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.

Efficacy and safety of noninvasive high-frequency oscillatory ventilation in the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome in premature infants : a Meta-analysis / 中国新生儿科杂志

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.

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.

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.

A cohort study on the correlation between fasting plasma glucose trajectories and new-onset carotid plaque / 中华健康管理学杂志

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.

Study on colonization of Group B Streptococcus in pregnant women of Mongolian and Han nationality and the status of neonatal early-onset septicemia / 中华急诊医学杂志

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.

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.

Objective To study the correlation between polymorphism of intron 5 gene of surfactant protein B(SP-B)and bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD) in neonates and to explore the relevance of the pathogenesis of BPD at the genetic level.Methods Fifty infants with BPD admitted to the NICU in the Hos-pital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from November 2016 to November 2017 were selected as the BPD group.Among them,13 were Mongolian nationality,37 were Han nationality. Fifty newborn without BPD during the same period were assigned to the control group in this study,among them,15 were Mongolian na-tionality,35 were Han nationality.PCR technique was used to detect SP-B gene intron 5 polymorphism and its genotype and allele distribution. Results Regardless of Mongolian or Han nationality,three genotypes of SP-B intron 5 genotypes were detected:wild type,insert type and deletion type.The frequencies of the three genotypes were 73.0%(27/37),10.8%(4/37) and 16.2%(6/37) respectively,and the allele frequencies were 77.0%(57/74),9.5%(7/74) and 13.5%(10/74) respectively in the Han nationality BPD group.The frequencies of the three genotypes in the Han nationality control group were 82.9%(29/35),11.4%(4/35) and 5.7%(2/35)respectively;the allele frequencies were 85.7%(60/70),8.6%(6/70) and 5.7%(4/70) respectively.In the Mongolian BPD group,the frequencies of the above three genotypes were 53.8%(7/13), 15.4%(2/13) and 30.8%(4/13) respectively,and the allele frequencies were 61.5%(16/26),15.4%(4/26) and 23.1%(6/26) respectively.The frequencies of the above three genotypes in the Mongolian con-trol group were 53.3%(8/15),26.7%(4/15) and 20.0%(3/15),the allele frequencies were 66.7%(20/30),20.0%(6/30),13.3%(4/30) respectively.There were no significant differences in the allele fre-quencies and the genotypes of SP-B intron 5 between the Han nationality BPD group and the Han control group,the Mongolian BPD group and the Mongolian control group(all P>0.05).Conclusion No poly-morphisms of SP-B intron 5 and BPD in newborns of the Han nationality and Mongolian nationnality in Inner Mongolia are found.

The correlation between S186N gene polymorphism and the premature infants with respiratory distress syndrome in Mongolian and Han ethnic / 中华急诊医学杂志

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.
