males and 17 females),and another 50 Mongolian non-RDS premature infants with same ethnicity,same sex and gestational age were served as the control group (29 males and 21 females).Single nucleotide polymorphisms of SP-A1 rs1059047 and,rs1136450 and allele haploids (6A,6A2,and 6A3) were detected by polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism gene detection technology and were compared between the case and control groups.Results Threegenotypes,CC,TT,CT were detected in the case and control groups at rs1059047,all ofwhich were mainly TT genotype.There was no significant difference in genotype frequency between the two groups (x2=1.429,P > 0.05).Two genotypes,CG and GG,were detected in the case and control groups at rsl 136450,and CG was the dominant genotype.There was no significant difference in genotype frequency between the two groups (x2=1.624,P>0.05).The distribution frequency of SP-A1 allele haploids (6A,6A2,6A3) in the case group was 36%,68% and 42%,respectively,and 62%,46% and 50% in the control group,respectively.There was no significant differencein the frequency of allele haploid 6A3 between the two groups (x2=0.502,P>0.05);but there was a significantly difference in the frequency of allele haploids (6A,6A2) between the two groups (x2=6.763,4.937,P<0.05).Conclusions The alleles and allele fiequency of SP-A1 (rs1059047,rs1136450) were not associated with RDS in Mongolian premature infants.However,SP-A1 allele haploid 6A2 is the susceptible gene for RDS in Mongolian premature infants,and haploid 6A is the protective gene.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the correlation between pulmonary surfactant protein C exon5 area's gene polymorphism and the premature infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) among Mongolian and Han ethnic in Inner Mongolia District. Methods Fifty unrelated Mongolian RDS premature infants (28 weeks ≤ gestational age <37 weeks) were recruited as study group (31 male and 19 female), and another 50 unrelated Han ethnic RDS premature infants (28 weeks ≤ gestational age<37 weeks) were enrolled at the same time, as control group (27 male and 23 female).Polymerase chain reaction was used for gene polymorphism analysis and gene detection technology was employed to determine the sequence of SP-C gene exon5 area, respectively. At last, the difference in genotype frequency of SP-C gene exon 5 area C. 715G>A(S186 N) was compared between two groups. Results There were three genotypes could be checked out from SP-C gene exon 5 area C. 715G>A(S 186N)locus; namely GG,AA,AG types, and in study group, genotype frequencies of these three genotypes were 28%, 62% and 10%, respectively, and G allele frequency was 33%, and A allele frequency was 67%. Genotype frequencies in control group were 78%, 10% and 12%, respectively, and G allele frequency was 84%, A allele frequency was 16%. The A allele genotype frequency in study group at SP-C exon 5 area C. 715G>A(S186N) significantly higher than that in control group. There was statistically significant difference in alleles variations between two groups (χ2 = 53.300, P< 0.05). Conclusions SP-C exon 5 area C. 715G>A(S 186N)locus polymorphism related to Inner Mongolia Mongolian premature RDS. Individuals carrying SP-C exon 5 area C. 715G>A (S186N) A alleles have higher risk of suffering from RDS.

Method From October 2014 to October 2017, a prospective study was conducted on BPD preterm infants admitted to the neonatal department of the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University .During the same time, non-BPD preterm infants of the same nation and same ethnic group were selected as the control group.The ratio between the BPD group and the control group was 1∶1.Genotype and allelic distribution of VEGF-460T>C loci in both groups were detected using polymerase chain reaction method . Result A total of 100 BPD infants were enrolled in the BPD group , including 50 cases of Mongolian nationality and 50 cases of Han nationality.Both TT and CT genotypes were detected in the VEGF -460T>C locus in the BPD and control groups .The frequencies of the two genotypes were 38.0%and 62.0%in the BPD group, 29.0% and 71.0% in the control group.The C allele frequencies were 31.0% in the BPD group and 35.5%in the control group.The T allele frequencies were 69.0%in the BPD group and 64.5%in the control group.No significant differences existed in allele and genotype frequencies between the two groups (P=0.178 and 0.338).The frequencies of the two genotypes in the Mongolian BPD infants and the Han BPD infants were 40.0%and 60.0%vs.36.0%and 64.0%.The C allele frequencies were 30.0%and 32.0%, and the T allele frequencies were 70.0% and 68.0%.No significant differences existed in allele and genotype frequencies between the two groups ( P =0.680 and 0.648 ) .Conclusion No correlation existed between the polymorphism of VEGF -460T>C locus and the occurrence and development of BPD in premature infants in Inner Mongolia.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the relationship between exon10 region mutation of adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporters A3 (ABCA3) gene and neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS).Method From September 2014 to January 2018,neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of our hospital were studied.Mongolian and Han Chinese newborns with RDS were assigned into Mongolian RDS group and Han RDS group.Mongolian and Han Chinese newborns without RDS were assigned into Mongolian control group and Han control group.The genotype frequencies and allele frequencies of ABCA3 exon10 in each group were compared.Result A total of 320 cases were studied,including 60 cases in Mongolian RDS group,100 cases in Han RDS group,60 cases in Mongolian control group,and 100 cases in Han control group.A single-base point mutation C > T in the ABCA3 rs13332514 (F353F) locus was founded in both Mongolian and Han Chinese newborns.The mutation rates in Mongolian RDS group and Mongolian control group were 26.7% and 18.3%,and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =6.316,P =0.043);the mutation rates in Han RDS group and Han control group were 21.0% and 13.0%,the difference was also statistically significant (x2 =7.426,P =0.009).No significant differences existed between Mongolian RDS group and Han RDS group,and between Mongolian control group and Han control group (P > 0.05).The genotypes of CC,CT and TT were detected in both Mongolian and Han RDS groups,and the CC and CT genotypes were also detected in the control group.The T allele frequency was 18.3% in Mongolian RDS group,and 9.2% in Mongolian control group.The difference was statistically significant (x2 =4.251,P =0.039).The T allele frequency in Han RDS group was 15.0%,and 6.5% in Han control group.The difference was also statistically significant (x2 =7.530,P =0.006).Conclusion A single-base point mutation C >T in the rs13332514 (F353F) locus of ABCA3 exonl0 may be related to the occurrence of RDS in Mongolian and Han newborns in Inner Mongolia.Allele T may be one of the susceptibility genes of RDS.
ABSTRACT
Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome(NRDS)is the most critical disease in neonatal pe-riod.Studies have proved that genetic factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of NRDS.More and more proteins and genes which are associated with NRDS are researched.This article mainly reviewed the re-search of surfactant protein,ATP-binding cassette transporters A3,mannose-binding lectin,thyroid transcrip-tion factor-1and NRDS.
ABSTRACT
Objective To summarize the causes,related factors and outcome of extremely premature infants and extremely low birth weight infants.Methods One hundred and three cases of extremely premature infants and extremely low birth weight infants were admired to First Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University between January 2009 and December 2015.The study was performed to analyze the clinical data of the 103 cases,included history of pregnancy,birth situation,treatment and prognosis.Results In these 103 cases,67 infants survived,36 infants died.The survival rate was 65.0% (67/103).The extremely premature infants and extremely low birth weight infants were mainly associated with pregnancy-induced hypertension,infection,premature rupture of membranes.Factors that could affect the outcome of these cases included gestational age,sex,birth weight,pulmonary hemorrhage,bronchopulmonary dysplasia and necrotizing enterocolitis(P <0.05).The survival infants with long-term hospitalization often complicated with anemia.The top four causes of the death mostly were pulmonary hemorrhage,pneumonia,neonatal respiratory distress syndrome,and necrotizing enterocolitis.Conclusion In order to reduce the incidence of extremely premature infants and extremely low birth weight infants,improve the survival rate and infants quality of life,we should monitor the high-risk pregnant women closely during pregnancy period,prevent and treat all kinds of complications and prevent the occurrence of nosocomial infection.
